Beautiful drawings on the theme of ecology. Ten global environmental problems in pictures. Due to global warming, the ecology is changing dramatically and irrevocably

Today, humanity faces many environmental problems, pictures on this topic are the most eloquent. Let's list the most global environmental problems, both in Russia and around the world:

  • ... Recently, the problem of deforestation is gaining more and more relevance, if the situation does not change radically, we risk being left without such natural resources as forests.
  • The planet is buried in debris... Today our life is unthinkable without the usual things: plastic, polyethylene or cans. The biggest challenge is what to do with this waste after disposal. From year to year, the amount of non-recycled waste and landfills is only growing.

  • ... The process of oil extraction, its transportation and processing is certainly accompanied by its loss, which is the main cause of poisoning, death of organisms and soil degradation.

  • Radioactive waste contamination... For a long time, nature will recover after the Chernobyl accident, which resulted in the release of radioactive substances.

  • Global climate change resulting from the "greenhouse effect". The main sources of greenhouse gases are emissions of carbon dioxide, freon, methane and others.

  • Converting fertile lands to deserts... This threat exists from deforestation and improper farming practices.

  • Pollution of the water fund... There is constant pollution of water bodies, rivers, lakes by industrial effluents, as well as as a result of the use of various chemicals.

  • ... The active development of industry is a problem not only for big cities, but also for regions. Nowadays, you can often see smog - a thick fog that covers the entire sky with a dense cover. Exhausts from vehicles and incineration of household waste also make a big contribution.

  • ... Due to the growth of urban infrastructure, the development of agriculture, many species of animals and plants continue to disappear from the face of the earth.

  • ... Uncontrolled and improper use of various fertilizers and pesticides leads primarily to depletion of the soil, and in the worst case to soil poisoning.

First of all, they are connected with their utilization and processing, in particular, the latter type of activity in the country is not sufficiently developed to absorb the entire produced volume by the population.


The fact that it is necessary to consume less and recycle waste, that it is necessary to preserve nature, they say in recent times more and more. Pope Francis even raised this topic in his recent speech. However, no matter how much people listen to these advice, the damage to our planet has already been done, and the damage is enormous.

1. Garbage from electronics from all over the world is taken to Ghana, where the local population disassembles it into valuable parts, and the rest is burned


2. Mexico City is one of the most populous cities in the Western Hemisphere


3. In the Eastern Hemisphere, New Delhi has the same problem, with a population of about 25 million.


4. Los Angeles is known for having more cars than people


5. Oil field in California


Two organizations, The Foundation for Deep Ecology and the Population Media Center, have released a series of photographs that illustrate the shocking consequences of human consumption of natural resources, as well as the pollution of nature. " This is what worries people in the first place, and at the same time, what is not talked about in the top news of the press., "explains Missy Thurston, co-manager of Population Media Center.

6. Once an old forest was completely cut down in Oregon


7. Coal power plant in the UK


8. Due to global warming, the ecology is changing dramatically and irrevocably


9. The world's largest diamond quarry


10. Burning out the Amazon jungle to create cattle grazing fields


In everyday life, it is difficult to predict the consequences of our usual choices - be it a plastic bottle of water in a supermarket or another TV or computer. However, if we consider that the population of the Earth is almost 7.5 billion people, and each of them, on average, throws out 2 kg of garbage every day (this data has changed by almost 60% since 1960), then it becomes obvious that the problem is really very, very important, and it must be solved together.

11. Tar sands and open mines occupy so much territory that they can be seen from space


12. Tire dump in Nevada


13. Vancouver Island, once covered with coniferous forests


14. Industrial agriculture in Spain, stretching for many kilometers


15. Tar sands in Canada


In September 2015, world leaders will gather to discuss the problems of human development that need to be solved by 2030. In December, a UN meeting is to take place in Paris, at which restrictions on environmental pollution will be set. Much depends on influential people who will solve global problems, but no less depends on an ordinary person, in whose hands there is every opportunity to help nature by his own example.

