Therefore, today I picked up some rather simple handicrafts, with which it is not a shame to go to a school or kindergarten exhibition. Yes, and the baby will be able to repeat it himself, under your strict guidance.

Have you ever cut out snowflakes by folding a piece of paper several times and then cutting out circles and triangles? Most likely yes, and, probably, then they compared which of them turned out to be more beautiful and openwork. So the water craft that I want to offer you to do is just created using this technique.

We make DIY crafts for children from 9 to 11 years old in stages

For older children, nine or eleven years old, I can offer a variant of a simple, beautiful craft. But it requires care and accuracy. This is a beautiful paper ball. They can also decorate a room, or they can be taken to school for a holiday or, based on it, make fruits or vegetables from homework. And it looks very beautiful and unusual.

By the way, it is done without the use of glue, stapler, adhesive tape. All you need is paper and scissors.

We make blanks, as in the photo, they need to be made 12 pieces.

Cut out blanks. You can make them yourself, so there is no special template.

To draw them beautifully, I suggest that you first draw a pentagon with the same sides, and then draw a semicircle with a compass on each side with a diameter equal to the width of the side. Hope I explained clearly. In other words, the step of the leg of the compass will be the same as the width of the side.

Cut straight lines and bend them a little. Now we insert the blanks into each other.

Here is a photo of what the ball looks like in the process.

This is a fairly simple craft, but it requires dexterity and accuracy, so it will be just right for children 9-11 years old. A small child may not be able to cope with this task or tear the workpiece.

By the way, you can take a thicker paper, so the ball will turn out denser.

Corrugated paper cone

Flowers and bouquets of sweets are usually made from corrugated paper, and we will make a cone. Because boys like to make flowers more, but all children can make a spruce branch with cones, regardless of gender.

• scissors
• Thread

1. We take a brown roll and cut off, without unpacking, one edge.

2. Cut the fold to make two strips.

3. We bend the edge by 1 cm along the entire length.

4. Now we wrap the tucks along this edge, as in the photo.

5. We begin to fold this tape into a bump, leaving only the openwork edge on top.

6. The end of the cone can be tied with a rope, then we wrap it with a strip of blue or green corrugated paper.

7. Now we make branches from the green strip. In width, we cut the edge more than the middle.

8. And we turn these stripes into coniferous needles and twist them in length, like a cone.

And here is a detailed video on how to make a bump.

Cardboard crafts for kids 5-6 years old

5. Now we retreat from the fold by 3 mm at the first blank from the bottom to half, and at the second from the top to half.

6. Two such halves of one tree are obtained.

7. Now we transfer these patterns onto cardboard and cut out the trunk already.

8. From colored paper, you need to cut out leaves of different sizes and glue them to the branches.

You can make flowers or juicy fruits and berries.

Paper craft for kids "Dog"

The whole craft is created from just one piece of paper and is done quickly, the child will not have time to get tired. But diligence must be at the highest level in order to bend everything correctly.

White leaf 10*10 cm.

Fold the paper diagonally. This will be the head of our dog. Then we fold again, so we determine the middle.

We wrap the edges, form the ears, we do this in a random order, but so that the tip extends beyond the sheet.

Now we are making a muzzle, for this we bend the lower corner a little.

In advance, cut out two small circles and draw black pupils in them, these will be the eyes. Cut out a pink tongue and a black nose. And glue it all on the muzzle.

origami lotus

Children can give this simple and original DIY craft to their mother or grandmother.

Cut out 5 rectangles 7.5x15 cm in green and 10 of the same rectangles in white, as well as 3 rectangles 4x10 cm in 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 to the center on one side and the other.

Alternately bend both long sides to the center.

Make 5 green blanks in this way.

Now fold the white rectangle in half along the long side. Turn it upside down and fold the triangles as you folded in the green rectangle.

Bend the long sides to the center, then bend in half. Should be a boat.

