Bulk crafts for kindergarten.
You have cereal in the house. We open the box and look: brown (buckwheat), white (rice). Gray (oatmeal), light yellow (semolina), yellow (millet), red (lentils), green (peas). Ground coffee, tea leaves, and corn flakes crushed into fine powder are also great. Anything that crumbles is GOOD FOR WORK. Whatever is not enough for a flight of fancy can be purchased in the store. Here are some ideas for bulk quick crafts for kindergarten.
CRAFTS GOOSE (loose applique for kindergarten).
We will need PVA glue, a sheet of paper, cotton wool, corn flakes, pumpkin seeds. Draw the outline of a goose on a piece of paper. To avoid spoiling the background, first draw the goose on a rough drawing. And cut out the silhouette that you like with scissors (like a template) and trace it on the background blue sheet.
Advice - The base for bulk applications must be dense. A sheet from a sketchbook, a piece of whatman paper, or a sheet of colored paper glued to hard cardboard (cut from a pizza box). A blue background can be obtained by painting a sheet of paper with gouache (dilute blue gouache with water), dip a dish sponge into this liquid and run it back and forth across the sheet - this way you will quickly and evenly tint the sheet blue.
How to do . Fill the desired part of the craft with glue (for example, paws) and while the PVA glue is liquid, pour a bunch of small crumbs from corn bugs onto it. Let it sit (do not touch it with your fingers, do not move it so that the glue sets). And then we pour the excess onto the table. We repeat this with other materials.
Craft DOVE – how to make it with your own hands from cereals is already clear. Exactly the same process as with the GOOSE applique. Can be used White rice, salt, flour (then sprinkle the flour with hairspray so that the craft does not stain your hands).
Can be used dry for crafts natural material scraps of hay, seed wings (as in the HEDGEHOG craft from the photo below). Such seed wings hang on ash trees until winter (and in winter too), in large bunches. I tore off 5 such bunches and here you have a whole bunch of hedgehog needles. You can also take a fir cone and use tongs to tear out all the scales from it - they can also become a prickly coat for a hedgehog.
How to work with large seeds. We glue it with duct tape.
If you feel that large, heavy seeds will not stick to PVA glue, you can use double-sided tape. Now I’ll tell you the whole process using the example of the STORK CRAFTS.
- Drawing a stork on a draft sheet full size.
- This rough drawing, from the reverse (undrawn) side seal with strips of double-sided tape(we try without lyes).
- Further, without removing the protective film from the tape cut out the entire outline of the stork.
- We spread glue on the paper side of the taped stork and glue it to the main background of the craft (cardboard the color of the sky).
- When the glue dries, we remove the tape film and we get a wonderful sticky surface of the entire stork glued to the cardboard. And now on this stickiness we place the seeds where we need white ones, where we need black ones.
- Beak and legs sprinkle with semolina and then color it with a red marker or gouache.
- Nest For the craft, we form it from blades of grass, branches, the contents of a pencil sharpener, tea leaves - in short, whatever you can find in the house.
Small beans are perfectly placed on double-sided glue. Remember that the base for the craft must be solid; if your sheet bends, then the beans at the bending site may begin to bounce off. Below we see beautiful and simple works DOG, OWL and ROOSTER.
It is best to glue the beans with hot glue from a gun.
Such an owl and dog do not have to be made from beans - white color can be obtained from rice groats, yellow from millet or corn flakes, light brown from buckwheat, dark brown from coffee granules. After making the craft, you can protect it by SPLASHING IT WITH HAIR SPRAY.
The rooster will turn out bright if you use it in his crafts red lentils, colored cornflakes, salt poured onto the PVA slurry and gouache of the desired color. Colored salt sprinkles It turns out like this: we dilute 1-5 drops of colored gouache of the desired color in a tablespoon of PVA - we get colored glue. We spread it on the craft area (on the feather of a rooster) and while the glue is liquid, pour salt (or sugar) onto it; the salt absorbs the paint and dries tightly into a colored salt crust.

Crafts from pine cones
For kindergarten.
You can make a lot of crafts from pine cones on our website in the section on crafts from natural materials, you will find many ideas from pine cones, in this article I want to show you unusual ones (not standard hedgehogs, squirrels and bears) but more delicate creatures of nature - WINGED BIRDS.
CRAFTS for the garden – GOLDEN BIRDS.
TO pine cone attach the bird's head. The head may be foam ball ik, plastic ball from a chocolate egg, or if there is none of this, a lump of newspaper covered with plasticine. If you roll the newspaper into a round ball, wrap it with threads (for roundness and strength) and then coat it with plasticine, then we will get a light ball - that is, the main thing in the ball is that it will not be heavy and will not pull the bird down. It’s even better not to crumple the newspaper, but a piece of polyethylene (cling film) - it’s probably lighter in weight.
Plasticine round head coat with PVA glue and place pieces of torn paper napkin on the glue, coat again and place again. The head will become smooth white paper and can be painted with gouache in any color.