A true civil society consists of people with a sense of responsibility towards each other, with a conscious attitude to life and respectful of nature. If adults really need to conduct an ecological educational program, then children are associated with nature from the very beginning. They climb trees, run through the fields, play with animals, marvel at the waves of the sea and the water surface of the lake, catch snowflakes with their mouths and splash merrily in puddles. Children, like no one else, understand the true value of nature. In our age of spiritual plague, it is worth paying attention to children who need to study nature and ecology.

Protecting nature is important!

In the 21st century, a smoking factory and scattered garbage everywhere are no longer surprising. We are used to the sickening smell and to the fact that tap water should not be drunk under any circumstances. We eat fruits and vegetables grown in greenhouses and have no gustatory or nutritional value. At the moment, there is at least such an opportunity. So what is next?

Man drains Natural resources, cuts down forests, pollutes the atmosphere. Because of this, the ozone layer is being destroyed and the climate is changing. Man kills animals, many species are irretrievably lost. At the current rate of growth in the destruction of natural ecosystems by 2030, there will be none at all. A society of growing consumption leads to catastrophic changes in nature, which are reflected in humanity.

If no one is afraid of the widespread growth of poverty and hunger, very high infant mortality, lack of net drinking water in 2/3 of the world's settlements, the growth of allergy diseases, the HIV and AIDS epidemic, you can not give a damn about the environment and continue in the same spirit. But the planet must breathe, like people, and therefore it is time to listen to its needs.

Environmental education of children

What is ecology like through the eyes of children? It is necessary to develop environmental responsibility from a very young age. As soon as he gets to his feet, a person should realize that picking a flower, he hurts him, and throwing garbage in the street, he litters his house. Children from their parents and teachers in schools should hear that environmental management is not a whim, but a necessity. We can take from nature, but only as much as we need, helping and replenishing the natural balance.

The form of play and creativity is clearer and sweeter for children. Of course, boring lectures and lectures can disgust the topic. But all sorts of drawing contests, handicrafts, song competitions, quizzes, ecological campaigns are a completely different matter. They will interest both a five-year-old toddler and a teenager.

Environmental Drawing Competition

The children's drawing competition is one of the better ways spend time with fun and benefit. Boys and girls will be happy to paint global environmental problems, beautiful landscapes, and the harmony of man and nature. The competition can be held not only at home, but also at school and kindergarten. Children will be offered a choice of gouache, watercolors, crayons, pencils, ink, and even a ballpoint pen. The main thing is that students can express their thoughts and feelings by translating them on paper. What is ecology through the eyes of children? Their vision and relationship to nature is presented in a variety of colorful creative works.

Children's drawing competition will help to combine handicrafts of girls, boys and their parents. It's great when families come together on such important occasions. For example, mums and dads can prepare coloring pages on the theme "ecology through the eyes of children." So you can draw the attention of young citizens to important problems in nature, in the relationship between man and nature. Children, coloring pictures, will fantasize and think about important things.

Craft and applique competition

Kids and schoolchildren, like many adults, love to create something with their own hands. So why not arrange a craft contest "Ecology through the eyes of children"? In autumn, this is a great occasion to collect acorns and chestnuts, fallen colorful leaves, twigs and pebbles, and then build some kind of animal or a house out of all these finds. In the summer, you can paint sea pebbles and make a herbarium from the flowers found in the field, signing each one and indicating interesting information about it. For older children and teenagers, you can make your own small terrarium in a bottle.

The application competition "Ecology through the eyes of children" will also help to attract children to the problem of nature protection. Nice modern scrapbooking idea: you can make eco-friendly cards and posters. The applique made of multi-colored buttons and twigs in the form of autumn foliage will delight both children and adults.

