How to make Baba Yaga with your own hands - 110 photos of the best themed crafts for children and adults

At the dacha there is always free space near the house. Some people like to plant it with flowers, others find more interesting uses for it, such as building Baba Yaga’s hut with their own hands. Just imagine how such a piece of yard interior will delight both children and adults. Moreover, such a hut can be made from fairly simple materials.

Almost all structural elements will be assembled from natural materials. For a child, this place will become a favorite place to play. This article will show several options for making unusual structures for children that parents can easily make.

Repertoire of Baba Yaga's hut

With great pleasure and delight, children get acquainted with the life of Baba Yaga, the performance of magical rituals and the process of making various potions. There is also the opportunity to learn villainous secrets (parents are asked not to worry - these are simply various pranks). The photo below shows the table at which Baga Yaga and Leshy plan their affairs.

The holy of holies of Baba Yaga's hut is the stove. It was here that during her fairy-tale life she tried to bake many characters from children's fairy tales who did not obey their parents, and also prepared a potion for miraculous spells. Now Baba Yaga allows children to explore the structure of the Russian stove and tells how it was used in the old days. And if you book a tour with tea in advance, Baba Yaga will also prepare treats for tea.

Children are invited to take part in the preparation of aromatic herbal tea, and those who are especially curious can even learn the secrets of witchcraft potions. If desired, guests are invited to join in the making of bracelets and amulets with spells that will help in business (especially in studies).

The children will also be offered an inspection of a flying stupa and a broom, which the forest witch needs in order to cover up the traces of her treacherous deeds and confuse the path of those who are trying to catch up with her. True, Baba Yaga forgot the magic words with which she controlled the stupa, but she remembers well where and how these and many other household items were used.

Additional programs

Baba Yaga's hut in the Izmailovo Kremlin offers various entertainment depending on the age category of children, you can even take part in a master class on preparing the magical “Witch's jelly” or “Bayun soup”; those with a sweet tooth can choose “Raspberry witchcraft jam”. In a word, the hostess will have recipes for every taste.

The preparation of the potion must be precise and correct - therefore, especially important recipes are written down and pinned in a visible place, so as not to forget anything, because the granny is already old. The list of ingredients proves that collecting them is labor-intensive. It’s not for nothing that in fairy tales Baba Yaga is always busy with important things: she’s either tinkering with a mortar, or collecting herbs, or even greeting good fellows.

Baba Yaga allows all visitors to climb the bell tower. There everyone can make their deepest wish, ring the bells and wait for it to come true. At the same time, we must not forget that, according to tradition, one cannot tell anyone about this desire, only then will it come true.

To celebrate a birthday, you can order a special entertainment program with competitions. The host, naturally, will be the hostess herself, who with her witchcraft dances will make all your wishes come true. And besides your guests, Leshiy and Koschey the Immortal can come to the holiday.

A hut on chicken legs

Crafts from plywood (160 photos): step-by-step master class on production, types of products, detailed diagrams, advice from masters
Sometimes we really want there to be a piece of a fairy tale among the everyday things in our home. The most interesting thing is that you can create it with your own hands - the main thing is to have the desire and free time. Let's make a hut on chicken legs today. No, not a rickety ramshackle house, but a nice, cute corner for Baba Yaga, because not in all fairy tales she is evil and treacherous.

two bamboo napkins of different shades;
corrugated cardboard;
cable with two cores or dense wire;
milky, yellow and brown yarn;
wooden skewers;
foamiran black and white;
acrylic paints and brush;
penoplex or foam spools;
wooden stump;
foam mushroom;
glue gun, pruning shears, scissors, pencil, ruler.

We apply glue along the entire length, and not just along the edges. It will be a shame if some part comes off over time. Be sure to alternate colors. When the entire wall is sealed, we cut off the excess length of the sticks with pruning shears. So we glue the four sides of the house and two triangles of the roof. The process is of course long and very painstaking, but the result is worth it.

Using light sticks we paste the window around the outline and make a partition.

We assemble the house: we put the walls close to each other and fix them with tape on the inside.

We glue the finished box to the bottom. You can add glue along all the seams for reliability.

We also glue the frame of the hut roof.
Glue pasted triangles to it.
We cover the upper sections with dark-colored sticks.
Glue the roof onto the walls of the house.

We turn one of the sides of the roof towards us, glue two horizontal sticks 1.5 cm longer on each side of the roof itself at the top and bottom. We cover the entire part with dark colored sticks.

