Step one: for a two-page spread, cut out two rectangles measuring 15 cm by 30 cm from fabric. We fold the rectangles with their front sides facing each other and stitch them on three sides. Turn it inside out and insert the padding polyester rectangle. Sew the fourth side with a hidden seam. We sew the part around the perimeter using a machine or by hand. We make two such turns in total.

For the ears, we cut out four parts, sew them together two at a time, turn them inside out, fill them with rustling material, add a bead and sew them to the head. We embroider the eyes, mouth, sew on a bow and buttons.

We make a sleeping bear in the same way as a bunny. We sew him a nightgown. Using velvet fabric, sew a blanket to the bottom edge of the page. We attach Velcro to the top of the blanket.

For the back cover, cut out a month from the fleece, cut a hole in it and sew two loops. We sew the month to the cover with a hidden seam and thread a cord with stars through the loops.

Then we make a page with carrots. We cut the orange fabric into cones and sew five carrots, filling them with padding polyester. We sew up the top part of the carrots together with the tops made of green fleece. We sew an elastic band and a brown fabric basket onto the page. For a pyramid on the page in the center we place sticky tape. We sew small blocks to which we attach Velcro on the bottom side.

Step three: make a flower meadow. Cut out a flower, a twig and a leaf from fleece and sew it on with a hidden seam. We do not sew up the top of the flower; a bee will live there. At the bottom of the flower we leave a small hole for the lace with the caterpillar. At the bottom of the page we sew grass from braid. We cut out the butterfly and sew it on as shown in the diagram.

Toys for children should not only be beautiful, but educational and safe. Fabric books are just such toys. They help children acquire useful skills, since the pages of such a book contain many individual developmental elements.

To make a book you will need:

• Cardboard;
• Scissors;
• Needle;
• Threads;
• Buttons;
• Beads;
• Colored fabric.

As a base, you can use cardboard folded like an accordion. This way you won’t be afraid that the pages will come off and fall out. We will give an example of a master class on creating a cover for a fabric book with your own hands.

First you will need to cut out two rectangles from construction paper that will be the outer covers for your book. They need to be covered with suitable fabric or felt, decorated according to your taste and idea.

For the pages you will also need to choose thick cardboard, but it should be thinner than the cardboard for the cover. The height of the pages should be the same as for the cover, and the width can be calculated by multiplying the width of the cover by the number of pages you need, plus two more pages to glue them to the cover. Cardboard pages can also be covered with felt or covered with fabric, as you wish. After the cover is ready, you can start decorating the pages of the felt book with your hands.

DIY educational book for a child. How to make.

What colors to choose for decorating a fabric book

Educational books made of fabric are created in order to teach a child important and necessary skills, so choose clean and simple colors. Let it be red, blue, green, yellow, pink, orange, purple. Based on these colors, you will teach your child to recognize them, so it is better to make sure that the baby does not get confused.

You can sew one page in a book or stick multi-colored geometric shapes on Velcro, then you can teach your baby how to recognize shapes and learn colors at the same time.

What ideas to use to decorate a fabric book

We will give a master class on creating pages for a book from felt. Of course, it will be interesting for kids if you use buttons, buttons, snakes, ribbons and other things that...

On one of the pages you can sew or attach snakes, buttons, snaps, carabiners, Velcro, and laces. Let your child practice fastening and unfastening these useful devices. You can use the pocket making tutorial and make the pockets fasten with buttons, press studs and Velcro.

You can fasten circles on buttons, not just one, but several, the kids will really like this opportunity. On the page you can sew an improvised sketchy sneaker and try to teach children lacing.

On another page you can use a master class on creating balls and pyramid puzzles from felt with your own hands. For example, to make a puzzle ball, you will first need to start with a pattern. Cut out a circle of paper that suits your diameter and cut it into 4. Take colored felt and cut out each piece from it. Sew Velcro to the place where the circle is attached to the page, also sew the corresponding part of the Velcro to each piece and your puzzle is ready.

A master class on creating a pyramid will be very similar to a master class on creating a circle puzzle. You will need to cut out the details of the pyramid, let there be 3-5 of them. Each piece will need to be made in the form of a rectangle; you can sew felt pads and stuff them with cotton wool. Then you will get a beautiful one, you will need to sew Velcro onto each part. On the page of the book you also need to sew the velcro backing.

A good idea would be to use ribbons to decorate a fabric book with your own hands. For educational fabric books to be useful, they must teach something. This way you can sew three ribbons onto the page of the book. You can show your child how to braid a hair and he can repeat this training with his own hands.

On a felt page you can make a sign in which your child will learn to count. The simplest master class is to cut out numbers from felt and sew them to a page. Stretch a ribbon near each number and put the number of beads corresponding to the number on each ribbon. This handmade educational book will be very convenient to use when teaching your child to count.

