Very soon there will come a bright spring holiday - International Women's Day. Sons, husbands, classmates, grandfathers and friends will give gifts to their friends and relatives. This article will consider the options for gifts to mom on March 8 with their own hands.
Best DIY Gift
A box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers is, of course, nice. But any mother will be much happier if her child presents her with something done independently. Hand-made allows you to invest part of the soul, give a piece of warmth and care for a loved one. Any mother will be glad that she took the time and tried for her sake. This is the best thanks from the child. Below are examples of gifts that a child from six years old can make without much effort. Gifts for March 8, created by children’s hands, look very cute and touching!
Postcard
Greeting cards are a real space for creativity. Making them easy, fun, and once the children begin to create, it will be difficult to stop them. Such creative activities have enormous advantages: they give children a constructive start to work and devote a lot of time to it, to think about the recipient of the card. They can be complex or simple as you like. For a postcard you will need:
- cardboard or other thick paper;
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- white PVA glue;
- colored crayons, felt-tip pens and pencils.
We start to create:
- Cut a piece of cardboard of the right size, give it the desired shape: heart, star, circle, or leave it rectangular.
- Then fold the cardboard in half, cutting out two parallel slots on the fold.
- Fold the slots and glue them.
- Cut out a piece of colored paper a piece of the same shape, identical size or slightly smaller.
- Glue the paper to the cardboard.
- It's time for creativity! Color the card, sign it and draw whatever you want: flowers, hearts or people.
Smaller children can make a gift on March 8 in the form of valentines from colored paper with their own hands. For them it will be easier than creating such an application.
Poem
If a child likes to read and compose stories, he can try writing a holiday poem for his mother. This will be a great gift for March 8 with your own hands, expressing feelings and emotions.
A verse can be quite simple, for example:
Mom I love you,
I will give peace to you
And thank you for everything
I give my feelings!
Congratulations on March 8
And I wish you much happiness
A lot of joy, gifts
And have a long, happy life!
The poem can be written in a postcard, on a blank sheet in beautiful handwriting, or simply tell it by heart. In any case, mom will be very pleased to receive such a manifestation of care and love.
Soft toy
Another wonderful gift for March 8 with children's hands to mom will be a soft toy. It is better to do it under the supervision of adults, since you need to be careful with a needle. The first step is to find a pattern for creating a soft toy. Today we will make a teddy bear.
This method is very easy for young children. The toy is created using very easy-to-use templates. Bears can be made using different fabrics and materials. Your clubfoot can be with very long purple hair, it will be a wonderful creative gift. It’s not necessary to make “normal” teddy bears. A beautiful gift with children's hands for March 8 is what mom will definitely be delighted with.
Materials:
- about 0.5 m of any fabric material (the base of our bear);
- cotton wool;
- needle;
- a thread;
- Buttons, beads and eyes for decoration.
Work sequence:
- Print a bear template or cut out randomly from cardboard. You can use a box of juice or ready-made cereal for breakfast. Place the cardboard template on the wrong side of the fabric, circle it and cut it, taking a stock of 1-1.5 cm. Do this two times to get the front and back of the bear.
- Sew 2 pieces together, leaving a small space for stuffing the bear.
- Turn the fabric inside out. You can use a spoon or pencil to push out the limbs of the bear.
- Fill the blank with cotton, balls or padding polyester, then sew the gap.
- For the bear’s eyes, you can use a pair of buttons or special eyes on the buttons, but you can make them a thread. You can embroider your nose with a thread in the shape of a triangle, oval or circle, or you can buy it ready in a sewing store made of plastic or metal. Decorate the bear with ribbons, a scarf or toy clothes.
An excellent gift for mom on March 8 made by yourself!
Sweet gift
If your mother is a sweet tooth, you can make her a real candy masterpiece - there are no boundaries for creativity. You can make a cake out of lollipops and chocolate bars or take a cardboard box, glue it with sweets, and put a card inside. Here is one example of sweet craft gifts.