We also glue the other side. On top, at the junction of the two halves, glue two light sticks, and a skewer between them.

We cut out a rectangle from corrugated cardboard with sides 12 cm by 17 cm. Glue the entire house onto it. We cover all corners with tape.

We paste over the porch of our hut with light sticks. Glue skewers along the contour.

Let's start with the legs: cut the cable or wire into pieces of 17 cm - leave 12 cm for the leg, bend 5 cm for the foot. For each leg we cut three such segments. In two sections we strip the cable from the sheath and separate the conductors. On the third segment, we clean only the edge for the claw - no more than 1 cm.

We wrap the claws with light yarn and fix it with glue. Moreover, the central finger will be made of two cores of different segments.

We wrap the outer fingers with yellow yarn.

Lastly, we wrap the middle finger, reaching the junction of the three fingers, wrap them well both from the outside and from the inside.

We put them on our legs.
And cut the bottom so that it looks like a real chicken leg.
Wrap with brown yarn.

Let's go back to the house and add some details. We glue three pieces of skewers no more than 1 cm long onto the façade.

We take a strip of ordinary cardboard measuring 4 cm by 8 cm. Glue it together.

Cover with dark colored sticks.

We cover a 10 cm long skewer with sticks from a broom. We glue our mortar and a broom into it.

Fly agarics. We heat the gun well, squeeze out round drops of glue onto a glossy surface (you can take the cover of a landscape paper). We leave them to harden. Remove and glue each cap onto a piece of skewer. We paint with paints.

We glue fly agaric mushrooms onto a harsh thread, and glue the bunch onto the hut.
Some more mushrooms near the stupa.
And ladybugs, the manufacturing process of which can be seen in the “Autumn Topiary” master class.

Now the most important part: you need to glue the legs to the hut. The main thing here is to successfully choose the balance. Therefore, do not be lazy to put the hut on its legs several times, choosing the most stable option. We outline the selected place with a pencil or felt-tip pen, apply glue to each and every leg and glue them one by one.

Glue the hut onto the stump.
There are never too many fly agarics.
Glue a dry autumn leaf to the roof.
So in our house there is a piece of a fairy tale.

And if you need a hut made at home, then this is also not a problem. You will need to find any street snag, the main thing is that it is stable.

Then saw off what is unnecessary from a small block and leave a small square. A hole is made inside this block to secure the snag leg.

The roof is assembled from wooden pieces. The entire building can be slightly burned, which will give it a specific look.

Since our hut is miniature, all elements can be easily held together with PVA glue. The roof of the hut is decorated with beautiful lush reeds or fluffy fabric, as in the photo:

Windows and doors are made of wood that can be easily painted in any color. Don't forget about the small ladder. To revive Baba Yaga's hut, it is recommended to place some characters near it.

These can be hand-knitted toys or any purchased ones. You can additionally build a broom from the planks, then it will be clear at first glance who lives in such a hut.

To create Baba Yaga's hut you need very few materials, and all of them are easy to process and connect, so don't miss the moment to have fun with your children.

Playground house

The master class on how to build this structure with your own hands is addressed not to children, but to their parents. A wooden hut can make a children's playground more beautiful and bring a fairy tale to a private yard. The object is made from solid logs or hewn boards. In the second case, the structure will be lighter, safer, but less durable.

The construction of a hut can be divided into the following stages:

The construction of chicken legs is the basis and support for the future structure.
Installation of the base. The “floor” of the hut will subsequently fall on it.
Construction of walls.
Roof laying.
Assembling and securing the ladder. It will also serve as additional support.
External and internal decoration of the hut.

Attention! There is no need for a ceiling in such a building. She's already modest in size

The overlap will take away the space needed for play.

The basis of the hut is wood in several variations. For the work you will need a full set of carpentry and construction tools. Fastening materials - anchor bolts (30-40 cm long), self-tapping screws. Use concrete to form the foundation.

How to make a three-dimensional hand out of paper: diagrams, projects, stages and features of making paper hands (video and 115 photos)

To choose a manufacturing method, you need to decide on the purpose of the craft - whether it will be a tabletop house or a decoration in the country.

From the box

To make a craft from a box, first select the materials:

any box;
cardboard (for the roof);
scissors;
stationery knife;
glue;
pencil;
paints;
brushes

When all the materials are prepared, you can proceed directly to assembling the hut. This method is the easiest and fastest.

