Answer
Crafts on the theme “Ecology”- one of the methods of environmental education for preschoolers and primary schoolchildren. From early childhood, children need to be explained how important it is to take care of the environment: that you cannot throw garbage on the street, but only in trash cans; that many waste materials can be reused in the household and in creativity.
It is not surprising that in 2017, environmental education classes were held in many preschool institutions, in which crafts were made from waste material, because 2017 was declared the year of ecology in Russia. Don’t forget that you can use a wide variety of materials for creativity; children will be happy to create both paper and plastic.
Crafts on the theme “Ecology”
On the eve of May 12, when Russia will celebrate the Day of Environmental Education, environmental events are being held throughout the country, the main goal of which is to educate everyone - young and old - about the enormous importance of events aimed at preserving the ecosystem of our planet. With the development of technology and chemical production, the planet is faced with a huge danger - some corners of the planet that previously could boast of their green forests are now literally buried in mountains of garbage. You can look at the small streets of your city - there are plastic bags and plastic bottles lying everywhere, materials that take a very long time to break down in natural conditions.
Unfortunately, in our country there are very few factories and enterprises that would process secondary raw materials, so it is important to raise a young generation that will understand how important such production is. After all, a plastic bottle does not have to be immediately thrown into the trash bin; it can be used in the household: make an organizer for pens and pencils, a container for storing bulk products, etc. Many options for use can be found in a summer cottage: making a fence for a flower bed, greenhouse, and even a small outbuilding. By the way, the use of plastic bottles as building materials is popular not only in poor third world countries, but also in high-tech Japan.
Children can contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem - at home with their parents or in kindergarten DIY crafts on the theme “Ecology”, using plastic containers, various packaging and other waste materials. Children in such classes will be able to learn how to breathe new life into those materials that we usually throw into the trash without regret. To make it in elementary school, it is not at all necessary to buy a new package of colored paper, because wood is used for paper production, which means that trees die somewhere for every sheet of paper; you can take a variety of other materials that have already served their purpose and are ready for recycling use.
DIY crafts on the theme “Ecology”
Creating children's crafts on the theme "Ecology", the children not only contribute to the preservation of the ecosystem, which they certainly need to be clearly told about, but they can also have fun. You can work on the craft independently or in a team with other students in the group. Most likely, in the creative process, children will need the help of adults, especially if they have to work with thick cardboard or plastic.
You should start with the easiest thing, for example, a simple application is suitable for middle school students. As the main decorative material, we can offer preschoolers candy wrappers - shiny and bright, they will become a real decoration of our applique.
In the process, children will get acquainted with the fascinating world of creativity and learn how to make colorful appliqués using not only paper, but also a variety of waste materials. Of course, such an activity contributes to the development of children's imagination and creative imagination. In addition, before starting work, the kids will have a great excuse to eat some delicious chocolates and use their wrappers as decorative material. You can organize a small container at home where children can put candy wrappers throughout the year, and then they can be used in creativity.
- Paper
- Wrappers
- Glue stick
- Pencil
- Stationery scissors
We will need some candy wrappers with a black back side, others with a bright pink side. On a piece of paper you should outline the outlines of the future tree with a pencil; this can be done by a parent or teacher. Parents can also mark the outline of all the pieces on the candy wrappers to make it easier for their child to cut them out. Pupils of the senior group or junior students can independently draw the outline and cut out all the necessary details.
Crafts on the theme “Ecology” for kindergarten in the form of an applique depicting a flowering tree, it starts from the trunk; for this you need to use the reverse, dark side of our candy wrapper. First you need to cut out the trunk and glue it onto paper, then you need to cut out small “gnarled” branches to give the tree a finished look.
For the flowers, we will need a candy wrapper with a pink pattern, from which we need to cut out flowers; these can be flowers like those in the presented master class, or of a different shape. The cut out flowers must be glued to the branches, after which the work can be considered completed.
Additionally, the applique can be decorated with butterflies, the leaves of which will also be cut from candy wrappers, as well as dragonflies.
