DIY finger puppet theater

If you want to develop your baby’s fine motor skills, speech, thinking and simply be able to lift the mood of the whole family, then turn the room into a temple of art. To do this, you need to know how to make a finger puppet theater with your own hands.

For this you will need:

• felt;
• threads;
• scissors.

As you can see, the characters in the fairy tale “Turnip” are cut out very simply.
Each hero consists of two identical parts. But on one side you need to embroider facial features with threads. You can make them by cutting them out of dark felt and then gluing or sewing them on. Fold 2 character blanks with the wrong sides together, sew along the edge using a machine or with a thread and a needle on your hands.

To make a beard for your grandfather, wrap several rows of thread around your fingers and cut them on one side. Fold these identical threads in half and sew the beard in place.

And here’s what the heroes of the fairy tale “The Ryaba Hen” might be like. Cut out your grandfather's beard and bangs and grandmother's hair from gray felt. It will also help you create a mouse with a long tail. These are the kind of dolls you can sew for a puppet theater. If a baby will wear them, cut them so that they are the size of his fingers. If the performance will be performed for children by adults, then the fabric dolls should be slightly larger.

Check out another interesting idea. This could be a home puppet theater for staging the fairy tale “Turnip”. In kindergarten, it is better to have larger characters so that the whole group can see them from afar. But you can do something like this by taking:

• modeling paste (preferably Jovi, which does not need to be burned; it hardens in air);
• yellow and green paste Jovi Patcolor;
• acrylic paints;
• tassels;
• markers;
• stacks.

1. Let's sculpt the grandfather first. Take a piece of pasta measuring 2x3 cm, roll it into a sausage, and form a cylinder. You should end up with something like a nesting doll with a body and head, and at the bottom there will be a notch for your finger.
2. Separately sculpt the arms and attach them to the body. But outline the facial features, beard, and mustache using a stack.
3. Using the same principle, sculpt the grandmother, granddaughter and animals. Once these characters are dry, paint them with acrylic paints.
4. For the turnip, roll a ball of yellow paste, pull it out a little from the top, insert green plastic tops here, and secure.

When sculpting with paste, you will find that it dries quickly in the air, so periodically wet your fingers with water.

This is how you will get a finger puppet theater; with your own hands, a child will be able to act out the fairy tale “Turnip” or come up with his own plot with some of these characters.

Snowmen made from plastic spoons

What's New Year without funny snowmen? Without these helpers of Santa Claus, the holiday would be boring, especially since children love them so much. Every child probably knows how to make a snowman out of snow, but not everyone knows how to make a funny snowman with their own hands from plastic spoons. This is not at all difficult to do. For this you will need:

• plastic spoons (1 piece per 1 snowman);
• a small plastic cup or clay flower pot (1 piece per 1 snowman);
• felt (you can take fleece) blue or light blue;
• paints (watercolor or gouache - whatever you have);
• colored paper (1 sheet of blue or light blue);
• glue stick;
• glue gun;
• brush;
• gel pen blue or black;
• polystyrene foam or foam rubber (a small piece that fits on the bottom of the cup can also be replaced with cotton wool);
• New Year's tinsel.

The step-by-step instructions are as follows:

1. First, you need to make a stand for a child’s craft - it will be a plastic cup or a clay flower pot (depending on what you find at home). On the outside it needs to be painted over with blue or light blue paint. After painting, leave the pot to dry for a few minutes. If you have a plastic cup, then you need to wrap it in colored paper. To do this, cut a strip of the appropriate length and width, wrap it around the cup and glue the ends with glue.

2. To add brightness and make the craft more fun, you can paint snowflakes on the walls of the cup/pot with white paint. After painting, do not forget to leave the craft so that everything dries thoroughly.

3. During this time, while the paint is drying, prepare a felt hat and scarf for the snowman. For the scarf, cut a strip 1 centimeter wide and 5-6 cm long (so that the scarf can be wrapped around the snowman’s “neck”), and for the hat, cut out either two triangles (then the hat will be in the form of a cone) or two semicircles - in one word , the shape of the headdress for the craft is at your discretion. Cut the ends of the scarf to create something like a fringe. Carefully sew the hat from the blanks. You can also make a pompom for her from New Year's tinsel.

4. Now you can assemble the snowman. The scoop will be his head. Put a scarf on the “neck” (this is the junction of the scoop and the handle): wrap the prepared piece of material several times (two turns will be enough) and secure with a glue gun (if you don’t have one, you can sew the junction with threads)

Place a hat on the “head” of the craft, and to prevent it from flying off, you can also carefully glue it to the scoop. Draw a face using paints and a gel pen

Advice! If you are doing a New Year's craft with your children, then talk about safety precautions while working with a glue gun. Always be there when your child is making something and using a glue gun!

5. Place a piece of foam rubber/foam rubber cut to size into the bottom of the glass or fill the bottom with cotton wool. If you use cotton wool, then you will need to fill the glass fairly tightly to about the middle.

6. Then stick a spoon into the made base, and fill the remaining space with New Year's tinsel. That's all - your craft for the New Year is ready!

DIY table theater

If you want to have a tabletop theater with paper dolls, then enlarge the following image. Print it on a color printer on thick paper. If this is not possible, attach a sheet of thin paper to the screen and transfer the outlines onto it. Then place it on cardboard, draw outlines, and let the child decorate the characters with colored pencils or paints. All that remains is to cut out the images, glue each on the side and glue the top of the head to the head.

And here are some more templates that can be used to easily make theater dolls. With your own hands or by giving the blanks to your child, cut them along the contours and glue them in pairs. If a small rectangular sheet of colored paper is glued on the side, you get a small tube. It should be such that it fits well on your finger. Glue the ears, nose, eyes, front paws to the blank, and you will get a finger puppet theater hero. These characters can be made from the most unexpected materials. See how to turn plastic spoons into stage plays. To make these toys for the puppet theater, take:

• plastic spoons;
• colored paper;
• scissors;
• ready-made plastic eyes;
• glue gun;
• textile;
• narrow tape, scissors.

Next follow these instructions:

1. Using a glue gun, glue the finished eyes to the convex side of the spoon.
2. Turn a piece of fabric tied with a ribbon into a dress. For a male character, just glue a bow tie to his neck.
3. Cut strips of colored fringe paper on one side and glue this hair. They will also be replaced by pieces of colored cotton wool.

That's it, the children's puppet theater at home is ready.
Take a large cardboard box, cover it with colored paper, and turn it over. Make slits in the bottom with a knife, insert spoons here and move the dolls along these holes, like along a path. Other characters are controlled in the same way, to create which you will need:

• ice cream sticks;
• children's magazines;
• glue;
• scissors.

Let the child cut out pictures of people and animals from a magazine or an old book and paste them on sticks. If you want to make another tabletop theater, then milk bottle caps will come into play. Plastic yogurt cups. Glue paper fairy tale characters to the back of these items, and you can play out old stories with them or invent new ones. The background is created from a large sheet of cardboard, which is painted to match the theme.

Peacock

To create you will need:

• Tea spoons
• Circle made of thick cardboard
• Cotton buds
• Acrylic paints
• Glue
• Scissors
• Brushes
• Plastic eyes
• Sponge

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Dip a cotton swab on both sides into blue paint
2. Let the paint dry, and then cut off the ends with cotton wool on both sides.
3. Using a sponge, paint the remaining middle part of 5-10 sticks blue and yellow. It is necessary to create a smooth transition from one color to another.
4. Draw a peacock tail feather pattern on the blades of the device.
5. Using a sponge, paint the handles of the spoons, making a smooth transition.
6. Paint one spoon dark blue and cut off the handle. Glue the eye and beak onto the dried blade.
7. Paint the circle yellow.
8. When all the parts are ready, you can start assembling: first the body from cotton swabs, then glue the tail in the form of spoons, and finish with sticks on the peacock’s head.
9. The product is ready.

Plastic spoons are inexpensive. Products made from them look simple and unusual. In interior design, spoons can be used to decorate a mirror frame. At your dacha, you can put up a huge firebird (you can watch how to make a bird entirely from spoons in training videos).

Using plastic utensils you can create unusual clocks for the kitchen. The main thing is desire and creative impulse. Everything made of plastic is fashionable, modern and unusual. You just have to try and everything will work out. And if it doesn’t work out, the materials are not that expensive. You can try again.

How to make a screen for a puppet theater?

This is an essential attribute of puppet theater. Check out the simplest options:

1. Cover the hole under the table with a cloth, tying its two corners to the top of one and the other leg. The child sits on the floor behind him and leads the characters at the level of the table top - just above it.
2. Take an old curtain or sheet. Gather any of these fabrics onto a rope, tie the ends of the thread on one and the other side of the doorway. Make a rectangular cutout in the center of the top of any of these pieces. It should be at such a height that it is not visible to a child or adult sitting behind the curtain who are playing the role of puppeteers.
3. A tabletop screen is made for the finger theater. The easiest way is to make it from cardboard. Take the box. It needs to be disassembled, covered with wallpaper or colored paper, and 2 sides bent so that a canvas of sufficient size remains in the center. There is a cutout in it through which the puppeteer shows finger toys.

Here's how to make a plywood screen. For it you will need:

• plywood;
• jigsaw;
• fabric or piece of wallpaper;
• glue;
• small door hinges.

Manufacturing instructions:

1. Based on the presented dimensions, cut out 3 blanks from plywood: a central one and 2 side panels. Cover them with fabric.
2. When the canvas is dry, attach the loops to the designated areas so that you can close the puppet theater screen and fold it.

See how to make a screen out of cardboard so you can show performances with mitten, glove, and cane puppets.
It should be such that the puppeteer can fit there freely, standing up to his full height. If the performance is performed by children of different ages, then the tall ones will kneel, placing a pillow under them. In order to make a screen, you will need:

• PVA glue;
• rope or lace;
• carton boxes;
• wallpaper;
• stationery knife;
• awl;
• roulette;
• wide brush;
• long ruler;
• rag.

You can make a screen for a puppet theater with your own hands as follows:

1. The drawing is given for teenagers or adults whose height is 1 m 65 cm. If you are making a screen for children, reduce this figure.
2. To make it durable, make it three-layer. To do this, stick a second one on one large sheet of cardboard, then a third one on the other side. Apply PVA glue with a wide brush. This way you will make the front part - the apron.
3. The side elements are also made in three layers, but the folds, which you then glue to the apron, should consist of one layer.
4. Connect the parts by gluing them. When the glue has dried, sew in these places with a lace, having previously made holes in the fastening points. Attach the top arch in the same way.

All that remains is to cover the screen with wallpaper of a dim color so that it does not distract from the theatrical performance.

We make do-it-yourself glove dolls

These can be seen in a real puppet theater. Dolls put gloves on their hands. By bending your fingers, you can make the fabric character tilt its head and move its arms.

Children's puppet theater will have many characters if you use the proposed template. But it is not necessary to create all the heroes at once. Let's start with two - bunnies and piglets. Having understood how to make such doll gloves, you will be able to sew others, thereby gradually replenishing your theater.

If you then make human dolls, you can make the hairstyle from fabric or thread.

The thickness of the character's neck should be such that the puppeteer inserts his middle and index fingers here to control the hero of the play.

Before sewing puppets for the theater, place a puppeteer's glove on the re-cut pattern to decide whether the base is suitable. If not, then increase or decrease it. You can do without a glove by placing the puppeteer’s hand on the base pattern. Please note that the character will not be static, so you need to add a little on all sides for a loose fit so that the fabric of the action hero does not stretch while controlling him.

So, here's what you need to sew a glove doll:

• faux fur and/or plain fabric;
• tracing paper or transparent paper or cellophane;
• pen;
• scissors;
• threads;
• buttons for eyes.

Enlarge this pattern.
Attach a transparent material (cellophane, paper or tracing paper) to it and redraw it. Cut along the outline. Place the pattern on the fabric folded in half, cut with a 7 mm seam allowance. For a bunny it is better to take gray fabric or white fur, for a pig - pink. If you want to draw facial features, tails, hands, hooves, then do it now, before sewing both halves of each character. Take special fabric paints that do not fade when washed. If there are none, then use watercolor, gouache, but first apply a PVA solution to the fabric, after it dries, paint this place, but use a minimum of water. When the paint is dry, add another layer of PVA on top to secure it. But it is best to embroider the nose and mouth by stretching these areas onto a hoop or sewing blanks of appropriate colors and eye buttons.

Cut out a shirtfront from white fur for the bunny glove doll, sew its triangular part to the front half, and the semicircular part, in the form of a collar, to the back half. The tail is attached to the same reverse side, and white paws with or without pink claws are attached to both parts.

When small parts are sewn on, you can sew both halves of the doll on the inside out using a machine or on the face using your hands. In the latter case, use an over-the-edge seam or take a tape of a matching color and edge the side seam with it.

Other glove dolls, for example, a pig, are also created using this technique.

When the sides are stitched on all sides, hem the bottom. The characters' ears can be stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester. Fill the pig’s nose with any of these materials, only after that sew this “patch” to the head. Applique it on his cheeks, giving them a blooming look. It remains to sew a few yellow threads between the ears, and another glove doll is ready. Now you know how to sew characters for a puppet theater, if you want to see this too, then watch the following stories.

Pedagogical project

"Theater of Plastic Spoons"

Educator:

Project topic: Preparing characters for dramatization of a Russian folk tale

"Teremok" for showing a puppet theater made from disposable plastic spoons.

Project type: children's, short-term

Project participants: teacher, senior children, parents of students.

Relevance of the topic:

The most popular and exciting area in preschool education is theatrical activities. From the point of view of pedagogical attractiveness, we can talk about the versatility, playful nature and social orientation, as well as the correctional capabilities of the theater.

It is theatrical activities that make it possible to solve many pedagogical problems related to the formation of the expressiveness of a child’s speech, intellectual and artistic-aesthetic education. By participating in theatrical games, children become participants in various events from the lives of people, animals, and plants, which gives them the opportunity to better understand the world around them. At the same time, theatrical play instills in the child a sustainable interest in his native culture, literature, and theater.

The educational value of theatrical games is also enormous. Children develop a respectful attitude towards each other. They learn the joy associated with overcoming communication difficulties and self-doubt. Children’s enthusiasm for theatrical play, their inner comfort, relaxedness, easy, non-authoritarian communication between an adult and a child, the “I can’t do it” complex disappears almost immediately - all this surprises and attracts.

Fairy tales serve as the first lesson for children about morality and ethics by which people live. This sets the child up for an optimistic perception of life, develops positive character traits and social behavior skills. Work on the theatricalization of a fairy tale contributes to the development and correction of all mental cognitive processes. Learning the words of a fairy tale helps develop memory, expand vocabulary, automate sound pronunciation, and expressiveness of speech. Thus, work on the theatricalization of fairy tales contributes not only to the replenishment of knowledge and skills, but is a means of developing general gaming skills, speech, personal qualities of the child, and his adequate behavior in various situations.

Goal: to prepare the necessary equipment and material for the staging of the Russian folk tale “Teremok”

Appendix 2.

The importance of theatrical activities for the comprehensive development of a child.

In modern society, the social prestige of intelligence and scientific knowledge has increased. Associated with this is the desire to give children knowledge, teach them to read, write and count, but little attention is paid to the ability to feel, think and create.

In addition, recently children have been fascinated by computers and other newfangled toys, with which parents are trying to replace their peers, protecting the child from troubles, from “bad influences”; adults are also trying to fill the lack of children’s community, help and participation of adults in the development of the child, Without this, full mental and emotional development of the individual is impossible.

The shortest path to a child’s emotional liberation, relief from constriction in learning, feeling and artistic imagination is the path through play, fantasy, and writing.

The solution to these problems is theatrical activity.

The importance of theatrical activities in the development of a child can hardly be overestimated, since theatrical art occupies a special position among other types of arts due to the possibility of a direct emotional impact on a person.

According to researchers (, and others, theatrical activities allow solving many pedagogical problems, especially speech, intellectual, artistic and aesthetic development and education of children; it is an inexhaustible source of development of emotions and feelings, a means of introducing a child to spiritual values, and performs a psychotherapeutic function .

Theatrical activity, being a type of game, is initially synthetic in nature: it is a literary text and the sounding word, the plasticity and actions of the actor, his costume and the visual space of the stage (light, color, music, etc.).

Thus, children's theater allows the teacher to solve problems not only of an executive nature, but also cognitive, social, aesthetic, and speech.

Parent survey “What types of theater do you know?”

Goal: to identify parents’ ideas about types of theater.

What types of theaters do you know?

What types of puppet theater do you know?

Do you think it is possible to make theatrical puppets at home?

Appendix 4.

Types of theater in kindergarten.

Puppet theater is a magical world - one of the greatest models of Man and Humanity. Unlike drama theatre, where live people play instead of puppets, puppet theater is more durable. Its actors are capable of living for many centuries, and any museum doll, guided by the hand of an experienced puppeteer, at any moment is capable of coming to life and playing in front of us the same puppet comedy that was admired by the audience - kings, artisans, nobles, merchants, hired soldiers - and a hundred and two hundred and four hundred years ago.

There are several classifications of puppet theater games for preschool children:

tabletop puppet theater: theater on a flat picture, on circles, magnetic tabletop, cone, toy theater. (The music director tells an excerpt from the fairy tale “Turnip” using a cone theater).

stand theater: flannelgraph, shadow, magnetic stand, stand-book. (The music director tells an excerpt from the fairy tale “The Tale of the Stupid Mouse” using a flannelgraph).

theater on the hand: finger, pictures on the hand, mitten, glove, shadow. (The music director tells the nursery rhyme “Cockerel, cockerel” using a cockerel mitten).

floor dolls: marionettes, cone theater.

living puppet theater: theater with “living puppets”, life-size puppets, human puppets, mask theater, Tanta Moreschi. (The music director recites A. Barto’s poem “I Love My Horse” using a life-size puppet - a girl).

riding dolls: on gapit, on spoons, bibabo, cane. (The music director tells an excerpt from the fairy tale “Zayushkina’s Hut” using a doll on a spoon).

Appendix 5.

Stages of making dolls from wooden spoons.

1. On the outside of the spoon, draw a person’s face or an animal’s muzzle.

2. Decorate with braid, pieces of fur, and ribbons.

3. Sew a skirt out of fabric and put it on a spoon.

4. Tie the skirt tightly at the “neck” of the spoon.

Appendix 6.

Final message from the teacher.

Dear parents! Today you learned about the importance of theatrical activities for the comprehensive development of a child, got acquainted with types of theater that can be used in joint games with children, and also learned how to make dolls from spoons yourself, and tried yourself as an actor.

We hope that all this will help you spend time together in an interesting and beneficial way for your child’s development.

After all, with the help of playing theatrical games together, you can easily and naturally form the correct model of behavior in the modern world, improve the child’s general culture, introduce him to music, fine arts, etiquette rules, rituals, and traditions. Then the love for the theater will not only become a vivid childhood memory, but will also remain a feeling of celebration from the time spent with you in the unusual magical world of the theater.

We wish you good luck!

Theater! How much he means to a child’s heart, how impatiently children look forward to meeting him! The art of puppet theater is folk in nature.

Dolls can do everything or almost everything. They work wonders: they entertain, teach, develop the creative abilities of preschoolers, and correct their behavior. Children are happy to join in the game: answer the dolls’ questions, fulfill their requests, give advice, and transform into one image or another. They laugh and cry along with the dolls, warn them about dangers, and are always ready to help their heroes. How can you make the joy of communicating with them become daily? We need to create a puppet theater in kindergarten and at home! Children are introduced to puppet theater from the 1st junior group. Educators and older preschoolers show small performances to children, using various types of theaters for this purpose: the well-known picture theater (flannelgraph, parsley theater, in which glove puppets are occupied. With great pleasure, children watch the figures moving on a brightly lit screen. The shadow theater is riveting their attention, develops the ability to concentrate. Theater on the table is the simplest and most accessible theater for all ages of children. The torso of the dolls is made in the form of a cone, to which the doll's head and arms are attached.

By the end of the year, children of the 1st junior group, having accumulated some experience, try to independently participate in a puppet show. This desire must be supported, developed and strengthened. A finger theater is suitable for this purpose.

Mitten dolls were born from ordinary knitted mittens. The imagination of teachers and children can turn the most ordinary mittens into animals and people. They are very easy to operate and are intended for very young children.

For children of the 2nd junior group, the simplest and most accessible theater is a puppet theater on a table. You can use different types: “disc” theater, three-dimensional toys made of cylinders and cones, boxes of different heights. Origami theatre, mug theatre, lollipop theatre, kinder theatre, washcloth theatre, magnet theatre. Glove puppets are very mobile and expressive. Glove puppets can be used as funny assistants in kindergarten classes. Bibabo dolls usually operate on a screen behind which the driver is hidden.

In the middle group we move on to more complex theater. We introduce children to theater screens and cane puppets. These dolls are larger than glove dolls (head size can be up to 20 cm). This doll is raised above the screen with the help of a rod inserted inside, which is called a "gapit". Canes are attached to the doll's hands - sticks, which the puppeteer moves. But before staging a play with these dolls, you need to give children the opportunity to play with them. The Spoon Theater, being a simplified version of the performance with the participation of riding puppets, helps children master puppeteering techniques.

My dolls turned out to be very cute, strong and attractive.

Materials:

A set of spoons, cardboard, any fabric, woolen threads, felt or other material, ribbons and eyes.

Preparation method:

Hair. We use wool threads to make pompoms. They are instantly glued with glue to the inside of the spoon. Thread colors can be completely different. For the grandfather doll, we used a ready-made pompom and a dress from a New Year's hat.

Cloth. It’s better, of course, to sew a dress - a felt cone, then you won’t have to hem it. But you can also use other fabrics, preferably dense, to keep their shape.

We sew the cone together and make a cut in the upper part, just below the corner. We insert a spoon into the cut and tie it tightly with a ribbon, maybe with a bow.

Eyes. You can draw eyes on the spoon, stick on ready-made running eyes, or make them.

In my case, it turned out to be such a bright royal family.

Have you ever eavesdropped on children playing? If yes, then you know that children are amazingly artistic creatures. Mom’s and dad’s intonations are easily distinguishable, scenes from everyday life are recognizable... Transformation is a child’s second nature. He tries on different roles and plays them brilliantly. Inspire a young actor to experiment creatively and give him a puppet theater!

As always, we will use available materials, and the little artist himself will participate in the creation of his own theater.

Dolls made from... spoons

Bright and unusual theatrical dolls can be made from disposable spoons in half an hour. By the way, such toys are an ancient tradition; our ancestors painted and even decorated wooden spoons.

You can choose a fairy tale to make a doll set especially for. For example, the fairy tale “Turnip”.

You will need:

Disposable spoons (10-20 pieces); hot gun and glue; scissors; markers; yarn of different colors; accessories (buttons, beads, small parts).

First you need to think through the details for each doll.

For grandfather, for example, you can use gray yarn to make hair, eyebrows and mustaches, a large bead for the nose, dark fabric for clothes. You can simply draw the eyes with a marker or glue store-bought ones.

To make doll hair, wind the threads around two fingers, remove the skein and tie it in the middle with thread of the same color. Cut the loops, trim the ends. Apply hot glue to the back (in this case concave) side of the spoon and glue on a bunch of threads. We also glue on the mustache and nose.

Grandfather has a double body - a second spoon is glued to the base spoon, masking the underside. To do this, drop glue onto the top of the cutting and connect the parts.

Wrap a piece of fabric around the handle of the spoon so that it sits loosely (to add volume to the body). Tie fabric clothing, disguise this place with decorative tape.

To make a hairstyle for your grandmother, you need to wind a thread around your palm, make two bunches, and glue them on the concave side of the spoon on the sides (attachment points are marked with black dots). After the glue has hardened, lift the strands up and tie them in the form of a bun. We wrap long strands around the bun and secure with thread of the same color. (Since the grandmother’s hairstyle is voluminous, the second spoon (the back part) may protrude and lie sloppily.)

A turnip can be made from a spoon and from half a Kinder Surprise box. First you need to cut an oval piece of fabric of such a size that it can easily decorate the front part, and still be enough to overlap the back part and secure it. The fabric is attached from the back (concave) side with hot glue. After all, the turnip head is attached to the spoon.

The turnip may have eyes, a mouth painted with red varnish, and on the top of the turnip’s head there may be a bun decorated with a ribbon.

You can give your granddaughter a more “free” hairstyle, and make the dog’s ears and tongue from the remains of a rubber glove or pieces of fabric.

Cone finger puppets

These dolls are relatively fragile - they cannot be crushed, and their strength is not the same. But cone dolls are very funny and dynamic, because wolves and bears sit right on the tips of children's fingers.

You will need:

Colored paper; PVA glue; scissors.

You can also choose which fairy tale heroes to make. For example, “Teremka”: a mouse, a frog, a hare, a fox, a wolf and a mischievous bear.

Cut a circle with a diameter of 13 cm into 4 equal parts. One of these quarters will be the template for the base of the toy. The rest is a different set of details for each character.

The workpiece must be rolled up and glued.

Glue the remaining parts - ears, eyes, whiskers, paws, tails, etc. to the finished body. You can curl your mustache using a pencil or using a scissor blade.

New Year's crafts

When preparing for the New Year celebration, it is worth showing special imagination. You can make various crafts from plastic spoons for this joyful event:

1. Christmas tree. The easiest way to make it is to use a frame in the form of a cardboard cone. Spoons freed from handles are glued to it, starting from the bottom. Each subsequent row is overlapped. A more complex option is to make several cones with a gradual decrease in their diameter as the height increases. Essentially, a cardboard frame forms a stepped Christmas tree, and spoons glued on top imitate pine needles. Confetti, sparkles, and “rain” will provide decorations for the Christmas tree.
2. Snowmen for kids. A clay pot or plastic glass is used as the base for the craft. It is given a New Year's look (blue color, snowflakes). A snowman's face is drawn on the spoon. A scarf made of a felt strip 1-1.5 cm wide and 4-6 cm long is placed on his “neck”. A hat (triangular or round) is also made from felt. Snowman spoons are installed in a base, inside which pieces of foam plastic or cotton wool (imitation snow) are placed.

On top you can put additional gifts for the child - candy, cookies, and other sweets.

Christmas tree decorations provide a large area for activity. The photo shows Santa Claus for the New Year tree. The face is drawn on the scoop. The handle is carefully wrapped with red ribbon. For convex elements, you can use paper and cardboard.

Using your imagination, patience and a little skill, unusual crafts can be made from disposable plastic spoons. The manufacturing process is not very complicated and is accessible even to children

It is important to choose an idea you like and implement it successfully
