While working in kindergarten, she noticed that children show great interest in classes with non-traditional materials. But work with non-traditional materials contains great opportunities for the harmonious development of the child. These classes contribute to the development of his creativity, awaken the will, develop manual skills and labor skills, a sense of form, eye and color perception. Work on the composition contributes to the development of artistic taste.

Tasks that are solved in the process of working with non-traditional materials:

1. To expand knowledge about objects and phenomena of life, to master special labor skills and methods of self-control when working with various materials.
2. Develop skills that ensure a working culture at all stages of the labor process (economical use of material, proper handling of tools, maintaining order on the desktop).
3. To teach to use speech - evidence to substantiate their judgments, to evaluate the results of labor, its significance, value.
4. Plan work, consistently talk about the main stages of the implementation of the plan, be able to agree on the distribution of responsibilities.
5. To develop combinatorial skills that provide manifestations of independence and creativity.

I use non-traditional materials in classes on application and modeling-design, as well as in free games of children.

The most affordable is natural material (acorns, cones, seeds, leaves). We collect this material with children on walks. Creating crafts and compositions from the gifts of nature, children get acquainted with the diversity of nature, learn to see new combinations in familiar forms, master various ways of fastening parts, and learn to be careful about nature. Numerous types of seeds and grains that are actively used to create work can also be attributed to natural ones.

Also in my work I use various corks and caps from juice, sticks from chupa-chupsov, chin, buttons. With these materials I made several variations of games that can be used in free children's activities.

Didactic games with traffic jams.

What is developing:

• color perception;
• math skills;
• imagination;
• fine motor skills;
• spatial thinking.

How to play:

• learn to close and open bottles;
• sort by color (in boxes or jars);
• make mathematical examples;
• lay out color tracks and walk on them;
• lay carpets out of covers and walk on them with bare feet;
• to build various paintings, patterns;
• string on a thread.

“Find the extra cork”

Purpose: to develop the logical thinking of children.

Course of the game: the teacher puts 5 traffic jams of the same color in a row and among them puts 1 traffic jam of a different color. Then he suggests that the child remove the excess cork or replace it with the desired cork in color.

« Logical Chains

Purpose: to develop the logical thinking of children

Means: corks from plastic bottles.

Course of the game: the teacher begins to build a chain of traffic jams of two colors and offers the child to continue the series.

“Draw a picture using traffic jams”

Purpose: to develop the imagination and creativity of children.

Means: corks from plastic bottles, pictures.

Course of the game: the teacher offers the children to supplement the picture with the help of traffic jams. He asks how many traffic jams have taken and what color they are.

"Dry pool"

Purpose: development of fine motor skills of the hands; removal of emotional and psychological stress. Means: corks from plastic bottles, plastic basin.

Hozanatii: The child lowers both hands into a basin with traffic jams and begins to sort them out.

You can hide the toy in the basin and invite the child to find it.

Didactic games with colorful clothespins.

What is developing.

• fine motor skills of hands,
• imagination and communicative function of speech,
• sensory skills and spatial representations are fixed.

Finish the figure.

Purpose: development of fine motor skills of the hands; removal of emotional and psychological stress, the ability to find and match colors with objects, the development of logical thinking.

Equipment: items cut out of cardboard (tree, cloud, hedgehog ...) and clothespins of different colors.

Course progress: The child attaches colored clothespins to the corresponding color object. For example: if it is a Christmas tree, then the child takes a green clothespin and attaches it.

Finger massage.

Also, with a clothespin, we alternately “bite” the nail phalanges (from the index to the little finger and back) onto the stressed syllables of the verse:
  “A foolish kitten bites hard,
  He thinks this is not a finger, but a mouse. (Change of hands.)
  But I play with you baby
  And you’ll bite, I’ll tell you: “Kysh!”

Feed the fish.

Imagine together with the baby that clothespins are small fish, and a circle or a square made of cardboard is a feeding trough. Well, the baby needs to help the fish have lunch, that is, attach them around the perimeter of the figure. It’s very interesting for children to “attach needles” to a hedgehog cut out of cardboard, etc.

Hang underwear.

And, of course, hanging handkerchiefs after washing and fastening them with clothespins. This is a simple task, even for a child who has repeatedly played with clothespins, it may turn out to be not so simple.
  You can accompany the work by pronouncing a rhyme:
  "I cling the clothespins cleverly
  I'm on my mother’s rope. ”

Didactic games with buttons.

