Somewhere in a fairy forest
Where there are no paths and roads
Where dew is drunk from the flowers
Both the bee and the moth
There, under the old pine tree -
Small teremochek ...

Finger theater is the foundation for the development of your child's abilities and talents.
Finger puppets can be made of paper, knitted or sewn. Today we will consider the technology of making a house from felt - an easy-to-process material that does not require additional operations for processing sections. In handicraft stores, it is presented in a wide colors(with the help of colored pencils it can be easily shaded), with different thicknesses and densities, at an affordable price. The most main characteristic felt is naturalness, health safety.

We will build two huts
Animals will come to visit us.
Together they got down to business
And the work began to boil.
The hare builds from a splint,
And the fox is made of ice
Not a hut, but beauty.
Merinova Elena
The first stage of work is making a template for a two-sided house (log and ice).
Templates:

We transfer the details to paper and cut them out. We transfer the pattern to felt. We pin the larger parts to the material with pins, outline the small ones with tailor's chalk.
For the base of the ice house, we take blue felt, since it was on a self-adhesive base for strength, it is necessary to put the part on the substrate.

In order for the contours of the house to coincide in further processing, you need to put the finished base of the ice house on the brown felt with the front part down, circle it with chalk and cut it out.

The base of the house is ready.

We distribute all the details in places.

Log cabin
Set aside the details of roofs and windows, leave round logs. Draw straight lines between the logs.

Set aside the details. Sew the chalk lines with a double stitch. Use threads darker than the material.

Remove the rest of the chalk with a piece of felt (just rub with the material and the trace will disappear). With a black colored pencil, shade the logs along the line, and with a brown pencil, a little higher than the line.

Sew round logs with a spiral stitch and bartack.

Shade the line with a brown pencil.

Top stitch, bartack.

Stitch middle roof, sew bartacks.

Stitch the lower roof, sew bartacks.

Set up windows, perform locking.

Cut holes in windows.

Ice house
Topstitch the roof and snowdrift from below onto the base, perform the setting.

Stitch all windows, perform locking.

Cut holes in windows.

Join the base of the house along the contour with a machine stitch, perform bartacks, cut irregularities with scissors.

Decorate the ice house with blue beads.

Our house is quite stable, as we used a backing for blue felt.

There is a teremok-teremok in the field,
It is not low, not high, not high.

Bunny built a hut
bast, warm.

And Chanterelle next to Bunny
from ice - cold.
Svetlana Ledkova

In his works, the outstanding pedagogue-innovator Sukhomlinsky stated: "The mind of a child is located at the tips of his fingers." And this is no coincidence - the cerebral cortex has a very large area responsible for the work of the hands. Therefore, the child's intelligence level directly depends on the degree of his fingers. All kinds of finger games, including finger games, will help a child develop jewelry accuracy in hand coordination. Moreover, such a theater is a whole arsenal of tools for child development. Judge for yourself.

What do finger theater games give?

This is not only a fun pastime and an opportunity to entertain a group of children, but also a very rewarding activity. The beneficial effects of being fond of finger theater are as follows:

stimulation of the development of fine motor skills;
familiarity with concepts such as color, size, shape;
development of skills in spatial perception (concepts: right, left, side by side, in front of each other, etc.);
development of imagination, memory training, concentration of attention;
activation of speech function and expansion of vocabulary;
the formation of creativity and artistic skills;
acquaintance with elementary mathematical concepts.

Besides, children's theater- finger, shadow or classic, - implies familiarity with fiction, the basics of stage skills, plastics, etc. All this contributes to broadening the horizons, enriching the child's speech, developing emotionality, sociability, curiosity, awakening interest in creativity. And if you decide to make a finger theater with your own hands with your child, then to all this you can add such qualities as love of work, development of perseverance and concentration of attention.

Do-it-yourself finger theater

We will need a sheet of paper or tracing paper, a pencil, colorful felt, scissors, a brush, glue, threads the colors you want, needle or sewing machine. And, of course, there must be a desire in a good mood to make a finger theater out of felt with your own hands. Patterns of heroes can be taken from this article or you can come up with your own using simple

Patterns for sewing

Who exactly will perform on the stage of your theater is up to you, or rather, your child: these can be heroes of Russian folk tales, modern animated series or characters from everyday life. The main thing is that such a game should be a joy to everyone. Using our templates, following the instructions below, you can easily make four funny characters for a theatrical action called "Zoo": a lion, a cat, a bear and a hippo.

