The little one and I did it!

Since our family has an ingrained tradition of remembering everything in last moment, then this case was no exception. My son Vadik told me about the assignment exactly one day before it was due. There was nowhere to go - I had to get to work!

Tools and materials

The model of the city does not require any extra-natural materials, and a normal student should have everything available:

  1. Ruler
  2. Colored paper + colored cardboard
  3. Colour pencils
  4. Scissors
  5. Brushes + paints (we used gouache)
  6. Glue
  7. A4 paper

How to make a city layout

We thought about it a little and decided that since time was running out, we would make a road + a couple of buildings + some kind of transport. We decided - we do it.


We took a piece of thick cardboard, cut out a 40 by 30 cm rectangle from it. Then we pasted it on one side with A4 office paper.


Having carefully trimmed the edges, we got a base for the layout, which is ready for painting.


They drew an impromptu road



The next step was to build a high-rise building. I don’t give explicit dimensions, since everything was done by eye...


Before gluing the building together I decorated it


This is what happened after gluing


We cut the back of the building to size, then glued it on and also painted it.

Children's city model

Sorry friends.

Due to the fact that time was really pressing, the shooting had to be postponed. The building alone took almost 2 hours.

The next step was a bus. They did it according to the same principle as the building - they glued it together and painted it. Balconies were added to the building and the inscription “shop” was attached to the bottom.

They built a stop with a sign and made several trees.

The final step was gluing all the products onto the base. To make it stick better in some places I had to use tape :)

And here is the result!


And further…


The city model with your own hands is ready!

Fabric applique “Clown”

In this type of needlework there are many different techniques for performing crafts. In this MK we will consider the technology of making a clown applique from pieces of fabric. It will also not be difficult for children if adults help them understand step-by-step description work. So, in preparatory group The children were asked to work with an appliqué made of fabric, pieces of which would be glued to a sheet of cardboard. In addition, children's crafts will look bright and funny if the clown himself is painted. Interesting additions will be applique elements made of fabric, threads or other decorative elements. Another option for clown applique is to apply the contours of the design to a fabric base and secure the details using satin stitches. In this master class we offer several interesting ideas. Pictures can be printed on a printer and then cut out as a stencil.

Templates and stencils for the “Clown” applique


















Video: Making a circus out of paper

Today we are getting acquainted not just with designer paper dolls, but with expressive circus characters - tents, so we can make them ourselves. And also, the limbs of these paper dolls are movable - they are made on hinges, this gives them more advantages in the game, which children will certainly like.

The images of these characters are as expressive as they are simple – they consist of simple shapes and are somewhat reminiscent of children’s drawings. Therefore, it will not be difficult to draw similar dolls or come up with your own without having any experience in drawing. After all, toys made with your own hands are much more interesting, especially if you make them together with children. And then you can arrange a real one puppet show or a circus, the main characters of which will be your paper dolls and will perform a fascinating performance - what could be more interesting and entertaining for children? There can be many themes for performances, as well as funny characters. Brave acrobats and graceful dancers, a mighty strongman and a brave trainer with his amazing animals: an elephant and a bear. And, of course: - All evening in the arena! The funniest clown in the world!

The kids will definitely like this idea, because they love the circus so much.

How to make funny paper dolls

The idea is interesting and not very difficult to implement. Children will be happy to take part in the idea. With a little help from adults, everything will work out. Let's figure out what might be useful for creating a doll from cardboard.

- we will need thick cardboard, from which we will make dolls;
- colour pencils;
- pieces of colored paper or maybe fabric;
- scissors;
- glue;
- hole puncher;
- metal or plastic rivets;
- hammer;
- the board on which we will work.

We draw separately the torso and those limbs that will be movable, with small allowances for attachment to the torso. You can let your child color the characters before cutting them out.

Then we cut out the component parts of our paper dolls. We punch holes in them, at the places where the moving parts are attached, using a hole punch with a hole diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the rivet. Using a hammer on a board, we connect the parts of our homemade articulated dolls and install rivets in the resulting holes. The result is funny articulated dolls in which all joints bend.

Or, before cutting out, we decorate them with colored paper or pieces of fabric, creating details of circus costumes, gluing elegant clothes onto our characters.

And then we cut out and install the rivets. By the way, you can fasten the hinges with a needle and thread in one hole and fix the loops on both sides with beads, one thing at a time.

The resulting paper dolls are ready to participate in the performance.

What is a circus without trained animals? From cardboard of blue color cut out the details of the elephant. Note that almost all of them are irregular oval in shape. Isn’t it really that complicated? We connect them all using rivets or beads, decorate our elephant with a beautiful blanket and the mighty beast is ready to perform.
