It is possible to captivate any child with such a creative activity as creating interesting crafts from various improvised materials.
There are a huge number of ideas on how to make crafts in the garden with your own hands. Such a rather painstaking and fascinating process develops the child's concentration of attention, mental thinking and the acquisition of new experience.
Attending kindergarten, then school, the child develops with the support of educators and teachers, and at home, parents need to find time to work together with their child.
The photo of the crafts in the kindergarten shows the work of children with which they can express themselves.
Spring theme in children's crafts
Spring is probably the most positive time of the year, when nature blossoms and glows from the warm rays of the sun, the birds return, the trees and the first flowers bloom.
A child, unlike an adult, reacts especially impressionably to such changes, so it is in spring that you want to do something new and original.
To implement the ideas of children's creativity, you can use a lot of improvised materials: glue, paints, colored paper, empty plastic bottles, unnecessary boxes, various cereals, threads, ribbons, cones, foliage, etc.
Works can be completely different directions, depending on the material for its manufacture:
Origami in the form of a spring bird
This execution technique provides only for the presence of colored paper and a few primary skills.
What they turn a sheet of plain paper into: flowers, birds, figurines of animals.
Craft "Bird" is quite simple and a young child can handle it. For the spring bird will come in handy:
- branches from a bush on the street;
- scissors;
- colored paper;
- glue - pencil or PVA.
It is necessary to carefully tie a strip cut out of colored paper (which is about 20 cm long and 2-4 cm wide) into a weak knot, so that one side of it is slightly longer than the next.
From one end, you need to cut out the head and beak, and from the other end, the tail. The finished bird needs to be fixed to a tree branch with glue.
Papier-mache style
This technique of work came from Europe and involves applying small pieces of paper to a certain shape, which are mixed with glue. For example: an egg for Easter.
You will need the following materials:
- ball;
- colored corrugated paper;
- used sheets of paper;
- Wheat flour.
For this craft in kindergarten, the first step is to inflate the balloon, then carefully glue the pieces of paper moistened with flour paste on all sides of the balloon. The composition must dry completely within 10 hours.
Note!
Inside the testicle, you can place plasticine birds or other figures of your choice. For Easter holidays, it is worth putting colored chicken eggs in such an egg.
Quilling technique
These are crafts made from paper rolled into a tube. For a picture of a spring lily of the valley, you need to prepare:
- green, blue and white paper;
- thick cardboard;
- glue;
- scissors, tape.
A pair of rectangles are cut out of cardboard, on which the craft will be attached. The contours of the future lily of the valley are drawn on them, then strips of colored paper are twisted using an ordinary toothpick.
The strips are glued along the contour on the cardboard with the corresponding colors (leaves, stem and flowers themselves). A bow is knitted from a ribbon on a flower and a loop is made with it, on which the finished picture will hang.
We decorate the playground in kindergarten
Crafts for the playground in the kindergarten will be an interesting unique decor, to which your child will be happy to make his efforts.
Live pebbles. You need to prepare materials:
- stones;
- acrylic paint;
- coating varnish;
- brushes;
pencil and eraser.
Note!
The simplest option is the shape of a ladybug. Smooth stones of different sizes must first be thoroughly rinsed and dried properly. Then apply the contour of a ladybug on it with a simple pencil and color them with gouache (black, white and red).
To prevent the paint from peeling off, a layer of colorless varnish must be applied to the painted insect. After successfully completed simple work, you can proceed to more complex animal figures.
Plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are the most popular decor for garden crafts. Try to make a palm tree out of used bottles with your child.
A brown plastic container must be cut from the side of the neck (removing the neck itself) in straight strips to the middle, then fasten them together with a hard wire - this will be the trunk of a palm tree.
We choose the height individually. We cut and fasten green bottles in the same way, but there are only three or four pieces, since in the future they will serve as the leaves of the tree, which is also attached to the stem of the bottles with wire.
It is preferable to create natural crafts in the kindergarten in the autumn season, since nature itself provides a huge selection of materials for children's creativity.
Note!
You just have to try to assemble it and turn on a rich imagination, using everything that lies under your feet: branches, dry leaves, cones, acorns.
