Do you want to spend time in the country not only fun, but also useful? Try DIY garden crafts. Your children will enjoy participating in such a creative activity and maybe even succeed in such activities.
If you have a large garden plot, then do-it-yourself crafts in the garden will come in handy! They will bring some bright colors and originality to the design. You can start with the simplest: decorating flower beds. Well, what kind of boring thing is this when flowers grow on an ordinary garden bed? Why not put them in an old, useless cart that is forgotten to be taken to the trash from year to year? Crafts in the country are interesting because, it would seem, the most ordinary-looking things can be turned into real works of art.
So, first we need to prepare our "flower bed". So that it does not look completely scary, it needs to be slightly updated and painted, or, on the contrary, you can bring antiquity and simply varnish it or with a special coating for wood so that it does not deteriorate longer.
Next we prepare the groundfor plants: it is advisable to choose the most fertile land, sparing no fertilizer. By the way, we note that it must be updated every year so that the plants are comfortable. Therefore, flowers should be chosen as annuals and planted as seedlings.
Arrange a holiday for indoor flowers, take them out into the fresh air. Just do not forget to come up with an unusual place for them. You can convert an old bedside table into another flower bed, and put a few flower pots upstairs. Plant begonias, ageratums, coleus, pansies and other annuals in the boxes open at different levels, which, in your opinion, will go well with houseplants.
You think in vain that DIY crafts made from improvised and natural materials cannot be adapted to the garden. In labor lessons, children often make various trinkets. For example, figurines made of fir cones. You can put them to good use on the lawn, especially if you make them a couple of companions. But what about mushrooms from old stumps or a hedgehog from unnecessary plastic bottles? By the way, you get a great flower bed if you stick a lot of them into an earthen mound, giving the shape of a hedgehog. Cut the bottom of the bottles and plant various undersized flowers there. Cut out the eyes and tip of the nose from wood. Such an animal will definitely not be able to go unnoticed!
In the garden, DIY crafts can also be made from wood. From it it turns out to cut out funny figurines. It can be a bull from a poem by Agnia Barto or Wally from the cartoon of the same name. And if you like Russian folk tales, then you cancreate a kolobok with a company or a bunny with a hut.
Even in the garden, do-it-yourself crafts are good to do from stone. Such figurines can be built by children. The easiest option is to find smooth cobblestones and paint them, for example, by making a butterfly, ladybug or smeshariki. All you need is imagination, paints, brushes and a top coat.
In fact, not all ideas will turn out the first time, but perfection has no limits, and even clumsy turtles will look pretty cute on your lawn. Most importantly, such activities will have a calming effect on you, and you will admire these crafts with tenderness.
