Frame for rubber bands
It's no secret that the harmonious development of a child requires a variety of external stimuli. In other words, a child’s intelligence should be developed without relying on nature. This is used by numerous manufacturers of children's toys designed to develop speech, fine motor skills, understanding of the world and much more. However, “purchased” products are no better than those you make yourself. Moreover, many of these toys require a minimum of materials.
For example, a board for rubber bands that can be stretched to produce various shapes and entire pictures can be made in 3-4 hours. The child will like this toy and will be a good tool for developing fine motor skills, learning geometric shapes, the concept of size and basic colors.
In order to make such a frame, we will need:
• Wooden base, dimensions here are approximately 23x29;
• Buttons (about 200 pieces);
• Rubber bands for money (sold in office supply stores).
To make this frame, you also needed PVC glue and a two-layer napkin. The finish on the wooden base was not very good - it had stains and scratches, so it was necessary to drape it.
At the first stage, we drape the board.Separate the top layer of the napkin with the pattern and place it on top of the wooden base. Pour the glue into a small jar and apply it to a napkin using a brush.
Such actions vaguely resemble decoupage. After the glue has dried and the napkin has stuck to the wood, we make markings. To do this, you can use a simple pencil to put dots in the right places (here they are every 2 cm, the distance between the rows is also 2 cm).
After this, press the buttons into the designated points. The effort required to secure the button into the base can range from slight to intense. It all depends on the material used as a base. For example, in some cases the button went up to the top of the board. Then it was removed using a stationery knife to the desired height.
In the end, this is what happens:
That's it, the frame is ready! You can try tightening the elastic bands. First, your baby will need your help to understand the new toy. And then he will make different figures himself and delight you with his imagination.
Happy creativity!
