On the eve of the New Year holidays, in the preschool institutions, together with the educators and teachers of additional education, the children perform paper napkin crafts. This inexpensive material for creativity is very suitable for decorating the premises for this event. Almost each of us observed snowflakes cut out of paper, located on the windows of the kindergarten.
Remembering the pre-school and school pores, many will talk about how they carefully and carefully created crafts from paper napkins. This technique, conquered by its simplicity of teachers and parents, does not lose its popularity today. To create their first masterpieces, children need only a couple of napkins, scissors and skillful pens. Folding the material in a certain way, giving vent to imagination, children create openwork crafts that are not ashamed to show to parents. Coming from kindergarten, the kids ask their dads and mothers to give them a few of these square leaflets in order to demonstrate the acquired skills.
Crafts from paper napkins are not only snowflakes. Thanks to their creativity, people have learned to create flowers from them, to lay out various patterns. There are many techniques by which this household item gets a second life. For example, taking multi-colored napkins, carefully twisting them into a ball, they prepare the material for subsequent fixing on sticky paper - this is how various pictures turn out. In this matter, the help of the child will not be superfluous - when the fingers work while folding the balls, fine motor skills of the hands develop. The kid himself can come up with a story of paper napkin crafts. On the panel it is advisable to draw the contours of the characters and heroes loved by the child, then lay out the folded colored balls, slightly pressing them to the sticky layer. When laying, do not allow large distances, otherwise the picture will be fuzzy, incomprehensible. You can also attract a child to this work, who is likely to like this occupation, because he will participate in the creation of his beloved hero, and how the character will end up will depend entirely on his efforts.
It is also worth mentioning souvenirs that can be made together with a son or daughter. An interesting occupation may be the manufacture of
napkins from beads, the schemes of which can be either independently invented or ready-made. Such work will appeal to girls more. Little needlewomen will help in creating openwork weaving, with pleasure they will pick up the color scheme of the future product. Do not be afraid to give a needle to a preschool child. Of course, the work should be carried out under the strict guidance of an adult, and it’s not out of place to indicate age limits: you can do such needlework from the age of five, or even six, it all depends on the personal qualities of the craftswoman.
Do-it-yourself napkins can be knitted using a hook or knitting needles. The decor of finished products is also not prohibited: embroidery, edging, drawing a pattern from a thermal mosaic. The main thing is that this activity brings joy to both you and your children!
