Medical Video: 3 Homemade Inventions
Children spend most of their time playing. That's why they really like toys ranging from cars, dolls, puzzle, or balls that you can easily find in a toy store. But when your child seems to be getting bored with his collection, why not try to make yourself something new? Psstt ... Apart from being certainly cheaper, your homemade toys (DIY or do it yourself) also at the same time help sharpen children's creativity.
The choice of easy and inexpensive children's toys is made
What are you waiting for, let's make the following toys so that your little one doesn't get bored playing at home!
1. Playdough flour
Who says flour can only be used to make cakes? You can modify the remaining flour in the kitchen to make "plasticine" that is much safer than wax plasticine (clay/play dough) Little ones can form flour plasticine into various forms, such as stars, moons, cars, flowers and others.
In addition to sharpening children's thinking and imagination skills, this game also trains children's motor skills to grasp, twist or press objects. Amazingly, this plasticine is just as durable as toy plasticine in general.
Well, making this game is quite easy, really. You only need to prepare several ingredients, such as:
- 1 glass of flour
- 1 glass of water
- 2 teaspoons of cream tartar
- 1/3 cup of salt
- 1 tablespoon of canola oil
- Food coloring
In a plastic basin or bowl, mix water, flour and oil. Then mix well until the mixture is smooth, no one has clumped or milled. Set aside for a while, and heat the pan on the stove. Add the plasticine mixture to the pan, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat.
After the mixture has cooled slightly, drop the dye sufficiently and continue until the color is evenly distributed. Remove the flour mixture and cool. Playdough is ready to be played by your little one with you and his friends.
2. Basket balls from plastic bottles
Plastic drinking bottles at home are wasted? Yeah, it's a shame. Even though this former bottle can be used as a fun kid toy, the ball basket. This game is very effective for your baby who likes to throw balls.
If you are anxious about throwing a child's ball about home furniture, providing ball cladding can be the solution. How to make it quite easy, you need to prepare ingredients like the following:
- 1 1.5 liter plastic bottle
- 5 plastic balls the size of a hand grip
- Masking tape
- Small basket
- Scissor
- Marker
If the ingredients have been collected, measure the child's waist height near the wall. Then, mark with markers. Cut the plastic bottle and just take the center. Then, stick the long tape on the inside of the bottle.
After that, attach the plastic bottle that has been taped to the wall. You have already imagined that a plastic bottle would be a basket of balls, right? After that, place a small basket or bucket below it to hold the ball that passes through the bottle. The ball basket game is complete and ready to play.
Don't forget to teach the child to throw the ball into the bottle basket. To make it more interesting, throwing a ball teaches children to count points how many balls come in.
In addition to training children's agility in throwing a ball, he can also learn concentration and counting.
3. Rainbow bubbles
Playing bubbles on the yard would be nice, right? The bubble that you will make is not an ordinary soap bubble, which is a rainbow bubble. The ingredients needed are definitely available in your home, such as:
- Used plastic bottles
- Kakai shirt
- Rubber
- Liquid soap
- Colorful food coloring
- Scissor
First, cut the end of the plastic bottle and cover the open end of the bottle with socks and tie it with rubber. Then, drop the dye over the socks following the edge of the bottle. Prepare the container and put liquid soap into it. Stick the bottle covered in socks into a container of soap. Bubbles are ready to be made by being blown.
You can mix the remaining soap in the container to make ordinary soap bubbles. Kid toys are quite exciting, right? Besides playing, children can learn various colors. Make sure you teach the child to blow the bottle, not breathe it.
