For any child, dad is the main protector and support. Therefore, on Defender of the Fatherland Day, dad must be congratulated. Let’s figure out what kind of gift dad can make on February 23rd.
If the children are adults and independent, then they can choose a gift in the store. It can be any thing that will please him. And if the children are still schoolchildren or kindergarten pupils, then the best option from a daughter or from a son is a homemade gift. Kids can draw a card for dad or make a gift out of plasticine. Well, schoolchildren are already able to prepare a more complex and interesting surprise.
Preschool Gifts
Kids can make a gift to dad on February 23 at the age of three to four years. Of course, at first they will need the help of their mother or older children. What gift ideas can dad offer?
The younger and middle group of the kindergarten is the time when the child has few skills, but his creative abilities are at their best. Do not offer the child ready-made solutions, let him show imagination by doing a craft
Applications
The most common version of crafts for this age is applique. Mom or elder brother (sister) can cut out various elements from colored paper, and the baby will independently stick them on the base. There are other options. For example, you can give your child a finished outline drawing printed on a printer and colored adhesive tapes. The baby cuts off pieces of duct tape and sticks along the outline of the drawing, creating a color picture.
An interesting option - pictures of cereals. This is a great version of the crafts that a three-year-old can do. To do the job, you need a base - a thick sheet of paper or thin cardboard, on which you will need to apply a drawing in advance. In addition, you will need glue stick and several types of cereals of different colors, for example, buckwheat, rice, corn grits, etc.
The baby's task is to grease the paper with glue, trying not to go beyond the contours of the intended pattern, and then pour the groats of the desired color into the area smeared with glue. For fastening, you can press lightly on top with your palm. After the glue dries a little, you will need to shake off the grains that have not stuck. To complete the gift, it is worth preparing a picture of cereals of the corresponding subject. For example, a boat or plane. Since fine motor skills are not well developed in three-year-old children, it is worth choosing drawings that do not contain a large number of small elements.
Children aged 4-5 years (the older group of kindergarten) can do more complex crafts. Surely, in the kindergarten during the classes for the holiday, a postcard or crafts will be made, but you can prepare a gift for dad at home with your child.
For example, make an application of napkins. To make this craft, you need a sheet of thick paper (base) on which you can draw or print a contour drawing. In addition, napkins are required. You can take colored napkins or use white ones, and then paint them with paints. But the last option is more complicated.
Napkins need to be cut into small squares (the side of the square is 4 cm), and roll small balls from them. Then you need to grease the base with glue and stick balls from napkins, placing them close to each other. If colored napkins are used, then immediately put them in place, according to the figure. If the napkins are white, then the application is done first. And after the glue dries, with the help of paints (it is better to use gouache), it will be possible to apply a picture.
Ship
A nice version of a gift to dad by February 23 from a child is a sailboat. The craft is simple, a child of 4-5 years old will cope with its manufacture.
To make crafts, you will need:
- clean foam sponge for dishes;
- a toothpick and longer wooden skewers;
- crepe paper or thin tissue such as organza;
- bright ribbon;
- pVA glue.
First of all, you need to make a workpiece from a sponge, for this, on the one hand, you need to cut the corners so that the front of the sponge becomes a triangle. Then a long wooden skewer is inserted into the center of the workpiece from the sponge. “Sails” are put on the skewer. It is best to make them from crepe paper by cutting out three rectangles of different sizes from it. The first sail is put on the largest sail first, then the smaller rectangle, the smallest element will be the top one. The top of the skewer is decorated with a flag cut out of a bright ribbon (a flag is attached to the glue). In front of the sail, a toothpick is inserted into the sponge, to which a small square of paper is glued with a congratulatory inscription: “Since February 23”.
Kids can make a boat out of paper. For crafts need:
- a sheet of paper - white or colored at your discretion;
- colored paper for a flag;
- cocktail roll or toothpick;
- glue;
- a small piece of plasticine;
- scissors.
This is an origami craft. Folding a boat out of paper is quite simple, you need to:
- fold a rectangular sheet in half;
- unfold the sheet with the fold up, and wrap the corners on both sides towards the center, making sure that the corners are the same;
- under the bent corners we still have free edges, first you need to bend the upper strip up, carefully smoothing the fold, then turning the craft on the other side, just turn the second strip in the same way;
- now gently open our triangle from the bottom and fold the corners so that we get a rhombus;
- then we raise the upper lower corner of our rhombus, bend it in half, and smooth it by combining the lower and upper corners. We turn the craft over and similarly bends the second corner;
- deploy it again to make a rhombus again. Next, take the upper corners and stretch them to the sides, we get a boat;
- now we cut a flag out of colored paper, glue it on a toothpick or a cocktail tube. It remains to install the "flagpole" on the boat, you can fix it on a piece of plasticine.
Tank
To complete the crafts you will need:
- 6 empty matchboxes;
- green paper;
- glue stick;
- black cardboard;
- thin black braid;
- scotch.
