Finger theater printed and pasted.

We made these dolls from thick paper. They are very easy to make. Management of such finger puppets is clear, interesting. After all, if you put your fingers through the holes, then the doll will have legs - you get a desktop walking doll.

Bottles of yogurt have accumulated at home, we also decided to use them and made bottle theater.

Shadow theater- help children to get to know theater, show your imagination, develop speech. This theater useful for younger children.

We also made original and easy-to-make dolls for home puppet theater from disposable plastic spoons.

And a didactic game using caps. We consolidate knowledge of the fairy tale and at the same time develop fine motor skills of the hands.

Desktop theater promotes the development of coherent speech, imagination. It has a psychotherapeutic effect, helping the child to cope with experiences, fears, to get the missing attention. Forms in children a strong interest in theatrical activities.

Do do-it-yourself puppet theater is not so difficult as it seems at first glance. And very exciting. We plan to continue manufacturing theaters in other ways.

The flat finger theater made of paper "Teremok", from our point of view, is not very suitable for children under 5 years old. But 5-6 year old children will be happy to play with it. The principle of movement of the dolls is very simple - insert the index and middle fingers into the holes-slots. These are the "legs" of the doll. Now she can walk. Of course, children of this age know the fairy tale "Teremok" by heart. But here we are going to “play theater”. And almost all the guys want to be an artist. But, although the fairy tale is familiar, such games will develop the speech of children - after all, for each character you need to speak in a certain voice, try to convey his character. The hare speaks timidly, the fox slyly, the mouse squeaks, and the bear growls menacingly. To convey all these shades with a voice is an interesting and difficult task for younger preschoolers. In addition, children can actively participate in the creation of puppets and scenery for the finger theater from Teremok paper.

Flat finger theater made of paper "Teremok"

In order to make puppets for our finger paper theater, you need to print (or draw) the heroes of the fairy tale teremok on plain paper. The height of the dolls should be approximately 9-10 cm, and the width at the bottom of the figurine should be less than 4.5 cm - so that you can freely cut holes for the fingers.
Templates of puppets for a flat finger theater made of paper "Teremok"

We paste the template on very thick paper or thin cardboard. We give to lie down under the load (2-3 thick books) for 10-15 minutes. We color the animals with colored pencils of suitable colors.
Cut out the figure, cut holes for the fingers.
If you wish, you can paint the back of the doll. Keep in mind that it will be more difficult for a child to color an already cut figure. The doll is ready.

You can print colored figures right away or use the appliqué technique (as in the photo below).

Scenery for the finger theater from paper "Teremok"

To play a fairy tale with such dolls, we need a decoration - a house-teremok. Making it is quite easy.
Step 1
Take a sheet of brown (not glossy!) cardboard. Draw it as shown in the diagram.

Step 2
Cut out the windows.

Step 3
Cut strips of red paper 1 cm wide for the windows and 2-3 cm for the roof. Decorate the windows and the slope of the roof with stripes. You can make a carved edge on the strips.

Step 4
Cut out circles-logs with a diameter of about 2 cm from yellow paper. Stick them on the teremok.

Step 5
Cut grass out of green paper and glue it on the bottom.

Step 6
Draw the details with a felt-tip pen and cut off the excess cardboard above the roof.

Step 7
From another sheet of cardboard, fold an accordion. The first link of the "accordion" is 2 cm, the second and third - 5 cm. Fold the remaining piece of cardboard in half again (that is, the fourth and fifth link will be about 3-4 cm each)
We glue the narrowest part of the "accordion" to the tower from below.

In order for the tower to be stable, we glue the side parts of the second link of the "accordion" to the tower. A pocket is formed, as it were, in which we will “populate” the animals.

The photo shows how our teremok will look from behind.

Teremok is ready, you can start the performance.
The Teremok finger theater can be done in other ways, for example. Or . These models do not require any decorations. In addition, you can play with them with very young children 2-3 years old.

Colored paper is a versatile material. She can easily turn into a kitten, dog, hero of your favorite cartoon or fairy tale. A little imagination and effort - and now you already have the scenery ready. What you need for a fun dialogue of little animals.

So, we choose the right colors, prepare glue, paints, felt-tip pens, pencils and go ahead - make wonderful finger puppets.

1. Print and cut out patterns for finger toys.

2. Glue the faces of the little animals.

3. Now glue the torsos. From a strip of white paper, make a finger holder in the shape of a ring and glue it to the inside of the toy's head.

Kids, as a rule, are delighted not only with the process of creating figures, but also with participation in the performance itself. So, if the younger brother or sister wants to try himself in the role of, for example, a bunny, I hope you will not mind.

Well, the dolls are ready! The theater performance begins!

But if you want to make fairy-tale characters (king, princess, knight, dragon or pirate robbers), print out the following templates:

Finger toys are easy and fun to make. Note that dolls made from several materials at once - paper, fabric, beads - look very cute and touching. Think about it when creating the next character for the game.

Finger theater is very fond of the children of our group, especially girls. It's no secret that, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, playing with a finger puppet theater develops a child's imagination, curiosity, sociability, interest in creativity, contributes to the development of speech, memory, attention, thinking, perseverance, broadening one's horizons, helps to cope with shyness and much more. .

In this regard, at one of the parent meetings, we decided to replenish our theater with hand-made characters.

Parents tried and sewed the fairy tale "Teremok"

It turned out it wasn't all that difficult.

Some parents "took the hook" for the first time. And it turned out pretty well, in our opinion.

One family presented a nursery rhyme "Magpie Crow" made of felt.

We made some animals ourselves with children from plasticine.

Thanks to the finger theater, the child has the opportunity to fantasize, invent their own fairy tales and stories. Many thanks to the parents for their active participation in the life of the kindergarten.
