This laying material is a great employment idea for children. It is also ideal that the materials do not have to be bought first, you can easily expand the material when you get new closures as a "packaging shell".
Children also like to sort the different closures. Screw-glass lids, caps, bottle lids and crown caps all feel very different and consist of other materials.
Uses only closures of food packaging or drinks. Cleans all lids well in advance and removes any splint parts or small parts hanging away (hazard of swallowing!). For example, the lids can be stored in a box or bowl.
It is best to use a place set, a carpet flow or a flat tray for laying. Now the children can start to be creative.
Have fun trying it out.
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
Collects different caps, e.g. screw glass lids, crown caps or small bottle lids.
All the lids you use must be clean and dry. They should have no rust spots and only be from food packaging.
You should remove sharp protruding parts beforehand.
For toddlers it is important that the lids cannot be swallowed. (Do not use too small caps!)
Best you use a box with subdivisions, so you have everything in one box compactly together.
Game idea: give a laying order at the beginning if children do not want to be creative on their own.
Pick out a large screw-glass lid, which will be placed centrally on the carpet.
Now crown caps are placed around the lid.
The resulting flower now needs a style. Lays it e.g. from crown cork. Also leaves for the stalk.
Now you can try to remove the large lid in the middle.
There's a flower ready.
Place a flower with crown caps that you put on the other way around.
Place a flower with caps. If you have a lot of them, you can also put monochrome flowers and green leaves and the style.
See for yourself what great flowers emerge.
Also vehicles can be laid well with the lids. The wheels can be laid out of two large screw glass covers. (For children it is often not important whether these look the same!)
Small caps are placed on the left, right and in the middle of both lids.
Further lids result in a large arch laid the body of the vehicle.
The shape is not so important, it's about the "tun"!
The only hint is that the vehicle should be closed.
The frame of the car is almost finished.
If the vehicle is large enough, a window may fit in.
The vehicle is ready.
That's a monster truck, for example.
That's a racing car...
You can also lay houses or towers, churches, castles or the like with the lids.
Here's another example.
Set up snakes.
Place the flower meadow.
Sort the lid.
Collect the lids.
Stay creative and let the children experiment.
