How to make sports equipment with your own hands - a velomobile for a child
This vehicle will also help children train their sports skills.
You can make it from an old bicycle, and you can take the wheels from an unnecessary baby stroller. You will also need round and square metal pipes, various fasteners, components and tools.
First, assemble the frame of the velomobile. To do this, you need to cut pipes of a certain length with a grinder, then fold them and connect them using a welding machine. Also provide wheel mounts to secure them. At this stage, weld a small round tube from the bicycle to the front part where the handlebar will be located.
Here's how to make a children's velomobile next, then the sports equipment will be replenished with such a useful thing. Attach a metal tube to the rear wheels on which the chain will be wound.
Then attach the part from the bicycle closer to the steering wheel, then fix the chain holder along with the pedals. You will also borrow these parts from an old bicycle.
Secure the steering column in front. Place the bike guard on so that it covers the chain. Now you can spray paint these metal parts.
Take a suitable chair so that your child can sit comfortably in it. To do this, you can purchase a regular plastic child seat and remove the legs from it. This is the kind of velomobile you will get.
The child will be able to develop his legs and hip joints while riding this sports device. And how much delight there will be!
And such a velomobile is stable, it is suitable even for those children who have not yet learned to ride a bicycle. The same applies to the next car. Such sports equipment for kindergarten and home will become a favorite toy for children.
For such equipment, we took parts that were already in use. Here's what you'll need:
- gear and pedals from a bicycle;
- stroller wheels;
- aluminum pipes;
- aluminum shanks;
- fastenings;
- plywood;
- tools;
- dye.
First you need to assemble the car drive. Various bodies can then be attached to such a chassis, since such a base is universal. This chassis consists of 4 sleepers, which are mounted on 2 rails. All these parts are made of wood. You can also attach a metal bicycle structure with pedals to a strong wooden board. But first you will need to cut this part with a grinder, then use tools and components to fix it here.
Secure the parts with secure bolts. Then fix the wooden planks and components made from these materials on the base, make holes with a drill and insert metal rods here on which the wheels will be attached.
Now secure the front axle beam with the bolt. Don't forget to lubricate it with machine oil so that the parts rotate better. Place this workpiece on the bearing and secure the chain.
To drive the drive wheels, you will need a so-called sprocket. Take pipes made of galvanized or chrome-plated steel. The rear sprocket must be clamped with nuts between two washers on the rod. Wind electrical tape between the tube and the rod.
Attach the instrument panel and steering wheel.
Then you need to decorate the car to make it look like a real one.
Do-it-yourself sports equipment can also be made for very young children who are learning to walk or have just learned to walk. Such children also need to train their arms, legs, and muscular frame. And this playpen will help with this. It will also free up the time of parents who will be doing things while looking after the child.

How to make something out of nothing?
Another simple thread support for the children's fairytale game “Cafe” is a crocheted pizza. There are masters who crochet a wide variety of products, you will even be surprised: from vegetables and fruits to dumplings and ice cream! Each of us, dear women, has knitting threads, right? Here you can remember your knitting skills and create unique attributes!
By the way, salted pasta makes excellent naturalistic baked goods and other products. This is an environmentally friendly material that is easy to work with. From children's dough for role-playing games, you can sculpt various attributes: food, interior items, figurines of animals, people. Flour, salt and water - surely everyone in the house has great toys for next to nothing!
Oh how I love the art of origami! But this is, of course, difficult for preschoolers. If I get inspired, oh well, I’ll surprise the schoolchildren with bright and original cardboard vegetables and fruits. Just a paper masterpiece for the situational role-playing game "Shop". They are bulky, but they look like some kind of space products, their shape is so interesting. There's no need to wonder how to create one - there are plenty of templates online that you can download.

Anyone can create a simple prop from the materials available for the Doctor role-play game: take a computer disk and a hairband. We glue the disk to the frame with hot glue or secure it with plastic clips. It turns out to be a mirror of an ENT doctor. Originally invented, right?
I recommend that craftsmen get a hot glue gun. It’s a useful thing, even kids can use it, of course, under your supervision. But be careful, the glue is very hot and the barrel of the gun is also very hot...

Indeed, we can do everything we need for an interesting social role-playing game ourselves, using available materials.
I really look forward to your integration and experience, we work together to make the children's stay in kindergarten memorable, rewarding and happy! May you and I be remembered with gratitude in our old age.