If you want to do this with your child, then you should choose orange, yellow and red candy wrappers, and the leaves for the autumn tree should be cut into small, oblong shapes. And don't forget about crafts made from natural materials on the theme “Ecology”, because the best material for creativity is fallen autumn leaves, which excite the imagination with their unusual shapes and rich colors.
Crafts on the theme “Ecology” for kindergarten
When it comes to crafts made from waste materials on the theme “Ecology”, you always want the master class to cover only those materials that are always at hand and that we usually throw away. In addition, it is imperative to choose materials that will be easy for the child to work with, even with the help of parents.
For example, every family regularly consumes juices and milk. What do we usually do with tetrapacks? That's right, we throw them in the trash, but this is an excellent material for creative ventures. Firstly, tatrapack is, first of all, a product made of thick cardboard with an additional coating, and cardboard can be cut, bent, and painted, which means that all these manipulations can be done with tetrapack.
The very idea of creating a house from tetra-pack is more suitable not for classes in kindergarten, but for a home hobby. The child will be happy to work with his mother to create such a house, which can then be used in home games or in a children's puppet theater.
Tetrapack houses are crafts on the theme “Ecology”, photo which will truly delight you. They turn out so bright and colorful, truly fabulous. Not only will you not want to throw them away, but after that the child will collect other tetrapacks - small and large - to build an entire fairy-tale city. It is convenient to place such “buildings” in a child’s room on a windowsill or along a wall; they do not take up much space, and are very convenient and safe for playing. Children will not be able to get hurt on the cardboard, and they will not be able to break the houses themselves. The perfect homemade toy!
If you can make a multi-story doll house from a large cardboard box, where there will be several rooms with homemade furniture for Barbie, then such small houses are more suitable for playing with Lego men or other miniature toys.
- Tetrapack
- Paints
- Paper
- Scissors
The set of necessary materials may be minimal, but if you wish, you can use various additional decorative elements. For example, the surface of a tetra pack can be painted with several layers of paint or covered with colored paper or wallpaper. Windows and doors can be drawn or pasted with an applique of rectangles of colored paper. Using rope and toothpicks you can make a rope ladder. In a word, your imagination is not limited by anything, and you can use a variety of materials. Using the same principle, you can make not only multi-story residential buildings, but also a hospital, shops, a school, and “signs” can be printed on a printer.
And if mothers want to make a convenient organizer for jewelry out of tetra packs, then you can rest assured that the children will immediately come to the rescue and will take every possible part in the process. And girls will want the same box for their jewelry.
Crafts for the garden on the theme “Ecology”
Often used for decoration and functional design of garden plots. Plastic bottles are a material that craftswomen have found many uses for. Firstly, they are often used in the household as a convenient container for water and bulk products. Secondly, many gardeners not only use plastic bottles to make fences for beds and flower beds, but also use them as containers for growing seedlings, and even make unusual flower pots for fresh flowers that decorate their garden plots.
Many mothers choose plastic bottles for children’s creativity, and in the process of working, preschoolers can be told how dangerous plastic is for our ecosystem. Unusual garden craft on the theme “Ecology” will allow you not only to join in an exciting creative activity, but also to learn a lot of new things about the environment.
We will create a bright caterpillar on wheels, and for this craft we will take the most ordinary plastic bottles. You can play with such a caterpillar at home and outdoors, and if any part breaks, then there is no reason to be upset, because you didn’t spend a penny on this toy.
- Plastic liter bottles - 10 pcs.
- Plastic bottles, volume 2.5 l. - 2 pcs.
- Multi-colored acrylic paints
- Bottle caps - 12 pcs.
- Double sided bolts
- Nuts to match bolts
- Glue "Moment"
- Wire
- Jute rope
This craft involves joint action by adults and children, and all family members can be involved - there is a task for everyone. Adults will cut the plastic and make holes, and children will do all the work of coloring and decorating the finished caterpillar.
Crafts on the theme “Ecology”: photos
You will definitely be attracted and craft on the theme “Ecology” for a schoolchild, which may become part of a thematic exhibition. Environmental events and campaigns will definitely be held in schools in order to educate schoolchildren about the need to preserve the environment. Of course, the “Caterpillar” craft will be more to the liking of preschoolers.