Materials:
- long chocolate bars (Twix or nut sticks);
- chocolate dragee M & M's;
- cashew nuts;
- almond;
- cookies ("Anniversary" or other rectangular shape);
- Skittles;
- chocolate rice balls;
- chocolate buttons.
Such a gift should be given under the supervision of adults, since open fire is used here.
Cooking:
- Take a flat wide plate on which our candy cake will stand. Place a narrower, deeper cup upside down or a high-walled cardboard oval to give it a round shape.
- Light the candle and take the chocolate bars. Melting them on the sides, connect and put around the form. When solidified, a hollow chocolate cake should be obtained.
- Wait until the cake has cooled down and everything sticks together, pull out a plate or cardboard without touching the chocolate.
- Form triangles from cookies, place them on a cake and fasten with melted chocolate.
- Pour the filling into each triangle: Skittles, M & M's, nuts, buttons, and rice balls. Each compartment must have a separate filling.
- Decorate the cake by bandaging it with a wide ribbon.
Such a cake will look unusual and very beautiful on the festive table, you can add it with a postcard or candles. Making a gift for March 8 with your own hands is not at all difficult - it is much more difficult not to eat it before delivery.
Video clip
There is an even more creative option for congratulations. You can make a gift from a photo on March 8 with your own hands, but it will be even more creative to record a congratulatory video.
- Think over the script. Write down what will happen in every second of the video, as it’s difficult to keep in mind every detailed step.
- Connect your loved ones. Let dad, grandfather, brothers and friends say something nice to women on their holiday.
- Add music. There are very simple and intuitive programs on your computer where you can download your video and add background music to it. It will be very symbolic to impose a song from a cartoon about a mammoth or another composition about mom. This is very moving.
- Express your feelings. Feel free to talk about how you love mom - she will be very pleased to hear that.
- Sing a song or recite a self-composed verse. Creativity is always rewarded according to merit.
You can also insert a photo collage, accompanying it with your mom’s favorite music. The collage may include your shared photos with a joint rest, selfie and funny moments. A gift was made to mom on March 8 with her own hands - modern, unusual and very pleasant.
Funny coupons
Another unusual and funny gift will be a set of coupons. Take colored paper, cut strips of the same color and write on them with colored pencils the “services” that you will do for your mom when presenting the coupon. Services can be very different:
- floor cleaning coupon;
- for cleaning toys;
- on washing dishes after dinner;
- to read your favorite children's book;
- to get five at school.
Here, the soul can also take a walk - there are a lot of options, from funny to serious and very useful. Make a little book with tear-off coupons or put them in a beautiful jar, from which mom can pull out at random and provide you. If you can’t do it yourself with a gift on March 8, just turn on the fantasy!
Plasticine Craft
The smallest can please mom with crafts made of plasticine or clay. Here you can do anything you want. But since this is a gift for mom on March 8 with our own hands, we will make a spring flower:
- Blind a few white petals, pressing them with your fingers along the edges to form ellipsoidal shapes.
- If you are sculpting from white clay, pour a few drops of acrylic paint (green for stems and leaflets, brown for core and two other colors to choose from for petals and stamens) in the center of each piece of clay. This should be done with gloves.
- Thoroughly knead the clay with the paint in the center until it becomes a uniform color. Remember to change gloves when working with each new color.
- Take large pieces of freshly painted clay and use your fingers or a knife to form each piece of flower. Use a fork to create a realistic center for each of the petals. Then unfold the stem for each flower and attach it firmly to the center.
- Using the unpainted end of the fork, push down on each end of the petal, make stamens and let the flower dry completely. Drying time varies greatly depending on the type of clay that you decide to use. All is ready!
Give your love
The best gift of all time will be love and gratitude to your mother, because she gave you life, raised you and loves you with all her heart. Happy holiday dear women!