We cut out the wings from cardboard or flat plastic. We paint the whole bird with gouache, maybe white, then dry it and paint the feathers different shades gouaches.
The hardest part is the wire legs. In theory, you need to drill through the cone, insert a wire into it, and shape the ends of the wire, bend it like splayed fingers. But it can be difficult. Therefore, my advice is MAKE IT SIMPLE - without legs, find a strong branch and place the bird on it (on plasticine, tied by threads, or with glue). Decorate the branch with paper leaves or paper flowers (or popcorn flowers). Yes, popcorn looks great next to paper green leaves - it seems like it's flowering twig. And if you paint the popcorn with white gouache or pink (then sakura will bloom in your hand).
Here are more variations on the theme of birds made from pine cones. Hummingbird bird - the head is made of plasticine, a long toothpick (beak) is stuck into it. We coat the area of the head and beak with PVA glue and place thin pieces of paper napkin on top of the wet glue, covering the top with PVA glue as well and smoothing it with a finger, pressing out the wrinkles of the napkin. You can apply 2-3 layers of napkin (as you wish). Dry and paint with gouache.
Craft SWANS for kindergarten It's easy to do. Cut out a circle from the box, coat it with PVA glue and sprinkle with cereal (rice, semolina, millet - any). We wait for the glue to dry and paint it with gouache (not very wet, so as not to soak the glue).
Cooking swan. You are thinking of making a neck out of plasticine (but then it will be heavy and hang down). To prevent your neck from being heavy, you can do this. We roll a piece of paper (or cellophane) into a tube or flagellum. We bend this tube in the manner of a swan neck and wrap it with threads to fix this bend. Coat with plasticine. We attach the neck to the bump. Good way fastening is to stick a pin or nail into the cone and place the neck on this rod.
Now we decorate the neck- Apply PVA glue to the plasticine and place pieces of torn paper napkin on the glue. We smooth the napkin with a wet brush with glue, put another layer of napkin until there is a smooth surface of the swan neck. We paint both the bump and the neck white.
And if you have light airy plasticine, then you can mold the entire neck from it and then there will be less fuss with paper, threads, and plasticine.
Craft EAGLE from scales from pine cones.
We take a cone, ordinary pincers and peel the cone with pincers - that is, we pull out the scales from it. We collect a bowl of scales - this will be the lining of our eagle.
Now we need to make an EAGLE FIGURINE, which we will cover with scales. It can be made entirely from plasticine (if you have a lot of plasticine) or first crumple an oval from newspaper, wrap it with thread and then coat it with plasticine. That is, you will need less plasticine.
The figurine must be secured to some kind of BASE. It could be a stone, a piece of wood, a driftwood, or if you are very far from nature, you can make an artificial driftwood. We take a bottle of yogurt, pour sand inside (so that it is heavy) and coat it with plasticine, on top with PVA glue and pieces of newspaper or toilet paper; the shape of the driftwood will depend on the thickness of the layers of paper. We dry it, paint it with gouache - there is a heavy piece of driftwood - now we put a plasticine figurine of an eagle on it.
Now we will cover the eagle with feather scales. We start from the tail and up to the neck - we lay it like tiles. It's best to use hot thermal glue from a gun. Possible at epoxy resin, you can do something else... We cover the head starting from the beak and down to the neck. AS AN OPTION, you can cover your head with white paper scales, or seed shells, or white rice. Taste according to your taste.
Using the same technique you can make this one bird CRANE. If you paint it in pink color and change the bend of the neck, then the crane will become a flamingo.
USING THE SAME TECHNIQUE for gluing a three-dimensional figure is also done craft OWL. It’s probably already more complicated - but maybe you can do it quickly. Take on the work that you believe will succeed.
If crafts for kindergarten are not in a hurry, then you can divide the work into 2-3 days. This way you won't have time to get tired and you can even make it with your own hands complex crafts. When I made Santa Claus, I also divided the work into 3 days. One evening I crumpled up some newspaper and covered it with plasticine. On the second day, I made a relief of the face and a relief of Santa Claus's fur coat from a paper napkin soaked in PVA glue. On the third day I painted everything with gouache. And it turns out that not a single day did I have time to get tired or freak out.

Crafts from paper rosettes.
The hardware section of the store sells paper cupcake sockets. If you are a cooking mom, then you have these things in your home. Here's a quick and easy way to turn cupcake liners into an awesome craft for your kindergarten classroom.
By the way, the molds can be perfectly painted with gouache or watercolor in any color. And at the same time they do not get wet and do not lose their corrugated shape. Therefore, you yourself can create the colors of the molds you need, according to the plan of your craft for kindergarten.
Here is an OWL craft on a branch. The base of the body is a cardboard roll. Take a piece of cardboard (half an A4 sheet) and roll it into a wide tube (we fasten it with staples or tape). We bend the upper bell of the pipe from the front edge and from the rear edge. That is, we press with our fingers on the edges of the cardboard tube and this edge in front is bent towards the inside of the tube. We do the same from behind. And then along the edge of the cardboard tube - the corners of the bend stick out on the left and right - OWL EARS.