First, you need to cut off the bottoms from the bottles with scissors; as a result, you should get ten bottoms from a liter container and two bottoms from large bottles. A hole should be made in the middle of each plastic blank using a drill or awl, which must be heated over a flame. You can thread a rope through this hole to connect all the track pieces.
Now it’s time for the child to work on the “Caterpillar” toy: the bottoms need to be painted in pairs in bright colors, in total we will need six colors of acrylic paint.
The plugs will be used as wheels, so you should make a hole in the center of each and screw the prepared bolts into this hole. We will have 10 wheels in total. All that remains is to assemble all the painted parts of the bottle and attach the wheels, and decorate the head with eyes and a mouth, and attach wire horns.
You can use other ideas on how to create crafts on the theme “Year of Ecology”, which will help highlight the environmental problems of the planet. For example, you can create a thematic wall newspaper for a school.
Crafts on the theme “Take care of nature”, drawings on the theme “Ecology of nature” will help children instill a love for their native land and learn how to use waste materials.
The content of the article:
Children need to be taught a caring attitude towards nature from childhood. After all, if parents allow themselves to litter in the forest, then their children will behave the same way. If adults show children how to protect nature and love it, then the children will grow up to be worthy people. Spend more time in nature with your children, tell them about plants and trees. Collect natural materials: cones, rowan bunches, plant seeds, so that you can then do joint work at home.
Crafts “Take care of nature”
Children love to color. Therefore, print a poster on this topic in black and white and give the children freedom of creativity. Let them use crayons, pencils, felt-tip pens or paints to add bright colors to the canvas. Tell them what color the elements of the poster should be, but if the children want to show their vision of the plot, do not interfere with them, let them show their individuality. Then teach them how to make crafts with the theme "Take care of nature." Prepare everything you need in advance.
Craft “Waterfall”
If you go on a picnic with your children, after the feast tell them that plant remains can be buried in the forest, they will rot. But this trick won’t work with plastic bottles. Therefore, you need to take them with you to throw them in the trash container or to do a wonderful job for which you need:
- plastic bottle;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- water;
- cup;
- beads;
- colored paper;
- markers;
- gouache.
The blue cardboard sheet will turn into water. You need to glue beads at the bottom, and cut out something like pebbles from multi-colored paper.
All that remains is to glue the “fish” onto the blue cardboard and draw air bubbles in the water.
Crafts made from natural materials
To create it you will need:
- Walnut;
- cone;
- dry grass;
- tree branches;
- sawed from a dry tree trunk, which will become a stand;
- glue.
Use a bright marker along the edge of the stand to write “Take care of the forest!”, and if the child is already familiar with literacy, let him do it himself.
Drawings on the theme “Ecology of Nature”
Such creativity will also instill in children a love for their native land. If they were asked to bring drawings on the topic of environmental ecology to a children's institution, we can recommend the following.
In this poster, the author shows how specifically each person can help preserve normal ecology and nature. To do this you need:
- pick up trash after yourself;
- After relaxing by the fire, be sure to put it out;
- don’t waste water;
- save energy;
- take care of your home.
Reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere will also help preserve the environment. It is not for nothing that in the summer motorists are encouraged to switch to bicycles in order to get to work using this transport.
Parents can go on bike rides with their children, thus also engaging in outdoor sports.
The following drawing on the theme of natural ecology is symbolic. Under a bright rainbow, the child depicted a representative of animals, birds, insects, plants and calls on everyone to preserve our nature.
The following work is intended for schoolchildren. To make it, you will need:
- a sheet of paper or whatman paper;
- a simple pencil;
- eraser;
- paints.
The picture is divided into 2 thematic parts. On the left is beautiful nature, a grazing horse, birds soaring in the blue sky, and on the right are industrial enterprises that produce harmful emissions into the atmosphere and, as a result, dead trees, bushes, and grass.
The following poster on the topic “Take care of nature” shows children that they need to protect the forest from fire.
If your child is asked to draw a picture on such a topic, you can give him the following idea. There is a forest, a river, a rainbow, and animals.
If this drawing on the topic “Ecology of Nature” is intended for middle school students, the next one can be reproduced by children from elementary school and older groups of kindergarten. Show them how to draw tree canopies with conical fora and lush canopy. Children will also be able to draw lilies of the valley and strawberries.
