DIY paper slide. Do-it-yourself wooden parking for children's cars

21.04.2020

The art of creating shapes and forms from paper is called origami. This creativity has been known since ancient times and is very popular these days. Even if you have never done this before, you will be able to make a simple paper slide; it is very interesting and exciting.

To keep the lines neat and precise, stroke them with a ruler several times. Take a square piece of colored or white paper and cut it exactly in half. Work will occur on only one part of it. Fold the working part in half lengthwise, and then lengthwise and in half again. We get a long narrow strip. Let's turn it one turn and straighten it out thoroughly.

Now fold it in half widthwise. Next, fold the edges of the paper by one third, iron it several times and return them to their original position. Then fold the corners of the paper at the transverse fold in the form of triangles, which will open up the double edges of the leaf.

When wondering how to make a paper slide neatly and beautifully, you need to pay attention once again to the fact that the folds must be carefully ironed. Not forgetting all these tips, we continue to form a paper slide, lay out our slide in length and turn it over with the other side facing us.

Now we bend the edges of the wide part inward by a third, we get a narrow strip of the same width. The part with sides along the edges is the slope of a paper slide, and from the other part we make a ladder. That is, we bend the part without sides with an accordion. We straighten the accordion ladder and fix the corner of the slide. That's it, the paper slide is ready.

This is a miracle in a matter of minutes, easy and simple. It is useful to teach this mystery of origami to children; they will find it a real magical miracle trick, interesting and exciting. And such exercises significantly improve fine motor skills, logic, attentiveness, develop analytical thinking, perseverance, instill accuracy and precision, and enhance mental and creative activity.

It’s better to start with simple figures and shapes, gradually mastering more complex shapes and paper compositions. You can make it for a child or teach him to make figures on his own and then play with them together. For a paper slide you can make paper people, animals, cars and so on.

For children, this is a whole fascinating world created with their own hands. And adults forget about their problems and stress in the creative process. Subsequently, you can learn to work with glue and scissors, fastening several figures into one large part, and making cuts so that the figure looks more voluminous and more impressive.

In this material, we presented 13 super ideas, 100 photos, 1 step-by-step master class and a selection of video tutorials on making cardboard crafts with your own hands.

Where can I get cardboard?

To make children's crafts, in addition to sheet colored or corrugated cardboard from the store, you can use the following scrap and scrap materials:

Cardboard boxes (you can ask the warehouse workers at your nearest store);
Disposable paper tableware;
Rolls for toilet paper and paper towels;
Packaging of cereals and sweets, such as corn flakes;
Egg packaging (it’s good to use cells);
Packaging of dairy products.

13 ideas for cardboard crafts + Master class

Idea 1. Construction toys

The good thing about cardboard “constructors” is that they are easy to make and decorate, fun to assemble and, of course, play with. You can come up with and design such a toy yourself, or you can make it using a ready-made diagram from our article or found on the Internet.

Idea 3. Puppets or just dolls with moving parts

Making a puppet out of cardboard is very easy and at the same time interesting. You just need to draw the details of the man, cut them out and fasten them with mini pins (sold in scrapbooking stores).

Instead of special fasteners, you can use thin wire (for example, for beading). Simply cut a piece of wire 2 cm long, thread it through the holes of the parts and twist its ends on the front and back sides as shown in the photo on the right. You can also use metal rings as fasteners.

If you want the figurine to become a real puppet, then you can:

Connect the arms and legs with a single thread, as shown in the photo below, or with two threads (one thread connects the legs, and the other - the arms).

Tie a rope to each arm and leg, then tie all 4 ropes to the ends of sticks folded crosswise. An example of such a puppet is shown in the following photo.

Idea 4. Finger puppets

Finger puppets are made even easier and faster: a small figurine is drawn, then two holes are cut out in its lower part. Woo-ala, the first “actor” for the puppet theater is ready! In the following selection of photos you can get some ideas for finger puppets.

Idea 5. Land, air, water and space transport

A car, plane, bus, ship, boat or rocket made from cardboard is no worse than one bought in a store. After all, making such a toy with your own hands together with your parents already seems like a fun adventure. And when you get tired of the cardboard vehicle, you can use it to make other toys and crafts.

Idea 6. Mini kitchen

If you have a couple of square shaped boxes, why not use them to make a mini stove and sink?

You can make a refrigerator from one elongated rectangular box.