After selecting a suitable box, we clear it of tape and paint over any extraneous inscriptions with a thick layer of paint.
Draw the door and windows. If you cut them out, you will have to process the edges of the holes so that the cuts look neat. Self-adhesive paper of the desired color or tape is suitable for this.
Next we create the roof. It can be either removable or rigidly attached.
We make a chimney from paper or cardboard.
Chicken legs are made from any available material. Cutting from wood or foam is best. After all, the box house is quite voluminous and needs a lot of fastening.

From paper logs

The next method is more labor-intensive. However, the result is an unusually voluminous and authentic fairy-tale hut.

The following materials will be required:

whatman;
colored paper;
scissors;
glue;
dye.

Read this: DIY postcard boxes: popular crafts from leftover materials

To begin with, we determine the dimensions of the future structure. Then:

Whatman paper is drawn into equal segments (with allowance for overlapping paper when gluing).
Then the resulting strips are cut out. Tubes are glued from them - these are logs. Then neat circles are cut out to cover the side “cuts” of the logs.
We received logs of equal size. Their quantity must be calculated in advance. The logs are painted brown or covered with paper.
Glue them together. Get the walls of a wooden hut.
Windows and doors can be prepared in advance. Or you can cut it out after completing the walls. As an option, glue blanks with painted windows and a door.
The roof is made of cardboard folded in half. Then it is painted with a tile pattern.
Chicken legs are made from any available material. Cutting from wood or foam is best.

If the craft is small, you can decorate it with animal toys or make an additional fence out of cardboard.

From natural materials

Literally everything that is found in the forest can be used to make Baba Yaga's hut.

Materials of natural origin, such as:

moss;
branches;
bark;
cones;
driftwood.

In our case, we will cover the box with bark or branches so that as few cardboard spots as possible are visible. We assemble the walls of the future hut from unopened fir cones, attaching them with glue.

In order for the cones to keep their shape longer, they must be soaked in an adhesive solution immediately after being brought home from the forest. Moss and bark will make a beautiful roof, and driftwood will be suitable as chicken legs.

This craft matches the fairy-tale image as closely as possible.

House on a summer cottage

Such a fairy-tale house, although not so often, is still found in summer cottages. For adults, such a structure may not be of any use, but for children it causes a lot of delight.

The easiest option is to order a log hut from professionals based on your own sketches. That is, find a company that cuts log huts. You can complicate the task and simply order some log blanks and then assemble them yourself. It will undoubtedly be cheaper this way.

So, a hut on chicken legs, with strictly vertical walls, made of purchased logs.

For the greatest resemblance to the hut of the real Baba Yaga, it is necessary to install a pair of “chicken” legs. These can be rhizomes of old coniferous trees (pines or spruces). These roots must be thoroughly cleaned of soil and bark. Then soak it in several layers with antiseptics and cover it with an anti-rotting agent.
To make the hut stable, its legs-pillars, after antiseptic treatment, are deepened 50 cm into the ground and, if possible, concreted.
A large role is given to the base - the frame of the hut. You need to put powerful beams with a cross section of 20/20 cm across the legs. And secure them with anchor bolts and washers. The third support will be a porch with two steps in front of the front door. The floor is lined with edged boards. Walls made of timber are mounted on it. The walls are paved with tow.
The gables of the house will look more natural if they are also made of logs. The settlement of the house lasts about a month. In this case, it is best to tap the logs with a sledgehammer several times to ensure complete settlement.
It is not recommended to make a ceiling; it will reduce the volume of the room. Therefore, roof rafters should have only rafter legs, without bases.

The hut window and door should be made small in accordance with the style of ancient Russian architecture. Door and window frames are made from edged boards 15 centimeters wide.
Making window and door units can be difficult for a non-professional. In this case, to speed up the process, they can be ordered from a sketch workshop.
The roof of the hut should be stylized as antique.
The roof overhangs are made with a margin so that rain does not flow in and wet the walls.
Wooden surfaces must be coated with any light-colored composition that emphasizes the structure of the wood.
The door handle and hinges are overhead and massive.
The hut can be decorated with two or three crafts made of wood and other materials.
Wooden figurines of Baba Yaga herself, the Serpent Gorynych, a cat and an owl are perfect. They can be placed both outside and inside. The photo shows several options for such huts.

