Methodological recommendations “TYPES OF THEATER IN KINDERGARTEN”

Theater is a magical world. He gives lessons in beauty, morality and ethics. And the richer they are, the more successful the development of the spiritual world of children is…” (B. M. Teplov)

Theater is one of the most vibrant, colorful and accessible spheres of art for a preschooler. It develops imagination and fantasy, promotes the creative development of the child and forms his personal culture. Theatrical activities help children to relax, develop communication skills, increase self-esteem, develop speech, the emotional sphere and simply bring bright, unforgettable variety to everyday life, enriching the child’s inner world.

TYPES OF THEATER IN KINDERGARTEN /traditional and non-traditional/

1 Wrist theater

This type includes theatrical activities, which require attributes such as finger puppets or “glove” toys. There are the following “wrist” types of theaters in kindergarten:

• finger;

• glove

What is needed to organize such theatrical activities? First of all, you need a screen. Its size depends directly on the size of the characters. In turn, dolls are most often made independently by the teacher. But students can also take an active part in creating characters. For example, you can make finger puppets from cardboard cones, fabric, tennis balls and other materials.

“Glove puppets” can be made, for example, from a mitten or sock, sewing the necessary elements (face, hands, clothes, etc.) to the base.

It is important to note that finger theater, in addition to other advantages, effectively develops fine motor skills of preschoolers, which, in turn, directly affects the formation of children’s speech.

FINGER

These are dolls made of fabric, glued from paper or knitted from wool and thread. The pattern follows the contour of an outstretched finger of an adult or child or the contour of the palm. The doll should fit freely on any finger or hand of the puppeteer. The character's face can be embroidered, glued or sewn on using buttons, beads, threads, ropes, pieces of wool, colored paper, fabric. Children play behind a screen or in direct contact. For a finger theater, together with your child, you can draw or glue any character from a fairy tale from colored paper, then stick it on thin cardboard, and sew or glue a wide elastic band on the back side, put it on your finger and play. For the mitten theater, you can use unnecessary children's mittens. Each child involved in the performance works with only one doll. Children find intonations and movements of a particular character on their own or with the help of an adult. The performance is well accompanied by music or songs that children know.

Stomper Theater

It’s quite easy to make characters for the stomper theater from old gloves, cutting off everything unnecessary and leaving only two fingers. You can make a pattern of characters and sew them from knitwear. It is better to draw the head on cardboard, then sew it to the figure or glue it, after which the remaining details of the character are sewn on.

MITTEN DOLLS

Puppets for this theater can be made from sewn or knitted mittens, but mitten dolls made of paper are of particular interest to children. Children place the pattern on paper, trace it, carefully cut it out and glue it together. Then the mitten dolls are decorated with paints, felt-tip pens, appliqué, etc. You can even make part of the decorations on such mittens, for example, trees, bushes and much more.

2 Tabletop theater

The name of this type of theater speaks for itself - play activities are carried out on the table. Its peculiarity is that the scenery and characters must be small in size so that it is possible to place all the necessary attributes of the game on the surface. What is a tabletop theater like in kindergarten?

1. Paper (cardboard). Often such a ready-made theater can be found in some children's magazine - you just need to cut out and assemble all the necessary parts and you can start the performance.
2. A theater made of natural material, for example, cones, chestnuts, acorns, etc. It is convenient to place such characters in a box of sand.

Toy Theater

These are flat or ordinary toys that children play with every day. Stage area - children's table. You can make a character for a tabletop theater yourself from any available material: pine cones, acorns, roots; from household materials: milk and kefir bags, shoe boxes. If you take old skittles and cut off the bottom, and then trim or tie them, you will get a tabletop theater puppet. To decorate the doll, buttons, beads, wool, fabric, specially tied ears, noses, eyes, hair, paws and tails are used…. These dolls can be put on your hand, on a gapit, or on a thread. The teacher sits at the children's table, and the children sit in a semicircle in front of him. Children should not see the toys that the teacher will use to show the performance. The teacher, without masking his hands, takes toys in front of the children, moves them and speaks for them. Such a performance of toys, despite its great simplicity and primitiveness, is not devoid of theatricality; Both toddlers and older children watch it with great interest. For the performance, it is recommended to take scenes specially written for showing them with toys: “Matryoshka and Katya”, “Game of Hide and Seek”, “Adventures of Toys” and others. You can come up with similar scenes for the puppet theater yourself or use individual plots from children's literature. You just need to remember that their content should be extremely simple, without difficult, impossible actions and movements for toys. The toy show is designed for a small group of children. It is shown not in the hall at the holiday, but in the group room. The purpose of such displays is to entertain and please children, to make the doll more interesting for them, and to help them add variety to their play activities.