Quiz "Ecology through the eyes of children"

Such a quiz for the little ones can be held in the form of an interactive theater. Children act out a show or recite nature-themed poetry. For such an event (as a script for performances), works of the following authors are suitable: Paustovsky, Barto, Zhitkov, Bianchi and Kipling. Poems children can choose from those suggested by the teacher or write themselves. Competition "Ecology through the eyes of children" for a senior school age can be played in the form of a game “What? Where? When?" or "Their own game", where children can improve their knowledge of ecology, relationships in the world of nature and harmony between man and the environment.

Hiking and eco-tourism

The project "Ecology through the eyes of children" does not have to be confined to science or creativity. This could be a sporting event or a hike to the nearest forest (park). What should be organized for middle and high school students? Orienteering can be done. An interesting idea would be a quest with tips and tasks in certain places. This will delight not only children, but also their parents. For the smallest, you can also find tasks: examine the cones, foliage, feed the squirrels, study the bark of trees.

There is another option. Children with their parents go out of town with an overnight stay in tents. The task for the children can be making a fire (under the careful supervision of adults) and shooting from a sports bow. Resting outside the city usually includes fishing. Horseback riding can also be arranged.

Along the way, teachers should talk about nature, terrain, the importance of preserving all this for themselves and their descendants.

Separate garbage collection

Russia has a catastrophic situation with separate waste collection. It is practically impossible to force our population to engage in this useless, in the opinion of many, business. Why not start with small citizens? Within the framework of the event "Ecology through the eyes of children" you can public lesson for schoolchildren and their parents. The teacher will tell you in detail about the problem of landfills in the world, clearly show how to sort garbage, point out garbage collection points on the map, play a game of separate garbage collection with the students and give a homework assignment. Thus, not only the children of the population are covered, but also adults. After all, one cannot deny a child the opportunity to develop and comprehend the world.

Growing plants

In biology and botany lessons, teachers talk about plants, their stages of growth and development. It is imperative to arrange practical classes for the children. To add a playful moment, educators can hand out seeds in white unmarked bags to students themselves, explaining the basic rules of care. Girls and boys will be required to record and photograph all stages of their pet's growth. And in the end, try to guess what their plant is called. The one who copes with it the first time, automatically gets an A in a quarter.

Such a game will help children understand how difficult it is to grow at least one plant, and will educate them to respect nature.

Briefly about the important

There are many ways to develop a child's desire to live in harmony with nature. In addition, this is inherent in children from birth. The main thing is to show the child the correct vector of movement. As in the case of drawings, applications, games, quizzes, and in the case of hiking and separate waste collection, ecological thinking develops. The student begins to realize what kind of work nature does every day to prove to people that she is right.

Environmental education should become the basis for the education of a new person in the 21st century. This is the only way we can build a healthy civil society. After all, if a child perceives nature as a home, then he will take care of it and, becoming an adult, will not allow wars and bloodshed.

Nature has inspired artists for centuries, and its beauty has been captured in landscapes, sculptures, photographs and more. But some artists take another step in developing the relationship between art and the environment, creating works from nature itself or creating works of art that emphatically express the idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe natural world and the footprint that humanity makes on it. Here is a list of 14 talented eco-artists who convey art's relationship with Mother Nature.

Photographer Chris Jordan photographs common objects like bottle caps, light bulbs and aluminum cans and turns them into art, programmatically rearranging them to create one central image. However, his works are so amazing and environmentally valuable because of the small pieces that create a single piece of art. For example, his work Plastic Caps (top), created in 2008, depicts 1 million plastic bottle caps. This is the number of caps used in the United States every six hours on flights.

Jordan recently described his work this way: “From a distance, images express something different, they can be completely boring works of modern art. Upon closer inspection, the visitor has an almost unpleasant feeling in relation to the work. It's almost magic to invite people to a conversation that they didn't want to have at first. "

On "Plastic Lids".

