I scored scrapbooks from the Magnet and don’t know what to do with them?

Do you often buy in stores of large retail chains? This means that for sure more than once they received along with the check something inedible in a "candy" package. These incentive prizes do not really inspire adults, but children are ready to appreciate the element of the game and the invitation to collect bright trinkets. My child did not stand aside - food packages are now inspected not for the presence of sweets, but in search of “scrapbooks”. I decided to conduct a survey in a children's party - to find out from my Arina and her friends how to use scrapers from Magnit and, in the end, why they are needed in such quantities. And then she also talked with her fellow parents - maybe they know how to use this disgrace on the farm.

Just to be

Christina, 5 years old:

- I want to collect all the scraps, but I often come across the same ones. Therefore, in the kindergarten we are changing. I miss the unicorn and that frozen, with snowflakes. Misha has a unicorn, but he doesn’t want to change. Offers a gray sneak instead, but I have two.

“The first appointment - a stylish bracelet”

Milan, 6 years old:

- If there are many braces, then you can make all kinds of things out of them. For example, I already made myself a bracelet and Melissa collar. Melissa is our cat. And you can also make a belt for jeans or a garland.

Pendant, keychain, decoration

Masha, 5 years old:

- They can be attached to something! Look - I'm wearing a backpack. And I also have a clipped keychain. True, it’s already worn off, see? You can still lock it in a loop - and there will be a pendant to be worn around the neck.

Hair accessory

Lena, 4 years old:

- I ask mom to do ponytails with robusts. Here I have pink, and here green. It turns out beautifully.

Note to mothers: it’s easier to first tie the tail with a regular rubber band, and attach a strap on top of it. If you fix it on an elastic band and try to collect hair with it, they will stick to the silicone from which the scrap is made.

Instead of a pencil case

Julia, 6 years old:

- And my dad tied my pencils together with a rope so that I would not scatter them. Then my mom and I barely took it off!

It was the top 5 options from children. Now listen to the parents. So, how can you use strongies (bondages) if you celebrated your 10 years in the era of “Enchanted” and “Xena - the Queen of Warriors”?

Headphones and wires

It seems that this is the basic function of the scrapbook - to fasten the earplugs so as not to get confused. Or, for example, rewind and fasten part of a too long wire so that it does not “jam” with the wheel of an office chair.

A bunch - it’s useful in the household

If you have straps, a bag with bags will always look stylish and elegant! Roll up the bag brought from the same “Magnet” and fasten it with this rubber misunderstanding. Now he will not turn around and will take up much less space. Profit!

But seriously, a skrepysh is suitable for anything that I would like to collect in a bundle and leave it in this form for a long time. Arishka and I gathered for a walk a bouquet of autumn leaves and herbs - the ubiquitous scrapie was very welcome. Or, as Yulin’s dad already suggested, you can fasten several pencils and pens.

The other day, I can say, I went to a new level of zen - I adapted the straps for storing children's socks. Just fasten them in pairs so as not to get lost. The idea is so-so: Arisha that evening stole from the dresser all full-time towers for her children's needs, and the box with socks remained in exemplary chaos.

So that your hands do not get dirty

An interesting option was suggested by her husband's sister - she is 16, and she is engaged in drawing. When working with soft material (pastel, sanguine, charcoal), he hooks a couple of scrapes on the stick so as not to get his hands dirty.

We also adopted this method. In our nursery there is a mini-board on which you can draw with chalk. So, if you stick 2-3 crayons on the crayons, the kids do not leave white prints on all dark surfaces in the house.

Christmas decorations

If you have a small artificial Christmas tree, then you know that finding the right-sized Christmas tree decorations is not so easy. This is where the scrapers will feel needed! You can hang them individually, or you can make a whole garland. Just keep your collection safe until winter.

Prizes in the game

A severe option was invented by our neighbor Semyon. He has three children - 6-year-old Akim and 5-year-old twins Yura and Sasha.

Games for boys Semyon starts only competitive and "socially useful." For example, who will assemble their toys faster or who will make the bed more accurately. So that motivation does not melt from day to day, prizes are given to participants of the competition by bindings. For the first place - Krutysh, the second place - Oblomysh, the third place - Kakashich. Yes, yes, did you know that every scrapie has an official name?

You can argue for a long time about the pedagogical skills of Semyon, but the scheme is working. Strengths can be used in games - for example, as chips or all the same prizes (I would still exclude Kakashich from the prize pool).

Security Watch

The last clue is for those with very young children. So much so that they are ready to play with dangerous objects, but are not yet able to independently open the skrepysh.

I propose to fasten the scissors so that they cannot be opened. For this purpose, it is worth choosing some unsightly krepyshka (for example, that gray zombie whom children call Sopelka). True, it’s better all the same scissors and everything that you can prick or cut yourself, remove as far as possible from the kids. Just in case.

Here they are, these ratchets. Or, as many call them, strong men. To use them in the household is a dubious idea (they are not very convenient, the picture is quickly erased from them). But now the children know what to do with the strangest, in our opinion, trinkets. Remember: your kids are not just fooling around. When playing, they develop. Therefore, a box with bright rubber nonsense is a complete didactic allowance.
