Templates

As an option:)

You can cut out any pictures, laminate them with tape, glue a finger ring on the back or make slits in the figurine, you can string characters onto ice cream sticks, or fold paper figures.

Pictures on cardboard.

Kids love to look at pictures in books, but they are even more happy when the pictures come to life and move. This develops the child’s figurative and spatial perception. To show your child the performance, choose a fairy tale and bright colorful pictures. Pictures for the performance can be transferred from ready-made silhouettes or drawings to paper, or use an old children's book.

It is advisable to place the theater on the table so that there are no windows on its back side. This way, children will better see what is happening on the “stage.”
- When the content of the work is voiced, the character pictures move among the scenery pictures. At the same time, they should be driven without jerking, smoothly, but also without slowing down.
- Pictures should be out of sight for children (from the back of the table), appear during the action from below at the edge of the table and move as necessary.
- When two characters appear at the same time, they are usually placed on the table on two opposite sides and moved to the middle so that they “talk.”
- The character who "speaks" remains in the hand and leans towards the other character or sways slightly from side to side.

Although the pictures are flat, they can move across the table in any direction at different speeds, and most importantly, into the depth of the “scene”. Therefore, you should choose works with a dynamic plot, for example, this story.

About a little kitten

The finger theater is very convenient at home. There is always an old glove at home from which you cut off the fingers so that your hand is more sensitive. The head of a fairy tale hero or the entire figurine is glued to the fingertip. With the help of a finger theater, you can perform chants, pistols, tell fairy tales, read poetry, or simply play with your child’s fingers. But it should be remembered that the baby should never be forced to play. For example, take his hand and move his fingers when he doesn’t want to. It is better for an adult to start the game, and after a while the child will take part in it.

Finger games develop speech, sense of rhythm, imagination, are fun and provide pleasure for communication.

That is why in folk pedagogy there are many gaming activities using the fingers. For example, “Finger, finger, where have you been?” In this nursery rhyme, the adult touches the child’s fingers: in turn, he presses the index, middle, ring and little fingers to the thumb. To enhance the nursery rhyme effect, you can put paper caps on each finger and draw different faces on them.