If there is enough space in the room, a washing machine can complement the kitchen.

For a master class on how to make a cardboard craft in the form of kitchen furniture, watch the following video.

Idea 7. Toy equipment and household items

Do you need props for role-playing games or things to decorate a cardboard house? We suggest making them from cardboard with your own hands.

Idea 8. Masquerade costumes

Is there a matinee or performance coming up at a kindergarten or school? Or does your baby just love transformation? You can make an amazing outfit from cardboard. Here are photo examples of cardboard fancy dress costumes for boys.

And here are photo examples of cardboard costumes for girls.

Idea 9. Bookmarks

To make bookmarks, it is better to use not too thick colored cardboard, and in order for the craft to last as long as possible, it should be laminated with transparent tape.

Idea 10. Aquarium with fish

Cut off the lids of the cardboard box and paint its inside in blue tones; if desired, decorate the aquarium with applications made of plasticine, glitter, colored paper, etc. Cut 3-5 holes along the top of the box and pass a thread through each hole. Next, cut out 3-5 fish from colored paper. Attach a large button (from the outside of the aquarium) and a fish to each thread. That's all, the aquarium is ready.

Idea 11. Town in a box

You just need to trim the sides of the box and paint them on the inside and... voila! You get a city with roads, with which the child will play for hours, moving cars and figures of men.

Idea 12. Three-dimensional toys made of corrugated cardboard using the quilling technique

Volumetric crafts can be “twisted” using the quilling technique from corrugated cardboard. Having mastered the skill of forming various figures, the child will be able to experiment with shapes and colors and even create figures of their favorite cartoon characters.

Materials and tools:

Cardboard box;
Tracing paper or white tissue paper;
Black cardboard (you can paint regular cardboard with a thick layer of black paint);
White pencil;
Wooden skewers, straws or wire;
Scotch tape and/or glue;
Scissors;
Stationery knife.

Step 1. First we need to make the theater body. To do this, cut off the lids from the box, and then cut out its bottom.

Step 2. Cut a piece of tracing paper larger than the box size. Carefully glue it to the sides of the theater with slight tension, as shown in the photo.

Step 4. Now it’s time to cut out the characters for the future play from black cardboard. Keep in mind that the more detailed the silhouette of the figure, the more realistic the shadow theater will be. Therefore, it is best to draw figures using templates found on the Internet and printed.

Step 5. The shadow theater is almost ready, all that remains is to glue the figures to wooden skewers or wires. You can glue them as shown in the photo below or perpendicularly to make it easier to control the characters.

Useful tips

1. Prepare a cardboard box, turn it as shown in the image and cut off the top part (see image). Set aside the cut pieces of the box.

13 cool ways to make a track, track, parking, slides, car wash, garage, road for children with your own hands. All this can be made from ordinary materials that almost everyone has at home. Let's take a look at these creations.

1. DIY track made of foam plastic (cardboard) for children’s cars.

A track for cars that can be made with children and for children. Fast, clean, easy and economical. All we need is:

white polystyrene foam, if you don’t have it, you can use large cardboard, pre-painting it;
decorative tape;
scissors;
wooden cubes, if you don’t have them, you can use any building blocks that you have at home;

That's all, the track is ready. You can play with it at home or on the street. Easy to store because It's flat, so you can hide it under the bed or behind the closet.

2. Do-it-yourself car wash for cars made from a cardboard box.

Cool idea for summer time. You can play with such a car wash on the street, in your dacha, as you can actually wash children’s cars there. Children simply love to play with water. And here you can spray cars with a spray bottle.

To make a children's toy we will need:

cardboard box;
cellophane to cover the walls and floor of the car wash;
felt;
wooden rolls, and two toilet paper rolls;
scissors, hot glue.

We start work by cutting off the roof and one side of a cardboard box, and on the opposite side we make something like a door. Next we start painting. We need to paint all the outer walls and the bottom of the box, this way we will protect it from moisture.

After the box is dry, glue cellophane to the inside. You probably guessed that this will save the box from moisture and it will last longer.
We cut the felt and glue it to wooden bushings (you can also sticks), to toilet paper bushings. We attach everything to our car wash. Children can play with this for hours.

3. DIY children's road.

A very simple road made from a cardboard box. All you need is time, desire and creativity. But seriously, cardboard, pencil, scissors, paint, brush.

