Crafts for babies

Joint creativity of mother and child allows not only to harmonize the child-parent relationship, but also to develop the creative abilities of the baby. As a material for creativity, you can use:

Simple crafts of plasticine for babies

The most simple and pliable material for crafts in childhood is clay. Working with his hands, the baby is actively developing fine motor skills, and hence speech, as they are interrelated. In addition, modeling plasticine with children is a great way to develop a child's concept of shape and color.

In order to teach a child to sculpt figures and objects from plasticine, he must first be able to work with it: roll sausages, roll balls, pinch pieces, etc. After the kid has learned to roll the clay in various ways, you can suggest creating the first simple crafts, for example, roll the sausage and wrap it in such a way that a snail has turned out.

Creating a three-dimensional application of flowers is also not difficult for a 2-3-year-old child. The technical application of such applications from plasticine is very simple and additional tools are almost not required.

You can offer the child to make a plasticine application.

1. Print a pattern template, for example, some animal.
2. We take a multi-colored plasticine, which we want to make an applique.
3. We offer the baby to roll small balls from plasticine.
4. The child fills the pattern pattern with balls of plasticine by pressing on each ball.
5. Thus, it is necessary to fill the whole picture with plasticine balls.

In this case, it is necessary to take into account the age of the child and not to offer large drawings, since the child can quickly overtake and refuse to continue to create a hand-made article.
