Idea 2. Wall panels, paintings and applications
It is known that you can draw not only with paints on paper, but also ... with paper on paper. Such activities are no less exciting and useful for the development of hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, perseverance, the ability to plan your work, combine colors, shapes and materials.
The following selection of photos presents ideas for paintings, panels and paper applications for children of different levels of complexity.
By the way, the application can be made up of parts of the same shape, but different sizes and colors. It can be circles or hearts. The following slider provides examples of such paper crafts and schemes for their manufacture.
And here are some more examples of interesting paper crafts of various types.
Now we offer you to get acquainted with a master class on making an original, but very easy paper craft. We have no doubt that such cute figurines will help instill in your child an interest in reading books.

Step 8. Now glue the book to the hands of the figurine and finally put it on the table or hang it on the wall, for example, near the bookshelf.
Idea 3. Hats
All children love games with reincarnations and for this they use everything that comes to hand. To provide a child with props, you can make fantasy hats with him. By the way, such colored paper crafts can be made for one or more children for a performance, a masquerade, a themed birthday or any costume party. In the next selection of photos you can see examples of a variety of paper "hats" - from pirate cocked hats to wigs.
Today we invite you and your kid to make a hat in the shape of a dinosaur head. This workshop is so simple that a child as young as 3 years old will need very little help from you.
Materials:
- 3 sheets of colored paper;
- Glue stick or PVA;
- Scotch;
- Scissors.
Instruction:
Step 1 Cut 4 strips about 3 cm wide along the long side of the paper. Two of these strips will turn into a headband, and the other two into the crossbars of the “cap”, on which dinosaur spikes will be glued.
Step 2 Take two other sheets of paper and cut them into strips about 5 cm wide along the short side of the paper. You can measure and cut the strips by eye, but in the end you should get 5 strips from each sheet. We need these blanks for the manufacture of spikes.
Step 3. Fold each spike blank in half and, stepping back from the fold by about 1.5 cm, draw a markup in the form of a triangle up to the very edge (see photo). Next, just cut out future spikes.
Step 4. Glue the two crossbars, and then glue the spikes on them in a row as shown in the photo below.
Step 5. While the glue dries, fit the two pieces of the headband to fit the circumference of your child's head, and then connect them in a circle with tape.
STEP 6 Now let's get back to the spikes. Turn the crossbar over so that the spikes are on the table and carefully bend each of them (see photo). Form the first spike: cover one side of it with glue and connect it to the other. Use paper clips to secure the spike until the glue dries. Repeat these steps with the rest of the spikes.
Step 7 After the glue has dried, remove the staples from the spikes and simply glue the crosspiece to the headband at the front and back.
Idea 4. Toy figures from a toilet paper sleeve
Toilet paper rolls are great crafts for kids that just need a little embellishment. For example, you can make such wonderful toys out of them.

As you know, light paper crafts are very useful for children of any age. The first interest arises in the baby as early as the age of 1 year, it is during this period that you can begin to teach him how to make simple crafts from various materials.
Important! It is worth noting that such creativity develops fine motor skills in the baby, it positively affects the perception of the world around and the ability to think creatively.
Of course, in order for the baby's talents to develop successfully, parents should understand how to properly teach their child to perform a particular task.
paper butterfly
The first rule that every parent should remember is that during the period of development, only those tasks should be given to the child that will be within his power. For example, easy DIY paper crafts will be very interesting and simple for a child. In this case, it must be borne in mind that the baby himself must do the bulk of the work, otherwise there will be no benefit from such an activity.
There are many interesting workshops that talk about how to make easy paper crafts with your own hands and at the same time spend a minimum of time on this lesson.
Christmas trees made of paper
Some of them will be given below, and it will also be told about which craft is best for what age.
As mentioned above, light paper crafts are suitable not only for older children, but also for the smallest. So, for example, kids under the age of 2 years willingly participate in this process. True, in this case it is important to remember that such an activity should not take more than 10 minutes, otherwise the baby will get tired of everything and he will abandon this business. You need to monitor the behavior of the crumbs during this task. For example, if he begins to lose all interest, then it is clear that such a task turned out to be either too difficult for him or, on the contrary, very simple.
Easy paper crafts are suitable not only for older children, but also for the little ones.
