Making animals together with the child, you can study their names, as well as the habitat.
Quite an interesting option is to create a Kesha parrot:
- A yellow container is taken, will act as the base of the bird;
- To create a beak, tuft and wings, plasticine is used (the brighter the colors, the more interesting);
- The tail is made of colored paper;
- Buttons act as eyes, which are attached to the base as accurately as possible.
Any other animal can be created in the same way.

- Initially, the character's hair is created; for this, a thin wire is used. For these purposes, several holes are made in the lid of the kinder capsule and a wire is passed through them so that a slight bristle is formed. To prevent the hair from falling inward, they are fixed with a piece of paper glued to it.
- The capsule is closed and the eyes are glued to it. You can use a package of tablets, for this you first need to cut off excess parts in it and place a bead inside.

Bees can be of absolutely any kind, so the process of creating them directly depends on the materials at hand. The stripes on the body of an insect can be made of thin wire, black thread, colored paper, or drawn with a marker.
Beads can act as eyes, in which case they are attached with glue or plasticine. To simplify the task, the eyes can also be simply drawn. The wings are made from cardboard or wire.
To create a honeycomb that will be tied to the bees, the sleeve is divided into rings of equal width.
