How to make a birthday gift for your grandfather?

If the birthday is coming near grandfather, I want to please him with not on-duty gifts like men's cosmetics, sweaters and a set of tools - I want to give the grandfather touching impressions. Grandchildren can organize all this (under the strict guidance of adults, of course). If, apart from a signed postcard, no ideas come to you, do not be discouraged - there are many options!

If the granddaughter or granddaughter is still so small that they do not even go to the garden (or just went), they will not even cope with the classic signing of the card. But this does not mean that creative crafts are canceled. Even a little man can arrange a birthday present for his grandfather with his own hands.

Here are some options for gifts from kids.

• Cheerful palms. After all, a lot of things can be made from the contour of the circled palms of the kid - cute cockerels, fluffy flowers, naughty butterflies and cute octopus. A parent needs to sit down a fidget, circle his pen - half the work has been done. And then choose for yourself: you can shade or paint a future butterfly or octopus, and then put a pattern on the hero with a cotton swab. You can make an appliqué - make many small colored circles (confetti) with the help of a punch, and they will become elements for the patterns.
• Finger paintings. The child really likes to dunk his fingers in the paint. See samples: funny caterpillars, fluffy cats, beautiful flowers can be made with a finger print. And an adult can paint on the hands, legs and eyes.

And I really like children nitcography.

"Painting a million" in the technique of nitcography is quite simple.

1. You need to take a thread, smear it in paint - or rather, paint it, for example, with orange.
2. The other thread is green with the addition of blue and so on. All this can be done with the child, to whom such art is usually to their liking.
3. Next comes the most interesting thing: bend in half a sheet of watercolor paper, between the two halves, whimsically, figuratively lay out two threads.
4. Squeeze the sheets. Drum roll - now between tightly compressed sheets you need to pull the tips of the thread (pull them out of paper).
5. The imprint of such a gesture is the future picture. She is, of course, from the category of abstraction, but the same intelligent parent can find an image in abstraction, and where you need to paint on it (eyes, paws of a butterfly, contours of tree trunks in the autumn forest, and so on).

An unusual, not at all primitive picture is sent to a frame under glass and is solemnly presented at a celebration to a birthday man. There is an assumption that contemporary art will become a family value. Creative grandpa will be fascinated!

Usually, the grandfather thaws from any squiggles written by her granddaughter, and from the simplest postcard addressed to him. But do not go easy way - you need to surprise the grandfather. For example, a mini-bouquet, which is done quickly, and looks very modern.

For the manufacture of a bouquet needed:

• sleeve;
• color paper of your choice (you can monophonic, you can different colors);
• scissors;
• glue gun
• circular hole punch (if not, not scary);
• kraft paper for wrapping;
• thin satin small ribbon.

The sleeve is cut in half (we do not need the entire length).One end of it is sealed with a piece of colored paper corresponding to the diameter of the sleeve. Next circular puncher cut circles. If there is no such tool, just circle something round (the sleeve itself is possible). Then cut these cups with a snail so that, when cut, they can be twisted into a bud. You will get a few buds that are perfectly glued to the base of the sleeve with a glue gun.

As a result, you get half a sleeve, on top of which 7-9 rose buds are glued. It remains to wrap the sleeve kraftovoy paper (on glue), and tie the bottom of the ribbon. It turns out a cute little bouquet! Grandpa will be touched.

To the bouquet can be attached and postcard grandfather. And it can be done in the popular lettering technique. This art is rightly called the dance of letters. Do not confuse lettering with calligraphy: calligraphy is the ideal evenness of the font, and in lettering each letter is drawn separately. This is a very interesting activity, and girls who already know how to write (and everyone who is older, of course) can do it.

Little boys (from 3 to 9 years old) may also give homemade bouquets to grandpa, sign lettering techniques — these classes are not as attached to the floor as it seems. But there are other options. The gift does not have to be traditional - there are enough alternatives to a postcard. As well as not necessarily present to the grandfather should reflect his interests and occupations peculiar to the grandfather's age.

Consider step by step how to make a dancing octopus for grandfather.

1. Take two opaque plastic cups. On one of them, circle your finger around the contour. And so several times (it will be the legs of the hero). Cut the legs along the marked contour, not reaching the edges of the cup.
2. The second cup just needs to be covered with paint (gouache). Color - at your discretion, it is desirable that the birthday man liked this color. The first cup with legs, too, need to be painted (you can do it in a contrasting color).
3. When the blanks are dry, to the one with no legs, you need to glue the eyes. You can draw them yourself on paper and cut. You can buy eyes in the department of products for creativity.
4. Responsible stage - you need to make a spring. To do this, cut out of thick paper (but not cardboard) two thin strips, approximately one centimeter wide. The strips need to be interlaced between the half-string. You will have a weave that, if folded with an accordion, will spring well.
5. Glue the paper spring with a glue gun to the inner bottom of the cups: it should connect their bottoms when the mounting foot is inserted inside the cup-body.
6. You can continue to decorate the octopus body - patterns, straziki, ornament, whatever.
7. So, inserting one cup with legs into another, a funny seaman appears. And if you gently slap his palm on it, he “squats”. And if you clap often, he dances.

And you can make a whole orchestra of octopuses, and play them as if they were drums, along the way singing a funny song. It's great if a gift is good not only as a result, when it is ready and dressed, but also in the process of its manufacture.

Classics of the genre - to draw a picture for grandfather. If the child has a very modest ability to draw, but insists on this gift, you can resort to tricks. Buy him a creative set "Drawing by numbers", appropriate for age. For the child himself, this will be very exciting - and at the exit is a chic picture, ready to decorate the grandfather's room.

Ideas gifts made by children, very much.Try to move away from the standard options, when your grandfather draws a tank on a postcard on February 23 and flowers at best for his birthday. Children should be pleased with their interests, spontaneity, willingness to play. And grandfather is usually happy to join this game.

For example, let your baby offer grandfather to plunge into childhood. To do this, build something out of the things at hand that may resemble an ice cream worker’s workplace. The main thing is to have a flat surface on which you can put a homemade popsicle and ice cream, and that there is a corresponding inscription.

A "sell" (for smiles, of course) the baby will be a beautiful, unusual ice cream. To make it, spend in advance with the child, and preferably with all the grandchildren at once, a creative activity. Collect wooden sticks from ice cream, they will remain the same attribute of delicacy. And for the ice cream itself you will need a design cardboard or thick colored paper.

Everything is used for decoration of the base: sequins, sequins, straziki, felt-tip pens (for drawing patterns), peas from yarn and so on. And so you need to decorate each base, then fix it on a stick. It is necessary to decorate from two sides. It is desirable that there are as many treats as guests at the festival. Then the grandfather, who was presented with such a small ticket to childhood, will be able to treat surprises from the grandson of all the guests.

Another option - a joint photo of his grandfather and grandson on canvas. If you have a favorite picture of your grandfather and grandson (granddaughter, grandchildren), you can transfer it to a canvas in a special workshop. The result is a real picture that looks very convincing in any interior. Be sure to festively pack it, attach a small postcard, and let the grandson in a solemn atmosphere present your grandfather such a pleasant surprise.

And back to lettering again - see how great the work in this technique looks. They are beautifully framed, and in any room it will be a good and modern decor. In this way You can write wishes, slogans, parting words, and for a birthday is one of the best options. And most importantly, in the process of making such a gift the child learns composure, concentration, accuracy, acquires the skill.