If we talk about tasks for children of this age, then they can be divided into several groups:
- Easy paper crafts, the essence of which is that you need to cut out certain figures and stick them on a blank sheet of paper. In other words, the chaotic fastening of individual pieces of paper to each other.
- Crafts that are based on the fact that the pieces must be attached in a chaotic manner.
- The type of crafts is when individual figures must be attached to a pre-designated place.
Easy craft for little ones
For example, if we are talking about the first option, then here the task has a simple essence. Some figures or pieces are cut out of colored paper, and then they are glued onto another sheet. In this task, it is very important to initially teach the baby how to use glue. He must understand how the leaves are glued together, how to fasten them correctly, whether it is necessary to press one part of the application to another, and so on. In other words, this is a variant of getting to know the crumbs with paper and glue.
Important! The task of an adult is to teach the baby to properly hold the glue in his hands, show how to spread it on paper, and do not forget to show that when the glue is smeared on the base, the sheet itself must be held with the left hand.
In this case, the pencil should be strictly perpendicular to the sheet. This is very important, because if, when getting acquainted with stationery, you do not explain to the child all the basics of the creative process, then it will be very difficult to retrain him later. And, accordingly, he will perform all subsequent tasks incorrectly.
Dandelions from paper and napkins
Of course, you need to give the crumbs the opportunity to independently complete the entire task from start to finish. Some parents, fearing that the baby will do something wrong, perform the task themselves. But this is absolutely wrong.
The second stage of acquaintance with paper and glue
After the child has learned to perform elementary operations with paper and glue, you should show him the very technique of creating various pictures and postcards. Of course, even the lightest paper crafts will be insanely interesting for the baby. Of course, if adults make every effort to do so.
The second stage of creating simple crafts is that the child must learn how to properly arrange the various details on a piece of paper. Of course, at this stage he will not need to create any specific drawings or lines. He just has to learn how to glue various figures wherever he wants. Now it is very important that he himself learns to decide how his future work will look better. Adults can only say what figure to get as a result, and the baby decides for himself where exactly to glue the different parts of the craft.
Paper craft - chamomile
If you really want to intervene in this process, then you can simply suggest why it would be better, and where exactly you need to stick this piece of paper. But you can’t put pressure on the child, at this stage he is only learning to create his future masterpieces.
During such crafts, you can create figures in the form of a sun, a cloud, a house, a flower and other very simple objects.
Easy craft options
The last stage in creating beautiful and original crafts is that the baby begins to realize himself where to glue the various parts of the figure correctly. To do this, you should prepare in advance all the necessary tools for the implementation of a creative idea. Most often, such creative masterpieces are made from two or three types of colored paper, as well as a white sheet. Do not forget that you will need glue and scissors. If the parent does not want the child to pick up scissors, you can first make a blank and cut out the necessary figures from colored paper yourself. To make really light and beautiful paper crafts, you should use at least 3 or even more colors.
Christmas tree decorations made of paper
For example, if you make a Christmas tree with balls, then you should initially glue the Christmas tree itself, then the balls, and at the end an asterisk. To make the final picture brighter, you can use more flowers and make many different jewelry blanks for the forest beauty in advance.
Paper crocodile
Below is a list of basic crafts that will be of interest to children:
- a tree on which apples grow;
- a hedgehog with apples and mushrooms on its thorns;
- a basket with many berries;
- jar with vitamins;
- a tree from which leaves fall;
- fish that swim in the aquarium.
Application - fish
By the way, to make the process of creating an application faster, you can print ready-made blanks of such figures as a Christmas tree, a hedgehog, a tree, a jar, a basket. As a result, the baby will need to glue only small figures.
paper tree
You can also watch tutorial videos, which are very numerous on the Internet, they talk about how to create easy paper crafts.
What is of particular interest to the child?
After the child learns how to create very easy paper crafts, they can be shown videos that show how to make a more complex application. Thus, it will turn out to develop the baby's imagination and skills. Of course, most often this happens already when the baby is at least 1.5 years old.
To begin with, an adult should draw on the base sheet the outlines of the figures that the child will glue. This will help him visually understand what kind of application should be the result. After he learns how to carefully glue the figures along the contours, you can proceed to creating crafts without drawing these same contours.