DIY Baba Yaga's house from a box

This option is the simplest. Here are some instructions for making Baba Yaga's house from a box:

Take a box of the desired shape.
We cover the base of the hut with white paper.
We paint the surface in the form of logs.
We draw windows and doors, and also glue separately made elements;
You can make the roof yourself or use the corner part from the box, cutting off the excess edges on it. Such a roof can be securely fastened or removed (if you want to place something inside the hut).
Using any of the above methods, we make chicken legs and attach them to the hut.

Both an adult and a child can handle this type of craft.

Option #3. Old Man-Lesovich's House

Old Man-Lesovich's hut

Making such a craft can take a lot of time, up to several days. This is a great opportunity to get even closer to your child! What is needed for such a house? How to make such a composition? Just follow our recommendations.

To work, you will need a cookie or cake package. Decorate it with pieces of old wallpaper, create a background of an autumn forest. Use pine cones, acorns and matches to make the inhabitants of the forest - the Old Man of the Forest, as well as his friend the hedgehog.
Take a kefir box and make a house out of it. Cover the walls with dill sticks (choose large ones) to create the effect of logs. To make stumps under which the hedgehog will live, use branch cuts.
To make a path to the pond, use colored beans and semolina. To create a water effect, use colored paper and make pebbles from plum pits.
Decorate a clearing with a forest with moss, leaves and branches.

We decorate the forest and clearing with pieces of moss

Option number 4. Hut in the clearing

This is a more complex design, and therefore the manufacturing process can take a long time.

Hut in the clearing

For work, prepare:

wire;
scotch;
cardboard box;
pine needles;
chestnuts (several kilograms);
scissors;
dry branches;
fallen leaves of different colors;
glue;
handle;
berries.

Autumn crafts for an exhibition

Having prepared everything you need, start working with your child in order to instill in him curiosity and useful skills.

This toy is easy to assemble

The sequence of actions is as follows. First make a foundation on which the structure will stand. Make a house out of a box, preparing a 40x40 cm square. Also cut out the house elements from cardboard, and then connect them with tape. Then attach to the base.

What kind of house can you make with your own hands?

The new time spent together will delight the child, and he will enthusiastically help in collecting it for a long time.

Where to start making crafts?

First you need to decide on the material from which the craft will be made. When making it with your own hands, you can use different natural materials . The base (house) can be made in the following ways:

in the form of a painted cardboard box
twisting paper tubes into logs and assembling walls from them
assemble from materials taken from nature (straw, sticks and bark are suitable)
knit or sew

Choose any method that you like best. A hut on chicken legs is quite easy to make with your own hands. The most common problem during creation is the construction of the “foundation” . It must be strong and stable to support the weight of the house and have an appropriate shape and design.

The chicken legs on which the decorative house will stand can be made voluminous or flat. The creation of flat legs is carried out by cutting special shapes from cardboard, paper, wood or foam. Volumetric legs , which will look more natural, are made in the following ways:

sculpt using plasticine;
we tie a frame made of rods and sticks;
wrap threads around tubes, wires and sticks;
we use driftwood found in nature;
we make a metal frame , decorating it with satin ribbons;
make a papier-mâché mold;
we make it by modeling, using gypsum of a thick consistency;
we assemble from balls, beads or beads using a wire frame.

Prototype of the hut

The ancient Slavs buried their dead in special houses. They were placed on high, so-called “chicken” stumps, which were smoked with smoke from fires. The house was placed with an opening towards the forest, and not towards the village. Here you have chicken legs and the famous fairy-tale hero’s appeal to the hut, to stand with your back to the forest, and in front of it.

The deceased lay in the house with his feet towards the exit, and Baba Yaga, the image, according to Propp, of the living dead, was also located in her hut. She could not see the newcomer, but she could smell him. Hence the words of the fairy tale “a grandmother is lying, her nose has grown into the ceiling” and her remark when the hut turns to the guest: “I smell the Russian spirit!”

The hero, who found himself in a difficult situation, having exhausted all available ways to solve his problem, walked towards an inaccessible, unknown world. Having turned to a representative of the other world for help or advice, Ivan Tsarevich or another fairy-tale hero had to join him. Therefore, Baba Yaga first offered newcomers to take a steam bath (perform a posthumous ablution), and then fed them food from the dead. If the hero was not afraid and accepted all these “signs of attention,” it was believed that he could count on Baba Yaga, this Russian Charon, a guide in the world of the dead, to help him in his difficult quest.

