A 4-5 year old child can make this craft. The main thing is to correctly tell the baby the sequence of actions. It’s even better if you make this craft with him, showing him how to perform each action correctly.

First, prepare circle templates with diameters of 10 cm, 5 cm and 1 cm, colored paper, a white sheet of cardboard and glue.

Paper crafts for middle school children

For middle school children, it will be interesting to make a puppet toy with your own hands. To make one toy you will need:

toilet paper roll;
rope or twine;
two plastic bottle caps;
awl;
scissors;
glue;
wand (control bar);
acrylic paint;
fishing line

To make this craft you need:

Use orange paint to paint the lids and toilet paper rolls.
For the arms and legs, use an awl to make four holes on the sides of the roll.
Make a hole in the center of each lid with an awl.

Cut two small ropes of the same length. Tie a knot at the end of each of them. From the inside of the roll, thread the free ends of the ropes into the hand hole and tie knots at the ends. The handles are ready.

Make the legs in the same way. You just need to cut the ropes straight and thread the ends into the hole in the lids, securing them with a knot.

On a piece of paper you need to draw the head and tail of a fox. If you don’t know how to draw, you can use a template, decorate them with paints and cut them out. After that, glue them to the body roll.

Now all that remains is to tie the fishing line to the legs and head (roll) and secure them to the control bar.

Origami lotus

Children can give this simple and original handmade craft to their mother or grandmother. You can easily do it both at home and at school.

To make a lotus you will need origami paper in green, white and yellow colors. Scissors and strong thread or wire.

Cut out 5 rectangles 7.5x15 cm green and 10 similar rectangles white, as well as 3 rectangles measuring 4x10 cm, yellow.

Let's figure out how to assemble a lotus flower step by step - this wonderful paper craft.

Fold the green rectangle in half along the long side. Unfold the paper and fold the triangles towards the center on one side and the other.

Alternately bend both long sides towards the center.

Do this for 5 green blanks.

Now fold the white rectangle in half along the long side. Turn the curve upside down and bend the triangles as you did in the green rectangle.

Fold the long sides toward the center, then fold them in half. It should look like a boat.

Repeat all steps with the remaining white leaves.

Fold the yellow rectangle in half lengthwise and crosswise again.

Using scissors, cut into narrow strips, but not all the way, so that you get a fringe. These will be the stamens. There will be three such blanks.

The video shows step by step how these fakes are made.

Now you can collect the flower. Fold the green blank in half and alternately put two white blanks on it. We attach a yellow stamen on top. Repeat these steps two more times. As a result, you will receive three sets, each of which consists of a green, two white blanks and stamens.

Assemble the remaining two sets according to the same pattern, but without the stamens. Now assemble the blanks. First take the set with stamens, then without yellow stamens, again with stamens. Place the resulting sets on top of each other, alternating sets with and without stamens. Take the set with yellow stamens first. Tie all these blanks in the middle with thread or wire. Now bend the workpieces to the sides.

Start collecting the flower from the stamens. In those petals where there are stamens, we bend them so that the “tails” look up. Now lift up and spread the white petals one at a time. You will get the first row of petals. Assemble the second row. Lift the remaining petals up one at a time. Complete the third row in the same way as the first and second.

Lift up the last row of petals. And finally, straighten the green leaves. Now your original lotus is ready.

In schools and kindergartens, a lot of time is devoted to the production of paper products. Children of any age love to create with this material.

When creating crafts, imagination is involved; creativity also develops fine motor skills of the fingers. Photos of paper crafts

Unusual paper crafts

You can create DIY paper crafts in the form of souvenir boxes and numbers using a drawn diagram. A lot of paperwork cannot be done without the help of diagrams.

Templates help in creating three-dimensional products; you can use cardboard and multi-colored paper. Original toys, models, models of furniture, etc. can really be fulfilled by a creative person.

Handicraft departments and Internet sites are ready to offer ready-made patterns. Just choose the option you like. And following the instructions, download, print, cut and fold along the dotted lines. Upon completion of work, glue the product.

A variety of toys and animals can be made using ready-made templates.

Simple crafts for little ones

Children from early childhood find interesting crafts made of paper for children. 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 works from 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 design a 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.

Pay attention!

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.

Pay attention!

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.

Pay attention!

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 into right side, the second is the opposite.
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 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 kid.
