Master class: Soft toy "Rabbit Vuk"

This master class is designed for parents who have children from 3 to 6 years old.

Purpose of the master class: independent production of toys by parents for their beloved children.

The purpose of this master class: to interest and encourage parents to make toys for their children from any materials that are unnecessary for the home. Awaken their imagination. Toys made by parents become the most expensive for children.

1. We cut out two bases of a round shape with a diameter of 18 cm from a thick cardboard with a cut out inner contour with a diameter of 5 cm. Then we put them together.

2. We evenly wind the threads around the entire diameter of the base from the inner to the outer contour in several layers.

3. Cut the threads with scissors between the warp rings along the outer contours. At the same time, we tightly hold the threads at the inner contour.

4. We skip the thread between the bases and tightly tie the middle of the future pompom.

5. Remove the cardboard base. Straighten and fluff the pompom. Cut off the protruding threads on the pompom. It turned out the body of a rabbit.

6. In the same way, we make the second pompom, but a little smaller (bases with a diameter of 12 cm with a cut out inner contour with a diameter of 4 cm). This will be the head.

7. Sew one pompom to another with a needle and thread.

8. From thin foam (which is used to store shoes), we cut out ears 14 cm long and sew them to the head.

The most important thing when organizing a child's leisure time is to pay great attention to the development of fine motor skills, since it is directly related to the development of speech. The older the child becomes, the wider the volume of crafts that he can do on his own. As an improvised means, you can use various materials.

Soft toys are loved by everyone: both kids and adults. Bears, bunnies, cats and other animals take pride of place on the shelves in the closet. Many mother needlewomen knit soft toys on their own. But not everyone knows that such things can be made from yarn in a completely different way. Do you want to know? Then, dear craftswomen, this article is especially for you. We will introduce you to such a direction in needlework as making toys from

Surely every knitter in the bins has small balls with the remnants of yarn. You can’t knit a large product from them, but it’s a pity to throw it away. These are the "wealths" that are useful for performing soft crafts. So, we invite you to joint creativity. Learn how to make pom-pom toys, admire photos of finished products and get inspired.

Preparation of materials and tools

To make toys, you first need to make pompoms. A description of this process will be presented later, but now we will talk about what is needed for work. So, you will need:

• yarn;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• compass;
• scissors;
• pencil.

Making toys from pom-poms

With your own hands, you first need to make a fluffy ball of yarn. It is this detail that is the basis for this type of toy. The first thing you need is to execute the template. Draw a circle on the cardboard with a compass. Its diameter will be equal to the size of the pompom. Inside the large circle, outline the same small figure (about 2-3 centimeters in diameter). Fold the cardboard in half and cut out two identical blanks. Make a cut on one side of each piece. The photo above shows what the template should look like.

The next step is winding the threads. Lay the circles one on top of the other and wind the yarn around them tightly and evenly over the entire surface of the pattern. It should be noted that the ball that you take for work should not be large, otherwise it will not fit through the inner hole of the template. Consider this moment: the thicker the layer of threads you wind, the more magnificent and beautiful the ball will turn out. To make a toy from pompons with your own hands, these are exactly the details you need.

Next, carefully cut the threads with scissors in a circle along the outer edge of the product. Place a piece of yarn between the cardboard circles, tighten it and secure the knot. It should turn out so that the entire bunch of threads from which the main part of the pom-pom is made is tied exactly in the middle. Now remove the pattern, and straighten the soft ball itself. That's all. One pom-pom is ready!

Other ways to make balls of yarn

Some do-it-yourself pom-pom toys are created by craftswomen from small round parts. Most often, such elements serve as paws, ears, noses of animals. How to make a small ball? It is almost impossible to make it on a cardboard template. The needlewomen came up with a different elementary method. Take an ordinary fork and wind the yarn around the teeth in a tight ring. Then insert the scissors under the layer of thread and cut them in one place. Tie the bundle in the middle in the same way as described above. Straighten the little pom-pom.

For those who do not want to bother with making patterns every time, we recommend that you purchase a special device for making pom-poms in a needlework store. It consists of four plastic molds. Clamps allow you to adjust the device to perform different diameters.

Pompom soft toys. Chicken making master class

So, you have learned how to make the basic details. How to make figures of your favorite fairy-tale or cartoon characters from them? Let's tell now! Consider the whole process using the example of making a chicken - a fun pom-pom toy.

Instruction

From yellow yarn, make two balls of different sizes. Sew these pieces together. On a small pom-pom that serves as the head of the toy, attach two dark beads. These will be the chicken's eyes. Cut out two triangular pieces from orange or red felt to form a beak. On a pompom that is larger in size (serves as a body), sew wings made of felt or feather. Now make the paws.

Cut an oval out of cardboard, cover it with orange felt (or any other fabric). Attach the chicken to this stand. So the made toy will be stable. The soft figure can be supplemented with decorative elements: a hat, a bow, a bow tie.

A caterpillar made of colored such a soft toy?

