Our mothers and grandmothers constantly make crafts for kindergarten-aged children. What these crafts are not connected with: and with calendar holidays, and with the anniversaries of the organization, and with the events of the year. It’s impossible to list everything.
Fairy-tale heroes
One of the favorite topics is “Do-it-yourself fairy-tale heroes.” Why is this relevant? As easy as pie. Children up to school age Russians read all the time folk tales. Reading occurs not only because it is understandable and close to children, but also because it is easier to educate through a fairy tale than to mutter edifyingly about what is possible, what is good, what is correct. Through a fairy tale, you can unobtrusively and easily make it so that the child does not notice that he is being called to something, is being taught something. He easily gets involved in the process and happily participates in it.
Now imagine that the fairy tale is also accompanied by real heroes. This is just fantastic: baby preschool age develops according to imaginative thinking. It is important for him to see the hero, the action, the image. He does not have developed logical, much less abstract, thinking. But if, along with telling a fairy tale, you offer a hero from this work, then the matter will advance to unattainable heights, and you will simply become the child’s idol.
Fairy-tale characters make it easier to enter into the proposed events. And fairy-tale characters created with your own hands become even more familiar, understandable, and, most importantly, more valuable (after all, “your shirt is closer to your body”).
Let's try to make our own heroes
DIY crafts of fairy-tale characters can be found in literature or from friends. The main thing is not to “drown” in the variety of forms, techniques, and ideas of this direction. Here's what you can use:
- Paper. Available material, cheap, anyone can handle the cutting technology.
- Dough, clay. Don't think this is material for kindergarten age children. There is a place for older people to roam here too.
- Threads, knitting. What the masters of this type of art can’t come up with! You will simply be surprised at what you can knit with threads.
- Tree. How much you can make from this wonderful material! Don't think that Pinocchio is the only wooden character.
- Textile. What not to sew from this very versatile material! People, animals, even just objects, furniture, Natural resources- easily.
- Plastic.
What is there to list? You can take any material that is closer to you, clearer, easier to process and more affordable.
How to make a hero out of paper
Making a fairy-tale hero from paper with your own hands is easy. You understand perfectly well what you will use in your work, especially since you can always choose the simplest, cheapest materials. First of all, we choose a character: Baba Yaga, princess, bunny - whoever. We take scissors, a template (if imagination is tight), and cut out a shape using the template. The hero character is ready to stage a fairy tale.
It can be more complicated. The modular origami technique will require a lot of time and money. Here you will need to add up several tens or hundreds of triangle modules to volumetric figure. But it’s okay, it’s a bad start. The main thing is the ability to connect modules in a circle, and then, where necessary, subtract or add elements in a row. This way you can make figures of a hare, fox, wolf, even an old man and woman.
The quilling technique will require more virtuosity from you. It is very labor-intensive: curls, droplets, “eyes”, plant elements will require you to spend a long time creating beauty. But the work will turn out to be very gentle, elegant, noble.
Most often, parents find it difficult to find time to spend with their children. Then, to make a fairy-tale toy with your own hands for kindergarten (for example), you can fold the paper in half and create a princess, a bunny, or a tree using symmetrical cutting. The baby will have a lot of delight, and you will spend a minimum of resources. Moreover, creating the figures will take a few minutes, which corresponds to the age of a preschooler for concentration and interest in the process. A do-it-yourself fairy-tale hero for kindergarten is interesting, simple and useful.
Let's try to make heroes from dough?
Try it, this process is also very addictive. After all, you can sculpt anything from salt dough. Don't think that you can only make some trinket. In fact, even masterpiece heroes and compositions with very small details and exclusivity of patterns. Yet again, fairy-tale heroes may turn out to be very original and unique. Using one pattern, different craftswomen will recreate completely different things. The same needlewoman does not repeat herself in her works. We don’t think we need to convince you of this. The main thing is to start.
