The Teremok flat paper finger theater, 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 - the index and middle fingers are inserted into the slits. 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 will be “playing theater.” And almost all the guys want to be an artist. But, although the fairy tale is familiar, such games will develop children’s speech - after all, you need to speak for each character in a certain voice, try to convey his character. The bunny speaks timidly, the fox speaks slyly, the mouse squeaks, and the bear growls menacingly. Conveying all these shades with a voice is an interesting and difficult task for younger preschoolers. In addition, children can actively participate in creating puppets and decorations for the Teremok paper finger theater.

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 Teremok fairy tale on plain paper. The height of the dolls should be approximately 9-10 cm, and the width at the bottom of the figure should be less than 4.5 cm - so that holes for the fingers can be freely cut.
Puppet templates for flat finger theater made from Teremok paper


Glue the template onto very thick paper or thin cardboard. Let it rest under a load (2-3 thick books) for 10-15 minutes. We color the animals with colored pencils of suitable colors.
We cut out the figure and 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 your child to color an already cut out figure. The doll is ready.


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

Decorations for the paper finger theater “Teremok”

To play out a fairy tale with such dolls, we need a decoration - a house-teremok. It's not difficult to make.
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 wide for the roof. Decorate the windows and roof slope with stripes. You can make a carved edge on the strips.


Step 4
Cut out circles of logs with a diameter of about 2 cm from yellow paper. Glue them onto the tower.


Step 5
Cut out grass from green paper and glue it to the bottom.


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

Step 7
Fold another sheet of cardboard into 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 links will be about 3-4 cm each)
We glue the narrowest part of the “accordion” to the tower from below.


To make the tower stable, glue the side parts of the second link of the “accordion” to the tower. A kind of pocket is formed into which we will “populate” the animals.

Or you can learn to knit and knit these cute little characters:


Honestly, I used to knit well, but now I don’t have enough time for it all. But I never liked sewing. But, as an option, you can also create a theater for those who love this business.


Although here is the simplest master for you - a class on sewing a puppet theater from fabric using gloves. Anyone can do it, even those who do not know the art of sewing.

We will need:

  • household gloves, knitted - 2 pcs., buttons for the eyes - 2 pcs., thread, scissors, braid, stationery knife

Stages of work:

1. Take the first glove and steam the seam thread on the cuff, it is usually red or yellow. Tuck the little finger, thumb and index finger in so that they do not come out, sew them up. You should end up with a head with ears and a hare neck. Sew the bases of the ears to prevent your fingers from getting in there.


2. Now take the next glove and hide your ring finger in it, sew up the hole. Place your middle and index fingers together and now place the hare's head on them.


3. Sew the head to the neck. To hide the seam on your neck, tie it with a bow or tie in the shape of a butterfly. Sew button eyes and embroider a muzzle, or you can draw it with a marker. You can decorate a bunny using fluff or knitted threads by gluing a cute little chupik on his head. 😯


In this way, you can make other toys, such as a dog, parsley, etc.


My son generally loves such a simple glove, he puts it on and goes around making up all sorts of stories with the characters :)
