Last minute postcards
Option number 1 - a postcard with pasta. They need to be painted, glued, signed - and that's it, you're done.
Options No. 2 and 3 - a postcard for February 23rd with a star (mom's help is needed to sew them, but this is also a matter of minutes) and a postcard consisting of a base and several strips of colored tape is very stylish.
Choose a postcard of your choice and please your defenders!
We will start preparing for the men's holiday with the simplest postcards for February 23rd. Children will be able to do some of them even without the help of mom, and dad will certainly be happy)
And the first of them will be made in the form of a military uniform.
The simplest materials are needed:
- paper (green, yellow, red, black and white)
- scissors
- PVA glue
- ruler
- pencil
Cut a sheet of A4 paper into 4 equal parts. Take one of these and make 2 small cuts on the top. Bend them down to form a shirt collar. Cut a small tie out of black paper and glue it under the shirt collar.
Cut a rectangle out of green paper (the height is equal to the height of the shirt from the base to the shoulders, and the width is 2 times the width of the shirt). Flex the paper to form the cuffs of the uniform, and peel back the top corners slightly. Then cut out shoulder straps and 3 round buttons from yellow paper. It remains to "put on" a ready-made uniform on the shirt and solemnly hand over a postcard to dad on February 23!
A similar, but more "adult" version of such a postcard is offered by Alexander Parkhomenko:
Postcard-cuffs
And another simple option for a postcard for dad. Why not make it in the original shirt cuff shape? You just need to cut a rectangle out of paper and round off the 2 upper corners. Then, very carefully with a clerical knife, you need to make 2 small cuts for buttons. It remains to fold the cuffs in half and glue along the very edge, and then glue on 2 buttons!
You can decorate the cuffs as you wish, add a congratulatory lettering, glue stars, etc., but you must do this BEFORE you glue it on the side!
Figured card with a star
The next postcard is also easy to make, but quite interesting. To make it, print this blank on a regular A4 sheet (you can draw it yourself):
Cut a star out of beautiful colored paper and glue it to the outside of the card.
To cut exactly the same star as on the template, print right away
2 blanks: one will go to a postcard, and from the other you will cut out a star, and then circle it on beautiful colored paper.
The inscription "February 23" can also be done without using a printer: write completely by hand or cut out numbers from paper, and write the month.
Postcard made of ... matches
Matches are not a toy for children, but nevertheless, under the supervision of a mother, it is from matches that you can make a very original basis for a future postcard. Gradually grease thick cardboard with PVA glue and place matches on it in a checkerboard pattern. You can decorate a postcard with fragments cut from a purchased postcard or draw it yourself, and then cut and glue it.
Volume postcard
Children will be able to make voluminous postcards by February 23rd. You just need to understand the principle by which they are made.
A blank for a future postcard is cut out of thick paper. Then it is bent in half and 2 small cuts are made in the very center with a clerical knife. The result should be a cut-out strip of paper right in the center of the postcard.
Now you can cut out a larger blank from colored paper - it will serve as the front part of the postcard. And then a blank with a slot should be glued to this front part. At the same time, the slot DOES NOT stick, but folds into the inside of the postcard like a step.
You can also make 3 steps, as shown in the photo,
then the central picture will hold better.
The base of the postcard is ready, it remains to find a suitable "military" picture, print it, cut it out and stick it to the steps. And don't forget to sign the card before handing it over!
Postcard with a boat
If dad served in the navy, then the child can make a postcard for him or even a whole picture with a paper boat. To do this, you will need thick cardboard as the basis of the entire composition, colored pencils, glue (Moment gel is suitable) and a sheet of paper for making a boat.
Then everything is simple: colored pencils are glued to cardboard or a photo frame around the entire perimeter. A boat is folded out of paper and glued directly to the center of the composition. The sea and the sun are drawn with pencils, and the present for dad is ready!
