See what unusual games you will make from scrap materials at hand. They can take children on a hike, in the country, at home. Everyone knows that outdoor games are not only enjoyable but also rewarding. And if the attributes for them are made by hand, then they will become well-deserved objects of pride. Children and adults can play them in the yard, at home or in the country.
How to make a giant domino with your own hands?
Often, city dwellers are sorely lacking in traffic. You can fill this gap in the country by making unusual games. For adults, dominoes are suitable, but unusual.
You have to work hard to move such chips. But first you have to work hard to make the dominoes. For it, you will use:
- boards;
- saw;
- dark stain;
- paint brush;
- white oil paint;
- circle pattern;
- a sander or sandpaper.
Saw the planks into chips of the desired length. You will need 28 pieces. Now you need to sand the sections and the surface with a grinder or first with coarse sandpaper, then fine.
Now, successively, letting each layer dry, apply two or three coats of stain.
When the last is dry, then we proceed to an interesting marking process. If you are not aiming for a perfectly flat shape, then you can paint the separating stripes with white paint with a brush. If you want them to be perfect, then use a stencil. This item, but with a round hole, will help to add other elements to the dominoes.
Draw circles on the figures, let them dry, after which you can try the game in action.
"Tic-tac-toe" for children
Sometimes an idea for entertainment can be found almost underfoot. See how you can make Tic Tac Toe even more fun by picking up stones.
Here's what you need to use to make these extraordinary games:
- board;
- saw;
- a sheet of paper or cardboard;
- stationery knife;
- ruler;
- white oil paint;
- stones;
- Scotch;
- brush.
Saw off the board of the desired size, use tape to attach the paper template to it, but prepare it first. To do this, draw with a ruler two stripes 2 cm wide, and a couple more of the same, but perpendicular to the data. Cut through the outlines with a clerical knife.
Now apply a layer of white paint on this template attached to the board, let it dry, paint a second time.
While the playing surface dries up, let's start with the rocks. First wash them well with a brush, dry. Then draw crosses on some and zeroes on others.
You can diversify this entertainment if you paint two types of stones for insects. Ladybugs are given to one player, striped bugs to the other. The winner is the one who can quickly line up his pieces in a straight or diagonal line.
If you want to play Tic-Tac-Toe as soon as possible, but there is no suitable base, then you can use squares cut from cardboard or tiles.
Unusual games for children: master class
They can also be made from what is at hand.
For this you will need:
- plastic bag with a zipper;
- transparent hair gel;
- sequins;
- rubber figurines of fish, seaweed or pieces of plastic.
Instructions for creating:
- Use a clear plastic bag that sells pillows, other items. If you don't have one, you need 2 strong bags, which you insert one into the other, seal the hole with electrical tape on top.
- Pour transparent gel into the prepared container, pour glitter into it, shake it several times.
- If there are inhabitants of the deep sea made of rubber or similar waterproof material, place inside. If not, cut them out of thin plastic.
- It will be interesting for a child to work with such a toy, but pour the solution not to the top so that it does not seep through the upper hole.
By the same principle, you can make another unusual game.
For her you will need:
- a plastic bag with a closing device;
- colored electrical tape of different colors;
- scissors;
- dry peas, beans, or beans.
Cut the strips from the electrical tape and bend them, glue them onto the plastic bag. Place peas or other large grains inside. The child will try to drive them into an impromptu gate, at the same time will receive the first skills in mathematics, counting the seeds.
Crafts from disposable plates with your own hands
They will allow you to get attributes for games in just a few minutes. The balloon can be thrown to each other not only with your hands, but with such interesting devices.
To create you need:
- two plastic disposable plates;
- glue;
- 2 ice cream sticks;
- balloon for the game.
Glue a stick to each plate, inflate the balloon. Wait for the glue to dry, now you can play an interesting game.
Disposable plates will quickly turn into tic-tac-toe attributes. For this, the corresponding signs are drawn on the reverse side with a marker. You will quickly make a field for the game from belts from clothes or braid. These elements need to be laid out parallel and perpendicular to each other at the same distance, sewn up the places of their intersection. Then the original game is ready.
If you have a cardboard sleeve left over from disposable towels or other material, use it for your next entertainment. Also for him you need to cut out the bottom of disposable plates, paint the remaining rims, which the child will do with great pleasure.
Use adhesive tape to glue the sleeve onto the inverted plate; it is better to attach the weight on the back side. Now you need to throw the rings on the base, thereby training your accuracy. You can also use toilet paper rolls as it. After moving some distance, the child will throw rings from disposable dishes of a certain color here.
See what chic jewelry for young ladies is made from the same waste material. If you still have disposable plates after the celebration of some event, do not throw them away, wash them, dry them. From their lower part, you need to cut a rim, and from the upper: a heart, leaf, ears, star or other object.
The schemes below will simplify your task, you can make such hats for girls who will certainly love these accessories.
But for boys, you can choose a suitable model, using not a plastic, but a cardboard disposable plate. If you don't have one, you can cut the hat out of ordinary cardboard, decorate it with a stylish sticker, which is also easy to make.
If the children decide to play princes or princesses, take:
- disposable paper plates;
- scissors;
- beads;
- glue;
- pencil;
- ruler.
Using a ruler and a pencil, draw the corners from the center towards the edges, cut them out, bend them up. Stick a bead on the ends of these figures, after which you can start an exciting game.
If you need to quickly make a carnival mask, disposable plates will also help with this. Cut each in half, paint in the desired color, draw details of the face such as mouth, ears, eyes. But it is better to cut the latter in order to be able to look through the mask. Wrap a piece of paper tape around the wooden skewer. Glue to one side of the mask.
