To save the house from destruction by children with their irrepressible energy, you simply need to entertain them with something all the time.

website offers several simple and available ways keep your child busy when bad weather prevents you from going for a walk.

1. Turn a regular fan into a rainbow one

Allow your child to color the blades different colors and then just let it dry. Delight guaranteed!

2. Make edible clay

You will need:

• half cup softened unsalted butter
• 1 tbsp. l. heavy cream
• 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
• 3–4 cups powdered sugar
• gel food coloring (optional)

Beat butter and cream with a mixer. Then gradually add powdered sugar into the mixture and mix. The mass should become thick and dense enough for modeling. Finally add vanilla extract (optional). Knead the dough on a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar. Divide it into several parts, add a drop of food coloring to each and mix well again (if you don’t want to use dyes, you can leave the mass white). Now you can start sculpting - roll out with a rolling pin, cut out figures or shape them with your fingers; they are quite simply fastened together. And most importantly, you can eat all this later.

3. Hang a swing at home

You can hang a swing not only outside, but also at home. And believe me, your baby can rock in them all day long.

4. Prepare a soft mass that glows in the dark

You will need:

• ​​​​​​Ultraviolet lamp
• vitamin b complex
• vegetable oil
• cream of tartar (can be found at a spice store)

Crush 2 vitamins into powder (if your vitamins are in capsules, just pour out the contents). Add 2 cups flour, 4 tsp. cream of tartar, 2/3 cup salt and mix well. Then add 2 cups of warm water and 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. Mix well so that there are no lumps. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes like plasticine and no longer sticks to the pan and your hands. Let cool and proceed. Turn off the light and turn on the lamp. Plasticine will glow in the dark!

5. “Make” snow

If winter is still far away, make your own snow! You can make lumps or just play with fluffy snow. All you need to do is mix cornstarch with shaving foam. You can add a little dye, and then the “snow” will become colored.

6. Ask your child to make faces out of small objects.

Collect buttons, beads, caps - in general, whatever you think is suitable, and ask your child to make different faces out of them. In addition to keeping him occupied for a while, this will be a great way to develop fine motor skills and the child's imagination.

7. Prepare unusual paints for drawings

Mix hair gel, food coloring, glitter and confetti. Such paints adhere unusually to paper and allow you to create simply magical drawings.

8. Make chocolate bowls for sweets or ice cream

Simply melt the chocolate and then dip the inflated air balloons. Then let the chocolate dry and carefully pop the balls.

9. Make a maze out of cardboard boxes

Cut the boxes and glue their walls together, cut out the arches - and fun for the whole day is guaranteed.

10. From cardboard box you can do something else interesting

You can make a whole city with your child: draw roads, arrange cars and people. And then the baby himself will turn it into an exciting game.

11. Make your own solar system model

You will need: round plywood, newspapers, toilet paper, glue and paints. You need to form balls from newspapers and paper, and then dry and paint them. Then paint the plywood and attach the “planets” to it, and your own Universe is ready.

12. Build your own castle

Sleeves from paper towels, juice boxes and some cardboard - that's all you need for a real castle.

13. Color it Christmas balls

The New Year is not that far away. By using acrylic paints your child can turn plain Christmas balls into an exclusive work of art.

14. Put soap in the microwave and give your child a soap cloud.

15. Create an underwater world

Cut out silhouettes of sea animals from black paper: fish, squid, crabs, as well as stones, algae, etc. Cover a sheet of white paper with watercolors of “sea” colors. It is important to create a fairly wet coating that does not dry out right away. And now the secret technique! Give your child a pre-prepared dropper of alcohol and ask him to apply a few drops all over the canvas. The alcohol will dissolve the paint, and glowing circles will appear on the paper. Wait for the paint to dry completely and glue the cut out silhouettes onto the background.

If the child is too small for such drawing, then take a rolling pin, wrap it with threads, pour paints onto the rolling pin and draw by rolling the rolling pin over a sheet of paper. It's easy! It's fun! It's unusual!

Color racing

Do you think you can only draw in a fun and sweeping way with a rolling pin? But no! Dip the wheels of your child's cars in paint and roll them on a piece of whatman paper. The larger the sheet of Whatman paper, the merrier!

Unusual popsicle

The wind splashed my hair...

Crumple-pat, spray-dry

Where's your fork, artist?

Petal Dresses

Let's try to draw using flowers? Draw a doll (princess, fairy, butterfly, etc.) and invite the child to decorate it with flower petals, or blades of grass, or leaves. I’ll say right away: it’s not necessary to pick flowers. Just collect the petals that have fallen on their own. They are still fresh and quite suitable for such creativity. Unusual ideas for creativity they often lie on the surface, the main thing is to start looking for them. 🙂 Enjoy your games! Happy creativity and bright ideas!

For the past year, I have lost my wife and daughter for half a day on Sundays. 🙂 They are addicted to going to master classes every week, which are held in the nearest shopping center. I haven’t seen enough crafts during this time: from the now common quilling to rag “flying cats”!

The child's fantasy world is rich and varied. And often for our children, in order to turn their ideas into reality, ordinary and familiar materials for creativity, such as paints, paper, pencils and plasticine, are not enough. Although, without a doubt, you can create a lot of all kinds of original crafts from the above materials.

But you and I are not used to limiting ourselves to small things, are we? 🙂 And that’s right. After all, it’s hard to even imagine how many children’s crafts you can make with your own hands. But all you need is nothing at all: just see how exactly they are made.

Today I have prepared just such a review of children’s crafts that you can do with your own hands for you. Well, let's move from words to action and go on a journey through the magical land of children's crafts? Go!

Origami

Mostly, of course, from plasticine. After all, this is truly an amazing material that allows children, without much effort, to turn their childhood fantasies into reality. The technique of modeling from plasticine is not so difficult to master, but as a result, your child will receive a lot of bright and unforgettable impressions. Figures of people and animals, applications, paintings, entire complexes of buildings, palaces - this is only a small part of what can be made from plasticine.

But the matter is not limited to just plasticine, right? There are a huge variety of materials for modeling! Clay, polymer clay, salty dough- this is a completely incomplete list.
