Good day, all creative people!)
Very often I communicate with my parents who spend a lot of time, playing with children, creatively spending time together. That only invent mothers' moms! I, like a mom of two children (Junior 4 years old), the topic of children's comprehensive development very much I support!
And ideas creative in me immediately respond, I can not pass any of interest, especially or knitted.
For little babies, I really liked the idea of \u200b\u200bsmall game spaces, for example, what knitted cleans and farms I found on the Internet. The combination of different thickens associated from different ladies in various techniques is very interesting for children's fingers. Even little kids, feeling, trying to pull (and tear off :)), looking at - will be interested in this tactile mat: This piece is smooth, and this-rough, this Polyanka-with shaggy herb, and on the degree-convex grooves, here the track with pebbles - beads that are so interesting to walk with their fingers!
And what to talk about older kids (and, naturally, their moms)!
You can plant knitted vegetables (or polymer clay vegetables) in a garden on the beds, you can feed the grass on the Long Term Debt Consolidation Loans Poland of Cows, goats, and even horses, you can bathe in the pond of fish and men
A K. knitted Polyanka In the photo above the author gave small tips and shared, as she did his clearing http://dukar108.gallery.ru/watch?ph\u003dqrv-cr8u9
Surely you have at home there is a set of plastic small animals, invent new games with them on such a developing rug!
You can add knitted animals to add - it will still be colorful! 
Add tracks - and it will be possible to carry the machines on them, of course, observing the rules road And passing pedestrians and pets!
Even the bridge over the river can be associated!
Game options with such a knitted developing rug! And most importantly, together, the time spent will return to you later by attention and love!
Such a rug I created to order, show you what happened to me.
My Polyanka-Developing game mat for babies!
So nice and interestingly feel this softness-roof-roughness-smoothness-fluffiness and even a bit barred!
Tried to make a rug so that it was and useful, and interesting, and Alive!
The size of the finished rug is about 40 cm by 60 cm (half of the watman). 
Used cotton, woolen and acrylic strings, wooden beads, beads From coral, plastic buttons and even real shells!
In order for the rug well to hold the form, the obfatable side is dense, well holding the form of the fabric. The knitted part is sewn to a dense basis so that the Bridge Mortgage can be comfortably rolling the mat and get it for the game. 
I hope the baby will like it!
The rug is created on the order. Accurate repetition is impossible.
Who is interested, - look at the video about our with Yaroslav, a familiarization lesson with a rug.
For the foundation, I took a piece of coarse canvas, the size of about a meter per meter. As a result, the rug turned out 82 to 76 cm. Not too big. However, if you do more, the child during the game will need to reach through the entire rug, climb on it, the figures fall - not very convenient.
On the fabric roughly outlined the elements of the landscape. The main pieces knitted on the spokes and crochet. The beds knitted from thick wool of brown, on spokes - with a rubber band and a handful, crocheted a large horizontal gum made. Then she sewed along the edge to the base. Plants on the beds knitted crochet and sewed point.
3. The grass in the meadow first did as a carpet: I attached every thread, pulling the crochet through the principle of the base - it was the most time-consuming part of the work. As a result, one fragment of green and one was thus made in yellow-orange-brown tones. Then I decided not to suffer and simply knitted on the knitting of the threads of the "grass" of a dark green color and sewed. It was much easier.
Plots with "beveled grass" embroidered (one fragment of the semi-trial, the second - in the attachment of even rows). It turned out well - the texture is clearly visible. Other sites simply knitted with bars without a crochet, and then sewed.
Flowers knitted with fluffy multicolored yarn. At first, I tried to tie in the type of beds: brown ground, and to sew knitted flowers on top, but I did not like, sprout. Too stand out, somehow rudely turned out.
4. The track knitted with a crochet from melange x. b. Threads, then sewed. The site - the courtyard knocked on the crochet from the coarse linen threads, sewed, then on top of the embroidery embroidered the "blocking" or how else to call - I do not know.
Pond and river knitted with crochet. The pond tried to do more interesting, some elements of the free-form are even present there, and the river - just tied the sausage and sewed on top of the pigtails from air loops light color. The bridge tied with a rubber band and sewed from above.
The bushes did from the pumps, then sewed. This is already the last place.

