You know, I love to tie. Knitting according to patterns is not mine since I got children, you get too distracted, and then remember which row you knitted. But to tie something - it's relaxation. You sit for yourself, do not think about the number of loops and rows and knit, simultaneously solving various problems in your head, for example, what to cook today, or coming up with new ideas. Well, in general, the head is free.
This time I decided to take a little break from sewing and knit. And I don’t understand, either I began to knit faster, or the time flew by so quickly that I didn’t even notice (this is old age :)), but I tied it in one fell swoop.
I'll show you what's inside below. Knitted from iris, crochet No. 1.1. They rattle nicely. Juicy ones came out.)

In every family where a child is allowed sweets, a large number of eggs from Kinder surprises periodically accumulate. Most often, during mom's cleaning raids on toys, they are thrown out. But do not rush to throw them away, because together with your child you can make many interesting crafts from kinder surprise eggs.
What can be done from kinders?
Everything depends on your skills. If you are friends with a crochet, then you can make funny crafts tied with colored threads from Kinder boxes.
1. Original developing caterpillar.
2. A bee - a keychain, an alien or a whole mischievous collection of animals - all these toys can be made from a kinder with your own hands, just by fantasizing and tying the eggs with a thread.
These creative options are more suitable for adults. Now we offer you ideas for working with your child.
1.gold fish.
Necessary:
- egg from under the kinder;
- thin ribbon (which is used when making gifts) pink and gold;
- 2 beads for the tail, gold is best;
- eyes (you can buy ready-made or do it yourself);
- braid with sequins;
- back decoration;
- glue;
- fishing line;
- needle, thimble.
Let's get to work:
- from a golden ribbon we make a twisted beautiful ponytail;
- we make a hole at one end of the testicle, thread a tail into it, fixed with a fishing line, and fix everything on both sides with beads;
- we glue our fish with braid;
- when the glue dries, and the braid will not “ride” over the testicle, you can start decorating: eyes, decoration on the back, nose cut out of pink ribbon;
- now it remains only to attach the fishing line to the decoration on the back of the fish.
That's it, the craft from under the kinder "goldfish" is ready.
2. Chick.
Necessary:
- a yellow egg from under the Kinder;
- ribbon for decorating gifts, for a beak and a bow;
- 3 beads for fixing the inside of the legs and fishing line;
- 2 large sequins for legs;
- eyes;
- yellow sequins for wings;
- candy mold in boxes;
- fishing line and yellow thin wire;
- needle, thimble;
- glue.
Let's get to work:
- on the bottom half of the egg we pierce two holes for the legs, for the wings we make two holes on each side, at the top we make a hole for the fishing line;
- we make the legs: we pass the wire through one hole, put on the sequin-foot and finely twist the wire. From the inside we fix everything with a large bead. Similarly, we make the second leg;
- cut out wings from a candy mold and attach them with wire to the sides of the testicle;
- using glue, decorate the wings with sequins,
- we thread the fishing line from above, string a bow of ribbons on it and fix everything with the last bead;
- make a nose and glue the eyes.
That's it, the chicken is ready.
3. If you do not want to let your child work with glue or a needle, then we can suggest that you try to make children's crafts from kinder, covered with plasticine. What can be done?
To get to know this type of creativity better, start simple. WITH cactus, For example. 
then you can make things a little more difficult by doing pig or fish.
Kinder crafts are relevant in our time, since in every house where there are small children, there are probably many such containers from chocolate eggs. Many useful things can be made from them. Many housewives keep useful things in such mini-caskets: they can be beads, small buttons, beads, etc. Kinder can be used in another way.
For the little ones
A small child will not always help in making crafts from kinder eggs, but it is for him that you can make an original toy that will save your family budget. A small list of what can be made for kids:
- Montessori rattles.
- Slingbuses.
- Original garlic pendants.
Kinder garden pendant with garlic
Such a suspension will come in handy during epidemics of viral infections. It is known that many microorganisms do not tolerate garlic, so when sending your child to the garden, hang a funny garlic pendant around his neck.
For work you will need:
- kinder egg;
- scissors, awl, needle and thread for work;
- cord, it can be colored, if there is none, then a thin ribbon will do;
- accessories for decorating pendants.
With an awl, pierce the Kinder Surprise box in different places. From above, thread a colored lace or ribbon through the holes. A clove of garlic is placed inside the box.
