Fairytale crafts. Do-it-yourself voluminous paper applique based on the Russian folk tale Kolobok for elementary school children. Figures of fairy-tale heroes. Master Class
All children love fairy tales. Sometimes the characters that kids want to play with are not on sale or parents don’t have enough money for toys. Therefore, homemade ones will come to the rescue; they are quite simple to create, especially if a child helps you. The most valuable thing when making toys with your baby is the development of his abilities and imagination. Any material can be useful: plasticine, cones, fabric and paper.
Dragon
Fairy-tale characters can turn out colorful and bright. Even schoolchildren make them with their own hands, without the help of elders, using plasticine. This is the most convenient material for children's modeling. You can try to sculpt the Serpent Gorynych from a fairy tale, and at the same time give him a kind smile and a gentle character. You will need to roll a lot of balls from green plasticine: from one we will make a body, three will go on the heads, four on the paws. Each of them must be slightly stretched and rolled into sausages. Now all that remains is to attach all the elements to the back. But that’s not all: we create wings from two balls, attach eyes to the heads, mark the nostrils with a match, cut through the mouth and put a scarlet tongue in place. The snake will turn out to be very kind. And rightly so: there is enough evil in the world.
Kolobok
Crafts fairy-tale heroes there are different ones. For example, these could be characters from Russian folk tales and full-length films.
It is recommended to make toys using simple, easy methods together with children. younger age, and with those who are older, you can try more complex technologies. Whatever hero you have to make, the main thing is that he is kind. For example, a smiling and funny kolobok from a Russian folk tale can be made from ordinary threads. To do this you need to take balloon, glue, threads and colored paper.
We inflate the ball, and the color does not matter. The jar of glue should be pierced with a needle; a needle and thread will pass through this hole, lubricated with sticky mass on all sides. Then we wind the thread around the ball: everyone chooses the density themselves. After there are a lot of threads, the workpiece needs to be dried. When the process is complete, the ball must be pierced.
Then you need to pull it through the hole between the threads. The ball can still serve and please the baby if you do not pierce it, but simply carefully untie it and let the air out of it. All that remains is to glue on the eyes, mouth and cheeks, which are cut out of colored paper. You can add a hat. That's it: the mischievous and funny bun is ready.
Cheburashka
How to make fairy-tale heroes with your own hands? Now we'll tell you. For example, we propose to make the cute and beloved character of E. Uspensky, Cheburashka. To create it, the following materials will be useful: cardboard (only necessarily corrugated) in two colors corresponding to the natural shades of Cheburashka: yellow and brown. You will need several types of glue: PVA and hot.
The body and head of the toy are made in the same way. For them you will need four parts: two front and the same number of back. The front sides are made first. They are rolled out of cardboard yellow color. Add two rows of brown cardboard on top. To add volume, slightly squeeze out the middle of the parts and fix them with glue. This will be the face and tummy of Cheburashka. The back parts of the head and body are brown. They need to be glued together. The legs, arms and ears are made in the same way. Using cut out individual parts, a characteristic face with eyes, nose and mouth is created.
Pinocchio
It's rare to find wooden toys in any home. Only real craftsmen create beautiful and original wooden fairy-tale characters. It’s difficult to make them with your own hands, but quite possible. If, before working on a character, you read a fairy tale about the wonderful boy Pinocchio with your children, they will be very happy to help in finishing some of the details.
For beginning craftsmen, the softest types of wood are suitable. These include aspen and linden. The toy's head, body, arms and legs are made from solid elements. All small parts can be made from leftovers. Then they need to be sanded using Fasteners for wooden Pinocchio parts can be of two types: wire and hinged. The first connection will be effective for small toys. If you are planning a volumetric one, you will have to work hard on connecting its parts. Her nose, eyes, hair, expressive hands and bright clothes will bring life to life. This Pinocchio, made and assembled with your own hands, will become a favorite toy not only for children, but also for grandchildren. This toy will be unique and will be passed on to future generations.
There is no need to specifically look for soft toy lovers. Even adults still buy furry ones for themselves. fairy tale characters as well as for your kids. Soft toys are sewn during school clubs. For children involved in such creativity, ready-made kits are sold.
