Having a little free time and unnecessary tires left, you can easily create crafts from car tires for the playground. We will provide you with ready-made ideas, photos and diagrams that clearly show how to cut and make toys and products for children. Typically, in post-Soviet countries, tires are used to fence school and kindergarten areas and courtyard flower beds. We offer several fun craft options that will decorate the play area and delight the kids!
Options for children's crafts from old ones car tires.
Sandboxes
One of the most common and easy to make crafts is a children's sandbox. To create it, you can use either one large tractor tire (convenient for one child under 5 years old) or several tires from a passenger car.
To make a sandbox you will need the following materials:
- Tires (one or more).
- Insulating material.
- Spray cans with waterproof paints desired shades.
- Washed sand.
- Shovel.
It is convenient to make a sandbox for one child from one large tire. To protect from the sun, you can install an umbrella in the center.
Step by step process:
- You need to dig a hole along the diameter of the future sandbox. This will help secure the tire and reduce its height if you are using a large tractor tire.
- At the bottom of the recess you need to lay insulating material. Its use will allow the sand not to mix with the ground, prevent weeds from sprouting and insects from getting into the sand from the ground.
- The tire must be washed and coated with paints for exterior use.
- Next, all that remains is to install the tire in the recess and fill it with sand.
If several small tires are used to create a sandbox, they will first need to be cut with a jigsaw and laid in the chosen shape.
In such a large sandbox-flower it will be convenient for several kids to play.

Swing
Another popular craft, so loved by all kids, is a swing. There are several options for how to do them.
Option 1
To make a hanging swing of this type, you will need reliable support in the form of a structure made of wooden beams or metal frame. The tires must be cut into two parts, painted and tied with a strong cable to the support by two edges.

Option 2
The next version of a hanging swing is more suitable for older children. They are made as simply as possible - a strong rope is attached to the tires, placed horizontally or vertically, using a metal hook and suspended from a support. Usually a strong tree branch acts as a support.
To make a swing, it is important to choose undamaged, durable tires that can easily withstand the load of riding.

Rocking balancer
Another favorite type of swing for children is the balance swing. And the tires are perfect for making them. Typically, balancers are created in the shape of horses, but you should not be limited to any shape or color.

A similar balancing horse is suitable as a toy and decoration for a children's playground, but if you remove wooden base, the horse can be used for riding.

If you attach a steering wheel to the balancer from unnecessary bike, this will make an excellent toy for a child, which will be comfortable to hold on to while riding.

Vehicles
Crafts made in the form of cars, tractors and trucks for the playground will delight the children! Products can be of varying complexity depending on the skills of the craftsman.

Animal and character figurines
Making animal figures and characters is another original idea using tires on the playground. Obviously the kids won't be able to play similar products, but they will organically fit into the exterior of the play area and will definitely cheer up both children and adults.

Arrangement of a sports and playground
Children's sports playground can be made entirely from tires. In addition to the elements already listed ( regular swing and balance beams, sandboxes, figurines) from waste car tires you can make various obstacle courses, transitions, and climbing elements.
- The snail train can serve as a bench or climbing machine for the little ones.
- The walker in the photo below is more complex in design, so it can be used by children school age. Manufacturing is as simple as possible: you need to attach the tire halves to the vertical supports using screws.
- For many elements of the children's playground, the tires do not even have to be cut. It will be enough to securely attach them to metal or wooden supports.
- The next climbing element is created very simply from painted wheels, metal supports and planks.
- You can build a type of exercise machine out of car tires by attaching them one after another using ropes (metal chains) to a wooden support.

Crafts from car tires
The most common type of crafts made from tires are flower beds. In order to do a simple flower bed It is enough to use a small piece of plywood, tires and paint.
We cut out a circle from plywood, its diameter should cover the bottom of the tire, screw it on using self-tapping screws and paint the resulting flowerbed in any color. When the paint is dry, install the flowerbed in Right place and cover it with soil and plant flowers.
Large flower bed in the shape of a flower
Necessary materials:
- Three tires
- Gloves
- Wax pencil (you can use chalk)
- Sharp knife
- Electric jigsaw or grinder
- Galvanized nails
- Paint (one or more colors)
On each tire we draw petals for cutting, if used wax pencil, it will additionally lubricate the incision site. The ends can be made smooth or pointed; use a knife to cut out the contours of the petals.
We cut the resulting blanks into two parts with an electric jigsaw, after which we turn each part inside out. We connect the parts in pairs using galvanized nails, and then assemble the flowerbed together.
You can also use four parts (two tires) for a flower bed. We paint the flowerbed in one or several colors and, after drying, place it on a flat area with the petals facing up. We fill it with soil and plant flowers.
Coffee table and tire ottoman
Materials:
- Plywood
- Tire
- Self-tapping screws
- Rope rope
- Wheels (for version with table)
- Thermo gun
It is necessary to cut two circles from plywood, with a diameter that covers the tire, and secure them to the wheel using self-tapping screws. We wrap the workpiece with rope so that the layers fit tightly to each other, securing it with a heat gun. For the top, we twist the rope in a spiral and secure it with a heat gun.
The ottoman is ready for coffee table Screw the wheels to the bottom. It looks beautiful and unusual, and is also suitable for apartment use; the only drawback can be the weight of the product.
All work must be done with gloves and with extreme caution to protect your hands from cuts. There are a lot of options for crafts for the garden from tires; you can make small fences from them, large flower beds for flowers and seedlings, also made from them garden furniture(tables and chairs), various ottomans on the veranda.
Crafts from old tires for children
It is possible to make a playground with your own hands using tires. From them you can make two types of swings, sandboxes and decorations for the playground.
A large sandbox can be made by analogy with the previous master class with a large flower bed, if you add one or two more tires, you will get a sandbox for the entire yard.
Swing No. 1
Necessary materials:
- Tire
- Self-tapping screws
- Dye
- Old seat belts
We paint the tire and wait for the paint to dry completely. We close the hole inside the tire with seat belts and secure them with self-tapping screws. We tie the tire with chains on both sides (you can use strong ropes and cables). We fix the swing on the tree if suitable place no, you can make a base for a swing from timber.
Swing No. 2
Necessary materials:
- Tire
- Board and timber
- Bulgarian
- Self-tapping screws
- Dye
For the swing you will need a large wheel, cut it in half. We cut out two beams to strengthen the base of the swing, the size of the tire width. We make seats for swings from the board; the board should protrude 40 cm on both sides. We paint all the blanks in the desired color.
After drying, insert the timber into the tire from the side of the cuts and secure it on both sides with self-tapping screws. Afterwards we level the board for the seat and screw it to the reinforcing bars with self-tapping screws. Handles for swings can be made from old ones door handles, cable or rope. From the second part of the tire we make the second swing.
It is easy for creative people to come up with and make useful things from anything. Tires can easily be used to create furniture and much more. Various photos crafts made from tires can be found on the Internet, with their help you can find inspiration and improve crafts, adapt them for yourself, or make the same ones.

Recycling car tires is becoming an integral part of our lives. This is one of the unresolved problems facing humanity. And we also try to solve this problem each in our own way.
Some people make flowerpots out of tires, giving them a second life, others make ottomans; craftsmen even manage to make beautiful flowers. I'm not even talking about sports equipment. But I really liked the idea of creating cars from tires. They look stunning even for adults, but for kids they are simply fantastic.