Now we cut the paper rosette for the cupcake into three parts (namely the relief layer) and glue it onto the belly of the future owl - like a three-layer skirt. Cut out round eyes on top, draw pupils with a marker (or cut out pupils from black paper). We cut out the wings and glue them to the back of the back.
You can make a corrugated fold from a regular PAPER FAN. And also use it in a craft with owls. Or you can from paper fan make a FISH craft. Hang them on strings on a branch. Paint the branch white (white sea coral) or red (alpha coral).
The fan fold is easy to do. We fold the A4 sheet like an accordion - vertically (so that it is long and thin). Then we fold this thin fan in half (we bend it in the middle) and as a result we get the shape of a fish. From the bend we insert fins and a fan tail from a tiny piece of paper.

FROM CORRUGATED CARDBOARD.
In the stationery departments of the store they sell colored corrugated cardboard for children's crafts. You didn’t buy it before because you didn’t really understand what to make of it. Now you have some great ideas for making quick and easy crafts. All you need to do is cut a sheet of such ribbed cardboard into strips. And then wrap these strips into rolls, alternating colors if necessary.
This way you get a lot of voluminous, plump crafts. Beautiful and bright. Which you are not ashamed to bring to kindergarten.
You can make various flat crafts using a technique similar to quilling from this thick, rough material - and the crafts will turn out to be large and weighty. Here is an example of a PEACOCK craft in the photo below.
You can also take ordinary PACKAGING GRAY CORRUPTED CARDBOARD - a TV box, for example. And make beautiful large crafts out of it. Then paint them with gouache and you will get an interesting team of animals or dinosaurs. You can make a whole small farm. With a fence and lawns.
Plant trees around, arrange bushes and create flower beds. We make bases for the silhouettes of trees and bushes from toilet paper rolls. Cutting it with scissors to the height we need.
Let’s immediately see what can be made from toilet paper rolls.

FROM ROLLS.
Here is a UNICORN craft from a roll. It's easy to do. In the upper part of the roll we cut a SLIT with scissors and insert the silhouette of a unicorn’s neck into it. On the back of the butt we also make a cut and insert the silhouette of the tail there. We cut out the legs from another roll - like two arcs. And we glue these arcs down under the tummy of the magic horse.
The tree is made simply - the roll is cut into a triangle along the facade. It has a slot on the sides - into this slot we insert the silhouette of a tree crown made of green cardboard. It's simple. We paint the roll in brown gouache.
At the bottom of the pizza box we create grass, a stream, on the folded pizza lid we draw a landscape - mountains, hills, sky, sun. In this decoration we place a unicorn, a tree and other things that you come up with yourself. Use your imagination - there is a lot of space.
Here's a simple and quick craft OWL made from a roll and cardboard. As we can clearly see in the photo below, there is a gap in the roll on both sides. We thread the silhouette of an owl (head + wings) into this slot. Next we decorate everything with eyes, feathers and paws. The design of your decor can be anything - you don’t have to copy this craft. Make it cooler. Cut beautiful paper feathers.
Here's a clown in a hat. On both sides of it are pom-poms made of yellow and red threads. I have already told you how to quickly make a pompom from a fork and thread.
If you put the roll horizontally, you can make other crafts for kindergarten. Chicken in the nest. The principle is the same - cut slits into the rolls, insert the silhouettes of the neck and tail. Place the wings on the side with glue.
Here a toilet paper roll serves as a body lion We roll up a smaller roll from another cardboard - this will be the volume of the head. Now we do this. We glue a flat silhouette of a lion's mane onto the stomach and glue a roll-head onto the mane. We attach the ears on top (a paper oval, folded in half, one half of the oval was smeared with glue and applied to the head, the other half of the oval sticks up - like an ear).
We glue the tail at the bottom of the roll from the inside. We glue the paws under the lion's tummy. I'm quick and a simple DIY craft for kindergarten.
Here's a craft I really like DOG IN THE BOOTH. You will be the coolest in kindergarten if you bring such beauty to the exhibition.
How to make a dog. Cut out the silhouette of the butt from cardboard (just half an oval, with an oval slot between the legs). Cut out the same silhouette for the front. And cut out the round heads. And we cut out two ears, eyes, and the nose of the muzzle from paper.
We glue the back and front onto the roll on both sides. TO KEEP IT UP, WE DO THIS– we put the crumpled newspaper into the roll so that it is flush with the hole. That is, in a roll of newspaper inside, it sticks out on both sides of the roll and it is convenient to smear it with glue and press the silhouettes of the dog’s butt and front.
Next, glue the ears, eyes, nose part onto the silhouette of the head - and ready head apply to the front breast. You can, if desired, make a spacer between the chest and head from a thick piece of cardboard - this way our head will be slightly raised above the neck - torn off from the chest, creating a 3D effect.