House with paper logs

Materials:

corrugated cardboard;
ordinary cardboard;
White paper;
glue Moment;
PVA glue.

Operating procedure:

Make a hut frame from corrugated cardboard: two pentagonal walls (together with an attic), a floor, two side walls.
Choose the sizes yourself.
Glue the parts together. Mark the door and window.
Using a pencil, roll the paper into tight tubes. Tape them around the edges to prevent them from unraveling. Some of them will need to be cut to beautifully cover the frame of the house.
Connect everything with Moment glue.
Cut suitable strips from thin light cardboard and paste them over the joints of the parts - corners, edges, slopes of the future hut.
Make a roof out of ordinary cardboard. Cut out a rectangle of suitable size and bend it in the middle.
Make chicken legs. Roll two wide-diameter paper tubes. Glue them to the foundation of the hut - a thick piece of cardboard or other material. Roll up a couple of thinner tubes and insert them into the thick supports.
Make holes in the bottom of the hut. Thread thin tubes into them. And glue the upper edges of the thick ones to the bottom. As a result, the house should be stable.
Make it out of paper and glue 3-fingered paws to the hut.
Attach a cardboard threshold to the door. From it, lower a ladder made of the same cardboard to the ground.

Making a layout:

After the entire diagram is drawn on paper, all that remains is to cut out the future building, bend the lines marked with a blue dotted line and cut the windows with a construction knife. Use a modeling board. It allows you to cut out parts from cardboard and then glue them together much more conveniently. The scheme presented in the photo above is suitable for the production of the simplest houses. A more complex structure will literally have to be made up of several parts. By the way, the layout can also be made to open (so you can see the interior of the house). It is on this principle that children's doll houses are made, which can be purchased in the store.

To make such a layout (photo), it is advisable to use the thickest cardboard you can find. In order for part of the wall to open, an appropriate fastener is used (this can be found in old Soviet-made boxes) or simply a piece of cardboard bent in half. Doors can be made to open in the same way.

Craft hut: master class on making and review of the simplest ideas (95 photos)

Children should be taught from an early age to be creative with their hands - it develops fine motor skills, fosters perseverance, and shapes imagination.

It is best to interest kids in a DIY “hut” craft. You can put fairy tale heroes and cartoon characters in it.

A lot of models have been invented. In this article we will look at the main possible options.

Yaga's home

By inviting your child to make a “Baba Yaga’s hut” craft, you will keep him busy for a long time. After all, during the manufacturing process you can tell interesting stories about it.

Fairy tales about a mischievous and treacherous old woman with magical powers have always been very popular among children.

However, it is not only the heroine who is entertaining. The house where she lives is very colorful.

It stands, according to legend, on real chicken (chicken) legs. He is also an animate object and can carry out various orders.

Making the “Hut on Chicken Legs” craft in some cases will be interesting for adults as well. It has long been believed that this hut is a “door” connecting the world of the living with the world of the dead, and its occupant is the guardian of the border.

Today there are many exhibitions dedicated to this topic. Theatrical productions on such themes are also not uncommon.

Where to start making a house?

First of all, you need to choose the material from which you will make such a fairy-tale house.
As you can see in the photo of the hut crafts, for its manufacture it is appropriate to use:

cardboard;
paper;
natural materials (branches, bark, moss, pebbles, etc.);
textile.

The combined options look unusual. Choose the method that suits you best.

In any case, there is nothing difficult in making homemade products. Even a beginner in needlework can make it.

The greatest difficulties arise during the construction of the foundation, since it must be provided with the appropriate shape, strength and stability.

Chicken legs can be voluminous or flat, wooden or cardboard, plasticine or foam, wire and plaster. The choice depends on your desire.

House on chicken legs out of a box

This is the simplest solution. The assembly sequence is as follows:

Choose a box of the right size.
Cover it with white paper.
Draw the logs.
Mark the windows and door. They can be made using the appliqué technique.
Make a roof from the corner part of a cardboard container. Can be stationary or removable.
Make chicken legs and attach them to the hut.

In a similar way, it is possible to create an “ice hut” craft. You just need to remove the chicken legs and use white and blue paint to draw frosty patterns and icicles.

It is also appropriate to decorate the building with carved paper snowflakes.

Baba Yaga's hut made of paper logs

To create a toy house, ordinary paper can be used. This option is a little more complicated, but it looks very impressive.

