Manufacturing technology of the finger puppet “Fox”.
Before we get started, let’s remember the basic safety rules when working with scissors and needles.
store needles and pins in a specific place (pincushion). Do not put needles or pins in your mouth or stick them into your clothing.
Do not use rusty needles and pins.
Do not leave the scissor blades open while working.
Don't cut as you go.
Making a pattern for a finger puppet will not take you much time. First you need to decide on the size. The base of the toy should be about the height of your index finger. Draw the body and other details. Don’t forget to make allowances for the parts that are inserted into the base.
We select materials for our chanterelle. We transfer the details onto paper and cut them out.
Base – 2 parts;
Head – 1 piece;
Muzzle – 1 piece;
Ears – 2 parts;
Tail – 1 piece;
Ponytail tip – 1 piece;
Paws – 2 parts.


Transfer the pattern to felt. We pin larger parts to the material with pins, and outline small ones with tailor's chalk.


We distribute the parts in places.


We adjust the right foot to the base. We make fastenings.


Adjusting the second foot. We make fastenings.


We adjust the muzzle to the head. Align the edges with scissors.


Sew the ears to the head using a triple tack.


We design the ponytail - we fit the tip of the ponytail onto the part. Align the edges with scissors.


We connect the parts of the body along the contour. Don't forget to insert a tail on the side. We make fastenings. Align the edges along the contour.


Using glue we attach the head to the body. We work with glue carefully, as traces may appear on the surface of the material. We make the eyes and nose from large black beads. They can be glued or sewn with threads in color.


Manufacturing technology of the finger puppet “Mashenka”.
A distinctive feature of the execution will be the processing of the head.
Let's draw the pattern. We select materials.
Base (dress) – 2 parts;

We adjust the lace along the bottom of the dress. We make fastenings.


We adjust the bast shoes. We make fastenings. Sew the dress along the contour. Align the edges along the contour.


We adjust the bangs and nose to the head. To prevent the spout from sliding under the sewing machine foot, it must first be glued.


Glue the head to the base. Glue a scarf of self-adhesive felt on top. We fasten the braid between the two parts of the scarf. Align the edges.


We secure the edges of the scarf with machine stitching. We make fastenings.


Glue on the eyes - beads. Brown the cheeks with a red pencil.

The importance of small toys for little ones fingers are hard to overestimate. Such toys have many valuable qualities that cannot be found in any newfangled children's toy.

Games with finger puppet theater They develop a child’s curiosity, imagination, communication skills, promote the development of speech, memory, attention, perseverance, and broaden their horizons. In addition, the child can come up with stories himself. By using finger theater You can conduct educational conversations, and, of course, develop fine motor skills and prepare your hand for writing.

Moreover, playing this theater The little ones, older children, and even parents can do it.

I suggest you make the simplest look together with your children. finger theater - made of paper. TO making a finger puppet theater from paper You can also involve the child himself. This process can be quite exciting for him. A younger child will be able to draw a face, and an older child will be able to complete the entire process independently, under the guidance of an adult.

For this we need:

White and/or colored paper;

Scissors;

PVA glue;

Ruler;

Simple and colored pencils, felt-tip pens.

To begin with, you need to paper draw squares.

My 6-year-old children and I made a square of 6 * 6 cm and 8 * 8 cm.

Then we boldly cut them out.

After this, we make cups using the origami technique according to the diagram (see photo)

Now the process becomes creative. You can draw faces and muzzles of various fairy tale or cartoon characters on the cups, or print them out "faces" the desired characters on the printer, cut them out and glue them onto cups with "facial" sides.

Good evening dear colleagues! As you know, “Finger Theater” is a wonderful game that adults and children enjoy. Finger.

Today I present to your attention a master class on making masks for the fairy tale “The Fox and the Hare”. The master class is designed for children.

Theatrical games occupy a certain place in the work system kindergarten. Familiarization with different types theaters begin early.

