Traditionally, at the beginning of September everyone tells each other about how I spent the summer. Someone writes an essay, someone shares gigabytes of photographs with friends... We suggest drawing or making stories with children that tell better than any words what they remember most about their summer vacation.

... In the summer, my family and I went camping. We cooked food over a fire, admired the stars, spent the night in a tent and even... saw a bear! Don't believe me?
A similar craft will be great postcard for grandparents, will tell about emotions and impressions. The collage technique will help you create original story even for those who are not good at painting: we cut out photographs and fragments of pictures from magazines and paste them on colored paper.

... We also swam and dived to the very bottom of the blue sea with scuba gear. We wanted to see the Little Mermaid, but her friend whispered that there was no one at home and it was better for us to quickly surface before mom and dad started to worry.
This idea is good for an exhibition of children's works. You need large photographs of the child and a separately made scuba diving mask made of paper and transparent film (you can use a file). Next comes absolute, unfettered creativity: we draw undersea world and its inhabitants.

... Of course, we saw the world as beautiful and colorful, because in front of our eyes we had huge sunglasses, where everything that was happening was reflected as in a mirror.
On a separate sheet of paper we draw huge glasses with bright frames. The glass in them is mirrored, so the reflection in them speaks louder than any words. The masterpiece can be accompanied by a cover letter with an essay about how I spent my summer, if the child already knows how to write independently.

This idea will be useful for those who like to craft from natural materials, who like to decorate their home with trophies brought from various travels. Pebbles, caressed by the sea and the sun, will help to depict a happy family on the beach.
Dear readers! Share your stories about summer vacations with the whole family in the comments. It's interesting to see what crafts your Creators and Travelers have made.
Summer means flowers, butterflies, bright blue sky and green grass. This is exactly the picture we will draw today. From this drawing you can make a postcard.
Necessary materials:
- A sheet of white paper;
- Colored pencils in yellow, orange, red, pink, dark green, light green and blue. Pink color can be replaced with purple, then you get a real rainbow;
- Thin black marker;
- A simple pencil (preferably soft 3B);
- Eraser.
At first with a simple pencil mark where the flowers will be located. The lines should be very light, barely noticeable. The shape of the flower fits into an oval. Place the ovals at the bottom of the sheet, under different angles to the edges of the paper and to each other.
In the upper part, make room for the butterfly; use light lines to determine its size and direction of flight.
If you connect the corners of the wings of any butterfly with lines, you get a trapezoid. Therefore, you need to start drawing a butterfly with this figure. Having outlined its contours, divide the trapezoid with a line approximately in the middle. From the corners to the center of the trapezoid, round off the shape of the wings. Label the body and head.
Now draw the flowers. In the middle of each planned oval you need to make smaller ovals.
From these small ovals, draw diverging lines separating the petals.
Round the petals without disturbing the intended shape of the flower.
Use light lines to mark the location of several leaves. They should be located in different directions. First, draw the middle line of the sheet, then two lines from the tip with a corner. Draw the leaves, rounding the lines.
Carefully trace the resulting outlines of flowers, leaves and butterflies with a marker. Try to keep the lines smooth.
Take a blue pencil. Using transparent lines, sketch out the horizon line approximately in the middle of the sheet, as well as the lines of the hills below. Use light strokes to tint the sky. Start tinting from the upper corners of the sheet towards the horizon line, gradually loosening the pressure.
From the horizon line it is also very easy, using loose strokes with a gradual weakening of pressure, indicate the distance with the hills.
Use a yellow pencil to color the butterfly's wings. This should be done in small strokes with even pressure. Do not press the pencil too hard, it is better to cross-hatch in one place several times until you achieve the desired tone.
Paint over the body of the butterfly orange, and use a marker to draw small details: spots and black corners on the wings, eyes and antennae.
Now it's time to do the flowers. Use a yellow pencil to shade out the centers.
Then start tinting the petals. To make the tinting look neat, outline and color each petal separately. The strokes should be small and the pressure on the pencil should be even.
Our drawing shows a red, orange and pink flower. But you can come up with another combination.
Color the leaves this way: one half of the leaf is dark green, and the other half is light green.
Finish the drawing by working out the details with a marker. In the middle of the flowers, apply several dots, draw veins on the leaves.