From yarn of different colors, make six balls of the same size and one slightly larger than all the others. This large pom-pom will serve as the head of the caterpillar. Tie the pieces together using the ends of the threads that were tied around the bundles during the formation of the balls. If you cut them off, no problem. Pompoms can be sewn together. Make eyes out of buttons or beads. Next, do the paws. To do this, weave braids from threads or crochet chains of air loops about 8-10 centimeters in size. For each ball, two such blanks are required. Fold them in half and sew to the bottom of the pom-poms. You can put a bead on each foot.

This caterpillar will definitely please the baby. It will perform not only a gaming function, but also a developing one. Why? While manipulating such an object, the baby learns to distinguish colors, develops hands.

Toys are always fun and positive, and when they are fluffy, soft and so funny, especially! Many women are engaged in needlework, so working with yarn for them will be a pleasant and familiar experience. And even children of primary school age can be taught to make toys from pompoms with their own hands.

Master class on making pom-poms

We will need:

• thin but thick cardboard;
• yarn;
• compass;
• scissors;
• "gypsy" needle.

Work order

• Decide what diameter D the ball should be. Now you need to make a drawing. We are doing a master class on calculating diameters. Draw a circle with a diameter of about 3 cm. We will push small balls into this hole. Add 3 cm and the diameter of the ball and divide in half (3 + D) / 2 = R - the radius of the large circle. Cut out two rings and cut them in one place.

• Fold the rings so that the slots do not line up.

• Measure 2 m of thread, insert into the needle and start winding around the rings. You can do it differently: roll up several small balls and wind the thread from them onto the rings.

• You still have to finish with a needle. We wind the required number of layers.

• Carefully cut the yarn along the edge of the template with fine scissors.

• The next task for children can be difficult. Help them, move the cardboard rings a little apart and hold them like that until the child threads a strong thread between them and ties them into two knots.

• Take out the cardboard rings.

• The master class is over - the first pompom is ready. Now you can make various toys for children out of them.

white snowman

He is so snowy and cold that he even froze himself and stands with a red nose, wrapped in a warm scarf. Let's start the master class with the preparation of tools and materials.

We will need:

• white yarn;
• hook;
• wooden skewer;
• thimble;
• beads for the eyes;
• PVA glue;
• plasticine;
• cork from a plastic bottle.

Snowman sculpting master class

• Cut out cardboard discs with three different outer diameters and the same inner diameters. With their help, we will make three pompoms of different sizes. But first you need to make a foundation. Burn a hole in the plastic cork with an awl, insert the tip of a wooden skewer into it and close the inside of the cork with plasticine.

• Place the pom poms on the axle, starting with the largest. Try not to make it too tight so that the snowman looks slender.

• Crochet two white caps, pull them together and sew both to the middle pompom. It is necessary to make stitches through the middle of the pompom, sewing on two paws at the same time.

• Attach the thimble to the crown using the end of the skewer. Glue or sew on beads for the eyes and nose. We will not give a master class on knitting a scarf here, just try to make a strip of 6 loops with a 1x1 elastic band.

Three pigs

To make toys for children from pompoms, you must first imagine what you want and choose the right yarn color. So, to complete the “three little pigs” master class, you will need a ball of pink threads and three pink buttons. Ears and hooves can be made from small pieces of pink felt. Sew the buttons on a long thread, and then glue them and the eyes of the piglets. Finish the master class by gluing a different bow to each pig.

Smeshariki

A funny story in pictures, written for children, about funny Smeshariki became the reason for the appearance of these cute toys on store shelves. A master class on their manufacture will save a lot of money to the family budget.

• Choose the color of yarn you want and make a pom pom.
• Cut out eyes from paper and ears from felt.
• Noses are best made from contrasting threads.

No scheme is needed for their manufacture, only imagination and a desire to please children.

chickens

Making chickens is as easy as making Smeshariki. You need to make two pompoms, slightly different in volume. Tie them together. The one that is smaller will become the head. It must be decorated with a red paper beak and two black eyes. Glue two paws cut from the same paper to the body below.

Master class "Snake"

To make a wise snake, we do not need diagrams. Just knit seven small identical pompoms, winding rows of different colors each time. They should be done as evenly as possible, then our Kaa will become motley-striped. We knit the eighth large pompom from plain yarn - this will be the head.

Take a long fishing line, thread it through a bead, and insert both ends into a needle with a wide eye. Now you have a bead instead of a knot at the end of the fishing line. Pass the line through all the pompoms, starting from the tail. The last should be the biggest

Do not make too close contact of the pompoms. Attach the string to your head. Glue the eyes and a long forked tongue out of paper or felt. Fluffy kind and wise boa constrictor is ready.

What brings a lot of joy to the baby? Of course, a new toy. But it happens that the family budget does not allow right now to lay out a tidy sum for a stamped character. At this moment, parents will be rescued by the Internet and a few hours of free time. Get ready: the Fun Learning website will delight you with DIY pom-pom crafts.