Advice! To decorate the craft, thread the thread at the bottom, on which beads or other beautiful little things are strung.
Every morning before going to the garden, do not forget to change the garlic in the container.
Slingbuses
Slingobuses are made from yarn and kinder surprises with their own hands, original and safe rattles are made.
Prepare the following tools for work:
- multi-colored threads and a crochet hook;
- several boxes from Kinder;
- cord, thin ribbon or other dense thread;
- awl, needle with scissors;
- small stones, cereals, peas, beads.
Fill containers with small items. The first can contain rice, the second can contain small stones, the third can contain beads, peas, etc. The number of boxes will depend on the purpose of the toy. If you intend to hang slingobuses on the stroller, then make a lot of links. If the child will play with them, then you can make smaller rattles.
Holes are made on both sides of the box to thread the lace. Now each container is tied so that the child cannot open it.
Locomotive of tied kinder surprises
This is one of the variants of the slingbus, only in the form of a train. The technique of creation is the same: containers are filled with cereals, beads, nuts, pebbles. A whistle is sewn into the locomotive with the help of reinforced threads. After that, each part is tied with colored threads. Buttons are sewn to the trailers as wheels. The child will really like this toy, as you can whistle into it. By the age of 2, using such a train, you can already begin to learn colors.
You can even make a train out of a Kinder container Crafts for kindergarten children
When the child is older, he can already take part in making funny things from kinder surprise with his own hands:
- From plasticine and kinder eggs. Offer to make your favorite minions from the animated series. Prepare a picture of this cartoon character and use plasticine to make pants, eyes, etc. using it. According to the same scheme, a bee, a frog, a dog, a cockerel or a hen, a chicken and other characters are made from Kinder.
- Invite your child to make a fish out of Kinder and colored wrappers. Make a hole yourself in the upper part of the container and thread a loop, for which you can then hang the fish on a Christmas tree or just on the wall for beauty. A hole is made in the tail section, where a shiny candy wrapper is inserted and the tail of the fish is formed. The fins are made from the same candy wrapper, they are attached at the junction of the two parts of the box from the kinder. The eyes are cut out of shiny paper in the form of a circle, a smaller black circle is glued in the middle. These parts are attached to the body of the fish with glue.
- Children are happy to make massagers. You can invite your child to make it. To do this, several packages from the kinder are connected with a strong rope. Make holes on both sides of the container and thread a thick thread or cord. Get a kind of beads. Now on both sides you need to attach handles from large plastic bottles, an old jump rope or from a toilet paper sleeve.
A large kinder egg craft can be created in the form of a double massager.
Devices for work:
- kinder boxes (even number from 14 to 20 pieces);
- fishing line or other strong but thin rope;
- tape or other material suitable for handles;
- scissors;
- awl or knife with a sharp end.
Kinder massagers are often made in kindergartens On a note! All kinder containers must be the same size. They will serve as massage rollers in the future.
Make a hole on both sides in the center of the kinder. Thread a fishing line or other strong thread so that the boxes can rotate.
On both sides, it is necessary to attach handles made of durable lace or ribbon. 2 rows are made from containers from kinder surprises, the thread is connected crosswise. When the design is ready, you should pass the second handle.
Funny little people from eggs from kinder surprises
Such a toy can be made by children of school age. Multi-colored eggplant lids are added to the kinder containers. For work, you will need a strong rope on which containers and lids will be strung. They are pre-drilled with holes. The man's head, feet and hands are made from containers, and the arms and legs themselves are made from corks strung on a thread. The case consists of a kinder surprise capsule.
You can create your own collection of funny little figures of men Naughty gnomes on the Christmas tree
New Year holidays are the best time to use kinder surprises as crafts. Together with your child, you can make Christmas decorations in the form of gnomes. First, make winter hats from multi-colored threads, you can knit them or collect the threads in a bun. The container itself is decorated with a funny face, a cap is put on or better glued on top, which already has a loop for hanging. Christmas tree toy is ready.
Kinder egg goldfish
Such a fish can also be hung on a Christmas tree or used as a pendant in other places.
Kinder goldfish will look very nice Prepare the following material for work:
- Kinder egg;
- ribbons that decorate bouquets, gold and pink;
- three gold beads, they are needed to secure the tail;
- eyes (ready-made or made from beads or buttons);
- golden braid sequins;
- decoration on the back of a fish;
- fishing line, needle, thimble for a child;
- glue gun or regular PVA.