Origami
But the simplest material from which you can make crafts for fairy-tale characters is, of course, paper. You can completely come up with original patterns for the entire fairy tale yourself or find ready-made ones. In any case, there is an opportunity to show creativity and imagination by coloring the elements and details in your own way. In this way you can make Karabas-Barabas, Pierrot and Malvina. And then act out a whole play with friends. It will work out puppet show Houses. If you want to continue demonstrating your talents, you can consider various ways, how to make Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine and others magical characters. Fairytale princesses can be created from ordinary colored cardboard. To do this, we roll one colored sheet, blue or pink, into the shape of a cone - this will be our dress. From another part of the cardboard we cut out the torso and head, attach them to the skirt. Then we draw the face. Glue threads instead of hair. As a result, we will get a gentle Cinderella or a beautiful Rapunzel.
DIY crafts are the most The best way child development creativity, imagination and fantasy. Therefore, if you have a problem free time and you want to spend it together with your child - get creative.

Chukovsky K.I. - biography
His work is diverse, which is why Korney Ivanovich is called a children's writer, journalist, Russian Soviet poet, publicist, translator, literary critic, literary critic.
But the real name of the writer is Nikolai Korneychukov, and Korney Chukovsky is literary pseudonym. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1882 on March 19 (31). The mother of the future writer, peasant woman Ekaterina Osipovna Korneychukova, was a servant in the family of his father Emmanuel Solomonovich Levenson.
As is now commonly said, they lived in a civil marriage; it was not officially registered. Nikolai is the second child in this family. Marusya was born before him. After three years of civil marriage, the father abandoned this “illegitimate family” and married a woman who was from “his circle.”
The mother of the future writer moved with her children to Odessa. He spent his childhood here and in Nikolaev.
My creative activity Korey Ivanovich started at the Odessa News newspaper, for which he wrote articles. Then he married Maria Borisovna Goldfeld and together with her in 1903 he went to London as a correspondent for Odessa News.
Chukovsky independently learned English from a self-instruction manual, was the only English speaker in the publishing house, so he was sent to work in London.
The correspondent was promised a lot of money for those times - 100 rubles a month. This business trip contributed to the further development of the writer, because here Chukovsky was able to read books by English writers in the original; the writer’s biography was supplemented by the fact that he studied the works of Thackeray and Dickens.
But upon his arrival in Odessa at the end of 1904, even more global events awaited him - the revolution of 1905.
Korey Ivanovich seriously took up criticism and after the revolution of 1917 published two books - about Mayakovsky and Akhmatova, about Blok. At the same time, he began many years of work on Nekrasov, his favorite poet. And back in 1908, he published works on Chekhov, Blok, Balmont, Bryusov, Kuprin, Sergeev-Tsensky, Artsybashev, Gorky, Merezhkovsky and others.

In the 60s, Chukovsky decided to write a Bible for children. But at that time the authorities carried out anti-religious propaganda, and the project did not materialize. At first he was told not to write the words “God” or “Jews” in the book. Korney Ivanovich replaced the word “God” with “Wizard Yahweh.”
The book was printed, but did not see the light of day, since the authorities destroyed the entire circulation. This is what Chukovsky, whose biography is full of drama, experienced. After all, he lost his beloved daughter Masha, who died in childhood. The writer often mentions her in his works, calling her Murochka.
In addition to her, the poet had a daughter, Lydia, who also became a writer. Son - translator and prose writer - Nikolai and son Boris, who died during the Great Patriotic War.
Streets were named in memory of the great writer, monuments were erected to him and the heroes of his works. different cities. An asteroid is named after Chucocolla.

Lydia Chukovskaya (about her father Chukovsky Korney Ivanovich)
If you didn’t go anywhere in the summer and stayed in Moscow, then it’s time to go with your children on a wonderful excursion to the Chukovsky House Museum, reread with your child your favorite fairy tales that Korney Ivanovich wrote, or read new ones that your child does not yet know.
The name of Korney Ivanovich is known not only in Russia, but far beyond its borders. Many of his books have been translated into various languages peace.