Accordingly, you will get a finger theater made of felt (with your own hands).

The patterns of all the characters are very simple, even a child from elementary school can handle them.

But, undoubtedly, parents will also be interested in participating in the process.

Step-by-step instruction

Print a photo with the characters or simply attach a sheet of paper (tracing paper) to its image on the monitor.
Circle the figure you are interested in with a pencil, cut it out. Attach the resulting template to the appropriate color felt and outline its outline on the fabric. This will give you the face of the doll's base. Cut it out with scissors.
Turn the template over the other side, attach it to the felt, outline, cut out - this will be the back of the character.
In the same way, make patterns for all the small elements of the figures (clothes, accessories, eyes, etc.).
Important! First of all, it is necessary to completely make the front and back of the figures, and only then sew the finished ones together. Glue the cut out small elements to the front side: paws, mane, etc. Start work with the largest parts located directly on the base, moving to the higher ones. Leave small details like eyes or specks at the very end.
Fold both finished sides of the figure with the wrong sides to each other and sew them together.Also, for this purpose, you can use a sewing machine, making a contour seam at a distance of ~ 5 mm from the edge. Do not forget to leave the bottom of the figures unstitched - a finger should be threaded into it.

Here, in fact, is the whole master class. The finger theater called "Zoo" is ready. Now you can show views. But it will be better if you still make a house for the heroes, where they will live in free from concert activities time, as well as a stage for performances.

Small house

When you made a finger theater from felt with your own hands, the patterns of the house need to be done taking into account the size and number of characters in action. If you plan to replenish the composition of the troupe in the future, then this fact must also be foreseen. The house can be sewn from the same felt. It can look like a book with pages-pockets for felt figures and contain the scene (for example, as shown in the picture below) or be a flat rectangle-handbag - it all depends on your desire and capabilities.

Scene

The scene is even easier. In every home, you will probably find an unnecessary shoebox (or similar). By cutting a rectangular hole in the base of the box or its lid and placing the box on the side, you get a scene that resembles a street stage.

Well, if you decorate it with a curtain and backstage, for example, from the same felt, then your heroes can already feel like actors Bolshoi Theater... And if you come up with such a design so that the stage opening is closed, for example, by a shutter, then in such a box-theater they can "live" even in their free time from performances.

Your home theater

The teacher S. I. Merzlyakova said: "The theater is a magical land in which the child rejoices while playing, and in the game he learns the world." Your finger theater, templates for which you can borrow from this article or come up with your own, will allow your child to plunge headlong into theatrical activity. Usually children preschool age they easily and with pleasure join the game, energetically embody the images, turning into real artists.

Playing is serious business, but fun at the same time. Connect children to it - theatrical games can be used as an unobtrusive, but at the same time effective pedagogical tool, because during this process the child feels relaxed and free. In the process of joint work on the intonation and expressiveness of the characters' replicas, as well as their own statements, in an invisible way for the child, his vocabulary is activated,

By connecting children of different ages to the game, when the elders show performances to the kids or make joint productions with them, you teach the children to work in a team in a playful way and educate them to have a good attitude towards each other. Practice shows that a hobby for finger theater improves the mood of children, instills confidence in them, makes them freer and more relaxed, and the skills acquired during the game are easily transferred to children. daily life- these are songs, dances, poems, riddles and jokes.

To be continued!

Work organized in this way often contributes to the fact that such a theatrical play becomes a method of children's self-expression and self-realization of a child in different types creativity. Therefore, it is possible that, having got a taste, your child will want to make another finger theater out of felt with his own hands, patterns for which he will already come up with!

"There is a teremok in the field ..."

Well, for those who want to sew finger toys with their own hands, we offer patterns and a job description.

The pattern of the house, I think, you yourself will draw, but for sewing its inhabitants we have prepared patterns.

You will need:

A simple pencil or chalk for transferring patterns;

Felt orange, yellow, white, black, light and dark brown, light and dark gray, pink, green and light green colors, as well as felt any color for teremka;

Simple and curly scissors;

Threads of the right colors;

A sewing machine (but you can also manually).