An interesting wreath on the head will help to make dry maple leaves, fastened with elegant braid and decorated with beads and bows. Or - a cheerful perky caterpillar from a row of acorns with legs made of matches.
The child will definitely like the idea of creating their own original crafts, working on which, moreover, favorably develops motor skills, intelligence and increases mental abilities!

First, draw a sketch with a pencil. We drew a stream, birches, woods and snowdrops. You can add flying birds, a birdhouse, the sun or any other spring attributes as you wish.
Wet a sheet of paper with a wide brush. We draw the sky on a wet sheet with watercolors. Thanks to moisture, it will have a very gentle overflow of color.
We color the stream and grass, forest, birches and flowers. We have a very beautiful spring!
Spring has just arrived in this winter forest. We are met by bare land, the first stream and timid snowdrops.

Spring crafts for kindergarten
We sewed tulips from felt. Difficult, but insanely beautiful)
After the celebration of International Women's Day, we begin to look forward to the bright day of Easter. And this is so joyful, because on the street you can hear drops and the singing of birds, the sun shines brighter and longer. We are looking for.
Meanwhile, parents again have to while away the evenings thinking about homework. During this period, in all kindergartens and schools, he is asked one thing - to make crafts on a spring theme. Usually, they do not specify and do not set frames, so as not to limit the child's, but rather the parent's, flight of fancy.
I am a parent myself and I also need to look for new simple and beautiful ideas every year in order to once again help my child do something original and interesting. Therefore, today I will share my findings in this topic.
Paper and cardboard are one of the easiest materials to create crafts, and therefore kindergartens prefer to take them for creative activities. And this means that you and I can create something simple and.
First of all, we start thinking about what to do. And the symbols of spring come to mind: butterflies, rain, flowers and a rainbow.
For example, such cute butterflies can be created from cardboard and toilet paper rolls. If you choose bright color combinations for them, you will get a very elegant present.
For wings, use this template.
The sleeve must be pasted over with decor. I would rather buy a self-adhesive one for this, it will turn out faster, and it’s more convenient for children to work with it.
We decorate the wings according to our own taste, using cardboard, braid, beads or ribbons. Also here for flowers, felt of bright colors is perfect.
It is better to glue all the details with hot glue, so it will turn out more necessary. But, if you are working with children, then take PVA glue, as the safest and most non-toxic.
I want to offer you a more complex craft. This is a voluminous lawn, which looks very interesting. I remember that in childhood, our generation was very fond of books with a 3D effect, when the pictures became voluminous, at that time I still did not understand at all how such a miracle could be done. Now I know the whole process!
The entire master class is shown in the photo in step-by-step action.
We need to bend the sheet in half and make cuts from the side of the fold, at a distance of 1 centimeter from each other. The length of the incision towards the center decreases to 1 centimeter. Make each cut synchronously in a mirror image of the same size. Start with a length on the sides of 5 centimeters.
Bend inward through one of our slots, so you get the stems for the leaves. Here is the most difficult part completed. Now you can beautifully trim the edges of the sheet and stick on the base.
Start cutting out flowers and leaves. The leaves will need to be bent inward in length to achieve greater realism.
Add butterflies or grass. It turns out a quick, but very original application.
And in the spring, the earth wakes up, the snow melts and worms and butterfly pupae begin to hatch. Let's make a funny paper worm.
It is necessary to make many circles of the same diameter. If you have special stamps, then the whole process will be faster.
To get a lot of circles, you need to take a long strip of the paper you need, measure the width equal to the diameter of the circle and fold the strip into an accordion. Draw an outline and cut patterns along it.
You will get as many circles as the number of times you folded the strip.
Now we will fold each part exactly in half and begin to form the body. To do this, spread the lower part of the circle with glue and glue the next part on it.
And so on until the length of the calf seems to be the most optimal for you.
We fix the muzzle and antennae.
Cute spring suns can be made from toothpicks and sheets of different colors and given to all your girlfriends and friends.
And to make a bouquet for the teacher, forms for sweets and muffins are quite suitable. They are already on sale in different diameters and colors.
Of course, spring is associated not only with rain and sun, but also with a rainbow! How she cheers us up, and how children rejoice at her appearance in heaven. And it's very easy to make it.
