Crafts from colored cardboard for children 3. Colorful crafts from colored paper

Often at school and in kindergarten they give the task to children, read to parents, to make crafts on a specified topic, usually for the autumn holiday, federal holidays, such as New Year and. And here the fantasy dance and the competition of skillful parental hands begin, we are trying to remember what we ourselves did in childhood.

But after all, I want the child to also participate in the process and get pleasure and satisfaction from it. Still, creativity is necessary for everyone. 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.

This basket is suitable for kindergarten and in order to keep a small child busy with something.

And today we will make a basket.


We need two blanks, as in the photo. I will give you a template, but you can make them yourself, I will also describe the process below.


1. To make them yourself, you need to take a sheet, make a 16 * 16 cm square out of it.


2. And roll to the middle 4 times.


3. Remember how you made snowflakes as a child. Now cut off a part from the edge in a semicircle.


It turned out to be a flower.


From each edge between the petals, you need to trim a little so that the petals can curl up.

4. We also prepare the leaf. We make the sheet square.


We cut off not a semicircle of a rhinestone, but first we need to make a long pestle.

Expanding.


5. You need a strip of 30 * 2 cm, glue the handle of the basket.


We decorate it with multi-colored flowers, circles, beads or beads.


We bend the edges of the green leaf.


And glue the basket to the leaflet.


You can use this template.


Of course, if the child is small, then you will have to do the preparation yourself, but leave the kid to decorate the basket. He must enjoy this activity.

How to make a clock easy and fast

And many more can remember how, carried away by the game, they remembered the craft only for the coming dream. There is simply no time to stretch the process: the child goes to classes, and you go to work. We need to create something fast, cute and big.

Here is the next version of paper crafts just for this case. It's called "The Clock". Depending on the chosen color and decor, it can be a New Year's clock, an autumn holiday, a birthday decoration, etc. You can continue the list yourself.


We will need:

  • 4 sheets of A4 colored paper
  • 4 circles with numbers
  • Scissors
  • Stripe 20-30 cm long
  • Piece of black colored paper


The basis for the clock is a fan of a sheet folded into an accordion. We start making them.

1. We begin to make an accordion, for this we fold the sheet in half along the long side.


2. Now fold the fold line to the edge again and repeat again.


3. Expand and fold the edge in half to the first fold.


4. And we continue to bend the sheet of paper in this way further until we get an even, beautiful accordion.

We also fold the remaining 3 sheets.


5. We fold each corrugation in half, we found the middle.


6. Now we make a fan, for this we coat the edge with glue and glue both parts.


This is how the preparation should turn out. We form the rest of the fans.


7. Now we collect the clock, for this we glue the fans together.


8. Cut out arrows from black paper.


9. And glue them to the clock.


10. We close the junction with decor, a circle, a snowflake.


11. Glue the numbers.


12. Glue a strip to hang the clock.


That's all the work!

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.

We will need:

  • Corrugated paper: brown and blue (green)
  • 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

So what to do with little kids? After all, they are interested in most cases. I offer two simple crafts. Not everyone still knows how to cut straight along the lines, but they should still like the result. We will make a three-dimensional tree out of cardboard and paper and a simple origami dog.

Cardboard tree

We will need:

  • sheets of paper,
  • cardboard,
  • pen,
  • glue,
  • scissors.

1. Two A4 sheets must be folded together and folded in half vertically.


2. And draw a tree so that part of the trunk is on the fold. Cut out the piece.


3. Fold the tree in half to determine its middle.


4. Now we separate the sheets and get 2 blanks.


We also find the middle of the second tree.

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.


Now the tree needs to be assembled by inserting cardboard blanks into each other's grooves.

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 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.


Did your kids like the dog?

Paper leaflets to school: grade 4 on the theme of autumn

Autumn is usually presented either in the form of colorful leaves or an abundance of fruits and vegetables. We will also recreate it in the form of leaflets. But they will be quite laborious, but very beautiful.

Craft "Autumn leaf"


We will need:

  • Need 5 squares 15*15cm
  • Rectangle 15*5cm
  • Double sided tape
  • Scissors
  • stapler

1. We find a diagonal near the square, folding it in half, and then in half again.


2. We make 3 cuts on this triangle, leaving 3 mm from the fold.


We open the workpiece.


3. We begin to glue the corners into a tube. We make the middle layer with the first layer, use double-sided tape.


4. Turn over and glue the following corners.


5. And glue the remaining two corners, but alternately turning the leaf over.


Here is such a part of the leaf will turn out. We make 4 more such leaves.

6. For the stalk, simply twist the tube from a paper rectangle.


We connect the leaves with the stem, fixing with a stapler.


