Children aged 6-7 years old can make crafts in the form of different animals, for example, a tiger. Moreover, the proposed master class will require a minimum of materials, tools and maximum creative potential. For work, you should prepare colored and white paper, glue, felt-tip pens, and a pencil.
You need to take a piece of orange paper and fold it in half. Using a pencil, create a contour of the body, as if the side of the animal appeared to the eye, then cut it out. You need to draw and cut out the head, ears and tail. All of them should also be made of orange paper. For the eyes, you need to cut small circles out of white paper.
Ears and eyes are glued to the head of the tiger. The rest of the elements are drawn with a marker, namely: eyebrows, nose and pupils. Do not forget that the tiger is striped, so stripes must be drawn on the head. A similar pattern should be on the tail and body of the animal. It remains to glue the tail and head.
In order for the tiger cub to be stable, it is necessary to bend its paws about 0.5 cm to the side.
Hare
Having got acquainted with the master class for creating a tiger, we suggest you learn how to make a rather cute and adorable animal - a bunny. For work, you will need white paper, white cardboard, glue, a pink felt-tip pen, plastic eyes or buttons, a pencil, threads and scissors.
You need to take a white sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut it. The cut halves must be folded like an accordion. Then the accordions are glued to each other. Using threads, you need to tie the accordion in the central part, that is, in half.
Now the accordion is glued with the sides to each other, so that a circle is formed.
Now you need to prepare the ears. They should be cut out of white paper, and painted inside with a pink felt-tip pen so that a white outline remains. In a similar pattern, the legs are cut out, and their pads are painted over with a pink felt-tip pen.
Using glue, you need to glue the ears on the back of the prepared circle. On the front of it, glue the legs at the bottom. Eyes are glued just above the central part of the circle. Below the eyes, 2 small white circles are glued, from which black antennae will go.
In the very center of the craft, a pink nose is glued.
Crocodile
Now we offer you to get acquainted with a master class on creating a paper crocodile. For work, you will need green double-sided colored paper, white paper, glue, scissors, and a felt-tip pen.
You need to take green paper, fold it in half in width, then unfold and fold each resulting half into 4 parts. This will create 7 fold lines. It is necessary to cut the sheet along the fold lines to get 8 identical strips.
The six strips obtained must be bent in half, and then cut along the fold line. One of the two whole strips must be bent along, and then cut so that it turns out to be 2 times thinner. From 10 short strips, you need to glue the chain. Thus, the body of the craft is formed.
A long strip is taken, inserted into the body, and then glued at the end. This is how the tail is made. On the other side of the body, a long strip is passed through, but not glued together. It is enough to bend it at an obtuse angle so that the crocodile's muzzle takes the shape of a trapezoid.
Now you need to make the eyes. To do this, take the last wide strip, fold in half, cut along the fold line. One of the short strips obtained is also folded in half, and its ends are rounded.Next, this strip with rounded ends is glued to the crocodile's head. It remains only to bend the strips so that the eyes look straight. Legs are made from the remnants of the shortened strips.
White paper is taken, eyes are cut out of it and glued to the convex part of the head. A strip about 1.5 cm wide and about 18 cm long is also cut out of white paper. The teeth of a predator are drawn on it. After the workpiece is glued to the inside of the crocodile's head.
