After all, once you start, it’s already difficult to tear yourself away from this activity. Now there are a lot of different templates for paper crafts; all you need is a printer to print them. It should be noted that cutting and gluing three-dimensional parts from paper develops spatial thinking and fine motor skills of the hands, like any other handicraft.

Cutting out shapes and shapes from paper helps young children develop fine motor skills in a fun way!

How to teach a child paper cutting?

1. First of all, your baby’s hands should be ready to learn the skill of cutting. The best exercise for a baby is squeezing water out of a simple sponge; it trains the necessary muscles.
2. Then show your child how fun it is to tear old newspapers and pieces of paper into pieces - this will teach him to hold the paper in his hands without dropping it.
3. Now you can learn paper cutting using special materials for children! Start by cutting out straight and wavy lines, then teach your child to cut out shapes before introducing pictures to cut out.

Important! Remember to take breaks if your child is tired or bored. Be sure to encourage your child verbally, praise him, and try to interfere less with the cutting process itself.

Safety when cutting from paper

Before you begin, show your child how to hold scissors correctly and talk to him about using scissors safely. The child must clearly understand that:

All children develop differently. The age limits below should be used as a guide, taking into account individual children's interests, temperament and attention span.

2 years: Children at this age will enjoy tearing paper into small pieces and cutting things out only by repeating after adults;

3 years: at this age you can try to cut out any shapes with your child, sitting next to him and continuously observing the process;

4 years: the child is able to cut out simple lines and shapes himself with a little help from an adult;

from 5 years and older: The child should be able to easily cut out pictures and even glue them onto paper, making appliqués.

Nowadays you can buy any toys in stores, but handmade paper crafts do not lose their relevance. Despite their primitive appearance, the process of making them will please the baby and will help develop his perseverance and fine motor skills.

Making a face-changing cube out of paper:

Volumetric crafts made from colored paper have been and remain the most popular type of children's creativity. Paper is one of the simplest and cheapest materials, often used in kindergartens and school groups. You can interest your child in paper crafts by choosing a theme that is interesting to a particular child. In addition, even from paper, crafts can be made using different techniques: scrapbooking, origami, three-dimensional appliqués, quilling.

Volumetric crafts - paper animals

If we talk about paper crafts for children 4, 5, 6 years old, then one of the popular topics for creativity is the animal world. Three-dimensional animals made of colored paper, birds, insects and fish seem to come to life, acquiring not only bright colors, but also a bizarre shape.

We have selected voluminous paper animal crafts, master classes, templates and step-by-step instructions especially for you.

In this article we will look at not just examples of finished works, but also templates for three-dimensional crafts, which can be printed directly from the site.

In addition to the paper and cardboard itself, we will also need scissors, a glue stick (or PVA), a simple pencil, some additional parts, for example, toilet paper rolls and doll eyes. By the way, you can make toy eyes yourself by cutting out a small circle from white paper and drawing a dot on it with a black marker.

Please note that some instructions contain not only colored paper, but also cardboard, paper cups or disposable paper plates and napkins, but voluminous paper crafts made with your own hands from these improvised materials look no less impressive.

An original solution would be a voluminous paper craft for a preschooler, made by hand, as a gift or small present to a close relative (grandparents/dad). This could be a themed figurine for one of the holidays or some memorable day. Thus, 3D animals, the diagrams and templates of which we will now consider, are a huge success among children.

This simple construction paper craft is not only easy to make, but also fun. Any child can cope with this task in 15 minutes. For a paper shark you need a sheet of double-sided blue or blue paper, white and red, scissors and a glue stick. We will work according to the following scheme:

A butterfly made from colored paper can be interesting in terms of making - this is where a child can show all his imagination and creativity. The wings of a butterfly can be completely different, and a colored sheet is taken as a basis, and different patterns can be glued onto it or simply painted.

A voluminous fish made of colored paper - such an interesting and simple craft will keep a child busy for 15-20 minutes:

Funny elephant made from black velvet paper - a simple craft that will require some participation from an adult. In order for a child to make an elephant, an adult must draw an outline on black paper, along which the outline of the animal must be cut out:

And we will make this elephant from a toilet roll (it’s also made of paper) and cover it with green paper (you can take any other color:

Another funny creature made from a paper roll is a chicken:

Templates for three-dimensional paper crafts can be printed on white office paper, cut out and colored, but if we are talking about a specific living creature with a certain color (a frog, for example), then it is better to print the blank on paper of a specific color (in the case of a frog - green). Check out these paper animal templates for children aged 4 years and older:

Such three-dimensional figures can be made of any shape, they can be multi-colored, they can be decorated with beads or lace and a beautiful inscription can be made. In such an unusual box you can store jewelry or all sorts of women's little things.

Many fathers and mothers are occupied with the question of how to explain this or that question to a child in the most accessible way. When a child grows up, the time comes to explain to him complex geometric shapes - cube, sphere, etc. It is much easier to show these figures to a child. To give a child three-dimensional models of geometric shapes, they need to be made from something.

The most convenient and easiest to make is paper crafts in the origami style.

There are many different shapes that people have learned to make from paper and not necessarily geometric ones. These can be voluminous hearts that you can use as decorations for Valentine's Day or stars that will complement the decor in the nursery.

Volumetric paper figures: diagrams of geometric shapes

Creating three-dimensional geometric shapes is not only exciting, but also useful. The child learns to think spatially, which is very necessary.

The simplest way to make a three-dimensional geometric figure is to print the templates and cut along the dotted line, then glue them according to the instructions.

But you can also make such figures yourself. For this you will need: cardboard, colored or white paper, pencil, ruler, scissors and glue.