On one page you can make a small garden with fruits and vegetables. You can sew vegetables and fruits from felt with your own hands, or you can stick a photo of these fruits and vegetables on Velcro. This page will be very useful for children, as they can easily remember the names of vegetables and fruits.

Instead of a vegetable garden, you can make roads with cars or a sea with boats. the master class on creating such pages will be the same as the others - you will only need felt and Velcro, as well as a little of your own imagination.

Patterning a boat or bus is very simple. You can find a photo of the object you need and simply print it, cutting it into important components. If this is a boat, then these will be the sails, anchor and sides.

You can make an educational game of hide and seek with your baby on some page. For example, you might find this master class useful. Cut out a cap or hat from felt. Sew it so that the hat can be raised. You can hide your eyes, smiling mouth and hair under the hat. You can use photos of eyes and other ideas. If you use this master class, you will delight the children and they will be delighted.

From the very first days, the child studies the world around him. The task of adults is to help him in this difficult matter. However, you can only engage with a small child in a playful way. Therefore, various aids and educational toys are invented for very young children. Teachers know this very well. They all note that a soft children's book is convenient for early learning. DIY for kindergarten it's easy to do.

Where to begin?

From the very beginning, you need to understand for what age the baby book will be intended. For very young children (up to 1 year), tactile sensations are important. Therefore, a homemade book should contain materials with different textures and shapes. Those who are older (from one to 3-4 years old) are already eagerly studying the world. For them, the book can focus on various details, come up with Interesting games and so on. Preschoolers will already appreciate a story book in which they need to complete tasks to help the main character.

Next you need to think about what will be in the book. Depending on the age of the child, a do-it-yourself children's book for kindergarten can be made as a collection of riddles and tasks, an illustrated fairy tale, a family history, etc. It can be dedicated to developing someone one skill or several.

If a do-it-yourself children's book for kindergarten will be assembled on rings (assembly methods will be discussed later), then it can be made the same as the pages. If not, then it is better to postpone its creation until later, when the size of the spine is clear.

Now you need to lay out all future pages and, according to the plan, prepare the details. What you can do with them:

• String large beads onto a cord. These will be improvised scores.
• On one side make a house with apartments of different colors, and on the other - butterflies of the same color. The task is to sort them by color. Fastening is done using Velcro or buttons.

• Fill animal figures with various squeakers and fillers to develop tactile sensations.

After all the parts are laid out, you can begin assembly. If possible, then, of course, it is better to sew a book on a typewriter. However, no one forbids flashing it manually. By the way, the stitching can also be contrasting.

In order for a do-it-yourself children's book for kindergarten to be made, it needs to be put together. The easiest way is to sew loops along one edge and assemble them on a lace. You can also punch holes and thread rings. In both cases, it can be supplemented with new pages as the child develops.

If you are creating a fairy tale book with your own hands for kindergarten, then it is better to collect it under a common cover. It should be spread as 2 pages plus spine size. For the assembly to be successful, you need to sew small strips of thin fabric from one edge of the fleece blanks. With their help, you can fix the pages on the cover.

Sew 2 blanks on 3 sides, put filler inside (sintepon, for example). This is necessary so that the pages do not wrinkle. Then sew up the remaining 4th side. The first page is ready. For the cover, use a coarser material, or add a little more filler. Everything that happens next depends on your imagination, perseverance and, of course, the age of the baby.

Mom's first experience

How to make applications

Transfer the design you like to paper, cut it out, then outline it on the fabric, do not forget to leave a small indentation (allowance) for the internal seams. Remember to sew 3 sides inside out. Then you need to turn the product inside out and carefully sew it on the front side. This also applies to the pages of a book. To make it look beautiful and neat.

Prepare in advance the applications that you will use to describe the plot in the picture.

When creating a homemade book for blind children, try to use different material: soft and dense, rustling. After all, through tactile perception, a visually impaired baby learns to understand the world.

Developing fine motor skills

We combine something pleasant - a game - with something useful - developing little fingers. What will be interesting to the child? After all, it will be wonderful if the baby learns to lace shoes, tie shoelaces, fasten and unfasten buttons on his own.

To do this, include pages where you can weave a lace. For example, glue a boot applique, make small holes, finish them, stitching well around the edges. First, thread the lace together with the baby, then he will begin to do it himself. After 2 years, the baby can master this skill on his own. After 3-3.5, learn to tie a knot and knit a bow.

Consider pockets with buttons. For example, a leaf on a button under which a small caterpillar will hide.

Firmly sew several small colored snakes. Your baby will have fun opening and closing them again and again.

Study of shapes

Thanks to a small book, the child will learn to distinguish between large and small objects. Make 2 baskets on the page, one for small objects (circles/squares/triangles), the other for large ones.

