Do-it-yourself traffic light from the box. Step-by-step instruction with photo
Craft from junk material with your own hands "My friend is a traffic light." Master class with step by step photo
Grinko Karina, student of MKOU Kalacheevskaya secondary school No. 6, Kalach, Voronezh region. Materials for work:
- an empty tube of glue stick (or white cardboard);
- glue stick (PVA glue);
- an empty tea box (can be used for toothpaste, cream, etc.);
- scissors, a simple pencil;
- ruler;
- colored sheets (format A 4) - 2 pcs.;
- Sponges for dishes (red, yellow and green).
Progress
1. Take colored sheets. Using a ruler and pencil, measure the sides of the box by drawing a template.
For playing with cars it would be very useful to have such a device as - TRAFFIC LIGHT! With a traffic light, the game will be more fun and interesting.
Let's look at two options, how can make a simple electronic traffic light from improvised materials with their own hands.
For the manufacture of the body needed: a jar of cream, a piece of metal tube (a brake tube from a car), an old felt-tip pen (part of it is put on a leg), pieces of plastic, M2 screws, M6 nuts, a micro-tumbler for 2 positions and 2 directions with fixation in the central position, a connector for connecting the charger to the batteries, a holder for 4 AA batteries (if you use 4 batteries, the microcontroller supply voltage will be approximately 6V !! I am not responsible for the reliability of operation in this case), a piece of the circuit board, MGTF wire and radio components in accordance with the given diagram.
Before flashing the microcontroller, you must turn off the WDT timer. This can be done in the IcProg program (the latest version works under WinXP).
If it will be difficult for you to complete the first version of the circuit on a microcontroller being flashed, then you can make the second simple version of a home-made traffic light on three transistors.
Instead of KT342B transistors, any low-power transistors of imported (S1815 ...) or domestic production (KT315, KT3102 ....) of reverse conductivity are suitable.
LEDs VD1.2 - red, VD3.4 - yellow, VD5.6 - green.
The switching frequency depends on the capacitors C1-3.
Good luck on the roads! Obey the rules of the road!

Programmable circuits are gaining more and more popularity. One programmable chip replaces a bunch of simple logic chips and operational amplifiers. One of these sets is the set ARDUINO.
You can make many different circuits on the ARDUINO board: from simple flashing lights and tweeters to clocks and metal detectors!
There are times when freezer broke down, the temperature rises above the norm, and we don’t even know about it. We don’t look into it as often as we look into a refrigerator, and therefore we don’t notice how food disappears.
How to combine play, learning and creativity? Put a homemade track on a toy track cardboard traffic light. He takes part in the organization of the movement of children's cars, explains the rules of behavior on the road, and the process of its manufacture develops the skill of working with hands.
Traffic lights change each other in strict order: after yellow, green or red lights up, and the prohibiting and allowing signals are located on opposite sides.
Prepare for the master class simple materials to create a craft:
You may also need Printer if you want to print a ready-made traffic light template (you can find it in the job description).
STEP 1. Make a blank for the future traffic light. To do this, mark a sheet of cardboard into 4 parts of equal width. Leave a square at the bottom of the extreme strip and cut off the excess.
STEP 2. Cut round windows at an equal distance with a clerical knife - 3 on each side.
STEP 3. Cut the cardboard along the lines and fold into volumetric figure. On the inside, glue the joints with adhesive tape.
STEP 4. On a black background, stick the squares of colored paper according to the above pattern or print the finished template on the printer. These are traffic signals: their size must correspond to the diameter of the holes in the housing.
STEP 5. Stick the paper on the cardboard, roll it into a tube and glue the edges.
STEP 6. Attach a loop from a strip of cardboard to the cylinder. For her, the child will rotate the tube and change the traffic lights.
STEP 7. Cut out a round cover from cardboard with grooves for the handle and close the traffic light from above.
STEP 8. Roll up a thin tube of cardboard - this will serve as a leg for the traffic light - and glue it to the square base.
Now the craft is ready, and the baby can use it in his role-playing games. For example, the Robocar Poli game set with cars and a whole city in the kit is perfect for these purposes.
Tell your child about the rules of the road with a personal traffic light made of cardboard and colored paper!

