There are a wide variety of paper craft options for children 5-6 years old. We offer you some simple ideas that you can do at home.

An interesting paper craft idea for boys is making binoculars. To do this, you will need the following materials:

• yellow or orange plastic bag;
• 2 toilet paper sleeves;
• a set of colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• glue gun;
• scissors;
• black gouache;
• Scotch;
• wine cork;
• black pen;
• stationery elastic;

thin elastic band.

Getting started.

1. We attach the sleeve to the plastic bag, and cut out 2 circles of slightly larger diameter. If you do not have a sleeve, you can make cardboard blanks for binoculars. To do this, cut out a square, form a pipe from it and fix it with PVA glue.
2. We fix the cut cellophane circles on the bushings with adhesive tape.
3. Cut out rectangles from green paper to the size of the wine cork and sleeves. Cut out two thin strips from black paper along the diameter of the sleeve circumference.
4. Paint over the sides of the cork with black gouache.
5. After the paint has dried, cover the cork with a green rectangle. Draw longitudinal stripes along the entire diameter of the cork with a black pen.
6. We glue the green rectangles onto the bushings. From above, from the side where the cellophane is fixed, glue a black strip along the rim on both cylinders.
7. We connect the bushings to each other with glue and fasten them with a clerical rubber band until the glue dries.
8. Using a glue gun, fix the wine stopper on top of the binoculars.
9. We make holes in the sides. We fix an elastic band of the required length in them.

In order to create an applique from colored paper "Rainbow Fish", you will need the following materials:

• a set of colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• cardboard.

The work process consists of several steps.

1. Choose a sheet of cardboard of any color that will serve as the background. We chose a rich yellow.
2. We cut strips of different colors of the same width. The length of the stripes can be different, this is even better.
3. We begin to make our fish from the tail. Fold the stripes in half and fix them on the cardboard.
4. Then we proceed to the body. To do this, glue the folded stripes to the cardboard layer by layer. First, we go to increase the stripes with each subsequent layer, and then to decrease, as shown in the pictures.
5. Cut out a semicircle from blue colored paper and glue it at the beginning of the fish - this will be its head.
6. We cut out the eyes and glue them on the head.
7. Next, we start creating the second fish. To do this, cut out two identical circles of two colors.
8. We cut the circles so that we get one small part - the head, the other larger - the body.
9. We glue them onto cardboard.
10. We make fins from three strips of paper of different colors.
11. The next step is to create the tail. To do this, take 5 strips, one of which is the central one, should be longer than the rest. We glue them in place of the tail.
12. Cut out a pair of eyes and fix them as shown in the picture. Draw the mouth.