Watch the video on how to make such leaves.

Craft "Wreath of autumn leaves"

And here we will create a whole composition of autumn leaves, it looks very elegant and self-sufficient!


We need 10 squares 8 * 8 cm. Choose the color of the paper for the colors of autumn.


Let's start making a yellow leaf.

1. We turn it in half, then we turn each side to another half. You will get two large triangles.


2. Turn the leaf over and fold the rest to get two small triangles. As shown in the photo. We make 6 such blanks.


3. Now we fold the next leaflet in half again.


4. We wrap two edges to make two large triangles and leave them.


5. Now we collect the leaflet. We take the first two blanks and one with large triangles, smear the edges and glue it inside the first two blanks, as in the photo. As if we put it inside.


6. Now you need to make a branch. To do this, turn the leaf on the front side and put another leaf under it.


Glue.


7. Turn over to the wrong side and cut the leaf for the branch along the edges of the future leaf. This is to keep everything looking neat.


8. Now we wrap the trimmed edges inward and glue them.


We need at least 8 such leaves.


We spread the circle and glue them on top of each other to get a rounded shape for the wreath.


All leaves must be connected to each other.

Schemes and templates

Most often, crafts are made by kids, so I want to give here a few templates and schemes that can be used in joint creativity.

For example, just circle, attach a blank sheet to the computer, cut it out and let the child decorate.


Or suggest sticking butterflies to a piece of paper, but this is more about applications.


Or make a wreath from such leaves.

Patterns of animals and trees.


Or tell the child that the bell is blue, cut it out and color it.

These are the options for crafts I prepared today to do my homework or decorate an apartment for the holiday.

Applications.

First graders and primary school students, of course, will not be able to make complex crafts. And the teacher should invite them to make easier crafts. For example, you can make cute applications that guys can give to their mothers or grandmothers. There are many options for applications. You should just turn on your imagination and try to do something unusual and cute at the same time. Applications are very easy to make. Just look at what beauty you can create with your own hands.

However, in this case, for decoration, it is worth using additional details that will imitate the eyes and other parts of the animal's face.

And if your child is not yet a first grader, but is just going to school and it is difficult for him to cut out all the parts exactly, then print out a template for him.



Caterpillars can be made from strips of colored paper. To do this, use bright colored paper and create such interesting crafts.

  4. And to make your paper flower even prettier, it should be sprayed with perfume.

Any interesting and beautiful paper crafts are a cheap and very easy way to captivate children for a while. In addition, such paper crafts perfectly develop the fine motor skills of children's hands, teach them to act in stages, 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.

For girls

For girls 7-8 years old, you can make an interesting kind of craft out of paper - the crown of a real princess. Every girl wants to be a beautiful princess at least a little, so you should give the baby such an opportunity.

Small cardboard tubes are best for creating crowns, using toilet paper rolls should be fine 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.

Toilet paper roll crowns must be carefully cut. You can use scissors to cut out the most 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 should be attached to the base of each toilet paper tube crown.

You need to decorate such crafts with the help of girls. For children aged 7-8, it is important to do everything on their own and with their own hands, so show the little ones the general decoration schemes, help them, and they will do the rest.

Paper flowers

The most beautiful and lightest paper flowers are made from corrugated paper. Such crafts will delight children of 7-8 years old very much, since with the help of corrugated paper, glue, scissors, a stapler, colored paper and satin ribbon, you can make a beautiful decoration for a room or a gift.

In order for you to be able to make many beautiful flowers from colored corrugated paper, you can arrange a master class for several children of 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 voluminous flowers with your own hands using scissors and corrugated paper:

  1. Cut out 12 circles of the same diameter from corrugated paper.
  2. Put each cut out circle on top of another and fold them into one pile.
  3. Fix the middle with a stapler criss-cross.
  4. Now, using scissors, start making cuts along the edges of the circles, be sure to leave room for the middle.
  5. Cut out a circle from colored paper, which will be our center.
  6. Now you can fluff the edges of the resulting flowers and attach a satin ribbon to the flower to hang it in a room or on a panel.

Master class with photo

Amazing and original crafts in the form of a mosaic appliqué are obtained from colored paper by children. It is quite acceptable to use corrugated paper of different colors for application.

Ask the children to draw on a blank piece of paper the outline of a fish, a bunny or a flower, which they will make in the form of a mosaic appliqué. Prepare strips of bright, corrugated paper, which we will cut with scissors into squares for application. Try to cut the squares correctly, only then do-it-yourself applications will be neat and even.

For children, it will be better to choose a glue stick, which can help to stick applications quickly and without problems. Start gluing the applique squares, trying not to go beyond the outline. For children, it will not be difficult to cope with such a task, and the applications will be cute and neat.

