Creation of the Gorodok playground for the purpose of organizing leisure activities for children of preschool and primary school age, developing and improving the physical qualities of children, instilling interest in a healthy lifestyle and sports.

It is important to understand that the physical development of preschool children is the key to the formation of a successful personality of a future athlete.

The relevance of the project lies in the fact that as a result of the creation of a children's playground in the village of Parfyonovo, a number of important tasks will be solved:

• organization of leisure activities for children of preschool and primary school age;

It should be noted the important role of the children's playground for parents engaged in subsidiary farming. 90% of the villagers are engaged in the cultivation of personal subsidiary plots, since for many this is the only source of income, and they most often do not have enough time for the full development of the child, and children are sometimes left to their own devices. This site will operate year-round. Summer is a playground with a sandbox, two types of swings, a hand walker, a mini-basketball court and equipment for the development of children's general motor skills, and in winter there is an ice slide and snow figures.

Threatening statistics of deaths of children on roads, water bodies in autumn and spring, children's pranks with fire make us think about the safety of young children. A children's playground will be located in an open area opposite the apartment building, allowing adults to supervise the children.

The site will allow children to be occupied and protected from dangerous rash acts and situations that threaten their health.

Formulation of the problem

The increased birth rate of recent years, actively supported by the Government of the Russian Federation, makes us think about the employment and leisure of our young children. In large cities of the region, programs for the construction of children's playgrounds and kindergartens are being actively implemented, but unfortunately, officials did not remember rural children, so the question is to create a playground for children in the fresh air, under the sun, where every child can come and spend their free time. Not every parent can afford to rest in health-improving institutions with small children, and younger schoolchildren can rest in a children's institution outside the village. And the playground will be a local island of children's recreation, fun and laughter, every child of the village will be able to come there. Moreover, this project will be used all year round. In winter, it will be a corner of children's creativity, where children will be able to build snow figures and ice slides under the guidance of adults.

Goals and objectives of the project

aim The project is the organization of leisure activities for children of preschool and primary school age in the village. Parfyonovo.

Tasks:

• Development and improvement of the physical and spiritual qualities of the child's personality;
• promotion of healthy lifestyles;
• the formation of a sense of collectivism, joint gaming activities;
• holding various competitions, such as "The Best Snow Figure", and outdoor games.

Achieving the set goals, the mechanism for implementing the project.

At the beginning of the project implementation, a meeting of the initiative group will be held, where the work plan for the project is negotiated and adopted.

The area where the playground will be located is littered with garbage and is in an unsanitary condition. During the implementation of the project, the area will be cleared of debris and weeds, flower beds will be laid out, benches for parents to rest will be laid out, and it will acquire a proper aesthetic appearance. Two support towers will be built with a transition, a ladder for climbing and various built-in structures: a metal handle for developing and training hands, two metal Swedish ladders for coordinating the upper and lower limbs, a small metal horizontal bar, a swing with a rigid suspension for developing coordination abilities, a metal slide . And also on the territory adjacent to the main structure there will be a square-shaped sandbox with an area of ​​3 m2 and a swing "Horse" for two swingers.

Behind all this are the specific heads of children's institutions, the director of the MOU SOSH Tarabrina O.A. , head of MDOU Martynova I.I., author of the project Chernykh E.V., initiative group, local governments headed by Bashkirov A.N.

The grand opening will be timed to coincide with the All-Russian holiday "Children's Day" and guests of the CRMO, youth politics and sports, representatives of the Charitable Foundation "Revival of the Siberian Land" will be invited.

The head of the settlement is interested in the implementation of the project, a lot of children and their parents will be involved in the implementation of the project and will help its implementation with their voluntary unpaid work.

The experience gained in the creation of the Gorodok Playground can be extended to the entire territory of the Cheremkhovo district.

Evaluation of results

1. The cultural level in the countryside will rise.
2. Joint activities of children and their parents will help to establish contact and lead to emotional balance.
3. A cultural object will appear in the village, attractively aesthetically designed.

Further development of the project

The safety and operation of the facility will be ensured by the residents of the house No. 2 st.

Youth from among the initiative group, villagers. It is planned to hold children's competitions and holidays with the involvement of the largest number of children from the village. And in winter, a joint event for the construction of a snow town and participation in the annual competition "The best snow figure of the village" will be organized for children and adults. All this contributes to the year-round involvement of this children's playground.

If there are small children in the family, they definitely need to build and subsequently equip an outdoor playground. Such play areas are an indispensable object on the territory of a private house or cottage.

While the kids are playing outdoors, adults can relax or do housework. As soon as the parents are free, they can always join the children.

An open play area can be made much more interesting, more fun and colorful if you make crafts for the playground. It is not necessary to buy ready-made garden decorations, because there are a lot of exciting ideas that can be easily implemented.

Tire dinosaur

Bottle palms and a plastic zoo

Perfect for making crafts and decorations for the playground.

If you collect bottles of different shapes and sizes, you can make very interesting compositions: palm trees, animal figurines, flowers and other objects. Try making an exotic palm tree corner or a fun menagerie.

It is very easy to make, for example, a piglet: a five-liter bottle is suitable for the body, and two-liter bottles for the limbs. The ears and tail are also cut out of plastic.

The bottle flower garden looks original: cut the necks in the form of bells and other flowers, and the leaves will be bases without a bottom, cut into several parts.

Decorate the bottles with paints and fix in the right places. Such decorations are very practical: they will not deteriorate either from rain or from the sun.

The palm tree is made as follows: the bottom is cut out from the bottles, after which the blanks are strung on top of each other. A metal rod is placed inside the bottles - the base of the tree. The crown consists of one or more bottles, cut from the bases to the necks into strips-leaves.

The strips need to be cut obliquely so that they look like real palm leaves. The crown bottle is inserted with the neck into the barrel. To do without paint, you can use brown and green bottles.