MEGA-simple stylish card
In conclusion, I would like to show you one more idea for a simple postcard, which nevertheless looks very stylish and festive. To make it, you will have to call mom for help, but the children will be able to cut out the base for the postcard and 3 stars from beautiful decorative paper on their own. Then mom will only have to sew the stars to the paper base. How do you like this idea for a greeting card from February 23rd? 🙂
We hope that you will like the proposed ideas and you will definitely use them to make postcards for all defenders in your family)
Early development has recently become especially popular with modern parents. This is due to a significant increase in the level of training that a first grader should have. "Pea" is website, child development with which it will become an exciting experience for the whole family.
We tried to fill our portal with the most interesting materials that are designed to help parents in their daily work on the upbringing and education of preschoolers. Early Childhood Development Site"Pea" offers all the variety of games and interesting tasks for children, aimed at acquiring certain skills by the child and improving his own skills. All materials posted on the portal have one goal - to prepare the child for school as much as possible.
Presentations for children as one of the best ways to teach a child
Information technology has made great strides in recent years. Modern children easily master computer technology, and as a result of this, they have become especially widespread presentations for child development... This is a special type of material that helps babies to more easily master all the information.
When carried out preparation of children to school, presentation is often of key importance. Bright and colorful pictures allow the kid to visually see the world around him, to imagine plants and animals that he has never met before. Children's presentations for children presented in the public domain, which allows all parents to use them in independent studies with the child.
Electronic presentations for children download - it is so simple
Modern sites present a wide variety of materials that parents can use in their activities with their child. We tried to make our own free presentations for children slightly different, different from all the others.
First of all, our materials are quite informative. They will be interesting not only for preschoolers. Such presentations for elementary school children will work just as well. A logical question arises - is it possible that a first grader and a three-year-old child can assimilate one volume of information that will be interesting for the first and available for the second to understand.
Definitely not. Our materials work on a slightly different principle. Mainly presentations for children of the preparatory group... They cover all the points a child needs to know before school. However, the child should still start teaching earlier - for example, at 3-4 years old, the child is already ready to see presentations for kindergarten children.
At this age, the baby is tormented by a wide variety of questions that adults, at times, cannot answer. But successful child development possible only when he gets free access to all things interesting in his understanding. He may not understand some of the materials that are not yet so interesting to him due to his age, but if you repeat the lesson six months later, the little one will learn more points.
Preschool development of children using unique materials
The uniqueness of our materials lies in several important points. First, as mentioned above, is the availability and completeness of information, which makes preschool child development successful. The second point is bright and colorful pictures. Thus, preschool child development site trying to make it interesting, that is, the little one will definitely be interested in high-quality photographs and pictures that are in each presentation.
And finally, one more point, in our opinion, one of the most important. Free presentation for children implies the presence of certain tasks at the end, aimed at consolidating materials and developing certain skills of the baby. These can be games for logic, thinking, speech development, the development of fine motor skills and others. Thus, the child easily assimilates all the information received and has a pleasant time with his parents. Perhaps these are the best parameters for successful learning.
One of the important holidays is just around the corner - Defender of the Fatherland Day. If you still can't think of what to give your beloved men, then create unique gifts for them with your own hands. This article contains the easiest, but at the same time, interesting and detailed DIY crafts master classes for February 23, which your child can easily present to dad or grandfather as a gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day. I present to you the 10 best master classes on how to make crafts for February 23 with your own hands with step by step photos.

How many such gifts are created by children's pens! To do this, they use not only a variety of paper and plasticine, but also sweets, ribbons, ice cream sticks and many other unusual items for this.
The availability and convenience of such materials allows you to constantly use them, and with each new craft, apply them in a new way. It's no secret that the same materials can be used in crafts of varying complexity. There are many similar workshops that are also aimed at children of different ages and with different skills.
Most often, children choose airplanes as a gift for February 23rd. But there are a huge number of ways to create them, as well as the materials possible for this: cardboard, paper, matchboxes and much more. In this master class I will show you how to make an airplane from a plastic bottle using the papier-mâché technique.