Volumetric crafts

Very cute voluminous crafts are obtained if children of 7-8 years old are interested in 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, while the schemes will be very light and original:

  1. First we make a module, for this we fold a piece of paper in half.
  2. Turn over and fold the leaf in half again.
  3. After that, we bend the corners to the middle.
  4. turn the workpiece over and bend the small corners up, after it we bend the entire lower edge up.
  5. We bend 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 an 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 wings will need to be attached to the extreme modules. In fact, it is not necessary to adhere to the exact assembly scheme, it is quite possible to fantasize and apply different original steps so that your origami is unique and the cutest.

Animals

Animals are the favorites of absolutely all children, so we will try to make animal applications using toilet paper rolls. First you need to choose which 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 leaf and cut it out with scissors. Children should be able to do everything with their own hands, so let them work with the templates 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 head of the animal 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 the bushings from the toilet paper. Using a toilet paper tube will help make the animal's body tighter. So get 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 filled with the same toilet paper. You can decorate the toy with a corrugated paper bow, which is easy to make 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 busy for a long time, and it will cost you mere pennies.

Any kind of creative activity develops a child's imagination, perception of colors, textures and shapes, contributes to the formation of spatial and figurative thinking in general. Thanks to working with applications, kids learn diligence, patience and perseverance. Application is the simplest and most accessible form of creativity for a child, because kids from the age of 2 can stick cut out figures on cardboard.

Colored paper applications

For most crafts you will need:

  1. Colored paper or cardboard
  2. Scissors
  3. felt-tip pens

For children under 3 years old

  • finger crafts

For such a lamb or dandelion you will need:

  1. Pre-cut blanks of the muzzle, eyes and legs or stems for a dandelion.
  2. White non-toxic paint: watercolor or gouache.

Glue the blanks to the background, mark the borders - the circle of a flower or a lamb. First, you show what needs to be done, and then let the child dip his fingers into the paint and leave prints on paper without going beyond the drawn line.

  • Pompom Stamp Crafts

Another type of crafts that even the smallest can do.

For the manufacture of such crafts are used:

  1. Pompoms as stamps
  2. Paints.

DIY ideas: Christmas tree, Easter eggs, ice cream balls, clouds, tree crown, yellow chickens.

  • Circle caterpillar

First you will need to draw a line on paper - the basis of the future caterpillar, and then put the circles you cut out on this line. After that, remove them and show the child where to glue the mugs.

  • Ice cream

For this ice cream you will need:

  1. office glitter,
  2. Cosmetic cotton pads.

We cut out an ice cream cone from paper or cardboard, paint cotton sponges in yellow, blue and pink colors. The task of the child is to stick a cone and “balls” of ice cream on paper. Sprinkle cotton pads on top with multi-colored sequins, which can be found in any stationery store.

  • Rabbit made of cotton pads and plasticine

Materials:

  1. Plasticine,
  2. Spaghetti on request
  3. Cotton pads - 4 pcs.

You cut one disc in half - these will be the ears, and the second into 4 parts - these are the legs of the rabbit. Spaghetti is used as a mustache, but they can also be made from plasticine. Form balls from plasticine or you can ask the child to make them. Then the kid simply glues the details of the craft on paper, and you make the antennae for the rabbit.

  • Multi-layer applications

At the age of 2-3 years, children especially love multi-layer applications.

Cut out the details, show in what order they need to be glued, and entrust the execution to the baby.

There is a second version of this craft - print a stencil, cut out details from it and paint them with paints.

For them you will need:

  1. Green marker or marker
  2. Cotton discs.

Cut two cotton pads in half - it will be snow, then cut out snowdrop flowers from disks and green leaves from paper. And the child is already gluing the details of the flower onto paper.

For children from 3 to 5 years old

These applications are already more complex, the child will need to cut out simple details on their own and glue them onto paper.

  • Bunny

For it you need:

  1. colored paper for the background,
  2. Green for the grass
  3. Pink or red for ears and nose.

The child cuts out the details according to the template, sticks them on the background and draws a mustache and eyes of a bunny with a felt-tip pen (if there are no blanks).

For the manufacture of ladybugs, we will use paper or cardboard in red and black.

Cut out 4 circles from red paper and 1 oval from black paper. We cut the oval in half, glue its parts onto the background, then glue one red circle, as shown in the image, the ladybug itself, and glue the second circle on top of the fold, which will be the wings. We do the same with the second insect, then draw dots with black markers. Eyes can be made from paper or drawn with a felt-tip pen.

What you need:

Colored paper - dark blue or black for the background, red for apples, brown for the basket and green for the leaves.