Plywood is an ideal material for making flat figures. On it you can draw everything that your imagination tells you: heroes from films, characters from cartoons, etc. The figures are cut out, painted and placed on the site.

You can create a whole composition from individual elements or paint a bright picture on a large white piece of plywood. Such a picture can be used as a demarcation fence for areas in the garden.

Mounting foam is not used as often as plastic or plywood for playground decoration, but, nevertheless, very interesting compositions can be made from it.

Foam figures look like toys, they look great and kids love them. From foam, you can make any shape, which is then decorated.

Animal figurines from boulders

Large boulders and pebbles are a suitable find for decorating a playground. Round stones are decorated with bright colors, resulting in funny bugs, hedgehogs and other animals.

For stones, it is better to take acrylic paints, which are then covered with a transparent varnish. Pictures with clear contours look interesting.

The outline is first drawn in pencil, then in black or white. The space between the lines is filled with colored paints. From several boulders, you can make a whole family of hedgehogs or ladybugs.

Combining materials - a flight of fancy

Logs of various shapes and sizes are great for decorating children's play corners. Many materials go well with each other: logs or tires and bottles.

From bottles you can make a beautiful fence for a lawn or flower bed in the form of animals, plants and insects. Try to involve the child in the creative process: children always have several original ideas and solutions ready.

If there was an old sawn tree in the garden, do not rush to uproot the stump. A funny figure or a whole house with a door, a roof and windows will come out of it. It is not only fun for children, but also a wonderful decorative element for the garden.

A bright, positive composition can be made from bottles and a small tire. Nail bottle caps around the tire, then screw bottles into them - you get a cheerful sun.

Do not rush to get rid of unused building materials after repair. So, for example, ornate paths or the space around the figures can be laid out with pieces of ceramic tiles. Broken tiles are useful for laying out mosaics and depicting fairy-tale characters.

Draw the outline of the shape on the path, then lay it out with tile pieces. In order for the composition to be durable, it must be laid out on a cement composition. Do not forget to wipe the seams after drying.

In the video, interesting ideas for decorating a playground with your own hands:

This is an essential element of any children's play area. Babies like to have their own corner to hide in. are log and frame. The interior design depends on the imagination of the parents and the child.

Pergolas from climbing plants

If it is not possible to build a wooden house, you can take note of an alternative option: a frame is made of wire, and any climbing plants (bindweeds, grapes, etc.) start around it. Such an arbor pleases the eye of both adults and kids.

Stump decoration

All ideas for the design of stumps can not be counted. Here are the most popular of them: the old forest man and the fly agaric mushroom.

When the bells ring back under a gust of wind, an unusual, fabulous feeling immediately arises. You can make them from iron bottle caps and unnecessary keys.

Make a cozy nest of branches with your baby and place a decorative bird or butterfly in it. Fix the composition on the tree.

A butterfly made together with a child contributes to the development of motor skills and creative abilities. You can make it from beads, clothespins and thick threads.

If you attach a pin to the back of the butterfly, it can be used as a decoration for clothes or curtains.

How else can you decorate a playground or a country yard - a photo selection:

Boxes and baby shoes

A wonderful pirate ship will come out of a cardboard box. You can also make decorative fences and dividers from boxes and unnecessary shoes.

Materials for decorating a children's play area can be very different: from trees and stumps, to old shoes and empty bottles. The main thing is to show imagination and desire.

The Japanese mascot Miki House visited the Luka Festival as part of his car rally to promote children's and family event tourism. This summer, not only the traditional regulars of the festival, but also fans of the popular composition came to the tenth anniversary festival in Lukh to personally get acquainted with the author of the hit, Oleg Oparin. According to various estimates, up to 6,000 guests gathered at the Luk-Luchok festival. This is the most massive event that has ever taken place in the village of Lukh. For the first time on...

Moms, please share your experience. It's time for my baby to start drawing (we are 1 and 6). I think it will be interesting for him. But how to do it right. The fact is that he puts everything in his mouth, in addition, his comrade is impulsive. Therefore, ordinary pencils and felt-tip pens will not work for us. What is the best place to start? And how to avoid painted wallpaper?

Discussion

Thank you moms, so many tips. :) Last night I bought wax crayons. And all evening my Arkharovian sat at the table, busy drawing. I was amazed, I just did not expect such enthusiasm. And they didn’t try to chew, and they didn’t tear the paper - they just sat and drew. I only first showed why I drew crayons, a couple of flowers and bunnies. Plush immediately understood everything. The only problem was to remove the crayons at the end, we didn’t want to give them away, we barely switched our attention. Do you think 2 hours in a row is not a lot for a baby? Or will it pass? By the way, today we are one and a half years old. Hooray. :)))

In my opinion, at first the child should be captivated by the drawing process itself, and for this he must see how his mother draws or writes, for example. We tried to draw with gouache, watercolor, felt-tip pens, pencils, just a pen. The child most of all likes the felt-tip pens in the album, sometimes the watercolors in the bathroom on the walls (very convenient to wash :)) and takes my pen away as soon as he sees what I am writing.

Little artist - drawing lessons

Flowers can be seen in the paintings of many famous artists. Painters saw the soul in flowers, compared them with people. That is why these paintings are considered treasures of world art. Priceless canvases were created more than 100 years ago by the artist Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh often painted flowers: branches of flowering apple trees, chestnut trees, acacias, almond trees, roses, oleanders, daisies. The flower, according to the artist, symbolizes appreciation and gratitude. In his "flower" paintings, Vincent sought...

Once upon a time I saw on sale albums for drawing for children 6-8 years old (somewhere at that age). The meaning was as follows: the child was given only the DIRECTION of activity, and he had to come up with and draw it himself. Well, for example, "You dreamed of a terrible, terrible monster. Draw it" or a picture of the seabed is given - sand, fish, shells. And it says something like "A scientific expedition went to explore the seabed in a new super-modern submarine. Draw it." Those. there were also...