Henrique Oliveira

Brazilian artist Enerike Oliveira was looking for ways to incorporate textures into his artwork, and he managed to bring his vision to life when he was a student at the University of São Paulo. He noticed that the plywood fence outside the window began to deteriorate, showing layers of color. When the fence was dismantled, Oliveira collected the wood and used it to create his first work. The use of weather-worn wood to "awaken" brush strokes has become Oliveira's trademark, and he calls his large structures "three-dimensional" as his art combines architecture, painting and sculpture. Today, he uses waste wood and recycled materials to create masterpieces. (Oliveira also uses wood as the name of many of his large works, including the one pictured above.)

Nele Azevedo

The artist Nele Azevedo is widely known for her series of art installations "Melting People", which she exhibits around the world. Azevedo carves thousands of small figures and places them on city monuments, where spectators gather to watch them. Ice sculptures are designed to question the need for monuments in cities, but Azevedo is glad that her art also addresses pressing issues that threaten our existence on the planet. Although she says she is not a climate change activist, in 2009 Azevedo worked with WWF to place 1,000 ice figures on the steps of Berlin's Gendarmenmarkt to highlight the impact of climate change. The installation took place at the time of the release of the fund's report on the warming in the Arctic.

Agnes Denes

Agnes Dene is one of the first in environmental and conceptual art and is widely known for her project "Wheatfield - Confrontation". In May 1982, Dene grew a wheat field of more than 8,000 m2 (0.8 hectares) in the heart of Manhattan, just two blocks from Wall Street. The land was manually cleared of stones and debris, and about 200 trucks of soil were brought in. Dene cultivated the field for four months until 450 kg of wheat was harvested. The harvested grain was then shipped to 28 cities around the world for display at the International Art Exhibition to End World Hunger, and the seeds were planted around the world.

Planting wheat near the Statue of Liberty on US $ 4.5 billion of urban land has created a significant paradox that Denet hopes will draw attention to our false priorities. She says her work is designed to help the environment and future generations.

Bernard Pras

In his work, French artist Bernard Pras uses a technique known as anamorphosis - the art of gluing objects onto canvas to add texture and dimension to the work. In his works, Pras uses only found items and literally turns trash into treasure. Look up close at these pieces of art and you'll find everything from toilet paper to lemonade cans and bird feathers. Pras often reinterprets famous photographs and paintings. Above you can see the famous "Big Wave" by Katsushika Hokusai recreated with the help of anamorphosis.

John Fekner

John Fekner is known for his street art, he has created over 300 conceptual works, mostly on the streets of New York. Typically, Feckner's art is composed of words or symbols that indicate social or environmental issues that are painted on walls, buildings, and other structures. By making signs on old billboards or crumbling buildings, Fekner draws attention to problems and calls for action from ordinary citizens and city officials alike.

Andy Goldsworthy

Andy Goldsworthy is a British artist known for the outdoor sculptures he creates from natural materials like petals, leaves, snow, ice, rocks and twigs. His works are often fleeting and ephemeral, existing only until the moment when they melt, wash away or decompose, but he takes a photograph of each work immediately after creation. He froze ice in a spiral around trees, weaved leaves and grass in streams, covered stones with leaves, and then left his work to fall apart.

Stone River is a grandiose, winding sculpture made from 128 tons of sandstone, one of Goldsworthy's long-lived works that can be seen at Stanford University. Only sandstone was used that had collapsed from buildings during the San Francisco earthquakes in 1906 and 1989.

Roderick Romero

Roderick Romero builds tree huts and nature-inspired sculptures from recycled or collected materials... Although he is best known for building tree houses for the likes of Sting and Julianne Moore, Romero's minimalist style reflects his respect for nature and his focus on only subtle impact, even when building intricate treetop structures. “I can't imagine building on Trees knowing that the materials I use will contribute to the total deforestation somewhere on the planet,” says Romero.

Romero's Lantern House is nestled among the eucalyptus trees in Santa Monica, California, USA, and is 99 percent built from recycled trash.