Another work was done using a very interesting technique. To make the same, take:
- a needle;
- colored threads;
- a sheet of white cardboard;
- simple pencil.
We start from the bottom of the canvas. Help your child thread the yellow thread through the eye of the needle and tie a knot at both ends of the thread. The rays of the sun can be made long or consisting of several stitches. Children will embroider a rainbow using threads of different colors and finish the work using the same technique.
The following paintings are based on comparison and contrast.
On the right is a corner of the globe. Explain to the children that it will remain like this if we all protect nature. On the left you can see what it will be like if you litter, don’t take care to put out the fire behind you, or burn it in the wrong place. Pollution of water bodies will also lead to such sad consequences. A child will understand all this if he draws such a canvas.
Another work develops this idea and shows that people are able to resist air pollution; they need to reduce the amount of exhaust gases and pick up trash after themselves.
The following drawing is also intended to instill in children the right thoughts regarding the environment.
To let the kids know that you can make a lot of interesting things out of waste material, offer them the following ideas.
Crafts from garbage
Children love Kinder surprises, so they almost always have packaging for the gifts inside. Teach children by showing them what can be made from such waste material.
The result will be wonderful funny chickens. To make them, the kids will need:
- plastic containers for kinder eggs;
- glue;
- beads or pins;
- yellow and red cardboard;
- scissors.
You can pierce the top of the Kinder egg package with two pins. Then the remaining beads on the outside will become the chicken's eyes.
To make the shells, have parents cut the top of each package half in a zigzag pattern. This will be more difficult for children. Together with them, make a nest from straw or dry grass, or from thin twigs, fastening the elements with threads or glue.
You can make such a picturesque bouquet out of garbage. To create it, take:
- Kinder egg packaging of different colors;
- scissors;
- sisal or green plastic bottles;
- cocktail straws;
- nail.
- Also cut the egg halves in a zigzag pattern. On the reverse side, use a heated nail to make a hole.
- Insert a straw into each, first push the edge further to cut it into 2 parts. Then tie them in a knot, then this “stem” will be firmly fixed in the flower.
- Arrange them all in the same way. Connect the flowers, cover with sisal, tie with ribbon.
- If there is no sisal, then you need to cut off the top and bottom of the green plastic bottle and cut the remaining part into a thin strip in a spiral.
- Kinder egg packaging;
- toothpicks;
- scissors;
- plasticine;
- paints;
- thin colored rope;
- flat lid from a cardboard box;
- green colored paper;
- glue.
- Let the child glue colored paper inside the lid of the box, this is a carpet of green grass. Toothpicks need to be pre-painted, when dry, stick along the edge of the box, like a picket fence. These pickets are tied with rope in several rows to form a fence.
- Pierce the bottom parts of the plastic blanks with an awl and have the child insert toothpick legs here. He will coat them with black plasticine, make small circles from it, and attach them to the cow’s body. Then you need to sculpt the horns, and the muzzle from yellow plasticine.
- In the same way, let the child create other animals: a pig, a cat, a dog, a sheep. Then you’ll get a whole village farm, and you already know how to make kinder chickens.
The following crafts, take care of nature, are no less interesting in execution. After all, after a feast or celebration, plastic cups and disposable plates remain. Make a clown out of them together with your children.
For it you will need:
- strong wire;
- disposable plates and glasses;
- plastic tray;
- latex gloves;
- padding polyester;
- buttons;
- multi-colored threads;
- cardboard;
- plastic bottle;
- glue.
- Make a frame of a man out of wire. Thread cups onto each wire that became arms and legs, piercing their bottom.
- Glue 2 plates together, first placing plastic hair between them. Glue threads in the shape of a mouth, cheeks, eyelashes onto your face. And the pupils can be made from a plastic bottle.
- Two trays will become the back and front of the clown. Decorate his clothes with buttons, sparkles, cardboard, which will turn into a jacket collar.
- Stuff the gloves with padding polyester and attach them in place. This is how the theme of natural ecology came into play. After all, this garbage will not harm her if you make crafts like this for the dacha or for a competition.
