In kindergarten and elementary school, much attention is paid to teaching children the rules of the road. Classes and lessons are planned on this topic. In each kindergarten, in every group, there is always a road corner where children in a playful way get acquainted with traffic signals, markings on the road, the most common road signs and street crossing rules.
Events are also held for children on this topic with the invitation of road workers or artists. Often organize a contest "Road through the eyes of children." Crafts are made either in the garden with a tutor, or a home assignment is given. Parents are also involved in joint activities. This article will help moms and dads find interesting ideas for such a contest.
Traffic light manufacturing
The very first thing that children learn about traffic rules is the meaning of traffic signals and their proper location. Even in the younger group, kids consolidate knowledge in the classroom for fine arts. By drawing circles of the desired color or making an appliqué on a black rectangle, children consolidate their knowledge. To start work for the contest "Road through the eyes of children" with the traffic light crafts will be the right decision.
Such work needs to be put at the crossroads of the "road", so you need a leg and stand. This can be done simply from cardboard, but it is more interesting to take an old felt-tip pen, remove the core and insert it with one side into the matchbox, and glue the other to the square of the cardboard on PVA glue.
All details of the construction must be glued with colored paper, and on the matchbox, arrange the circles of different colors of the traffic light in the correct order . At the same time, the child will repeat their location. Red is always on top, yellow is in the middle, green is at the bottom. Tell your baby why the lights are placed in this way. After all, not all people distinguish colors. Some are oriented only by spatial location. They know that since the overhead light comes on, you need to stand still. Lower - you can go.
Paper typewriter
The next option for "Road through the eyes of children" - do-it-yourself hand-made paper and cardboard cars . The cardboard cylinder remaining after using toilet paper must be glued with colored paper. Cut 4 wheels from black cardboard and attach two in front and back. In the middle of the machine, cut a hole for the driver by making an incision in the shape of the letter "H". Having bent part of the cardboard back, we get a driver's chair, we cut the curved part forward with scissors in the shape of a circle. Having painted it or making an application, we get a steering wheel.
Small car parts are made of colored paper. The photo shows a racing car, but you can just make a few cars of various colors and place them on different sections of the "Road through the eyes of children." Crafts of cars can be various. If you are planning a large road, you can make bigger cars. Description follows.
Plastic cars
For the manufacture of machines, various waste material is suitable . These are polystyrene foam and wooden blocks, matchboxes and matches themselves, kinder surprise boxes and cardboard packaging for eggs. Now we will talk about the use of used plastic cans and bottles for work.
The photo shows cars for the contest "Road through the eyes of children." Crafts from plastic bottles are often used to make some figurines. For the presented products, you need to take the used plastic packaging from the gel for washing clothes. Only the jar must first be washed thoroughly so that no chemical agent remains.
With the help of an awl, holes are made for wheels made of traffic jams. You can just put them on PVA glue. But then the car will not go. In order for the car to be mobile, you will have to find either old wheels from another broken machine, or pick up a rod for wheels from waste material. It can be wooden sticks, metal rods, a felt-tip pen, a pencil, etc. To decorate crafts in the form of such machines for the "Road through the Eyes of Children" contest, you need to use self-adhesive in different colors or, in extreme cases, use colored paper and scotch tape.
Houses
All children understand that houses are located along each road. So, if a child wants to make a house, then such products are quite suitable for this topic.
Moreover, it is very easy to make DIY do-it-yourself crafts in the form of multi-story buildings for the "Road through the Eyes of Children". It is only necessary to have a package of milk, glue it with colored paper and paint it by making windows, a roof and a door.
Having familiarized themselves with the material of the article, parents will be able to help the child choose the necessary material for the contest "The Road Through the Eyes of Children" (for crafts). How to make them is described in detail. You can come up with something of your own, based on the options you've seen.