8. Trees: The base of the trunk is a cardboard tube from toilet paper. On it the size of the pipe with crochet or knitting needles - someone as more convenient, I knitted with a crochet. For stability, you need to hold a stand from cardboard, it can be decorated with grass. Crohn: Much lush pumps are attached.

Completing the work: process edges, sunmate a lining from dense tissue so that the rug is better to hold the shape, and the "haircut of lawns and bushes" is to align meadows and give a neat pompom shape.
If your mother or grandmother know how to knit, you can deliver a holiday to a child, presenting such a knitted farm as a gift for one of the celebrations. Of course, you can buy a farm with animals in Ikea, but a farm associated with your own hands is not only a set of items for a developing game with a child, but transferred in these "subjects" the love of mom's love for your chad. Such a farm will be a real relic in your family. Surely when your children grow up, they will want to transfer it to the next younger generation - your children are your grandchildren and granddaughters.
Let's start knitting a farm from the base - fields, meadows, landing in the form of a bed with a cabbage, corn field and further.
Knitted farm
part 1: Landscape (fields, meadows, trees, plants, landing)
This bright color landscape will become a wonderful background for your small farm.
Base
Redraw the drawing of the arrangement of knitted fields, meadows and households on a small sheet of paper. Place this base (rug) under canvas or canvas and felt-tipper draw on the canvas its contour. The size of the rug must be about 130 x 90 cm, add 6 cm throughout the perimeter of the rug onto the grounds.
What will be needed to perform a knitted farm
Take a thick woolen yarn for knitting or carpet thread - it is best suited for the base, some of which will be covered with a pile of threads of different devices (grass and shrubs), and part is embroidered.
Colors and patterns for performing a landscape of a knitted farm
Meadows: Lower a light green color with a length of 10 cm (semi-cristle and stroke for 3 or 4 squares in height).
Road and yard: open semi-trial gray and beige or gray-yellow thread in 2 additions.
Plowed fields: Tie a rubber band 1 x 1 of the field of the desired shape and the size of brown threads of several shades and the visce to the canvas according to the scheme.
Corn fields: Use some shades yellow colorAs described below.
Field with ripened corn: A pile of saturated yellow threads in 2 additions of 18 cm long.
Field 1: A pile of threads of dark green color in 2 additions 16 cm long.
Field 2: Vault from the threads of two different shades green, 20 cm long.
Field 3: Embroidery by semi-trial threads of yellow and green colors in 2 additions.
The field with the collected corn: Embroidery by smooth threads yellow shades in 2 additions.

Trees.
- For trunks you need 2 cardboard cylinders;
- for the top - two big Pompona From thick green yarn.
Tank for each tree do this: Tie with dark brown threads with knitting with a diameter of 3.25 mm. A stroke of a blank with a length of 14 cm. Wrap it around a cardboard cylinder and sew. Glue the pompon from above. The tree will be more stable if to strengthen it on the basis of cardboard.
Flowers and plants
They can be knitting them with knitting, crochet or make in the form of a small fringe from cropping yarn.
They are very simple in manufacture and do not require a sample: just tie a crochet a few small air chains and the fractures of their ends to the base at one point. Place the flowers in front of the houses around the trees and shrubs.
Previously, we have already written how quickly and just tie. Look this description. Using it, you can add to the landscape the appropriate shallow animation. In subsequent articles, we will tell you how to knit horses, pigs, clarops, cows, donkey and, the same, the farmer himself, his wife and children.
Very soon, your farm will heal full life!
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a rug from the book Jane Messen "Knit a fairy tale" http://www.labirint-shop.ru/books/153215/ For the base, I took a piece of coarse canvas, the size of about a meter per meter.