We cut out trees and houses from the box, and then color it all. Children will be happy to color everything, and at the same time we stimulate the development of creativity and fine motor skills in our little ones.

4. Race track for children's cars.

A racing track for four cars at once. It’s easy to make with your own hands, and children will really like it, because four cars can slide down it at the same time. Both boys and girls will be able to figure out which car goes faster.

And here we went even further by gluing the tape directly to the sofa and carpet. I wonder how many parents would agree to this. But how fun and comfortable it is for children. If you do not have special tape with the image of an asphalt road, you can use colored tape or regular electrical tape. If desired, markings can be applied to it.

9. Road for cars on an old wooden table.

If you have an unnecessary or old wooden table, then it can be turned into a track for children's cars. Mark the table with paper tape before painting. After painting, wait until it dries completely. The road is ready for the children.

The children's railway is a favorite toy of many toddlers and older children. This game is especially attractive to boys, because many of them dream of traveling at a young age, and playing “trains” helps a lot with this. In addition, various types of trains develop children's thinking and contribute to the development of their imagination and imagination.

Today, toy stores sell a huge number of different sets for young railway workers: from small trains with 2-3 carriages to modern fast locomotives. In addition to the locomotives themselves, the sets contain various additional elements in the form of rails, houses, train stations, entire farms, figures of people and animals, road signs, etc. From such elements you can create an entire toy city. It’s good if the toy railroad is in a certain place and not scattered on the floor. Therefore, you can set aside a small corner in the children’s room, and together with your child, arrange it not only with the help of store-bought elements, but also with those you have made yourself. For example, at home we made this panorama ourselves.

In the meantime, I want to provide you with a small master class (fragment) on how to independently make mountains for such a panorama, which will be an excellent addition. This work is not difficult, and even a small child can help you.

Step 1. First you need to prepare a sheet of fiberboard on which the layout will be located (in my case, a fragment).

Step 2. For work you will need newspapers, napkins (or toilet paper), wallpaper glue, Moment type glue, gouache, a brush for glue and for gouache.

Step 3. We tear the newspaper in half and make something like lumps out of it (we took free advertising newspapers, which are offered in large quantities in almost any store).

Step 4. From these lumps we “build” a mountain of the desired height.

Step 5. Then pour a small amount of pre-diluted wallpaper glue into a cup and prepare napkins.

Step 6. Dip one side of the napkin into wallpaper glue.

Step 7: Place a damp cloth over the newspaper lumps.

Step 8. Repeat this procedure until the entire “mountain” is covered with wet wipes. Using a brush, which should also be dipped in wallpaper glue, form depressions on the “mountain”.

Step 9. As a result, you should end up with this “mountain” of wet wipes and newspaper. This entire structure should now completely dry (about 12-14 hours).

Step 10. When the mountain is dry, you can start painting (use watercolors, but gouache is better, because it looks brighter after drying)

Step 11. Use different colors: yellow, brown, green, black.

Step 12. At this stage, everything depends only on your imagination.

Making crafts from cardboard with your own hands is a great way not only to have fun with your child, but also to help his creative and mental development.

The benefits of making crafts

This type of creativity develops in children such wonderful qualities as attentiveness, perseverance, accuracy, non-standard, creative thinking.

Also, by creating crafts from paper and cardboard, the child trains fine motor skills of the hands, which, as has been repeatedly proven by both science and the personal experience of many mothers, contributes to the development of intelligence and intelligence in children.

An accessible form of creativity

Another, also important, advantage of this type of activity is that the material for children’s crafts made from cardboard is the most affordable thing. In any stationery store you can find various types of colored paper (velvet, self-adhesive, matte, patterned, etc.) and cardboard (colored, white, corrugated, etc.) and buy them for mere pennies.

Unnecessary cardboard boxes and packaging can also be used as material for cardboard crafts for children. Agree, the budget nature of this type of creativity is very attractive.

To complement crafts made from paper and cardboard, you can use absolutely any materials: ribbons and beads, glitter, plasticine, natural materials, paints and much more. The main tools needed for any such craft will be scissors, glue, a ruler and a pencil.

Our website presents many master classes on making crafts, including from colored paper and cardboard. In this article you see one of them.

Craft "Airplane" made of cardboard

With the help of our simple and understandable step-by-step instructions, you can learn how to make such a cute and original cardboard airplane with your own hands, and then make it together with your baby.

This craft will be a wonderful gift for dad or grandfather on his birthday or February 23rd, and can also captivate your child for a while, immersing him in the world of creativity.

