Crafts on the theme "Circus"

Even if you live with a child in a megalopolis where there is a circus, go to shows every day - it's almost impossible, but to have a home toy arena with merry artists - easily! Color paper, scissors, markers, scotch tape or glue - that's all you need for making a craft on a circus with your own hands.

Before you make a circus from paper with your own hands, ask the kid who he would like to see in the mini-arena. Most likely, it will be a cheerful clown. To craft a clown of paper, you will need only one template, which can be drawn using a computer. The only condition is to observe proportions, and colors can be any. It is best to entrust coloring the template to the kid.

After the child has finished working with the template, cut it along the lines indicated in the figure. The outer rounded strip will serve as the legs, and the inner one will be used as handles. These parts need to be twisted in a spiral. If the paper is thick, then it is sufficient to hold the scissors on the back of the blade, gently but firmly pressing them. Thin paper can be wound for a few minutes on a pencil.

And from ordinary paper you can build an arena, which will perform acrobats, trainers, jugglers. Draw their figures, cut out the contour and set them on paper cross-shaped supports.

Not time, but I really want to play in the circus? The easiest way to raise yourself and your baby is to put on colorful hats. Make them simple: fold tight cardboard cone, and attach a fringe or bubble to the top. If there are active games, the strings will not interfere.

Give your curious child a bright mood! And do not forget to draw him to create a home mini-circus, where he will be the main artist.
