Cut out armholes for the sleeves. Sew the toe to the heel for a back.
From the second sock, make a blank for the sleeves. To do this, you need to cut them in half and trim the bottom.

Sepals made of cardboard are glued to this "cover". Use a hole punch to punch holes and insert 2 rings here. It remains to attach the sticks, taking green scotch tape for this.
Such a flower will be a worthy decoration of the day, a good gift for a child.
If you decide to arrange a real holiday for the kids on June 1, make nameplates with the children in advance. Let the children decorate them with bows, paper flowers. Or you can glue it along the edges of the shell. Then there will be no hustle and bustle at the table about who will sit where.
It is good if the room for the celebration is decorated with balloons, paper garlands in the form of children holding hands. To do this, you need to cut strips from whatman paper, fold each one several times. A person's template is placed on the front side of these blanks, cut out. When you unfold the ribbons, you get a garland element. They are glued together in one long garland.
Also, the walls and the room can be decorated with lanterns and various paper crafts.
How to make a hat for Children's Day?
To prevent children from baking their heads on this warm summer day, make with them a funny hat in the form of a flower, a musketeer's hat, a clown cap. For girls, you can recommend these hats.

Divide the Whatman strip into 2 parts - one 7 cm, and the second 9 cm. Draw a dividing strip. On the larger side, you need to cut the same strips.
Fold the ends of this shape, glue them together to make a kind of crown.
Place the circle on top and glue the cut strips onto it. Glue the second circle on top.
Cut a strip of crepe paper so that it is longer than the length of the Whatman paper. The width is also wider, so that the headgear margins are then made from the remaining material.

Take:
- buns;
- butter;
- fresh and pickled cucumbers;

Warn children about the presence of toothpicks. But it is better to show the children beautiful sandwiches, then remove the toothpicks so that the children do not get hurt by them while eating. And here are some more ideas for what to cook on International Children's Day.
If you are spending this holiday at home, please the children with another dish. For example, with sausages. Arm yourself:

And here is another option that will tell you how to cook sausages for your child. Turn them into an octopus! Cut through those from one side, but not to the top, making 3 intersecting cuts - these are the tentacles of the seabed dweller. Carefully make 2 eyes with a knife on the other side, removing the dark skin from the sausages in these places.
When they are cooked, place them on a plate, spreading the cuts so that you can see they are tentacles. With such sausages, the child will eat with appetite a cooked vegetable side dish - be it boiled green beans, broccoli or mashed potatoes. All this can be turned into the seabed.
The child will be happy to eat rice, if you present it in an unusual way. Include this dish in the children's menu for the holiday by making a snowman. Rather, it will be a child to sculpt 3 lumps for him, you just supply your beloved child with sticky boiled rice, so crumbly will not work.
Cut out a scarf, hat, mittens from boiled carrots, and, for example, make a nose, buttons, eyes from beets.
Create a background with broccoli, add boiled meat, cheese.
Children love sandwiches. Prepare them an original one that looks like a frog. To do this, take:
- 2 slices of sausage;
- lettuce sheets;
- sour cream;
- white bread;
- olives;
- greens;
- egg.
Finely chop the greens, add sour cream, mix. Grease bread on both sides with this sauce, put a piece of sausage on one and the other.
Make holes for the eyes, put olives in here. It remains to place the children's sandwich on a lettuce leaf, decorate them with edible flowers.
To create lilies, cut the boiled egg in half, but place the knife at an angle to indicate the petals. Divide the egg halves. Place each on a lettuce leaf.
You will make another children's sandwich if you take:
- toast bread;
- bell pepper;
- salted fish roe;
- cherry tomato;
- greens;
- sour cream;
- olives.
With a slight movement of your hand, using a knife, turn the bell pepper into a flower. Its core will be fish roe. Put this splendor on a slice of bread, smeared with sour cream. Garnish with half cherry and a slice of olive. Let the child make a ladybug from the second half of a tomato by placing several eggs on its "shell".
For the children's menu, you can also recommend the following dish. Let him make a picture of the following vegetables. For this, come in handy: spinach, tomatoes, celery, parsley, cucumbers, carrots, olives, peas, corn.
Get the kids involved in making a fruit lobster.