The story of the traffic light.
In one small town lived the most ordinary traffic light. He stood on the most ordinary street and the most ordinary inhabitants of the city constantly passed by him. Days and weeks passed by. The seasons changed each other, and the traffic light stood and stood. And he didn’t have days off and even a lunch break. The work at the Traffic Light was not very easy. His only pleasure was watching the pedestrians.From day to day, the Traffic Light watched the townspeople and always considered the behavior of everyone. Most of all, he enjoyed watching children.
Here is the girl Varya with her mother. He is naughty, asks his mother for a toy. I look at her with an angry red eye. Varya stopped crying, looks at me and holds out her hand to her mother. That's good, that's smart! All young children should know that they need to cross the road by taking an adult by the hand.
Vika runs about her business. Runs and does not look around! Stop, Vika!!!
And here comes the boy Egor, probably to school. He has a satchel on his back. Hurry, apparently overslept. I look at him with a red eye, and he stamps his foot with impatience, but stands still. My yellow eye made Yegor turn his head in all directions, I wink at him green. Everyone ran with all his might.
The traffic light looked after adults and children every day. He was upset and happy. Sometimes he was very worried that he could not scream. Very, at times, I wanted to scold negligent pedestrians. And then the thought came to his mind: “Maybe they don’t pay attention to me, because I’m the most ordinary?” The traffic light firmly decided: “I need to change!” How to decorate yourself? Beautiful garlands and light bulbs will distract drivers and passengers. Flags in the wind can close your eyes. And the traffic light decided to turn into a flower. He was very fond of daisies, they grew nearby on the side of the road. It turned out to be a very nice costume! Now everyone who passed or drove by looked at him very carefully. The traffic light was very pleased, there were no more violators on its section of the road.
The inhabitants of the town fell in love with the Traffic Light and always smiled when they looked at it. No one was in a hurry and did not run across, and did not drive through a red light. It's nice when everyone follows the rules of the road!!!
Listen and remember
And always follow them.
The RED light came on
Stop, baby, there's no way.
YELLOW light is on
Get ready says.
And the light is GREEN
Come on, my scientist friend.
Remember traffic rules
Like a multiplication table!

Thank you very much for your attention.
We are waiting for your feedback)))
Crafting a traffic light with your own hands for children can be an excellent opportunity to master the technique of creating mosaics, while unobtrusively repeating the main rules for crossing the roadway.
Mosaic elements can be used various materials: plasticine balls, fragments eggshell, transparent self-adhesive film, dried flower petals or tree leaves. If necessary, they can be easily painted in the desired colors after gluing. But the easiest way to make a do-it-yourself traffic light craft is from paper of suitable shades - green, yellow or orange and red.
The simplest and most visual aid for learning the rules of the road. We make a stick from brown cardboard. Glue it between two sheets of black cardboard. Glue colored circles.
Watch the video on how to make a do-it-yourself traffic light for kindergarten.
Another great traffic light can be made from cardboard boxes. Elongated rectangular boxes are best suited. Cut off the top of the cardboard box.
We paint the box with black paint or wrap it with black paper.
We glue circles on one side of the box to match the color of the traffic light: red, yellow and green.
We will be playing with this traffic light, so we needed to make a handle for it. To do this, we made holes in the sides of the box, and tied a rope to the bottom.
For a traffic light, you can make a stand from a cardboard roll and a box. You will get a very clear guide.
A very interesting “moving” traffic light is obtained from a cardboard roll pasted over with colored paper and black paper.
We paint cardboard roll in black or wrap it in black paper. Glue a yellow, red and green circle on it. We connect two black sheets of paper with a stapler, one of which has three holes.
A very visual aid for studying the rules of the road is a traffic light with moving parts. In inside crafts are placed three colors - red, yellow and green. Double-folded black cardboard is connected with black circles with a movable handle. With the help of a pen, we can cover those colors that are in this moment we don't need.
For example, a traffic light "shows" red.
And so the traffic light "shows" yellow.
A funny traffic light can be made from colored yogurt jars. Jars are glued to thick cardboard. You can make "roofs" of colored paper over jars.
Now the kids will be able to repeat the rules of the road without leaving the boundaries of their own apartment.
See how easy it is to make traffic lights and road signs:
