Paper plastic for children
Show the kids how to do simple yet effective work.
Paper fish
Such a sea world will become the subject for a beautiful picture. Having learned how to make paper fish, children will be able to decorate postcards with them to give them to adults.
Prepare:
- colored paper;
- scissors with round ends;
- glue;
- corrugated paper from a box of chocolates.
Take paper of the desired color, cut a square out of it. Fold it diagonally and cut off the bottom corner.
Give the child the same blank. Let him watch your manipulations and repeat them. Then paper plastic for children will be clear to them. Show the kid how to round off the left corner, and cut on the right into such horizontal strips.
This is what this blank will look like when you unfold it.
Now you need to cross all the strips and glue them in this position in the middle. You will get such a fish preparation.
Show your child how to draw the sea, underwater vegetation on white paper. Then, together with him, glue the fish made by you jointly here.
Diamond
Help your child learn the first origami skills by showing you how to make a diamond. But such a craft is suitable for schoolchildren, since certain skills are needed. In order not to create a template yourself, we suggest downloading it. Then you can then transfer it to the paper of your choice.
Bring the indicated lines here, and then start bending along them.
Now you need to draw along the lines of the sash, glue the beginning of the first ray to the second, then attach the next one to it.
The result is these diamonds.
It will be interesting for the boy to receive a sample of Japanese weapons as a gift. Don't worry, it is completely safe as it is made of paper.
How to make kunai?
Prepare:
- sheets of paper;
- scissors;
- glue.
Cut squares out of paper. Take the first one. Fold it according to the diagram.
First fold the first sheet diagonally once, and then the resulting triangle again.
This is to indicate the folds. Therefore, iron them well. Expand the small triangle and pull one and the other side of the large one towards the center.
The resulting figure, which looks like a pyramid, needs to be straightened. Then you will make it more voluminous.
To make a handle for the Japanese kunai weapon, fold the second square several times to get such a narrow volumetric strip. Secure with tape or glue, and then paste inside the created weapon.
There will be a ring on the back. Make it by twisting a paper tube. This is how this detail will turn out.
To be able to use such a spear as a throwing weapon, make it not out of paper, but out of cardboard. Fasten the junction of the handle with the tip with tape.
If you need paper plastic for very young children, then you can create the following characters with them.
From napkins
As you understand, paper napkins will be the main material. Draw a funny lamb on a piece of paper or cardboard, cut the napkins into squares with a side of 2 cm. Let the child wind them on the tip of a pencil without a lead and apply them to the drawn character. You need to attach napkins with glue.
In the same way, you can create an autumn panel that will show off the maple leaves of this season.
The paper-plastic technique will allow the children to make summer and autumn flowers.

Girls will certainly like this paper-making, when you can create Malvina with your own hands. To do this, you need to draw an image of a fairy-tale heroine on paper, then fill her hair with blue napkins, decorate clothes using the same technique.
Paper and plastic will help to make the postcard unique. Show your child how to draw and cut out a heart, and then let him put his palm on it, circle it. On the palm of your hand, you will need to glue the white endings from napkins, and on the heart itself - pink. A bow made of paper ribbons is attached in the upper right corner. Then this blank must be glued to one side of the postcard.
With the help of paper plastic, a child can also create a postcard for the New Year. This Christmas tree is cut out of green paper. On it, you first need to draw triangles of different sizes, and then cut and glue them, placing small ones at the top, large ones at the bottom. Snowflakes and Angels are also cut out of paper.
Paper plastic for beginners or for children will help create such picturesque butterflies. After all, they are made from ordinary napkins using the trimming technique.

Now start rolling the workpiece on one side, securing its ends with glue.
If you want more colorful flowers, then use colored paper. See how wonderful a rose made of this material looks. It is created using the same paper-plastic technique.
But the flowers also look wonderful from the newspaper. Now that you've created them, glue these blanks onto the ball.
Wrap the trunk of the tree with newspaper or twine, gluing these materials. Decorate the surface of the plaster by putting coins here.

In this picture, you can see how many layers of each composition and what elements need to be done. By looking at this tip, you will be able to cut them out of your drawings that you made with the copier.
Now you need to stick them on the corrugated cardboard using double-sided tape.

Paper allows you to create real miracles. What can not be done from it!
Spruce branch with paper cones
Here's a masterpiece will turn out. But first you need to take:
- crepe or corrugated paper;
- scissors;
- water washable marker;
- thin wire.
Cut crepe or corrugated paper into strips, fold each several times and cut with such a fringe.
Now twist each strip so that they all resemble Christmas tree needles.
Attach a wire, folded in half to the first workpiece, twist the paper so that you get a sprig of spruce.
Connect several pieces so that the branch is so lush like this.
Now take thin paper of a different color. It can be the same as in the photo, red or brown. A strip of paper should be designed in this way. First, wrap its top side twice, and then begin to twist the resulting strip so that you have an openwork edge.
This will create the scales of the cone. To make it yourself, wind the strip around your index finger and form a spiral shape that will eventually turn into a bump.
To prevent the upper turn from spinning, hold it with your finger. Tie a rope at the bottom of the bump, and then wrap a strip of green paper around it.
Attach floristic or regular thin wire, make a flexible stem to the bud, then attach it to the branch.
Make several of these cones, then decorate your creation with a light green crepe paper bow. To do this, first you need to cut a strip, bend its first and second large sidewalls, and then arrange this ribbon in the form of a bow.
It remains to tie it with a string and thus attach it to the branch.
