Idea 1. Volumetric crafts
We offer the smallest craftsmen to make a simple three-dimensional paper craft in the form of a cat like this.
Materials:
- A4 sheet of paper;
- Scissors;
- Glue.
Instructions:
- Download and print the template (see cat template below) on white or colored paper;

For older kids there is a more difficult task, namely a master class on making a three-dimensional paper craft in the shape of a bird.
Instructions:
Step 1: Download and print the layout diagram (see below). Please note that the file contains a colorless template so you can print it on colored paper.
Step 2. Cut out all the parts exactly along solid lines using a breadboard knife.
Step 3. Fold all the fold lines according to the principle: thick dotted line = fold inward, thin dotted line = fold outward.
Step 4. Glue the parts together, applying glue to their corners (labeled Glue). Follow this order:
- First glue the beak to one side of the bird, then to the second.
- Glue the back of the bird starting from the beak, as shown in the photo.
- Glue the wings.
- Now take the part that is the bird’s breast, and at one end fold it and fix it with glue into a triangle as shown in the photo.
- Assemble the legs, make sure the knees are at 90 degrees, then glue the legs to them.
- Well, that's all, all that remains is to glue the legs to the body and your three-dimensional paper craft is ready. If you wish, you can make a whole flock of these birds in different colors with your own hands.
Idea 2. Wall panels, paintings and applications
It is known that you can draw not only with paints on paper, but also... with paper on paper. Such activities are no less exciting and useful for the development of hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, perseverance, the ability to plan your work, combine colors, shapes and materials.
The following selection of photos presents ideas for paintings, panels and paper applications for children of different levels of complexity.
By the way, the applique can be made from parts of the same shape, but of different sizes and colors. These can be circles or hearts. The following slider presents examples of such paper crafts and schemes for their manufacture.
Here are some more examples of interesting crafts made from different types of paper.
Now we invite you to get acquainted with a master class on making an original, but very easy paper craft. We have no doubt that such cute figures will help instill in your child an interest in reading books.
Materials:
- 1 sheet of A4 colored paper;
- 1 sheet of white A4 paper;
- Scissors;
- Glue stick;
- Markers, pencils and paints.
Instructions:
Step 1. Fold one half of a white A4 sheet in half and let the child draw the cover of his favorite book on it, also signing the title and name of the author.
Step 2. Cut three long strips of colored sheet about 2.5 cm wide. You will have 4 pieces: 2 strips for the legs, 1 strip for the two arms and one rectangle to create the body of the figure.
Step 3. Take two strips (for the legs), fold them like an accordion, and then glue them to the rectangular body.
Step 4. Divide the remaining long strip into two equal parts, draw fingers at the ends and glue to the body.
Step 5. Bend the top of the figure to the front side and give it bangs using scissors as shown in the photo.
Step 6. Cut out circles from the remaining half of the white sheet and glue them onto the figure as if they were glasses.
Step 7. Draw details: eyes, mouth, nose and glasses with a black marker.
Step 8. Now glue the book to the hands of the figurine and finally place it on the table or hang it on the wall, for example, near a bookshelf.
Idea 3. Hats
All children love games with transformations and use everything they can get their hands on to do this. To provide your child with props, you can make fantasy headdresses with him. By the way, such crafts from colored paper can be made for one or more children for a performance, masquerade, themed birthday party or any costume party. In the following selection of photos you can see examples of a wide variety of paper “hats” - from pirate cocked hats to wigs.
Today we invite you and your baby to make a hat in the shape of a dinosaur head. This master class is so simple that a child aged 3 years and older will need very little help from you.
Materials:
- 3 sheets of colored paper;
- Glue stick or PVA;
- Scotch;
- Scissors.
Instructions:
Step 1. Cut 4 strips about 3cm wide along the long side of the paper. Two of these strips will turn into the headband, and the other two will become the crossbars of the “hat”, onto which the dinosaur spikes will be glued.
Step 2: Take the other two sheets of paper and cut them into strips about 5cm wide along the short side of the paper. You can measure and cut the strips by eye, but in the end you should end up with 5 strips from each sheet. We need these blanks to make spikes.
Step 3. Fold each blank for the tenons in half and, stepping back from the fold about 1.5 cm, draw a marking in the form of a triangle with a height up to the very edge (see photo). Next, simply cut out the future thorns.
Step 4. Glue two crossbar strips, and then glue the spikes on them in a row as shown in the photo below.
Step 5: While the glue is drying, size the two pieces of the headband to match the circumference of your baby's head, then tape them together into a circle.
Step 6. Now let's get back to the spikes. Turn the crossbar over so that the tenons are on the table and bend each of them well (see photo). Form the first spike: cover one side with glue and connect it to the other. Use paper clips to hold the tenon in place until the glue dries. Repeat these steps with the remaining spikes.
Step 7: Once the glue has dried, remove the staples from the spikes and simply glue the crossbar to the headband at the front and back.
Idea 4. Toy figures made from toilet paper rolls
Toilet paper rolls make great craft supplies for kids that just need a little embellishment. For example, you can make such wonderful toys from them.
Any interesting and beautiful paper crafts are a cheap and very easy way to keep children occupied for a while. In addition, such paper crafts perfectly develop fine motor skills of children’s hands, teach them to act step by step, select colors and do something with their own hands.
All boys love cars and the more racing cars, cars, trucks and tractors each boy has, the better. Therefore, today we will show you how to make a racing car with your own hands, using cardboard, toilet paper rolls, as well as scissors and felt-tip pens.
The toilet paper roll can be covered with colored paper, or it can be colored with felt-tip pens. Cut a hole approximately in the middle between the two ends of the bushing, this will be the place for our racer.
Try cutting out 4 circles from cardboard, these will be wheels. Color them with a black felt-tip pen. You can also cut out and color a steering wheel circle for our racing car. Glue the wheels and steering wheel to the car, and you can put a little person inside. You can play with such a handmade machine, and if you make a lot of machines, you can arrange fun competitions and other games.