How to make a paper cube:

1. On a piece of paper, draw 4 identical squares with sides 4 cm in a row in a row.
2. From the second square, up and down, draw an identical square. You should get a pattern of 6 squares in the form of a cross.
3. On the protruding squares, draw valves in the form of trapezoids (width no more than 0.7 cm).
4. Cut out a template - a future sample for working with cardboard or other thick paper.
5. Bend the figure along the drawn lines, coat the small trapezoid flaps with glue and connect all sides together.

If desired, each side of the cube can be covered with colored paper. And if one side with the flap is not fixed with glue, you will end up with a small box that can be used as gift wrapping.

Amusing volumetric paper animals: toys for kids

Children love to cut out, glue, and draw - such activities broaden the child’s horizons, develop attentiveness and perseverance. Using ready-made diagrams on the Internet or in creative magazines, schoolchildren can create different animal figures.

Gluing three-dimensional shapes is quite simple:

1. Having chosen the desired animal, you need to print the diagram.
2. Cut out the parts according to the template, leaving a small margin for gluing.
3. Make folds along the line and glue the figure.

You can make easy crafts yourself. A bear, a fox, a dog, a cat, a bee - all these animals will be made using identical technology.

Whatever craft you make, you need to let it dry completely. If you handle wet glue with your hand, you can leave dirty fingerprints on the paper.

To create a simple craft, you will need white and green paper, scissors, and glue.

DIY little bunny toy:

• Two strips 3 cm wide and 10 and 7 cm long;
• Two semicircles in the shape of ears;
• Two eyes (blanks);
• A free-form green piece of paper for the “grass.”

Fold the strips and glue the ends together. You should get two wide rings. Glue a larger ring onto a green piece of grass - the body of a bunny, and glue the head onto it. Attach the ears evenly to the back of the head. Draw or glue ready-made eyes, make a mouth - the bunny is ready.

Do-it-yourself three-dimensional paintings from toilet paper: master class

Any creative work is inextricably linked with extraordinary thinking. Crafts made from improvised materials help both children and adults look at these things from a different angle.

Three-dimensional pictures made from toilet paper are not very well known in ordinary circles. But where there is room for creative thinking, there is always something new and interesting.

To create a picture you will need:

• Toilet paper;
• PVA glue;
• Thick cardboard;
• Gouache;
• Brushes 2-3 pcs. different sizes;
• Acrylic varnish;
• Glue container;
• Pencil.

The way you work with paper also determines its appearance. Before gluing the paper onto the cardboard, you need to soak it well.

How to make a three-dimensional picture from toilet paper:

1. It is better to cover the cardboard with one or several layers of soaked paper. To do this, apply a thin and even layer of PVA glue to the cardboard and then apply a strip of paper. After drying, we have a ready-made base for the painting.
2. Let's draw a tree.
3. Take glue into a bowl and dilute it a little with water.
4. To create a tree trunk, the most convenient way is to twist soaked paper into a spiral. Lay it out according to the pattern of the tree trunk and its branches.
5. To create tree leaves, a suitable method is to layer many small pieces of paper. Twist small pieces into paper balls, soak in glue and lay out according to the template. This will give the tree volume and, of course, make the picture clearer due to the difference in textures.

The finished picture can be inserted into a regular wooden frame without glass.

The painting should be painted on dry paper.

For coloring it is better to use gouache. Ordinary watercolor paint will not lay down in a dense layer on the paper and will show through. For paint, use a high-quality brush that will not disintegrate.

Original do-it-yourself voluminous paper birds: origami patterns

With a little practice, you can create complex and interesting three-dimensional paper shapes with your own hands. You need to start with the simplest shapes that can be printed, cut and glued.

This work with origami involves the use of a square sheet of paper, which must first be cut out.

Do-it-yourself volumetric owl: working with paper

1. We bend a sheet of paper 40x40 cm diagonally, unbend it and bend it along the second diagonal.
2. We turn the sheet over with the curves facing up and fold it in half towards itself.
3. Unbend and bend in half again from left to right. We fold the sheet along these folds into a square and place it in front of us in the form of a diamond.
4. We bend the lower edges towards the center, forming two triangles. We bend the upper triangle and unbend it back.
5. Unfold the side triangles and open the bottom corner. Turn the craft over and also open the bottom corner.
6. We bend the upper half of the top layer in half “towards ourselves”.
7. In the same way, bend the upper half of the second layer back.
8. We bend the side edges of the top layer, forming 2 triangles. We bend the bottom layer back in the same way.
9. Fold the right half of the top layer in half to the left. Turn over and repeat the action.
10. At the same time, we turn the left half to the right and pull the lower part up - we get a wing.
11. We bend the left half to the right - onto the wing, and bring the back half forward. We make the second wing identical to the first.
12. We bend the top corner down and form the head. Turn the product over.
13. We cut the corners on the sides and lift up the resulting triangles. Turn it over.
14. We make a cut in the lower corner, and from the top layer we bend triangles to the side—the owl’s feet. Your bird is ready!

The owl will be white and can be decorated. For drawing, use watercolors, gouache or a regular felt-tip pen.

Volumetric paper applique: templates and pictures from lumps of paper

It is also interesting to be creative with small children. A very popular type of needlework for kids is creating pictures from lumps of colored paper. This work is quite easy, but at the same time painstaking, because you have to work with small pieces of paper.

For work we will need - colored cardboard, thin colored paper (ideally napkins), glue, pencil.

When working, it is important not to forget about alternating colors, because the picture should be bright and colorful.

Before you start creating a picture, you need to draw simple toy figures on a sheet of cardboard. It could be a doll, a car, a butterfly or a whole house.

To make a picture from lumps, you need to cut a napkin into many small squares. Crush each piece with your hands, dip it in glue and apply it to the drawing, forming a three-dimensional picture.