You can make simple and complex applications from small and larger ones geometric shapes. Snowman: place the largest circle at the base, glue a smaller one on top of it. We build a Christmas tree using the same type. You can build a large/small house with windows from rectangles and squares, and use the triangle as a roof.

Developing thinking

Put together simple puzzles: images of a car, the sun, animals, a ship. Study vegetables and fruits. You can use the same baskets for this. We put fruits in one, vegetables in the other.

Study natural phenomena. You can attach leaves to the tree with Velcro; when they fall, autumn comes. Create snow with your own hands, fill the space with snowflakes, build a snowman. When the sun comes out, it’s day, and when it hides, it’s night. Everything is simple and easy.

Study animals. For example, domestic animals live near the house, and wild animals live in the forest. Soon the baby will figure it out on his own and begin to complete this simple task without mistakes.

Create a children's book fairy tale with your own hands, using ready-made templates Velcro heroes.

Studying colors

Book made of paper or cardboard

Paper books are suitable for older children; I started making such books for my son when he was 10 months old, but everything is individual.

Why do you need a paper book, if there is now a huge selection of books in stores, many will ask. Firstly, not all books contain adequate pictures. In modern books you can find disproportionate people, inadequate images, distorted fairy tales that teach in a completely different way than we would like.

We have a big beautiful book “Geese-Swans”, the pictures in it are beautiful, good, kind faces, human, but the content of the fairy tale is distorted. The girl helped the apple tree not out of the kindness of her heart, but because the apple tree would hide her. We all remember the fairy tale, how a girl ran looking for her brother, met an apple tree that was groaning under the weight of apples and helped her, took pity on her, although she was in a hurry. And on the way back, the apple tree stole them from the swans. And the stove not only hid it, but then also treated it to a pie. And in our new book, what is brought up? This is a photo of the described scene from our book:

1. adequate pictures, not oversaturated with colors or distorted faces
2. the scenario of the fairy tale, what it teaches: goodness without selfishness, or do me a favor, and I will help you for it...

Of course, it’s very difficult to look for tricks in fairy tales and it’s not always possible to see everything in the store; many of the books that we bought or were given as gifts were burned at the stake))

Now about what you can come up with

Print the book yourself and paste it there nice pictures. It's not difficult, you just need to have basic Word skills. The second option is to cut pictures from books, magazines and glue them into an album and sign them. This is how you can make educational cards and therapeutic tales, and just our old ones good fairy tales. You can even make voluminous fairy tales.

You can involve older brothers or sisters, or you can hang out with your baby. From the age of 1, kids love to make appliqués. And the most important thing is that after 4 years you won’t get tired of the book, since the child himself took part. And after 5 years, the child, already an adult, can open it himself, read it, finish drawing something, write something down. This is something more than just a book, these are your pleasant memories together, such fairy tales will be remembered much longer and will lay much stronger bonds in your personality. good programs than such books as our “Geese-Swans in Modern Processing”

It's a matter of little things - desire, imagination, time and lack of laziness.

For older children

Older children need more complex and interesting stories. You can make books about planet earth, about space, about production, about countries, and mathematical problems.

It’s easier for older children to make paper books, but soft books with tic-tac-toe games or action games that you can take on the road will be interesting and practical. Even chess and checkers can be made from fabric, they do not take up space, and are much brighter and more original than ordinary ones.

If you're looking to keep yourself and your child entertained, here's a great activity! You can make a baby book with your own hands for a child of any age, even one who is over 20.

After all, the meaning of this book depends on the material and content. The tips are also suitable for those who were asked to make a book with their own hands as homework.

The materials for a homemade book can be completely different. Only your imagination or financial component can limit you. The simplest options are a book made of paper and fabric. First, we are faced with the main task of coming up with a plot and composition.

It is for children of this age that it is better to make a book from fabrics, not paper. After all, it is difficult for a child to understand and realize that tearing a book is bad. In addition, the use of materials of different textures develops tactile Feel. Try not to make small parts that are easy to tear off and put in your mouth.

Beginning of work.

Cut the fabric into pieces 2–2.5 cm in length, trim the edges. Then thread one piece into one ring, fold it in half and sew it to the book. You need to sew it so that two columns emerge from all the segments.

If you can insert the grommets, you won't have to worry so much. Plus, you can add a zipper that will be interesting to unfasten and fasten, as well as pockets in which to hide surprises.

Next, start creating a machine that will move along the lace. For the rest of the items, it will be enough to make two holes and thread a ribbon through them, and sew the ends to the book.

When a child begins to explore the world, he is interested in everything. The best way for a child to come into contact with the outside world is through a baby book, which you can either buy or create with your own hands. Such a book must be issued in the first year upon admission to any modern kindergarten.

Parents involve their children in creating a baby book - this is its main idea. At the same time, the kid will be incredibly proud that he put his soul into the common cause, participating in the process. When creating a book together with parents, the baby develops skills in working with small parts and with scissors. At this time, the child develops speech and communication skills, and there is a desire to further participate in teamwork. In addition, the child becomes even closer spiritually to his parents.