By the way, an airplane made according to our instructions can be used as an original design solution for decorating a nursery: you just need to hang it on a chandelier using a thin thread.

So, we will need:

several blue sheets of cardboard;
several small pieces of pink and white paper;
empty matchbox;
a simple pencil;
ruler;
PVA glue;
scissors.

How to make an “Airplane” craft from cardboard?

Step-by-step description of making crafts:

The first step is to draw a certain “pattern” of the parts of the future aircraft on the wrong side of the cardboard sheets. To begin, we draw a strip 1.5-2 cm wide and 30 cm long. It will be the basis of the craft - the tail of the airplane.

What is it that no airplane can be without? That's right, wings. Their width should be a couple of millimeters larger than the width of a matchbox, and their length should be about 13 centimeters.

You will also need two more strips there - for the lower part of the tail. One is 1 cm wide and 4 cm long, and the second is 1 cm wide and 6 cm long.

Note!

Let's start with the tail. To do this, bend the longest strip, made specifically for the tail, exactly in half, with the colored side out. Next, lubricate the edges of the resulting strip with glue and glue them to the matchbox in height (look at the photo).

It is important to glue the ends of the strip exactly in the middle of the top and bottom of the box. Let's put the resulting structure aside for a while and let the glue dry. And in the free time we will start making wings.

First of all, we take two strips intended for these same wings, put them together and carefully round off all the corners to get identical wings of the liner.

Let's return to preparing the tail: take a box and glue our wings to it on both sides. Please note that the wings must completely cover the boxes; to do this, place them exactly in the center.

Let's add the necessary parts to the tail section of the plane. To do this, take two identical strips of cardboard, cut in advance. We treat them the same way as with the wings: we fold them together and round the corners. Then we grease the back side of the strips with glue and apply them to each other.

Do not use too much glue, as workpieces that are too saturated with it will look unsightly.
Note!

We insert the part we just made under the bend line of the model and glue it. There is only one detail left: take the last strip, bend it in half, the colored side out, then bend one centimeter from each edge. This part should be glued to the very end of the tail of our plane.

With this the main part of the work is completed, let’s proceed to the decoration. In this part of the work you can use your imagination to the maximum. You can decorate the plane in any way you like, it all depends on your desires and the desires of your child.

We suggest cutting out a propeller from white paper and gluing it to the nose of the plane. To make it easier to cut out such a complex part, first draw a sketch with a simple pencil.

We cut out small flowers or stars from pink or any other paper and glue them all over the body of the plane. You can also decorate the craft with drawings, sparkles, beads, or whatever you have enough imagination and capabilities for.

This completes the work on making crafts from paper and cardboard. We hope this article was useful to you and you will definitely create such a toy with your child.

Note!

Photos of cardboard crafts

Below are several photos of an alpine slide whose design differs in many ways. Scheme for creating a slide It is not difficult to make a beautiful rock garden with your own hands, but in order for it to retain its beauty for many years, you must follow the advice of experienced landscape designers: Construction work should begin directly only after a deliberate selection of the site and the creation of a rock garden scheme taking into account planting, this will avoid many mistakes and correct shortcomings on paper, and not on the finished flower garden. The height of the rock garden can reach 1.5 m.

Be sure to add soil between the stones where the plants will be planted. The remains should be removed and disguised with small pebbles or other elements. I have long wanted to decorate the site with an alpine slide. There is only one solution to the problem: urgently plant small-bulbous hills around the territory, which will endow the entire territory with beautiful flowering and lift your spirits. This means dividing the rock garden territory into “plateau”, “valley”, “peaks” and “cliffs”. The result will not be a work of landscape art, but an ordinary landfill. To make a drainage system in a selected area, the pattern of the future composition is marked with pegs and ropes, after which the soil inside the contour is removed to a depth of 20-100 cm, this value depends on the size and desired height of the future structure. Anyone planning to make an alpine slide with their own hands should know that this structure is not a meaningless pile of stones, but a model of a natural mountain landscape. Site preparation Next, you should prepare the site: remove the top layer of turf, the depth should be at least 300 mm. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help - a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. Mountain crops are sensitive to dampness and rot. Right after reading it, I wanted to take it and build some kind of miracle at my dacha.