Making craftsand:
- fasten with a tape 4 box for the tank and two for the tower;
- glue the blanks with green paper;
- with the help of black braid, which we glue over the edges of the body blank, we form the tracks;
- now you can glue the workpieces of the hull and tower;
- the most difficult moment is the manufacture of the gun, it is necessary to wrap a felt-tip pen with green paper and glue the resulting tube along the edge;
- we cut one end of the tube and glue our gun to the tower;
- now it remains to decorate our craft, cut the “wheels” out of black cardboard, stick them to the body, make a red star. You can decorate our tank with a flag.
Gifts from primary school students
Elementary school is a difficult time for a child. During this period, he masters a lot of new information and acquires all new skills. Therefore, homemade gifts to the pope by February 23 will be more and more complicated and interesting.
Photo Frame
Children attending 1st grade can use their mother or older children to make a beautiful photo frame for their dad as a gift.
To work, you will need:
- thick cardboard (for the base);
- color thin cardboard (for a template);
- colored paper or cardboard (for jewelry);
- scissors;
- glue;
- pencil and ruler.
A template for a photo frame needs to be made out of color cardboard (when doing this work, a first-grader will most likely need help). Now you need to draw by hand or print on the printer parts to design the frame. Options for jewelry can be any, for example, in the upper part of the frame you can stick images of clouds and gulls, and below - sea waves and boats sailing on them. But you can, of course, use any other design options.
We cut out the design details from colored paper and paste them on the prepared photo frame template.
Now you need to make the base frame of thick cardboard. To do this, cut a rectangle equal in size to the template of our photo frame (this will be the back of the product). For stability, you need to make a leg, which we attach to the back of the frame. It remains to connect the base and the template, having previously inserted the family photo inside, and our gift is ready.
You can do it easier - to buy a simple wooden photo frame without decor, such a product is inexpensive. And then arrange the frame as you wish. For decoration, you can use not only colored paper and cardboard, but also any other items - ribbons, lace, beads, coins, etc.
Salty Dough Souvenirs
Children attending Grade 2 can prepare a useful present for dad - a keychain from salt dough. When preparing the test, you may need the help of adults. You need to mix 300 grams of flour and ordinary coarse salt. Then gradually pour 200 ml of cold water into the mixture, kneading a fairly steep dough.
To make a keychain, we need:
- a template made of cardboard, the shape of the keychain can be different, for example, it can be made in the form of the initial letter of the name of the pope;
- a finished key ring with a carbine (from an old keychain);
- various small things for decoration - small nuts, screws, springs, coins, etc.
- water based varnish.
First of all, you need to prepare a template from thick cardboard, for example, in the form of the initial letter of the name of the pope. In the corner of the template, you need to make a hole with the scissors or hole punch for attaching the keychain carbine.
We wet the cardboard blank with water so that the dough does not stick to the mold. We roll a thick sausage from the dough and distribute it according to the pattern as evenly as possible. With a thin knife or awl we make a hole in the mold from the dough for the ring.
Using a brush, we moisten the surface of the dough with water and lay the prepared decorations on the surface, slightly pressing them inward. We leave our blank for several days to dry. To speed up the process, you can alternate drying in the oven (at 50 degrees) and in the air. From the finished product, we separate the cardboard blank. Our keychain can be painted in any color, and then varnished.
In addition, you can make other crafts from salt dough - various souvenirs and panels.
Postcards
Homemade postcards are always relevant. If kids make cards using appliqués, then students attending grade 3 can use more sophisticated techniques - origami, quilling, etc.
For example, you can make a postcard in the form of an officer uniform or shirt with a tie. Volumetric postcards look beautiful.
Tasty "tank"
If you want to congratulate your dad in an original and unusual way, then you can make a tank for him using food products.
The base of the hull is 3-4 cans of drinks, for example, Coca-Cola or Sprite. They need to be fastened to each other with double-sided tape and wrapped with a strip of colored paper. The bottoms and tops of the cans should remain open, they will represent the wheels.
The tank tower can be assembled from rectangular or square candies, fastening them with double-sided tape. Wrap the finished blank with colored paper. It remains to make the cannon of our tank, for this it is worth using candies in packaging in the form of a tube, for example, Rondo refreshing candies. We wrap the sweets with colored paper and fasten to our tower on double-sided tape. Such a funny gift will surely please dad.
Pencil holder
Using materials at hand, a 3-4th grade student may well make a cute pencil box as a gift to dad. The basis of the craft will be a shiny tin can. You need to remove the label from the can.
For decorating cans, you can use various objects - nuts, washers, screws, caps, wire in colored insulation. You can, for example, decorate a jar so that it looks like a cute robot. Fix decorative parts to the jar with a glue gun.
Gifts from children of middle and senior school age
Homemade gifts can be made not only by kids. Older students can also please their dad with interesting handmade gifts.
Candy Souvenirs
If your dad loves sweets, then he can be presented with a sweet souvenir from sweets. Bouquets are made of sweets for women, and a man should prepare a thematic gift by February 23.
The easiest option is shoulder straps, even a child of 10-12 years old will cope with its production. For crafts, you will need:
- cardboard blanks in the form of rectangles, the sizes of “shoulder straps” are selected depending on the size of the candies that you plan to use;
- your dad’s favorite sweets; candies must be rectangular;
- colored paper green;
- some gold paper;
- thin red ribbon;
- double-sided tape or glue gun.
