There are so many games in the world that can and should be played with a child. And for most of them you may need a wide variety of paper houses. Such a craft, created by the joint efforts of the baby and parents, not only diversifies the entertainment, but also unites the family. After all, nothing so brings together as joint work and creativity. So let's get started.
Options
Paper buildings can be built in at least four ways. It all depends on what exactly such a toy is for. If this is a dollhouse, then a large box fifty centimeters high is ideal. In the walls, cut out doors, windows, hang curtains on ribbons, make partitions from the cardboards between the rooms. And the toy house, for example, for Barbie, is ready. If a small creature does not live in the house, then you can draw it on a sheet of paper, cut it out, fold it, glue it at the joints. Most often, this is how houses are made. There is a simpler and more interesting option, and we will dwell on it.
Simple but pretty
So, how to make a house of paper, if you don’t need to put toys there, but you just want to put it in the background, but so that the building has both an external part and an interior decoration? Very easy. To begin with, we’ll stock markers ( color pencils are also suitable ) and a landscape leaf.
Getting to work
Such paper houses are made quite quickly. First you need to fold the sheet across in half. We bend each of the resulting halves once again towards the middle. Now we expand each one in turn and bend the upper part down so that it looks like a house roof (that is, a triangle with one corner at the top and two at the bottom). We turn the leaf over to the other side and from the inside do the same folds. We got a house, flat in the middle. The next stage is the painting of the future toy. So, we take the folded sheet, unfold it, remembering where which parts were, and draw windows, doors, lawns and flowers on the one hand, and household items (paintings, furniture, books, dishes, anything) - on the other. We paint the roof tiles on top with colored pencils (if you wish, you can make it at least monotonous, at least thatched, it all depends on the current plan and idea). So you can create any houses from paper: even the hut of the evil and treacherous Baba Yaga, even a beautiful castle with ancient dragons and sleeping princesses, even a modest house in the village with a birch under the window. That's it, add up the resulting toy again. Now you can play.
The main thing is to do together
Parents need to remember that no matter what paper houses they decide to make, the main thing is to include the child in the process of creativity. We need not to do everything ourselves and let it all ready, but connect it to creation, drawing, and then to the game. Well, there are plenty of toys together, there would be a desire. As for buildings, the paper house template is a very flexible thing. If the kid wants to make his proposals to the plan, do not stop him, it will turn out only more interesting.
