Toy traffic light

I bring to your attention an original educational craft toy made from an empty toothpaste box with step-by-step photos.
This master class is intended for: kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers, directors of additional education. In addition, such a “Traffic Light” toy will also be useful for parents of children, as a useful didactic tool for studying traffic light signals with their child. Also in kindergarten or school, you can organize an exhibition of the best traffic light, adding some original elements to it, for example, attaching a cap, handles, etc.
The traffic light doesn't require much time. And the material from which the toy will be made is quite simple and accessible to everyone. In general, there are no limits to imagination, so go ahead to the fairyland of traffic!
For production you will need the following equipment: colored paper (red, yellow, green), one white sheet of A4 format, PVA glue (or glue stick), scissors, an empty toothpaste box, a simple pencil, a ruler, an awl (for making a hole at a traffic light), a lid from a cream or deodorant (for drawing colored circles), a device for a balloon on a plastic leg (a toy will stand on it).

This is how the traffic light turned out! Such an educational voluminous toy will certainly attract the child not only to play, but will also be interesting for him when learning the rules of the road! Note. For better stability of the traffic light, it is better to shorten the plastic leg a little with scissors.
And to study signals, you can add one color to the toy from different sides - red, yellow and green, so that children can alternately name a certain color and what it means.
