Crafts on the topic of traffic rules are visual material that allows children to remember how to behave on the road. Make them together with the guys. So that the children know how and into what light to cross the street, what cannot be done on the road, make a model of it with them from improvised means.
Traffic rules crafts: 3 options to choose from
To make a visual aid for children, take:
- carton boxes;
- glue;
- scissors;
- colored paper and cardboard.
To make at home, glue the box with colored paper.
Get a box. Using a ruler and pencil, help your child draw rectangles of the same size, which will become windows, on a different color of paper. These parts need to be glued to the facade of the house.
To make them have a neater outline, attach a ruler, circle with a felt-tip pen or a bright pencil.
Windows can be made flat rectangular or volumetric triangular. In the first case, the child will cut this figure out of paper, glue it up the house.
To implement the second idea, you need to cut out a rectangle, fold it in the form of a volumetric triangle, glue it so that the seam is at the top.
Make a few more buildings with the children. Let some of them become shops, others - schools, others - residential buildings. To mark the functional purpose of these buildings, write and glue signs to them. On them it will be written that this is a children's educational institution, a supermarket, and on residential buildings write the name of the street and the house number.
After that, make a zebra, that is, a pedestrian crossing. To do this, white strips, 5 cm wide, are glued onto a sheet of black cardboard.
Then the roadway is made. For it, you need to glue strips of white paper 1 cm wide on gray cardboard. In the center there will be a dividing strip consisting of two segments. Short stripes of the same width must be glued to each side of the movement of cars.
If you are planning to create a large craft of the traffic law, then glue as many marked sheets of cardboard as required for the work. Place road markings on a table, or glue them to an inverted flat lid from a large box, such as a table hockey box. Place houses, place cars on the roadway, place figures of people next to the pedestrian crossing. Then you can play with the children, showing how to cross the road.
But one more important detail is missing for this - the traffic light. You will learn how to do it by reading the next paragraph. In the meantime, look at 2 more ideas that will tell you how to make children's crafts of traffic rules. After all, they may not be voluminous.
Let the child, under the guidance of adults, glue a house on a sheet of blue cardboard, make a road, a pedestrian crossing, a car and a traffic light next to the building. In the process of creating this work, you can help children learn the basic rules of the road.
Create together a fabulous city where figures and houses will be sculpted from plasticine. This material will help make the road. To do this, knead the black plasticine well, smear it between the outlined contours. Thin white plasticine sausages are glued on top to create a pedestrian crossing and a dividing strip for cars. Lawns, paths, people are created in the same way.
A house can be made from two pieces of plasticine of the same color connected together, or you can exchange this mass in your hands and coat a small box. Windows are made of plasticine of a different color.
You can take toy cars or also mold them from plasticine.
After you have familiarized yourself with the three options for making crafts for kindergarten, see how to make a traffic light. It can also be crafted from a variety of materials, depending on what you have in stock.
How to make a traffic light with your own hands?
If a plumbing pipe is lying around at home, and even there are shoulder straps, a cap, a policeman's baton, then you can make such a character.
If you do not have such items of the traffic police officer, then make them out of colored paper and cardboard. So, to implement your plan, take:
- plumbing pipe;
- wooden stick;
- acrylic lacquer;
- whistle;
- acrylic paints;
- cap;
- shoulder straps;
- a rod, and in the absence of this, colored paper and cardboard.
To work, you need tools such as a jigsaw, a drill. Saw the pipe in half across. Draw with a simple pencil where the facial features will be located at the traffic light, red, yellow and green circles. Paint it all with paints of the appropriate colors. Drill two holes at the level of the character's shoulders, insert a wooden stick here, glue shoulder straps. Put a cap on top of the pipe.
Hang a whistle on one hand of the character and a wand on the other. Here's how to make a traffic light. If there are no ready-made attributes, then glue black strips onto white cardboard, roll this blank into a tube, glue the sides from a large edge. You will have a wand. Shoulder straps are also easy to create; we cut them out of blue colored cardboard.
If we talk about how to make a traffic light, then the easiest way is to paste over a rectangular cardboard box with dark colored paper, glue a red, yellow and green mug on each side here.
If you still have a milk carton, this is exactly what you need. Cover it with black paper, and attach circles of the corresponding colors on the sides. To make the child better understand that in no case should you cross the road at a red light, draw a sad smiley on the circle of this color. Yellow will have a straight mouth, while green will have a smiling mouth, which means an invitation to move. Hide the top of the box under a cap, which is cut out of colored paper, the details are glued together.
If there is no such container, you can make a traffic light from a sheet of cardboard. The next photo shows how to cut it out, what dimensions should be.
Straighten the cardboard box, open it, cut out the circles.
