Communication;
Fine motor skills;

Teamwork;
Sometimes leadership qualities as well.

Helpful qualities will greatly simplify a child's adult life. With younger children need to develop the child in the way of group work, with the older add individual work.

Children's crafts from plastic spoons

In the understanding of the parent to the teamwork with the kid should be present elementary rule: the product is simple, safe to make and educational. Try making crafts with your own hands out of plastic spoons.

Additional materials:

Paper;
Napkins;
Natural materials;
Decorative supplies;
Glue and glue gun(Use an adult!);
Drawing supplies.

It is not necessary to come up with your own, look at ready-made schemes. The result will be individual in any case. Use your imagination. And don't forget to give your child the opportunity to decide questions in the process.

Simple ideas.

Create instructive patterns. Let it be different animals, fruits or vegetables. The head of the spoon is the head of the creature. And glue a paper calf to the handle. As toys are made together, the child learns objects and their properties. And later these toys help further in socialization.

There is nothing difficult about making ladybugs and other bugs. Just enough to have on hand other materials that can give a spoon needed color. Tissues can wrap a cut groove and paint.

For the more imaginative, you can, like a ladybug, make indentations for black dots. It is enough to take something hot, metal and round and apply a spoon to some places, pressing lightly. This will form craters, which can later be painted with acrylic on a glossy surface.

The spoon can be cut in half to make the wings of the bug. So cut spoon attach to the whole, to the back, pre-painted.

New Year's toys

Children love the new year because of the festive atmosphere in the whole world. To make it more festive, you can make Christmas decorations with your child before setting up the tree.

Create a mini Christmas tree on your child's desk. You can do this in two ways. In either case, you need a bar. In the first method, fix a cardboard cone around the bar and glue grooves in even rows from bottom to top. Or you can take the same bar, cut off the handles of spoons on the length corresponding to the herringbone tier.

Bend their ends, using the heat from the fire of a lighter (no way this should not do a child!). Make notches in the bend on the sides. And, starting from the bottom up, use thread or thin tape to fasten the tiers around the rod. You can fasten the spoons in tiers not with a thread, but by fusing them with the flame. And in this case you can fasten the tiers by fusing them together, only from top to bottom.

Do not forget to paint the spoons in the right color before gluing. And at the end of the work, decorate the product as a real Christmas tree.

Interior

Many needleworkers will understand: You gather unnecessary material, think up a concept or take a ready-made one, make it, you get a masterpiece. And this masterpiece pleases everyone for a long time. This is somewhat higher level than children's crafts. It's definitely something that adults do.

You can also take ready-made instructions, or inspired by ready-made works, such as crafts from plastic spoons master classes from https://imaster.desigusxpro.com/en/. Or come up with a complete concept yourself. Beginners may not take complicated works.

Note: Remember that plastic is an easily melting material, so it is not necessary to have glue or tape on hand. It is enough to fuse with fire matches or lighters. This way the crafts will look neat and uncluttered.

Flowers for any occasion

Knowing how to make flowers from plastic spoons, you can get out of any situation where you need to make decorations. The simplest are tulips. Because their petals resemble the grooves of spoons as much as possible. All you have to do is curve them a little and fold them together with a sticky tape.

Complex, but very beautiful roses. Before stapling, the grooves are treated with flame heat so that they take on an unnatural petal shape with curves. At some points, the material will have to be corrected during processing so that it takes the desired shape. For example, a rounded middle. This can be done gradually with improvised materials, a toothpick. Afterwards, fasten the petals.

Lights

Why buy a lamp cover or chandelier, if you can make them yourself. Lotus light fixtures will create the most romantic atmosphere. If you do not decorate the lamp completely, then make a stand for it. A beautiful floral stand decorates any electronic or wax candle. Ordinary chandelier lanterns look more interesting if you make circular rows of their spoons by sewing them on.

Clocks and mirrors

Decorate mirrors and clocks. Create a frame for them. Use round-shaped cardboard or wood for the base. And glue the grooves to this surface. You can just make a circle, you can make many colors. You can put a photo in this frame.

This is not the whole list of possibilities, which can not be completely brushed over. Let the desire and imagination guide you.
