Any parent seeks to invest maximum benefit in their communication with the child. Making crafts from it with small items will not only captivate the baby, but also this lesson helps strengthen children's hands and develop fine motor skills.
Mom in the kitchen will always find all sorts of grains and cereals. Therefore, crafts from cereals and seeds with their own hands will be a great entertainment for the child and salvation for the parents. How to make them? We will tell you now.
Herringbone
Acquaintance with this fascinating lesson can be started with a simple craft of pumpkin seeds. Herringbone is done quite easily. For work, a lid from a bucket, a rod from a handle and plasticine are suitable. First you need to prepare the "ground". To do this, gently and evenly smear clay on the surface of the lid. Now you need to make the barrel. To do this, glue a small ball of plasticine on the middle of the lid, fix the rod in it and apply plasticine to it in layers. Next, the barrel needs to be improved a bit. We glue the prepared base in a circle with thin strips and begin to attach the needle-seeds from below. We glue in a checkerboard pattern, slightly lowering the needles down. Everything, the Christmas tree is ready. It remains only to paint the seeds in green.
Bouquet
What else can you make crafts from pumpkin seeds with your own hands? For example, a bouquet of flowers. To make such a craft, you need to take seeds, glue, a leaf pattern, scissors, a circle pattern, dry twigs, burlap. Having cut a circle with a diameter of six centimeters from the cardboard, glue the gourd seeds on the edge with the tip outward. When the first row is ready, we do the second, third and fourth. We do not glue the middle, in the center we make a small hole and decorate with peas. Then, turning the blank over, just glue a row of seeds on the other side. After we close it with a circle from a pre-cut coarse burlap. A dry twig will be a stalk, which must be decorated with leaves cut from the same burlap. Several flowers made in this way will make up a beautiful bouquet.
Petals in plants can be glued in three different ways. The first option is described above. In the second, seeds are arranged with a circular end out. And in the third version, the combination is this: the first three rows are glued with a point outward, and then vice versa, point inward. Each time the flower will take on an unusual shape.
Fruit plate
Crafts from cereals and seeds with their own hands will be the original decoration of the room. Here is an example of such a product - a plate with a pattern of cucumber and apple seeds. On a disposable paper plate we apply a drawing with large details, for example, the outline of a goose. We apply glue, starting from the tail, and gently glue the seeds. The wing pattern is made from apple seeds. We reach the head. Beak and paws are spread with seeds, previously painted red. It remains to make a background. To do this, we smear the plate with glue and sprinkle with semolina painted with gouache, laying out the desired pattern. Such a product will be a wonderful decoration.
"Owl"
Crafts from pumpkin seeds with your own hands can become a real masterpiece if you combine paints, fabric and other improvised means in one work. An example of this is the Owl applique. To work, you need to prepare the following materials: wooden frame, fabric, cardboard, pumpkin seeds, twigs, paints, glue, plasticine, toothpicks, brush. Now you can begin to do the work. We pull the fabric onto the cardboard and insert it into the frame. Using glue, we attach several branches, imitating a tree branch. On one we lay out the figure of an owl, attach the eyes and beak.
Glue the pumpkin seeds separately on the remaining branches , placing them like leaves. Glue three seeds below the branch on which the owl sits: they will be the tail. Add black plasticine to the paws: these will be claws. Now it remains only to decorate the application. Color the owl feathers in white , the beak in orange. We paint seeds-leaves in green color. And now the owl is ready. Such a picture can decorate a nursery.