Discussion

Bought. I tell everyone who is interested.
The album consists of 50 worksheets. Leaves are thin. But the task is only on one side. The album is glued, i.e., probably, if desired, it can be "dragonized" into separate sheets. And even xerox them, if for a group of children.
The books are all equivalent, i.e. You can't say that this one is for girls and this one is for boys. So you can take any.
Here, for example, tasks from the purple book:
What is your very first memory?
Guess what these kids found? (children bend over something)
The king and queen live in the grandest castle you can imagine (given a king and queen and an empty seat)
You were asked to design swings and slides for a new playground in the park
What do you pray about before bed?
And here is the most beautiful cake in the world (there is a cake base)
Think of costumes and scenery for your favorite fairy tale (view of the stage from the auditorium)
What's the funniest face you can make? (hand holding a mirror)
When you put a seashell to your ear, what do you think about?
What's the most amazing idea that came to your mind?
You invented the best slot machine in the world (machine outline)
Design a t-shirt (outline of a t-shirt)
What do you see when you look at the fire? (dotted contours of the fire in the furnace)
What poster would you carry on a protest march?

Tell me, when does the child begin to draw interpretable drawings, when does the scribble period end? What is a deviation from the norm? A child (a boy, a little over three years old, 3.3) draws enthusiastically with colored pencils, in principle he can draw something oval, he can draw a straight line, but he doesn’t draw anything else. What is it - a developmental delay or will it still sketch like ordinary children? How to help draw? Books "Karapuz" do not help, draws incomprehensibly what, does not see the difference between his ...

Discussion

It's not stupid. :) At the age of 3, it is still very difficult for a child to draw from a model and perceive the model as something to be imitated.

My child (he is now 6.5 years old) is just now starting to work according to the model. So far, he draws only terrible scribbles. But he likes to draw point by point, just now they have learned to practically not go beyond the contour during coloring.

I don’t know who told you that since he can’t draw, he’s definitely stupid, but such a definition is unjustified. I never knew how to draw, neither in childhood, nor now. However, I finished school with a medal, and an institute with a red diploma.

The ability to draw is not an indicator. But if you want to develop it, then this is another question.

My (almost 6) only now began to receive objects remotely reminiscent of them:) a house, a tree, a little man. Although he has been drawing for almost a year :) In my opinion, this has nothing to do with mental abilities, rather, it is connected with insufficient hand control, we started with simple figures - a circle, a square ... It would be more time, you look and successes would be better :) unfortunately, I don’t have time, but my mother-in-law began to study with him according to drawings for preschoolers and shifts were outlined :)

I notice that all my attempts to involve Lesha in drawing are not successful. Here's what we tried: 1) drawing on a magnetic board; 2) drawing on paper with ordinary pencils, wax pencils or felt-tip pens; 3) drawing with multi-colored crayons on the street. It all comes down to the fact that Lesha makes two or three movements with a pencil (chalk or the like), gives it to me and asks to draw a car. I draw him a car, a tractor, the sun, trees, etc. And now I suggest that he draw himself. What does he...

Discussion

As I understand! We have a similar situation, despite the fact that we started drawing early on, the results were not enough. He is not interested in his work, he refuses to sculpt, glue applications very rarely (only purchased Velcro - with a bang). I ate crayons, threw away pencils. We draw with paints, but rarely agrees ... all the advice given below is very practical.
And yet, we went to the studio, I am more than sure that in the team he will begin to draw.
By the way, yours is the same as my early gossip talker, if I'm not mistaken. I wonder if it's somehow related? Other interests, a way of interacting with the world?

To the machine post.
For a very long time, sheets of drawing paper lay on the floor in the kitchen. On a smaller area, the daughter did not agree to draw. :)
And the crayons were thick, from IKEA. Everything that was smaller, she methodically broke into small pieces and then left. :)
Also painted like this. I am a circle - a head, a daughter - a dash - a nose or a scribble - hair. So together they made funny pictures. :)

A neurologist looked at my daughter ... I drank Phenibut for 2 months, I didn’t see any sense for the second month, the feeling that, on the contrary, the brain began to slow down. Canceled - sleep again restless. I saw a neurologist like a slight tremor, MMD put. And when I decided to show the drawings, I already indicated a developmental delay: (I, of course, often see a lag of 1-2 years in behavior, but I was still upset. Does she really have to draw? She draws mostly stone, strokes, squiggles, the sun like at the age of 2. She prescribed glycine and ...

Discussion

don’t really believe it :) my 7.5 draws like that, despite the fact that he has time at school, he learned to read in less than a year
and the school psychologist takes care of everything :)

In our garden, the floor of the group draws like this. My daughter at the age of three did not know how to hold a pencil in her hands, I enrolled her in drawing classes, that's where I heard enough of what she should have been able to do ... Now we have learned. Can I brag a little?

Is it normal to promise a child a gift (well, say, a candy or a cartoon to show) for him to draw something (glue, blind, build, etc.). Let me explain. When I ask my son (he will soon be 4 years old) to draw something, the answer I usually hear is I DON'T WANT. If I persuade him to sit next to me and draw together, then he draws spirals on a sheet of paper to infinity - how can you not beg him to draw something else (I draw suns and houses nearby). Once I tried to promise him for...

Discussion

My friend's daughter didn't want to draw in any way. In the kindergarten, drawing work is like everyone else's (well, the teachers helped :). It turned out that, firstly, she is left-handed, and, secondly, she does not know how to hold a pencil at all. In short, a pencil was inserted into her right hand and she suffered, suffered, and flatly began to refuse to draw.
Here are some other reasons :)

It seems to me that it is useless to stimulate creative activities, they either like it or not, at the age of 10 mine draws at the level of a 3-year-old child with a pencil and not bad with a brush and paints :) well, I won’t force him to draw in pencil?