3 Horse Theater

What is a horse theater? This term was introduced by Russian puppeteers back in the 16th century. Its peculiarity is that the dolls are taller than the person who controls them. There are the following types:

1. Reed theater uses puppets, which are mounted on a high cane, and the person who controls the characters is hidden behind a screen.
2. The Bi-ba-bo theater is becoming increasingly popular. In principle, this is the same “glove”, since the dolls are put on the hand. The only difference is that a high screen is used and, thus, the characters are shown to the audience at a level higher than the puppeteer’s height.
3. No less interesting is the theater of spoons in kindergarten. It is very easy to make attributes for such gaming activities yourself. For this you will need a wooden spoon. The character’s face is drawn on its convex part, and the clothes of a fairy-tale hero are put on the handle. During a children's play, little puppeteers hold spoon characters by the handle.

Stock doll

.(cockerel, ducklings, dog, bear, etc.). These dolls are driven with the help of one or two rods (sticks). They are very useful for the development of fine motor skills, which contributes to the development of speech in children. These dolls also develop flexibility in the fingers, hand and wrist. When working with young children, dolls on one rod are used. The teacher teaches how to hold the doll with all fingers (in a fist). The doll moves due to the movements of the hand. Older children control the dolls on two rods. To manipulate such dolls, you need to teach children to hold the sticks only with their fingertips.

Mastering stock dolls.

At stage 1, the teacher shows a performance in which he introduces children to new dolls.

At stage 2, the exercise “Download, sticks!”

Exercise “Stoolka”. A stoolka is a stick with a flat circle at the end, to which threads with balls are attached on both sides. You need to hold the stick with three fingers (thumb, index and middle), and if you twist the stick with your fingertips, the balls will hit a flat circle. Children enjoy playing with the doll and at the same time they develop the skills necessary for puppeteering.

At stage 3, a theatrical game is held, during which children learn to move a doll along the edge of the screen. The teacher gives everyone a stock doll and improvises a fairy tale in which all children must participate.

Bi-ba-bo puppet theater (or "Petrushki" theater)

The Petrushki Theater is a theater whose puppets are worn on three full fingers of the hand - like a glove. In Italy, these dolls used to be called burattini, now they are called pupattzi. In Russia, this puppet character was named Petrushka. Petrushka traveled from fair to fair for a long time, until in 1924 he finally found his home in St. Petersburg. And it was then that a permanent puppet theater for children was organized. These dolls can be purchased at children's stores or made by yourself. The simplest doll consists of a shirt body, a head and arms. The body-shirt is cut from fabric according to the puppeteer's hand. The head can be made of different materials: wood, bread, plasticine, a plastic ball, but usually papier-mâché. Or you can use old dolls or rubber toys that you may be planning to throw away. If you take the head of a rubber doll and sew a new costume onto it (so that a child’s hand fits through it), then the doll will come to life, and it can be used in theatrical performances. The doll is put on like this: on the index finger - the head, and on the thumb and middle finger - the arms or paws. If the doll is too heavy for a small child, then a gapit (a wooden rod with a comfortable rounded handle) comes to the rescue. The stage of the parsley theater is a screen. The scenery is placed on it, and the action takes place. Behind the screen there are puppeteers who control the puppets and speak for them. Puppet theater brings children a lot of joy and pleasure, creates a good mood in them and is vividly reflected in their creative games.

4 Stand theater

A stand theater is a surface on which character figures and decorations are attached. This type includes:

1. Theater on flannelgraph (board covered with fabric). To organize this type of activity, you will need an industrial or self-made flannelgraph and figurines-characters of the selected work of art, on which you need to attach Velcro to the back side. Thus, as the plot develops, the child is invited to attach the necessary figures to the flannelgraph.
2. Magnetic is essentially the same as the previous type, only a metal board is used, and magnetic strips are attached to the figures instead of Velcro. The basis and, accordingly, the characters of such a theater come in very different sizes: from a small tabletop version to a full-fledged screen for an auditorium or music hall.
3. Shadow theater in the gardens is the most mysterious and unusual for children to perceive; preschoolers enthusiastically participate in such a game. To organize this type of theater you will need a screen (white fabric stretched vertically), a lantern or table lamp (depending on the size of the screen), and black cardboard figures. Instead of using toy characters, shadows can be created directly with your hand and fingers. This type is called “living shadow theater”.

