Every child loves to create something. It is difficult to determine at what age he managed to make the first funny craft, but after it a whole collection of works made by small skillful pens appears in the house. What to do with these jobs as the child grows up? It's a pity to throw it away, put it on the shelves, there is hardly enough space, since some children are ready to do something new every day. We invite everyone to participate in the All-Russian contests of children's crafts and receive well-deserved prizes.

Goals and objectives of the craft competition for preschoolers and schoolchildren

It would seem that there is nothing unusual in the fact that boys and girls love to do something with their own hands. But this is not at all the case. Why do some children constantly make crafts, while others do not want to work with any materials? This question is asked not only by parents, but also by the workers of the preschool educational institution. To help children get involved in any kind of creativity, parents, and later educators, teachers, educators additional education should interest the little man in an unusual activity. Try to show them the manufacturing process, offer to see the final result in advance. And when the children learn how to make crafts with their own hands, take part with them in the All-Russian contests that are held on the Klassnye-chas.ru portal.

Doing crafts develops the child. Everyone who works with paper or plasticine, beads or natural material has well-formed fine motor skills of the hands. It will be easier for them to learn to write, they will always take the initiative when performing creative work. In addition, the manufacture of various products with your own hands pursues other, equally important goals:

• the formation of perseverance;
• education of accuracy in work;
• development of interest in creative independent activity.

How to submit crafts at the all-Russian creative competition 2017 - 2018?

Almost any child can do the job. It will turn out even better and more interesting if an adult gives his all possible help. But not everyone decides to provide a finished masterpiece for a remote competition. And not at all because they are not sure that their work will be appreciated at its true worth, but because they do not know how to send it to the organizing committee.

Before sitting down to do the craft, you must carefully read the position. Most likely, this is the only way on the site Klassnye-chats.ru, the work is not required to be submitted in the original for the competition. The participant must take a picture himself or with the help of his parents ready product and send to the specified address only a photo along with a completed application. You cannot process the resulting photo in Photoshop or similar (similar) programs. There must be foreign objects in the photo. If the position indicates the maximum allowable size of the sent file, then you should pay attention to these parameters. It turns out that everything is extremely simple: the work at home remains, and the participation is accepted.

How are children's entries of the All-Russian handicraft competition evaluated?

Having completed the competition work, having sent all the documents to the competition, each participant expects the results with impatience and excitement. In their hearts, everyone hopes to get the coveted first place, but at the same time doubts gnaw that, apparently, more original works will be sent. The evaluation of the works is given by the jury in accordance with the criteria that are stipulated in the regulation. In addition, the works of the participants are separately assessed in age categories. Thus, you should not worry that the work of a preschooler will be in a less advantageous position than the work of a high school student or an experienced teacher. And even if the participant of the competition did not become the winner, it is important that he was able to declare himself and take the first step towards victory.

Do you know how to do something with your own hands? Be sure to participate with your children in the All-Russian craft contests in 2017 - 2018 academic year... By the way, on our website Klassnye-chats.ru and teachers participate in such events, competing in their age category.

The idea of ​​making a bouquet of flowers out of paper is very good. For paper crafts, we need to purchase colored paper, cardboard, felt-tip pens, stationery knife, tape, scissors and PVA glue.

Bouquet of paper

First you need to make three blanks for each flower, two of which should be the same color, they should have six petals.

Place one blank in front of you, on top of which stick a circle.

On the mug, pre-make holes for the eyes and mouth in the form of a smiley.

After gluing the mug with a flower, you need to paint your eyes with a black felt-tip pen, and then bend the petals inward.

The next step is to cut out the stem, which we further attach to the flower, and on the other side of the flower, attach the same blank.

You can also make leaves for a bouquet, which can be made from green paper.

First you need to draw an oval and cut it out, and then use scissors to make notches.

In order for the individual pieces of paper craft to become a single whole, tie the flowers with a ribbon or some other fabric for decorating the bouquet.

Such a bouquet will never fade and will be a great decoration for your home.

Simple crafts from plastic bottles

The simplest crafts for children include crafts from bottles.

For example, you can make a piggy bank from a bottle, for which you only need a marker, a clerical knife, dice (4 pieces), a small bottle, glue and colored paper.

The first step is to cut a straight line, the width of which can be 5 centimeters, and the length of this line should be enough to grip the bottle.

Draw eyes with a marker, and draw nostrils on the bottle cap. Using a clerical knife, cut a hole for coins.

As legs for the pig, you need to attach the dice with glue.

Note!

This craft develops the child's imagination, and is also useful in everyday life.

Ball of threads

The craft can be used as a lampshade for a lamp or simply hung as a decoration.

A ball of threads is made very simply; for its manufacture you will need colored threads, a ball, transparent glue.

First, we need to inflate the balloon and tie the tip so that the air does not come out.

Then the inflated ball must be wrapped with threads, after which glue is applied to the surface of the ball and wait until it dries.

Note!

Now you need to separate the ball from the threads, to do this, just pierce it with a needle and everything is ready for the craft.

Plasticine gnome and cones

As a simple DIY craft, you can make a gnome. For crafts, you will directly need a pine cone, light-colored plasticine, pieces of fabric, glue and a brush.

First of all, the child should roll a ball out of a piece of plasticine, after which it is necessary to make indentations for the nose, eyes and mouth on the ball using a brush.

At the next stage of our craft, you need to attach the resulting head to the top of the cone.

Then the child should cut a triangle out of the fabric and glue it on the sides, as a result, a cone should be obtained. The cone will play the role of a cap for our character.

Note!

At the end, you need to make mittens from fabric, and then attach them to the cone using plasticine and our gnome from the cone is ready.

Paper bookmark

As a simple craft for kindergarten a paper bookmark is perfect. For children to be able to make such a simple craft, they will need a pencil, a ruler, colored paper, scissors and glue.

To begin with, children should draw a square measuring 20 by 20 centimeters.

Then divide the resulting square into 4 identical parts using a pencil and a ruler, in the end there will be 4 squares measuring 5 by 5 centimeters.

The second step is to divide the upper right and lower left squares in such a way as to get triangles, that is, you need to draw a line diagonally from the upper corner to the lower corner.

We do not need triangles with the outer side and can be crossed out.

Then it is necessary to cut out a figure from paper without taking into account the crossed out triangles.

The upper triangle needs to be trimmed. If everything is done correctly, the paper will be in the shape of a diamond with two triangles glued to it.

The next step is to fold all the triangles in half, and then alternately put them on the tip of the rhombus. You should have a pocket that fits over the end of the book page.

To make the bookmark original, children can be advised to cut some kind of applique from colored paper.

Plasticine fasten separate parts of simple toys at the initial stage of work. It is not very durable, but as a supplement it is often used in kindergarten and in primary school.

From wire most often they make the frame of the toy, the connection of its parts. Copper wire diameter 0.29-0.35mm - soft, flexible and durable - most comfortable. And for the frame, a wire of a larger diameter is used - 1-1.5 mm.

Threads it is better to take thick, multi-colored (No. 10).

It is also additionally necessary to have certain tools for making crafts from natural material:

• art scissors;

• tweezers;
• pliers and wire cutters;
