Parents strive to give their children the best, many even sew toys on their own and create unique educational books. DIY books usually do not require expensive materials and special skills. You just need to be careful and consistent in the steps to create a book.
How to make a book out of paper
First of all, you need to stock up on consumables. For such a model of the book, you will need bright pictures that can be cut out of existing old magazines and advertising brochures. If possible, it is recommended to print your favorite illustrations from the Internet on a color printer.
In cases where the child is able to accurately colorize black and white images, you can then turn them into pages of the book being created. In addition, they will make funny applications that can significantly expand the functions of the book. This is due to the fact that the child will be able to learn and hone the skills of coloring or creating applications.
Sheets of paper can be stapled or formed into an "accordion". It is recommended to laminate the cover of the product to prevent staining and to preserve it for a longer period of time.
As for the subject matter of the books, it is better if each of them has one specific direction. For example, you can put together images of birds or animals. Both adults and their young should be shown to the baby.
How to choose the format of the book and its subject
It is necessary to decide on the cognitive and educational goals that are planned to be achieved when working with the child. Teachers recommend supplementing pictures with questions, clarifying comments and practical developmental games.
You can also pick up interesting poems, stories, riddles that will help young children better understand and learn the world around them.
For very young children, DIY fabric books are suitable. Toddler toys should not have sharp corners. Usually the pictures in such books are made using the applique technique, and the pages themselves are supplemented with filler or a soft layer. As the latter, you can take small balls that will help develop hand motor skills.
Various laces and Velcro can be placed in the book so that the child gets an idea of such devices. Needlewomen also attach peculiar sorters to the book. They are pockets in which the child, at the request of the parents, must put, for example, all pictures with vegetables or squares of a certain color. For older children, it is recommended to offer logical chains of the "Take away unnecessary" type.