The Teremok flat paper finger theater, from our point of view, is not very suitable for children under 5 years old. But 5-6 year old children will be happy to play with it. The principle of movement of the dolls is very simple - the index and middle fingers are inserted into the slits. These are the “legs” of the doll. Now she can “walk.” Of course, children of this age know the fairy tale “Teremok” by heart. But here we will be “playing theater.” And almost all the guys want to be an artist. But, although the fairy tale is familiar, such games will develop children’s speech - after all, you need to speak for each character in a certain voice, try to convey his character. The bunny speaks timidly, the fox speaks slyly, the mouse squeaks, and the bear growls menacingly. Conveying all these shades with a voice is an interesting and difficult task for younger preschoolers. In addition, children can actively participate in creating puppets and decorations for the Teremok paper finger theater.

Flat finger theater made of paper “Teremok”

In order to make puppets for our finger paper theater, you need to print (or draw) the heroes of the Teremok fairy tale on plain paper. The height of the dolls should be approximately 9-10 cm, and the width at the bottom of the figure should be less than 4.5 cm - so that holes for the fingers can be freely cut.
Puppet templates for flat finger theater made from Teremok paper


Glue the template onto very thick paper or thin cardboard. Let it rest under a load (2-3 thick books) for 10-15 minutes. We color the animals with colored pencils of suitable colors.
We cut out the figure and cut holes for the fingers.
If you wish, you can paint the back of the doll. Keep in mind that it will be more difficult for your child to color an already cut out figure. The doll is ready.


You can print colored figures right away or use the appliqué technique (as in the photo below).

Decorations for the paper finger theater “Teremok”

To play out a fairy tale with such dolls, we need a decoration - a house-teremok. It's not difficult to make.
Step 1
Take a sheet of brown (not glossy!) cardboard. Draw it as shown in the diagram.


Step 2
Cut out the windows.


Step 3
Cut strips of red paper 1 cm wide for the windows and 2-3 cm wide for the roof. Decorate the windows and roof slope with stripes. You can make a carved edge on the strips.


Step 4
Cut out circles of logs with a diameter of about 2 cm from yellow paper. Glue them onto the tower.


Step 5
Cut out grass from green paper and glue it to the bottom.


Step 6
Draw in the details with a felt-tip pen and trim off the excess cardboard above the roof.

Step 7
Fold another sheet of cardboard into an accordion. The first link of the accordion is 2 cm, the second and third are 5 cm. Fold the remaining piece of cardboard in half again (that is, the fourth and fifth links will be about 3-4 cm each)
We glue the narrowest part of the “accordion” to the tower from below.


To make the tower stable, glue the side parts of the second link of the “accordion” to the tower. A kind of pocket is formed into which we will “populate” the animals.

The photo shows what our mansion will look like from behind.


The tower is ready, the performance can begin.
The finger theater “Teremok” can be made in other ways, for example. Or . These models do not require any decorations. In addition, you can play with them with very young children 2-3 years old.

Fairy tale "Turnip" on clothespins. MK from me

I suggest you make a “Turnip” fairy tale for your kids. This method using clothespins develops the kids’ imagination, attention, they can independently rearrange the characters, develops the baby’s motor skills and tactile perception. The point is that the clothespins easily attach to each other.
Actually, what I’m saying is, let’s try to create a fairy tale together and you will see everything for yourself!
To work you will need:
Cardboard with images of characters (I copied them from the Internet and mirrored the drawing so that the characters were visible from 2 sides, this allows you to gather several children around you and no one will remain indifferent), scissors, clothespins 8 pcs (I took wooden ones, clean material, but you can use any kind), glue (I used hot-melt glue, I had it on hand, but you can use anything that glues paper to wood). The whole action, along with printing the characters, will take a maximum of an hour.

We cut out all our characters and glue the heroes of the fairy tale with glue to the base of the clothespin on both sides.
!!!Before you stick it, look carefully to see if the characters are positioned in the right direction!!!


For the theater, you can also take a box and stick the background of the fairy tale and the ground on the inside on the bottom of the sides, place the box and perform all the actions against its background.
We finished doing it and then the fairy tale began.....