What is developing:

• fine motor skills and tactile perception;
• hand-eye coordination;
• accuracy of movements and attention;
• mathematical thinking (the child learns to classify, distinguish objects by size, count);
• emotional and creative development

Sort the buttons.
Pour the buttons in front of the child, sort them out with him and do not forget to tell him about the color, texture, size of the buttons. Count the number of fools with your baby. Based on this, we sort the buttons by color, size, number of holes, look for the same ones. You can make a piggy bank for buttons from the box by making a flat hole in it, let the baby fold the buttons in it.

Massage path.
We take a piece of dense fabric about 30 cm * 100 cm in size, we sew buttons of various caliber to it. So the massage mat is ready. You can make some parts of the rug bulk by filling them with peas or beans.

"Button patterns"

To begin with, I suggested that the children have a little imagination and lay out various patterns on plastic plates, without using any patterns. Buttons are interesting in that they have a different shape, size, texture.

"Remember and repeat"

This game will help develop attention, memory.

It requires two cards (divided into 9 squares) and two sets of buttons (18 pieces are identical in pairs

One player leading, he lays out several buttons on his field. The second player remembers. Then the field is covered with a scarf, and the second player in his field must put the buttons in the same way as the leader. First, you can train on a small amount, adding gradually.

"Pick a tree leaves"

From buttons of a certain color, it is necessary to choose leaves for the tree (depending on the season)

"Pick up the wheels of cars"

Offer to pick up wheels by color, size

"Tracks"

Children were offered to conduct animals to the house through the mazes. It turns out, pinching the button with your finger, this is much more interesting and difficult to do.

"Collect the beads"

We all know how important it is to develop and train fine motor skills in our babies. Motility affects the development of speech, so we try to come up with as many games as possible that will help us in this matter. I already talked about, showed our games with clothespins and templates for games with that train, including motor skills. I laid out photos and descriptions of various for the baby, which you can do with your own hands. She also showed a very interesting home-made game.

Today I want to show you the games with covers that Evgenia's mom prepared for us. We are already familiar with the wonderful that Zhenya did and about which she spoke. Word to Wife:

“I used a wide variety of lids: from soft drinks, juices, yoghurts, soaps, mayonnaise - here everyone has his own possibilities and imagination. This manual looks in the form of tablets. I took boxed cardboard and pasted it in two layers at an angle of 90 degrees, for strength. Then pasted on all sides with wrapping paper. She glued drawings on cardboard, painted with acrylic paints. And with the lids I acted like this: I cut off the necks of the bottles, and at the boxes from the juices I took the bases together with the lids. She stuck it all with a hot gun on the drawings. And the toy is ready. Dima really likes! Only the covers are lost - keep a replacement ready. ”

When Dima was one year old, he really liked to unscrew various caps on bottles, boxes, tubes, etc. so I decided to make him such a toy. Interestingly, he could only unscrew the little one, and after about six months he learned how to twist it. After all, when you unscrew, you twist in one direction, and you twist in the other. The kid knew this science himself. This is such a useful and interesting toy.

And to make it is not at all difficult, and the most waste materials are needed for it - cardboard and covers from already used vessels.

  First you need to assemble different covers with their basics. I cut the neck of bottles of lemonade, yogurt, juice, liquid soap. And at the boxes of juices tore off the basics along with the lids. And yet, lids for the same basis can be typed in different colors and more, or they’ll quickly get lost.

  The basics in the form of tablets, I did so. I took a regular boxboard, pasted it with paper for strength. She pasted a drawing and let it dry thoroughly under a load of thick books. When everything dried up, I painted the drawings with acrylic paints - they do not get dirty when used. Drawn a black marker on the office. On the cars the train pasted pictures of animals. I glued the basics of the covers to the drawings with a hot gun. But another strong glue is also possible.
  Sizes of cardboard.

The manual is designed for children of preschool age with the aim of developing fine motor skills and sensory development. The manual is mobile and multifunctional. The basis of the allowance is one, but there are several removable cards. Cards can be stored in a separate box, or can be stored on the basis of the allowance, like the rings of a pyramid.

Manufacturing process:

1. Take a box of square shape, 2 plastic bottles and a stationery knife.

2. Cut holes in the box with a size equal to the diameter of the necks of the bottles. Cut the bottles, focusing on the height of the box.

3. Insert the cut-off bottles into the holes and secure so that they do not rotate with glue Moment.

4. Tape the box with self-adhesive paper.

5. Take universal household napkins of different colors and scissors.

6. Make holes in napkins, similar to holes in the box and application of subject pictures.

7. Pick up the corks, put them in a box and you can start the game.

Games can be varied depending on the tasks.