Another equally interesting fact: the real name and surname of the writer is Nikolai Vasilievich Korneychukov. Chukovsky Korney Ivanovich is a writer's pseudonym. And it is by this name that all the children know him.
Excursion to the House-Museum of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky
The Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky Museum is located very close to Moscow, in the town of writers, in Peredelkino near Moscow. You can also get there public transport, and in your car. In a picturesque town, surrounded by pine and birch trees, there is a house-museum of a beloved children's writer.
Before entering the museum grounds, take a look at the brickwork-fence with your children, which is located opposite the museum gate, across the road. There are plot pictures based on the fairy tales of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky. True, it is clear from everything that they were painted a long time ago and, apparently, also have not been updated for a long time: the paint is cracked in some places, faded and peeling. But it is quite possible to consider episodes from fairy tales. This is some kind of preparation for the excursion. Because, without even entering the museum, already here, at the gate, you can plunge into the writer’s work and play the game with your children: “Guess what the artist drew?” The children will vying with each other to recite poems from the works of Korney Ivanovich to you by heart. Ask what word Aibolit repeated when he was hurrying to Africa. Who put out the sea in the fairy tale “Confusion”? What is the favorite delicacy of crocodiles from the fairy tale “Telephone”? What did the Cluttering Fly treat the butterfly? Amazing! Everyone is ready for the excursion!
Let's go! Immediately, in the yard stands a big tree, on which “shoes, sandals and boots have already grown.” Don’t forget to tell the children before the excursion that Korney Ivanovich has a wonderful, funny, very positive poem “The Miracle Tree”. You can read lines from the poem at the improvised miracle tree, which is located in the courtyard of the house-museum:
Like ours at the gate
The miracle tree is growing.
Miracle, miracle, miracle, miracle
Wonderful!
Not the leaves on it,
Not flowers on it,
And stockings and shoes,
Like apples!
The miracle tree is " magic tree", on which instead of fruits grow sandals and shoes, boots and shoes, which can be seen right near the writer’s house!
The poem was written by Chukovsky in 1926 for his daughter Murochka.
And if you are lucky and your excursion is led by Uncle Volodya, then the children will certainly remember it long years. The guide is simply wonderful!
Before the excursion, you read fairy tales, got acquainted with Chukovsky’s new works, but what to do after the excursion?

Now you need to print out pictures of shoes on a printer or draw boots, shoes, sandals, shoes yourself. Color it and hang it on the branches with a string. The miracle tree is ready! It can serve as a decoration for a child’s room!
The second version of the “Miracle Tree” is made from paper cylinders
What do you need?
- One paper cylinder (you can make it yourself from thick paper or take one ready-made from toilet paper),
- colored paper,
- shoes drawn or printed on a printer,
- scissors,
- glue.
How to do?
Make a tree crown out of colored paper and glue shoes to it (or better yet, draw and color). Glue the crown to the cylinder. The miracle tree is ready in 5-10 minutes!
Everything is very simple, fast and beautiful! After the beautiful craft is made, you can play!
Play the game " Fairytale names. Who is this?". Prepare pictures that depict Aibolit, Fedora, the shark, Barmaley and other characters from the works of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky.
You ask the question: “Who is Aibolit?” The child looks for a card with a picture of Aibolit, points to it and says: “Doctor.”
"Barmaley?" - “Robber.”
“Fedora?” - "Grandmother".
“Patter?” - "Fly".
Craft-toy “Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodilovich”
In which of Chukovsky's fairy tales is the crocodile the hero? “Crocodile”, “Cockroach”, “Stolen Sun”, “Confusion”, “Barmaley”, “Moidodyr”, “Telephone”.
They say that before becoming a children's writer, Chukovsky did a lot of translations, wrote articles, and was a literary critic. One day he got sick little son. At this time they were traveling on the train. The boy was capricious and crying. Then Korney Ivanovich began to tell him a fairy tale. “Once upon a time there was a crocodile, he walked the streets.” The boy calmed down, and the next day he asked his father to tell him the same fairy tale again...