Outdoor games for children in nature
They are also made from almost nothing. For the next one you need to take:
- empty cans;
- drill or nail with a hammer;
- rope;
- scissors or knife;
- 2 spears;
- strong branch.
Step-by-step manufacturing:
- Sharpen the ends of the spears, drive them into the ground.
- Make two holes opposite each other in the cans. If you have a drill, drill them with this tool, if not, then put the can on the block, put a nail on the inside, hit it with a hammer several times. You will get a hole of the required diameter.
- Insert a rope into such, tie its ends.
- Hang the cans on the branch that you want to fasten at the ends of the spears as a horizontal bar.
- Children will throw small balls here. Let there be more points for hitting the banks that have a smaller diameter.
It is good to arrange such entertainment on a hike, using cans taken with you, opening with a ring so that their edges are not sharp. If there are no balls, take crumpled pieces of newspaper instead. Similar outdoor activities can be made from empty plastic bottles. Place them tightly together in the cardboard box that has come out. Have the children throw rings on them, competing for marksmanship.
For the next unusual game you will need:
- two plastic canisters with handles;
- two types of colored tape;
- knife;
- small ball.
In plastic containers, cut off the bottom, if you want, you can paint them with white acrylic paint. If not, then immediately attach strips of electrical tape to the bottom of the bottles. Moreover, one of them will cover the sharp cut, framing it on both sides. Now children can throw a ball to each other and catch it with such interesting devices.
Here are some other outdoor activities you can think of using cans.
Color them in. Let the child build a pyramid out of this material, and then the children will compete in accuracy, trying to hit the balls into such a container.
If you drill holes in this material, but closer to the bottom, thread a strong rope here, fix it well, then you can make such small stilts.
How to make a labyrinth with your own hands?
If the children are a little tired of outdoor games, then offer them calmer ones, let the children rest. For the next one you need to use:
- plastic or wooden tray with handles;
- wooden sticks or cocktail straws;
- glue;
- small balls.
If you take wooden sticks, then you need to paint them first. If using multi-colored cocktail sticks, don't. These materials must be placed horizontally, parallel to each other. In this case, some sticks must be shortened, others should be left the same length. Attach them in such a way that there is a small gap in each row for the ball.
Speaking about how to make a labyrinth, it should be noted that it can be more voluminous.
Make one out of strips of cardboard from a box. If you want to make a hamster maze, then use thin plywood. The child will be delighted with another cardboard maze, which boxes will help to create.
Cut rounded holes in some places so that the baby can pass. Connect the structure with tape. Such an unusual game is waiting for a child if the parents show their imagination. Do not leave him alone here, as, not finding a way out, the child may panic. Therefore, stand nearby, guide him in a calm voice, encourage, praise and support.
Here's how to make a labyrinth using cotton buds.
For this you will need:
- cotton buds;
- glue;
- a sheet of cardboard;
- colored paper;
- small ball.
First you need to prepare the base, glue colored paper onto the cardboard. Paint the cotton swabs or leave them intact. Stick on the surface so that, tilting the base, the child can drive the ball between them, direct it to the finish line. This travel destination can be made in the form of a rainbow by cutting it out of cardboard. Glue strips of different colors on top or paint with pencils.
To make it easier for you to create the maze, take a look at the following two diagrams, which show the options for the location of its obstacles.
An unusual racing track for boys
Having shown ingenuity, parents will make a road for their beloved children in the country or right at home. Let's consider street options first.
To implement this idea, take:
- shovel;
- cement;
- sand;
- water;
- thin brush;
- white oil paint.
Manufacturing instruction:
- First, you need to mark the future route, for this, outline the contour with a shovel, then using this tool, remove the sod to a depth of 7 cm.
- Pour some sand here, moisten it. Pour a solution made from water, cement and sand on top. When it is completely cured, paint the road with white oil paint.
- Even before that, when the cement has set a little, but remains pliable, you can lay small stones along the edge of the road. Fasten half of the tire from the wheel in the form of a suspension bridge.
- Make a pedestrian crossing on the road, put signs so that the child gets the first skills about the traffic rules, which will certainly come in handy in life.
They can be studied not only on the street, but also at home. See what a great multi-tiered roadway leftover toilet paper rolls can help create.
Some of them need to be cut in half lengthwise, inserted into whole elements, secured with tape, thereby connecting the individual parts into a one-piece structure. A road is drawn on the floor with chalk, after which you can release cars so that they rush along this race track with a breeze.
If there is not enough space on the floor, you can make unusual games on this topic right on the wall. To do this, you need a magnetic road, then the cars will hold on tightly to it.
The child will have the next race track thanks to his mother. The parent needs to prepare:
- a piece of burlap or other dense flesh-colored fabric;
- a piece of black cloth or a wide braid of this color;
- white thread for embroidery.
On a rectangle made of dense flesh-colored fabric, glue or wash strips of black in the form of car tracks. Previously, or at this stage, you need to embroider a dividing strip on them with white threads. The child will be happy to play here.
If you need to quickly occupy the baby, come up with a new entertainment, then glue an electrical tape of a contrasting color to the carpet to turn it into a car road.
If you are not afraid to damage the sofa, then attach electrical tape not only to the floor, but also here. The result is a two-level race track.
- If you are relaxing with a child at sea, he is bored on the beach, first grab some paint here.
- Find flat and bulky stones. Some of them need to be turned into a road, others into cars, buses that will travel on it.
- Color other stones with your child to make small houses, traffic lights, traffic signs out of them.
So, practically out of nothing, you can create unusual games, thereby keeping your child busy for a while. The main thing is to be smart or use the ideas already proposed. If you want to get acquainted with others, then watch the proposed videos.
The first tells how to make a funny toy that draws itself.
The second plot will tell you how to quickly make an interesting game from waste materials that even a child can create.
