Guys, I am very pleased to meet you again at our school, to find out how interesting and fun you spent your summer holidays, to see how you have become stronger, tanned and, of course, matured and wiser. I want to read you an interesting poem.

"September Holiday".
The waltz is spinning, spinning like a cloud,
Autumn makes us happy.
The hot summer is over,
The kids came to school.


Children with white bows
Meetings with teachers are expected.
This is the best holiday of September,
The school doors opened,
And the bell rings cheerfully,
The ABC book pages open.


Many bright, shining eyes
They look at us with an enthusiastic feeling,
The flowers dance like a fairy waltz,

The faces are full of kindness.

The first teacher and the first bell
Accompanies children to class.
Bright, spacious, and sunny classroom
It was a pleasure to meet you all.
E. N Obukhova.

Educator.
At our first lesson after the summer holidays, I suggest you make a souvenir - a “Back to School” topiary. So, let’s get to work.

Progress.
1. Making balls from sisal fabric for the crown.
We cut small rectangles from the yellow canvas and roll them in our palms, just as we roll plasticine balls.


The result is balls that are quite dense in structure.


2.Preparing the base of the tree, installing the trunk.
We take a small glass, wrap it in a circle with tape and begin to attach colored pencils to the glass.


This is what a bright, beautiful glass turned out to be.


We form a ball of the required size from paper and newspaper, wrap it with thread to secure the shape.


Make a hole in the ball, add glue and insert a ruler. Now the ball is held firmly.


Next, dilute the alabaster with water to obtain the consistency of sour cream. Pour the resulting mixture into a glass, insert our barrel, holding it until the mass hardens.


3.Decorating the crown.
We begin to decorate our tree with sisal balls.


Between the balls we glue various decorative elements: artificial flowers, counting sticks, letters.


Souvenir – “Back to School” topiary is ready.


We admire our topiary and sing a song about school.

“The first school bell” - words by M. Plyatskovsky, music by Y. Chichkov.
First school bell
Calls me back to class -
This means the noisy summer is over.
On the first day of September,
Giving children joy,
This happens every time.


Chorus:
The school year has come again
Again the desk is waiting for someone,
It's time, it's time, guys, to open
The whole world is like a new notebook.


The classroom walls are bright,
The tables smell like paint,
Golden autumn looks through the windows
And in front of everyone
Leaves in the school garden
They circle quietly, flying smoothly.


Chorus:
Always unnoticed
Our years are rushing by,
But they will not be able to forget forever
The very first call
The very first lesson
And friends - classmates faces.

Educator.
Dear guys, a new academic year is beginning, interesting meetings and new discoveries await you. Good luck and good luck!
Thank you for your attention, once again I congratulate everyone on the holiday, I wish everyone excellent success in their studies!

School is coming soon, and I need time to make some. And today I have a tip!

I'll start with the treats. Don’t forget to look at the article where I showed how and what kind of crafts can be made from candies. This will give you some other gift options.

Bouquet of sweets

It’s not enough to just tie the candy wrappers by the tails. Let's see how to make more original compositions.
We will need:

  • Lollipops or chocolates;
  • Colored paper (can be corrugated and/or multi-colored fabric);
  • Bamboo sticks;
  • Glue or wire;
  • Wrapping paper for a bouquet;
  • Stand. It could be a flower pot with a piece of foam inside;
  • Scissors.

How to make a simple craft:

  • Wrap each candy in crepe paper petals. Secure the bottom edges of the wrapper with wire.
  • Insert the stick into the fastening area.
  • Wrap paper around the stick and tie it tightly with wire. Do this several times, moving down the stick.
  • Wrap green paper on top of the stick.
  • Glue the cut out leaves to the “stem”.
  • Spread the “petals”.
  • Place the “flowers” ​​in the stand.
  • Decorate the composition with a beautiful wrapper on top.

You can do without a stand. Choose your option. You can complement the installation with toys, fresh flowers, etc.

Candy cake

Very similar crafts to what you and I have already made with candies. And the set of materials and tools is the same. I give.

You just need to pay a little more attention to the stand:

  • Choose how many layers your “cake” will have. Cut out a base from foam. It is better to use polystyrene foam, it is denser and will better support the load of treats. And it’s easier to cut out of it: polystyrene foam almost doesn’t crumble.
  • You may want to make a small hole in the top layer. It can be filled with all sorts of goodies. It will be a surprise for the one for whom you are preparing a gift.
  • Cover the base with colored paper. There's a little trick here. For example, brown paper is a chocolate cake. White – covered with a layer of “cream”... etc. The main thing is not to leave any area of ​​the stand unpasted.
  • Bend the tails of the candies to one side, you can even glue them.
  • And glue the side where the tails are hidden to the sides of the cake.
  • Tie a ribbon over the candies.
  • On top, decorate your craft with paper flowers or ones made from candies, beads, small soft toys, bows, etc.