Fairy tale in metal
Do you think it's impossible? Are there not enough excellent blacksmiths in Rus'? What about a flea? An almost reliable fact is how Lefty shoed a flea. True, it is a painstaking task. You can't get by with the small details here. We need scope. This is not suitable for a child of kindergarten age. But it’s worth trying to create a New Year’s fairy-tale hero with your own hands. By the way, the sculpture can also be embodied in ice material. Yes, you yourself saw fairy-tale characters in the squares (especially Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, three horses with a sleigh).
Here, of course, it’s difficult to get by with nail scissors; you need a saw and tools for working with ice. But that doesn't matter either. Your desire to create, to create in front of your child’s eyes, noticing his interest, surprise, and desire to help you, is very important. And when the result is already in reality, there is also an assessment of the child’s help in the work. This is truly worth a lot.
What about the fabric?
Is it possible to create fairy-tale characters with your own hands from fabric? There are no limits to human perfection. Fairy-tale characters can be embodied through the pattern of any living or inanimate object. By the way, how much New Year's costumes You can sew fairy-tale characters from fabric with your own hands! You just have to move forward without stopping there.
Can threads work too?
Oddly enough, but yes. Indeed, even text messages with important data were written from threads (previously it could have been knotted weaving). Why not connect Piglet with Winnie the Pooh and the dog Sonya now?
What heroes can you make?
Absolutely any. The only limit is your imagination. Here are the characters you can make with your own hands:
- Kolobok. The simplest and one of the first characters. This hero can be made from paper (flat, origami, modules) and from threads (knitted, stuffed with synthetic padding; or you can wind threads around a ball to get an openwork Kolobok). You can sculpt a hero from dough, decorating him with some kind of Panama hat.
- Princess Frog. A simple way to make a frog from plasticine. A very profitable option, because imagination can not only tell us that we need to add an arrow and a crown, but also fashion beads. And it will be even more expressive if you dress this “lady” in a royal dress.
- Goby - tar barrel. Homemade wooden toys are rarely found in the house. But such a character is easy to make, even just by taking a cut from a tree. Glue the head, legs to the body, fluff out a tail from threads.
- Baba Yaga. A very common fairy tale character. This image can be sewn from various old scraps. But the face will have to be worked on. It is worth doing it using the stocking sewing technique. To do this, you will need fabric very similar to nylon tights, although you can take the tights themselves. When you fill the hero’s “face” with padding polyester, you can sew on the eyes using large beads or buttons. Embroider the mouth with red threads, and wrap the nose (you need to separate a small part from the middle of the face) with threads matching the color of the fabric.
In short, the choice of hero, material and technique is entirely at your discretion.
Finally
Playing with a child is simply necessary, because this is the only way for a little person to understand the world and himself in it. Socialization occurs from the very beginning early childhood, and the first with whom the child associates himself are, among other things, fairy tale characters. From their example, the child learns how to act well and how to act badly, and receives the first knowledge about nature, rules of behavior, phenomena and objects. What will help better than hand-made toys and fairy-tale characters? Moreover, this has a double benefit. You will spend time with your child while you make the Snow Maiden or a bunny from a fairy tale, and his creative abilities will develop, fine motor skills, perseverance.

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 trip contributed further development 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 he 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.
Koren Ivanovich Chukovsky wrote his first fairy tale “Crocodile” in 1916. And he published “Cockroach” and “Moidodyr” in 1923. A year later, a poetic work for children “Barmaley” was published.
In the early 1930s, Korney Ivanovich became interested in studying child psychology, how they learn to speak, and wrote the book “From Two to Five.”
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 in different cities. An asteroid is named after Chucocolla.

This is where the legs need to be threaded and secured. The eyes are glued onto the pompoms, and these blanks are glued onto the head of the Tsokotukha fly. Glue the wings to the back.
The silicone rods of the hot gun are very hot. To prevent your child from getting burned, glue the elements yourself, and he will watch and learn.

