Here we are, and you, and me.

We are a family!

Smile to the one on the left.

Smile to the one on the right.

We are a family!

Students greet

2. Updating knowledge

Have a seat guys. What is this poem about? (About family). What do you understand by the word "family"? (This is the most precious thing a person has, this is a place where peace, love, friendship, care for each other reign. This is mom, dad, brother, sister and me.) Well done guys. Now think and tell me, where does the family live? (In home.)

You know, guys, today the postman brought a letter to our school. Let's see what's in it. (The teacher reads the letter) - “Hello guys, my name is Bunny-Know-it-all, I really like to guess riddles and therefore I have prepared them for you, if you solve it, then a surprise awaits you” Well, guys, let's try? (The teacher makes riddles)

Here's a big noisy world

It has four hundred apartments,

Five entrances, intercoms,

Glazed balconies.

(House)

There is a piercing whistle

Kettle early in the morning.

The refrigerator is here

Sink with faucet.

(Kitchen)

This room has a sofa

Soft like dandelion.

Dreams fly here at night

In the yellow rays of the moon.

(Bedroom)

There are no windows in it, only doors

Kitchen, bedroom, toilet.

Animals love to run around here -

Dog Barbos and cat Roulet.

(Corridor)

It's good when he is

Lie on it and sit on it.

He is given to us for rest,

Soft plush.

(Sofa)

He stands in the corner against the wall.

Oh he looks big

But he is not punished at all.

Mom keeps things in it.

(Closet)

He has four legs

Looks a bit like a horse

But it doesn't jump anywhere.

And plates, cups, spoons,

And great food

On his broad back

They settled in without difficulty.

(Table)

I stand on four legs

I can't walk at all.

When you get tired of walking

You can sit down and rest.

(Chair)

Answer questions, solve riddles

Displaying a letter from the Know-It-All Bunny

3. Repetition of the material covered

Well done guys solved all the riddles! (The Know-It-All Bunny appears)

And here I am, Bunny-Know-it-all, I came to play with you. Shall we build a house?

Hot time at the construction site

The signal has already broken

Today the bricklayer in the morning

Started work

Grows floor by floor

And every hour every day

Higher, higher new house!

Guys, before we get to work, we need to remember the safety precautions.

Tell TB

4. Learning new material

We already have a house (“we built it” in the previous lesson), let's start furnishing it with furniture. We have magic boxes. Let's sit down at the tables and think about what can be done from them? (bed, chair, table, wardrobe, chest of drawers). Well done guys, look, and this is exactly what you were talking about. (The teacher shows furniture made from matchboxes: a table, a chair, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bed, a sofa). Now we will make furniture from matchboxes. Before we get started, prepare your fingers.

PHYSMINUTKA

One, two, three, four (clap hands)

Who lives in my apartment? (shrugs)

One, two, three, four, five (clap hands)

Dad, mom, brother, sister, (bend one finger on both hands for each word)

My Puppy-Friend and I, (“I” point to themselves with both hands)

That's my whole family. (clench and unclench fists)

Well, now sit down and get to work. Choose a piece of furniture for example - a chair. We take a matchbox and a colored strip of paper, then apply glue to the colored strip and glue the matchbox with colored paper. One part of the chair is already ready. Guys, look carefully at the chair, how many matchboxes do you need? (4). That's right, 4. We do the same with the next three boxes. Now guys we need to glue them together. Gently apply glue to the side of the box and glue another box to it. Now our chair needs armrests, we carefully apply glue to the side parts of our workpiece and glue the 2 remaining boxes to it. Here is our chair.

Practical activities of children

5. Consolidation of the studied material

Guys, if you wish, you can make one more piece of furniture.

Independent work

Children look at how other furniture is made. If necessary, contact the teacher

6. Final. Reflection.

Know-It-All Bunny (soft toy). And here is another surprise for you from me (takes out a large carrot, inside of which is a small toy - Bear). Well, the guys have all made furniture, then I ask you to come up and furnish the house with your furniture. How well the work was done. What colorful furniture turned out.

I liked the job... (Children evaluate themselves.)

How beautiful it turned out, look how cozy it became in the house with your furniture. For your labors and efforts, I leave Mishutka to live in your house. It's winter outside, he needs to spend the winter somewhere, and you have such a warm house. Do you mind? (The bunny leaves the Bear on the couch, then says goodbye). Goodbye!

Children evaluate themselves.

The students say goodbye.

Parents who have already been able to make a dollhouse on their own or bought it in a store, while spending a significant amount, are thinking about how to make furniture for dolls with their own hands. Toy furniture is not cheap, so why not save the family budget. You can easily make it with your own hands from improvised means.

Types of materials that are often used

To equip your daughter's dollhouse, you may need the materials that we most often throw out:

cutting plywood sheets;
matchboxes:
plastic jars and boxes of cosmetics;
shoe boxes;
colored sponges for dishes;
viscose napkins;
plastic bottles;
egg tablets;
textile;
foil
wire and many other small things, the place of which we often determine in the trash can.