Sandhi Schimmel Gold

Using a technique called acrylic mosaic fusion, Sandy Shimel Gold turns waste paper and scrap paper into art. Gold collects paper that most other people throw away - everything from postcards and brochures to greeting cards and tax return forms - and hand-cuts the paper to create mosaic portraits. All of her pieces are handmade and she uses only water-based, non-toxic paints. The Gold Mosaics raise environmental issues and, she says, their main goal is to create beauty, but at the same time, her images should be thought-provoking.

Sayaka Ganz

According to Sayaka Gantz, she was inspired by Japanese Shintoism - the belief that all objects have a spirit, and that those thrown out "cry at night in garbage cans." Keeping this vivid image in mind, she began to collect discarded items - kitchen utensils, dark glasses, electrical appliances, toys, etc. - and turn them into works of art. Creating her unique sculptures, Gantz sorts objects by color, makes a wire frame, and painstakingly attaches each item to the frame until she creates the shape she represented, usually an animal. The work shown above is called "Emergence."

Here is what Gantz says about his art: “My goal is to expand the purpose of objects, making them part of an animal or other organism that seems alive and moving. This way of remaking and rebirth frees me as an artist. "

Nils-Udo

In the 1960s, the artist Niels-Udo turned to nature and began to create local-specific work using natural materials such as leaves, berries, plants and twigs. His ephemeral works are nature-inspired utopias that take the form of multicolored handfuls of berries or giant jagged nests.

Niels-Udo is interested in the interweaving of nature, art and reality, as is evident in this untitled piece, which was on display at the Earthly Art Exhibition in Canada. Grassy paths to nowhere, disappearing into the trees, make viewers wonder about their relationship with the natural world. Niels-Udo says that by creating a work of art from nature, he managed to bridge the gap between art and life.

Chris Drury

Although Chris Drury often creates temporary works using only natural found materials, he is best known for his long-lasting landscape art and installations. Some of these jobs include so-called surveillance cameras. Above is one of them called "Camera for observation of trees and sky". There is a hole in the roof of these buildings that serves as a chamber. When viewers walk inside, they see images of the sky, clouds and trees projected onto the walls and floor.

Felicity Nove

To create her works, Felicity Nove pours paints and lets them mix. The Australian artist says that the way images flow and collide in her works is a lot like the relationship between man and nature, and her art aims to ask how we can live in harmony with our environment. Nové creates her masterpieces on environmentally friendly Gessoboard wood sheets using only recycled aluminum braces. She explains that her interest in the environment came from her father, an artist and engineer who designs clean energy systems.

Uri Eliaz

In the studio of Israeli artist Uri Eliaz, you can see a large number of bizarre sculptures that he created from objects found exclusively in the ocean. But he is not just a sculptor who turns garbage into art, he is also an artist who has given up the usual expensive canvases. Instead, Eliaz paints on bags, old doors, and even large canister lids.

Crafts on the theme "Take care of nature", drawings on the theme "Ecology of nature" will help children to instill a love for their native land, to learn how to use waste material.

The content of the article:

It is necessary to cultivate a respect for nature in children 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, love it, then the kids will grow up as worthy people. Be more in nature with children, tell them about plants and trees. Collect natural material: cones, rowan bunches, plant seeds, so that you can 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, give the kids creative freedom. Let them add bright colors to the canvas using crayons, pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. Tell them what shade 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 on the theme of “Take care of nature”. Prepare everything you need in advance.

Craft "Waterfall"

If you went out with the children on a picnic, after the feast, tell them that plant residues can be buried in the forest, they will rot. But with plastic bottles, such a number will not work. Therefore, you need to take them with you in order to throw them into the trash can or do a wonderful job for which you need:

  • plastic bottle;
  • cardboard;
  • scissors;
  • water;
  • Cup;
  • beads;
  • colored paper;
  • felt-tip pens;
  • gouache.
Use scissors to help your baby cut the plastic bottle in half across, almost in half. The top should be slightly smaller than the bottom. The child will paint this half with a neck to turn it into a fish, then draw an eye for it with a felt-tip pen.
A sheet of blue cardboard will turn into water. At the bottom you need to glue the beads, and cut out a kind of pebbles from multi-colored paper.


