Puppet theater with children templates. DIY puppet theater. Dolls made of cardboard and colored paper


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.

The photo shows what our mansion will look like from behind.


The tower is ready, the performance can begin.
The finger theater “Teremok” can be made in other ways, for example. Or . These models do not require any decorations. In addition, you can play with them with very young children 2-3 years old.

Learn how to create a puppet theater with your own hands. At the same time, characters can not only be sewn and molded, but also made from plastic spoons and wooden sticks.

DIY finger puppet theater

If you want to develop your baby’s fine motor skills, speech, thinking and simply be able to lift the mood of the whole family, then turn the room into a temple of art. To do this, you need to know how to make a finger puppet theater with your own hands.


For this you will need:
  • felt;
  • threads;
  • scissors.
As you can see, the characters in the fairy tale “Turnip” are cut out very simply. Each hero consists of two identical parts. But on one side you need to embroider facial features with threads. You can make them by cutting them out of dark felt and then gluing or sewing them on.

Fold 2 character blanks with the wrong sides together, sew along the edge using a machine or with a thread and a needle on your hands.

To make a beard for your grandfather, wrap several rows of thread around your fingers and cut them on one side. Fold these identical threads in half and sew the beard in place.


And here’s what the heroes of the fairy tale “The Ryaba Hen” might be like.


Cut out your grandfather's beard and bangs and grandmother's hair from gray felt. It will also help you create a mouse with a long tail. These are the kind of dolls you can sew for a puppet theater. If a baby will wear them, cut them so that they are the size of his fingers. If the performance will be performed for children by adults, then the fabric dolls should be slightly larger.

Check out another interesting idea. This could be a home puppet theater for staging the fairy tale “Turnip”. In kindergarten, it is better to have larger characters so that the whole group can see them from afar. But you can do something like this by taking:

  • modeling paste (preferably Jovi, which does not need to be burned, it hardens in air);
  • yellow and green paste Jovi Patcolor;
  • acrylic paints;
  • tassels;
  • markers;
  • stacks.

  1. Let's sculpt the grandfather first. Take a piece of pasta measuring 2x3 cm, roll it into a sausage, and form a cylinder. You should end up with something like a nesting doll with a body and head, and at the bottom there will be a notch for your finger.
  2. Separately sculpt the arms and attach them to the body. But outline the facial features, beard, and mustache using a stack.
  3. Using the same principle, sculpt the grandmother, granddaughter and animals. Once these characters are dry, paint them with acrylic paints.
  4. For the turnip, roll a ball of yellow paste, pull it out a little from the top, insert green plastic tops here, and secure.


When sculpting with paste, you will find that it dries quickly in the air, so periodically wet your fingers with water.


This is how you will get a finger puppet theater; with your own hands, a child will be able to act out the fairy tale “Turnip” or come up with his own plot with some of these characters.

DIY table theater

If you want to have a tabletop theater with paper dolls, then enlarge the following image. Print it on a color printer on thick paper. If this is not possible, attach a sheet of thin paper to the screen and transfer the outlines onto it. Then place it on cardboard, draw outlines, and let the child decorate the characters with colored pencils or paints. All that remains is to cut out the images, glue each one on the side and glue the top of the head to the head.


And here are some more templates that can be used to easily make theater dolls. With your own hands or by giving the blanks to your child, cut them out along the contours and glue them in pairs.


If a small rectangular sheet of colored paper is glued on the side, you get a small tube. It should be such that it fits well on your finger. Glue the ears, nose, eyes, front paws to the blank, and you will get a finger puppet theater hero.


These characters can be made from the most unexpected materials. See how to turn plastic spoons into stage plays.


To make these toys for the puppet theater, take:
  • plastic spoons;
  • colored paper;
  • scissors;
  • ready-made plastic eyes;
  • glue gun;
  • textile;
  • narrow tape, scissors.
Next follow these instructions:
  1. Using a glue gun, glue the finished eyes to the convex side of the spoon.
  2. Turn a piece of fabric tied with a ribbon into a dress. For a male character, just glue a bow tie to his neck.
  3. Cut strips of colored fringe paper on one side and glue this hair. They will also be replaced by pieces of colored cotton wool.
That's it, the children's puppet theater at home is ready. Take a large cardboard box, cover it with colored paper, and turn it over. Make slits in the bottom with a knife, insert spoons here and move the dolls along these holes, like along a path.