You will need two identical parts of the cloud and seven strips of the same width and length, in accordance with the color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple (we memorized their sequence according to the sentence "Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant is sitting" , where the beginning of the word suggests the letter with which the color begins).
When you have glued all the strips, close the wrong side with the second part.
Do you remember when you used to make garlands out of paper rings? Now this is not relevant, children no longer decorate the walls with them for the holiday, but the technique itself has remained. And it will make a great bouquet.
Or a fluffy cloud with rain.
I also really liked the idea of a three-dimensional snowdrop. After all, this is the most long-awaited herald of spring.
You need to take three identical white stripes.
Make a drop out of each by gluing one end of the strip with the opposite one. So the resulting three loops are then connected to each other.
And cover the place of gluing with a semicircle of green paper.
This craft is very simple, preschool children will definitely cope with it. But the strips must be cut in advance so that they are even, because not all children of four or five years old can make a straight line with scissors.
Creative birds from felt to school
Felt is a very popular material. It has many shades, which only attracts needlewomen to it even more. We are already from this material, and today I want to offer you to make cute birds from felt and filament pompoms. They look very dignified, and are made in one hour.
Pompoms are made very simply, I have already described the process of their manufacture. You can wind the thread on the fork, or you can cut out special blanks from cardboard on which you will need to wind the thread.
And from the felt, matched to the tone of the birds, the tail and wings are cut out.
Well, now I invite you to watch the video, where the craftswoman shows in detail the entire process of creating birds.
By the way, you can take absolutely any template for crafts, and it can be the silhouette of any bird.
Original crafts with birds
Of course, with the advent of spring, we meet rooks and swallows. Titmouse begin to sing louder and sparrows chirp. Therefore, cute birds are also considered symbols of spring. Basically, we choose swallows and rooks from them, which “fly to us in the canopy in the spring”.
You can make original mobiles. Make the base from crossed branches. And the birds themselves are made of paper.
By the way, do not forget, because the birds tired of a long flight will want to eat, and you can show the kids an excellent example of caring for our smaller brothers.
See what beauty is obtained using the quilling technique. Spring soft and bright.
You need to attach the birds to the base very well, double-sided tape or hot glue is suitable for this.
Sticks can be painted, or you can leave their natural beauty and wood texture.
In the form of a suspension, a transparent fishing line is used to create the feeling that the birds are hovering and catching air currents.
Cotton clouds can also be replaced with flowers, stars or raindrops. It depends only on your imagination.
How to make a panel from plasticine?
Plasticine perfectly develops the image and motor skills. And motor skills, as you know, help to better master the control of your body and start talking earlier. Therefore, it can be so often seen in the classroom with preschoolers. Either they roll cakes, or they roll flagella. This case is very useful.
See what panel with willows can be made using a few materials at hand.
You will need:
- green cardboard sheet
- soft plasticine in three colors: brown, blue and blue,
- cotton wool,
- pencil.
1. The outlines of a vase and branches are drawn on cardboard.
2. From the plate, the child tears off small parts and rolls them into flagella.
3. With blue flagella, begin to form a vase in a circle so that there are no gaps left.
4. Make the inside of the vase blue to add volume to the craft.
5. Roll up pieces of cotton wool in the form of a capsule, wrap the edges of which with plasticine.
6. We make branches from flagella, at the ends of which we place cotton capsules.
All work is ready, with a four-year-old child, this process took thirty minutes. It all depends on the perseverance of your baby.
Master classes of crafts from natural materials
I was captivated by works made from the most ordinary things. Sometimes, in general, you consider them garbage, but no, you can use them in creativity. In fact, I have always admired people who can see something unusual in simple things and use them for other purposes. Like, for example.
I liked the panel with flowers from egg trays and buttons.
To do this, cut the cells from the tray.
We paint them with gouache from the inside and outside.
Inside, on double-sided tape, hot glue or liquid nails, we fix beautiful buttons of different sizes and colors.
And we form stems from shaggy wire. It is sold in household stores and in departments for creativity. Beautifully connect them with a ribbon.
First, we glue the buds, form a composition of buds, and only then glue the stems, hiding them inside under the flowers.
I also liked the idea of using disposable paper plates as a base.