It remains to glue the "fish" on the blue cardboard, draw air bubbles in the water.

Crafts from natural material

To create it you will need:

  • Walnut;
  • cone;
  • dry grass;
  • tree branches;
  • saw cut from a dry tree trunk, which will become a stand;
  • glue.
On the saw cut of a tree - a wooden stand, the child will glue dry grass, and attach the twigs using plasticine. Lesovichek will live in this forest. His baby will make from a walnut, which will become a head and cones - this is a body. These parts must be connected with plasticine. Facial features are also made from it. But it is necessary to use plasticine of the corresponding colors, as well as for plants, mushrooms, which must be attached to a stand.

Write “Take care of the forest!” With a bright marker along the edge of the stand, 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 theme of the ecology of nature to a children's institution, the following can be advised.


In this poster, the author shows how specifically each person can help preserve a normal ecology and pies. For this you need:
  • clean up trash after yourself;
  • after resting by the fire, be sure to put it out;
  • not pouring water in vain;
  • save electricity;
  • 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 change to bicycles in order to get to work on this transport.


Parents can go cycling with their children, thus also playing sports in the fresh air.

The following figure on the topic of ecology of nature is symbolic. Under a bright rainbow, the child portrayed a representative of animals, birds, insects, plants and calls on everyone to preserve our nature.


The next work is for schoolchildren. To do it, you will need:
  • a sheet of paper or whatman paper;
  • simple pencil;
  • eraser;
  • paints.
First, on paper with a pencil, you need to outline the main elements of the canvas. If some didn't work out right away, you can erase them with an eraser and redo them.

The picture is divided into 2 thematic parts. Drawn on the left beautiful nature, grazing horse, soaring birds in blue sky, and on the right - industrial enterprises, which carry out harmful emissions into the atmosphere and, as a result, dead trees, bushes, grass.


The next poster on the theme “Protect Nature” shows children how to protect the forest from fire.


If the child is asked to draw a picture on this topic, you can give him the following idea. There is a forest, a river, a rainbow, and animals.


If this drawing on the theme "Ecology of Nature" is intended for secondary schoolchildren, the next one can be reproduced by children from primary school and senior groups kindergarten... Show them how to draw cone-shaped tree crowns and a lush crown. Children will also be able to draw lilies of the valley and strawberries.


Another work was done in a very interesting technique. To do the same, take:
  • a needle;
  • colored threads;
  • a sheet of white cardboard;
  • simple pencil.
First, barely pressing a pencil, you need to draw a rainbow, below - the rays of the rising sun. In the center of the picture there are outstretched palms and the inscription “Take care of nature!”.

We start at the bottom of the canvas. Help your child pass the yellow thread through the eye of the needle, tie a knot at the two ends of the thread. The sun's rays can be made long or multi-stitch. Children will embroider a rainbow with threads of different colors, they will finish the work in the same technique.


The following canvases are based on comparison and contrast.


A corner of the globe is drawn on the right. Explain to the children that it will stay that way if we all protect nature. On the left it is shown what it will become if you litter, not worry about putting out a fire behind you or burning it in the wrong place. The pollution of water bodies will also lead to such sad consequences. The child will understand all this if he draws such a canvas.

Another work develops this idea and shows that people are able to resist atmospheric pollution, it is necessary to reduce the amount of exhaust gases, and to clean up trash after themselves.


The following drawing is also intended to instill in children the correct thoughts about ecology.


To let the guys know that you can make a lot of interesting things out of junk material, offer them the following ideas.

Garbage Crafts

Children love kinder surprises, so they almost always have packages from the gifts inside. Teach the children by showing what can be made from such waste material.


The result is wonderful funny chicks. To make them, the kids will need:
  • plastic containers for kinder eggs;
  • glue;
  • beads or pins;
  • yellow and red cardboard;
  • scissors.
You need to glue yellow wings and red paper combs to one plastic package, and attach bead eyes in the same way.

