Paper figures on the theme of the circus. Thematic lesson "Circus

Today we get acquainted not just with author's paper puppets, but with expressive circus characters - big tops, to make them with our own hands. And yet, the limbs of these paper dolls are movable - made on hinges, this gives them more advantages in the game, which children will surely like.

The images of these characters are as expressive as they are simple - they consist of simple shapes and somehow resemble children's drawings. Therefore, it will not be difficult to draw such dolls or come up with your own without anyone having experience in drawing. After all, hand-made toys are much more interesting, especially if you make them with children. And then you can arrange a real puppet show or a circus, the main characters, which will be your paper dolls and play a fascinating performance - what could be more interesting and entertaining for children? Themes for performances can be many, as well as funny characters. Bold acrobats and graceful dancers, a mighty strong man and a brave trainer with his amazing animals: an elephant and a bear. And, of course: - All evening on the arena! The funniest clown in the world!

This idea will definitely appeal to the kids, 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 venture. With a little help from adults, everything will work out. Let's figure out what might come in handy to create a cardboard doll.

- we need thick cardboard, from which we will make dolls;
- colour pencils;
- pieces of colored paper and 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 attaching to the torso. You can let the child color the characters before cutting.

Then we cut out the component parts of our paper dolls. We pierce into them, at the places of attachment of moving parts, using a hole punch with a hole diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the rivet, hole. Using a hammer on the board, we connect the parts of our home-made articulated dolls, install rivets into the holes obtained. It turned out funny articulated dolls, in which all joints are bent.

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

And then cut and install rivets. By the way, you can also fasten the hinges with a needle and thread into one hole, and fix the loops on both sides with beads, one 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. Isn't it really difficult? We connect them all with rivets or beads, decorate our elephant with a beautiful blanket and the mighty beast is ready for action.

In today's article, I would like to introduce the kids and their parents to a funny clown - an indispensable "merry man" in the circus, which we will do with our own hands together.

This little man in the arena is able to make anyone, both old and young, laugh, play the accordion, sing a funny song, show a lot of original tricks. And therefore, today's our article on the topic of clown applications.

After reading detailed instructions, and, following step by step for each of its points, even a novice master will not be difficult.

This master class will involve geometric shapes that will allow the baby to develop their knowledge by studying shape and color, and diagrams and photos will help you visually figure out how to make paper crafts. Little kids in junior group kindergarten will make applications according to the prepared details, and the guys in middle group will already be able to cut out the constituent components according to the template.

To make a clown applique, prepare:

• templates geometric shapes;
• thick cardboard - the basis;