From them we make both the sun and large flowers, cutting the edges to the middle and painting with paint. In general, there are a lot of ideas.
Of course, do not pass by cute ladybugs made of plastic disposable spoons. The master class below shows how to make them.
Do you have a textile glove at home? Fine! Here is a garden decor idea for you. very cute chicks.
Buttons are now often used in applications. They are produced in an unusually wide range of colors, so you can choose products for any composition.
Of course, there are always grains on hand. Depending on the area of residence, the culture that gives these nuclei is different, but the meaning remains the same.
Put the bird with buckwheat, rice, corn or peas. Let's take a closer look at how to do this.
Let's start with the materials. Take a sheet of cardboard, a thick sheet of paper, which will be the basis. You need PVA glue, scissors and grains.
On cardboard, we schematically draw the shape of a bird and cut it out along the contour.
We glue the part on the base, which is completely smeared with glue.
You will get it as in the photo below.
Now we put the grits on the glue that has not yet dried and check that it does not fall off. It may be necessary to apply a fresh coat of adhesive.
Try to place the nuclei very close to each other so that there are no gaps.
Another idea of working from food. Look at this wonderful pasta panel. They lend themselves perfectly to coloring and fixing A, thanks to the large number of shapes, you can make a lot of interesting crafts out of them.
Continuing with the pasta theme, check out this cute snail with a house made from shell pasta.
You can also create bright butterflies from improvised materials. Napkins or tulle are suitable for wings, but the body is made of decorative tape, which is definitely on sale in all needlework stores.
another craft idea that uses faux fur and paper.
A little higher, I described how to make an application from cereals, and now look at what cute flowers can be formed from pumpkin seeds.
Take a sheet of thick green felt as a basis. Snowdrops from seeds can be painted in different colors: from blue to yellow.
Volumetric spring bouquet of paper
Of course, spring is the time of flowering, the first buds and young leaves. Let's make original bouquets to be filled with the feeling of awakening life from hibernation.
We make such a bouquet from colored double-sided paper. We fold the sheet in half and mark along the entire length of the strip, 1 centimeter wide. You can take any length, but leave about 5-7 centimeters from the opposite edge.
Glue both ends.
We take a sleeve from toilet paper and cut it off from the edge at a distance of 5 - 7 centimeters.
Coat with glue and wrap the resulting grass around the sleeve to the end.
It remains to stick the prepared flowers. You can use pompoms or beads instead to make the bouquet look more unusual.
Another very simple version of the bouquet, which will appeal to preschool children.
the basis is an accordion. How to fold it is shown in the diagram. So, the whole sheet is bent into a fan, and the ends of the sheet are glued together with glue, forming such a semicircular shape.
And now you can start thinking about which buds will decorate your base. Can you cut daisies, tulips or snowdrops? Absolutely any, even a fantasy flower, would be appropriate here.
Snowdrops in origami technique
I have already written a lot in previous articles about this technique and every time I am amazed by the many ideas that people embody in it. For example, what are the very first spring flowers? I think that everyone will answer that these are snowdrops.
So we will make his buds using a simple origami technique.
You will need a square of white and not thick paper, with sides of 5 centimeters. Bend it in half, finding the middle line with this.
Then turn the tip down and the part itself becomes a bit like a trapezoid. And in one direction, which looks at you, bend the edges.
Run the tip of your fingernail along all the folds to secure the paper in that position.
Spring sun crochet
I didn’t think that it was possible to crochet something reminiscent of spring, but as soon as I saw this sun, I realized that this is the real spring craft.
The simplest product is knitted with single crochets. You can knit two identical sides for the same number of loops, and then sew them together. This will be an easier option for beginners.
See what cute sunbeams you can create.
And I give a step-by-step description of the manufacture of another volumetric product. 
Here, all the abbreviations that are used in the description are deciphered, so there will be no difficulties. The main thing is not to miscalculate and not to miss an extra loop.
Easy and quick paper tube craft
Newspaper tubes allow many craftswomen to replace the vine and master the technique of weaving. After all, this material is more accessible than a vine, which must first be found, then properly dried, and only then master the process of weaving. Of course, newspaper products do not have such high wear resistance, but they look chic.