Can be pierced with two pins upper part kinder egg packaging. Then the beads remaining outside will become chicken eyes.


To make the shell, have the parents cut the top of each half of the package in a zigzag pattern. It will be more difficult for children to do this. Together with them, make a nest from straw or dry grass, or from thin twigs, fastening the elements with thread or glue.


You can make such a picturesque bouquet out of garbage. To create it take:
  • packages from under kinder eggs of different colors;
  • scissors;
  • sisal or green plastic bottles;
  • cocktail tubes;
  • nail.
Crafting workshop:
  1. Also cut the egg halves in a zigzag pattern. WITH back side use a heated nail to poke through the hole.
  2. Insert a straw into each, push the edge further away first to cut it into 2 pieces. Then tie them in a knot, then this "stem" will be firmly fixed in the flower.
  3. Arrange them all the same way. Connect the flowers, cover with sisal, tie with a ribbon.
  4. If there is no sisal, then the top and bottom of the green plastic bottle need to be cut off and the remaining part spirally cut into a thin strip.
For the following crafts on the topic, take care of nature, you will need:
  • kinder egg packaging;
  • toothpicks;
  • scissors;
  • plasticine;
  • paints;
  • thin colored rope;
  • flat lid from a cardboard box;
  • green colored paper;
  • glue.
Step-by-step manufacturing:
  1. Have the child glue the box lid inside colored paper, this is a carpet of green grass. Toothpicks must be pre-painted, when dry, stick along the edge of the box, like a palisade. These pickets are tied with rope in several rows to make a fence.
  2. Pierce the lower parts of the plastic blanks with an awl, let the child insert toothpicks here. He will coat them with black plasticine, from it he will make small circles, attach them to the body of a cow. Then you need to sculpt the horns, and from the yellow plasticine - the muzzle.
  3. In the same way, let the child create other animals: a pig, a cat, a dog, a sheep. Then you get a whole village farm, but you already know how to make chickens from kinders.


The following crafts, take care of nature, are no less interesting to perform. After all, after the feast, the holiday remains plastic cups, disposable plates. Make such a clown from them together with the children.


For him you will need:
  • durable wire;
  • disposable plates and glasses;
  • plastic tray;
  • rubber gloves;
  • synthetic winterizer;
  • buttons;
  • multi-colored threads;
  • cardboard;
  • plastic bottle;
  • glue.
Manufacturing sequence:
  1. Make a skeleton of the man out of the wire. String cups on each wire, which have become arms and legs, piercing their bottom.
  2. Glue 2 plates together, placing the hair of plastic between them. Glue the threads on the face in the shape of the mouth, cheeks, eyelashes. And the pupils can be made from a plastic bottle.
  3. Two trays will be the back and front of the clown. Decorate his clothes with buttons, sequins, cardboard, which will turn into a jacket collar.
  4. Stuff the gloves with padding polyester, attach them in place. This is how the theme of the ecology of nature began to play. After all, this garbage will not harm her if you make such crafts for a summer residence or for a competition.
And an empty container from the "Dressing Duck" or other household chemicals will easily become a toy bus. And another bottle by helicopter.


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, 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 the 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 by making wheels or using wire axles. Make two punctures with an awl on the same and the same number on the other side of the bottom of the bottle. Insert one and the second wire into them, on the ends of which you need to glue on 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.
The first bottle of drinking yogurt will be the main one. You can just draw a booth on its bottom or cut off the bottom and glue here half of the plastic packaging from the kinder egg.

Make the runners from two straws, attach them to the strips of plastic cut from the second bottle.

Use a hot thin nail with a wide head to make a hole in the lid and the place where it is attached, as well as at the ends of the straws. Match these parts to create the top propeller. In the tail section, 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 in the forest are damaging the environment. After all, such a container will rot only after 200 years! It is better to make a craft out of it for the competition.