Shadow theater

Shadow theater is a joyful and welcome entertainment. Children love to watch how figures of people, animals and birds move on a brightly lit screen. A fairy tale, story, poem, song can be accompanied by showing shadows. Expressive performance of musical and literary works, when skillfully demonstrated, evokes a wide variety of emotions in children. The stage of the shadow theater is the screen. The screen frame of the shadow theater is made of wood or thick cardboard and decorated with ornaments. The screen is covered with thin white material. When shown, the shadow theater figures are pressed tightly against the material on the back of the screen. A light source is placed behind the screen. The silhouettes of the figures are made of thin cardboard and painted black on one side. Some parts of the silhouettes (arm, leg, head, etc.) can be made movable (attached with thread or wire). Pulling the string sets the figurine in motion: the arm, head, etc. are lowered or raised. When showing silhouettes, the puppeteer's hand should not be visible. Therefore, each figurine must have an additional part by which this figurine is held. Many interesting fairy tales and other literary works loved by children can be shown in the shadow theater. Theater on flannelgraph

Children listen and watch the illustrative display with flannelgraph with great interest. They are amazed by the unusualness of the spectacle: the pictures do not fall, they stay on the board like magic. Older children immediately begin to become interested in the technique of making pictures and the flannelgraph itself. Children are even more surprised when the teacher tells them that they themselves can show such a picture theater to the kids. Children enthusiastically begin to prepare for the upcoming performance. For illustrative display with flannelograph by older children, we can recommend the following literary works: “Toys” by A. Barto, “Toys” by A. Akhundova, “What is good and what is bad?” V. Mayakovsky, “Merry Count” by S. Marshak, “They Gave You Nothing” by N. Naydenova, “Tanya Got Lost” by Z. Alexandrova, “Once Upon a Time There Lived a Baby Elephant” by G. Tsyferov, “Ladder” by E. Shabal. Children should know these works by heart. Each work can be told and shown by several children at once. For this type of theater you will need a piece of plywood covered with soft flannel (preferably in two layers) - this is the screen. You can draw pictures for display yourself (these are plots or characters from fairy tales, stories), or you can cut them out of old books that can no longer be restored. They are glued onto thin cardboard, and flannel is also glued to the back side. These pictures can be laid out and moved on the table, and if you attach a stick (gapit) to the figure, you can perform a performance using the edge of the table as a screen. Another option is also possible: a thread is attached to the top of the picture (in this case the picture is drawn on both sides) and the picture is moved near the surface of the floor, table….

5 Floor theater

Floor theater uses puppets. Making them yourself is quite difficult, so most often they are purchased in specialized stores. Due to this feature, this type of theatrical activity is rarely carried out in kindergartens. But it is the puppet theater that evokes a storm of emotions and delight in preschoolers. Since children do not yet understand the mechanism of action of such dolls, children imagine that the toys themselves have “come to life”. It is this element of “miracle”, “fairy tale” that contributes to the emergence of positive emotions in preschoolers.

Puppet theater

These dolls have one end of the threads attached to the head, arms, legs, and torso, and the other to the vagina. The vaga is a tool for controlling the puppet: by controlling the vaga, the actor makes the puppet move. These dolls promote the development of coordination of movements, help the child learn to concentrate attention on one object, and develop the flexibility of fingers and hands.

Mastering puppets.

At stage 1, the teacher introduces children to a puppet doll. She can dance, approach each child, and talk to him.

At stage 2, an exercise with “Funny Shoes” is recommended.

Funny shoes are a tool for preparing to drive puppets, as well as for developing hand coordination. “Funny shoes” are easy to make yourself: you need to take a small stick, attach thin ropes to both ends. Bags with weights in the form of shoes are sewn to the ends of the ropes.

