Crafts from clothespins for children

Master class "Hut on chicken legs" made from wooden clothespins

Description of material: The material can be useful to children, teachers, kindergarten teachers and simply creative people.
Target: make a “hut on chicken legs” with your own hands;
Tasks:
- teach how to make crafts (namely, a hut) from clothespins with your own hands.
- develop aesthetic taste and creative abilities.
Materials used: glue gun and 2 packs of clothespins and a little imagination.

Before starting work, we disassemble the clothespins into parts.

We glue 9 clothespins together (these are future “chicken legs”)

Next, we form the “legs” themselves.

We glue half a clothespin on top of the “leg” (later we will attach Baba Yaga’s house itself to it). It will serve as a support.

Then we build the floors. To do this, we need to glue clothespins (14 pieces) together as shown in the photo.

After this, glue the clothespins together.

Glue the base of the house to the leg.

Let's start building walls:
Glue together 2 and a half clothespins. Glue them on one side. We do the same with the other, leaving a distance for the door.

We make windows in the side walls. To do this, you need to break three halves of clothespins (on one wall) in half. In total, for the side wall I used one whole clothespin and three halves.

The back wall of the house is solid. It took me 11 halves (5.5 clothespins)

For further work, we will need the “remnants” of clothespins (those that were left when we made the windows). Glue them together as in the photo.

We design the doorway.

All that remains is to make the roof. We glue 4 clothespins together and glue them above the door.

Every child needs toys for his full development. You don't have to buy them in the store. It is enough to know how to properly make the same house with your own hands in order to please your baby with a new toy with which he will tinker and not make noise. for a long time.

Hut on Chicken Legs

Children love fairy tale characters. And they will be happy to help in making a house for their beloved Baba Yaga. For this craft we will need the following components:

• Dried moss;
• Opened spruce or pine cones;
• Pre-prepared (ironed) leaves;
• Dry berries;
• Clothespins;
• Plasticine;
• Glue.

Making a Hut on Chicken Legs with your own hands

Let's show a simple diagram by which you can assemble this beautiful house for Baba Yaga. You can use other templates, but this one is the simplest and will not cause any difficulties in making for either an adult or a child.

So, step by step instructions:

• We take apart the wood chips and glue the house together. It is best to use “liquid nails” for this;
• Place the assembled Baba Yaga's Hut on a piece of cardboard and cover the space around it with moss;
• We glue the leaves of the berries onto the roof. We also place the remains of the moss there;
• We paint the cones in green, glue them also to the cardboard. These will be our Christmas trees;
• We sculpt various animals - bunnies, squirrels from plasticine.

The scenery and creation of the atmosphere of a fairy-tale forest are important here, because we are creating Baba Yaga’s hut, which, according to the fairy tale, is located in a place inaccessible to outsiders.

Old Man-Lesovich's hut

Making such a house together with your child may take several days. Spending time together like this brings parents and their children closer together. So what can you make such a craft from?

Let's list the main components that we need and get started with the process:

• You will need pastry packaging for a cake or cookies. We decorate it with the remnants of old wallpaper, creating an autumn forest background. Using matches, acorns, and cones, we make forest inhabitants - Lesovich himself and his friend the hedgehog.
• We make the house from a kefir box, and cover the walls themselves with large dill sticks to create the effect of logs. The hedgehog will live under stumps, which can be made from cutting branches.
• We make a path leading from the house to the pond using colored semolina and bean grains. We create the effect of water using colored paper, and pebbles using plum seeds.
• We decorate the forest and clearing with pieces of moss, dry twigs and leaves.

Hut in the clearing

We will hold another master class on crafts on the theme “House”. This time the design will be more complicated, and the pleasure can be extended for a long time.

For this we need:

• Scotch;
• Cardboard box;
• A couple of kilograms of chestnuts;
• Dry branches;
• Glue;
• Berries;
• Pen;
• Multi-colored fallen leaves;
• Scissors;
• Needles;
• Wire.

Hut in the clearing: making it step by step

Let’s start making the next craft together with our child, instilling in him useful skills and curiosity.

We assemble this toy in the following sequence:

We are making the foundation on which our house will stand. For this it uses cardboard box. We prepare a square 400x400 mm. We cut out the elements of the house from cardboard and connect them with tape. We attach it to the base.

We cut out windows and doors from pieces of snow-white paper. Glue it. We draw curtains with a pen. We decorate all the walls with chestnuts. We design the roof and ground around the house using colorful leaves, pine needles and berries.

Thus, you can make a house from almost any material by connecting the necessary components into one whole using tape and glue. Or - cut from pumpkin, watermelon, zucchini, eggplant.

There are many manuals and master classes on this topic on the Internet. Many lessons are accompanied by excellent explanations of what and how to do correctly in order to assemble a good and high-quality toy.

The new time spent together will delight the child, and he will enthusiastically help in collecting it for a long time. And then – have fun playing!

Materials for production:

Corrugated cardboard from boxes

Paper (I used printing paper, A5 size)

Super glue

Paper glue

Work progress:

1. From corrugated cardboard We make the frame of the house so that it is durable. We glue the walls of the house together using regular cardboard with super glue.

2. Using paper, using a pencil, tightly twist the tubes. Glue the end of the paper together regular glue so that the tubes do not unwind.

