Toy “capitoshka” with your own hands is done very simply. At the same time, global material costs or any unusual materials are not required. But how much joy the child will receive, especially if he took part in the creation of this funny little thing!
To create a “capitals” with our own hands, we need an ordinary balloon. It’s better not to save money and get more durable. Otherwise, in the end, the entire "filling" will be scattered on furniture and carpets. You can also use not one, but two balls for greater strength. You just have to put one into the other. Next, you need to insert the usual kitchen funnel inside. But since her neck is narrow enough, it can be inconvenient to work with her. Therefore, "capitals" with their own hands can be done using an ordinary plastic bottle. To do this, cut the bottom, and pull the “tail” of the ball over the neck. Now our task is to fill the future toy. To do this, you can use flour, starch, talc or sand. It all depends entirely on your wishes and the age of the child. After all, if the ball breaks, and the baby is still very small, he will surely taste the contents. So, creating “capitals” with our own hands, we fill the workpiece, for example, with flour, carefully ramming it. The quantity depends on the desired size of the toy.
When this stage is completed, you need to tie the “tail” of the ball, and cut off the excess (if desired). Now we proceed to the "finishing" work. We draw eyes, a nose, a smile. Although all this can be cut out of colored paper and pasted.
On the other hand, it’s better to simplify your task and get balls with already painted faces. If the face of the toy is ready, it's time to think about the hairstyle. It is built from woolen threads, New Year's rain, you can braid pigtails, collect a tail or leave your hair loose.
So the toy "capitoshka" is ready. The photo shows what various forms you can give it. This is an excellent simulator for the development of fine motor skills of babies, and for adults is an excellent tool for relieving stress.
However, the method described above is not the only way to create a “capitals” with your own hands. Those who know how to hold the needle in their hands can sew a funny “buddy” for their child. No special skills needed. To do this, you need a piece of round burlap. It must be collected on a thread so that a bag is obtained. As a filler, foam rubber, sintepon or holofiber can be used. Or take non-standard materials: leaves, grass, flowers, cereals. Depending on the filler, the Kapitoshka will have different functions: an ordinary toy, an aromatic anti-stress souvenir or a simulator for fine motor skills. On the bag we embroider the eyes, mouth and nose. Now it's the turn of the arms and legs. They are made from corks from wine bottles. First you need to make holes in them. Ropes are pulled through the pouch and then threaded into corks and secured with knots. The top of the “cap” can be decorated with a rope, on which you need to make a loop so that the souvenir can be hung.
Such funny toys will be a great gift not only for children but also for adults.