DOG HOUSE we make it from a milk or juice box. We cut a hole (in the form of an arch. Upper part We sharpen the boxes - in the shape of a triangle in front and behind (that is, we create a triangular facade on which the roof can be placed). And we cut out a rectangle of cardboard with a width as the side of the box and a length as the sum of two roof slopes (plus a margin for the eaves). And glue the roof onto the booth box. We cover the box with gouache.
Secret - if the box is glossy, then the gouache will roll off it and slide. Therefore, before painting, the box can be covered with a paper napkin using PVA glue. And on such a basis the gouache will lie better. After the gouache has dried, we always spray it with HAIR SPRAY to fix the color and it won’t stain your hands.
There is also a secret. If you want to paint something slippery with gouache, then you need to drop some into the paint liquid soap. This way the gouache will adhere better and not form droplets on the glossy cardboard.

CASSETTES for eggs.
If you buy eggs in cartons at the store, then you are in luck. You have an excellent base at home for creating a good large craft. This is no longer some small fry - this is a real big bright thing made with your own hands. It will look great on display in a kindergarten. Here are some ideas for such a bright craft for kindergarten.
Rooster and hen - cardboard, colored paper, glue and gouache. Everything is simple and quick to do with your own hands. There’s no need to even explain anything here. Everything is clear. Easy job.
By the way, for such a craft hen with chicks You can use a regular white rubber glove, inflate it and tie it tightly with thread. And it’s even better not to inflate it, but fill it with starch or flour, or semolina - and tie it. This way you won’t have to worry about air escaping from the glove.
Chickens are simply made with your own hands. We crumple 2 balls from the newspaper - a larger one (body) and a smaller one (head). We cover the lumps with PVA glue and paste them with a white paper napkin (or toilet paper), cover them again and paste them with pieces of the napkin. We coat them again, smooth them with our fingers, and let them sit for the glue to dry. Paint the top with yellow gouache. Spray with hairspray to fix the gouache color. Well, then we collect the chicken.
Craft CROCODILE will please the boys. To paint the crocodile evenly, use gouache diluted with water, soak a foam sponge for washing dishes in this green liquid and blot the egg cassette on all sides, thanks to the sponge you will thoroughly saturate all the cracks, bumps and roughnesses with paint.
An egg carton can be turned into a piece of the UNDERWATER WORLD. And if you have sand and shells it will be great. To prevent the craft from spilling sand in your bag, place the sand on the glue. That is, pour PVA glue onto the bottom of the box and immediately sprinkle it with sand, leave it until dry, turn the box over, pouring out the excess sand.
From cassette and colored paper you can make ships with sails, masts and flags.

From PLATES.
An ordinary plastic plate can become the basis for an applique. The plate can be painted with gouache so that the gouache adheres well to the slippery plastic, add liquid soap to it. Or cover the plate with pieces of paper napkin with PVA glue - a layer of glue, a layer of napkin, a layer of glue, a layer of napkin, and a layer of glue on top (then the gouache will go well on the napkin).
Based on a disposable plate, you can make a variety of compositions and panels. For example on spring theme Birds in the nest.
Or at nautical theme fish in the porthole. To create a porthole you need 2 plates. One is intact, the other has a hole instead of a bottom. Glue the plates together with the bottoms up. We apply an applique made of paper and natural material to the bottom of the lower plate. If desired, you can apply transparent cellophane to the second holey plate.
You can cut the bottom of the plate, leaving a little bottom at the edge. Use a hole punch to cut holes along this edge and use threads and beads to make a cheerful tangled web. Such a web can be designed like a bright sun. Or like a black web with a spider. I told you how to make spiders in the article.
On the theme of sunshine and rainbows, you can make something like this for the garden bright craft with your own hands. Simple and beautiful. You don't even have to buy colored paper and paint strips of white paper yourself in the colors of the rainbow with bright gouache in many layers. Then SPRAY with HAIR SPRAY - and the gouache color will shine with a bright and thick shade.
You can also make a craft-installation on any theme based on the plate. Below is the topic SEA HOLIDAYS. A craft that will delight both you and the kindergarten teacher with its spa atmosphere.
And if you cut the plate into pieces, you can make many more interesting craft options. Here is the DOVE that carries the branch of peace.
Here is a cunning little fox sister. We paint the plate with gouache (according to the rules described above). Half of the plate is the body. And we cut the other half to extract other parts - head, tail, legs, ears.
You can add elements of cardboard or thick paper for drawing to the edges of the plate. Such parts are attached to staples with a stapler or to punctures with a needle and thread or to double-sided tape. Hot glue from a gun is not necessary, it melts the plate.

From BOXES.
Everyone has boxes at home. Large (from shoes) or not very large (from juice and milk) or smaller (from tea, cookies, cream). These unnecessary things can become the basis for beautiful crafts PONY RAINBOW UNICORN.
- We wrap the boxes with white paper. We take a pencil in our hands, draw a nose with nostrils, an eye with eyelashes. We take gouache and paint it.