The theme of a baby book, as a rule, is set by kindergarten teachers, while parents can only choose materials for production and make it in a short time. It makes sense to include fairy tales in homemade crafts and use a variety of colors and animal images. The plot and design of the book depends solely on the imagination of its creators.

Material selection

What the material will be depends mainly on the age of the child and the imagination of the parents. Recommended materials Regarding the baby's age:

The most suitable fabric for decorating a DIY baby book for kindergarten is thick cotton. This material is easier to design and iron; moreover, it interacts best with starch, which will greatly facilitate the manufacturing process for parents. You can also add fleece, then the book will be softer, but also voluminous.

Design ideas

Little naughty creatures love everything soft, voluminous, rustling, everything that can be unscrewed, pulled, removed. Plus it's incredibly useful for fine motor skills of a child's hands. That is why, if you make a lot of removable elements on the pages of a baby book, this will be the most advantageous option. It’s good if these are heroes of your favorite cartoons and fairy tales. You can buy them at any craft store. If there are no such stores in the city, you will have to sew it yourself. It is advisable to additionally secure all elements, small and large, with ropes, since these parts can get lost and will not be easy to find among children. There are many ideas in the master class videos.

Children are also interested in construction toys. You can make a house in which the doors, windows, and roof will be on Velcro, or a car with removable wheels on the same Velcro. Multi-colored puzzles with each piece on Velcro are also popular. For older children, you can play a game of tic-tac-toe.

It is advantageous to make pages from fabric to which Velcro adheres well and each detail will be separate. This way the child will be able to create new paintings every day.

Would be a good idea add pockets to the book, into which removable parts can be folded, as shown in the master classes.

Little children love to find some new hidden details under the elements, for example, a bug under the petals of a flower or a bird’s nest behind a leaf on a tree.

If the elements can be iterated, this will be optional fun activity for the baby almost from the first year of life. Such details can be colored pebbles on a rope or beads under a transparent fabric. Children are also interested in labyrinths. To create a labyrinth in a baby book, you need to take transparent fabric and machine stitch the passages. Throw a few beads inside. The child will roll beads through the maze, thereby developing fine motor skills for the future.

Not a bad idea for a baby book - this is lacing. In every kindergarten, children learn to tie their shoelaces. A baby book can help your child in this difficult task. A small applique of a shoe, rings and other details of your choice are sewn onto the page. Either laces or strips of fabric stylized as them are threaded into the rings. The simulator is ready!

All girls are crazy about felt dolls, especially if they can comb their hair and change their clothes. Aerobatics if the doll has her own house with interior items. In this style and with such an idea, you can design the entire book. On each page there is a room with corresponding furniture and interior items on Velcro.

Fastening

You can pin pages in several ways:

Today, in big cities, master classes are held on making baby books with your own hands. Residents of small towns can watch the video on the Internet.

Despite the fact that the fabric book has a very large volume, the pages should not fall apart. It is necessary to sew fastex or tape to the cover. The most suitable size baby book for kindergarten is A5 format. With a large number of elements, it will be almost impossible to bind together more than six or seven pages. If six pages do not accommodate the wild imagination of the handicraft parent, you can create additional pages that will periodically replace each other.

The first cardboard book

When a child reaches a certain age, he can make a baby book on his own. This is usually allowed in older groups of kindergarten, when children learn to make appliqués on their own, skillfully using glue and children's scissors. Such a book will be something like “profiles for friends” for children of the 90s. You can paste clippings from magazines or just pictures from the Internet, printed on a color printer, into an album or a beautiful notebook.

If the parent has drawing skills, you can safely use them to design a baby book. Anything can be used: various paints, pencils, felt-tip pens, markers and even women's eye shadow and blush. You can also buy ready-made stickers in stores and supermarkets, which are usually collected by type and theme. Stickers come in volume and with glitter. The latter are especially popular among little fashionistas. Gluing some elements of the book can be entrusted to the child (of course, under the supervision of a parent), but it is important to remember that the glue that the child will deal with should not be toxic.

The most pleasant content of a baby book, from the point of view of a small child, will be photographs. When not just unfamiliar objects appear on the pages, but beloved and dear people and toys, this pleases not only the baby’s eyes, but also the happy parents.

Attaching the paper baby book:

Very beautiful examples books are made from scrapbooking paper. Already applied to such sheets beautiful pattern, all that remains is to add pictures and photographs and other elements at your discretion, to create a story.

Options for creating a baby book for kindergarten a large number of. You just need to be patient and imaginative. It would be useful to throw away all adult problems and return to your sunny childhood, then anyone, even the most serious and strict parent, will be able to create a real fairy tale for their little miracle.
