Parents and children can not only confront each other as representatives of different generations, but also cooperate very fruitfully. For example, making something original and interesting together.

Cones, twigs, paper

Let's say you were walking in the park and found some cones, chestnuts. Take them home, at the same time picking up twigs from the Christmas tree (there are a lot of them lying around the tree - birds pluck off or the wind cuts off), twigs and, in general, such “garbage” that you might need. With the help of all of the above, you will get excellent DIY crafts from improvised material. And when you come home, carefully study the "catch". For example, you can make a fragment of a winter or summer forest. Let's take a look at the first option. Take a piece of free-form cardboard. If the front side is white, give it a light blue with paints or a pencil. It will be snow. And if the cardboard is yellow or brown - sticklandscape sheet and color. The basis for your do-it-yourself crafts from improvised material is ready. Now pick up white corks from plastic bottles. Hole them in the middle and insert the sprigs of Christmas trees with the base down. These will be trees. Lubricate the corks along the edge with Moment or PVA glue and stick in random order on the base. You will get Christmas trees in a snowdrift. Now we make a forester out of cones. To do this, insert the twigs in place of the hands (we turn the bump upside down), paint the cap-cap. You can also draw a face. Now we also attach it to the cardboard. Either using the same cork, or carefully glue the ends of the cone top with glue and press until they grab the paper.

And the last element of this do-it-yourself craft from improvised material is to make a chestnut basket for the lumberjack. To do this, carefully cut the round part twice with a sharp knife - there will be a handle. Carefully hollow out the pulp so that the “handle” does not break. Here is the bast. Glue it on. That's it, you made one version of DIY crafts from improvised material.

Funny Pigs

To prepare an original surprise for your relatives or kids, you can really take any material at hand. Let's say an eggshell. It is easy to make funny piglets out of it. Only condition: carefully pour the contents of the shell through a small hole so that the “container” itself remains intact. So, let's prepare 3 empty shells - of whichmake great kids crafts.

Of the materials at hand that we can use, these are perhaps the most fragile. But also original. So, release the contents into a plate. Pour hot water with soap or dishwashing gel through the hole, shake to rinse the walls of egg residue. Now insert a bunch of threads into the hole - this is the tail. Paint the shell itself with pink varnish. And on the sharp end, draw a funny muzzle. And so three times. Naf-Naf, Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, right? Make them legs out of plasticine. These handicrafts from improvised materials, the photos of which you see, are made quite easily and quickly, only your desire and imagination are important.

A little more creativity

Do you know how to make a chasing from a tin tube of cream or toothpaste? Cut off both ends of the container, cut along, open it. Wash, straighten. Then, with a pencil, apply a drawing from the side of the “cover” and interrupt it with a knitting needle. On the shiny inner "metal" side, you get a chased pattern. Now make a frame out of cardboard and insert your “picture” into it. You can give it to someone or keep it as a keepsake.