- From colored paper we make ears, a rainbow tail and a cone horn. We make legs from toilet paper rolls.
- Collecting a beautiful rainbow unicorn pony. We glue the cone (we cut the edge of the cone onto the fringe, bend the fringe inside the cone - smear the horse's head with glue and apply the cone to this sticky place. In the box at the back (on the butt) we make a slot with a knife and insert the rainbow tail feathers there.
- How to glue a pony leg. We stuff crumpled newspaper into the leg rolls. We spread the newspaper sticking out of the roll with glue and glue all the legs to the pony’s tummy.
Craft SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS – also made on the basis of a box. The eyes are a foam ball cut in half with a knife. Everything else is paper, cardboard and maybe formium (sheet material foamed like a sponge).
And if take a larger box and open it, remove the lid - then we will get a small theater stage on which we can place any decorations for fun game. It could be an ocean with fish, waves and shells.
This could be a penguin base on ice floes made of thick layers of polystyrene foam (insulation from a box with mom’s boots).
You can take just the bottom of a box or the lid of a box and set up a small farm there, especially if you already have pet figurines. It will be beautiful great craft for kindergarten.
Or you can make a small yard with a fence for animals made with your own hands from paper and cotton wool. How to make a box and a sheep out of cardboard was shown a little higher - also a good option for our farm with our own hands.
If you don't have any pets in your toy collection, but you do have an abundance of wild or tropical species of herbivores and carnivores, then you can make a different habitat. Jungle or savannah craft.
And if there are no toy animals at all, then you can make cozy ones without them. courtyard houses.
This is just a beautiful three-dimensional craft with a house, a courtyard, a fence, trees and bushes. The relief texture of corrugated cardboard allows you to create an imitation of a tiled roof, a log wall of a house and a plank fence surrounding the yard.
The lines of the bush are attached to the bottom of the box with glue - the lower part of the bush is bent to the side, smeared with glue and pressed to the bottom of the box. And so, row by row, we glue all the layers of the bush or flower bed.
The flower bed is made up of pieces of gray cardboard onto which a scattering of colored paper flowers have been glued. Each scattering of its own color is on a separate cardboard. And you get a voluminous flower bed with rows of flowers. The first rows are low, the back rows are high - this creates volume in the flowerbed and all the flowers are visible, looking out from each other.

Crafts FLOWERS
for kindergarten
A craft in the form of a bouquet of flowers made by yourself always looks good. There can be a lot of options here.
OPTION WITH AIR PLASTICINE. If you have air light plasticine, then you can make this craft. From hard cardboard we cut hearts of two colors (light blue and dark blue) - spray them with hairspray and sprinkle glitter on the varnish. Roll a round ball out of airy plasticine. We stick heart-shaped petals into it (with the sharp nose into the pulp of the heart-shaped flower). At the bottom we stick a cocktail tube - it can be wrapped in green paper or coated with green plasticine to match the color of the flower stem.
OPTION WITH FOAM RUBBER. You can make the center of the flower from foam rubber. Then we glue the petals onto a round piece of cardboard, and attach the cocktail shelf there (with glue or thread with a needle, piercing the stick and cardboard in two places, like sewing on a button). And on top of the center of the flower we place a round piece of foam sponge.
How to make flowers - TULIPS IN AN ACCORDINARY
- You need to fold a sheet of paper like an accordion like a fan.
- Then unfold the accordion, level it on the table and put the tulip template on it, trace it with a pencil and cut it out.
- Bend the accordion along the same lines again.
- Use a hole puncher to make a hole (or scissors) and insert a cocktail straw into it.
- We stick the flowers into a container (box) with sand. On top we decorate the sandy surface with beautiful pebbles.
You can stick a bouquet of flowers into a vase with salt with your own hands. You can take salt colored sea water for the bath. Or paint it yourself with gouache and rub it with your hands so that the paint is distributed over all the salt grains.
Sami TWISTED FLOWERS are done simply. We cut a strip of paper into a wide fringe and twist it onto a skewer. Or we make the fringe spin by scraping it with the blade of scissors. The leaves are also a strip of paper jagged with long teeth along its edge.
Toilet paper rolls can also turn into craft - narcissus . On one side, cut the paper roll into sharp teeth. On the other back side, the roll is cut into fringes (strips), which we bend inside the roll so that they are the legs on which glue can be applied and glued to the silhouette of a yellow cardboard flower.
And here are the crafts TULIPS which stand on long wooden skewers. The master class below shows everything. To create one bud you need to cut out 4 identical tulip silhouettes. Fold each silhouette in half vertically. We glue each half between adjacent halves - just like we glued the pages of a diary with a deuce. We insert a skewer inside the gluing.
But here's a whole one BOUQUET OF FLOWERS,craft from an egg carton on a wire. We need wire for crafts that bends easily.
The bouquet does not have to be so large - you can make a few flowers using this technique.
All we need is a cardboard egg carton. We cut out deep cells from it. We cut each cell into rays. We round each ray. We stick a wire into the middle in 2 places like a button.