We take a plastic bottle, in my case it is a small 0.5 liter water bottle .. Cut it off with a knife just above the middle, and also cut off the nose of the bottle.
We make cuts on both sides and join the blanks.
If you wish, you can copy our sketch and transfer it to a sheet of A4 paper folded in half.
Using glue and tape, we attach the wings and tail.
Airplane wheels require 6 plastic bottle caps. Using scotch tape, we connect two and four covers together.
We glue the wheels and begin to glue the plane with pieces of newspaper, having previously impregnated them with PVA glue using the papier-mâché technique.
Glue the top layer with white paper or white napkins. After all the layers of the craft are dry, paint the finished plane with acrylic paint.
All that remains is to add a star-shaped applique, and the cut-out photos can be glued to the windows.
Our plane is ready to fly!
02. Do-it-yourself plasticine tank
A do-it-yourself tank made of plasticine is an excellent craft for the Defender of the Fatherland Day. In the future, it can be taken to an exhibition or presented to grandfather, dad or brother.
For this master class, we need green, black and red plasticine, also a piece of wire, a toothpick and a pencil.
We will make the lower part of the tank hull in the form of a rectangular bar, sharpening one side of it.
We prepare two black strips by pressing down along the entire length with a toothpick, 10 large cakes and 4 small ones made of green plasticine.
Press down on the cakes with the back of the pencil and draw the axes with the tip of a toothpick.
Putting together 5 wheels and 2 small ones on each side, wrap them with a track.
We glue the green protection tape on top.
We glue the tracks on the sides.
Take the second green bar.
We glue it, beveling the front part with a stack.
We attach the muzzle in front and add small details, an antenna and a red plasticine star.

Draw all the parts of the plane.
For the case, you can take a juice container.

Decorate the steering wheel with ready-made sweets.
Our sweet steering wheel is ready!
05. Tank of two sponges
Such a craft can be a wonderful gift from a child for the holidays on May 9 or February 23. Its production does not take much time, and a sponge for washing dishes will be enough from the materials. Our master class shows the step-by-step production of a tank from scrap materials.
For work you will need:
- two green sponges;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- dark felt-tip pen;
- glue gun;
- ruble coin;
- a green straw.
Tear off a dense layer from one of the sponges.
On the back of this dense layer of sponge, using a ruble coin and a dark felt-tip pen, draw six circles.
We cut them out.
Then we take a glue gun and use it to fix these circles on the sides of the other sponge (three circles on each side).
Let's start making the turret of our tank. To do this, on the remaining soft part of the sponge (from which a dense layer was torn off), we outline a square with sides of 4 cm.
Cut out the tower with scissors.
Cut off 8 cm from the green straw - this will be the muzzle of our tank. We insert it into the tower, having previously made a small indentation in it with the help of scissors.
Apply hot glue to the underside of the tower.
We fix the tower to the main part.
If you wish, you can decorate the tank, for this we cut out small stars from red cardboard.
We glue them to the sides of the tower. Our tank is ready.
Such a craft will not only be a good gift for February 26, but also serve as a toy for a boy.
Such a star is made very simply - for it we need wire, red yarn and PVA glue.
With the help of round-nose pliers, we make a star out of the wire.
We leave to dry.
To create this plane, you will need wooden clothespins, two ice cream sticks, a piece of cardboard for the tail, two thin wooden tubes and acrylic paints.
Using hot glue and straws, we attach ice cream sticks to each other.
We make a tail blank from cardboard.
We glue the tail to the clothespin.
We paint the finished plane with acrylic paints.
Fostering a sense of patriotism in children is one of the most important tasks of teachers and parents. But for young children it is not enough just to talk about the war, about battles, victories and defeats. For them, a very important place is occupied by visual aids, games and classes devoted to military topics.
Therefore, the child should not only hear about the war, but also look at illustrations, filming, photographs, and also capture their emotions in drawings or crafts. Despite the fact that mainly girls are engaged in knitting, this application will undoubtedly arouse interest among the young defenders of the Fatherland.
