Golden bird
Using the technology described above, you can make almost any existing or fictional animal. And if the parents themselves do not know what can be made, they can talk with the child, discussing what he would like to do with his own hands. Perhaps it will be a squirrel, a kitty, a mouse, a Christmas tree, a meadow with flowers, or something else more interesting and original. And having already chosen a theme for creativity, it will be possible to figure out how to bring the idea to life.
For example, if the baby wants to make the “Bird” crafts out of natural material, he and his mom and dad will need to prepare the following materials:
- acorn;
- cone ate;
- three maple seeds;
- a piece of thin wire;

Painting "Autumn Time"
The next article, which we will consider in the article, will be interesting to complete for older children. Although even the kids will cope with it, if their parents come to their aid.

- Then open a jar of mascara and “arm” with a brush.
- Gently dip the brush in black liquid, bring to paper and make a blot at the bottom of the sheet.
- Then, for a long time immediately, take a straw and blow through it into a blot, moving the liquid to the top of the sheet.
- It will sprawl, depicting bizarre lines that will strongly resemble the trunk and branches of a tree. But this is exactly what we tried to achieve!
- Now we turn the sheet so that it lies in front of us in a horizontal position.
- Dip the brush again into the ink and make a blot almost from the edge of the paper (from the wide side of the sheet).
- We take the straws and “drive” the black liquid to the other side of the picture.
- When the above steps are completed, you should leave the craft to dry. About one and a half to two hours will be enough for this.
- After the necessary time, we again return to work on the craft.
- We take the prepared leaves and cut them into small pieces.
- Lubricate the branches of the painted tree with glue.
- And generously sprinkle them with leaves, imitating the yellowed autumn crown.
- Then leave the product to dry for three to four hours.
- And then, with a slight movement, we shake off the non-stick pieces of leaves and boast of the original crafts made with our child.
Painting "Wise Owls"
If parents can’t come up with an original craft from natural materials, fairy tales will become the best assistant who will tell you the most interesting and simple answers. For example, for crafts with older children, you can take various plots as a basis and make a funny picture or a real masterpiece from them. And younger children will gladly perform some kind of animal from their favorite fairy tale. Therefore, parents can take any fabulous character and think about how to build it from natural materials.

- several pairs of leaves from different trees, differing from each other in size;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- compass - if necessary;

- From the yellow sheet we cut out one big circle. This will be the body of the first owl.
- From green - two middle ones. These are the eyes.
- And from black - two very small ones. They are needed for the image of the pupils.
- Also, from a colored paper of black color, we need to cut a small triangle. It will be the beak of our wise owl.
- Having prepared the necessary details, we proceed to gluing the crafts.
- On a yellow circle we attach two small dried leaves. Thus, our bird has ears.
- We glue two green circles on them, marking the eyes.
- Add black pupils and nose. After the above actions, our owl seems to come to life.
- Then we attach two large dried leaves to the yellow mug. These are the wings.
- And from its back side we glue two more of the same leaves, imitating a tail.
- According to the described instructions, we carry out an identical natural craft from natural material. As a result, two wise owls lie before us.
- Now we take a blue sheet of colored paper and glue the prepared twig onto it.
- Leave the application to dry. This will take about one and a half to two hours.
- Finally, attach in the upper left and lower right corners of the owls. Photos of the finished version can be seen after the instructions.
