Most children love puppet theater - they are captured by the performance of animated and controlled puppets, children develop their imagination and imagination, presenting the further development of the plot. Puppet theater is a great way of creative development for children, and you can create such a theater at home, creating performances with children who will be happy to participate in the creative process.
Instructions
Step 1
The main thing in such a performance is the dolls. You can make theater puppets in a variety of ways. Simple and popular are parsley dolls that are worn on the hand. Make these dolls by hand from scraps of fabric of various textures - use fleecy fabric and faux fur for animal toys, and use more decorative and thin fabrics for human toys.
Step 2
If you have thin felt, use it for sewing dolls. Paint the finished toys and decorate with ribbons and beads. Stuff toys with plain cotton wool or sawdust. Draw patterns for dolls on cardboard, and transfer from cardboard to fabric. Cut all fabrics, except fur and leather, with seam allowances.
Step 3
Always start making a doll's pattern from the head - this is the most important element of creating a doll. Paint the finished head, draw the face and hair. Dolls can also be made from papier-mâché, making out the finished shape with paper pulp dipped in PVA glue. Paint the finished figurines with acrylic or oil paint.
Step 4
For staging a performance, choose simple plays with an interesting plot and funny characters. If you don't want to make a scene, make a simple closed screen, behind which you will stand with the dolls, and the scene itself will pass over the screen.
Step 5
Behind the screen, place the dolls on the table, which you will take for each episode of the play. Also interesting will be a miniature tabletop theater in which you create miniature scenery and make a curtain. Cut the decorations out of colored cardboard and paint.
Step 6
Move the characters around the "stage" with a long wooden stick. Put on the lighting, voice the characters - and your tabletop theater will attract the attention of the little ones.
