Aquarium from disposable plates
Required components:
- disposable plates;
- scissors;
- glue;
- paints.
One of the plates will become the main one for the body of the fish, the second - for the fin and tail. Cut out the elements, paint in the chosen color, dry well. Then cut a triangular shaped segment. This will be the fish's mouth. Attach the parts with glue and draw the eyes. Crafts on the theme of nature will occupy the younger and older generations equally.
Panel nest with birds
You will need:
- disposable paper plate;
- flaps of dense fabric. Felt will do;
- branches, pieces of tree bark, long needles of coniferous trees;
- cotton wool;
- glue.
Take a large diameter dish. Stick a bird figurine on it. Pre-cut it from thick fabric. Now cover the bottom of the bird with branches, bark, and needles, forming a nest. The final stage will be the formation of eggs from lumps of cotton wool. This is one of the options for making animals from natural material with your own hands.
More crafts on the theme of ecology
In 2021, the President of Russia signed a Decree declaring 2017 the year of ecology. The purpose of this order is to draw attention to the problems of environmental pollution and increase eco-literacy among the population. Including among students of school and preschool educational institutions.
The goal is to show the recycling of resources using an accessible example.

DIY crafts on the theme of ecology are ready.
The task of teachers is to instill in children a competent attitude towards nature and its resources. This topic is addressed in kindergartens and schools. Parents often learn a lot of new information from their children.
Layout of the natural area
Such prototypes of the environment develop in children concentration, observation, and keen interest in the environment. The main goal of ecology mock-ups is to study the fauna and habitats of animals. When creating it, you needed boxes, cotton wool, branches, leaves, flowers, grass. In general, everything that can be found in the nearest forested area. Your imagination will be needed here. The background of the model was decorated with nature appliqués.
They were used to create trees, mountains, the sun and the sky. Additionally, wire and PVA glue will be useful. Fauna can be represented by any small toys. Depending on what fragment of the planet you want to recreate, use mammals: cows, horses, pigs. For cold continents, take penguins. For hot countries - monkeys and parrots.
