2. Have the child smear the bump with liquid honey, then roll it in another container so that the seeds stick to the sweet surface.
3. Now he will put his creation on a spread paper or a tray so that the honey dries up, and the treat for birds is better attached to the cone.
4. After that, it's time to tie a thread to the feeder and go for a walk with the child to hang crafts on a tree.

Instead of honey, you can use a thick paste. To make it, pour 1 tbsp. l. flour, dilute with a glass of water. While stirring, bring to a boil.

Remind the children that birds should not be given salty, black bread so that the kids do not use such products when making bird feeders.

2. When the solution boils, remove from heat, cool slightly and mix with bird food.
3. Lay baking paper on the table, place cookie cutters on it, fill them with the prepared mixture.
4. Insert a loop of twine or ribbon inside, knot inward. Remove for half an hour in the freezer.
5. After that, the forms are taken out of there and left on the table so that the contents dry out during the day. Then the bird food is removed and hung out the window, on the trees in the yard.

Here's how to make similar crafts from seeds and cereals. The turn has come pumpkin seeds. These will be the needles of a lush Christmas tree. They need to be thrust into the tree trunk, also starting from the bottom. Try to place the elements of subsequent rows between the seeds of the previous ones.

Semolina is rubbed with gouache - half with green, half with yellow. On a plate you need to apply a drawing with large features, for example, such a goose.

Starting from the tail, grease parts of his body with glue and attach cucumber or melon seeds. And the wing needs to be highlighted with black apple seeds, but quince seeds can also be used.

To make paws and a beak, melon or cucumber seeds are covered with red gouache and allowed to dry. Now they need to be glued to the markings.

To make grass lower part background apply glue, sprinkle this area with green semolina. The upper half of the picture is decorated with the same groats, but yellow.

Children's crafts from legumes with their own hands

Crafts from beans, beans, peas can also be done by children. At the same time learn the alphabet. Draw letters on the paper, let the child grease each one in turn with glue and attach the prepared seeds.

To make a pumpkin-shaped panel, give the child:

• seeds of halves of dry peas;
• glue;
• a sheet of cardboard and colored paper;
• a leaf of a tree;
• sesame seeds;
• pencil.

A colored sheet of paper is glued onto the cardboard, on which you need to draw the outlines of a pumpkin and its fragments. Halves of peas are glued on them, and between these slices - sesame seeds, on top - a dry leaf of a tree.

To make chickens so funny and beautiful, children can also use legumes. Give them a template for these baby chickens. Let them circle it, and sketch the noses and paws with a yellow pencil. Glue dry peas on the surface of one chicken. Create another from beans. For the third, corn is suitable.

To make an owl, kids will need:

• pattern of this bird;
• cardboard;
• white, brown, red beans;
• beans;

Wings are made from red, and the tummy and outlines of the eyes are made from white. The pupils are laid out with black beans, and the paws and beak with yellow peas or corn of that color.

Bean seeds make beautiful colored crafts. You can invite the child to lay out a circular pattern. Glue lentil seeds in the center and outside, and build circles from white beans, beans, yellow peas or corn.

How to make a topiary from peas?

Bean seeds will also help to make it. To make a tree count, you need to take:

• a package of green peas (polished and chopped);
• foam ball;
• dry moss packaging;
• 1 clay pot of medium size;
• hot glue;
• PVA glue;
• brush;
• for the trunk - a skewer, a wooden stick or a simple pencil;
• pot paint;
• green acrylic paint;
• floral foam or alabaster or cement;
• Styrofoam.

First you need to paint the pot and trunk in the desired colors, if required. But the ball must be decorated with green paint. This can be done in two ways: cover half of the ball when dry, paint the other side, wait until it dries. And only then cut a hole in it and insert the barrel. Or do it earlier, securing the barrel, and then immediately paint the entire ball.

When it dries, decorate it with peas. Here's how to make the topiary next. Lubricate a small area of ​​the ball with a brush with PVA glue, then generously cover it with peas.

When the beans are attached, decorate the next piece of foam base. Thus, close the ball completely and remove it until morning to dry.

When this happens, inspect the work, if there are small uncovered areas, sprinkle them with grits.

It's time to fix the crown. To do this, drop glue from the “hot gun” into the hole in the ball, insert the barrel here.

For better fixation, it is advisable to additionally fix the barrel with pieces of paper and carefully glue them, pouring more glue here. If you don't put paper in, the hot glue can melt the foam, making the hole too deep.

Now put the stem in the pot, secure this stick with alabaster, cement or floral foam.

After these solutions have dried, you need to put moss on the surface, glue it, decorate with sisal, peas, and cereals.

To make such a wreath, take:

• green peas;
• "hot gun" or PVA glue;
• straw wreaths - 2 pcs.;
• baking sheet;
• brush;
• leg-split.

If you don't have straw wreaths, then use a Styrofoam blank of this shape, but it needs to be covered with green acrylic paint.

Place the peas on a baking sheet or tray. Lubricating the inside of the wreath with glue, sprinkle it with peas.

Then, spreading small areas of glue, roll the wreath over the peas to attach these small particles. Once the glue is dry, tie a twine to the wreath, decorate with ribbon, and hang over the door.

The door is decorated. Make table decorations. To make napkin rings, take:

Children's crafts from seeds (pits) of watermelon

Watermelon seeds are wonderful, which can be used in children's creativity. What can be done from watermelon seeds with children?

One of the most simple ways to fix watermelon seeds on a craft is to press them into plasticine. Even kids can handle this method of making crafts from watermelon seeds, and crafts can be both flat and voluminous. They can be made with children not only in the summer, during the watermelon season, but also at other times of the year, you just need to prepare the seeds.

I somehow met negative feedback one woman for such a craft. She wrote that crafts made from watermelon seeds make her squeamish. I think that she got such an attitude due to the fact that she herself ate watermelons like in a fairy tale - so that it would flow down her mustache, but not into her mouth. And spit out the seeds. But it is much more convenient to eat a watermelon by cutting it into small slices and removing the seeds from them with a knife. There is no reason for squeamishness in this case.

If cardboard is used in the craft in addition to plasticine, it is better if it is glossy, otherwise greasy spots appear on the cardboard from plasticine over time.

To prepare watermelon seeds, they need to be washed well, spread out on a napkin or towel and wait until they dry. Then pour into a jar or box for storage.

Seed- a special multicellular structure of a complex structure, which serves for reproduction and resettlement of seed plants. Outside, the seed is covered with a seed coat, which protects the inner parts of the seed from drying out and mechanical damage.

The smallest seeds weigh 0.001-0.003 mg, and the Seychelles palm seeds reach the maximum size, their weight is about 20 kg.

Many organisms (from fungi and bacteria to birds and mammals) feed heavily, and sometimes exclusively, on seeds. Seeds form the basis of the diet of such animals. as some insects and their larvae (for example, reaper ants), granivorous birds, rodents (chipmunks, squirrels, hamsters, etc.).

Seeds have also been the basis of the human diet since the emergence of agriculture in most regions of the world, primarily seeds of cultivated cereals (wheat, rice, corn, etc.). Seeds are also the main source vegetable oils, which are extracted from sunflower seeds, rapeseed, corn, flax and many other oilseeds.
