Conversations, modeling situations, coloring thematic pictures and making crafts - all these activities can turn the process of familiarizing a child with traffic rules in an exciting and
interesting game. In this article, we will tell all mothers and fathers how to teach a baby to do the Traffic Light crafts with their own hands. Here you are offered two workshops on how to make this attribute from colored paper and waste material.
Application "Traffic Light"
We will make equipment for developing and outdoor games on the topic of traffic rules from paper with our own hands.
In the process of making crafts, we need the following materials:
- white and colored paper;
- a sheet of black cardboard;
- pencil;
- ruler:
- scissors;
- office glue or PVA;
- napkin;
- a compass or any round object.
How to make a traffic light with your own hands? Process description
- From white paper, complete the product template.
- Transfer it to black cardboard and cut the workpiece. This will be the basis of the traffic light.
- On circles of red, green, and yellow, draw circles. Cut them along the contour. From black paper, make three exactly the same sized mugs.
- Glue each color detail with the dark. Wipe off excess glue with a cloth.
- Bend the “traffic lights” in half.
- Apply glue to only one (lower) half of the parts and attach them to the cardboard base in the right places.
This traffic light with your own hands can be made voluminous. Just stick it on a rectangular box and place it on a table or floor.
We make an attribute for games from improvised means
You can make an original traffic light with your own hands from the materials that are in every home. What exactly do we need? In our work, plastic cups for yogurt (3 pieces) and a foam plastic suitcase of a rectangular shape are useful to us. You can find one in every supermarket. They pack semi-finished products, meat, sweets. In addition, you need glue or a thermal gun and colored paper.
Wrap the cups with green, red and yellow paper, glue it at the junction of the edges. By the way, the Rastishka yogurt is produced in series in colored containers. If you manage to pick them up and purchase, then you will not need to paste over the details. Attach the “signals” to the foam base. To make the product stable, you can stick it on a cardboard box from under shoes or other goods. So quickly and simply from the materials that are usually thrown into the trash, you can make an interesting and necessary attribute for games with your children.
Do-it-yourself “Traffic Light” crafts (photo confirmation of this) can be made from other materials. The main thing in this matter is that it is safe for the child. Imagine, create, and let the process of familiarizing yourself with the rules of the road for your kids be interesting and exciting.