However, in order for climbing plants... If you want to give your garden an exotic twist, then you should pay attention to Japanese garden art, which expresses the ideological attitude of local residents to nature. It is only necessary to provide for all the nuances. For a large area, there are no restrictions on the flight of fancy: an alpine hill can occupy a decent area along which paths and steps will pass, or a very small island with a couple of stones.

Video material about the creation of an alpine slide Hello, dear site editors! It is advisable to leave areas of land between the paths intended for or. If time permits, it is better to wait until the weed seeds contained in the soil germinate in order to further destroy them with special preparations, this will make further care of the plants easier. It is worth providing lighting for the alpine slide so that its beauty is revealed in a new way at dusk. On a large area, it is immediately necessary to provide paths and transitions. Alternatively, you can use large pebbles to create individual elements or the entire rocky part of the slide. Agree: it is very difficult to imagine an alpine hill that does not bloom in early spring. As practice shows, even the most experienced designer rarely manages to place the stones correctly right away, and often has to move them from place to place to achieve the perfect picture. The resulting mixture must be poured onto the prepared layer and a slide up to 1 m high must be formed. A pump is installed at the bottom, the power of which depends on the height of the cascade; the store will select the appropriate option. Thanks for the original decor ideas. The type of alpine flower beds depends on the size, type of stones and the chosen location. If you prepare the soil mixture yourself, you can make a composition of peat, humus, turf soil and sand.

A DIY children's slide is one of the most common and popular attractions on any playground. There are many design options for such a structure. The simplest thing is a paper model that can be installed on a table. The paper version is suitable for games, for example, with plastic figures. A much more complex undertaking is building a slide in the country or in the yard of your own home. Everything here must be thought out, and the most important thing is a guarantee of safety for the child. If only the figurine in a paper toy is damaged, then there is a real threat to the kids in the yard.

Features of the attraction

A children's slide is familiar to anyone from early childhood. Often, it is with such an attraction that the exploration of a children's playground begins. The essence of this game is the ability to descend from a certain height along an inclined platform, usually on your feet or sitting, without using any devices.

You can make a slide for children with your own hands of different heights; there are different designs. This can be a very simple option (ascent and direct descent), or it can be a whole complex with the possibility of descent along an intricate trajectory and decorative design (for example, in a fairy-tale style) of the entire structure. It all depends on the imagination of the parents, the allocated space and financial capabilities.

What are the requirements for a children's slide for the home? First of all, the issue of the child’s safety must be carefully considered. It is necessary to prevent it from falling when ascending, being at a height and descending. For this purpose, a safety wall, barriers, railings, and handrails are used. The design itself must take into account the age of the children who will use the slide.

The most important parameters in this regard are the ascent height, steepness and descent speed. The protective wall and handrails must be installed taking into account the height of the child. An attraction built for very young children should not allow it to develop high speed during a free descent. It should be remembered that the height of the structure for preschool children cannot exceed 3–3.2 m.

The most important requirements for a children's slide for a garden or home are the following conditions:

high mechanical strength taking into account inappropriate children's behavior;
preventing feet from slipping on the upper platform and stairs;
a sufficiently soft area at the bottom to prevent injuries when lowering to the ground;
environmental safety of the materials used;
exclusion of sunshine on the upper platform;
wind protection.

Design principles

With all the variety of attraction forms, any do-it-yourself slide in the country includes the following basic elements:

high strength load-bearing frame;
lifting staircase with railings;
upper platform with fencing (wall, etc.);
downhill runway with a slope.

The question of how to make a slide can be solved with certain complications:

Canopy. The top of the children's slide should be protected from precipitation and the scorching sun. Such a roof can cover only the upper platform or cover the entire structure. You can install a light canopy, but often a solid decorative roof is made, stylized in a certain genre.
A slide may contain not one, but several main elements (stairs and descents). For example, descents can be organized in parallel (competitive factor) or directed in different directions. Accordingly, there may be several stairs.
Shape of the launch pad. The typical form of the descent is a rectilinear flat tape of sufficient width with a side that prevents falling. The speed of movement is determined by the steepness of the slide and the coating of the belt. The descent system can be significantly diversified. The following varieties are often used: changing the direction of the flat tape (kink), forming a groove. spiral descent, etc.

What materials can children's slides be made from? Apart from the toy version of the paper slide, wood, metal, and plastic are used to make the structure.

For very young children, inflatable slides have become popular and can be installed even in an apartment.