DIY felt finger theater description and patterns:

1. Patterns of all toys consist of the main part and the front part.

Basically, the front part is sewn first (here we are talking about the faces of the heroes of the fairy tale), and then it is connected to the back so that there is a hole for the finger at the bottom.

2. Ears and paws felt toys , as well as the tail of the mouse, are sewn in at the moment of joining the front and back halves. Or, if you want them to be stronger, you can also sew them to the back of the main part, and then sew on the front of the toy.

3. The tail of the fox and wolf is formed before sewing and sewn to the back.

There is also a fly pattern in the picture (it is in some versions of this fairy tale, sew it as you wish). The only remark is that there are no fly wings in the pattern, but they are easy to draw by yourself.

These are the highlights. I think it is understood even by beginners. Happy sewing . You can always ask any question regarding sewing toys for do-it-yourself finger theater in comments.

Bee made of felt (from "Luntik")

Here is our last hero - Bee made of felt ... For those who have not yet sewed the previous felt finger toys, here are the links:

So, we need:

Felt (there is no way without it :-)) flesh, brown, yellow, light and dark orange, gray;

Eyes (I glued on purchased felt eyes, because they fit, but you can cut and sew from felt as well);

Scissors, threads.

1. Cut out the details of the desired colors according to the pattern. We are guided by photography.

2. As shown in the figure, we decorate the back part (we sew to the main part first a hairstyle with a mustache, then gray wings and handles), as well as the front part (we sew on legs, feet, stripes, put on and sew on shorts, sleeves, a collar and a tie). We decorate the face.

3. We put on and sew the front part to the back, leaving a hole for the finger at the bottom. Then we sew on the face. Here's what happens:

DIY felt toys. Lacing - hedgehog.

Dear readers of the rubric " Felt toys "! We continue to acquaint you with the works of the fetro-masters.

And today we present to your attention do-it-yourself developing felt toy.

This is a hedgehog who loves to pick all sorts of berries, fruits, mushrooms on his thorns.)) Of course, children are invited to help fix these goodies with a string. Olga's work from St. Petersburg.

This toy is designed for children from a year to ... while they are interested in this activity.))

The benefits of lacing in a kid's life are enormous! Especially nowadays, when we buy shoes for children in the kindergarten and on the street "with Velcro", when we try to put on blouses "with a zipper". Of course, this makes life easier for both the child and us, but as a result of this, general motor skills are poorly developed, and specifically - hands, modern children are not ready to write and many have significant problems with speech. In the twentieth century, Maria Montessori conducted research on the dependence of speech development on the development of fine movements of the hands. And the results revealed this relationship. Therefore, it is very important to develop fine motor skills.

It also happens that everything is in order with speech, but a child cannot tie the laces on sneakers at the age of 5, and this is also not the norm!

By the way, my daughter learned this at the age of three and is now doing it faster than me. You can watch the video at the end of the article so that I don't be unfounded. Sorry for the braggart, I just want overly caring parents to understand that it is better to spend time with these skills with early childhood, because then it will be much easier for the child, and there will be time for something else, more interesting.))

Well, we'll go back to the lacing of the hedgehog - developing

Here's what we got!

My first works.

Design options for the finger puppet "Frog".

Design options for the "Petushok" finger puppet.

Design options for finger puppets - little men.

I sewed two sets: for home and for kindergarten.

Dear friends, we present to your attention a master class that will help organize a finger theater for kids with the participation of Russian characters. folk tale"Teremok" or even make an amazing interactive book.

You can make finger puppets out of felt. Exactly how, the master Ekaterina Moseichuk, the author of the blog "Miracle Workshop", will tell and show you fabulous deeds.

All the characters from the series "The First Tales by the Hands of Mom", on which I carry out joint sewing, are universal. They can be sewn for a developing book, a rug, for playing flannelegraph and on fingers. This master class is dedicated to the characters of the Teremok fairy tale.

List of materials:

⦁ felt (Korean hard, eco-polyester, 1.2 mm thick);

⦁ sewing threads;

⦁ for muzzles: acrylic paints(you can use permanent markers) or sewing threads (muline);

⦁ Velcro (hard part - hook);

⦁ scissors, sewing machine;

⦁ hot glue or Moment Crystal glue.