For girls
For girls 7-8 years old, you can make an interesting type of craft from paper - the crown of a real princess. Every girl wants to be a beautiful princess at least a little, so it’s worth giving the baby this opportunity.
Small cardboard tubes are best suited for creating crowns; using toilet paper rolls should work well for this purpose. In addition, craft crowns will need to be decorated with something. To do this, you can use paper of different colors, original beads and much more, everything is limited only by your imagination.
Crowns from toilet paper rolls must be cut out carefully. You can use scissors to cut out a very ordinary crown with pointed peaks, or you can cut a circle at the end of each peak, so the crown will look more interesting. These beautiful crafts will need to be painted in different colors and an elastic band attached to the base of each crown made from toilet paper rolls.
Girls need to decorate such crafts. For children aged 7-8 years, it is important to do everything independently and with their own hands, so show the little ones general decorating schemes, help them, and they will do the rest themselves.

Paper flowers
The most beautiful and lightest paper flowers are made from corrugated paper. Such crafts will greatly delight children 7-8 years old, since with the help of corrugated paper, glue, scissors, stapler, colored paper and satin ribbon, you can make a beautiful decoration for a room or a gift.
So that you can make a lot of beautiful flowers from colored corrugated paper, you can arrange a master class for several children 7-8 years old, so you will show the children patterns for creating flowers with your own hands and you can make not one, but 3-4 crafts.
So, how to make beautiful three-dimensional flowers with your own hands using scissors and corrugated paper:
- Cut 12 circles of the same diameter from corrugated paper.
- Place each cut circle on top of another and stack them in one pile.
- Use a stapler to secure the middle crosswise.
- Now, using scissors, start making cuts along the edges of the circles, be sure to leave room for the middle.
- Cut out a circle from colored paper, which will be our center.
- Now you can fluff the edges of the resulting flowers and attach a satin ribbon to the flower to hang it in the room or on a panel.

Master class with photos
Children make amazing and original crafts in the form of mosaic appliqués from colored paper. It is entirely acceptable to use corrugated paper of different colors for appliqué.
Ask the children to draw on a blank piece of paper the outline of a fish, bunny or flower, which they will make in the form of a mosaic appliqué. Prepare strips of bright, possibly corrugated paper, which we will cut into squares for applique using scissors. Try to cut the squares correctly, only then the appliques made by yourself will be neat and even.
For children, it will be better to choose a glue stick, which can help stick appliques quickly and without problems. Start gluing the applique squares, trying not to go beyond the outline. For children, this task will not be difficult to cope with, and the applications will be cute and neat.
Volumetric crafts
You can make very cute three-dimensional crafts if you get 7-8 year old children interested in the origami technique. For example, you can try to make a three-dimensional modular origami butterfly, it will be very simple and interesting. It can even be folded from corrugated colored paper, and the patterns will be very light and original:
- First we make a module, to do this we fold a piece of paper in half.
- Turn over and fold the leaf in half again.
- After this we bend the corners towards the middle.
- We turn the workpiece over and bend the small corners up, then fold its entire lower edge up.
- We bend it in half again and the module is ready.
To make a butterfly, you need to make a large number of modules that will form the body and wings of the origami butterfly. At the initial stage, you need to correctly form the body of the butterfly from the modules; if everything works out correctly, then you will need to attach wings to the outer modules. In fact, it is not necessary to adhere to the exact assembly scheme; it is quite possible to fantasize and use different original steps to make your origami unique and the cutest.

Animals
Animals are the favorites of absolutely all children, so we will try to make animal appliques using toilet paper rolls. First you need to choose what animal you will make. For example, you can choose a tiger, an elephant or a hippopotamus.
You can print one of the outlines on a piece of paper and cut it out using scissors. Children should be able to make things with their own hands, so let them work with the patterns completely on their own.
After cutting out the animals, bend them in the same way as shown in the picture. Be sure to bend the animal’s head along the dotted lines, so it will rise and be positioned correctly in relation to the body.
Under the body of the animal, after it is bent along the lines, you will need to start gluing toilet paper sleeves. Using a toilet paper tube will help make the animal's body more dense. This makes for very original toys.
To make the toy heavier and not fall from the wind, you can print the image on cardboard, and the toilet paper tube will need to be stuffed with the same toilet paper. You can decorate the toy with a bow made of corrugated paper, which can be easily made from a rectangle folded like an accordion and tied with thread.
As you can see, a wide variety of applications and crafts made from bright, corrugated and even toilet paper will help you keep your child occupied for a long time, and it will cost you mere pennies.
Paper is a popular material for children's creativity. It easily lends itself to the most incredible transformations, thanks to which even the most inexperienced children can make crafts from colored paper with their own hands.
The main thing is to choose a task that is feasible for them.
Thus, for children 3-4 years old, crafts are available that do not require fine skill with scissors, the ability to handle glue especially carefully, and great perseverance.

4. Once you've threaded the string through all the sticks, it's time to add 4 more beads (you can use as many beads as you like).
5. Tie the ends of the thread into a knot and make a loop so that the craft can be hung.
6. Adjust the sticks so that they resemble a spiral staircase.
Enjoy your craft as a gentle breeze blows and it begins to spin and colors sparkle.