3. We glue the frame of the house with tubes using super glue, having measured and cut the required size in advance.

4. Cover the corners of the house, windows and door with regular cardboard at an angle of 90°.

5. The roof is made of ordinary cardboard. The edges are bent into a “bar” (I used a size of 5 mm)

6. The legs of the “hut on chicken legs” are made from the same tubes that are used to cover the house. The frame for the stability of the legs of the house uses a denser tube, twisted with the help of a ballpoint pen.

7. The ladder is made of plain cardboard, curved “bar”, like the edges of the roof of the house

8. You can paint the house with any paints (I used construction, water-dispersion paint, tinting it with color. In my opinion, it is durable and does not stain after drying. The houses can be wiped damp cloth, from dust accumulated on them).

From the very early childhood Many people love to read and watch various fairy tales. Their characters become favorite heroes. Each of them has its own character. For example, Ivanushka is stupid, but brave, Koschey is evil and cunning, Grandmother Yaga is harmful and insidious.

"Revived" characters

In addition to living heroes, in fairy tales there are also inanimate objects that come to life under certain circumstances: a self-assembled tablecloth in an instant becomes full of all kinds of treats, Emelya’s stove takes him straight to the palace, boots gallop faster than anything in the world, Baba Yaga’s hut begins to fly and follow orders, turning your back to the forest and your front to Ivanushka. By Slavic mythology this hut was, in a way, a door between the living and dead world. This passage was guarded by Baba Yaga - a bone leg.

Sometimes there is a need to make one or another fairy-tale attribute with my own hands(for example, for an exhibition or theatrical production).

Let's look at how to make a hut on chicken legs with your own hands. The material for the hut is selected depending on its purpose: timber or boards for a durable house, fabric for stage props.

DIY hut on chicken legs on the playground

Hut intended for children's playground, must be done thoroughly.

To work you will need:

• logs (for walls),
• boards (for floor and ceiling),
• carpentry tools,
• roofing materials.

The house is usually made without windows and doors, like in a fairy tale.

What is a hut without chicken legs? They can be made from asbestos pipes of suitable diameter, which after installation should be filled with concrete (for a stronger base). Next comes the construction process: walls are raised from logs, floors and ceilings are laid from boards, and a roof is made. Also from wooden planks You can build slopes for windows and doors. It will turn out very beautifully if the frames are made from cut out decorative elements.

An important touch in the design of a house is its painting, which helps to give the product a fabulous look. The legs of the house also need to be painted, legs attached to the base (from boards or other suitable material). After all the manipulations, a ladder should be attached to the house. The children will climb along it into the forest hut.

Making a hut for the stage

Very often, in kindergartens and schools, children play in fairy-tale performances. To make the production more realistic, proper stage design is required.

For example, the question arises - how to make a hut on chicken legs? The house should be light and, if necessary, quickly removable. You can use any material: cardboard, paper, fabric, plywood, etc.

First you need to make the frame of the future house. Next, cover it with fabric on which to draw windows and doors. The legs can be made from blocks, giving them the appearance of chicken, and also covered with fabric.

Of course, this hut will not fly or walk. But you can make it turn. To do this, you can come up with an appropriate simple mechanism.

Creating a hut on chicken legs from a box

Every person probably has unnecessary (and maybe even necessary) boxes from under a refrigerator, TV, or any other household appliances, shoes, food and so on. A do-it-yourself hut on chicken legs is very stable, durable and very original. The most important thing is to show imagination, a little perseverance and patience.

To make a house you will need:

• boxes,
• scissors,
• glue,
• ruler,
• self-adhesive and colored paper,
• plasticine,
• papier-mâché.

First you need to mark the future walls of the house on the boxes according to the right size. The house can be made either square or rectangular. Depending on your idea, you should cut out four quadrangles of the required width and height.

To make the roof, you will need two rectangles and two triangles. All finished parts are glued together. You can use Moment or Titan glue. Anyone will do the same paper glue or glue stick. It is important to leave a few millimeters on the seams or simply glue the corners of paper. The main part of the hut is ready. The base of the house is glued with cardboard according to its length and width.

Windows and doors of the future house

Next, windows are made (the number depends on the desire of the master) and a door. Using a ruler and pencil, mark their locations, and then cut them out with scissors. How? It also depends on the creator. You can cut off three sides and leave the fourth. It turns out that the window of the hut on chicken legs and the door will initially be attached to the house itself. Or you can cut out all the parts separately and then attach them with glue. The house with windows and door is ready.

How to make chicken legs?

The final touch is the legs. As a material, you can use ordinary pencils, twigs or twigs, which are attached to the base of the house with plasticine or tape. Next you should make the paws. Tree branches or papier-mâché can help here; in extreme cases, you can use plasticine. It is very important to give these details correct form, so that it looks like chicken feet.

A do-it-yourself hut on chicken legs will look more realistic if you decide correctly suitable color for coloring it. Of course you can choose bright colors: blue, green, red, orange, lemon and others. But in fairy tales, Baba Yaga's house seems very scary and gloomy, so it is better to use black, brown and gray tones.

For complete plausibility of the picture, next to the house you can place Baba Yaga on a mortar and trees, also made with your own hands.

Child and creativity

Making crafts from paper and cardboard is an important part in developing a child's character. Thanks to these activities, the baby becomes neat, diligent, independent, patient, enterprising, and organized. Any child involved in handmade, inherent qualities such as kindness and understanding, love and respect, care and tenderness. And this is not surprising.
