Introduction.

We all know how relevant the environmental topic is nowadays, when much depends on human activities, which are increasingly leading to the destruction of the environment.

What can we, adults, do to preserve it? First of all, teach children from an early age to understand the significance of nature, teach them to love, take care of it and, of course, direct all actions only towards the preservation and revival of all living things.

Where does it all begin? From observing on walks, from conducting research activities, different types of games, from getting to know works about nature, from artistic activities and much, much more. The main thing is to interest the child and then he himself will want to know even more, because children are very inquisitive.

Therefore, I would like to offer this master class on creating an ecological toy, “The Grasshopper,” as one of the methods for introducing children to living nature. It is popularly called by many other names: eco-human, lively, eco-human. Many people think that making it is very difficult, so they buy it in stores, but after today’s lesson you will see that not only an adult, but also a child can make this toy. And joint creativity will leave unforgettable impressions and emotions.

What's unique about it? And the uniqueness lies in the fact that this toy is alive. After all, she grows “hair” - grass, which you can later water, cut, and do various hairstyles. The child will be able to observe the growth of a plant from a small grain to a strong, mature sprout.

Progress:

What do we need to create a toy? So: nylon stockings or socks, scissors, glue (preferably “moment”) or a glue gun, sawdust, seeds (barley, rye, wheat, lawn grass), small details for decoration (eyes, buttons, beads, flowers...), small rubber bands (optional).

Step 1. Now let's get to work. First, you need to cut off several thin strips from the stocking: these will be the ropes with which we will connect the main parts. And cut off a piece of nylon stocking (determine the size yourself: depending on the size of the toy), turn it inside out, tie one end with a rope and turn it back so that the rope remains inside.

Step 2. It is necessary to pour seeds: 2-3 spoons. Distribute them, add sawdust on top, compact them well and form a tight ball or oval.

Step 3. Then squeeze the toy with both hands and tie it with a string in the same place. Where the seeds are, there will be a mushroom cap, and the lower part will be the stem. Shape the hat by flattening. I would like to note that working with sawdust (especially if it is small) is reminiscent of working with plasticine, so you can easily cope with this task.

Step 4. But that is not all. To make our fungus more interesting and fabulous, we will make it arms and legs. To do this, from the lower part (the mushroom stem), we “pull out” the arms and legs on the sides and tie them with ropes or rubber bands. Again, I want to note that it is easier to work with elastic bands, but I do not recommend bandaging the main parts with them, as they may tear.

Step 5. Now let's start decorating the mushroom. First, of course, you should glue or draw eyes, a mouth, and a nose with a marker. Then it all depends on your imagination: you can glue a flower, a ribbon, buttons, etc. But you shouldn’t heavily decorate the places where the seeds are, because “hair” will grow there.

One more tip. If you want to make a horizontal toy (hippopotamus, turtle...), then first you must pour sawdust into the stocking, compact it, and then, pushing the sawdust to the side with a spoon, add the seeds.

I hope that this master class will be useful to you, because in such an interesting and entertaining form of learning about ecology, children will be able to observe, analyze, and draw conclusions.

Target master class: dissemination and transfer of teaching experience, teaching techniques making an ecological toy - a herbalist.

Tasks:

Professional development mastery of teachers;

Introducing teachers of preschool educational institutions to techniques making ecological toys.

Ecological culture is a consciously correct attitude towards phenomena, objects of living and inanimate nature. Preschoolers develop environmental culture, subject to close contact and various forms of interaction of the child with plants and animals available in the premises and area of the kindergarten. The child learns that all living things have certain needs, which can be satisfied only in the presence of external conditions - a habitat suitable for a particular organism. Ecological Education of preschool children is the knowledge of living things that are next to the child, in connection with the environment, and on this basis the development of the correct forms of interaction with him.

By observing the phenomena of natural objects, the child enriches his sensory experience, on which his further creativity is based. The more deeply a child learns about the mysteries of the world around him, the more questions he has. The main task of an adult is to help the child independently find answers to these questions. In order to satisfy children's curiosity, instill the first skills of activity and independent thinking, our kindergarten teachers create conditions for children's search and research activities, which contributes to the formation of children's aesthetic perception, a sense of beauty and a humane attitude towards nature.

Objects and natural phenomena are clearly presented to children. Children learn many connections and relationships between natural phenomena through the process of observation, where children become familiar with the properties and qualities of objects and natural phenomena and learn to notice their changes and development. They develop curiosity.

In order to involve children in practical activities of growing cultural and ornamental plants, to develop interest in experimental and research activities, my colleagues and I are creating various projects - "Vegetable gardens on the window". At the same time, it is very important that children actively participate in planting and subsequent care of plants. In order to interest the guys, we offer make an ecological toy with them - a grasshopper.

