Bullfinch crafts.

It may not turn out as expected, you may be upset with the result. Secondly, remember: bullfinch is made with a child, not to show off adult abilities.

Consequently, the craft should be made in accordance with the child's skills so that the complexity was half a level higher. The child has to strive and develop, rather than use already developed abilities.

Start with ready-made diagrams so that none of the steps of the work are a surprise.

Reflect on the materials. You can use:

Plasticine
Paper
felt
Cardboard
Wool
Cloth
Beads

Natural materials (e.g. cones, twigs, spruce needles, or dried berries).

In fact, the choice of material is guided by imagination or a ready-made scheme.

From a paper base

From paper, felt or cardboard you can make the simplest version of the work. It is possible to buy blanks, on which parts of the bird of different colors are cut out and fastened together.

Performing such a fake, do not forget about the entourage and the background. To make the craft more lively and interesting, use a different kind of materials. For example, twigs on which the bullfinches sit, cones, nuts, which will always be reminiscent of what these birds eat. It is only necessary to show your imagination, and an interesting picture lines up itself.

If you choose a more complicated type of work, you can make a mosaic. Just take the right colors of paper and tear them into small pieces. Take the base, and make a pencil marking, draw a final picture. And already on it to glue the pieces of paper.

Bullfinch in clay

Make a model of a bullfinch out of clay. To begin with is to think through the basis of the figure. It will be flat or three-dimensional. If the volume, so later think volume background for the bullfinch and then, on what will be allotted. If flat, you need to choose a base and its geometric shape. You can use an old plate, a piece of cardboard, etc. as a base.

Next, you need to heat the material and begin working. On a flat surface, be sure to do the background first and only then the bird. If you do the opposite, the background can be sloppy or do not work at all.

Bullfinch toy

Such a fake is worth doing with older kids. Familiarize them with more complex and dangerous tools. For example, a needle. A bullfinch can be sewn from fabric. And the most skilled needleworkers resort to felting in wool, but it is quite time-consuming. So the child through such a game is accustomed to the basic basics of sewing. You can make a crafts snowbird out of pompom.

Very well you can train a child to perseverance, if you teach him to knit at least a crochet. And to worry that you do not know how to crochet a bird and can not explain it, do not worry. The Internet is full of video tutorials about crocheting, as well as schemes of how to crochet a bullfinch or any other item.

If you have more than one child in the family and there is a very young one among them, you can create a lullaby toy with snowbirds with the older ones. So for the youngest child there is an expansion of the horizons, and for the older in addition to improving various skills is instilled care for younger siblings.

Just after making a few snowbird toys, make a base out of sticks in the shape of a cross or a figure with a bunch of branches. Attach the finished toys on strings to the base so that they hang down. Make a mount for this design and can safely hang over the crib of your baby.
