Material: some cardboard.
The steps are as follows:
1, first find a rectangular piece of paper, cut the rectangular piece of paper into squares, and keep the rest. Then fold the square in half, open it again, and cut the upper and lower small rectangles in half.
2. Fold in half in the middle of the rectangle after folding, thus forming two small squares. Note: The front side should be the creased side. Then fold it between two small squares.
3. When finished, you need to hide the small rectangles on both sides of the four corners.
4. Then make four small squares with four corners. You just need to move the corner.
5. Then fold the movable corner outside the small square. When finished, fold the other two active corners of the small square inward, and four small squares can be finished.
6. Next, you need to fold another identical one according to the above steps 1-5, cut one of them from the middle position, and keep the four cut ones for later use.
7. Insert the cut four into the whole, fold them with the interspersed ones, and fold the four corners.
8. Fold the remaining rectangular pairs into a small strip, paying attention to a little curvature as the handle of the flower basket.
9. Insert the strip into any two opposite sides, and finally hold the four corners of the bottom square. At this time, the flower basket is ready.
Benefits of making handicrafts for children:
1, cultivate self-confidence
Children need to use their hands and brains to finish a handmade product independently. In this process, children will also encounter many problems. If they can persist in finishing, it is also a manifestation of perseverance. Regardless of the outcome, encouraging children is conducive to cultivating their self-confidence.
Step 2 cultivate observation
If children carefully observe when making handicrafts, the things they make will be lifelike and pay more attention to the changes in details. After a long time, children naturally develop the habit of paying attention to things around them.
Step 3 cultivate creativity
Many times, children can provide pictures or shapes of things first, then guide children to divergent thinking, and then mobilize their enthusiasm for making, so that children can give full play to their imagination and create things in their minds. It not only trains children's practical ability, but also cultivates their creative ability.
Step 4 improve your hands-on ability
Various tools may be used when doing manual work, such as scissors, crayons, hot melt adhesives and so on. This will not only expose children to more tools that they have never seen before, but also cultivate and improve their hands-on ability and further understand more tools.