The situation is as follows: my daughter (1.10) and I started going to classes in a group with one very well-known and respected teacher (the name doesn’t matter, I want to discuss not a person, but a specific issue). During the lesson, children are offered various games, exercises, etc., incl. drawing. At home, my daughter draws a lot with a pen, crayons, pencils (we have not yet reached the paints), but here at the next lesson she was offered watercolors. And here a dilemma arose - at home I always let her get up with paper and ...

Discussion

Although, I do not agree about dances and music (IMHO - things of the same order - the daughter, on her own initiative, selflessly "dances", and "sings", and rattles on the piano). I agree that it is necessary to learn to draw, but "from a certain moment", not too early. Today, my husband and I discussed this issue and came to the conclusion that, apparently, a sign that it is time to purposefully teach - a drawing from interesting and unusual turns into a clamped template - according to our observations of other children, this is about 5-6 years old. But, of course, everyone is different. And one more conclusion - not to teach at all - does not mean that the child will draw amazingly, an example is your obedient servant :))) - a chicken with a paw will scratch it better. I can’t say that this fact interferes with my life, but it doesn’t help - that’s for sure!

Aquarius, are you not in St. Petersburg? And then I have the same feeling after a lesson with our "famous" teacher. It also doesn’t allow to scribble, you have to keep the child’s hand in yours and draw on a given topic: they sang a song about the rain and kindly draw the rain. We don’t go to her anymore - I don’t like it when they pull me up (I’m so sensitive here).

My son is 5, but he started to draw in such a way that it looked like something quite recently. And here they recently drew attention to the fact that, for example, he drew a tractor without lifting his pencil from a sheet of paper. Does it mean anything?

Discussion

Did he draw without lifting his hand, just a tractor or a lot of drawings?

Unfortunately, I am not a psychologist, but it happened to us - it went away by itself. And many more strange things. For example, at the beginning of the drawing, a bunch of felt-tip pens lies on the right, he takes each one in turn, draws only one line and puts it on the left, until the bunch on the right disappears and appears on the left. Somehow everything went by itself.

I just read an article to which there was a link not so long ago and questions immediately surfaced that bother me from time to time. Is it always true that children should scribble themselves up to a certain point and they don’t need to impose anything (give a pattern), because this limits them? My daughter, two years old, usually chirps a little, then gives me a pencil and asks me to draw something on the same sheet. What am I doing? Of course, I draw patterns: the sun is in the sky, the cloud, it is raining from the cloud, from the earth ...

Discussion

I didn't show mine HOW to draw. Firstly, with all my love for art, I cannot draw, and secondly, she sees enough drawings in children's books. There, after all, drawings are just at the children's level - the sun, the house, the paths ... I showed these pictures, drew my daughter's attention to color, shape. And she gave paints for a year - finger paints first, and then gouache and watercolor. She also draws the purest abstraction, but at the same time she captures some inner essence of the drawing, the nature of the colors and the mixing of colors, she herself says what each blot looks like. He also draws flowers. The fallen leaves are now outlined and painted, making prints from them.
But here's how to do it right - to show template schemes or not, I don't know. Itself would be happy to read the opinion of professionals - artists, teachers, psychologists.
What we get is in the "Pictures" folder.

And I'll shake it .. can I? :))
The fact that my daughter gives a pencil is great already because you are doing something together .. I can’t draw: (But we did applications - I cut it out, my daughter glued snowmen, Christmas trees, a jar of cucumbers .. these are also templates , and you try to combine three circles to make a snowman! :)
For three months now, my daughter has been drawing the sky, the sun and a house with many, many windows .. sometimes flowers and trees .. But for two days now she has been bringing a spider in a cobweb from the kindergarten :) - they watched the performance :) I think she will work out spiders again for a couple of months: ))
If you do not show how to draw, some abstractions will be obtained :)

at a daughter's holiday, freckles should be "attached" to the costume. How to draw them without harming children's skin? I heard it seems like food paint is possible, but what kind and how to cook it, can someone tell me?

Discussion

Makeup pencils for sale.

And what harm can be from a single use of a pencil d / eyes or d / lips? ;) IMHO, take a pencil of the appropriate color and draw. Food paint can spread over the face, it will be ugly :(

My son just turned three years old. A very active boy, loves to play pirates, enjoys watching the cartoon "Peter Pan". I have no doubt that his physical and mental development is normal. But the fact that he does not know how to draw at all, does not show any interest in drawing or sculpting, is a little worrying. At best, he can sing with a pencil or paints, but usually he asks me to draw and sculpt, while he watches. Everyone in my family has a penchant for drawing...

Discussion

Give something BIG - for example, chalk and a road, or a thick felt-tip pen and the back of the wallpaper (expand the whole room). So that the child works with his arm from the elbow, large motor skills. So you can help your child get into drawing.

U menya mladshaya do 3.5 gde-to karandash v kulake derzhala. Sootvetstvenno, s "sharikami na nitochkah" ploho bylo. Seichas, god spustya, risuet mnogo i dlya svoego vozrasta ochen "prilichno. I kraskami, i karandashami.

Tell me, please, how to interest a child of 4.5 years old to draw with pencils. We come from the kindergarten and do not want to categorically draw (but it is necessary, he draws badly with a pencil, the teachers ask him to work out extra at home). Only one repeats: "I don't want to...", "I won't..." (and this, by the way, is manifested in everything).

