Games with children are varied, and classes for the soul are available for every child. During the game, children learn new skills, learn the world and develop their own talents. One such entertainment is the finger theater or just games with finger puppets. The latter are sold in stores, but in this article we will tell you how to make them with your own hands.
How to make finger puppets?
Materials for making dolls can be used in a variety of ways:
- tree;
- paper;
- the cloth;
- Knitting thread.
Wooden finger puppets last much longer than paper or rag dolls, but they also have inconvenience. For tender baby fingers, they can be too hard, and the fingers of an adult can not fit in them.
Paper finger puppets are the most fragile, but they are easy to manufacture by themselves. To do this, you need to print the stencils with the characters you like, cut and decorate them, or you can draw the characters of your favorite fairy tales yourself. Finger dolls of paper can have special arches that need to be glued together to make a ring that is then worn on the finger. There are also variants of dolls with holes for two fingers. Inserting the fingers into them, we get funny characters with legs. We offer you three piglets and a wolf from the famous fairy tale about three piglets.
Bound or stitched finger dolls are the most convenient option, they are soft enough and elastic enough to be put on the finger of a child and an adult, and they are more durable than paper dolls.
Master-class: finger puppets from the fabric with their own hands
On the example of dolls for a finger theater in the form of bears, we show how you can make your own hands the next surprise for the child.
- On paper draw the silhouette of the future bear, taking into account the size of the fingers. The resulting pattern is cut out.
- We put the fabric in half, apply the templates to it and draw it around the contour. We sew the fabric along the marked lines, not forgetting to leave a hole for the finger free.
- From a smaller circle, make a bear's face. Nose embroider or take a special plastic nozzle. We mark the radius of the circle and add it along the line. In the end, you should get such a protection from below. Sew it.
- We sew the nose to the main figure of the bear. We sew our eyes in the form of two black dots. Do not forget about the details. From multi-colored strips of fabric you can sew clothes for him or make accessories from beads. They will help to supplement the toy. So, with the help of a rag tie, beads made of beads and bottles, we get a whole bear family.