To knit the Tank applique, you need to prepare the following materials:
- Hook number 1;
- Medium yarn, such as Jeans;
- Decorative star. If one was not found, you can take it from the New Year's pendants to decorate the Christmas tree;
- Scissors
- Moment glue, preferably transparent.
We start knitting the applique with its "caterpillars". To do this, we collect 10 air loops.
Then we knit 3 more air loops for lifting, and after that we knit columns with one crochet to the end of the row. In the very last loop of the row we knit 7-8 double crochets to form a “fan” of loops. If in this place the edge is bent, then we increase the number of single crochet, since the applique should be flat.
Next, we knit the double crochet along the opposite edge to the very last loop, from where we started the row. In this loop we again make a "fan" of double crochets, but in a smaller amount than in the previous case, since there are already several loops in this place. As a result, you should get such an elongated oval - the "caterpillar" of the tank.
In the second row, first we knit 5 single crochets.
After that, we make 1 air loop to highlight the beginning of knitting of the upper part of the tank.
We turn the knitting and again knit 8 single crochet stitches.
To make a tank gun in this place, we knit 5 air loops.
Add one more loop for lifting, and then along these air loops we knit single crochet stitches to the end of the row, including 8 loops of the tank's "cabin".
Turn the applique again and knit 8 single crochet stitches. At the end of the work, using the Moment glue, carefully glue an asterisk onto the “booth” of the tank.
The Tank application is ready. It can be used to make postcards for Victory Day, February 23, or any other themed crafts.
Are you preparing a gift for a man? Nothing to decorate the gift box with? Or maybe you have prepared an original postcard and you need a bright accent for it? A man's flower made will help you get out of any situation. To create such masterpieces, you can use candy wrappers, notebook papers, craft paper, and anything else.
On the Internet, you can find special sheets that need to be cut.
You can take any design paper with a neutral or masculine pattern.
And someone may like this color option.
So, let's start creating. To work you need:
- The above paper is 5x5 cm in size. Having mastered the technique, you can create flowers of any size. The paper may be cut neatly or have torn edges.
- Adhesive for fixing the modules.
The first version of the flower
Fold the module in half, then in half again to make a smaller square.
You need to make 8 modules in this way.
Four modules must be glued to any piece of paper with a small gap, placing them with a folded corner inward.
Then, in the same way, only without indents, we glue four more modules on top, turning them 45 degrees.
We decorate the middle, twist the edges a little, and the stylish decoration is ready.
If, when gluing the first four modules, you leave a larger gap between them, the flower will look different.
The flower is more complicated
Fold the paper squares as shown in the photo. 
First, a diagonal line is found, then the sides of the square are tucked towards it. The resulting airplane folds in half lengthwise. We make 8 identical modules. The last step: you need to carefully nest the modules one into the other, using the resulting pockets.
At the exit we get an original decoration for a man's gift.
In this case, glue is only needed to fix the already finished decor directly on the gift item. If you make modules from squares with the same pattern, fold the modules exactly the same, relative to the pattern, then your flowers will look neater and acquire an additional pattern.
Such a nice tank can be made from matchboxes and colored paper.
We glue the boxes with green paper as shown in the photo. For the tower, we take the green cap from the plastic bottle, for the barrel - we wrap the toothpick with green paper.
Cut the wheels out of black paper.
It remains only to collect all the parts and the tank is ready!

Crafts for February 23, created by a child with their own hands with great care and attention, are of great value on this holiday.
A unique gift will bring joy not only to parents, but also to the child himself, because with the help of it he will express his love for them. Let him bring joyful emotions to loved ones!
Not all men have a positive attitude towards useless gifts, therefore, help your child create such a craft with his own hands that will be useful and will not gather dust somewhere in the closet. If you think a little, then the created gift can turn out to be much more surprising and more practical than the purchased one.