Discussion

buy good quality pencils (they are soft, they are more comfortable), draw together.
Play these drawings.
Spread a roll of paper (old wallpaper) on the floor and start drawing by inviting the child. Draw yourself and tell, beat, the child will not stand it, he will definitely connect! :))) Do you have favorite cartoons? fairy tales? and draw them.
essno, felt-tip pens are easier and the picture is brighter, but that's not it :))

I have a 6.5 year old son who draws quite well. Usually all the drawings are drawn in detail and, as a rule, the proportions are observed. But there is a bottom "BUT" that worries me. When he draws people, the shoulders with the sleeves of the clothes are drawn, but there are no hands. So today, I drew our family and all as one "armless". Help me to understand! But it's kinda annoying :(

Discussion

off topic ... Here I read about topics, who draws how and why. And I remember how I drew myself ... Why does the fence around the house mean closeness ... yes, there was nothing to do, I sat and thought, what else to add ... the smoke from the chimney also appeared that way, the curtains on the windows too. When drawing a family, someone could turn out very big or small, but just because they didn’t calculate, they didn’t fit on the page ... I didn’t draw hands because it’s difficult to draw, you draw and it’s not beautiful ... it’s better to put them behind your back ... .When I read books that children's drawings say a lot .... God, I thought that they would think of me when they saw my drawings ... according to my drawings, you can say that my childhood was terrible and I had a lot of problems and complexes ahem ... and all because I drew this squiggle ... but I was guided by quite banal things ... The desire to embellish and regret that I finished drawing, but I want to draw something else ... or simply not the ability to draw and, as a result, the unwillingness to detail some moments....

Doesn’t anyone have the feeling that what is written about these techniques according to the drawings does not correspond to the present ... didn’t you really draw a handle on the door to the house because you are a closed person .. or drew curtains on the windows because you are secretive? I see by myself a lot of problems that could be read in my drawings as a banal embellishment and inability to draw.

And I’ll add about colors .... sometimes I chose the colors of pencils - simply because it’s better sharpened ... and that’s it .. bright ones were grinded faster .. and, accordingly, there was a period of drawing with dark pencils .. And a psychologist, looking at time in time space, would say o- oo! the girl has obvious problems and depression during this period ...

and instead of a brush, we have a sun on one hand, and a flower on the other. Can't draw fingers.

I don't know who exactly I'm addressing... But I really want opinions. Fine arts in an ordinary (not having an "artistic" inclination) school. Are there any grading criteria? Or is there a specific goal that needs to be achieved by the end of this course? These questions are caused by the grades that my child (an excellent student, grade 2, very responsible) brings in this subject and the explanations of these grades to the child himself. I myself have never been an artist, but it seems to me that creativity ...

I would still go to the teacher and clarify these criteria.

My eldest daughter in the second grade, the teacher gave triples in quarters. Izo was our head teacher at the beginning. That being said, I wouldn't say it was badly drawn.
Then the teacher changed. My daughter began to draw best of all in parallel, all her drawings were taken to exhibitions. There were no extra classes. Here is such a paradox.

And the plastic case is comfortable to hold in your hand. Crayons Children love to draw with crayons on the pavement, they are easily washed off their hands and clothes, but what to draw on at home? You can turn a wall or door into a drawing board with a special slate effect paint. Colored pencils In my opinion, colored pencils are good for children aged five years and older, because to draw with pencils you have to learn some things (hatching, using not only the tip, but also the side of the lead, pressure, you also need to be able to sharpen them, etc. .), and this is better for a child with already developed motor skills. Smaller children may find it more convenient to work with thick or triangular pencils. Felt pens and markers Felt pens are brighter than wax crayons...

Do not forget to try to make a couple of lines yourself ... If the baby prefers broad strokes, then we buy wax crayons, thick brushes and paints (gouache). What to draw? The child draws himself. With pleasure and a lot. But we do not forget that drawing develops. So, you should offer him to draw together and each time something new. Draw a song that you like to sing together, a hero from a lullaby, a poem, a fairy tale read. Why together? Because you lived a song, a fairy tale together with him, and while drawing, you exchange impressions... Isn't this creativity?! And then, together with the baby, you go to your household and tell about everything that happened to you!...

You can draw not only with pencils and a brush ...

At the same time, it is necessary to teach the child to the correct methods of working with a pencil, brush and paints (gouache). The technique of drawing with a pencil is as follows: the kid must learn to take a pencil with three fingers, hold it large and medium, holding it on top with the index finger, and act correctly with it. When working with a brush, it is important to learn how to hold the brush in your fingers, and not in your fist, above the iron tip, but with gouache - to pick up paint only with the bristle of the brush, removing the excess on the edge of the jar, rinse the brush immediately after drawing and dry it, easily pressing it to a napkin. After class, put it on a stand. Dealing with m...

The kid will try more than once to get into the paint with his finger and, moreover, draw with his finger on the sheet. We must let him do it. The kid will feel the object better by examining it with his hands, and at the same time he acts more freely than with a brush. Currently, the method of drawing with fingers is practiced.

And here in 1.3 we started drawing with felt-tip pens. Pencils have to be pressed hard, uncomfortable. Only lines were obtained. And as soon as I got to the marker, our strokes immediately turned into "hanks". Already knows how to draw circles in circles. I also like coloring pages where you need to paint with water and the colors appear.

And it doesn't matter that in the picture it is almost no different from a bus or a portrait of a beloved grandfather: just one larger circle, another smaller one and a few "other" sticks! Nothing can be done, at first you have to be content with this. Of course, the kid does not immediately manage to draw what he wants. First, a one-year-old or one and a half year old child, picking up a pencil, draws more or less curved lines on a sheet of paper. Then, when the hand gets a little stronger (closer to two years), the dashes will take the form of spirals, then ovals, circles. And, finally, by the age of three, angles and broken lines will come out from the artist’s pen, that is, something from which you can assemble a real picture. By the way, if at the beginning of a creative ...

At the same time, the most important objects are depicted bright and large, and this violates the real proportions. The kid can draw himself more at home, because he draws HIMSELF, or make his beloved puppy the size of his dad ...

By the way, after listening to Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, his son drew a thunderstorm five times, although he doesn't seem to be afraid of a real thunderstorm.

