The New Year is approaching, and the pre-holiday fuss captures us every day more and more. Adults already look narrowly at potential gifts for their loved ones and write the menu of the festive table , children are looking forward to surprises. To brighten up the child's weary days of waiting, you can lure him with handicrafts. For example, you can invite him to make Santa Claus out of paper.
There can be a lot of options - it's necessary to start from the age, abilities and interests of your child. The main thing is that all participants should enjoy the process and results. Ready-made Santa Clauses can be hung on a Christmas tree, put under it or give to grandparents. So, we proceed.
Santa Clause made of paper - cone
Perhaps, the most simple piece of artwork, it can be done with kids 2-3 years.
For her, we need:
- red cardboard;
- pink paper for the face;
- cotton wool for the beard and clothing;
- White paper;
- glue, scissors;
- markers.
- First we need to draw a semicircle on the cardboard. To do this, you can use a compass, or you can simply circle a small diameter plate. To Santa Claus was not too wide, enough of a small sector of the circle - about one-third.
- Fold and glue the cone. We cut out the oval from the pink paper and paste it on the supposed face of our Grandfather Frost. On it markers draw the eyes and nose. We glue the face to the cone.
- It remains to make a beard, hat and coat. They can be made from cotton, or can be made from white paper. With cotton it's all clear - we glue it on the cone along its bottom edge, and also slightly below the upper corner in a circle and on the face.
Another option is to prepare a beard from a piece of paper: we make narrow strips, cut out the fringe from them and twist them with the help of a blade (just hold them in stripes so that they twist). We paste the strips in several tiers so that the beard is magnificent. We stick one strip on the "cap". Such a toy can be hung on a Christmas tree - it will be very elegant.
Santa Claus made of paper - origami
With older children, we make Santa Claus with our own hands in origami technique - it's a little more complicated, but under your guidance everything will turn out perfectly. You can hang this artifact on the tree, and you can make a garland, which will require several such toys.
Here is an uncomplicated master class on making Santa Claus. We need colored paper. You can not focus on red, but make a bright multi-colored garland.
- To create such an article, you must first fold the sheet of paper twice, straighten it, bend the bottom two corners to the center.
- Then add the resulting sharp angle to the top and turn the workpiece.
- Bend the top corner, then slightly wrap the top side - about 1 cm.
- It remains only to bend the right and left corners behind the "back" of Santa Claus. As you can see, nothing is difficult - our craft is ready!
