Do-it-yourself three little pigs table theater. DIY tabletop theater based on the fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs. Theater of glove toys
Surely the vast majority of parents and teachers of kindergartens or after-school groups have thought about the question of how to more interestingly organize the leisure time of the children whose upbringing they are busy with. Popular modern children's entertainment includes tabletop puppets or puppets, thanks to which you can organize exciting activities for a group of children or together with them. theatrical performance, which is based on some folk or literary fairy tale. A good example is the Three Little Pigs puppet theater.
Wanting to involve a child or group of children in self-production fairy-tale heroes or the scenery that will make up the “Three Little Pigs” tabletop theater, you can adopt a modeling technique that is accessible to children of all ages. This type of creativity will also become in a great way development of fine motor skills of children's hands.
How to mold characters for a puppet theater, each of their creators can decide independently. The work of creating fairy-tale figurines you can do:
- from plasticine;
- from plastic mastic;
- from salt dough;
- from polymer clay.
To get each pig from plasticine, you need to sculpt an oblong body and a spherical head, two pairs of legs from this pale pink material, and form triangular ears and a spring-like tail from small fragments.
The figure of a wolf made of plasticine should be somewhat larger. Here it is advisable to combine gray and black shades of material. Black plasticine is recommended to be used for sculpting ears, nose, and paw claws.
Each plasticine hero can be decorated with fragments of the same material, imitating clothes, shoes, and hats.
A figurine of a hero such as a wolf or a pig made of polymer clay can be sculpted under the guidance of adults, as it requires the addition of acrylic paints to the material. If you choose salt dough to make the figures, you will also need the help of adults to control the baking of the molded toys in the oven.
We use f etr
Having chosen the fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs”, we play theater using felt toys. For the performance according to this folk work The characters can be made from both natural felt and synthetic felt, which is popular today and widely represented on the handicraft market.
A felt theater can be made without any special frills. Felt figures of three little pigs and a wolf can be attached, for example, to cocktail straws for easy play.
To make characters this way you will need:
- gray and pink felt;
- small contrasting felt pieces, including black, for clothing fairy-tale characters and designing the wolf’s face;
- colored and black threads;
- four cocktail straws.
The bodies and heads of toys are formed from paired parts, inside of which the legs are placed. The parts are connected step by step with threads selected by color, using a front overlock stitch.
Eyes and mouths are embroidered with black thread. To form the wolf's nose, you can use a piece of black felt.
At the end of the work, a tube is inserted into the hole left at the bottom of each character’s body. If desired, it can be secured with silicone glue.
The torsos of each theatrical puppets You can also assemble it in such a way that the holes through which the toy is controlled are at the top and bottom. Fingers can be inserted into the lower symmetrical holes, thereby simulating pig's feet and allowing the doll to move during the performance.
Finger characters
For finger theater Felt is also considered the most successful material.
The models of the three little pigs and the wolf can be very different. The main condition when sewing finger toys, from which you will create a puppet theater with your own hands, there is a cavity in the lower part of each figure, thanks to which the toy can be put on your finger.
The felt theater “3 Little Pigs” can also be tabletop. For the purpose of it self-creation we recommend using step-by-step master class below.
Make it from cardboard bases of household rolls of food foil, film or parchment.
In addition to such a stable foundation, you will need:
- pieces of gray and pink felt;
- rectangular pieces of textile with print;
- toy eyes;
- beads or buttons;
- multi-colored grosgrain ribbons;
- scissors;
- thread with needle;
- silicone glue.
The wolf doll is made from a larger roller, which must be wrapped in gray felt. Connect the edges of the fabric with a hidden seam.
Piglets are created from smaller rolls covered with textiles with a delicate print.
To decorate the faces and paws of each toy, we use the patterns of these parts suggested below.
At the end of the work, each piglet is tied around his neck with a grosgrain ribbon folded into a bow.
Funny figures for the theater are ready.
Theater of glove toys
For a theater at home or a performance with a screen in a children's institution, a glove puppet is successfully used.

Make a printout of the pattern shown in the photo.
According to it, it is sewn from paired parts made of fleece or faux fur, each glove puppet.
When the baking paper runs out, all that remains is a cardboard tube. I decided not to throw it away and make dolls out of it for a home puppet theater. From one tube we got four characters at once - a wolf and three pigs. This is exactly how many dolls are needed to stage the fairy tale “The Three Little Pigs”.

