And educators make these wonderful surprises with the kids, who offer the idea of a presentation and help to bring it to life. Moms will be moved to tears when their children present homemade souvenirs for the holiday.
What crafts for March 8 can kids do in kindergarten (video):
Salted dough souvenir
For younger groups, you can offer to make a souvenir from salted dough. The dough is very simple: you need to mix 1 cup of flour, ½ cup of salt with half a cup of water.
On a note! The dough should be elastic and soft, but not stick to your hands.
The dough can be used to sculpt a stand with flowers, an animal figurine, a fridge magnet or a keychain. After the craft is sculpted, it should be decorated with paints (watercolors or gouache). Then the product is left for a day so that it dries well and hardens.
Bouquet of tulips
The most suitable option for DIY crafts for the holiday is a bouquet of tulips, which children of older groups can make from the following materials:
- Plasticine;
- Glue stick;
- Plastic cup;
- 9 plastic spoons;
- Scissors;
- Green corrugated paper;
- Paper napkins in red and white.
Getting started:
- We fill a plastic cup with plasticine so that it completely covers the bottom.
On a note! It is advisable to hold the plasticine for 10-15 minutes in advance before working on the battery, then it will be easier to work with it.
- Cut the red napkin in half to make two two-layer squares.
- Apply glue to one square. This must be done very carefully so that the napkin does not break.
- Put the plastic spoon diagonally on the napkin, wrap the edges around the spoon - this will be one tulip petal. In the same way, you need to make two more petals.
- We roll up a ball of plasticine, place it in one of the petals. We attach the remaining two petals to the plasticine.We fix the finished bud with a wire (the teacher must do this).
- Cut a strip out of corrugated paper, coat it with glue and wrap the spoon handles, starting from the top.
- It remains to make another red and one white tulips, after which the flowers can be placed in a glass with plasticine.
Pot with cardboard flower
A cute souvenir is made of a plastic cup, colored cardboard (smooth and embossed), ribbon, wooden ice cream sticks and colored paper. Cover the cup with corrugated paper, fill the bottom with plasticine. Paint the wooden sticks green, wait for them to dry, and then stick them vertically into a glass - this will be an imitation of weed. Cut a flower out of colored cardboard and a heart out of embossed cardboard. Glue the heart into the center of the flower. It remains to glue the resulting flower on a long stick and place it in the center of the glass. "Pot" can be decorated with a ribbon bow.