We twist the wire legs in a coil. All that remains is to paint the flower with gouache and glue the paper stamen into it to hide the web. A simple and beautiful craft for kindergarten.
These are the ideas for crafts for kindergarten that you found today on the “Family Heap” website.
Now you know for sure that you can do a lot beautiful crafts do it yourself in one day. And at the same time you will only get pleasure. Because all the steps are CLEAR AND SIMPLE. All you need to do is first do the first step well, then do the second step well, and then finish. Each craft is just three steps. Each step is not difficult in itself. This means that the whole craft as a whole is simple.
Walk. Go for it. Create. And I will look for more simple and good solutions for you.
Olga Klishevskaya, especially for the site
If you like our site, you can support the enthusiasm of those who work for you.
Today we offer a selection of ideas and small workshops on the topic of needlework. It will be useful to all those who like to make children's crafts with their kids. For a kindergarten with your own hands, based on the material presented, you can make a lot of interesting things, so our ideas will be doubly useful to those who do this on duty. This refers to educators or leaders of thematic development circles.
We tried to collect as many ideas as possible that could be useful in joint creativity. Sometimes you really want to do something original, simple and exciting with your kids! But offhand interesting options are usually remembered or invented with difficulty - nothing worthwhile comes to mind “on the fly”. It is for this occasion that we offer our selection called “DIY Children’s Crafts for Kindergarten.”
Little artists
As you know, there are no limits to children's imagination. Any most original creative idea will definitely be received with enthusiasm. Making crafts with your own hands for kindergarten children is both entertainment and a useful developmental activity. But before implementing intricate fantasy projects, it’s worth working out simpler options. Sometimes from standard set(glue, sheets of colored paper, scissors and pencil) you can “squeeze out” a lot of creativity. And when you look around in search of new means at hand, you will be surprised how much has so far eluded our attention.
You can see examples of such DIY crafts in the photo. Almost anything is suitable as starting material for kindergarten! If we stock up on plastic disposable cups, scraps of fabric, bright threads, plasticine, unnecessary packaging, and sometimes toilet paper, our possibilities will expand incomparably.
DIY children's crafts for kindergarten - the most popular
Applications are the simplest and most affordable option creativity for kids. The only “consumables” you need are glue and plain paper (colored and white). The amount of what can be obtained from it is almost beyond enumeration. If you have sheets of cardboard, corrugated or glitter paper, you can make anything from bright unusual flower or animal figurines to a carnival mask and a fantasy greeting card.
There are a great many techniques for working with paper. By looking on the Internet or armed with special literature, you will learn a lot about scrapbooking, decoupage, quilling, and origami. It is not possible to describe each of the technologies here due to the sufficient labor intensity and the huge number of proposed options.
Of course, it’s not easy to make DIY crafts for kindergarten using complex technology. And you and I can choose the simplest method - make it together with the kids paper applique. All you need for this is glue, a brush, a cardboard base and pieces of bright multi-colored paper sheets.
We will organize an exhibition hall
Having chosen an idea for a future masterpiece under your guidance, little masters will get to work with passion. Before you know it, you'll have a whole collection of touchingly inept images fairy-tale heroes, flowers, people and even, perhaps, your own portrait. Such DIY paper crafts will not only decorate a kindergarten, but also turn it into a kind of art gallery.
If children are bored with working only with pieces of paper, you can diversify it by offering combined materials. Great idea- make a large product with the whole group, for example, a wall panel poster. In addition to a large piece of cardboard, glue and paper, take buttons, decorative tape and any small items that each of the kids brings from home. This collective creativity will bring a lot of pleasure to children and will serve great idea for decorating a children's room or a gift for mom on March 8th.
Back to nature!
Nowadays it is fashionable to make children's crafts for kindergarten with your own hands in the form of so-called environmental applications. They are usually composed entirely of natural materials. We are talking about all kinds of pebbles, shells, dry leaves, different types bulk cereals, seeds, grains. Such “tools” are environmentally friendly. And how interesting it is to work with them! The small components of our picture are fixed on a sheet or with glue, or with a thin plasticine layer.
Along the way, you will tell children about the properties of various natural materials and the opportunities they open for creativity. Such crafts awaken children's imagination. You will be surprised how much creativity little artists can discover.
There is another technology that can be classified as a type of application. These are DIY crafts for kindergarten from rolled up paper napkins balls. They are very popular among children, and it is not surprising - in the process of creating a masterpiece, napkins not only can, but also need to be crumpled, torn, wrinkled - not like at the dinner table! The material, soft and pleasant to work with, is easily rolled up, and then the intended picture is formed from the blank balls.
From waste material
How many necessary and useful things we, adults, consider to be garbage. But now everything will be different! From yesterday's rubbish, under your strict guidance, kids will learn to make more than just junk crafts with your own hands for kindergarten, but real works of art.