Sequence of exercises:

1. Rearrange the shoes one by one, holding the shoe with 2 hands.

2. Rearrange the shoes one by one, holding the shoe with one hand.

3. One shoe goes around the other. The vaga is held with both hands, the hands move as the vaga rotates.

4. One shoe goes around the other in a semicircle and returns. The vaga is held with one hand.

5. Both shoes jump at the same time. The vaga is held with both hands.

6. Both shoes jump at the same time. The vaga is held with one hand.

7. Rotate the shoes, i.e., use both hands to rotate the shoe clockwise, then back. It turns out to be a pinwheel.

At the 3rd stage, the game “Walk with my toy” is played. Children with puppets walk to cheerful music, and then pass their toy to another child.

At stage 4 – performance. To music of a different nature, children manipulate dolls, performing one at a time and observing all stages of the performance (exit-performance-bow-exit).

6 Living Puppet Theater

But more often than others, a “live” puppet theater is organized in kindergarten. Such activities can be carried out as a lesson on the development of speech, the surrounding world, learning a foreign language, as well as during leisure time. In addition, a live theater production can be dedicated to a holiday, for example, Maslenitsa or New Year.

The following types of described gaming activities are distinguished:

• masque;
• theater of giant puppets.

The latter is most often carried out as a leisure activity in a preschool educational institution. The roles of giant dolls are played either by adults or older preschoolers. Younger children can only act as spectators.

Then the mask theater is suitable for children of any age. Even the youngest pupils have the opportunity to “reincarnate” into the hero of a fairy tale. The teacher can invite the children to retell a story the kids love in such an unusual way or prepare a full-fledged performance for their parents.

Preschoolers can make masks for the upcoming performance on their own under the guidance of a teacher, for example, during classes on artistic and aesthetic development or during leisure activities.

Scarf dolls

These dolls are called so because they are made of scarves. A scarf is attached to the doll's head, and elastic bands are sewn to its edges.

The head is attached to the puppeteer’s neck, and elastic bands are attached to the hands. Scarf dolls are convenient because they allow the puppeteer to move and dance freely.

Shawl butterfly dolls are made of light gauze scarves, which are gathered in the center with a soft elastic band. An elastic band is attached to the hands. And the edges of the scarf fall to the backs of the hands. If you make smooth strokes with your brushes, the edges of the scarf will fly up like the wings of a butterfly. Butterfly dolls develop flexibility of the hands and strengthen the muscles of the fingers and elbow joints.

Mastering scarf dolls.

At stage 1, children get acquainted with a butterfly doll, dressed in the hands of the teacher.

At stage 2, children perform the “butterfly” exercise: the wrist of one hand is placed on the wrist of the other hand at a palm-down angle. The fingers are pressed tightly against each other and move up and down, like the wings of a butterfly.

At stage 3, a theatrical game “the moth flew” is held.

Role-playing theater

This is a theater where children take on the role of a chosen character. Children, with the help of an adult or independently, act out poems, riddles, short fairy tales, and stage songs. For better visibility, children need costumes. You can buy them in a store or sew them yourself. In kindergarten, in each group or at home, it is advisable to have a costume room, where costumes are sewn by the hands of parents and children. If you don’t know how to sew, then together with your children make masks of various characters, decorations and props.

Masque

.Masks-caps are made according to the size of the performer’s head. These can be knitted hats or characters drawn on cardboard, which are attached with an elastic band around the head.

7 Dolls for the theater in preschool educational institutions from scrap materials

Preschoolers really enjoy making their own character dolls from unusual materials for theatrical games. What can such attributes be made of? A teacher who practices a creative approach to work is able to make figures from the most unexpected materials. For example, a paper theater is the easiest and fastest way to make homemade characters.

You can also use wooden ice cream sticks, covering them with felt, foil, or colored self-adhesive film.

Theater on an egg

.We glued stickers based on the fairy tale “Ryaba the Hen” onto the Kinder Surprise capsule. In addition, you can buy wooden blank eggs and paint them with fairy-tale characters.

Origami Theater

.- these are paper figurines of fairy-tale characters. For the convenience of puppeteering, we attached them to balloon sticks

Theater on sticks

To make this theater you will need sticks and character silhouettes made from cardboard. The secret of the toys is that each silhouette is attached to a stick and the character is activated by turning it. Theater on a stick is interesting for children not only because it is very easy to make, but also because the actions can be depicted behind a screen or while moving freely around the room.

