Making children's toys from waste material with your own hands is always pleasant, but when this interesting work gives a second life to old things, it is also practical.
Cat with gloves
Every family has a few old gloves that their other halves have run away from. It's a shame to throw them away, but maybe a pair will be found. But somehow they never are. Sew a kitten out of them with your own hands.
Spaniel from packages

- plastic colored bottles or a pair of tight packages (slightly, for the eyes);
- glue, thread, needle.
The order of performance of work

- Cut a strip of 7-9 cm wide from the packages and make a fringe on them 2/3 of the width of the strip.
- Starting with the fingers, tips of the tail and ears sew the strips of the packages in a spiral.
- Cover the strips with half-width packages.
- On the muzzle, leave 1-2 cm of tissue.
- Make yourself a piece of artificial leather spout.

Toys made of natural material
In order to make it with your own handstoys made of natural material, it must first be collected. Get additional pleasure by walking with your child in the park or forest, collecting pine cones, leaves and acorns. Straw figurines At all times, parents made toys for their children from any available materials: wood, fabric, pine cones, clay. But the easiest and most accessible raw material was straw. The photo shows how easy it is to make a figurine of a person or a horse from a bunch of dry grass with your own hands. All you need to do is:
- fold a bundle of straw in half, placing another bundle just below the fold;
- a harsh thread (our ancestors used the same straw) tie your neck, bandaging your arms, waist, hands and feet;

From acorns and nuts
From conesAll toys from natural materialare also good because they are made from environmentally friendly improvised means. Look at the photo, how many interesting things you can make with your own hands from ordinary old cones. It is difficult to make something from young, not yet opened cones, they are very resinous.
Christmas tree toys of buttons
Every family has accumulated a lot of buttons,which can also be used to make original Christmas tree toys. Buttons can be used to make not only colorful plastic eyes that decorate soft toys, but they can also be fun crafts in themselves. All you need to do is assemble a chain of buttons by stringing them on a thread in a certain order. Entrust this work to your child. Assembling columns of buttons:
- stimulates the fine motility of his fingers;
- develops fantasy;
- relieves excess of buttons;
- increases his self-esteem, especially if he except for the figures shown, come up with something else, collected from the buttons.
