DIY scene layout from the box step by step. How to make a puppet theater with your own hands for kindergarten. Dolls made of plasticine or salt dough

Do you and your child like fairy tales and interesting stories? How about getting together and spending time with the whole family? Do you want to arrange a small holiday for yourself in the middle of everyday life? Then it's time for home theater! Organizing a performance is not that difficult and can become a exciting game. Today we'll show you exactly how to do it and offer some great ideas to get you inspired.

The day of the performance is very exciting and filled with pleasant chores for the whole family. It will be interesting for everyone, young and old, to participate in the preparation: dad can be entrusted with constructing the stage, and older children will probably want to draw a poster and get some kind of role.

It’s great to play the theater on a cloudy and rainy day, when you don’t feel like going outside and want to spend time at home in a fun, interesting and useful way. Although on a fine day at the dacha you can stage a performance at fresh air. And this is great entertainment during the holidays, when other families with children come to visit you.

Choose together what kind of performance you will stage. It is better to choose simple plots that are familiar and interesting to the child. For example, they will fit well folk tales(“Kolobok”, “Teremok”, “Turnip”), stories and poems from the child’s favorite books.

A very important and exciting part of the preparation, which in itself can become an educational game, is drawing posters and tickets. Tickets are simply small pieces of paper with “Ticket” written on them. Instruct your child to deliver tickets to the spectators; for him this will be an honorable duty. The poster can be drawn small on an A4 sheet, or on a larger paper format, then the main part is drawn by adults and older children. Be sure to write the name in large letters. You can draw characters or a scene from a fairy tale, indicate the names of the actors.

In the meantime, the actors can prepare, remember the fairy tale, and adults will come to their aid. We have already written before how to help your child memorize simple poems.

Setting up the stage

Preparing a stage for a home theater with your own hands is a very responsible and creative activity, which will take time, and it is better to plan it for one of the days before the performance. All your efforts will certainly be worth it, because a beautiful and thoughtfully made stage will be useful to you for games more than once.

You can make a stage out of a box - either a large one from under household appliances or a small one, for example, from under dishes or toys, then you will get a mini-theater. Decorate the stage to your and your baby’s taste and build a curtain. You can prepare the backdrop and decorations specifically for the performance. Here are some ideas on how you can do this.

An even simpler option is a curtain in the doorway, especially if you know how to sew.

Or you can simply cover a couple of chairs or a table with a blanket - and the stage is ready!

Making doll actors

Another interesting and very easy to implement idea is to draw faces or muzzles on plastic spoons.

Many kids like finger puppets. By playing with them, we also train fine motor skills. Mother craftsmen can sew or knit such dolls. Or you can cut them out of ordinary household gloves in a couple of minutes or simply draw faces on your fingers.

Home theater shadows

Play shadow theater- this is always a special sacrament. Meanwhile, adding a little magic to your life is not so difficult. First we need to make a screen. For this, a lid from a box (for example, a shoe box) is useful, in the wall of which we cut out a window and glue a sheet of paper (regular office paper or tracing paper) on top. In addition, you can use white fabric as a screen in the doorway. We cut out figures for the shadow theater from cardboard. You can draw them yourself, print templates from the Internet or buy ready-made ones. The cardboard figurine will need to be attached to a stick, for example, from Chupa Chups.

You can also get shadows of animals using your hands. On a sunny day or in a dark room with a table lamp on, show your baby how to do this. And this is also a great way to stretch your fingers.

Well, that's all, the preparations are over, the guests are in place, the lights go out, and the stage is illuminated by a table lamp. Support the little puppeteer, because he is very worried at this moment. And be ready to take most performance on yourself. If a child stumbles somewhere, help, catch him. The performance itself can be very short, a few minutes. In any case, the family will be delighted and will not be stingy with praise and applause, because everyone did a great job!

P.S. Do you know what is very important?! It is in the home puppet theater that you can observe your child and his behavior. Because the baby can come up with something, speak out, and we adults still need to listen to what the child is talking about, what topics he is talking about.

Home puppet theater is in a good way child development. In particular, the project promotes the development of speech, imagination, and fine motor skills. At the same time, dolls have an excellent psychotherapeutic effect, since they can help a child cope with his fears and worries, as well as receive the attention that is sometimes so lacking. You can make a puppet theater in kindergarten with your own hands, and this applies not only to dolls, but also to screens and decorations.

Making dolls

Dolls can be made from completely different materials, including from improvised ones. However, their size is not important. They can be finger-shaped, in the form of gloves or stationary figures.

Felt finger characters

Finger puppets allow you to develop your child’s fine motor skills, thinking and speech. Making miniature dolls is very simple. To do this, you need to prepare the following tools and materials:

• felt;
• threads;
• scissors;
• pattern paper;
• pencil.

