It is known that the best way for children to learn is through play. In a playful way, with children of different ages, they master new skills and knowledge, instill in them certain habits, and develop abilities and abilities.
The creation of interesting gloves will help teach the skills of such a complex activity as massage, which has a positive effect on the entire body as a whole and its departments. With their help, the child will be able to give a light massage to himself and his parents at any time.
What you will need
Massage gloves are often used by kindergarten teachers with children. Thus, they instill in preschoolers the skills of handling sewing accessories, develop creative abilities and stimulate the imagination.
Children who, due to age or other circumstances, do not attend the institution, can also learn how to make gloves for self-massage with the help of parents, grandmothers or older brothers and sisters outside the kindergarten.
To make a glove for play massage you will need the following materials:
A pair of children's gloves.Ordinary demi-season gloves, which should be the size of the child, will come in handy.
Terry fabric. For those who want to make massage mittens themselves, you can use an old bath towel.
Buttons, beads. Large and small buttons of different shapes and beads can be used as the main massage elements.
Important! Since buttons and beads will be used for massage, you need to choose those elements that cannot injure the baby’s delicate skin. It is best to use buttons with smooth and oval edges.
Sewing supplies. Needles, threads of different colors and a thimble will be needed to sew on the massage elements.
Glue. To work, you need to use ordinary PVA, which is harmless to children.
Important! Kids who do not yet know how to handle a thread and a needle can watch their parents sew a mitten or glove. Older children who can handle a needle on their own should still do so under adult supervision.
Instructions
Let's consider two options for creating mittens for massage. The first is the simplest, when buttons or beads are sewn or glued onto a ready-made glove or mitten. The second is when you sew the mitten yourself.
For ease of work, a ready-made mitten can be put on a mock-up cut out of cardboard. This will make it easier to sew the buttons to the fabric. The prepared buttons and beads are sewn on by the child in a free order or according to a pattern invented in advance. The drawing can be anything, you can create it yourself or look it up on the Internet.
Important! For very young children who do not yet know how to handle a needle, but want to take a direct part in the process, sharp instruments need to be replaced with glue.To do this, parents need to put PVA dots on the fabric and then the child himself will arrange the buttons or beads in the order he needs.
For those who want to sew a mitten themselves, you need to cut two identical semi-oval pieces from a terry towel. They can be cut using a pre-prepared pattern or without it. The elements are sewn together from the wrong side, and beads and buttons are sewn or glued to the front side.
Advice! To prevent the homemade mitten from flying off the handle, you can sew an elastic band or strings onto it for tightening.
How to use
The finished mitten or glove can be immediately used for massage. You can use it to stroke your arms, legs, back or tummy. Make patting movements, stroking. During the massage, movements can be accompanied by various fairy tales, nursery rhymes or rhymes.
This mitten, made in kindergarten, can be brought home and massaged to family members. You can tell about a mitten - a massager made at home - at school or kindergarten, getting your classmates or classmates interested in the process and method of sewing.