Who it grasshopper? This eco-toy, which you can buy in a store, but it’s much more interesting to make it yourself. Idea herbalist or herbalist belongs to a couple of amateur gardeners from Indonesia. All the kids love this one toy since they can watch how the hair- blades of grass grow from a toy. First ours the grasshopper will be just a toy made with your own hands, but in a few days it will begin to sprout grass and he will turn into an object of observation. Such toy not only develops imagination and fine motor skills, but also teaches responsibility. After all, in order the little grass grows, he needs care. Eco-toy instills in children a desire to grow a plant from seeds themselves, hard work, a caring attitude towards the surrounding nature and accuracy when doing work; teaches simple labor skills; forms an idea of needs plants: heat, light, moisture, soil. The child happily waters his toy, watches it grow every day grass, and when the time comes, he cuts it, making intricate hairstyles. The work process is simple and interesting.

Necessary materials for creation grasshopper:

Lawn seeds herbs, or oats;

– nylon tights or socks;

– several thin strips of tights, or small elastic bands;

– sawdust;

- scissors,

– acrylic paints and materials for decoration (eyes, beads, ribbons).

Order manufacturing:

1. Take a piece of nylon tights about 10 cm. We tie it on one side and make something like a nylon bag. Sprinkle a handful of lawn seeds grass or oats. We fill the remaining space of the bag with sawdust and stuff it. After the entire bag is filled, tie the other side and cut off the excess fabric.

2. Next, we begin to form the resulting ball into grasshopper. To do this, we use prepared strips of tights or elastic. With their help you can form the head, hands, nose, ears of our toys. We experiment, and we will definitely come up with some funny creature.

3. Next, we proceed to decorating and coloring. First we glue the eyes. These can be small buttons, they can be cut from thick fabric, you can buy ready-made ones in the store. "eyes". We draw eyelashes and mouth with acrylic paints. We add accessories at our discretion. The grasshopper can be painted, then it will be even more colorful, brighter. For coloring it is better to use acrylic paints, because in the future we will water our grasshopper and the gouache will leak and smudge.

4. That's all, we turned out great eco-toy! Now we soak it in water for about an hour so that it properly absorbs the water and the seeds that are in it swell. Then we put toy in a small container, watch, don’t forget to water.

After 3-5 days our grass will begin to appear"hairstyle".

After 14 days we can trim grass.

An ecological toy is two in one: toy and a houseplant, which in a playful way explains to the child how to care for plants. The grasshopper is asking for it to be touched, stroked, picked up, and hair done. It is very interesting to watch how the first tender roots appear, then green grass! It's nice to touch the little one grass, feel its coolness, hear the voice of nature itself.

Rubber toys

Plan Toys from Thailand is the world's first company to produce toys made from rubber trees. The products are made using organic wood, which remains after latex is produced. Toy parts are painted with natural water-based dyes and joined with formaldehyde-free glue. The packaging is made from recycled paper and cardboard.

The company actively uses renewable energy sources. The factory workshops are equipped with large skylights and solar panels. Solar energy also powers dryers and water cooling systems. The enterprise has its own power plant. It runs on biomass - food waste from the dining room, sawdust and wood chips.

Since 2004, the company has been planting rubber trees for production needs. In addition, Plan Toys accepts its old toys for recycling. The company also tries to teach its young clients how to respect nature. The toy collection includes, for example, a mini garbage truck with the international recycling logo. Price on the website: from $10.

"Papier ball" made from waste paper

In Tula they decided to return to the old tradition - making toys from papier-mâché, only on an industrial scale. To make environmentally friendly toys, pressed paper pulp made using special technology is used.

The Shar group of companies has its own printing house and waste paper recycling plant. Waste from printed materials is sent for recycling, undergoes special treatment with water and subsequently becomes molds for nesting dolls, Smeshariki, angels and other characters and cartoon heroes.

All the child has to do is cut out, color and glue all the parts. Toys and art kits made from 100% recycled paper on the website from RUB 199.

Milk container toys

“Children, drink milk - you will be healthy!”, and you will also receive environmentally friendly rattles, construction sets and cars. The production of toys from plastic milk containers has been established in California. Used packaging is processed into environmentally friendly HDPE plastic (low-density polyethylene).

Every kilogram of recycled containers used to make green toys saves the energy equivalent of 3,000 AAA batteries. According to Green Toys calculations, this energy would be enough to use the TV for 3 weeks or a month of laptop operation without recharging. The entire production process, from collecting milk containers to packaging toys, takes place in one US state.

The absence of long-distance transport allows us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Eco-toys are tested to be free of lead, cadmium and phthalates, and are packaged in corrugated boxes made from recycled materials. Retail chains and stores in Russia that stock Green Toys can be found on the website. Price: from 15$

Solar electric cars and motorcycles made from CDs

A mini-power plant, a transformable solar car, a super waste recycler and other innovative eco-toys are being created by Elenco engineers.

They allow children to play and learn at the same time. Educational toys help a child look at old things in a new way. You can power cars and robots using solar energy, build a motorcycle from old CDs, or create a rainbow in your room using the power of sunlight.

The EcoBiker toy will show the principle of operation of a wind generator. The miniature racer can be placed on the handlebars of a bicycle and watched as the fan powers the LED. The stronger the wind, the faster the toy cyclist will pedal.