By inviting children to collect scrap materials for creative purposes, you will be surprised at how many new ideas await you. You'll be overwhelmed useful material- torn socks and mittens, empty plastic bottles, disposable forks and even toilet paper rolls. With a little imagination, with the help of children you will have to transform all this trash into original and very cute fabric dolls, bright piggy banks, outlandish animals, vases and original flowers.
A few specific ideas
Having collected a small collection of plastic bottle caps, we can make a bright, perky caterpillar with our own hands as a spring craft for kindergarten. The background for it will be a large leaf cut out of a template from green cardboard. We make several blank circles, each with a diameter slightly larger than a bottle cap. These blanks will have to be cut out of paper of different colors.
We attach the curved “body” of the caterpillar from plastic caps to the green base sheet with glue, then cover each of them on top with a bright paper circle. You can take the larger one from the outermost one - it will be a muzzle with a funny mustache. Glue a pair of legs to the bottom of the caterpillar, which is amusingly curved on the leaf, close to each of the circles.
If the theme of the crafts is “Spring,” you can also make the following with your own hands in kindergarten. We will use the cardboard egg trays that we usually throw away to make wonderful flowers. Each cell will serve as the basis of a separate bud. After cutting the packaging, we carefully form flower petals from the resulting cardboard cups using scissors. We paint our products with gouache in bright spring colors. The cores are glued from plain paper or the same napkin balls, and a piece of ordinary wire will serve as the stem.
Plumbing creative
You will be surprised, but such a banal thing as a hollow tube from a used toilet paper roll is also suitable as a material for creativity. If you don’t throw away these cylinders, you can use them to make funny stands for pencils and pens, or, by painting them with pencils and paints, cute funny people. Cardboard cylinders can be covered with ribbons, pieces of fabric or bright paper.
As you know, most of all children love to make all kinds of animals. Anything is suitable as a material for this. For example, you have unnecessary paper cups for cupcakes (they are called wafers). These are excellent preparations for making smeshariki! Their corrugated sides are straightened, painted in desired color, dried and flattened and glued onto cardboard.
The round character is equipped with eyes, ears, nose and tail. In addition to smeshariki, from corrugated circles you can make a ladybug, a bright yellow chicken, a cat or bunny face and much, much more. A child can make such a bright and simple product, for example, for Easter and give it to his parents.
We make chickens and cockerels
Here's another one great idea for group children's creativity. Subject collective crafts could become a bird yard. Cockerels, hens and chicks are cut out of paper according to templates. Each of the body blanks is lined on top parallel lines, along which frequent slits are made with scissors.
By folding the main part and fixing it with glue, we get a three-dimensional figure. The paper edges cut into “noodles” form scallops, wings and fluffy bird tails. Pre-prepared eyes and beaks are glued to the figures.
Here's another idea - funny hedgehog from yarn. If you don't have brown, black or gray, it doesn't matter. Our hedgehog can be bright and even colorful. The threads should be cut into pieces of equal length ranging from 2 to 5 cm in size (depending on the volume of the future craft) and then glued to the paper blank of the hedgehog’s body. The number of wool “needles” should be enough to fill the entire space, without bald spots.
Sunny chick
How can I get other DIY spring crafts for kindergarten (for example, for Easter)? If you have a skein of bright yellow yarn, try making a cute fluffy chicken using the pom pom technique. You will need a large eyed needle, cardboard, a couple of black beads for the eyes and a small piece of bright red fabric.
Here is a diagram of such a DIY craft for kindergarten step by step. We make two pom-poms (smaller ones for the head, larger ones for the body). Each of them will require a pair of cardboard circles of the same diameter. We pierce holes in the center of them. Having folded the figures in pairs, we wrap them with yellow thread until the inner hole is completely filled. Several turns are laid between the cardboard rings with the same thread to secure it.
Then the winding is cut with scissors along the outer edge. The cardboard blanks are no longer needed; we carefully pull them out and remove them. Then fluff the resulting pompom and trim the ends using scissors.
The second one is made in the same way, then the pieces are joined together and completed with a beak and paws cut from a red piece of paper. The eye beads are attached using glue.
Other DIY "Spring" crafts in kindergarten
Is March 8th ahead? Instead of traditional flowers, there is an alternative as a gift for girls - sweet crafts made from candies. Young gentlemen can be involved in their production. However, girls can also make similar crafts for their friends for their kindergarten group with their own hands as tasty souvenirs.
The product can be made in the form, for example, ladybug. The body is cut out of a pre-selected piece of polystyrene foam no more than 10 cm thick. The candies must be wrapped. Each of them is decorated with corrugated paper and looks like a separate bud.
The prepared sweets, packaged in bright corrugation, are carefully glued onto the body of the cow, forming a body and wings. We decorate the head with dark paper. To place our sweet products tightly on the surface, you will need at least 20-30 candies. Don't forget to decorate the sweet applique with eyes and antennae.
In general, sweets are a great gift for any occasion. Decorated in the form of an original craft-composition, they can please both fathers and grandfathers on February 23rd. You can, for example, make a military vehicle or a tank. Of course, such a project is beyond the power of children alone; it cannot be done without the help of adults. But if you agree with your mother, grandmother or older sister, you can prepare the original and a solid gift for the men's holiday.