When choosing materials, everything will depend only on your imagination.

Plywood

Plywood and wood are the most popular and durable materials for making doll furniture. However, the process of creating interior items from them is laborious, you will need skills to work with them. But if you still make such furniture, it will serve the dolls for a very long time and will please your daughter for just as long.

In order to make miniature plywood furniture, you will need:

plywood sheets;
jigsaw;
sandpaper;
small cloves or self-tapping screws;
glue;
sheets of cardboard;
pencil;
ruler;
varnish or acrylic paint;
scissors;
the attributes that you will use to decorate each type of furniture: fabric, beads, pieces of leather, and much more...

Common for all types of furniture stages of work:

Draw on cardboard or use ready-made printouts of furniture details, cut them out.
Attach the resulting templates to plywood sheets and circle.
Cut out pieces of plywood with a jigsaw.
Treat all parts with sandpaper, the surfaces will become smooth.
We assemble the structure. We glue the parts or fasten them with self-tapping screws.
We cover the finished item with paint or varnish and let dry.
If necessary, we sheathe with textile elements and decorate.

So one piece of doll furniture was made.

Cardboard

Making cardboard dollhouse furniture is very easy. A child can also be involved in the manufacturing process. Cardboard is the most affordable material for work. You can use both sheets of cardboard, and take small cardboard boxes as a basis.

Necessary:

cardboard or cardboard boxes;
white sheets of paper;
pencil;
ruler;
scissors;
glue (if necessary);
jewelry details.

Stages of work:

We think over the details of the future piece of furniture and make templates on paper.

We make the necessary cuts in the joints of the parts.
Assembling a piece of furniture. We glue where necessary.
We give a finished look, decorating the design.

You can decorate the doll house with a new piece of furniture.

matchboxes

From matchboxes you can design almost any piece of furniture. The advantage of such furniture will be drawers. It is enough to show your imagination and think over the image of future furniture in detail.

We will need:

matchboxes, the quantity depends on what piece of furniture you will be making;
glue;
decorations for future furniture.

Stages of work:

We prepare the required number of matchboxes.
We glue them together in the sequence that is necessary for the interior detail.
We decorate the resulting piece of furniture. Acrylic paint and varnish are suitable for coloring.

Your daughter's dolls will be happy with the new thing.

You can make a rack for matchbox dolls yourself by watching the following video.

plastic jars

Plastic jars can perfectly play the role of furniture in your dollhouse. Sometimes, you don't even need to do anything with them. In finished form, they can be used, for example, as a bath. The child will be able to really bathe his dolls, the water will not spill out of them anywhere. You can construct more complex interior items from plastic jars, lids from toothpaste tubes, and other little things. They can simply be glued together in the required sequence.

A master class on making a toilet bowl for dolls from a shampoo container, see the following video.

Wire

From a wire that bends easily, you can decorate the interior in the Provence style. Beds, the frame of which will resemble a forged product, will look very elegant. It will be possible to supplement with a forged candlestick, an unusual forged chandelier. Almost any interior detail can be made using a wire frame. Your imagination will guide you in the right direction.

Egg tablets

Using egg tablets, you can perfectly equip the rooms of the dollhouse. Both plastic tablets and cardboard ones are useful in the work. All that will be needed is to carefully consider the composition and cut out the necessary parts of the tablets.

The job may require:

egg tablets;
scissors;
glue;
acrylic paint;
double sided tape;
helium pen refills

and much more. Everything will depend on how your imagination plays out.

Master classes

In this section, you are offered some ideas for creating furniture for dolls with your own hands.

Bed with drawers for matchbox dolls

We will need:

matchboxes;
glue;
pencil;
scissors;
a sheet of white cardboard;
sheets of white paper;
paints;
beads;
thin wire;
decorative elements according to your taste.

Step-by-step instruction:

Measure the height of the doll for which the bed is intended. The number of matchboxes that will be required depends on this.
We glue the required number of boxes with the side walls to each other. This will be the base of our bed.
If you want to make the bed taller, then you can glue peculiar legs in the form of additional boxes to the extreme boxes from below.
We glue the base of the bed with white paper so that the sliding elements remain open.
On cardboard, draw the desired shape of the headboard and cut it out.
Glue the backs to the sides of the base.
We paint the bed in the desired color.
We attach beads to the sliding elements of the boxes at the base with the help of wire. These are the handles of our bed.
We decorate, cover with bedding and you can put the doll to sleep.

In the next video you will see a master class on making a cardboard bed for a doll.

In the same style, you can arrange a bedside table.

We will need:

2-3 matchboxes;
glue;
White list;
the same paint and decor elements that decorated the bed;

Step-by-step instruction:

We glue the boxes together, placing them on top of each other with bases.
We paste over with white paper, leaving the sliding elements open.
We paint in the style of an already made bed.
We fasten the beads to the boxes.
We decorate.

