Simple crafts for little ones

Children from early childhood find paper crafts for children interesting. It is necessary to skillfully engage them in creativity in order to instill in them a love of creation. Thanks to a variety of crafts, you can decorate a child's room or add to your toy collection.

Cardboard bird

Cut out the shape of a bird along the outline. Draw the beak, feathers and tail.
Cut a square out of colored paper and fold it into an accordion shape.
Make holes and attach wings in it.

If you don’t limit yourself to one bird and make several at once, then by attaching them to a stick, you can decorate the threshold of your child’s room. It will be a feng shui breeze.

It is important not to forget that all work with scissors must be carried out under parental supervision.

Upon completion of the manufacturing process, the child should tidy up all the equipment. This will develop a sense of order in him.

Crafts made from paper and cardboard. Three-dimensional paintings

Flowers can be cut out from white napkins. For work using napkins, white ones with perforations are recommended; they can be easily painted.

Napkins are an easy material to work with, but you need to be careful not to tear them.

Stages of work:

Fold the napkin four times. And secure it in the center using a coupling. Create a circle shape with scissors.
Raise each layer one by one, creating a voluminous flower.
Take green paper and cut out about seven leaves according to the template.
Using a brown piece of paper, cut out a basket. Glue onto red cardboard. It is beautiful to place flowers in a basket.

You can decorate the basket using corrugated paper. The color can be any and it is recommended to do it in two layers. Perhaps using foil for baking.

Unusual paper products: weaving

There are many ways to weave paper crafts; they are distinguished by their originality.

Note!

The most popular option is to weave strips of paper in a checkerboard pattern. A slightly more complicated method is weaving from paper twisted into tubes.

The choice of paper from which it is created gives the product certain properties.

Some options:

Newspaper.
Receipt tape.
Magazine.
Plain paper.

It is quite logical that the denser the material, the easier it is to work with, and the product will be more durable. Working with a glossy magazine will give a unique design.

To work, you need to knock out one type of paper. Because strong paper does not intertwine with thin paper and can injure it.

Note!

Show your imagination and decorate the craft with ribbons and beads.

Master class - paper crafts: paper straws

An entertaining creative process is making straws. When using a glossy magazine, you will get unusual designs, and the dense texture will make the product stronger.

To work you need:

Paper.
Scissors.
Ruler.
A simple pencil.
Knitting needles.
Glue.

Preparation of tubes. We wrap ribbons of arbitrary length and width 0.9 cm around the knitting needle. Glue the edge and take out the knitting needle. Leave two centimeters inside the tube and glue the second edge.

Slowly, take out the knitting needles and wind paper ribbons around them, creating the required length. For a basket, the length of the tube should be a convenient size for weaving.

Note!

Original wicker basket: creation steps

The blanks are prepared and now you need a piece of cardboard, scissors and glue. Cardboard is required to create the bottom of the product. To make it, cut out a couple of cardboard circles.

Weaving:

Glue the created tubes in a circle onto a circle of cardboard. The next circle is glued onto the tubes.
We lift the parts up and secure them with an elastic band.
Glue the end of one tube to the base. Grasping the standing tube from the outside, we insert it inside and intercept the second tube inside.
Step by step, “inside-outside”, weave until the tube runs out.
To add length, you need to place a new vine at the end of the previous one.
To create the shape, you can place a jar of the desired size inside.
We weave to the required height.
The remaining pieces of vine should not be cut; you can secure them inside the product or glue them to a convenient tube.
Frame tapes can be secured with glue to the walls of the product.
We paint the finished basket with acrylic paint, and after drying, apply a second layer.

The wicker basket is complete. Now you can adapt it for small accessories or place an artificial flower in it.

Angel on the Christmas tree

In anticipation of the New Year holidays, I want to decorate my home with unusual elements.

By making your own paper napkins, you can easily solve this issue. And under the supervision of elders, even a five-year-old child can cope with creating an angel.

Instructions on how to make a paper craft:

From two different colors, cut out two 10 by 10 cm squares and bend them into an accordion.
Bend the accordion, counting 3 cm from the end. We bend one part to the right side, the second in the opposite direction.
Glue the bent bend to the bottom of the fan.
To create a head, you should cut out about 5 strips, the width is determined based on the size of the fan's edge.
Place the rest of the paper down.
Glue the halves and the angel is finished.

It turned out to be an excellent decoration for the Christmas tree; you can use a regular clothespin to secure it to the top.

Volumetric snowflake

Volumetric snowflakes look very elegant; you can decorate your apartment for the New Year. To create, you will need glue, scissors and paper.

Step-by-step creation method:

Cut out six squares.
Fold the square in half to form a triangle. Using scissors, cut from the bottom fold to the top corner. The cuts should not intersect; space should be left between them. Make three cuts in the shape of a triangle.
Unfold the sheet and arrange it like a diamond.
Glue the first row of strips together.

Turn over and do the same with subsequent strips.
Fasten all the strips.
Make six parts of a snowflake according to the description.
Fasten the three parts using a coupling.
Glue the finished halves together.

If you place a loop in the middle while working, then when finished you can hang the snowflake.

You can use both white and multi-colored paper, you can combine them.

Children's crafts

A cute craft for little ones “The Universe through the eyes of a child.” Design the starry sky, the moon and whatever your imagination allows. No need to use scissors.

Necessary equipment: glue stick, pieces of colored paper (confetti), dark blue cardboard.

Stages of work:

Use ready-made confetti or use a hole punch to cut out many colored circles.
Using a stencil, apply the month and stars to the cardboard.
Apply adhesive base to the finished figures and sprinkle with the prepared circles.

The finished product can be placed in a frame. To do this, glue New Year's rain along the edge of the picture.
Creating an application is suitable for children of kindergarten age.

Movable toys

Toys of this kind are of great interest to children. Simply by pulling a thread you can create movement of your arms or legs.

And the figures are created very simply; for this you will need: cardboard, buttons, thin wire, strong thread and scissors.

Creation stages:

On the cardboard we draw the legs and tail - moving parts. We put dots at the base.
In place of the points, we make fastenings by threading thread or wire through them. Buttons are suitable as a fastener.
We glue the body and head onto a bamboo stick. You can use tape.
We put fasteners into the holes made on the legs and combine them with the body. Using an elastic band, we tie the paws together, making two holes in each paw so that they are placed very close to each other and the thread is not visible.
By analogy, we fasten the tail with the hind paw.
Tie another thread to the thread located between the paws. It is she who will launch the mechanism.
We decorate with colors to your liking.

Using these instructions you can make bunnies, chanterelles, and bear cubs. And it will be a whole puppet theater that will impress any child.