But the drawing gives the child the opportunity to express what he still cannot understand and express in words. Drawing for him is not art, but speech, which he has not yet learned how to use properly. But, becoming the creator of drawn men and figurines, he, like a true artist, feels complete, unrestricted freedom. Of course, he does not think of putting his feelings on a white sheet, little fingers guide the pencil themselves, and from under it comes a mirror of the little creator's soul. Age features Analyzing the picture, consider the age of the child. After all, at two years old he will draw sticks, circles, squares and, only having depicted them, come up with what they are and how to call them. By the age of three, the baby has a desire to draw little men. But only to draw them, he then ...

I agree with Lilek, children's drawings are a great opportunity to find out the mood of the child, to identify his fears and anxiety, to understand how he reacted to some kind of life situation. I love to watch how my 4-year-old kid draws, in the process I ask him leading questions, what is what, he begins to explain, and in this way, with the help of words and pencils, a picture of his current world is created. I completely agree about the choice of colors and the drawing of details, the kid will certainly not carefully draw an element that is not important for him, even if his hand is broken. And, sorry, I will never believe that a cheerful child will choose only black for his drawings, so parents simply do not care what happens in the soul of their baby, since they consider the only black color to be normal.

So that the children in the country house or near the house do not explore the beds or any other places where they should not be, they need an interesting corner for them. As a rule, parents come to the idea of ​​the need to create a playground or a sports corner - it depends on the age and desire of the children. A self-made playground is good because during its construction it is possible to provide for the possibility of its gradual transformation. After all, what is suitable for 2-3 year olds is no longer liked by 5-6 year olds, and even more so for older children. And besides, a do-it-yourself playground is often built not so much for reasons of economy, but for the desire to please the child: who knows better than parents what your child likes ... Someone needs a pirate ship, but someone needs their own, real, house with a porch, a door and all the necessary attributes.

Do-it-yourself Danish playground - a place for your favorite offspring to play in the country or in the yard

Choose a location

It will be a difficult task to solve. Firstly, it is desirable that the playground be viewed from the house, and from the room in which someone is most of the time. Ideally, if the site is viewed from several rooms or points. Secondly, it should be located away from outbuildings with "aromas", if any. Thirdly, it is desirable to take into account the fertility of the soil: an infertile area or with complex geology can be allocated for the game complex: there is no need to dig into the ground, maximum - 30-40 cm bury pillars.

When choosing a place, it’s a good idea to place a children’s play area near a wall or a solid fence. These zones can sharply be fully used, and in this case they can be used for games. For example, make a mini climbing wall on the wall, fix rope ladders, a slate board and other devices no less interesting for children. You probably know what your children like, and if you don’t know, you can find out: there are enough fences and walls, place different devices in different areas and watch where your child stays longer. So find out which games he is more drawn to, you will know in which direction to move on.

Slate board on the fence - children entertainment and development of fine motor skills of hands

Lighting must also be taken into account. The place for children to play should not be constantly in the shade, but the sun is also not needed. Approximately 2/3 of the site should be in the shade (, swing), and 1/3 - in the sun - if any, an active play area. If there is no shade on the site, you will have to come up with a canopy or put up a large umbrella.

At the same time, please note that there is no constant draft in the area of ​​the proposed site. Children, of course, need to be tempered, but not in this way. Even when choosing a place for a children's play area, pay attention to the fact that electrical appliances or any shields, machines and other similar devices are not located nearby. Children are curious and inventive, so it's better not to risk it.

What area is needed

A little about the area that needs to be taken away for a children's playground. Small children don't need much space - a sandbox, a few very simple projectiles, a small pool if you think possible. It's nice to have a lawn, or a flat, smooth piece with some kind of suitable surface, where you can lie down to your heart's content. That's all. For all this, an area of ​​\u200b\u200b4-5 square meters is enough. meters.

For small children, it is desirable to enclose the area. This will give you the opportunity not to be constantly nearby, but to do your own business nearby: children in sight and safe. The fence can be any - it's all about your imagination, desire and capabilities. The main requirement is that it must be safe and durable or completely inaccessible to children. For example, like the chain-link mesh that you see in the photo above. It comes with a plastic coating of bright colors and does not look as harsh as usual.

PVC-coated chain-link mesh is a good option for fencing playgrounds

If for some reason you don’t like this option, you can put a picket fence, which will be about the height of the children somewhere on the shoulders, the distance between adjacent planks should be such that the head does not crawl there. Fences can be painted with different colors.

Picket fence - a familiar fence in an unusual design

Just pay attention that the tops are rounded and do not have sharp corners, they are well processed: splinters are very frustrating for children. The fence must be firmly attached. With the expectation that the children will definitely hang on them and jump.

Rope fencing is rarely used, but it looks good, it performs its functions perfectly: durable, safe, aesthetically attractive.

Rope fence for a playground - durable, inexpensive, reliable and safe

For older children, the fence is a relic. For them, the field of activity is the entire site, and only something really interesting can distract them. More space is also needed here. If possible, give children under 7 years old 8-9 m 2, from 7 to 12 years old - up to 12 m 2. Here the set of shells is already more serious, which is why large areas are required.

Playground cover

This is a complex topic with a very difficult choice. While the children are small, they are great (there is a special composition of herbs with high abrasion resistance). He is not so attractive in appearance, but is able to endure little pranksters with almost no damage. The disadvantage of lawns is the need for regular care: watering, mowing, etc.

For small children, the ideal playground surface is lawn grass

The lawn can no longer cope with the load from the games of grown children. Especially in the zone of active games: near slides, swings. These are the most problematic areas. If you leave these areas "as is", then during the rain a puddle forms under them, after a couple of "races", turning into a swamp. There is a good solution: make a drainage pad out of crushed stone, and fill it with sand or lay a rubber coating like that used in stadiums. It is durable and strong.