Cut out apples from red paper. We cut the brown paper into 3 long strips and 2 a little shorter. From green paper cut out leaves for apples. First, we glue two apples, then 2 short strips on the side - the edges of the basket. Then we glue two strips, one on top of the apples, the other on the bottom. Glue on another apple. And the final touch is a strip from the basket in the middle.

First, cut out an oval, which will be the penguin. Then two black hearts are the wings, one is white, which will be the belly, two orange ones are the paws and one is pink as a decoration.

Now let the kid just gradually glue the details onto the background.

  • Goose from cotton wool and seeds

Goose materials:

  1. cotton wool,
  2. Colored orange napkins or white napkins and orange paint,
  3. Pumpkin seeds.

First, on paper, draw the outline of a goose.

We glue cotton wool along the contour, glue pumpkin seeds on the wing of the goose.

We tear the napkin into small pieces and make lumps out of them. We glue these lumps on the beak and paws of the goose.

Draw eyes with a felt-tip pen or marker.

  • Paper lamb

You can draw such a lamb yourself, cut out the details from cardboard and stick them on a stencil, or print a stencil and color it. Using this method, you can make other animals - a rabbit, a cat, a dog or an elephant.

We draw the outline of a peacock on cardboard with a simple pencil, cut it out.

We cut out several circles from colored paper (their number depends on how magnificent the tail will be), cut each of them into 4 parts.

From one such part we make an accordion, repeat the same with the rest and glue them into a magnificent tail.

  • Cactus

Necessary materials:

Paper: white for the background, green for the cactus, and red for the flowers and thorns.

In order to make such a cactus, you need to cut out: 3 large circles are the largest part of the cactus, which is located below in the image, 12 circles are slightly smaller in diameter and 3 small circles are the upper part of the cactus. We glue one large circle from below, on both sides of it we glue two medium circles on top. From the right middle circle upwards to the left, another middle circle “grows” and already from it upwards to the right - the smallest. When the base of the cactus is ready, we glue the rest of the corresponding size on these circles and bend them in half. We repeat this procedure for the third time and again bend the circles in the middle. We cut small spines from red paper and cut out flowers. Glue all the details on the cactus - and you're done!

  • Apple tree

From green and red paper we cut out about 20 green stripes and 10 red ones. On brown cardboard, draw the outline of a tree, cut it out and paste it on the background. We glue the ends of the strips together to form a circle, and glue it on the “tree trunk”.

  • Snowman

The technique for making a snowman is similar to the previous one: we cut out several long strips from white paper, connect their tips - we get a circle. We connect several such circles together to make a sphere - this is the body of a snowman. We do the same with the head, but for this we use the strips a little shorter. We make a scarf from a red strip and wrap it around the snowman's neck. With a felt-tip pen we draw eyes, a mouth and buttons. To make a carrot nose, cut out 1/4 of the circle as on a stencil and fold it into a cone. For the hat, cut out a circle and cut it like a sun.

  • Bouquet of flowers in quilling technique

At this age, children are already able to create more complex crafts, such as this bouquet.

Quilling is a technique for creating voluminous applications from twisted strips of paper.

To create such an application you will need:

  • 4 green strips of paper for stems
  • 10 shorter ones for leaflets,
  • 1 long pink for a bow,
  • 5 stripes of red, yellow and blue.

First, glue long strips-stems on the background, glue a bow on top. For shorter green strips, we glue the tips, squeeze the resulting circle a little to form an oval out of it - these are flower leaves. We twist the yellow, red and blue stripes to get flower buds and glue them on the craft.

  • Rose from lace doily

This craft looks very beautiful and is extremely easy to perform.

All you need to do is cut off the edge of the lace doily and carefully twist it into a flower, so that you get a rose.

  • Colored paper rose

We draw a spiral on red cardboard, cut a strip along the line and begin to twist it with our fingers until we get a bud.

The flower stem can be made from colored wire.

Cut leaves out of green paper and glue them to the stem. Rose is ready!

  • Fish - chessboard

This application is made without glue. To begin with, on colored paper, draw the outline of a fish, cut it out. We bend the fish in half and start making cuts in the middle. They begin after the head and end before the tail. Next, cut out strips of different colors and different lengths that form a fin.

We push a strip of the same color, for example, orange, in “waves” so that one part is above the incision and the other is below it. Likewise with other stripes. As a result, a “chessboard” pattern should form.

From the age of 3-4, when children begin to master scissors, they can already cut simple objects out of paper and glue them together. Starting from school age, children are already able to do more complex crafts: for example, make applications using the quilling technique or cut out small figures with a lot of details.