A simpler version of a goldfish from ribbons and kinder Work sequence:
- Pull the golden ribbon over the scissors to make spirals, then fold it so that 4 ends come out.
- A hole is made in the kinder at one end.
- From the inside, a fishing line is passed through the hole, on which the tail and bead are strung, this is done 3-4 times until the tail is ready.
- Now the body of the egg is pasted over with a braid of sequins.
- After the glue dries, the eyes, nose and mouth are glued to the body (pink tape is used on the mouth).
- You can glue another decoration on the upper part of the body, all this is fixed with a fishing line in the form of a hook, and you can hang the toy on the Christmas tree.
Using a kinder surprise for crafts, you give the child the opportunity to dream up. He develops fine motor skills and thinking. In the early stages of his life's journey, the baby is already accustomed to work.
For a couple of years I have been collecting containers from toys in kinder surprises and other souvenir eggs. I wanted to make rattles or development toys out of them, finally I got around to it.
If you pour some cereal (rice, peas, buckwheat, small pasta), salt, dry cherry pits or beans inside a plastic container, provided that you are at least a little friendly with the hook, you will get excellent knitted educational toys. Thundering elements represent a huge scope for the imagination of the baby.
Before manufacturing, be sure to think over all the elements for safety for the baby: there should not be small elements that could be bitten off; eyes, nose, etc. it is better to tie and sew well; containers with fillers for reliability, it is better to fix with glue, etc. and so on.
The toy options presented in the master class are thought out for young children from 0 to 3 years old, so I hope that you will like one of the options.
In detail in this master class, I will tell you how to make a fun rattling developing octopus for your baby.
We will need:
- plastic container from a large souvenir egg,
- remnants of yarn of different colors,
- hook,
- rattling filler,
- awl,
- any glue,
- scissors.
First we need to tie tentacles to our octopus, we will crochet spiral, it will look very nice.
To begin with, we collect a chain of 40 air loops (Fig. 1) ...
1 row - 2 loops in each loop of the previous row.
Row 2 is similar to the first - 2 loops in each loop of the previous row.
This is how it should turn out...
We knit 8 legs like this ...
Now let's start tying the container.
The number of rows will depend on the thinness of the hook and, accordingly, the density of knitting. I have a fairly large knitting, so I knitted 5 rows with the addition of columns.
To do this, we knit a circle, in each row we evenly make 6 increases, according to the scheme.
The circle should be slightly larger in diameter than the bottom of the egg.
Let's take a closer look…
To crochet a circle, in each row we will increase the number of intermediate loops between the addition of columns.
We start by closing two air loops in a circle (Fig. 5).
For knitting in a circle, the initial circle should consist of 6 loops or single crochets.
Threading the hook into the second loop from the hook and knit 6 single crochets (Fig. 6). 
We close the connecting column, which we knit in the first loop of the row.
If you count, now you can see 6 loops formed by single crochets of the first row. We do not take the connecting loop into the calculation.
We make an air lifting loop.
Any knitting of rows in a circle begins and ends exactly the same. At the beginning, lifting loops are necessarily made, and at the end a half-column is knitted from the last column of the row to the first column of the same row, thereby we connect the end and the beginning of the row. This will additionally help you not to get confused in knitting in order to evenly add loops.
Let's move on to the second row...
We knit two single crochets into the first loop of the previous row (! Not into the lifting air loop). So we knit two columns without a crochet in each loop to the end of the row. A total of 12 columns (lifting does not count).
We close with a connecting column into the loop of the first column of the second row and make an air lifting loop.
Single crochet in the first stitch of the row, then two single crochet in the next stitch. We knit alternating to the end of the row - a single crochet in a loop, two single crochets in one loop. A total of 18 columns.
We close the circle with a connecting column and an air lifting loop.
Single crochet in each of the next two stitches and two single crochet in the next stitch. So alternating we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 24 columns.
Single crochet in each of the next three stitches and two single crochet in the next stitch. So alternating we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 30 columns.
Once again, the number of rows will depend on the density of knitting. If necessary, we knit more rows, each time with a new row increasing evenly the number of intermediate loops between the additions of the columns, until you get a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the base of the egg.