The Elenco brand produces more than 600 types of toys and science kits for children 6+. The company's products have been awarded numerous "green" awards. Price: from $25

Energy from water and salt

The Gigo Eco Power construction set from Gigo from Taiwan runs on salt energy. The fascinating process of mixing sodium chloride and water creates an alternative energy source that is environmentally friendly.

About a hundred parts of the designer allow you to assemble 22 different models of equipment and run them using a homemade battery.

The eco-design elements are made of high-quality plastic and paper, and are compatible with other toys in the Eco Green series. Price: from 28$

Cotton and corn fiber toys

Re-Play's Dandelion line contains 100% organic cotton and corn fiber filling. Eco-toys are made for little ones; all parts are made only from natural fabrics.

The elements are safe and practical. For example, the Organic bear blanket and Organic doggy blanket toys are made to help your baby with teething. The products can be washed in a machine.

Dandelion is part of The Organic Trade Association, which supports representatives of the organic industry and promotes respect for the environment. Price: from 10$.

Eco-kits for creativity

The idea of creating eco-friendly family art kits came from women in Wisconsin. They decided to create art projects from recycled materials, copper wire, old beads, leftover natural fabrics and wool.

All Artterro eco-kits are assembled by hand in a single copy and packaged in biodegradable covers made from corn and boxes made from recycled waste. You can make a frame from the “smart” packaging and hang the resulting creation on a hook, and use the inner tray as storage space.

The eco-set includes plant-based paints for decoupage, balls made of natural wool, felt and soy fiber, as well as old beads made of glass and wood, and cotton canvas.

Most of the company's materials come from local small businesses. This reduces transport costs and, as a result, reduces the carbon footprint. The company runs a mentoring program for teenagers to help them collect and deliver recycled materials. Price: from 13$

Wooden toys from Lithuania

A Lithuanian couple creates wooden eco-toys with their own hands. In anticipation of their first child, young parents moved from Vilnius to the suburbs to be closer to nature, left their jobs and opened a small store, Friendlytoys.

All materials used are child-friendly, safe and biodegradable: wood, water-based paints, raw linseed oil.

There is no need to throw away toys that have expired; Friendlytoys tries to create items that will be interesting even when children grow up. Price: from $15.

Master Class. Ecological toy – DIY grasshopper

This master class is intended for teachers and parents.

The presented work is a unique ecological toy, made by hand. Its highlight is that you water it with water and after a while, juicy, tender, thick grass begins to grow from its head, creating a very cool head of hair. It will be interesting for both you and your children to watch the process. After the grasshopper’s “hair” has grown a little, you can use it to create hairstyles, carefully trimming the grass the way you like best. Later it will definitely grow again. Moreover, green grass can be used to feed animals in this corner of nature.

Purpose of this craft: This toy will not only decorate your home and bring joy, but will also benefit those who have pets.

The purpose of the master class: dissemination and transfer of pedagogical experience, teaching techniques for making an original toy - a herbalist.

“Tell me - I will forget,

Show me - I'll remember

Let me do this

And it will be mine forever.”

A person is always drawn to something new, unknown, and in everyday life, among the gray everyday life, we are looking for joy and celebration. I'm not an exception. I suggest you try it too! In honor of the first month of summer, let's make a unique environmental toy. I present to your attention a master class on making herbs!

To make a grasshopper we will need:

2. Cereal seeds (barley, wheat) or lawn grass seeds.

4. Scissors.

6. Acrylic paints

7. Pieces of colored self-adhesive wallpaper

Step-by-step process for making herbal tea

Step 1. Let's start making our grass. First we will make the body. Cut off part of the stocking or tights as shown in the photo. For tightening, prepare small pieces of the same nylon. Tighten the end of the stocking with a piece of nylon.

Step 2. Turn our base inside out so that the tail goes inside.

Step 3. Now take a tablespoon and add the seeds. Distribute the seeds in the place where you plan for your grass to grow.

Step 4. Now fill the stocking with sawdust. We put more sawdust, we are not afraid to crush it so that more can fit.

Step 5. These are the heavy bags we got.

Step 6. When there is enough sawdust, tie the tip of the stocking with a nylon trim and cut off the excess with scissors.

Step 7. Now we begin to form the future grasshopper. It depends on your imagination. We separated a small amount of sawdust, made, for example, a spout, tied it, tightened it with trim and cut off the excess. And so whatever you want: noses, ears, paws...

Step 8. This is what I ended up with.

Step 9. We bring our babies to life. Glue the eyes, nose, and mouth with “Master” glue. I cut them out of self-adhesive wallpaper. In general, eyes are sold directly in sets in office supplies. If desired, paint the grasshopper with acrylic paints.

Step 10. Our grass is ready!

Step 11. Now you need to soak the grasshopper in water for 1 hour so that it absorbs the water.

Step 12. Place the herb in a warm and bright place and water it every day so that it is constantly able to