Other characters are controlled in the same way, to create which you will need:

  • ice cream sticks;
  • children's magazines;
  • glue;
  • scissors.
Let the child cut out pictures of people and animals from a magazine or an old book and paste them on sticks.


If you want to make another tabletop theater, then milk bottle caps will come into play. Plastic yogurt cups.


Glue paper fairy tale characters to the back of these items, and you can play out old stories with them or invent new ones. The background is created from a large sheet of cardboard, which is painted to match the theme.

How to make a screen for a puppet theater?

This is an essential attribute of puppet theater. Check out the simplest options:

  1. Cover the hole under the table with a cloth, tying its two corners to the top of one and the other leg. The child sits on the floor behind him and leads the characters at the level of the table top - just above it.
  2. Take an old curtain or sheet. Gather any of these fabrics onto a rope, tie the ends of the thread on one and the other side of the doorway. Make a rectangular cutout in the center of the top of any of these pieces. It should be at such a height that it is not visible to a child or adult sitting behind the curtain who are playing the role of puppeteers.
  3. A tabletop screen is made for the finger theater. The easiest way is to make it from cardboard. Take the box. It needs to be disassembled, covered with wallpaper or colored paper, and 2 sides bent so that a sufficiently sized canvas remains in the center. There is a cutout in it through which the puppeteer shows finger toys.


Here's how to make a plywood screen. For it you will need:
  • plywood;
  • jigsaw;
  • fabric or piece of wallpaper;
  • glue;
  • small door hinges.
Manufacturing instructions:
  1. Based on the presented dimensions, cut out 3 blanks from plywood: a central one and 2 side panels. Cover them with fabric.
  2. When the canvas is dry, attach the loops to the designated areas so that you can close the puppet theater screen and fold it.


See how to make a screen out of cardboard so you can show performances with mitten, glove, and cane puppets. It should be such that the puppeteer can fit there freely, standing up to his full height. If the performance is performed by children of different ages, then the tall ones will kneel, placing a pillow under them.

In order to make a screen, you will need:

  • PVA glue;
  • rope or lace;
  • carton boxes;
  • wallpaper;
  • stationery knife;
  • awl;
  • roulette;
  • wide brush;
  • long ruler;
  • rag.


You can make a screen for a puppet theater with your own hands as follows:
  1. The drawing is given for teenagers or adults whose height is 1 m 65 cm. If you are making a screen for children, reduce this figure.
  2. To make it durable, make it three-layer. To do this, stick a second one on one large sheet of cardboard, then a third one on the other side. Apply PVA glue with a wide brush. This way you will make the front part - the apron.
  3. The side elements are also made in three layers, but the folds, which you then glue to the apron, should consist of one layer.
  4. Connect the parts by gluing them. When the glue has dried, sew in these places with a lace, having previously made holes in the fastening points. Attach the top arch in the same way.


All that remains is to cover the screen with wallpaper of a dim color so that it does not distract from the theatrical performance.

We make do-it-yourself glove dolls

These can be seen in a real puppet theater. Dolls put gloves on their hands. By bending your fingers, you can make the fabric character tilt its head and move its arms.


Children's puppet theater will have many characters if you use the proposed template.


But it is not necessary to create all the heroes at once. Let's start with two - bunnies and piglets. Having understood how to make such doll gloves, you will be able to sew others, thereby gradually replenishing your theater.

If you then make human dolls, you can make the hairstyle from fabric or thread.

The thickness of the character's neck should be such that the puppeteer inserts his middle and index fingers here to control the hero of the play.


Before sewing puppets for the theater, place a puppeteer's glove on the re-cut pattern to decide whether the base is suitable. If not, then increase or decrease it. You can do without a glove by placing the puppeteer’s hand on the base pattern. Please note that the character will not be static, so you need to add a little on all sides for a loose fit so that the fabric of the action hero does not stretch while controlling him.