Hello!
I wanted to make some scenery for the “Three Little Pigs” finger theater, namely, the houses that the piglets made in a fairy tale, I came up with it right away, but it wasn’t so quick to implement! With the first straw for Nif-Nif, the decision immediately came to make it from cesal. The second of the twigs for Nuf-Nuf, I had to rack my brains, but I came up with an idea, knitted the twigs and the roof, like from logs, well, I liked the result, but with the third of the bricks for Naf-Naf I had to... think, but also with this task I did it. As a basis, in the first two houses, I took empty cups, glued them end to end, and cut off the bottom of one, and the third one was not so difficult to come up with, an empty box of sweets (truffles) came in very handy! Then I figured out how to knit the roof, sides, and window (the bottom cut off from one cup). I had multi-colored wire at hand, just three colors and that was it. The brick one had to be sewn together in detail first, and then put on the box as a base and glued instantly. The threads were different in both quality and texture, fortunately there are a lot of them in the house.
If anyone is interested or has questions, ask, I’ll tell you in detail, I’ll be sure to answer all your questions! If there are any comments or suggestions, I am ready to listen to them and take them into account; I will take them into account in other works.
Three piglets

I'm glad to introduce you master class on making coffee toys from Irina Ledovskaya. These are the symbols of the future year 2019 of the pig according to the Chinese calendar.
Coffee toys “3 Little Pigs”
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Plump, well-fed and always in good mood. This mood, along with the coffee aroma emanating from the piglets, is transmitted to the house in which the brothers live.
To make fun coffee toys you will need the following materials:
- white dense fabric such as calico;
- padding polyester for stuffing toys;
- instant coffee;
- ground cinnamon;
- vanilla sugar;
- PVA glue;
- acrylic paints;
- black gel pen.
You will also need synthetic brushes and a toothbrush, scissors, etc.
The piglet pattern can be redrawn directly from the computer: attach a sheet of paper to the monitor and with a simple pencil circle the template. The height of the piglets is about 16 cm.
It is advisable to immediately make the pattern from thin cardboard; it is more convenient to use than paper.
Fold the fabric in half and trace the pig three times on one side.
Use a sewing machine to sew both layers of fabric together along the marked lines. We begin to sew between the legs and immediately finish the seam, about 2 cm short of the beginning of the stitching. We will turn the toys inside out and stuff them through the holes left.
We cut out the stitched blanks, departing from the lines around about 0.5 cm - these are allowances. We do not cut the threads close at the beginning and at the end of the lines, so that during further work with the workpieces the seams will not unravel. Next, we cut out teeth on the allowances, which serve to ensure that the seams on the finished products do not wrinkle. We do not make cloves against the holes left.
We turn the piglets out using the closed ends of scissors or some kind of stick.
We fill the turned-out blanks with fluffed padding polyester.
Having achieved the desired shape of the toys, sew up the hole and attach a thread between the ears.
We make a coloring solution: pour a teaspoon of instant coffee into 70 mg of boiling water, add half a teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and vanilla sugar. Mix well and pour in one and a half teaspoons of PVA glue. Mix thoroughly again and you can start painting the toys with the still warm solution. We use an old one as a brush toothbrush. Use it to rub the coffee solution over the surface of the toys so that only the fabric is wetted and the padding polyester inside does not get wet. This can be achieved by putting a small amount of solution on the brush and quickly rubbing it over the fabric.
Using threads attached between the ears, we tie the toys to the oven grate of the gas stove. Dry the piglets over low heat for about 15 minutes. If after this time there are still wet spots, dry the products with the heat turned off. Due to the glue in the coloring composition, the surface of the “baked” toys becomes hard and rough.
You can easily draw a drawing on such a surface with a pencil. We draw the details of the images of piglets. Sketches are possible appearance The characters must first be drawn on paper, and then transferred to fabric.
Next, we paint clothes, sweets, eyes, hooves of any kind with brushes acrylic paint(maybe not intended for fabric). Just remember to dry the paint layer before adding the peas and pupils on top. To ensure that the peas are the same size, apply them reverse side tassels. Small dots Apply with the tip of a toothpick and leave the toys to dry.
The finishing touch is black gel pen We trace the details along the contour and draw eyelashes. Coffee toys are ready!
Within a few months, the piglets will smell like coffee and create a positive mood with their images. Caring for toys is only supposed to be dry.”