To remove moisture from the area of ​​​​the playground, they remove the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm, fall asleep and ram the rubble, pour it on top and also ram the sand. Both layers are approximately 10-15 cm each. During construction, you can already stop at this: landing on such a site is already not bad. But the sand is gradually pulled apart, and it will have to be periodically updated. You can spread a rubber mat. This is already more serious, only it will be necessary to make a slight slope so that the water rolls off it during the rain. Someone just lays rubber mats, which are replaced as they wear out.

Another way out is to fill the entire site with fine, sifted sand. It will periodically need to be leveled and topped up, but this is perhaps the most practical way out.

Sand playground cover - from the category of "quickly and without much hassle"

Another option is to pour crushed bark. Another question is that not everyone has the opportunity to take this bark. But if there is, try it. The covering is soft and not traumatic. Only it is necessary to grind it well and remove the chips that may be there.

Of the more technologically advanced, we can offer the following:

• Regupol. Factory rubber coating, laid on a flat concrete or asphalt base. The cost is $25-70 per square meter.
• Coating of crumb rubber with the addition of a binder. It is poured onto a prepared leveled area (it is possible on compacted sand laid on top of crushed stone). The price is $25-80 per square meter.
• Modular high density PVC systems. Plates that are connected according to the principle of puzzles. The price of a "square" is $50-70.
• artificial grass. It is laid on a prepared base of quartz sand and crumb rubber, requires water drainage. Depending on the height of the pile, it costs from $40 to $80.

It's hard to choose. There are too many mutually exclusive requirements and desires, but something will have to be chosen. The most common option is lawn, the second most popular is sand. The remaining coatings are applied only in places - in the most "loaded" parts.

The choice of equipment for the playground

Planning the elements of the playground is best with children. After all, it is for them that you are going to build a playing area, and it is their desires that you need to listen to. Often we try to reproduce what, in our understanding, should be interesting for them, and then we are surprised that the children play anywhere, but not on the site, which they built with such love. All because you embodied your desires and expectations, not children's. Listen to what the child wants, walk around the guests who already have similar facilities, see where the child spends more time. On this basis, it is already possible to build something.

For kids, there must be a sandbox on the playground. This develops their coordination, allows them to develop faster. The usual design - four boards - is not a problem to knock down, but I want it to be also beautiful. For the boys, the sandbox-machine will be interesting. It is made of two-color painted moisture-resistant laminated plywood.

Under the hood is a toy box. Inside in the cockpit, there is also an “entrance” to this box.

In general, wooden cars for boys are great fun. They are passionate about it. another option from an old barrel.

Behind, by the way, you can also arrange a sandbox ...

Another interesting idea is how to make a shadow over the playing area: fix a rod at a height, throw an awning over it, making a kind of tent. And it's not hot, and there is shade.

Almost a ship...

Children's houses

The most popular part of the play corner with children is your own house, where you can hide from the all-seeing eye of adults, set your own rules. For children, it does not matter what their house is built of. They play well in a fabric tent, a hut made of branches. There are many designs that are quickly and easily "built". Moreover, even the smallest can be involved in this construction: it will be even more interesting to play in a house built with your own hands.

For example, a hut. Watch children play. This is exactly the building that they erect most often. In different regions they call it differently: someone is their “headquarters”, someone is “home”, a hut, a halabuda. They usually use sticks, bedspreads, other improvised material. Based on this "chalabudostroenie", several of the following designs of houses for children were made.

The cheapest way to build a summer house for children is to put a few poles in a hut, plant them around the bindweed and wait a couple of weeks for them to grow. The shape of this living hut can be any: in the form of a cone, as in the photo, a traditional hut, more like a house, etc. Tie the poles together with twine, plastic clamps, or something similar. It is only important to ensure a sufficiently stable frame, otherwise naughty children can overwhelm the structure.

In general, it is not necessary to wait until the plants grow. You can sew a fabric cover, make an entrance, like in a wigwam ... There are a lot of opportunities for using fantasy.

A quick and absolutely safe way to build a children's hut is to fix fabric panels on the hoop. Hang this design, for example, on a tree. Under it, lay out the mats, attach the panels to the edges. It will turn out an excellent summer house in which children will be cool and cozy.

A hoop and fabric hut - fast, cheap, safe

Moreover, this design is suitable not only for girls. Hang a camouflage net or camouflage fabric on the hoop. The boys will definitely make their headquarters in it.

If your child dreams of a house like yours, there are even more options. It is usually built using frame technology: pillars are buried in the corners, the lower and upper trims are attached to them. The lower trim is the basis for the floor, the upper one is the ceiling. If the house is planned high, a sandbox is often placed below. The house located on top closes it from rain and sun.

If the house is planned at ground level, construction can be started in a different way. Set the blocks on which it will stand level, lay a beam (80 * 80 mm or 100 * 100 mm) on them, connect it into a rectangle, fasten the corners with metal patch plates. After already attach to the bottom frame in the corners of the rack, which will become a support for the walls and roof.

Some children like to have a house, just like adults have: with a porch, a real door and a window, a sofa ... This is also what parents have done more than once. The basis is the same: a beam from which the frame of the building is assembled, and it is sheathed depending on the desire. Faster to work with sheet material, such as waterproof plywood, longer - with boards or clapboard.

House, as from a fairy tale - carved, on a stump

Slides for children

Slides are no less popular with children. The fast descent is a lot of fun. This is where parents get in trouble. What to make a children's slide? The traditional coating - a sheet of stainless steel - has now become very expensive, and it is dangerous to leave it on the street unattended - they will carry it away. Ordinary steel will not work - it rusts very quickly, so you have to look for a replacement. There are several options:

And only a hill in the country or near the house is very rarely done. Usually this is only part of the game complex, which includes various shells: rope and ordinary ladders with different angles of inclination, hanging paths, nets, swings on chains or ropes, poles with crossbars and, in general, everything you can think of. You will find a few ideas below in the photo gallery.

