Do toys "kapitoshki" with their own hands

Toy "kapitoshka" with their own hands is very simple. It does not require global material costs or some unusual materials. But how much joy a child will get, especially if he took part in creating this funny little thing!

To create a "kapitoshka" with our own hands, we will need an ordinary balloon. Here it is better not to save and get more durable. Otherwise, in the end, the entire "filling" will be scattered over furniture and carpets. You can also use not one, but two balls for greater strength. You simply put one into the other. Next you need to insert inside the usual kitchen hopper. But since its neck is narrow enough, it can be inconvenient to work with it. Therefore, "kapitoshki" with their own hands can be done with a conventional plastic bottle. To do this, you need to cut off the bottom, and on the neck to pull the "tail" of the ball. Now our task is to fill the future toy. To do this, you can use flour, starch, talc or sand. It all depends on your wishes and the age of the child. After all, if the ball breaks, and the baby is still very small, he will certainly taste the contents. So, creating "kapitoshki" with their own hands, fill the workpiece, for example, with flour, tampying it well. The amount depends on the desired size of the toy.

When this stage is completed, you need to tie a "tail" ball, and cut off excess (if desired). Now we proceed to "finishing" works. Draw eye sights, nose, smile. Although all this can be cut out of colored paper and paste.

On the other hand, it's better to simplify your task and buy balls with already painted faces. If the face of the toy is ready, it's time to think about the hair. It is built of woolen threads, New Year's rain, you can braid the pigtails, collect the tail or leave the hair loose.

So the toy "kapitoshka" is ready. The photo shows what various forms can be given to it. This is an excellent simulator for the development of small motor skills for toddlers, and for adults it is an excellent means for relieving stress.

However, the method described above is not the only way to create a "kapitoshka" with their own hands. Those who know how to hold a needle in their hands can sew a funny "friend" for their child. Special skills are not needed. For this, a piece of burlap of round shape is needed. It needs to be assembled on a string so that the bag has turned out. As a filler, you can use foam rubber, sintepon or holofayber. Or take non-standard materials: leaves, grass, flowers, cereals. Depending on the filler, the Kapitoshka will have different functions: a regular toy, an aromatic antistress souvenir, or a simulator for fine motor skills. We embroider eyes, mouth and nose on the bag. Now the turn of the pens and legs. They are made from cork from wine bottles. Preliminary they need to make holes. Ropes are stretched through the bag, and then passed into the cork and fixed with knots. The top of the "capitol" can be decorated with a rope, on which you need to make a loop, so that the souvenir can be hung.

Such funny toys will be an excellent gift not only for children, but also for adults.
