Paper is an affordable, cheap and versatile creative material. It gives a lot of room for imagination - on paper you can write, draw, fold various figures out of paper - from the simplest to complex modular designs. That is why paper can be called one of the best materials for children's creative development. Together with the children, you can make a variety of crafts out of paper, prompting them with different ideas and giving advice. In this article we will tell you how to cut and glue simple and unusual animals out of paper. With a little effort, you can easily make any animal using this technique.
Instructions
Step 1
Paper animals are based on narrow strips of colored or plain paper glued into a ring. The length of the strips, which determines the diameter of the rings, can be different - it depends on what kind of animal you are making and what part of its body you are gluing.
Step 2
Try to make several rings separately from each other from paper strips of different sizes, and then glue them together by placing a small ring on a larger ring and attaching a very small ring to it on top.
Step 3
Perhaps already in these designs you will see the outlines of animals, and you will want to add or glue eyes, ears, whiskers, paws and tail to them, as well as paint the surface of the rings with paints.
Step 4
If you want to make animals more voluminous, you can make rings from wide strips of paper - in this case, the ring can be directed at the viewer with its side part, as the body of the animal.
Step 5
Paint the surface of the figure in the desired colors corresponding to the animal you are making, and also glue all its attributes - cut a strip of paper with fringes to glue the tail; glue a paper mustache to the drawn face of the animal, glue the paws to the figure, and glue a carrot out of colored paper for a hare.