So, here's what you need to sew a glove doll:

  • faux fur and/or plain fabric;
  • tracing paper or transparent paper or cellophane;
  • pen;
  • scissors;
  • threads;
  • buttons for eyes.
Enlarge this pattern. Attach a transparent material (cellophane, paper or tracing paper) to it and redraw it. Cut along the outline.


Place the pattern on the fabric folded in half, cut with a 7 mm seam allowance. For a bunny it is better to take gray fabric or white fur, for a pig - pink.


If you want to draw facial features, tails, hands, hooves, then do it now, before sewing both halves of each character. Take special fabric paints that do not fade when washed. If there are none, then use watercolor, gouache, but first apply a PVA solution to the fabric, after it dries, paint this place, but use a minimum of water. When the paint is dry, add another layer of PVA on top to secure it.

But it is best to embroider the nose and mouth by stretching these areas onto a hoop or sewing blanks of appropriate colors and eye buttons.

Cut out a shirtfront from white fur for the bunny glove doll, sew its triangular part to the front half, and the semicircular part, in the form of a collar, to the back half. The tail is attached to the same reverse side, and white paws with or without pink claws are attached to both parts.


When small parts are sewn on, you can sew both halves of the doll on the inside out using a machine or on the face using your hands. In the latter case, use an over-the-edge seam or take a tape of a matching color and edge the side seam with it.

Other glove dolls, for example, a pig, are also created using this technique.


When the sides are stitched on all sides, hem the bottom. The characters' ears can be stuffed with cotton wool or padding polyester. Fill the pig’s nose with any of these materials, only after that sew this “patch” to the head. Applique it on his cheeks, giving them a blooming look. It remains to sew a few yellow threads between the ears, and another glove doll is ready.


Now you know how to sew characters for a puppet theater, if you want to see this too, then watch the following stories.

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.

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.

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:

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

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 :)

Shadow theater "The Gruffalo" out of the box

Create your own shadow theater based on the popular book “The Gruffalo” by Julia Donaldson (,).

“The Gruffalo” is a fairy tale in verse for adults to read to children. A little mouse walks through a dense forest and, in order to escape from a fox, owl and snake, invents the terrible Gruffalo - an animal who loves to eat foxes, owls and snakes.
But can a resourceful mouse outwit all the hungry predators? After all, he knows very well that there are no Gruffalos... Or do they?

Necessary materials:
  • printable hero templates (download);
  • A4 paper;
  • black cardboard;
  • wooden skewers;
  • scotch;
  • glue;
  • cardboard box;
  • scissors.
How to do

1. Download and print templates with characters for the shadow theater. Glue onto black cardstock.

2. Cut out the figures and glue a wooden skewer to each.

3. We make a screen (screen) for a shadow theater.

Lay the box flat. On the large rectangular parts of the box, draw a frame, stepping back 1.5-2 cm from the edges. Cut along the marked lines.


4. Assemble the box in its original state, but with the colored side facing inward.


WE RECOMMEND LABYRINTH.RU

5. Take a sheet of white A4 paper and cut it to the size of the box. Cut out a rectangle of the same size from black cardboard.

6. Cut out trees from black cardboard and glue them onto a white sheet.

7. Glue the paper to the inside of the box as shown in the photo below.

8. Make a slot at the bottom of the box for the figures.


9. Secure the screen to the edge of the table with tape.

10. Install the lamp at the back at a distance of 2-3 meters from the screen. In order for shadows to be clear, the light must fall directly and not from the side. Be sure to warn your child to be careful around the hot lamp.

The shadow theater is ready! Turn off the lights, invite an audience, and perform a shadow show.

Hand shadow theater

Hand shadow theater is one of the simplest types of shadow art. To equip it you will need the most common items - a table lamp and a screen - a large sheet of white paper or cloth. If the room has light walls, a theatrical performance of light and shadow can be shown directly on the wall.

The pictures show how you can use your hands to create silhouettes of animals, birds, and people. With practice, you can bring the shadows to life and show your own story.



