Crafts from baby food lids

Young parents often buy treats for their babies in the form of Agusha or FrutoNyanya baby puree. Packages are usually thrown into the trash after the contents run out, but there is another use for food lids - making crafts. In this article, we will look at games with baby food lids, as well as ways to make appliques and crafts.

Surely every parent felt some disappointment when a child chose not an expensive new toy for the game, but ordinary dishes, bottles or can lids. In fact, this is not at all bad - the interest of kids in bright covers can be used in interesting, educational games.

We propose to consider several options for games with lids from baby puree "Agusha", "Gerber" or "Babushkino basket".

• "Edible and inedible." To play you will need caps, stickers on various themes (animals, food, jewelry) and a box. Stickers must be glued to the inside of the lids, folded into a box and mixed. Then invite your child to pull one chip out of the box and name it, an image of edible or inedible is glued to it.

• Find a pair. To play this game, you will need two of the same sticker sets. Glue the pictures to the caps and invite the kids to find matching pictures.

• "Search and Count". To play, you will need several sets of stickers with the same or similar theme, for example, with animals. The game will help the child remember the names of animals and learn how to count.Glue stickers to the lids and invite your kid to find a certain number of animals, for example, 2 cows, 3 cats or 4 birds.

Bright, multi-colored lids from the FrutoNyanya children's delicacy perfectly attract the attention of little fidgets, so they can also be used in cognitive games. Let's take a closer look at a few examples.

• "Sorter". The game can be interesting both for very young children and for curious preschoolers. For the smallest children under the age of one year, offer to put bright lids in a box with a special hole. For kids from one and a half years old, the task can be complicated - prepare several boxes with holes and make colored marks on them. Invite your child to sort the FrutoNyany caps by color.

• In water... Every mother knows that it is very difficult to persuade a child to swim. The task can be facilitated by pouring bright plastic lids into the water. Offer your baby a sieve or a net - with these tools you need to catch the lids out of the water and put them in multi-colored containers.

• "Beads". For the game, you will need multi-colored circles from the lids and twine. Invite your child to string the plastic circles on the string, naming their color. The game will help the kid learn colors and also learn how to count.

Manufacturers of FrutoNyanya baby puree noticed the interest of kids in bright caps, so they began to produce packaging with an unusual design. Each lid has special notches that allow you to connect them together, creating appliqués. If you collect the caps from the packages, after a while you will have a whole set of unusual, multi-colored constructors.

Let's consider several options for applications from such an unusual material.

• "Flower"... For the craft, you will need 6 caps of the same color and one of a different color. This is the simplest application: you just need to attach the same caps around the cork of a different color. Together with your child, you can make a clearing of such flowers, in addition, they can serve as the basis for more complex applications or voluminous crafts.

• "Numbers"... Invite the kids to fasten the lids together so that they line up in numbers.

• "Bike". Children really like to ride a bike, so you can invite them to make an applique in the form of this vehicle. Applique wheels are made in the same way as creating a "flower" craft. Then the wheels are connected to each other by a crossbar of several covers. A steering wheel is created above one wheel, and a seat is created above the other.

There are a lot of options for creating applications - you can make a butterfly, a sun, a boat, a Christmas tree and much more from FrutoNyanya corks. To make it easier for children to choose a picture, you can print or draw templates on paper. When there is a clear example of a picture in front of their eyes, it will be easier for children to design applications.

The manufacturers did not stop at the manufacture of lids-constructors with side grooves, they are also connected by the middle. Thanks to this structure of corks, you can create bright volumetric crafts from them.

Let's take a closer look at several options for volumetric creations.

• "Flower on a leg". A simple craft, the basis of which is a "flower" applique. To make a craft, first fasten the caps together so that you get a flower. Then connect several caps together with the middle to make a stem, and attach it to the middle of the flower from below. If desired, several petals can be attached to the stem in different places using lateral grooves.

• "Cup". Bulky crafts made from baby puree corks can be not only beautiful, but also useful.To create a cup, you must first fasten a flat base-clearing, for this create a flower and add another circle of corks around it, attaching them to the side grooves. Then, to the outermost plugs, gradually attach the plugs from above in a circle, creating the walls of the cup. The ready-made stand can be used to store pencils, markers, pens and other stationery.

• "Yula"... A craft that will delight the child for a long time, because it will be a homemade toy. Create a clearing out of the lids as a base for the cup, and then add another lid to each corner of the hexagon. Attach two plugs at the top and one at the bottom to the middle of the craft.