Since this article is dedicated specifically to children's crafts, I suggest watching a video where a description of the sun with rays from newspaper tubes is given in great detail.
My dears, thank you for your attention and I wish you to spend every evening together with the children, because they grow up so fast. And these evening gatherings for common creativity will definitely remain in my memory.
Spring is a time of awakening nature and creative inspiration. It is at this wonderful time of the year that you and your children can create a huge number of interesting crafts from various materials. Spring-themed crafts will delight both children and adults, and you can find out what options for creations exist from the article below.
Craft "Flower meadow"
Flowers are one of the main joys of spring. After winter, you really want warmth and bright colors, so why don't you and your children make a flower meadow out of colored paper? First you need to prepare the elements of future flowers, for this, cut the colored paper into squares of different sizes. For one plant, you will need 4 squares or more. The more magnificent you want to get a flower, the more squares you will need!
Fold the square diagonally, then repeat the fold. Now cut out a heart from this shape, but do not cut it to the base. Expanding the square, you will see beautiful flower petals. This craft on the theme "Spring" requires the use of plastic tubes. Make a hole in the center of the flowers and insert a tube into them, cutting the free ends of the plastic (they will represent the stamens). Cut out leaves from green paper and attach to the flowers. Now make a clearing for them. Cut off one strip from the egg rack and paint with green paint (spring-themed crafts often contain this shade). Then insert the ends of the tubes into the grate - the clearing has bloomed!
How to make herbs?
Grasshoppers, or eco-men, are sold in many stores, but children love to make. Take and fill them with pre-purchased sawdust and grass seeds. Pantyhose should be tightly packed. Now, with the help of threads, form parts of the body of the eco-man. Highlight the arms, legs, nose, ears, and so on, so the craft on the theme of "Spring" will become more expressive. Glue on the little man's eyes and dress him up in a bright costume. When grass appears on the head of the eco-man, "braid" it with beautiful ribbons. Eco-humans are not just children's crafts! Spring fantasies are useful for a child, they develop his imagination and love for nature.
Bouquet of palms
A bouquet of palms can be made together with the child, and then presented to his mother or grandmother. For creativity, you only need paper, gouache and a brush. This craft on the theme of "Spring" can be made even by a very small child (with the help of an adult, of course). The kid should dip his hand in the paint and press it to the paper. An interesting bouquet will form from colored palms. With the help of a brush, you need to finish the stems and leaves of the flowers. Craft "Spring Bouquet" will be very popular with mom or grandmother. Also, the child can cut out prints of their hands from colored paper and stick them on cardboard.

Application "Dandelions"
Crafts "Spring has come" are very diverse in subject matter, materials and methods of execution. Children love to play with natural materials, so why don't you give them such an opportunity?

In the place where the flower is supposed to be located, you need to draw a circle with glue. Then put fluff from dandelions on the glue and press lightly. Application is ready! Children really like to blow the fluff directly onto the glue and admire the result.
Salt dough snowdrops
Crafts "Spring has come" can be very unusual. Invite your child to create beautiful snowdrops from salt dough. Prepare salt dough and roll it into a thin layer. Now take a plate of the size you need and use it to give the dough a round shape. This is the basis of your craft, its background. Then take plastic disposable spoons and cut off their handles. Color the spoons with blue gouache or acrylic paint. Apply paint in several layers, so your snowdrops will be brighter. Take the remaining salt dough, roll sausages out of it and give them the shape of leaves and stems. Carefully lay out the finished parts on a plate of salt dough, lubricating the joints with water.
Now take the blue colored spoons and press them gently near the bases of the stems. The craft is not ready yet - it needs to be dried thoroughly. This can be done in two ways: in the oven on the smallest fire and in the fresh air. Be prepared for the fact that in the air the salt dough will dry for quite some time. When the dough is completely dry, paint the petals and stems of snowdrops with green gouache. Cover the entire craft with a layer of varnish.
In spring, nature around is transformed and blooms, delighting all the kids. In this pleasant time of the year for people, you can create a lot of crafts from any materials at hand with your children. The theme of crafts can be different: they can be dedicated to holidays (March 8, Victory Day, Easter), or they can simply reflect the joy of awakening nature and the brightness of spring colors!