Repeat all steps with the remaining white leaves.

Fold the yellow rectangle in half lengthwise and again across.

Cut with scissors into narrow strips, but not completely, so that you get a fringe. These will be the stamens. There will be three such blanks.

Now you can collect the flower. The green blank is folded in half and we 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 green, two white blanks and stamens.

Assemble the two remaining sets in the same way, but without stamens. Now assemble the blanks. First take a 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 threads or wire. Now bend the blanks 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 through one. Get the first row of petals. Assemble the second row. The remaining petals also lift up through one. Perform the third row in the same way as the first and second.

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

In its upper part, you need to make a small fringe and fold it so that you get a tree with branches on a square base. Next, straighten the branches and cut out red, orange and yellow leaves from paper. They need to be glued to the branches of the "tree" in order to form its crown.

Now you know what a variety of souvenirs you can make from colored paper with children, and you can organize their useful leisure time.

Summer holidays - it's time to create beauty. Colored paper is an endless field for creativity. So why not decorate the house with colorful paper masterpieces, or maybe you want to make an unexpected surprise for your mom?

I have prepared for you schemes for making products from colored paper for children on any taste: from the most simple to complex and refined.

Summer lawn made of paper

Summer is the sun, flowers, butterflies, bugs and fish, unique beauty around, lightness and airiness in everything. Let's let's make bright summer crafts from colored paper for preschoolers and we will enjoy the beauty of nature not only on the street, but also at home.

You will need: colored paper and cardboard, serpentine, scissors, glue, adhesive tape.

I propose to make colorful fish, a bunny, a cockerel and other children's paper crafts. It's very simple! You can find clues in the pictures. Merry creativity!

Glue a yellow circle of colored paper onto cardboard and cut out along the contour. So the sun will be stronger and more durable. Glue rays of serpentine to the back of the sun (can be replaced with strips of paper). Using tape, glue the sun to the cardboard stick.

Scheme for making fish from colored paper

Cut out the details of the fish according to the template. Make loops from strips of paper and glue the scales to the fish. Stick on the head. Turn the fish over and glue the serpentine tail.

Templates for making a bunny, fish, sun and butterfly

And here's what the finished crafts will look like:

We make a cockerel and a dragonfly from colored paper

To make a cockerel and a dragonfly out of colored paper, first cut out the details of the templates.

Cut the parts into strips in the right places, make loops out of them. Glue to the main parts. The cockerel will need to glue the wing and tail, and the dragonfly - only the wings. When the crafts are ready, glue them to the cardboard base.

Look what wonderful crafts you and I have turned out!

colored paper animals

These crafts will surely appeal to children of primary school age or kindergarten students. "Why?" - You ask. Yes, because making them is easy!

Colored paper toys

Oh, how cute they are! These colored paper toys will delight anyone. Rather, rather, make exclusive crafts and delight loved ones with small gifts!

Glue the large cone along the white line. Make a fringe at the bottom of the cone (cuts along the black lines). Put a small cone on a large one, also cutting along the lines.

Inside the large cone, glue the legs along the white stripes, the head on top, and the arms on the sides. Rounded the antennae on the edge of the table and glued to the bee. That's all!

Paper crow

Print and cut out the template details.

Good girl! Now glue the cone. Cut the template tails along the black lines and glue to the cone. First blue, then red.

Lightly grease the wings with glue at the base and glue to the body. First - burgundy, and then - yellow-red.

Glue the eyes, but only half. This way they will look more realistic. And finally, add bangs and glue the legs, after bending them in the right places.

Sly paper fox

Cut out the necessary parts and start assembling the toy.

Glue the cone, leaving a small hole at the bottom. Glue the nose (from the inside of the cone) and mustache. And now, observing symmetry, glue the eyes, paws and ears to the fox. There is nothing left to do - glue and attach the tail to the bottom of the cone and tie it with a thread to the top of the cone so that it sticks up.
