Original crafts for the celebration of any holiday: Orthodox, children's, folk. Photo ideas for any occasion

For children of all ages, there is no better educational activity than creative lessons. The best direction in this area is sculpting, cutting out shapes, and creating three-dimensional applications.

The child must actively develop fine motor skills of the fingers, as well as plot perception and abstract thinking. Young craftsmen have a wide collection of ideas and interesting ideas to choose from, one of which is a craft house.

Crafts for City Day

Every year on a certain day, Russian cities celebrate their birthday. For example, Moscow celebrates on the first Saturday of September, Bryansk on September 17, Pskov on July 23 or 24, St. Petersburg on May 27, and so on.

On this day all the townspeople walk:

• watch a festive performance with dances, songs and competitions;
• participate in master classes;
• buy treats at the fair, look at exhibitions of drawings depicting the hero of the occasion, as well as at exhibitions of collections of holiday crafts with their own hands.

Thanks to them, you can visually express your love for the place where you live. It is desirable that they be related to:

• history are monuments. This idea can be realized using compositions from various materials: polymer clay, plastic, porcelain material, natural resources;
• symbols - the city anthem, flag or coat of arms. Implemented using embroidery and modern decoupage elements;
• the life of the city – key or favorite places in the city. Capturing them in paintings or creating minimized structures.

Preparation for the anniversary of your hometown is especially important. With the help of creativity and creativity, all kinds of ideas for a beautiful exhibition are discovered.

Ideas for schoolchildren

Crafts for school dedicated to City Day are much more varied than those done in kindergarten. Schoolchildren can “get theirs” due to the scope. An excellent option is a model of a city or its central square made from boxes. It would also be a good idea to imitate the most iconic landmarks in the same way. It is very useful to prepare a plan for a future craft on paper.

The structures are assembled from single parts. They are printed and glued. You can simplify your work if you print out individual elements of historical buildings and other structures. It is quite possible to draw them with your own hands. The sheet will have to be bent so that it can “stand” and maintain its geometric shape.

If the city day falls in autumn, then it is quite logical to use fallen leaves, cones and acorns. Easy to use, available at no additional cost, the material allows you to create a variety of compositions. You shouldn’t chase particularly complex plots; you need to choose relatively simple solutions. Postcards and toys, appliques and decorative ornaments are a very obvious option. You can also show images of plants and animals characteristic of the area: this is fresh and original.

Crafts for City Day can also be based on those ideas that are used for school holidays. We are talking about:

How to make a Russian flag from paper with your own hands

The flag can serve as the background of a postcard, and decorative elements at the same time: flowers, birch, dove, coat of arms and other symbols. Take cardboard of any color for the base, corrugated paper of three colors, scissors and glue.

The paper is cut into small squares, and dense balls are formed from them using the crumpling technique. Then glue is applied to the cardboard and lumps are glued to it closely in accordance with the color of the Russian flag. From top to bottom there are three equal stripes: white, blue, red. The base for the weekend craft is ready.

Palms cut from colored paper can be used for the layout. They are placed so that the cardboard base is not visible, and it is better to glue only part of the wrist, leaving the fingers free.

Instead of palms, you can use flower buds of the corresponding color. For example, for white – daisies, lilies; for blue – cornflowers, forget-me-nots; for red – poppies. They can be either cut out and glued from paper, or alive. Such beauty would also be appropriate on May 1 - the Spring and Labor holiday (day of international workers' solidarity).

You can tightly glue spaghetti, half-peas or long-grain rice to the base and paint them in three colors. An even simpler and faster option is to use three blanks in the shape of rectangles in the desired colors.

After 17 minutes, make a second portion of the mixture and pour it into the second half of the kinder, so that a small mound protrudes. Turn the first half over onto the second and secure with thread so that the plaster does not spill. After half an hour, open the structure and leave to harden in a warm place for 5 hours.

On November 14, on the Kuzminki holiday, in honor of the memory of the unmercenary saints Cosmas and Dimian, who had the gift of healing people, according to tradition, girls make a stuffed animal. They take a man's pants and shirt and stuff it with straw. The body is girded with a sash, and old sandals are put on. A head is attached to the body, made of any fabric and filler, forming the shape of a ball. At the end of the day it is either burned or floated on the water.