This summer has been truly strange. I practically haven't left the house, I've been I didn’t see my friends and almost never during the whole summer picked up the guitar. I was busy with other things. It truly captured all my attention, I plunged headlong into my new hobby! I stopped sleeping at night because night is that short period of time when you are truly free and belong only to yourself. Night is a time of magic. And I really did make magic all summer. I drew pictures with a pencil!
When I started drawing, a boundless world of flights of fancy opened up in front of me. A world in which I was both God and king. In which I decided who would bloom and who would wither. Who to rule and who to be ruled by? This is my world, which I myself invented and transferred to paper every night. This is a world in which there are no standards, laws of physics, criminal code or morality. This is the world which I want to see or the world in which I'm afraid to live. These are people who were once dear to me, but also those whom I hated all my life. Drawings are not just art. Drawings are a whole life. And a pencil is a magical tool that transfers all my dreams and fantasies to paper. Giving them life and the right to exist, when some other thoughts disappear forever from my memory - what I draw remains with me forever.
I've been drawing all summer. I discovered this new world and after that my old life seemed boring and meaningless to me. Call me a fanatic? Psycho? So be it. Everyone has his own path. It may be more pleasant for you to live in cages and hear every day through the box that you are free. But it’s more pleasant for me to be a “psycho” who creates his own world, writes his own history. Who decides what will happen tomorrow. And unlike you, I am able to fix my world. After all, all I need for this is an eraser. And you have destroyed your world so much that nothing and no one can save it. And when you meet someone who does not live by the imposed rules, you simply cannot forgive him for it. You can't understand why he's not like everyone else? Why doesn't he walk in the same herd with you? And you start to get angry because you yourself are not capable of it. And I am capable. Because I am an artist. And my world has no boundaries. And your world consists only of them.
All summer I did nothing but draw pictures with a pencil. This is exactly how I spent the summer. And do you know what I'll tell you? It was best summer in my life. Even though I ended up in a mental hospital this summer.
School time is over and on the agenda summer rest children for three long months. According to statistics, every year every second child stays at home during the summer holidays. Each family decides in its own way what he will do while the adults are at work. I wonder how parents in other countries cope with this task?
Summer holidays in schools in different countries
Japanese holidays
In Japan, children study a lot in order to get high paying job. Therefore, Japanese mothers view their children’s holidays as an opportunity to improve the situation in some school subject. Teachers give summer assignments that students complete under the watchful supervision of strict mothers. During the holidays, primary schoolchildren keep summer diaries where they draw hieroglyphs, developing their ability to write and draw.
Holidays in Australia
Actually big island in the world, Australia, children spend their holidays interestingly. Many sporting events are within walking distance, and themed festivals allow children to lead an active lifestyle.
Holidays for French children
In France, parents develop a competitive spirit in their children. Parents use every opportunity to improve their children in some subject. Vacations usually turn into daily training to master knowledge in order to get a high score in exams.
Italian holidays
In freedom-loving Italy, children from an early age are taught to evaluate their own performance. Until adolescence, Italian mothers rather pamper their children than educate them. Children spend their holidays with their families.
America
American children are taught independence. They tend to keep themselves busy. Communication on the Internet and watching television programs are widespread.
Canada
In Canada, schools focus on communication skills. IN educational institutions Students and teachers are constantly being shuffled around. This is how children, from the point of view of psychologists, develop right relationship with others. During the holidays, children usually travel as part of peer groups.
Summer holidays for children in Russia
Our country, with its foundations and attachment to friends, has its pros and cons. Building deep relationships with others, on the one hand, forms the mysterious “Russian soul” with its compassion for people, on the other hand, it can be drawn into destructive relationships with marginalized layers of society. Therefore, various summer health programs that will allow the child to develop his individual abilities can serve as an inoculation against excessive emotionality in our children. Today, such programs are widely represented on the market of services for organizing children's recreation. From summer playgrounds at schools to trips to summer camps both within the country and abroad. This refers to specialized programs that not only organize children’s holidays, but also help the child not to forget during the holidays educational process. For example, language, sports or tourism programs. Children, like adults, need a change of environment and new positive impressions. The only thing parents should take care of in advance is to instill in their child self-care skills.