Glue black paper on cardboard, cut out red, yellow and green squares. Glue them onto a dark base. Roll it up. Cut and glue a handle out of cardboard, attach it to this roll. Insert this blank inside the glued traffic light. By turning the handle, you will change the color, thereby checking if the children have mastered the lesson about the rules of the road correctly.
The next traffic light is made of very interesting materials, for this take:
- three laser discs;
- three juice lids;
- glue;
- lace;
- scissors;
- paints and brushes.
Have your child paint the juice lids in the desired colors. If you have yellow, green, you do not need to paint such. Glue these blanks to the center of the discs, connect the elements. Attach a lace of the desired length at the back at the top, after which you can hang the craft.
If you want to make a traffic light so that its elements are three-dimensional, then use the origami technique for this.
To do this, cut squares with sides of 5 cm from green, yellow and red paper, of which you need to twist the parts that are glued together.
The finished balls must be attached to the stand, after which the work is over.
A traffic light made of cellophane bags turns out to be very interesting.
For this craft, you will need:
- garbage bags in red, yellow and green;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- colored paper.
How to make pompons is shown in detail in the next master class.
- To do this, first cut off the handles from the packages.
- Then, starting from the outer corner, cut into a long tape, as shown in the photo under number 2.
- After that, you need to wind this very tape on your palm or on two identical cardboard circles, in the center of which there is a lace.
- Now the turns are cut from the outside. If you wound the tape around your hand, then tie the resulting blank in the middle with a piece of a plastic bag, tighten it, tie it.
- To create a traffic light, you will tie these loose laces, thus connecting the structure. You can glue pens and a rod made of cardboard, eyes from colored paper to the exhibit, and make a cap from the same material.
If mothers know how to knit, they can perform this attribute of traffic from threads. You need to knit a black rectangle with knitting needles, wrap a bag of kefir or milk with it, sew from the side, top and bottom.
To fit the bottom and top, knit rectangles as large as these sides, sew them to the main canvas. Crochet the circles, attach them in place.
Cardboard and tinsel will also make a wonderful traffic light.
Scenario "The Adventures of Dunno in a Noisy City"
After the crafts according to the traffic rules are brought to the kindergarten, it's time to start the holiday. On it, the guys in a playful way, with interest, will learn the basics of behavior on the road.
To the music, children enter the hall, sit on high chairs. The host greets them and their parents and says that we live in a beautiful city. There are streets, lanes, cars rush along the roads, buses go. To cross the road in such busy places, you need to know the rules of the road.
Next, you can turn on the song "Traffic Light". After that, proceed to the game warm-up. The host asks:
- The name of the seat where passengers are waiting for transport?
- With the help of what sound instrument does the traffic police officer stop the violator?
- A silent tool of a traffic police officer?
- What part of the road are pedestrians allowed to walk on?
- What is the name of the part of the road where traffic is moving?
Answers:
- Stop.
- Whistle.
- Wand.
- Sidewalk.
- Mostovaya.
Then Dunno comes in and says that having got into a noisy city, he was confused and does not know what the traffic light signs mean, so he barely crossed the road, almost got run over by a car. Dunno asks the guys to help him and teach him how to cross the road.
The presenter says that the guys know the basic rules of the road, and now they will tell you how to cross the road. Then, in turn, the children come out, read poetry. The first one says that the traffic light is a great helper, warns when to go and when not.
The second child gets up and reads in verse that the red color indicates that there is danger nearby. In no case should you go across the road where traffic is running when this traffic light is on. Yellow encourages pedestrians to wait, green lights up and invites them to cross the road. Then the guys tell a poem about a pedestrian crossing, about a zebra. After all, only on such markings can you cross the pavement.
Next, the game begins, which is called "Collect the puzzle". Children are given large puzzles with road signs or traffic lights. They have to collect them. You can divide the guys into two teams to arrange a competition.
This is followed by an active game with flags. Children line up at one end of the hall near the baseline. The teacher stands on the other side of the hall, holding a flag in his hand. If that one is green, you can go. When the teacher raises the red, the child should immediately stop. When the green attribute is raised again, you need to keep moving. The winner is the one who goes the fastest all the way without mistakes.
For the next competition, you need to make petals, a core out of cardboard, lay it all in the form of a flower on a table or on a carpet. On the back of these blanks are written questions regarding traffic rules. If the children still cannot read, their parents will do it for them, but the children themselves must be responsible.
You can think of other contests to hold a holiday related to traffic rules. They can be studied not only indoors, but also outdoors. When it snows, spray black stripes on the cleared path with a can of dark paint to create a pedestrian crossing. Place traffic lights on both sides of it. You will simulate the situation by "including" different colors.
You can also draw some road signs on the snow and study them with your children.
Such games will help children to learn better the rules of behavior on the road, and crafts will become visual material that will facilitate the assimilation of the material.
If you want to see how to make a craft on the topic of traffic rules, the following story is for you.
In the second, you will learn how to make a traffic light.
