Crafts for Earth Day

In order to broaden the horizons of the child, parents can offer to create for him crafts on the theme "Green Planet" and timed their creativity to the day of the earth.

An article on the topic "Our planet"

It is always interesting to know the outlook of a child, how he sees and represents this or that object, as seen by the green planet through the eyes of children. Creating crafts, an adult has the opportunity to get acquainted with such a child's immediate perception of life and help realize their creative ideas.

The child can make applications, sculpt from plasticine, create three-dimensional figures and any other crafts on the theme "Earth." A kid can himself create a planet of the solar system. To do this you need:

  1. We inflate the ball, put it on the stand for convenience (for example, in a deep plate).
  2. We rip the paper into small pieces, pasting the balloon.
  3. We paint the resulting design of a ball and paper with white paint.
  4. After the glue is completely dry, pierce the balloon with a needle and remove it.
  5. The hole where the ball was was sealed with paper.
  6. We take the white thread, we form the holder, for which we will subsequently hang the planet.
  7. We take a simple pencil and draw continents on our planet.
  8. Color the colors of the planet.

Our hand-crafted "Planet Earth" is ready.

Together with the child, you can create a panel "the earth is our common home". Crafts in the form of panels require a lot of time, so it is advisable to make such a picture with an older child, as the baby quickly overtakes and lose interest in the creative process. It is necessary to prepare the materials:

  1. We take a circle of cardboard, we glue the edge with colored tape.
  2. We come up with the plot and depict it on the cardboard.
  3. Cover the picture with a thin layer of plasticine. You can mix clay to get unusual colors.
  4. After the background is created, we begin to create details: trees, a river.
  5. Then we create from plasticine smaller details: birds, reeds, flowers.
  6. We take matches, we make a house from the house: we lay out matches along the walls of the house. Likewise, we spread the fence, the path, previously cutting off the head of the matches with a stationery knife.
  7. Final touches. We make waves from cotton wool, gluing it on plasticine, which was created by the river. The panel is ready.

Crafts on the theme of the cosmos, the planet, the world around us can be timed to celebrate the earth day. Such creative activity will allow the child to expand his horizons.