Topiary (sisal, napkins)

Materials:

  • Flower pots;
  • Sisal;
  • Napkins;
  • Fabric (paper);
  • Styrofoam;
  • Twine;
  • Gypsum;
  • Glue;
  • Scissors;
  • Tapes;
  • Stapler;
  • Branch.

Making flowers from napkins:

  1. fold the napkin in half twice
  2. secure in the middle with a stapler
  3. cut a circle with the middle where the staple is attached
  4. We bend all the edges of the napkin upward.

White napkins make very beautiful carnations. We do everything as described above, only using paints we tint the edges of the flower.

We glue our flowers onto a ball of foam plastic and papier mache. If you plan to make a topiary in the shape of a tree, then make a hole in the ball in advance and glue a stick.
We plant the finished tree in a pot. Pour gypsum (mix gypsum with water until it becomes creamy) into a pot and plant a tree. The tree needs to be fixed in the desired position until the plaster hardens.

Sisal topiary

  1. We make balls from sisal. Cutting pieces of different sizes and rolling them between your palms. In the video we made a hanging topiary. Flowers used as decoration were not from napkins, but purchased ones.
  2. Cut out and decorate a foam ball (you can buy a ready-made ball). We coat the ball with glue and wrap twine around it on top or simply paint it in a suitable color so that the white foam plastic does not show through later. We make a hole, fill all the space (except for the hole) with flowers and balls. You can add bows and beads and other decor.
  3. We paint the twig or wrap it with ribbon. Insert into the ball.
  4. We decorate the flowerpot with a nice fabric and fill it with plaster (gypsum mixed with water until it becomes creamy.
  5. We assemble the structure: insert a stick into the plaster in the middle of the flowerpot, fill the space on top of the plaster with sisal balls and other decor.

Video with napkins (though viscose) and sisal.

Topiary magnet

We will need:

  • Magnetic tape;
  • Thick cardboard;
  • Scissors;
  • Glue;
  • Acrylic paint;
  • Felt;
  • Braid.
  • Decor: ribbon, sisal, beads, etc.

Making crafts:

  1. Cut out the topiary shape. That is, there is a pot at the bottom, then a twig, and a “ball” at the top. You can use cardboard or fiberboard as a basis. You can also buy blanks at a craft store.
  2. We fix the magnet at the back.
  3. Paint the middle part, the “twig”.
  4. We glue felt, fabric, napkin, jute rope or other decorative material to the top and bottom parts.
  5. We decorate the “pot” with ribbon.
  6. Decorate the upper part.



Bath bombs

For such an original gift you need only 3 basic components:

  • 200 g soda
  • 100 g citric acid
  • 5-10 ml essential or aromatic oil of your choice
  • 2 ml of simple oil (this can be sunflower, olive, grape, sweet almond, jojoba oil or others, to choose from)
  • food coloring in desired color

Grind citric acid in a coffee grinder. Mix with soda, add oils. We measure the oils using a syringe without a needle. Add dye. If it is water-based, then add a little at a time so that the bomb does not fizz ahead of time. To get a bright color, it is better to first color the soda without citric acid and dry it. Only then introduce the remaining components.
Knead until the mixture becomes like wet sand. You can knead with your hands. It’s just better to wear gloves, as it can “pinch” the skin.

Press into shape and leave to dry for several hours.

The composition may include milk powder and cream, as well as sea salt or potato starch, which additionally care for the skin.

Candlestick

Choose the material for the candlestick. This will depend on the age and capabilities of the baby.

  1. For example, for older children it is not difficult to carve a structure out of wood.
  2. For small ones, you can simply fill the mold with plaster. And the form can be anything. This is an autumn leaf, a feather and a balloon.

  3. You can choose polymer clay. There are also many different options from it. For example, a house. We make the walls; when dry, we glue and mask the seams.

  4. Large shells are also a great material with lots of options. In order for the shells to become candlesticks, they need to be filled with melted wax and supplemented with a wick. You can take both wax and wick from an ordinary small round candle.

  5. Or we glue shells onto the base. The base can be made of cardboard, and the relief can be given with plaster, plaster, texture paste, papier mache or other material.
  6. Glassware, glasses and bottles. Jars can be decorated with paints (we paint the inside or draw a picture, decoupage with a napkin, rope, knitted lace napkin)
  7. From a jar and sea salt. Prepare the salt, if you want to give your candle holders a tint, mix the salt with a small amount of dry food or cosmetic coloring. Thickly coat the jar with PVA glue and roll in salt.

  8. From coffee. The principle is the same as with shells - we make a base and glue coffee.
