It is necessary
- - colored paper;
- - cardboard;
- - scissors;
- - glue.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to cut paper toys is to make flat crafts. Cut out one piece of cardboard and two pieces of colored paper, one of which will be a mirror image of the other. Stick the colored parts on both sides of the cardboard. If the toy will be hung, then do not forget to lay a loop of lace between the blanks. Decorate the craft as you like. Such toys can be put on stands and play with the child a scene from a fairy tale.
Step 2
Cut out details from paper: triangles, circles, strips of different lengths and thicknesses, and others. Get creative and glue the blanks so that you get toys. For example, make a cockerel from a cone and colorful stripes gathered in a tail, a snail from paper spirals.
Step 3
Volumetric toys such as balls, stars, flowers are made from several identical parts. Prepare a cardboard template before cutting paper toys. Circle it and cut out the required number of parts. Make folds at the edges of the blanks and glue them together to form a three-dimensional shape.
Step 4
Toys are made of strips of paper using the quilling technique. Cut thin strips of the same thickness from the sheet, wind them on an awl and form various geometric shapes, which you glue together or glue on cardboard. Thus, you can make airy stars and snowflakes, decorations for a puppet theater.
Step 5
Toys are made of thick paper strips using the weaving technique. Cut out the blanks and weave them together, alternately superimposing one strip on top of the other. In this way, you can make voluminous baskets and boxes, as well as colored rugs.
Step 6
In children's stores, sheets with patterns of paper volumetric crafts are sold. All that remains for you is to cut the toys out of paper, fold them according to the scheme and glue them. Similar crafts can be found on the Internet. Download the diagram you like, print it on thick paper and make a toy.
