For a long time to entice the kid some interesting game - a dream of many parents. I can offer you such. And in additives to it the child will learn information which is useful to him in life. And still this game is interesting also to the adult, and he with pleasure will join in it. Besides, it costs absolutely not much. You are intrigued? This game - the home autodrome, the imitation of city streets with all set of houses, roads, shops, intersections, traffic lights, transitions executed by you on any covering and set to it all toy transport available at you and also attracted as pedestrians kukl, baby dolls, ninja turtles and Smeshariki.
It is required to you
- Piece of black, blue or dark gray fabric (it is desirable, sateen, coarse calico, wool) the sizes about the platform for a game in the room of the child (not less than 2 sq.m). The optimum size of 1.5*2.5 m, is possible more (then cloths of fabric should be sewed).
- Fabric can be replaced with a big piece of cardboard that is less convenient for cleaning of the room and storage.
- Acrylic paints (are on sale in stationery).
- Piece of chalk (or soap piece).
- Color paper.
- Toy machines, automobile, cargo, special purpose, buses, motorcycles. It is desirable small (for convenience of placement on roads of your drawn city).
- People (dolls, too small).
Instruction
1. We take a Whatman paper (piece of wall-paper) and we do on it the sketch. Represent a part of the city with roads (one and two-way), sidewalks, intersections, shops, school, a kindergarten, etc. At intersections - ""zebras"" and traffic lights, transitions have to be also in other places of the road. Your task is to teach the kid how to cross the road in different places as cars can behave and as he has to react to their movements. Dream, draw sharp turns, departures from the yards, everything what it is possible to face in the real city. At the same time ""city"" has to be and just the autodrome for a game in machines. Do not encumber it with difficult schemes. For naturalism use the book of traffic regulations and copy schemes of intersections, transitions and signs from there. The sketch can be less, than the present plan, and it is possible, having stuck together wall-paper, to make scale 1:1, it is so easier to plan the scheme. Then on the paper plan cut out holes in junctions of streets and use it as a cliche.
2. When you understood that the scheme on the sketch is optimum, transfer it to fabric, considering scale. Plan the scheme a piece of chalk (the small remnant of a cake of soap perfectly copes with this role). Continue work as acrylic. It is easy to work with acrylic paints, they are not poisonous and quickly dry, are not washed away when washing and do not paint clothes (if necessary are washed away by acetone, kerosene). Use bright, juicy tone for buildings, trees, beds. Draw or cut out from color paper yellow-red-green circles (several sets) for operation of traffic lights. Draw several main road signs, paste them on dense cardboard. As soon as the city scheme is ready, transport and pedestrians are chosen, can start a game training.
3. If machines are not enough or not at all - it does not matter. Draw them and pedestrians on a cardboard piece, cut out, paint. Believe, the imagination of the child is boundless, he will finish drawing in imagination both moving wheels and the living driver driving!
4. It is possible to make ""garage"" of cardboard, having designated parking numbers on ""floor"" and by car. So you accustom the child to skill of communication with figures and to the primitive account if you show figures and ask them to call. For example: ""The Mercedes number 6 car, I ask to get up on your parking place"". It is possible to do bridges, fences, houses in your ""city"" of cardboard. Make a militia staff of cardboard and if the child already rather adult, show actions of the traffic controller at the intersection and response of cars and pedestrians.