The “paper hut” craft is made like this:

Cut the paper into rectangles, the length of which should correspond to the dimensions of the house.
Roll the blanks into tubes. For reliability, coat the joint with glue.
Cut circles for the ends of the prepared tubes. Collect logs.
Fold the walls and frame.
Make a roof from a sheet of paper.
Paint the finished product in the chosen color.

If you choose white, you will get a “winter hut” craft.
Cut out the door and windows, glue them to the appropriate places, draw the details.
If desired, make chicken legs from plasticine and attach them to the house.

Stitched hut

A hut is not necessarily Baba Yaga’s home. You can make a rather cute “Zayushka’s hut” craft with your own hands using multi-colored woven scraps and thread and a needle.

paper and wood options

You can make original and beautiful crafts from natural materials. Children love to take part in this kind of work. They make various decorations, toys and souvenirs, little animals and people. In today's article we will make Baba Yaga's hut with our own hands. We hope that this idea will interest not only children, but also adults who will also want to participate in the process of creating this craft with their children.

For work you will need the following tools and materials:

Colored cardboard;
Stationery glue;
Super glue;
Bark of tree;
Tree branches;
Cones;
Plasticine;
A piece of fabric;
Scissors;
Paper;
Markers;
Threads;
Pine branches;
Cardboard box.

When everything you need is prepared, you can start working.

First, let's take cardboard, which will become the basis for the future craft. Glue the yellowed leaves onto the cardboard. Pay attention to the photo.

Now let's start building a wooden house. To do this, take branches of the same length and thickness and use glue to make a house out of them. The glue must be allowed to dry and set.

Next, you need to cut out the roof from paper. Colored cardboard is also suitable for these purposes. Fold the cardboard in half. In order for the roof to hold, you must first attach the base and then glue the roof onto it. The base in our case was a cardboard box of plasticine.

The roof needs to be decorated. To do this, we will use dried tree bark. We will glue it to the cardboard roof on both sides.

As you know, Baba Yaga's hut is on legs. In order to make them, we will make two holes in the base of the house so that two branches can be firmly fixed in them. To make the hut more stable, take thicker branches.

We will make a stupa from a small log, onto which we will glue Baba Yaga’s cone-torso onto plasticine. We will make a face out of plasticine, tie a scarf on our head, which we will make from a piece of fabric prepared in advance. Let's take thin twigs and make hands from them, also fixing them with plasticine to Baba Yaga's body.

For Baba Yaga you also need to make a broom. Let's take very small branches and tie them together with threads. Then we attach them to the branch-base of the broom. Let's attach it to Baba Yaga's hands with threads.

Now let's start making the stairs. To do this, take two long branches and 4 short ones, which we will fasten together with threads.

For decoration, we will make a Christmas tree, which will be located near the hut. Take small pine branches and tie them together with threads. To fix the Christmas tree, you need to insert a twig into its top and attach plasticine to the base.

Let's make an owl. To do this, take a small chic and turn it upside down. We will make the owl's wings from the leaves, and we will make the eyes and beak from plasticine. We'll put the owl on a branch and decorate it. In our example, physalis flowers are used for decoration.

Now the composition needs to be put together. Let's take our base with leaves and install our hut on plasticine. We cut out a window and a door from colored paper, which we attach with glue. Next to the hut we will install a branch with an owl. Let's attach the ladder. Near the hut we will also install a Christmas tree and a stupa with Baba Yaga.

You can imagine many options for creating Baba Yaga's hut. You can make an applique, a massive craft, or even a whole hut that can easily accommodate a child.

It is very important to take part in creating such crafts with your child, then he will feel family help, love and support. It must also be said that such joint work brings parents and children very close.

It would also be a good idea to simultaneously study fairy tales with Baba Yaga and create similar crafts, then the child will have a better idea of what they read to him or what he saw in cartoons.

As you have already seen, to create such an original and very “live” craft, you did not need to purchase a lot of materials for the work. All that was used were natural materials that can be collected in the garden, local area or park, and threads, scissors and glue are always available at home.

The main thing is the desire to create something with your own hands, a creative mood, good company and quite a bit of free time.

I would like to end this article with a useful video collection in which we will present some more interesting ideas for creating Baba Yaga’s hut. We hope you will like some of the options and want to repeat it with your child. Please take a few minutes of your time to watch the video on this topic.
