In search of an alternative to a harmful hobby, adults often forget about such magical art as puppet show. After all, young and even older children are not at all indifferent to performances with dolls. They adore simple and clear performances with a funny plot, long-familiar characters and a happy ending.

Friends, colleagues, today I want to introduce you to my collection of dolls. I can’t say exactly when my hobby began, but something like that, little by little.
Hello dear colleagues. In our kindergarten "Swan", there is a fairly large area with a lot of green space, but among...
I present to your attention my new hobby. Teachers' salaries are low, so I had to find additional income.
Colored paper is a universal material. She can easily turn into a kitten, a dog, a hero from her favorite cartoon or fairy tale. A little imagination and effort - and now you have the scenery ready. Just what you need for a fun dialogue between animals.
So, choose the right colors, prepare glue, paints, markers, pencils and go ahead - make wonderful finger puppets.
1. Print and cut out patterns for finger toys.
2. Glue the faces of the animals.
3. Now glue the torsos. Use a strip of white paper to make a ring-shaped finger holder 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 your little brother or sister wants to try themselves in the role of, for example, a bunny, I hope you won’t mind.
Well, the dolls are ready! The theatrical performance begins!
But if you want to make fairy-tale characters (king, princess, knight, dragon or robber pirates), print out the following templates:
Puppet theater for the little ones:

Good afternoon guests and blog readers! Today I again want to touch on the topic of how and how to engage a child at home. This topic is very close to me, because I have two children at home. Which require attention and care.
In the previous article, I told you about educational games with your favorite characters from PAW Patrol. For those who missed this issue, read here.
Today I want to offer another option for playing at home, this is a puppet theater. Of course, you can take your child to a real puppet theater, or you can create one at home.
Therefore, I will share with you some thoughts and developments to make such a miracle.
We will need: your desire and a little free time :)
To be honest, we have different theater options at home, such as this one wood.
My kids love it very much, because it is so funny and exciting when I show them a fairy tale and they sit and listen. Now I have an older son, he can show and tell fairy tales himself. Just think, this is very cool, because while playing, a child learns to retell his favorite fairy tale, build a dialogue, etc.
I think that all preschool children, as well as most children of primary school age, will not remain indifferent to such theaters. And if you come up with your own fairy tales with a funny plot and an intriguing ending, then it can actually turn out to be a real holiday for a child.
The simplest version of a do-it-yourself puppet theater is a paper one. It's easy to make it yourself. Well, or together with the child.
DIY paper finger puppet theater, patterns
Children really like this paper finger puppet theater, it attracts them and also develops fine motor skills. Look here.
The first option is a flat round finger theater. You need to make the head and upper part of the doll, put it on your finger using a paper ring or you can make cones.
Create these dolls with your child together, starting with character templates. Download them from my website by leaving me a comment below, I will be happy to send you the templates, print them and have fun playing.
After all, finger puppet theater is a whole magical art in which children learn about the world around them. Any child will enjoy being in the role of an artist, and this helps to believe in themselves and achieve success in the future. This is also good material for developing in children processes such as imagination, thinking, as well as the development of fine motor skills and much more.
The finger theater can be made from any available materials, such as paper, fabric, cardboard, corks, threads, cups, etc.
DIY tabletop paper theater, templates
I show my children this tabletop paper theater, which I made very quickly.
We will need:
- cups from Rastishka, illustrations, ice cream sticks
Stages of work:
1. Take any illustrations and cut out all the characters in the fairy tale along the outline.
3. Glue popsicle sticks onto each fairy tale character.
4. Now take the cups and make a horizontal hole at the top of each cup with a stationery knife.
5. Well, now insert the stick with the hero into the glass. Look how lovely it turned out. Very easy and simple, no worse than buying it in a store.
Ice cream sticks can be replaced with plastic forks or spoons.
If you don’t want to take illustrations from books, then you can find characters from any fairy tales on the Internet, save them, and then print them out, and then cut them out and glue them onto sticks. You can download from my website the following ready-made templates of heroes based on the following fairy tales: Kolobok, Teremok, Turnip, Hare's Hut, just write a comment or review below and I will send it to you by email.
Paper puppet theater “Walkers”
This kind of theater is very popular with young children; for such a theater you need your favorite characters and a couple of holes.
Believe me, children will happily play such games.
And if you invite friends over, it will be even more fun to play.
You will also receive samples of walkers of your favorite characters to your e-mail address.
Tabletop paper theater on plastic cups, corks, cubes
This option is also very easy to make; you can even draw the characters yourself or find and cut them out, and then glue them onto corks or cubes. Everything is brilliantly simple.
What do you think of this idea? All children love Kinder Surprise, and all of them have little donations left over from them, which you can pay for in such a theater.
DIY glove puppet
In reality, there are a lot of puppet theaters that can be built. Even at almost no cost. You just need to use your wits and do it! You can sew it, for example.
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 :)
Here is a short article for today. I think any of you have small children, you will be happy to diversify their leisure time. Choose any type of theater and do it with your child. And then enjoy a good mood and positivity. After all, all joint work strengthens your relationship! And the child will only be happy and delighted about this, and will definitely tell you: “Mommy, how I love you!” The most magical words in this world.
Well, I say goodbye to you for today. Until next time.
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.
Together with your child, make a puppet theater, stage and theatrical props at home. You will have something to surprise your guests and please your family on quiet family evenings. Fairy-tale characters will help feed, put to sleep, cheer, and educate the baby. Home theater is an excellent way of speech, emotional, and creative development. And most importantly, it is a joint activity that unites all family members. There are enough roles for everyone!
Organizing a home theater does not require large financial expenditures; a lot can be made from scrap materials with your own hands. Just be prepared to sacrifice your time. But it's worth it, believe me! The sparkling eyes of a child, a storm of emotions, invaluable experience, funny photographs in the family archive, applause from the audience - this is not the entire list of future “dividends”.
Hiding behind dolls, getting used to the images of heroes, children often say things that they would not say in ordinary life. When playing in the theater, a child plays out what worries him at the moment, and on behalf of a fairy-tale character he tells his own problems, experiences, and fears. Staging performances helps improve communication skills, develops expressive speech and the ability to formulate one’s thoughts.
Let's look at what a home theater can be like, what and how to make dolls from.