Kulachkovy Theater

This toy is interesting for children because it is dynamic. The head can rotate because it is attached to a stick, which is clamped in the puppeteer's fist and brought out through a hole in the dress. When driving the doll, two hands are involved. A toy is put on the fist of the right hand, and it drives the character, and with the left hand you can turn the doll’s head using a wand. To make a puppet for a fist theater, you need to make a pattern of all the details of the character, cut them out of fabric and sew them. Then fill the head tightly with cotton wool or foam rubber so that it is voluminous, tighten it tighter near the neck and put the resulting head on a stick. (Reinforce the stick with the same thread as the neck, wrapping it around it several times.) At the end of the work, the remaining parts are sewn to the head.

The first do-it-yourself puppet theater - printable templates

Traditional fabric dolls are more difficult to care for and are not suitable for all children. But any child can handle paper products. Place a cone with a picture on the finger, suitable for each child.

It is advisable to introduce the little ones to simpler fairy tales:

1. Teremok.
2. Kolobok.
3. Chicken Ryaba.
4. Turnip.

We will need:

• scissors;
• Printer;
• PVA glue.

All templates must be printed, cut out and connected together. Fairy tale “Teremok”.

An audio tale will make the task of voicing paper characters easier. You will only need to carry out what you hear.

Sock puppet

Original dolls are made from ordinary children's socks.

To make it you will need a sock, cardboard, a small skein of thick thread or yarn, pieces of fabric for the mouth, sewing thread and buttons, and a glue gun. You can take a sock in a plain color or with a pattern, polka dots or stripes - all this will create the image of a future toy.

We make a blank for the mouth from cardboard. To do this, fold a cardboard rectangle 7 cm wide and 20 cm long in half. We round the corners along the width. From the fabric for the inside of the mouth we cut out a blank according to this template.

Trim the toe of the sock. We cut off the edges along the edge of the workpiece. Glue the cardboard blank inside the sock using a glue gun. At the same time, we fold the edges of the fabric onto the cardboard. Glue the fabric interior on top.

Making a hairstyle for the puppet. Take thread or yarn and wrap it around your hand several times. Tie in the middle and cut the ends. If you spread your fingers wide, you will get a long hairstyle. Sew the hairstyle to the sock.

Let's make eyes. We take two buttons and sew them to the sock, overlapping one on top of the other. You can use ready-made eyes or ones drawn and cut out of cardboard. You can complement the image with any details, make eyes from balls of cotton wool or add decorative elements.

Paper puppet theater “Walkers”

This kind of theater is very popular with young children; for such a theater you need your favorite characters and a couple of holes.

Believe me, children will happily play such games.

And if you invite friends over, it will be even more fun to play.

You will also receive samples of walkers of your favorite characters to your e-mail address.

Felt doll

Will need

• Sketch of a puppet toy.
• Two sheets of felt, A4 size.
• Small pieces of colored felt.
• Thread and needle.
• Glue gun.
• A sheet of thin cardboard.

We start work by creating a pattern. To do this, draw the sketch onto a sheet of cardboard and cut it out. You will get the main pattern of the figure and individual small details: eyes, muzzle, palms, tummy, ears. The number of details depends on the choice of sketch of the puppet hero.

Then we transfer all the details onto felt. We select the color scheme according to our taste or the content of the fairy tale. The hare can be white, gray or pink, and the fox yellow or orange. If you are doing a craft with your child, let him choose what color the characters in your play will be.

We cut out the parts and pre-assemble the toy, placing all the parts in the places where they should be. If the result is satisfactory, we begin the final assembly. First, we make one main piece out of felt. We sew on all the parts that can be sewn. We sew with a buttonhole stitch. We glue small parts with a glue gun. We put all the parts together in accordance with the sketch.

If the toy has ears, we attach them last. To do this, we fold the two main parts with the right sides facing inward. We apply the ears in such a way that the edges of the part coincide with the edges of other parts, and the tips of the ears look inward. We sew all the details along the edge with a buttonhole stitch and turn the toy inside out. The glove puppet is ready, and the ears will stick out funny on the top of the head.

Table theater for senior group

When a child is well versed in the plots of longer fairy tales like “The Three Little Pigs,” it is worth expanding the supply of theater sets.

The “Three Little Pigs” finger toys will surely be loved by little ones due to their bright design and ease of use. The set also comes with a script that will serve as a cheat sheet for older children.

The Masha and the Bear walker will save time on making additional decorations.

The Puss in Boots set comes with a script and the figures are reversible. This bright set will be a delight for your child or a great gift for friends.

For any paper puppet theater it is necessary to make a stage. For the finger version you will need a tall structure, which is easiest to make from an ordinary cardboard box. Make the design foldable, then it will be convenient to store.