This is how the fairy tale “Crocodile” appeared, with its main character - Krokodilovich!
Once upon a time there lived a Crocodile.
He walked the streets
Spoke in Turkish -
Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodilovich!
Shall we make Krokodilovich, who was defeated by Vanya Vasilchikov?
What do you need?
- A picture or drawing of a crocodile,
- scissors,
- glue,
- 2 wooden skewers or juice straws.
How to do it?
Draw or print a picture of a crocodile. Color with your child with bright colors.
Let your Krokodilovich be cheerful, kind and perky! Cut it along the outline. Cut the picture into 2 parts. Next, you need to bend a colored sheet of paper like an accordion and glue two wooden sticks (skewers or juice tubes) onto it. It turned out to be an accordion.
For an accordion, you need to take thick paper so that it retains its shape well and stretches easily. Now you need to glue the accordion to the halves of the crocodile picture. What a fun toy it turned out to be!
Now I want to run and have fun!
Play the outdoor game “Crocodile and Turtles.” The leading crocodile is selected. The rest are turtles. The turtles slowly walk around the crocodile's house and say a teaser:
— The Nile flowed among the sands,
The crocodile buried itself in the mud.
We are not afraid of the crocodile:
He's very cute today!
Hearing the words “very nice,” the crocodile runs out of his house and tries to catch up and grease the fleeing turtles. Whoever the crocodile catches becomes a crocodile and the game repeats again.
To play catch-up, you can learn a rhyme.
- Somehow a little crocodile
He swam away from his parents.
He went on a spree and got lost
And I was confused with fear!
We will help, so be it,
Come out - you'll drive!
Craft “The boss of wash basins and the commander of washcloths!”
Many, many decades ago, almost every family had washbasins. If not in the house, then at the dacha. Nowadays, the word washbasin, in general, has fallen out of use; it is practically not used in speech. And our children can learn about the washbasin from Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Moidodyr”.
After reading the fairy tale, make a very easy, unusual and beautiful craft from the fairy tale. Your baby will be happy!
What do you need?
- 2 cardboard boxes,
- colored paper with adhesive backing,
- scissors,
- glue and a little imagination.
How to do it?
Finding two cardboard boxes at home is not at all difficult. To make this craft, you need to cover the boxes with colored paper or simply paint them with gouache. This will be the washbasin body.
Glue two toilet paper cylinders to the body. Decorate to your taste. Glue or draw eyes on the washbasin, make a faucet out of a juice straw, and make a sink out of a yogurt cup.
Add details: hair, hat. Hands - a towel made of a strip of paper.
We have a wonderful head of washbasins! And, of course, your baby will now know why we so often say: “...always and everywhere eternal glory water!
You worked, glued, cut, painted. To rest your fingers, play the finger massage game “Shower”:
More blue cloud (clench and unclench your fists)
Water your hands with water (rub your hands)
Shoulders and elbows, (rub shoulders and elbows)
Fingers and nails, (rub fingers and nails)
And the back of the head and temples, (rub the back of the head and temples)
Chin and cheeks, (rub chin and cheeks)
Three washcloths on the knees, (rub the knees)
Rub the brush well (rub your knees)
Let's rub the girl/boy well, (name). (rub the whole body)
Korney Ivanovich's poems and fairy tales bring children a lot of joy. Today we simply cannot imagine childhood without his fairy tales: without “Aibolit” and “Tsokotukha the Fly,” “Confusion” and “Telephone,” “Moidodyr” and “Fedora’s Grief.” Although, today Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky is considered a controversial children's writer. The attitude of adults towards his work is ambiguous. Children like his heroes, his poems, and adults see in his works either cruelty (“I’ll chop you up like beef. I, glutton, have nothing to feel sorry for you”), or violence (“And at full gallop he cuts off his head”). And the children just laugh merrily. Because they perceive “adult cruelty and violence” as the victory of good over evil - what all fairy tales teach children.
I remember when I first read the fairy tale “Barmaley” to my little son, it made a huge impression on him. He asked to read it every day, and we read it, sometimes 2 times a day. He really, really liked her. When he grew up, he knew it by heart!