Types of attraction

You can make a children's slide with your own hands for different conditions, different age categories and intensity of use:

Compact slide for an apartment, i.e. indoor option. Such a small structure can be installed in a children's room. It is made from chipboard, plywood, laminate. There is no exposure to atmospheric factors, and therefore any durable material can be used without the requirement for water resistance. Particular attention is paid to the colorful design, which allows the game to fit into the overall interior of the room.
Plastic slide. It is intended for children aged 2–5 years. The most commonly used is PVC. The trigger tape can have any shape, incl. in the form of a spiral, with waves, in the shape of a pipe. An important advantage of plastic is its high heat capacity, which prevents the material from getting too hot under the sun's rays and cooling in winter.

Metal construction. It is built when very high mechanical strength is required. Depending on the age of the users, the garden slide can be made quite high. The metal surface has excellent glide, which allows you to quickly slide down an inclined slope. The main disadvantage is excessive heating in summer and icing in winter.
Wooden slides. This type of attraction is the most widely used in the country. It attracts with its high technology, which allows you to embody your wildest fantasies for arranging the structure. When using wood, it is important to reliably protect it from rotting.

Necessary tool

In order to make a children's slide with your own hands, you should prepare the necessary tools in advance. When constructing a wooden structure you will need the following:

Bulgarian;
electric drill;
screwdriver;
plane (preferably electric);
milling cutter;
hacksaw;
hammer;
chisel;
shovel;
Grinder;
file;
roulette;
protractor;
metal ruler;
construction level.

If you are planning a metal slide for your dacha, then you cannot do without a welding machine, a hacksaw for metal, a chisel, a machine for bending pipes, and a caliper.

Features of manufacturing a simple design

One of the simplest designs of a children's slide is a rectangular platform, fixed at a height of 1–1.5 m above the ground on 4 support bars, which is adjacent to a staircase on one side and an inclined strip for descent on the adjacent or opposite side. This slide is made of wood. Work should begin with the development of the project, and it is best to make a layout from paper in the selected scale.

This way you can clearly evaluate the structure and its design.

The next important step is preparing the site for construction. For the attraction, it is necessary to allocate a flat area with an area of at least 2x2 m. The area is carefully leveled, all roots are uprooted, and vegetation is removed. Drainage is provided around the site. The area itself is covered with a sand cushion on top.

The question of how to build a slide is solved in the following order:

4 support beams measuring 10x10 cm are prepared. To install them, a recess of about 10–15 cm is dug. The supports are placed vertically in the corners, and at the very bottom they are connected to each other by a board measuring 10x2 cm, for which the corresponding grooves on the beams are first cut.
The racks with the frame are installed in the recess, after which it is filled with soil and compacted.

At the selected height, grooves are cut into the racks for attaching the platform floor beams (stiffening ribs). A frame for the upper platform made of timber measuring 20x40 mm is mounted in them.
The upper platform is laid with a board measuring 10x2.5 cm. The boards are tightly fitted to each other to eliminate cracks.
Making an inclined slope. This element is made from load-bearing boards measuring 10x2.5 cm, which are covered with boards or plywood 20 mm thick. The width of the slope is about 75–80 cm. A protective edge 30–35 cm high is attached to the side of the slope. To ensure better sliding, the surface is lined with plastic or galvanized sheet. The upper edge of the descent is securely fixed to the platform, and the lower edge rests on the ground.
Installation of stairs. The stringer is made from a board 5 cm thick. For the steps, a board measuring 10x2 cm is used. It is important to secure the steps to the stringer strictly parallel. The distance between them is set taking into account the age of the child. A baluster 50 cm high is mounted on the side of the staircase. A railing made of timber measuring 30x30 mm is securely attached to the racks.
After completing the installation of all elements, a parapet made of beams and slats is attached to the upper platform. To prevent a child from falling, it is recommended to line the barrier with plywood.
The attraction made in this manner is sanded in its final form and then covered with varnish or acrylic paint.

A children's slide is one of the first attractions on which kids have fun. She will decorate a children's playground in the country or in the courtyard of the house. A simple design can be made with your own hands. When constructing a slide, it is important to strictly monitor safety measures for the child.

Making crafts from cardboard with your own hands is a great way not only to have fun with your child, but also to help his creative and mental development.

The benefits of making crafts

This type of creativity develops in children such wonderful qualities as attentiveness, perseverance, accuracy, non-standard, creative thinking.

