[Master-class] Finger theater of paper (Part1)

Continuing the theme of the fingered theater, I want to give some recommendations on its organization. (Part 1) Before making the characters for the future performance, you first need to read to the kid a fairy tale, which is then planned to be played. And it should be done slowly, with an expression that matches the intonation, changing the strength of the voice and imitating the characters.

After that you need to discuss the heroes of the fairy tale, analyze the behavior of each character, their positive and negative qualities. Be sure to answer any questions the child has. After that, you can start making the main characters.

Today, I present to your attention a simple technique for making fingered characters from paper. This is a very simple method that any mother can help with which children will be happy to help.

For this we need:

thick white paper (cardboard)
scissors
colour pencils
glue
Finger heroes can be flat and round.

In any case, first you need to draw sketches of future theater characters on white paper. At this stage, very young children can be helped by adults. You can also use ready-made pictures from the Internet.

The elephant and the crocodile require special attention. On the strips drawn in the drawing, we make cuts, where we insert the trunk and fix it, bending the edges of the paper from the opposite side.