Read to your kids Pushkin’s works “Near Lukomorye there is a green oak tree” and “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Goldfish” and make crafts on this topic.
DIY crafts on the theme “Green oak near the Lukomorye”
These lines begin the tale of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin “The Tale of Tsar Saltan.” The kids will remember these lines better if you make crafts with them based on Pushkin’s fairy tales.
To illustrate this story, you will need the following materials:
- thick cardboard measuring 24 by 35 cm;
- A4 sheet of white cardboard;
- paper towels;
- PVA glue;
- oak leaves;
- acorns;
- a paper bag in which grill coals are sold;
- acrylic lacquer;
- hot glue gun;
- acrylic paints;
- colorless silicone sealant;
- pebbles and shells;
- semolina;
- Bath salt;
- rectangle of artificial grass;
- golden chain;
- play dough;
- rhinestones;
- Kinder surprise toys;
- small chest;
- kebab skewers;
- dried flowers;
- cardboard box.
In order not to wait for the varnish layer to dry with reverse side, hang the leaves by their petioles on a rope using clothespins. Paint them in this position on both sides at once.
To glue the acorns to their caps, do it with a hot gun. Use pliers to cut off pieces of wire the right size, fold them, twist them closer to the bottom, bending these segments here in the form of roots. At the top, twist several wires at a time to make branches.
Turn the coal bag inside out or use another paper one and place a tree trunk here. Twist the bag and glue it to the bottom frame of the tree in the form of a trunk. For branches, you need to cut strips from this package and also glue them to the tree branches.
Next, to create this Pushkin craft, you need to attach acorns and leaves to hot silicone from a glue gun.
Now you need to think about where to place the craft. A large cardboard box is perfect for this. On the sides, glue to it paper towels soaked in PVA glue and water, taken and diluted in the same proportion.
To make a blank for the seashore, you need to cut out a trapezoid from white cardboard. Its smaller side is 6 cm, the larger one is 16, the base is the same as the width of the box. The right edge of this figure is located at an angle of 90 degrees to the base, and the left represents curved line shores.
Decide where it will end, where the sea is, cover this place with blue paint. Mix green and yellow bath salts with semolina and PVA glue. This mass needs to be applied to where the shore will be located on your cardboard. Before the glue dries, press small pebbles and shells into the area. Place this work near a heating device to allow the glue to dry.
When this happens, proceed to the next step. He's quite interesting. Show children how to achieve a 3D sea effect. You have already marked it with blue paint, now squeeze the sealant here. Make waves out of it by forming them with a teaspoon dipped in water. Where you want the waves to be foamy, place pieces of cotton wool under them, helping yourself with a toothpick.
Now it’s time to put the individual elements of this fairy tale-themed craft together. Using hot glue, attach the base of the craft to the cardboard, while on the right there will be a blank of the sea and the sandy shore. Glue on an artificial grass mat; by the way, you can buy it at the Fix Price store.
To this artificial grass base you need to attach the tree. To do this, pierce it with wire roots, bend them on the back side, and secure them. Hang a gold chain on the oak tree, glue a mermaid or a cat to the tree using hot silicone. If you don’t have ready-made figures, make them from salt dough and paint them.
This is such a wonderful and unusual job. While doing it, say the famous lines of the poem, then the child will quickly remember them.
If you want him to learn more, then make another Koshchei by taking a suitable figurine from the Kinder Surprise. Place a small chest next to it and fill it with coins.
To make a hut on chicken legs, make it from wooden sticks or matches, attach a wire with paper in the shape of chicken legs at the bottom. Decorate the building with dried flowers.
Crafts from the heroes of Pushkin’s fairy tale “About Tsar Saltan”

- burlap;
- scraps of fabric;
- glue stick;
- scissors;
- a needle.
- Help your child cut out a rectangle from burlap. Together with your baby, decorate the edges. To do this, first, on one side, you need to remove the horizontal threads with a needle to form a beautiful fringe. This is done on all four sides.