We alternate yarn of different shades, knit without increments in a circle to close the "walls" of the container. That is, a single crochet in each column of the previous row, a total of 30 columns.
Here you should not miss the moment to fix the legs and fill the filler.
We make a hole from below with an awl and put all the tails from our spiral legs into it.
I previously connected them in pairs with each other for reliability.
We thread the threads into the hole and make a strong knot, preferably two. 🙂
We fall asleep filler, we pass glue around the perimeter of the egg for a secure fixation and close it.
We continue to knit, closing the walls of the container, 2 rows of each color. I have from 6 to 14 row.
We will reduce gradually, making 6 decreases, but after two rows, until we completely tie the egg.
15 row single crochet in each of the next three loops and one single crochet in two adjacent loops. So alternating, we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 24 columns.
16-17 row we knit in a single crochet in each column of the previous row. There will be a total of 24 columns.
18 row single crochet in each of the next two loops and one single crochet in two adjacent loops. So alternating, we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 18 columns.
19 row we knit in a single crochet in each column of the previous row. There will be a total of 18 columns.
20 row single crochet in the loop of the previous row and one single crochet in two adjacent loops. So alternating, we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 12 columns.
21 rows of single crochet in the loop of the previous row and one single crochet in two adjacent loops. So alternating, we knit to the end of the row. There will be a total of 6 columns.
We tighten the loops, cut off the excess thread, fasten and hide it.
The eyes were knitted separately, then fixed with hot glue. The spout was knitted in place, first 2 loops in each in a circle, increasing the number of loops, then also evenly reducing.
From small containers of Kinder Surprise eggs, you can make your own hands aboutoriginal developing caterpillar.
For manufacturing, I do not advise using ordinary linen elastic, it will wear out very quickly, it is better to take a round braided elastic.
- we make one hole with an awl, fasten one egg firmly on an elastic band, fill it with filler and tie it with colored yarn;
A small container from a kinder is tied in the same way as a large one, we only reduce the number of rows with the addition of columns. We reduce as symmetrically as we add.
- then we string the second egg, having previously made two holes in it, and also tie it;
- we do this with the number of eggs you need (in some of them you can put cereal or beads so that the toy is not silent, but makes various noises);
- make a muzzle and antenna horns (horns from the same dense elastic band, with large wooden beads attached to them, everything is tied with a continuous thread).
From simpler toys, with imagination and patience, you can move on to more complex ones, for example, to make giraffe from Kinder Surprise containers and two large souvenir eggs.
Or cheerful bright elephants from plastic containers from souvenir eggs. The trunk and head are made of foam rubber.
Fantasize!
With the help of such toys, you can not only develop the child's imagination, but also learn colors and learn counting in the future.
If your child already knows how to draw or do independent crafts, invite him to come up with his own funny toy.
For older children, you can make a trap toy for outdoor games from an ordinary plastic bottle and a Kinder Surprise container.
Jewelry from foamiran, all sharp edges are closed by him. Fixed with hot glue.
I hope you enjoy my options, however, I am sure that you will definitely come up with something of your own!
Create with pleasure!
I was glad to help!
Do not rush to throw away plastic capsules from chocolate eggs. They may have a new purpose - they will become an excellent and very cute box for storing headphones, bracelets and any other small items.
To work, you will need the capsule itself, bright nail polish, permanent (non-washable marker) or acrylic paint, super glue, white nail polish or a special white gel pen, green foamiran sheets if desired.
One option for decorating the capsule is to paint the top with colored varnish. Lacquer is best applied in several layers gradually.
Take black colored paper, or draw the surface of a white sheet with a black felt-tip pen. Using a hole punch or by hand, cut out two circles of the same size. For convenience, you can circle the bottom of the pen or felt-tip pen or use curly patterns on the ruler in the form of circles (if any).
Glue the circles on the capsule.
Draw a small mouth with a black permanent marker.
Using a special gel pen or toothpick and white hairspray, draw white highlights and white circles under the eyes.
The basic version of the cute capsule will be ready. But you can go further and turn the capsule into a small berry or other fruit.
The author of the video uses a foamiran sheet as green details. These parts are also glued on.
In order for the eyes to hold, they need to be covered with decoupage agent or clear varnish. In such boxes it is convenient to hold various small items. You can fold the headphones so they don't get tangled up in your bag. It is better not to store something edible, as varnish or glue could get inside.