Multicolored paper caterpillar
In this way, you can create:
- caterpillar;
- snowman
- dandelion;
- a bunch of balloons;
- a house that is built from blocks;
- building with windows
- machine and much more.
paper grapes
Of course, these are the main figures, it all depends on the skills of the baby and his patience. If he has perseverance, and he likes to create simple postcards and pictures, then you can choose more complicated figures. And if it lasts a maximum of 10 minutes, then it is better to choose something simpler.
Craft - paper hedgehog
Some parents also experiment with different magazines and newspapers. They simply cut them into pieces, and then glue them back together with the kids. For example, if a traffic light is drawn in the picture, it can be cut out and then glued back.
paper snowman
Important! Easy paper crafts for kids are a great way to teach your child independence and develop their ability to think abstractly.
It is very important in this process to trust him, to give him as much freedom as possible. You should not limit him in his movements and constantly suggest what and how to do. Let him initially understand everything himself and learn how to create paper crafts easily and quickly, and after that you can start giving him more complex tasks. This is exactly what is described in the well-known Montessori method. The only thing to take care of in advance is to show the child that there are certain rules. For example, to tell that you can only glue at this table, the paper lies here, and you need to put it back here, and so on. Then the baby will grow up independent, but at the same time he will understand what can and cannot be done.
I love to create stylish and unusual things. The best sources for inspiration are craft fairs and various exhibitions of folk art. But at the same time, I never bypass flea markets and small shops with small things! It is there that it is easy to find an unsightly trinket that, with just scissors and glue, can be turned into a magical thing.
Once upon a time in an expensive store designer decor I saw the clock. Immediately noticed an unusual dial! I really wanted to buy these, but the desire disappeared instantly when I looked at the price tag. The watch was so beautiful that on the same day I made the same one. And I didn’t have to buy anything, I had a book and an old alarm clock, and it took very little time - just one hour!
Since that moment, I have gathered a large collection of accessories and decor items that were made from improvised means in a minimum of time. Simple DIY crafts will always come in handy if you need an original gift and want to spend time usefully.
Easy DIY crafts
Today's editorial "So simple!" I have prepared for you a selection of useful things that everyone can do on their own. Use your imagination and creativity to create your own masterpieces!
- Headphone clips
A very useful tool for music fans. See detailed instructions on how to make a clip, and you can decorate to your taste with decorative tape or paints.
- Clock in a book
Even an inexperienced master can make such original watches. If there is no drill, pierce the hole with a nail using a hammer. The main difficulty lies in precisely assembling and fixing the clock mechanism well. To prevent the book from falling apart, glue the pages or make a fastener on the cover.
See what clock can be made from different books.
- Tin case
A great idea to please a lover of a certain brand of beer or soda. All you need is a sharp knife, maximum care and a little patience.
- Stands for knives
This is the only way to store knives in my kitchen. Very comfortable and stylish, and bamboo sticks can be replaced with beans, corn or colorful pasta. Even a couple of old books will do just fine!
- Stylish notepad
When there are no ideas for a gift, in just one hour you can make an expensive notebook. You will need good thread and clean paper. Simply cut out the desired sheets, fold in half and sew in two places along with the leather cover. The clasp can be made to your liking.
- Leather little things
I always ask relatives not to throw away old leather coats and jackets. So many accessories can be made from pieces of leather! And it is not necessary to sew at all, the maximum is to put a couple of rivets. Pay attention to the Japanese bag below in the picture, a very original solution!
- Bright sweatshirt
No one is immune from accidental stains on their favorite things. But do not rush to throw them away, watercolor paints will make clothes a work of art. And you don't have to be an artist to do it.

Bright cotton raglan will make a great neck accessory.

If your favorite thing is torn in the most visible place, it can always be saved. Use a bright fabric to distract attention, the result will surprise you!
- Towel hanger
This item, necessary in every home, is not cheap, and it is very difficult to find a comfortable and stylish one. If minimalism is your style, a beautifully bent rod made of brass, aluminum or any other metal alloy will completely replace such a hanger. Heat the folds over the gas burner and bend them, wearing thick gloves on your hands.
- Jewelry for girls
My daughter only wears these rainbow springs to school! These jewelry are durable, strong and your girlfriends will definitely not have such jewelry. Just wind satin or rep ribbons around wooden sticks, heat for 10 minutes in the oven at 180 degrees and let cool. Don't forget to melt the edges so the tape doesn't fray. Glue the tapes to the clip or any convenient elastic band!
- unusual vase