You will also need character patterns. You can download them from the link:

Important! The characters are finger-like, it adds a little work, so I save time on the design of the faces - I draw them.

If you will be embroidering the faces and lines of the body, do this before stitching the details. Drawing the body, especially with a line, is not required.

The silhouettes of the characters are also understandable. The choice is yours!

Pay attention to the following nuance: the seamy part is not cut out immediately, or it is cut out with allowances along the entire contour (it serves as the basis on which the front parts are sewn, and then the excess is cut off).

This nuance and many other subtleties encountered by newcomers to felt are described in my free tutorials.

Hare

To make the hare, and especially its ears, neat, we will sew the detail of the white insert on the gray base. After that we will attach the torso pattern and circle it with a disappearing marker. If the ears have moved out somewhere, we correct the pattern ourselves. Marker!

Cut out the detail. Sew Velcro onto the seamy base.

Fold the details with the wrong sides inward. Insert the upper legs between the parts. We determine the location of the paws by trying on with the muzzle!

We make a line from one lower paw through the top and return to the other paw. We fix the threads well at the entrance of the finger.

Ears can be stitched, or you can leave one layer. The felt from the seamy side has not yet been cut off completely, since you can still sew on the head, and then cut it off.

Sew on the muzzle. And we cut out the hare without damaging the ears and paws.

It remains to draw a muzzle. Comparing hares in the VK group, I came to the conclusion: there should be a minimum of "make-up". Take the gray thread. And don't go for a black thick mustache!

And also, I like to connect the hare's legs with glue and give him a carrot.

Mouse

We sew Velcro on the seamy part. We put the front part on the purl base, insert and fix the tail, at the end of which a knot is tied, which is inserted between the parts.

We make a line along the contour of the main part of the mouse, that is, we sew the front part of the body to the base.

Sew on the muzzle along the contour of the head so that the ear remains without lines. Carefully cut out the mouse.

It remains to glue the ear, draw the eye and, if desired, the mouth and teeth.

Wolf

Let's cut out the details. Sew Velcro on the front side of the seamy part. With a contrasting thread and a straight stitch, we draw a drawing on the front part of the body.

We also sew the tail by sewing on the base. The details are small, it is more convenient to sew them by placing parchment.

And the white tip can also be glued at the end of the work.

We connect the main parts with the wrong sides inward, not forgetting to insert the tail and collar. Stitching starts under the tail, goes over the top, and ends on the front foot.

We sew the head. We start sewing from the lower jaw, walk along the neck and when we reach the second ear, stop so that the needle remains in the lower position (if the functions of the machine allow).

Insert the jaw and continue stitching along the contour of the head detail.

It remains to tie and hide the strings in the thickness of the felt, cut off the excess and finish drawing the eyes, nose and angry eyebrows.

Bear

Let's cut out the details. Sew Velcro on the front side of the seamy part. Sew the belly and muzzle on the front part.

Sew the parts with the wrong sides inward. Cut out and finish the eyes and nose. If your bear is made of dark felt, the eyes most likely need to be emphasized with circles of white felt or paint.

Fox

Sew Velcro on the front side of the seamy part. With a contrasting thread and a straight stitch, we draw on the front part. It is convenient for me to go from the paw down to the tail to the left and, returning along this line, further along the entire tail.

We fold the details with the wrong sides inward and make a line from the neck along the paws to the tail line, where there will be an entrance for the finger.

We insert the collar. And we go with a line from the face, above the collar, around the head and to the tail, to the place at the entrance of the finger.

It remains to cut the fox, put the collar and the tip of the tail on hot glue.

You also need to draw the eyes (carefully watch the location) and the tip of the nose.

Maybe you’ll think: why didn’t I go over the collar with a line? Because I don't like this dark stitching on the collar, and changing the thread is much more troublesome than later taking all the characters and other elements and glueing small details to them.

Frog

Let's cut out the details. Sew a button to the seamy part.

Let's shape the frog's mouth. For the mouth, just use a piece of felt that is larger than the pattern. Place under the piece and sew along the contour of the mouth. Then correct the look from the wrong side.