To make the first toy, you need to take an empty plastic bottle of a similar shape, for example, from a “toilet duck”, rinse it well, and remove the label. Draw the windows and doors of this minibus with a felt-tip pen, cut them out with a knife and scissors.
To prevent your child from getting hurt on the sharp edges of the plastic, sand them first with coarse, then fine sandpaper.
The covers can be glued with super glue, making wheels or using wire axles. Use an awl to make two punctures on one side and the same number on the other side of the bottom of the bottle. Insert one and a second wire into them, onto the ends of which you need to glue the lid, which will become the axes.
And to make a helicopter, you will need:
- 2 bottles of drinking yogurt;
- glue;
- 2 plastic bottle caps;
- cocktail straws;
- 2 nails;
- scissors.
Make runners from two straws, attach them to strips of plastic cut from the second bottle.
Using a hot thin nail with a wide head, make a hole in the lid and its attachment point, as well as at the ends of the straws. Match these parts to create the top propeller. In the tail part, make it out of straws.
If you need to quickly make a craft about the ecology of nature, use plastic bottles. Tell your child that those who throw them away in the forest harm nature. After all, such containers will rot only after 200 years! It’s better to make a craft out of it for a competition. It will take very little time and materials to make the next one, here they are:
- milk bottle;
- plasticine;
- 2 buttons;

Have your child smear black play dough onto a bottle cap to create a nose for this rat. He will cut out ears from white cardboard, and a mustache for her from black cardboard. Using plasticine, attach the eyes to the muzzle.
To make fun snowmen, show children how to draw on Actimel bottles with a marker to create the characters' facial features. You can teach your child to knit. Cast on 2 knitting needles and show him how to knit a rectangular fabric using garter stitch. Then you need to sew it on the wrong side. Afterwards, thread the needle and pass the thread into the upper part of the cap, tighten it.
How to make a fan from forks was described in the corresponding article. Next to him, such an animal made from a plastic bottle will look wonderful.

To make such a panel, take:
- scraps of fabric;
- pieces of suede;
- buttons;
- lacing;
- old zipper;
- unnecessary things;
- cardboard.
- A sheet of cardboard will become the basis of the canvas. If you want it to be voluminous, you can put a sheet of padding polyester between it and the fabric. If not, then immediately glue the rectangle of fabric onto the cardboard, or the child will do it.
- Let him cut out the trunk and branches of a tree from brown suede, and its crown from green fabric. If it is an apple tree, let him cut out fruits from scraps of the appropriate color. Sew loops to them, let him put them on the buttons sewn to the crown.
- To help your child develop hand motor skills, sew a zipper onto the trunk and let him unfasten and fasten it. Sew lacing here, which will also help develop your baby's fine motor skills.
Like apples, cut out butterflies from thick fabric; they can also be attached to wood using loops and buttons.
A doll made from threads will be openwork and airy. To create it, you will need:
- 2 balloons;
- textile;
- PVA glue;
- needle;
- brush;
- flaps;
- buttons;
- a little wool or roving.

If mom has some cord left over from needlework, let her show her daughter or son how to sew on this thin braid by folding it to make a flower. You can first edge the fabric petals with this cord, and then stitch them onto the canvas.
Crafts to take care of nature can also be made from metal waste. See how unnecessary computer parts and an SD disk are turned into watches.
You can make an entire city out of garbage using scraps of wallpaper, cardboard boxes, and plastic bottles.
Even shavings from colored pencils can be put to good use by turning them into a chic princess dress. The girl will cut it out of colored paper.
The following work shows how various waste materials can be used:
- candy wrappers;
- juice straws;
- plastic bottles for milk, sauces;
- buttons;
- corrugated paper;
- braid.
The stamens of the flower will be cut straws; they need to be glued around the button. The next flower can be created from candy wrapper. It is folded like an accordion, bent, and a button is glued or sewn into the center. The next flower is made from one piece of plastic.
All these plants are attached to the base and the panel is decorated with braid.
When creating such crafts with your children, tell them about the ecology of nature so that they know how such beautiful things can be made from garbage. The videos will help you get acquainted with other exciting ideas.
