Tools for work
In addition to forest raw materials, to perform artistic work you will need auxiliary tools, the most commonly used of which are:
- scissors - must have blunt ends for the safety of children;
- an awl or a large needle - a tool made of durable material is welcome, always with a thread passed through the eye;
- a simple pencil - needed for drawing lines or outlines;
- paints – necessary for the design of the intended toy or decor, preferably gouache;
- brushes - softer for painting products, hard - for glue;
- stack - intended for shaping the surface of clay or plasticine in creativity;
- tongs or pliers – used for screwing in wires and hooks;
- transparent varnish – gives the finished product strength and smoothness.
Accessories that are hazardous to children should only be used under adult supervision or assistance.
It is important that the teacher or parent knows the features of working with devices and, as necessary, acquaints the child with them.
In the process of needlework, several methods are used to attach elements to each other:
- Plasticine is the most accessible and easiest way for children to connect parts. In order for it to be inconspicuous on finished products, you will need to choose a color similar to the material being fastened. In addition, using plasticine it is convenient to “revive” animals by blinding them with eyes, nose and paws.
- Transparent glue “Moment” is a durable option for joining elements when working with pine cones. Glue is applied to the parts to be fastened and pressed tightly against each other for a few seconds. This stage of work is recommended to be performed by adults so that the child does not inhale glue fumes.
Crafts made from pine cones are best held together with Moment glue.
- Thin wire - will be needed when making certain types of crafts - baskets of pine cones, New Year's wreath.
Toothpicks are used less often. The material smeared with glue can serve as a fastener for the body and head.

The spirit of the forest in Slavic mythology is the well-known goblin or, as he is also called, the forest man. He is the protector of the forest kingdom - he maintains order and helps animals in trouble. No one knows exactly what a goblin looks like, since it constantly changes its appearance. Most often he is depicted as an old man with a long shaggy beard and matted hair the color of swamp grass. In some ways it is similar to a person, but the grayish skin color and the absence of eyebrows and eyelashes are striking distinctive features. He has large glowing green eyes.
Often the image of a goblin is used as an idea for autumn crafts. A wide variety of materials are used to implement it. In the article you will find several useful workshops on making a figurine of a forest defender.
DIY forester costume for a boy
This is a folk fairy tale character.
He is considered a forest master who knows how to create magic. And although he is very kind by nature, his help is selective. Wanderers with a pure heart have nothing to worry about; this wizard will help them find their lost path and show them berry and mushroom places. Evil people will remain in the forest forever. Festive carnival balls are very loved by children of all ages. A little effort and creativity will help your baby look original and stylish. For many years, the image of Lesovich has been very popular, which is perfect for both babies and older children.
Products made from natural materials
The use of natural materials when creating products with your own hands is always highly appreciated by teachers of educational institutions. It is always more interesting for children to work with such material, because they can collect it themselves in the park or in the forest.
You can make a figurine of a goblin for a kindergarten or school based on any theme of the autumn exhibition.
A simple version of the craft on the theme “Leshy – protector of the forest” can be made from a pine cone. For this you will need:
large fir cone;
dried chestnut peel.
Let's start work.
Take an ash leaf and cut it into narrow strips on both sides. It will serve as the shaggy beard of the future forester.
My first baby forest boy made of plastic. Author's doll by Irina Shaver - Babies
Hello, dear residents and guests of the fairy-tale doll country.
Today I want to show you my first plastic baby. I’ve been wanting to make a little man for a long time, but I wasn’t sure it would turn out well. But, looking at what kind of craftswomen there are on our wonderful..., i.e. On the miraculous site, and on their sweet little kids, I decided: “I was there - I wasn’t!” I’ll sculpt!…” and I sculpted it from what I had)) And I had FIMO Puppen plastic and a great desire. The baby was born mischievous and smiling. It turned out to be 20 cm tall. The body is softly padded from artificial suede, similar to that of reborns - on small hinges. Painted with Jo Sonja acrylic paints and sealed with matte varnish. The polymer eyes became slightly cloudy after baking (although I covered them with cotton wool and foil), so I additionally covered them with varnish and “tears.” I decided not to draw the hairs, but to glue them from silver fox in very small bunches in a circle, and until the glue dried, I distributed them evenly over the head. The “fly agaric” clothes were invented after the baby was put together. Of course, this is my first one and therefore there are some shortcomings that I will take into account in future works (for example, I planned a very small baby, but the proportions turned out to be “mature”). This is what happened, I present it to you for your viewing pleasure. And I look forward to your comments. and this is how we were born)): And here is our “BIRTH CERTIFICATE” Thank you all for visiting us on the page Making dolls with your own hands babiki.ru

