Practice shows that in order to surprise children, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive toys or materials for creativity. Often enough just to look around and turn on the fantasy.

What you need to make dolls from branches: 1) the branches themselves (we don’t break them off in the spring, but collect the fallen ones), 2) threads for knitting – the thicker, the easier it will be to wrap, 3) adhesive plaster or adhesive tape, 4) felt, ready-made eyes or any other suitable materials – to make a face, 5) ribbons, buttons, etc. decorations. First, we take two branches – ideally, if one of them is in the form of a flyer, this will be our legs.

We wrap the “body” of our doll with multi-colored yarn, this moment can be easily entrusted to children, they really like it. To make the “clothes” hold better, you can pre-lubricate the “arms and legs” with PVA glue. At the end, add any decorations, although you can do without them. Ready!