- Now you need to cut out fragments of houses, roofs, windows, doors from fabric. To ensure that the elements are even, it is better to first draw them on cardboard, then use these templates.
- The child will lay out the fabric elements on the burlap. If everything suits you, you need to glue them. If the work is small, then the burlap can be glued to a sheet of cardboard so that the base is dense.
To make the ships on which the guests sail in the fairy tale, take:
- Styrofoam;
- colored paper;
- wooden skewers or toothpicks;
- scissors.
When spring comes, the child will be happy to let them run through the melting puddles and streams that form. This is also great fun for the bathroom.

Theme of Pushkin's fairy tale “About the Fisherman and the Fish”
Another story in verse by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Crafts based on this fairy tale can be made from the most unexpected materials.
To make one like this three-dimensional picture, take:
- bark;
- birch bark;
- cones;
- sticks;
- plasticine;
- yellow cardboard.
- Place a section of thick bark on work surface, clean it from dust with a cloth. Let the child put a piece of crushed plasticine here and place chaga on top.
- We make the grandfather from a big bump, which will become his body, and a small one, which will turn into his head.
- Using plasticine, the child will attach sticks, they will turn into the arms and legs of the character. The waves are made from pieces of birch bark, which need to be twisted and fixed in this position on the bark using plasticine.
- The child will cut out a goldfish from yellow cardboard, draw scales, eyes, and other elements with a felt-tip pen. Let him attach the fish to the wave using a piece of plasticine.
- Using natural materials, such as acorns, the child will make a grandfather from a fairy tale. Just let the adults drill holes in the acorns so that matches or toothpicks can be inserted here, which will become the arms, legs, and neck of the hero of Pushkin’s fairy tale. The stick and rope will turn into his fishing rod.
- Place the old man on the moss and cut out the sea from blue paper.
The theme of the fairy tale about the fisherman and the fish in crafts continues with the next master class. From it you will learn how to make a picture from threads. For this craft you need to take:
- sheet of cardboard;
- glue;
- brush;
- threads of different colors;
- openwork braid;
- bead for the eye.
- First, you need to weave braids from threads. Now let the child draw the outline of a fish on the cardboard.
- Dipping a thin brush into glue, outline them with this substance, then glue a pigtail of yellow thread along the contour. On the body of the fish they will be laid out in the form of scales. Bow sponges are made from red braids, waves from blue and light blue ones.
- Here you can use either a braid of yarn or simply glue the threads. Finish the work with them by completing beautiful frame. Let the child glue an eye from a bead, and make a tail from openwork braid.
This is such an interesting goldfish made from threads. It can be made from other materials.
To make such a sea dweller, take:
- foam egg;
- satin ribbon;
- beads;
- eyes for toys;
- colored pebbles;
- shells;
- Titan glue;
- white seeds;
- alabaster;
- wire;
- acrylic paints;
- glitter;
- polymer clay;
- patch;
- pallet;
- transparent nail enamel;
- pencil.
Weave the upper and two lower fins from wire and beads.
Instead of scales, glue seeds, pointing them in one direction so that the narrow tips are near the body. Start attaching from the tail side, gradually moving towards the head. Limit the junction of the scales with the face with red beads, attach it here.
Carefully apply glue to the tips of the seeds and sprinkle them with red and yellow glitter. Decorate the face of the sea dweller in the same way, using only yellow sparkles. Seal the whole thing on top with clear varnish.
Here's how to make the fish next. Twist a loop from thick wire and wrap it with adhesive tape. Pour diluted alabaster onto the tray and insert the lower part of the wire here. Wrap another piece of wire with blue tape, this is where you will attach the fish. Also put it in this solution. Paint the wave and frozen alabaster with blue acrylic paint.
To make a beautiful tail for a goldfish, string beads of different colors onto a wire, bend this blank into a tail, and glue it to the sea creature.