Wooden slide - only part of the play area for children in the country

Swing

Suspended are popular not only among children, but also among adults. There are many different options - from models for toddlers to older children. Some of them you saw in the photo above. To create such entertainment, not many materials are needed: chains or ropes on which the seat will be attached.

If you use ropes, you must regularly check their condition: they become less durable from exposure to the sun and can fray. Chains are more reliable in this regard: they can withstand heavy loads, but they pose another danger: moving chain links can pinch the skin. It is very painful, and large hematomas are obtained. But there is a way out. To keep it safe, hoses are put on the chains in those places where they are taken by hand. Their shell protects the hands of children and adults who swing the swing (or ride themselves).

Only bad luck - curious kids love to pick pipes, so check them periodically. Sometimes covers made of very dense fabric such as tarpaulin are used as a protective layer.

Often there are questions about how to attach chains or ropes to the crossbar. The most popular solution is the carbine. But they have two drawbacks: when rocking, they creak quite strongly, and besides, they gradually wear out. The rate of wear depends on the mass of the swinging children (they do not always sit on the swing one at a time) and on the intensity of use. Both problems can be partially solved by periodic lubrication, but only partially. The second option is to use bearings, but welding is indispensable here. See the photo below for a few options on how to attach a swing to the crossbar.

Where to get such devices? In shops selling rigging. You may find other ideas there.

Often the question arises: how and from what to make a seat. Yes, from anything. Even from a tire or from a piece of tarp, an old chair - wooden or plastic, just a piece of board. Craftsmen manage to use the old chair.

A circle tied with ropes is a great option

Old swing chair - why not?

Having slightly modified them and hung them only slightly above the ground, we teach not a swing, but a simulator for developing balance. Of particular interest to the boys will be the option with a board from a skateboard. And on a wide platform you can swing while sitting ...

Stairs and walkways

Ladders are one of the key elements that connects all the disparate parts into a single whole, allowing you to move from one projectile to another. They are made from well-crafted wood. The steps should be round (at least 5 cm in diameter, so that it is convenient to take it with your hands) and straight. You can make rope steps: they are harder to climb, but they develop coordination well.

Rope climb - difficult, but very interesting to overcome

Hang a rope net on one side, make a rope ladder. Rope shells are not in vain present in all extreme shows. They are safe, but require well-developed coordination and dexterity. At first, it’s hard for the kids, but it’s precisely for such “shells” that they are drawn.

A rope wall and ladder is a great way to make the playground more interesting to play with.

Here is the basic set of elements from which children's playgrounds are assembled. For older boys, you can add a horizontal bar and rings. They already need to develop not only coordination, but also muscle strength. In general, there can be a lot of ideas. Some of them are in the photo below. We hope that the playground made by your efforts will bring joy to children, and pleasure to you: it is always nice to look at what you have done with your own hands.

When a pack of little pranksters appears in a family, the question arises of what to do with children in their summer cottage during the summer. In addition to "socially useful" works and bicycles, kids can be offered a playground. You can break this right in your country yard. The new review presents examples of just such playgrounds.

1. Carousel

If the area of ​​​​the yard and finances allow, you should think about building a large children's carousel. To implement such a project, you will need wooden beams, a rotating mechanism, cables, strong wicker baskets and, of course, building skills. The main thing is to take care of the reliability and safety of the structure, and the joyful faces of the children will be a worthy payment for the efforts.

2. Territory of childhood

Fence off a small piece of the backyard and organize a playground there. It can be a very modest corner with bright paths, a table, a bungee and a makeshift house, or a full-fledged amusement park with swings, carousels and slides.

3. Mini-garden

Let your child feel like a real gardener. Separate a small piece of land with stones or wooden blocks, plant flowers, greens and any other plants there and teach your child how to care for them. Such a garden will teach the baby to work and responsibility, and the harvest grown by one's own hands will be an excellent reward for efforts.

4. Sports ground

Wooden stumps and bars are perfect for building a small sports ground in your own yard. Such uncomplicated attractions will definitely appeal to children and will not let you get bored during a family vacation in the country.

5. Slides

A wooden structure with slides is an idea that will suit those who have a rather big space. Slides can be bought, or you can make your own, but in any case, the children will be happy.

6. Trampoline

A trampoline is a wonderful attraction that will delight both children and adults. To do it yourself, unfortunately, it will not work out, but soon the costs will justify themselves.

7. Pointers

Come up with fabulous names for all the structures in the yard and make bright signs with your child. Such signs will help children better navigate the terrain and allow you to turn your stay in the country into a fun game.

8. Checkerboard

From wooden boards or plywood, you can build a beautiful chessboard that will appeal to adults and children, and will also become an original backyard decoration.

9. Swing

Unnecessary car tires can be turned into a charming swing. In addition, the creation of such an attraction does not require any special skills and special costs.

10. Slate board

So that the children do not get bored while their parents work in the garden or sunbathe in the sun, hang a large slate on the fence or on the facade of the house.

11. Bowling

An ordinary concrete path can easily be turned into a bowling alley, and plastic bottles make excellent skittles. Instead of a bowling ball, you can use a tennis ball or any other heavy ball.

12. Target

It turns out that noodle harnesses can come in handy not only in the pool. From them you can make a bright and colorful target for throwing balls. Such an attraction will not only amuse children, but will also contribute to the development of speed, agility and coordination.

13. Water mattress

From a plastic film, you can make a large cool mattress filled with water, which will give a lot of joy to adults and children.

14. Twister

Backyard obstacle course.

The backyard can be turned into a small obstacle course for active children's fun. From improvised materials you can make a rope labyrinth, islands, bungee, cable car and much more. Such a playground will not only be a field for fun games, but will also help to significantly improve the physical shape of children.

In continuation of the topic, we present more that must be implemented this summer.