  • You can start introducing children to shadow theater at the age of 1.5-2 years. The first classes should be held as a theatrical performance, when the roles are played by an adult, and the children act as spectators. After the child understands the rules and traditions of theatrical art, he can be included in the game as a participant in the action. Children play and voice roles, learn texts and poems. At first, trust small, simple roles. Then gradually make it more difficult.
  • Cardboard figures of shadow theater actors should be black, then they will be contrasting and noticeable on the screen. To make your own figures, use curly stencils. If you plan to reuse your homemade figures, we recommend laminating them.
  • To ensure clear shadows, place the light source behind and slightly to the side of the screen. The light source will be a regular table lamp or flashlight.
  • The size of the shadow on the screen depends on the distance from the figure to the lamp. If you bring the figure closer to the screen, its shadow will become small and clear. If you place it further away, the shadow will increase in size and the contours will be blurred.
  • To ensure that the decorations do not move during the performance, attach them to the screen itself using tape or paper clips.
  • What paper, tracing paper or a white sheet are perfect as a screen. The smaller the screen you use, the thinner and more transparent it needs to be, and the brighter the light source you need.
  • In order to create a theatrical atmosphere, you can draw a poster, tickets and even arrange an intermission.

Chanterelle Patterns:


Manufacturing technology of the finger puppet “Fox”.
Before we get started, let’s remember the basic safety rules when working with scissors and needles.
Store needles and pins in a designated place (pincushion). Do not put needles or pins in your mouth or stick them into your clothing.
Do not use rusty needles and pins.
Do not leave the scissor blades open while working.
Don't cut as you go.
Making a pattern for a finger puppet will not take you much time. First you need to decide on the size. The base of the toy should be about the height of your index finger. Draw the body and other details. Don’t forget to make allowances for the parts that are inserted into the base.
We select materials for our chanterelle. We transfer the details onto paper and cut them out.
Base – 2 parts;
Head – 1 piece;
Muzzle – 1 piece;
Ears – 2 parts;
Tail – 1 piece;
Ponytail tip – 1 piece;
Paws – 2 parts.


Transfer the pattern to felt. We pin larger parts to the material with pins, and outline small ones with tailor's chalk.


We distribute the parts in places.


We adjust the right foot to the base. We make fastenings.


Adjusting the second foot. We make fastenings.


We adjust the muzzle to the head. Align the edges with scissors.


Sew the ears to the head using a triple tack.


We design the ponytail - we fit the tip of the ponytail onto the part. Align the edges with scissors.


We connect the parts of the body along the contour. Don't forget to insert a tail on the side. We make fastenings. Align the edges along the contour.


Using glue we attach the head to the body. We work with glue carefully, as traces may appear on the surface of the material. We make the eyes and nose from large black beads. They can be glued or sewn with threads in color.


Manufacturing technology of the finger puppet “Mashenka”.
A distinctive feature of the execution will be the processing of the head.
Let's draw the pattern. We select materials.
Base (dress) – 2 parts;
Sleeves – 2 parts;
Hands – 2 parts;
Bast shoes - 2 parts;
Head – 1 piece;
Headscarf (front part) – 1 piece;
Headscarf (back view) – 1 piece;
Braid – 1 piece;
Spout – 1 piece;
Bangs – 1 piece.


Patterns of the doll “Mashenka”


We cut out the blanks. We place the parts in their places.


We adjust the sleeves on the dress, put handles along the bottom of the sleeves (without adjusting them).


We adjust the lace along the bottom of the dress. We make fastenings.


We adjust the bast shoes. We make fastenings. Sew the dress along the contour. Align the edges along the contour.


We adjust the bangs and nose to the head. To prevent the spout from sliding under the sewing machine foot, it must first be glued.


Glue the head to the base. Glue a scarf of self-adhesive felt on top. We fasten the braid between the two parts of the scarf. Align the edges.


We secure the edges of the scarf with machine stitching. We make fastenings.


Glue on the eyes - beads. Brown the cheeks with a red pencil.


Mashenka's eyes can be decorated using special accessories for needlework - peepholes.


This is what we got!