A low stage is suitable for flat figures. It is best to store paper puppet theater kits in one place. A large plastic or cardboard box with a lid, divided into several sections, will greatly facilitate the storage and use of the figures. Such a “chest” is not convenient for everyone.

Replace it with a flat “case”. However, you won’t find a ready-made option; you’ll have to tinker with the cardboard yourself. But the result will be a convenient case that can easily fit under a bed, sofa, or in the gap between the closet and the wall. Cover it with self-adhesive paper or similar material, then it will not get too dirty.

Wooden puppet theater for children

Honestly, we have different types of theaters at home, for example this is a wooden one .

My kids love it very much, because it is so funny and exciting when I show them a fairy tale and they sit and listen. Now I have an older son, he can show and tell fairy tales himself. Just think, this is very cool, because while playing, a child learns to retell his favorite fairy tale, build a dialogue, etc.

I think that all preschool children, as well as most children of primary school age, will not remain indifferent to such theaters. And if you come up with your own fairy tales with a funny plot and an intriguing ending, then it can actually turn out to be a real holiday for a child.

The simplest version of a do-it-yourself puppet theater is a paper one. It's easy to make it yourself. Well, or together with the child.

DIY glove puppet

In reality, there are a lot of puppet theaters that can be built. Even at almost no cost. You just need to use your wits and do it! You can sew it, for example.

Or you can learn to knit and knit these cute little characters:

Honestly, I used to knit well, but now I don’t have enough time for it all. But I never liked sewing. But, as an option, you can also create a theater for those who love this business.

Although here is the simplest master for you - a class on sewing a puppet theater from fabric using gloves. Anyone can do it, even those who do not know the art of sewing.

We will need:

• household gloves, knitted - 2 pcs., buttons for the eyes - 2 pcs., thread, scissors, braid, stationery knife

Stages of work:

1. Take the first glove and steam the seam thread on the cuff, it is usually red or yellow. Tuck the little finger, thumb and index finger in so that they do not come out, sew them up. You should end up with a head with ears and a hare neck. Sew the bases of the ears to prevent your fingers from getting in there.

2. Now take the next glove and hide your ring finger in it, sew up the hole. Place your middle and index fingers together and now place the hare's head on them.

3. Sew the head to the neck. To hide the seam on your neck, tie it with a bow or tie in the shape of a butterfly. Sew button eyes and embroider a muzzle, or you can draw it with a marker. You can decorate a bunny using fluff or knitted threads by gluing a cute forelock to his head.

Secrets of successful theater productions

How to make a paper theater more durable? After all, paper parts often tear and become unusable. And, most likely, this will happen after the first production of your play. Here is another option for making a theater at home, which, although more time-consuming, will last longer.

The first stage of production remains unchanged - we find templates (you can even draw them yourself if there are no ready-made ones). We print them on a color printer. Then we cut out the largest decorations, glue them to cardboard and additionally seal them with tape - this will add strength to them, and they will not get dirty.

Then we start making fairy tale heroes. At this stage we will need additional materials, namely:

• Small plastic jars for yoghurts like Rastishka or Agusha.
• Wooden ice cream sticks (if you don’t have them, plastic forks or spoons will also work).
• Stationery knife.

We cut out the characters and glue them onto a cardboard base. If your paper is quite thick, then you don’t have to do this. But most often, thicker paper is not “grabbed” by the printer for printing. Keep this in mind and try using different paper weights in your printer.

Be sure to tape it with tape to prevent the parts from fraying. Then we take ice cream sticks or plastic spoons and tape them with tape to the back of the paper blank so that the stick is “behind” the hero and has a free part at the bottom (3-4 cm). Using a utility knife, we make two cuts on the bottom of the yogurt jar - you should get a cross - and then simply insert the stick with the doll into this hole. All is ready! You can start playing!

As you can see, a home theater is a great way to diversify a child’s leisure time without much expense, because printing and cutting out the templates is not at all difficult. In addition, this is a good option for spending time together, which children always like, and also strengthens family relationships.

Paper figures

Just make heroes out of cardboard. You can use colored paper. You can choose any product sizes. Kids will love creating a paper puppet theater with their own hands.

If a fairy-tale hero breaks, it’s easy to replace it with a new one. You will need special templates that need to be cut out. Two parts of one character are glued together.