Frame war machine or tanka is made of cardboard. A trapezoid-shaped tower is made separately. Big box will serve as the basis. Don't forget to include tracks and roll up the paper barrel. You can fasten the elements using a glue gun, and use it to strengthen the internal joints.
Having finished with the base, you can do the most interesting thing - pasting the resulting blank with candies. Before this, the cardboard should be decorated with thin corrugated paper and attach sweet products in wrappers directly to it.
The tank tracks are best made from round candy bars. If you take candies in a traditional wrapper with tails, then it is better to glue the protruding parts of the candy wrappers to the “body” of the candies, which will add neatness to the product. The straight sections, as well as the tower, are laid out from square chocolate bars. You can place a sweet medal at the end of each tank caterpillar - it will look very impressive.
Plastic and polyethylene
A separate and very extensive group of materials for children's creativity consists of plastic utensils - all kinds of bottles, disposable plates, etc. There are no limits to the flight of imagination! Disposable plates- an excellent material for creating toys, carnival masks, small wall panels for decorating the walls of a children's room.
Hard plastic in combination with softer material (for example, plastic bags) will give many ideas for original flower buds, figurines of birds and animals. Here you can use foil and much more. If you are already tired of the flowers, each bottle can be transformed into any figurine you like - a penguin, a frog, a pig or a funny bug.
Working with plastic on their own is still a bit difficult for kids, and will require unobtrusive help from an adult. You should be especially careful when cutting products made from it using scissors. But original craft or beautiful decor As a result of the work done, they can inspire any achievement.
Other "chips"
Don't forget about materials like salty dough or the usual plasticine. You can experiment with the technique of drawing on sand, which can be replaced with semolina, painted in different colors. Wonderful fantasy paintings can be obtained using typesetting techniques using ordinary pencil shavings.
In the end you can just print paper templates, downloaded on the Internet, of which an incredible amount is now offered for every taste, and glue together funny toys with the kids.
You can play, fantasize and create using food products - buckwheat, pasta (preferably large and curly) and much, much more. Try it, don’t be afraid to experiment and you will see for yourself how much joy such joint activities, and how the imagination of children awakens before our eyes.

Every autumn, kindergartens announce competitions for the best autumn craft. Usually, nature itself suggests ideas for implementation: curved driftwood can easily be imagined as snakes and dragons, acorns, chestnuts and pine cones can be used to make any kind of people and animals, leaves naturally suggest subjects for appliqués. But if you don’t have time to fantasize, but want to make an autumn craft with your child for kindergarten with your own hands, Active Mom did her best for you and created a selection of interesting ideas.
Crafts from acorns and chestnuts
Perhaps the most popular natural autumn material- Take acorns and chestnuts, of which there are plenty in every park at this time - I don’t want them. But we want it! And we return from our walk, carrying bags with these treasures in our hands.
Acorns and chestnuts make excellent topiaries. To make this decorative tree, crumple the paper into a ball, wrap it with thread and cover it with white napkins/paper towels. The “trunk” of the tree will be a strong, even branch that needs to be wrapped with twine, tape or corrugated paper. Any container can be used as a pot, the main thing is that the tree stands firmly in it.
But, of course, most of all children love to make little men, animals and birds out of acorns and chestnuts, because this a great opportunity smoothly transform creativity into play.
These charming owls are made from chestnuts, acorn caps, paws, wings, beaks cut out of felt and doll eyes glued on.
As additional material Matches (toothpicks), plasticine, maple and ash fruits (for wings, ears, tails) are also required. Such autumn crafts for kindergarten it is easy and simple to do even with a three-year-old child:
But this is not just a craft, but a real composition.
Door wreaths made of chestnuts and acorns look great. If animals seem too “childish” to you and you want to make not a toy, but a decorative element with a preschooler from an older group, this is your option. The base of the wreath is an intertwined vine. Moment glue or liquid nails are used to attach acorns and chestnuts.
Candlesticks made using natural materials look stylish. It's very easy to make them.
Crafts from pine cones
Cones are the second most popular natural material in autumn. The pine cones make impressive baskets and vases that can be filled with autumn gifts nature: apples, grapes, mushrooms, twigs with rowan, rose hips, sea buckthorn. To make a vase you will need wire, fishing line, and pliers.
And look how charming the flowers made from pine cones are when you paint them! Admit it, you didn’t immediately realize that these were bumps?
Well, where would a kindergarten be without a variety of lush animals and birds?
Autumn crafts from vegetables and fruits
When creating compositions for kindergarten, you can actively use vegetables and fruits that autumn is rich in.
The most popular vegetable for creating crafts is, of course, pumpkin. You can use it to make a flower vase or autumn leaves, basket for vegetables.
Or you can use it as a blank for creating an animal or a bird...
...or even such a madam.
You can build a ship like this from a pumpkin:
