We made such wonderful swans together with the kids, having at hand only paper, gouache scissors and glue. Swans can also be white.

Dear colleagues! I want to congratulate you on the past holidays and present to your attention a master class on manufacturing.

In our age, when children's toys are not in short supply, and you can buy everything your heart desires in stores, do-it-yourself children's toys made of paper still do not lose value. And even though such products look somewhat primitive, they have undeniable advantages. Firstly, they are fragile and require careful treatment, to which modern kids are simply not accustomed. Secondly, there is not a single child in the whole world who would find the process of creating a paper toy boring and uninteresting. And thirdly, you probably don’t need to tell your parents that working with paper is extremely useful for the development of the crumbs. In addition, do not forget that the creation of toys is a painstaking process, and requires perseverance, attentiveness and accuracy from the little one.

Actually, that's why we offer kids and adults to devote the next free evening to creating a wide variety of paper toys. It can be animals, dolls, plants, equipment: voluminous and flat, large and small, moving and stationary figures. Depending on the idea, you can use different paper and execution techniques. For example, in recent years, the so-called By the way, we did origami in childhood, without even knowing it. Remember paper boats and airplanes - which of us has not mastered the technique of making such figures at one time. However, now this art has acquired a global scale, and the finished works of real masters amaze with beauty and functionality.

Of course, it is still too early for us to claim the title of origami master, so we will begin to improve our skills with simple crafts.

So, do-it-yourself voluminous paper toys for children - to your attention are several master classes on this topic.

How to make paper toys with your own hands?

Example 1

If your child is missing a pet, try offering an alternative. Funny kittens are easy to make, do not require much time and expensive materials. All you need to make them is a sheet of colored paper, cardboard, scissors, glue.

So let's get started:

Example 2

Not every home collection of toys can boast of a wise owl.

We bring to your attention a simple diagram of how to make a do-it-yourself movable owl toy out of paper and cardboard:

Using the blank, we put the contours of the body and wings of the bird on the cardboard, and cut them out.

Then we cover them with brown paper and dry them.

Glue the details of the head.

Now we take a sheet of yellow cardboard, cut out a detail with pupils from it and with a simple pencil outline the contours of the eyelids and the pupils themselves.

We glue the part of the part where the eyelids are located with paper of the same color as around the eyes.

We attach the wings to the body and make two punctures with an awl.

Next, let's take a look at the fasteners.

Our next task is to set the owl in motion. To do this, we make holes in the upper part of the wings and the lower part of the part with pupils, we stretch the threads through them. Now we stretch one more thread only through the holes in the details with pupils.

We attach the part with the pupils to the ears with an elastic band.

Next, adjusting the length and tension of the threads, we tie them together, we tie a ball to the end.

Now it remains to finish the small details with a felt-tip pen, and we can assume that our moving owl is ready.

Example 3

New Year's toys deserve special attention. They help create a festive atmosphere in the family, have fun and usefully spend leisure time. Try, using a blank and a detailed diagram, to make a beautiful voluminous New Year's paper snowflake toy with your own hands for children. Let's get started:

If you liked the process of creating paper toys, you can use ready-made templates that you just need to print and cut out. And then fold and glue the toy from the finished parts.

Twitch toys have been known since ancient times. These mechanical figures of people or animals, which, thanks to a simple articulated mechanism, have funny jerking arms, legs or paws, have always enjoyed special love among kids.

Initially, jerks were made of wood, in Russia they were called "dancers". Subsequently, the manufacturing technology was greatly simplified due to the use of paper and cardboard. With the advent of color printing, twitch patterns drawn by artists began to be published in magazines, which made it possible for everyone to make colorful toys.

Well, the Internet has made the possibilities for creating a variety of jerks almost limitless. :) I invite you to make together with me a mechanical toy made of cardboard in the form of the famous fairy-tale hero - Puss in Boots, according to ready-made templates. And at the end of the master class, another version of the twitch awaits you - the Monkey.

Master class: cardboard toy "Puss in Boots"

Materials and tools:

- sheets of A4 office paper (for printing templates);
- packaging microcorrugated cardboard (1.5 mm thick) or cardboard for children's creativity;
- a sheet of thick white paper A4;
- standard (clerical) knife;
- scissors;
- awl;
- paracord (4 mm in diameter) or other fasteners;
- kapron thread, narrow ribbon;
- glue stick;
- glue "Moment Crystal";
- double sided tape.

So, we start with the preparation of cardboard parts for the base of the twitch toy.

We print contour templates on office paper. Cut them out with small allowances.

We stick pieces of double-sided tape on the wrong side and glue the templates to the wrong side of the cardboard.

In this case, microcorrugated cardboard with a thickness of 1.5 mm is used. But now I want to draw your attention: the contours of the parts here are quite curly, with small elements, so it can be difficult to cut out of microcorrugated cardboard out of habit. And here you can go two ways:

1. neglect small elements and smooth out the contours when cutting;

2. use thin cardboard (for example, cardboard for children's art; for greater rigidity, you can make 2 layers); the toy in this case will also be quite functional, below you will see an example of such a performance of a twitch.

Next, with an ordinary clerical knife, we cut out the details of the base. We immediately make holes for fasteners. I used a 4mm punch. If a punch is not available, you can cut holes with a knife or awl.

The diameter of the holes may differ from the original, depending on what kind of fasteners you will use.

On thick white paper (on the front side) we print out color templates of Puss in Boots. Cut out.

Alternatively, the cat can be colored with pencils or felt-tip pens along with the child. For this, a special set of templates is provided.

Using a glue stick, glue the colored parts onto the cardboard bases (on the front side of the cardboard).

We fold the paws in pairs (on top of each other). And with an awl we pierce small through holes on the upper edges, as shown in the photo. These holes will be used to control the paws.

For attaching the paws, a white paracord with a diameter of 4 mm is used here. Cut off 4 small pieces (the length is such that you can tie 2 knots).

We tie a tight knot at one end, melt the tip with a lighter. We pass the cord through the holes of the body and paws.

The legs should be under the body.

This is just one of many mounting options. For a movable fastening, you can use, for example, brads, buttons, wire, etc. - whatever you like best. The main thing is to make sure that the limbs of the twitch toy rotate freely in the same plane!

We proceed to the most important stage - the creation of a paw control mechanism. In fact, everything is extremely simple here. It is necessary to tie the paws in pairs with a nylon thread through small holes. With the thread stretched, the limbs should be in the lower position.

And now we tie a long thread (you can fold it in half) or a thin cord to the horizontal threads, both to the top and to the bottom, as shown in the photo.

We tie knots on the paracord from the wrong side of the toy. We check whether the paws rotate freely enough. We melt the ends of the cord.

We cut out 2 circles with a diameter of 2.5 cm from cardboard. If you are using microcorrugated cardboard, make a slit in the middle on the wrong side of one circle and place the end of the thread there.

We glue both circles with Moment Crystal glue.

Alternatively, instead of cardboard circles, you can attach a large bead - for convenience and beauty.

We glue a cardboard circle with a diameter of 3.5 cm to the head from the wrong side on a loop of a narrow ribbon.

The cardboard twitch toy is ready!

Here is such a cheerful and agile puss in boots turned out. The kids will be delighted! :)

A set of templates (contour, color and for coloring) for making a Puss in Boots twitch toy can be purchased at the Kartonkino store:

I already mentioned above that such toys can also be made from thin cardboard for children's creativity. These charming monkeys, created, are made in just such a way.

Please note that the monkey on the right does not use a string to control its paws, but a tail. Rather, the lace is also there, it's just glued between the halves of the tail. A very interesting option, you will agree.

And this is what the underside of the monkey looks like. Everything here is quite traditional.

The paws are attached with the help of brads. It looks very good, and the attachment process itself is easier than with paracord. Do not forget that when using brads, the holes need to be made smaller, it is enough to pierce with an awl.

It is worth noting that the tail on the side was not the best solution - it interferes with the movement of the paw. But there is a choice: if you want - do it with a tail on the side, if you want - from below or without a tail at all (not completely, of course, without a tail, it seems to be in the background and simply did not come into view).

Templates for the monkey toy-twitch can be downloaded here:

By the way, Anya Shidenko has many other interesting patterns for making various products for children, as well as holiday accessories. You can find them by clicking on .

Well, now you know a simple and working way to make a do-it-yourself cardboard twitch toy. By analogy, you can even draw the character you like on your own - some hero of a folk tale or cartoon.

Or use ready-made templates. I have already shown you two variants of the toy. And one more - Kitty - you will find in the 9th issue of the electronic magazine "Masterklassnitsa".

We wish you pleasant creativity, fun and useful games with children!

Yours, Inna Pyshkina and the Kartonkino team.

Instructions for making original Christmas tree decorations and Christmas paper decorations with your own hands. Very easy to make. You will need paper of different colors, scissors, glue for work.
Cut out three circles of the same size but different colors from colored cardboard or thick paper. In the first of them, cut a cross (fig. a), in the second circle, make a horizontal cut in the middle and perpendicular to it two cuts in the direction from the circle to the center of the circle (fig. b), and in the third - four cuts in the form of a cross, also along direction from the circle to the center (fig.c). Pass the circle "c" into the circle "b". In circle "a", bend the corners formed as a result of its incision; you get a square hole. Pass circles “b” and “c” into it, having previously folded them. Then straighten the corners again (Fig. d). Attach a thread to the resulting ball.

Fold a sheet of colored paper in half with the colored side facing out. From the fold line we make parallel cuts at an equal distance from each other (the cuts should end without reaching the edges of the sheet 2 centimeters). We unfold a sheet of paper and fold it into a tube, glue the ends of the sheet. Now, simultaneously from below and from above, we squeeze this tube a little - we get a flashlight.

Draw two identical stars on two sheets of cardboard of different colors.

Make one cut on each star. On one star, the incision should go from the inner corner to the center of the star, on the other, from the outer corner to the center.

1. Prepare a rectangular sheet of paper, fold it in half, leaving 5 mm for gluing (Fig. a, b).
2. Fold the workpiece twice more.
3. On the resulting workpiece, the top and bottom are cut off along an arbitrary line, and cuts are made at an angle from the side of the fold (Fig. c).
4. Having unrolled the workpiece, bend the cut strips through one up (Fig. d). Do this with all cuts.
5. The craft is glued and hung on a thread (Fig. e).