You can draw the pattern for the character yourself. To do this, it is first recommended to choose a fairy tale or story that will be staged, and then carefully think through its characters. After this, you can start making characters:

During production finger puppets You should immediately decide who will wear them. If this is a child, then the holes in the dolls should be such that the characters do not fall off during the performance.

Modeling paste

A special modeling paste can be a good material for making dolls. It can be replaced salt dough or plasticine. The advantages of this material are that it can be used to make both finger puppets and stationary puppets. To make characters you need to prepare:

The sculpting process is quite difficult for a child, so an adult needs to be shown step by step how to make this or that figurine. At the same time, it is still worth leaving the child the opportunity to express his imagination. If a human figurine is needed for staging, you can sculpt it as follows:

1. From a piece of pasta measuring 2*3 cm you need to roll a sausage and then form it into a cylinder. His figure should resemble a matryoshka doll with a torso and head. Make a notch at the bottom of the cylinder for your finger.
2. Separately sculpt the arms that need to be attached to the body.
3. All facial features can be made using a plasticine stack or knife.
4. You can paint the character after the paste has dried and hardened.

Paper fairy tale heroes

Paper dolls are very easy to make, but they can be disposable because they tear easily during use. The size of the dolls depends on personal preference. They can be worn on a finger or the entire hand. To make a paper doll, you can cut out special templates along the contour, and then glue them in pairs so that both the back and the back sides match the characters. There is an easier way to make paper dolls:

1. You need to glue a small tube from a sheet of colored paper by twisting the sheet and gluing it along the edge. Its dimensions depend on the type of puppet theater. The doll can be worn on a finger or be stationary
2. On the resulting blanks you need to glue elements of the face and hands depending on the character.

It's better not to throw away plastic spoons

You can also make dolls from scrap materials. They cope with this task perfectly plastic spoons. For such characters you need to prepare:

Additionally, you may need ready-made plastic eyes, as well as felt-tip pens or markers. After preparing everyone necessary tools You can proceed directly to making dolls. To do this you need:

1. Glue or draw eyes on the convex side of the spoon.
2. Wrap the fabric around the handle of the spoon and tie it with a ribbon to make a dress. If manufactured male character, then at the junction of the handle and the convex part of the spoon you can glue a bow tie.
3. Make hair from colored paper. To do this, cut a fringe on one side of the strip, and then glue the whole part to the convex part of the spoon.

You can also use other available materials. For example, you can make smeshariki from disks with your own hands or take ice cream sticks.

Socks will help

You can very quickly make a puppet theater out of socks with your own hands. To make such characters, you must adhere to the following instructions:

Decorations for performances

Particular attention must be paid to the decorations. The easiest way to make them is from thick cardboard. To do this, you need to draw the required element on cardboard and then cut it along the contour. Additionally, you need to glue clothespins to the decoration, which will be used to attach the decorations to the screen. It is recommended to disguise them, since the fasteners cannot spoil the appearance of the stage or attract attention to themselves. Therefore, the clothespins should be disguised as part of the decoration, for example, as a figurine of a flower or mushroom. The number of clothespins depends on the size of the decoration itself.

Theater screen

The screen is the basis of the puppet theater in kindergarten. Her appearance depends on the type of theater. This could simply be a fabric curtain that can be used to cover the hole under the table. In this case, all actions will take place at the level of the table top. You can also make a dollhouse out of fabric with your own hands, the patterns for which you can draw yourself. If you are making a finger puppet theater with your own hands or using glove puppets, then you will need a table screen. It can be made from different materials.

A plywood screen will turn out to be very light, and it will last for many years. To make it you need to prepare:

• plywood;
• jigsaw;
• wallpaper or fabric;
• door hinges.

1. Cut 3 blanks from the main material, that is, one central part and two sidewalls. They need to be covered with fabric or wallpaper.
2. After all three parts are dry, they need to be connected using door hinges. This will allow you to close the screen and fold it.

In a similar way, you can make a screen from cardboard. However, it is recommended to make it three-layer, which will significantly increase the strength of the structure. It is not necessary to connect the parts with door hinges; they can simply be sewn together.

The age of children who go to kindergarten places special demands on the action itself. For theatrical performance It is recommended to choose simple, uncomplicated stories that are nevertheless capable of teaching important life things. Gradually, the repertoire can be increased, while periodically returning to already staged performances. The peculiarity of children is that they quickly get tired and stop focusing on some subject. This means that the duration of the performance should not exceed 10-15 minutes. Additionally, you can use musical accompaniment.

A puppet theater in a kindergarten will help not only to reveal the talents of each child, but also to unite the team. And not only at the stage of staging fairy tales, but also in the process of making dolls. The children will definitely be delighted and will definitely not forget the emotions they felt at these moments.