An accessible form of creativity

Unnecessary cardboard boxes and packaging can also be used as material for cardboard crafts for children. Agree, the budget nature of this type of creativity is very attractive.

Our website presents many master classes on making crafts, including from colored paper and cardboard. In this article you see one of them.

Craft "Airplane" made of cardboard

This craft will be a wonderful gift for dad or grandfather on his birthday or February 23rd, and can also captivate your child for a while, immersing him in the world of creativity.

By the way, an airplane made according to our instructions can be used as an original design solution for decorating a nursery: you just need to hang it on a chandelier using a thin thread.

So, we will need:

several blue sheets of cardboard;
several small pieces of pink and white paper;
empty matchbox;
a simple pencil;
ruler;
PVA glue;
scissors.

How to make an “Airplane” craft from cardboard?

Step-by-step description of making crafts:

What is it that no airplane can be without? That's right, wings. Their width should be a couple of millimeters larger than the width of a matchbox, and their length should be about 13 centimeters.

You will also need two more strips there - for the lower part of the tail. One is 1 cm wide and 4 cm long, and the second is 1 cm wide and 6 cm long.

Note!

First of all, we take two strips intended for these same wings, put them together and carefully round off all the corners to get identical wings of the liner.

Let's return to preparing the tail: take a box and glue our wings to it on both sides. Please note that the wings must completely cover the boxes; to do this, place them exactly in the center.

Do not use too much glue, as workpieces that are too saturated with it will look unsightly.
Note!

We suggest cutting out a propeller from white paper and gluing it to the nose of the plane. To make it easier to cut out such a complex part, first draw a sketch with a simple pencil.

This completes the work on making crafts from paper and cardboard. We hope this article was useful to you and you will definitely create such a toy with your child.

Note!

Step 1. First you need to prepare a sheet of fiberboard on which the layout will be located (in my case, a fragment).

Step 2. For work you will need newspapers, napkins (or toilet paper), wallpaper glue, Moment type glue, gouache, a brush for glue and for gouache.

Step 3. We tear the newspaper in half and make something like lumps out of it (we took free advertising newspapers, which are offered in large quantities in almost any store).

Step 4. From these lumps we “build” a mountain of the desired height.

Step 5. Then pour a small amount of pre-diluted wallpaper glue into a cup and prepare napkins.

Step 6. Dip one side of the napkin into wallpaper glue.

Step 7: Place a damp cloth over the newspaper lumps.

Step 8. Repeat this procedure until the entire “mountain” is covered with wet wipes. Using a brush, which should also be dipped in wallpaper glue, form depressions on the “mountain”.

Step 9. As a result, you should end up with this “mountain” of wet wipes and newspaper. This entire structure should now completely dry (about 12-14 hours).

Step 10. When the mountain is dry, you can start painting (use watercolors, but gouache is better, because it looks brighter after drying)

Step 11. Use different colors: yellow, brown, green, black.

Step 12. At this stage, everything depends only on your imagination.

How to make a “Town” craft from paper and cardboard

If you have a large cardboard box, several boxes, a cardboard sheet or several cardboard sheets left, then you can easily make a small town for a child.

This toy has a very good effect on the overall development of the child.

* When using a large box or sheet, you just need to trim off the excess parts and start drawing the road.

* After you have drawn the road, paint in bright colors several houses, important city buildings (a fire department, for example), a railroad, etc.

DIY cardboard mockups: catapult

You will need:

Small cardboard box

Thick rubber ring (or hair tie)

Pencil

Matchbox

Toothpicks (matches)

Scissors and/or utility knife

Adhesive tape (scotch tape)

1. We make a basket (from which the “shells” of the catapult will fly out).

Prepare a matchbox or a small piece of cardboard.

Using duct tape, glue the basket to the pencil and set it aside.

2. Prepare a small cardboard box.

Make the necessary cuts with scissors and fold it so that you get a shape like in the image

Make a small hole in the middle of the side (for a tight elastic band)

Make the same hole on the opposite side

Insert the rubber band through one of the holes

Insert several toothpicks (matches) into the resulting loop and tighten the loop to secure them

Repeat the same on the reverse side

* It is worth noting that the elastic band must be well tensioned for the catapult to work well.

3. Start twisting the elastic band inside the box (see image). Do it in the middle.

4. Carefully insert the pencil with the basket into the twisted eraser.

5. Now you can lower the catapult and release it.
