The master class will teach you how to make your own hands a developing toy from improvised materials
Of course, we want our children to bethe smartest and most talented. Educational toys are aimed at developing children's various abilities. They fill store shelves today. But they are not cheap. What if you make them yourself? If you are a thrifty housewife, then you probably have scraps of different colors and textures, buttons, etc. All this can be used to create educational toys. In this master class, we will sew a toy "Dump Truck". Of course, this toy is primarily for a boy, but it may also interest girls.So, we will need materials:
- shreds of fabrics of different colors,
- button,
- two necks with unscrewing lids from plastic bottles,
- sewing thread,
- soft plastic,
- transparent all-purpose adhesive.
Tools:
- scissors,
- stationery knife,
- a piece of chalk,
- sewing needle.
Equipment:
- sewing machine,
- iron.
Description:Draw a random pattern for the truck applique. Cut out the details from fabric, preferably in contrasting colors. Baste and sew them to a square piece of fabric - the background. Mark out the places for the future wheels with chalk.For the body, four parts - two are symmetrical to the other two. Sew the parts in pairs so that the front side of the fabric is on the outside.Sew the two resulting pieces together, leaving the top unsewn. This will create a pocket.In the places intended for wheels, we make cross-shaped cuts.Fold the corners inside out and baste.We are stitching.Cut off the necks of the bottles, the very tops with the threads + 1 cm. Insert the necks with the threads facing out. Glue them with transparent universal glue.To fix the body, we sew a loop on it. And on the background we sew a button. Due to this, the body will be able to tip over. We sew exactly the same piece of fabric to the background so that the seam is on the inside, leaving one side unsewn.We insert a thick material cut to size inside. In our case, this is a porous material for insulation. We sew the remaining unstitched sides by hand.You should stock up on wheel caps. While this master class was being written, the wheel caps of the described car had already been changed.The toy is ready! How to play with the car:to collect toys, bricks, sweets in the basket. Collect them in order: one, two, three... If you prepare several pairs of wheels, i.e. caps of different colors, then you can study the colors: screw and unscrew yellow wheels, or green ones, etc. Author: Marakova Katerina