Completing of the work:
- we wrap cardboard blanks with green paper;
- on double-sided tape or with a glue gun glue candies on the entire surface of cardboard blanks;
- make gaps from the ribbons;
- from gold paper, cut out the stars and stick them on top. The number and size of stars depends on what rank you want to assign the recipient of the gift.
If you already have experience in making souvenirs from sweets, you can take on the manufacture of more complex souvenirs. For example, you can make a model of a tank or a sailboat.
Notebook
The basis of this gift, that is, the notebook itself, needs to be bought in the store, and in order for the gift to become unique, it will be necessary to work on the design of its cover. You can use different techniques to decorate the cover.
You can stick thick paper on the cover and decorate it with applique using photographs. You can cover the cover with cloth or leather.
Case for mobile
You can sew a cover for a mobile device from thin felt. To make a pattern, you need to put the device on the fabric and circle it along the contour. Then make allowances for seams 1.5 cm wide.
It is necessary to carve two identical parts. Before you start stitching them, the front side needs to be decorated. You can use embroidery or applique. You can make a cover in the form of epaulettes or embroider dad's monogram on it.
After the decoration is completed, you will need to stitch the two parts together with a neat seam over the edge. Girls who can sew can make a more complex version of the cover - with a fastening valve.
Car Fragrance
In order to smell pleasantly in the interior of my father’s car, you can make a funny toy-flavoring yourself. The basis will be a toy made of soft felt. The shape of the toy can be any. The simplest options are simply a circle or an asterisk of felt. But you can sew a more interesting option, for example, an owl or a kitten figurine. Girls who are fond of this type of needlework, such as dry felting, can make any toy in this technique.
You need to sew a ribbon to the finished toy so that it can be hung on a mirror or in another convenient place in the car interior. And in order for our toy to smell pleasantly, it will be necessary to put a few drops of essential oil on it. Do not overdo it! Essential oils are a concentrated product, so you do not need to pour a whole bottle on a toy. Better then, when the toy "loses" its aroma, again apply a few drops.
Gifts with photo
You can make memorable souvenirs with your own hands using photographs from the family archive. The easiest option for such a souvenir is a festive wall newspaper. To make it, you need a piece of paper, photographs, felt-tip pens and your imagination.
For example, you can call the wall newspaper "Papa is the pride of our family." Place photos on the Whatman paper, provide them with relevant comments. If you have the ability, you can write poems dedicated to the pope.
To make the newspaper look attractive, pre-paint the sheet with paints or felt-tip pens, making room for notes and photographs. If you have a younger brother or sister, then they too can take part in the design of the newspaper. For example, on the perimeter of the newspaper you can make a "border" from the prints of children's hands.
Another option for a souvenir is a thematic photo album. To make it, you need to buy the simplest photo album. Its cover will need to be decorated at its discretion. For example, it can be covered with velvet and decorated with embroidery.
Inside the album you need to place photos of dad with comments. You can, for example, illustrate the story of his life by placing on the front pages children's photos of dad. And then arrange the photo in chronological order. Each photo can be accompanied by a funny or touching comment.
Delicious gifts
Adolescent children can surprise their dad by preparing him a delicious gift. For example, you can bake curly cookies. You can cook the dough yourself or buy in a store. From the finished dough you need to cut out cookies with cookie cutters, it is better to use forms in the form of stars or, for example, airplanes. Ready cookies can be sprinkled with icing sugar or garnished with icing. A more complicated gift option is a holiday cake with the appropriate design.
If dad doesn't like sweets, then you can bake pizza or pie for him. Or prepare a salad or any other dish that dad will like. The main thing is to arrange it in accordance with the theme of the holiday. For example, you can decorate a pie with numbers 23 cut out of dough. And decorate a salad with asterisks cut out of red pepper.
Finally
Parents should teach their children that giving presents is no less pleasant than receiving them.
Making homemade gifts for relatives is a great way to express your love. In addition, such homemade products allow you to develop imagination and practical skills that are sure to come in handy in life.
Dad is the most beloved man in the life of every child, and no matter how old the son or daughter is, the father always remains the main man and protector. In no case should you leave your beloved daddy on February 23 without a gift. Adult children can buy a father a useful, but not necessarily expensive thing, and children would like to be advised to make a gift with their own hands.
DIY gifts for dad
Young children can make a beautiful three-dimensional card for their beloved dad using not only paints and pencils, but also other improvised materials: buttons, ribbons, fabrics. To make the gift applique look individual, it is recommended to supplement it with dad's and your photos.
Girls who have learned to work with felt will be able to make cozy felt slippers for their father in a couple of evenings, and if possible, make them in the form of pretty tanks. If you don’t have time for slippers, you can dump a small toy that dad will hang in the car. It’s even easier to create leather crafts; these can be key chains, glasses cases or document covers.
So that dad can proudly demonstrate the gift of children at work, you need to make a stand for pens and stationery with your own hands.
