by Astro Ved Online Astrology Consultation

Friendship Day is only weeks away, and all children must be looking forward to it. They must be thinking about how they can surprise their friends and the gifts they should get for their friends.

Though there are plenty of readymade gifts for kids in shops, some kids may want to make their own gifts for their friends. So, here are some interesting Friendship Day gift ideas for your kids.

1. Flower Cards

Things You Need:

· Clay in many colors

· Card paper in many colors

· Sketch pens in many colors

· A tube of glue

· A pair of scissors

How To Make Them

1. Make balls in different colors and sizes by rolling the clay. But they must not be too big.

2. Keep the clay balls on a flat surface. First, press the biggest ball and flatten it. Then take the second biggest ball and place it on the first one. Press this ball hard too. Now take the smallest of the clay balls and keep it on top of the second clay ball. Make it flat.

3. Roll some more clay and make long, thin stems for the flowers. Keep them under the clay flower.

4. Let the clay dry, or you can bake it, too.

5. Fold in half a card paper. Cut out a big rectangle or square from a different color card paper. This cutout piece should be smaller than the main body of the card.

6. Help your kid to stick the cut-out on the front of the main card with glue.

7. Tell your kid to write a message on the Friendship Day card with the sketch pens.

8. When the clay flowers become dry, help your kid to stick them on the card with glue.

2. Butterfly Cards

Things You Need:

· Thick card paper

· Plain chart papers in many colors

· A tube of glue

· A small pack of flower seeds or any other gift

· A pair of scissors

· A pencil

· A pack of sketch pens

How To Make Them:

1. Tell your kid to fold in half the card paper.

2. Help the child to trace out butterfly shapes on the plain chart paper. The size of the butterflies should be smaller than the main card. Tell your kid to draw two butterflies for each card. One should be smaller than the other.

3. Tell your child to cut out the butterflies with the scissors.

4. Ask the child to paste the larger butterfly on the front of the card. Then tell your kid to take the smaller butterfly cut out and fold it in such a way that the butterfly’s body remains erect. The wings look like they are fluttering. Ask your child to keep the smaller butterfly on the larger one and glue the body but not the wings. Now tell the child to open the card and glue the small pack of flower seeds inside.

5. Ask the child to write a friendship day message inside the card.

3. Robot

Things You Need

1.Three empty cold cream containers

2.Four round bottle caps or lids

3. Two small and thin plastic bottles

4. Acrylic color

5. Synthetic gum or glue.

How to Make It

Step 1

Take the 3 empty cold cream containers. Keep the first one on the floor, upside down. Keep the second container over it in such a way that the bases of the containers touch each other. Then invert the third container and keep it over the 2 containers. This is the structure for the robot's head and body.

Step 2

Take the 2 round bottle caps or lids. Attach 1 empty plastic bottle to the center of the lids. This is the robot's hand. The other 2 bottle caps or lids will be used to make the robot's leg.

Step 3

Attach the robot's hand and legs to the figure crafted in step one with glue or synthetic gum. You can place tissue papers on the robot's body if you want. Allow it to dry, and then apply color on it. Your handmade robot is ready!

4. Cards from enamel paints

Things You Need

1. White cartridge paper

2. Red, yellow, and black enamel colors

3. One bowl of clean water

How to Make Them

Take a bowl of clean water. Pour 8 to 10 drops of red, yellow, and black colors into the bowl. Enamel paints are oily, so they won’t mix with the water and will float over it. Blow out of your mouth so that the paint disperses evenly on the water. You can see the colors taking different shapes in the water. Put the piece of cartridge paper on the water for 3-4 seconds. You will find different types of enamel colors on the paper/card. Once it dries, write a message and send the card to your friends. They will love it!
