Winter crafts for school
Already in the first grade, children learn to work with scissors, an awl, and needles. The variety of techniques is increasing. School winter crafts can include complex folding, origami, corrugation and independently developed complex shapes. The rest depends on imagination and material.
Made from natural material
Most children are already familiar with the principles of turning pine cones into animals. In school crafts, complexity increases and small details appear.
For work, you can offer materials available in winter:
- cones and twigs;
- acorns, nuts;
- dried fruits and seeds;
- moss, dry autumn leaves.
You can use the collection left over from the fall.
From plastic bottles
Even adults are interested in crafts made from plastic bottles. The only limitation is that children are usually not trusted to cut plastic. Sharp edges can cause injury to children. But the bottle can be pasted over and painted. Transparent ones can be filled by painting the inside.
Penguins
To create funny penguins you will need two identical bottoms. Regular soda or mineral water bottles will do.
Snowflakes
Adults will have to cut and burn the bottoms of bottles in advance. This will prevent children from getting hurt on sharp edges. If you glue two identical bottoms together, you can fill the mold with colored cotton wool or confetti.
From pasta
The variety of pasta products in stores is huge. It would be unwise not to use this budget material. To expand the scope for creativity, you can invite children to create a common piggy bank. Then spaghetti, shells, original spirals, and flowers will appear in the works.
Herringbone
For a simple and effective Christmas tree you will need 100 g of ordinary pasta feathers. The craft is based on a cardboard cone. No less impressive works are obtained from bows or spirals. You can also put beads in shells fixed in the shape of boats - they will replace Christmas tree decorations.
Snowflakes
The easiest way to make snowflakes is from stylized flowers. With a little imagination, you can find a use for any pasta. After gluing, the toys are easily painted with regular gouache.
Christmas balls
The basis for the Christmas tree decoration is a small balloon. You can use any pasta. The main condition is that they must stick tightly to each other, but not to the ball. Then the base can be blown off, and the lace toy can be painted and decorated.