Most often, gardeners use the first method, since bryophytes grow rather slowly. Seedlings can be taken directly from the forest, dug up along with a layer of soil. If you are too lazy to look for forest plantings, take a look at any gardening store.
Before planting moss for permanent residence, it must be moistened. The step of planting the pads should range from 20 to 25 cm. After planting, they need to be pressed a little.
To decorate a slope, be sure to secure the pads with pieces of bark or wood chips to protect them from sliding during precipitation.
Reasons for popularity
There is a garden in Japan whose moss is more than six centuries old. More than a hundred species of bryophytes grow on two hectares of land.
Due to the ability of moss to absorb sounds, an atmosphere of peace and tranquility always reigns there. Therefore, meditation is often carried out in this garden.
Mosses adapt well to their environment. They feel equally at home on trees, boulders or bare ground. Typically, these ancient plants form cushions, turfs and curtains.
Of course, not every type of moss can be used to decorate a country garden. But there are enough suitable options to turn the site into a magical fairy-tale corner.
It is also worth noting that all bryophytes are unpretentious in care and long-lived. They do not need feeding or haircut. They are also unpretentious to the level of illumination.
Mosses can easily tolerate temperature changes and have hypoallergenic properties. They are completely safe for human health. In addition, these plants prevent the growth of weeds.

Scope of use
Blooming moss is usually used to give natural stones a mossy appearance. Boulders worked in this way are necessary if you want to create a Japanese garden or rock garden on your site.
The versatility of all bryophytes lies in the possibility of their designing large and small architectural forms. Moss on the wall of a gazebo, residential or utility building serves as a natural protection against negative environmental conditions.
Also, such vegetation gives a touch of antiquity to garden sculptures, vases and fountains located in a shady area. In addition, mosses are used as fencing around the borders of paths, flower beds, and ponds.
What attributes can be used for Lesovich
In the hands of the forest spirit, an unprocessed thick branch instead of a cane and a basket woven from a vine look organic.
A gray beard, a wig made of bast, and unnecessary gloves decorated with leaves and berries will perfectly complement the carnival set And also a canvas shoulder bag where you can put stuffed animal toys.
As you can see, anyone can make a Lesovichka costume with their own hands. You just need to not be lazy and show a little imagination.

Costume base
If the next matinee is just around the corner, don’t rush to go shopping. The Lesovich costume is not that difficult to make yourself. The following elements are usually taken as the basis for the portrait of this fairy-tale hero.
Important! Clothes for Lesovich should be kept in a harmonious combination of brown, yellow and green colors.
What to make the base from
There are many options, here are just a few.
Conduct an audit of your children's wardrobe. A suitable option for the base of the suit would be jeans or trousers of brown color, a shirt or turtleneck of a greenish tint . Things made of gray or beige material, as well as khaki, look good. The look will be completed by finishing the edges of the product with fur or mesh and a regular rope instead of a belt.
Take a simple loose-fitting shirt . In this case, large items that will resemble a light hoodie are perfect, creating the necessary image. The edges of the trouser legs and sleeve cuffs can be unraveled in the form of a fringe.
For a street masquerade, use some panties you have lying around. It’s just great if they have a lot of holes, worn places and patches . It is better to sew a hoodie from dark, light material. The cut will not take much time.
How to sew a hoodie yourself
Important! The sloppy appearance of clothing is the hallmark of Lesovichok’s costume.
To create such an image, large and small pieces of fabrics of different textures, randomly sewn onto a base in the form of bunches or single elements, are suitable.
How to decorate the base to create an image
When creating Lesovichka’s outfit with your own hands, think about decorations that match the image.
Such techniques will become successful decorative elements.
Do bryophytes grow at home?
Due to low air humidity, it is almost impossible to create conditions for normal moss growth in the apartment. In the room he requires constant spraying (every 15 minutes).
Of course, some fans of moss crafts have found a way out by growing it in aquariums. But this is difficult and energy-consuming.
To decorate interiors, it is easier to purchase stabilized moss. It has many advantages over its living counterpart:
Growing moss with your own hands is quite exciting and interesting. It can be used both in landscape design and in man-made art. The main thing is to have desire and developed imagination.