See the next video for a master class on making a bedside table from matchboxes.

Sofa for plywood dolls

We will need:

plywood;
jigsaw;
glue or small cloves;
sandpaper;
cardboard;
pencil;
ruler;
varnish or acrylic paint;
pieces of fabric;
cotton wool

Step-by-step instruction:

We decide on the design and dimensions of the future sofa. We make drawings for the back, seat, side backs on cardboard. We take into account that with the help of the back and side backs the sofa will become stable.
Cut out.
We apply the resulting templates to a sheet of plywood and circle.
Using a jigsaw, we cut out the details of the sofa.
If you want to make upholstered furniture, then at this stage we wrap every detail of the sofa with a thin layer of cotton wool and sheathe it with a cloth. If the sofa is not sheathed, it is necessary to process the details with sandpaper.
We fasten the sofa parts to each other with glue. If you have a soft sofa, then you need to fix it with the help of small nails.
We cover parts that are not sheathed with fabric with varnish or paint.
We sew small pillows for the sofa.
Decorate to your liking and give to the use of the doll.

Chairs can be made the same way.

You can see how to make a sofa for a doll with your own hands in the next video - a master class.

Floor lamp

For manufacturing you will need:

thick cardboard;
glue;
pencil;
lace stripes;
empty core from a helium pen;
thin wire;
a small diameter lid (caps from jars of medicines, from ketchup are suitable)

We draw a cone blank on cardboard. Cut and glue it. Cut off the top of the cone. It turned out the base of the lampshade of the floor lamp. Wrap it with lace. We bend the wire in half and pass it through the rod. From above, we fasten the lampshade to the wire, from below to the lid - to give stability to the floor lamp. The lid can be decorated with a lace skirt. Instead of a rod, you can use beads as a stand by passing the wire through them. In this case, we also decorate the lampshade with beads.

Watch the following video for a master class on making a floor lamp.

Chandelier

To make a chandelier, we need a small container. You can use measuring cups for medicines, disposable plastic piles, the simplest candles in a metal case.

Very often the most interesting toys can be made using waste material. For example, we all use matches and we still have boxes. They can be perfectly used in children's creativity and create wonderful toys from them:

toy furniture, a chest of drawers, a locker, furniture for a dollhouse, chests with a mass of drawers, used to store beads, rubber bands, paper clips, you can make boxes for girls and much more for which you can make crafts from matchboxes with your own hands.

In this lesson, we will look at the great matchbox crafts paper furniture for dolls and dollhouse. We will create an interior design of the whole room for dolls.

Age of the child: from 3 to 8 years.

Master class do-it-yourself furniture for dolls

Paper furniture for dolls is very easy to create from clean cardboard boxes. Invite children to co-create!

Materials:

Matchboxes, any other cardboard boxes will also work
Cardboard on which there will be the whole structure and for the countertop
Gift wrapping paper or textured paper
paper cups
Scotch
Scissors
Pencil
Paints, volume contours
Cotton for filling cushions
Green feathers that we use instead of flowers
Green drinking straws
Sand

Subsequence:

Step 1. Living room

1. Pick up matchboxes to turn into the living room sofa and chairs in your dollhouse. Various and other boxes for creating furniture are also suitable. Matchboxes can be glued together in several pieces for the base of the purple chair and the same number for the base of the pink sofa.

Then connect the boxes for the back of the chair and the sofa so that the backs are narrower than the seat bases.

All boxes glued together should be wrapped in colored paper to give them color and a neat look. You can fasten the paper with transparent tape. The backs with the seat bases are connected with pva glue or any clerical glue.

We take thick cardboard in order to make our entire room on it.

Step 2 Carpet

Now take wrapping or textured paper, we will make a carpet out of it for the legs of the dolls that will rest in the living room. We cut out a large piece, but a little in size of our cardboard base and glue it. Glue a sofa and two chairs on top of each other.

Step 3. Coffee table and flowerpots

We take a small coffee cardboard cup and paint its outer side in a suitable and harmonious color of our room. Try to choose a beautiful shade of paint that would be interesting for the child.

We cut out a round tabletop from cardboard and connect it with a glass. It turns out a wonderful coffee table for the living room.

We paint two more cups in other colors - these will be our flowerpots for flowers. We paint, let the paint dry and fill them with sand.

Create the leaves by cutting a green paper shape sheet. We place the leaves in the sand in the first cup and the feathers in the second. We got two decorative flowerpots with flowers for decor and comfort in the dollhouse room. We can replace paper leaves with feathers.

Everyone knows that "matches are not toys." What about empty matchboxes? Especially a lot of them accumulate in those houses where gas stoves are installed - but do not throw away such valuable material for crafts! Today we are getting acquainted with beautiful and simple ideas: we make toys and decorations, wall decor and a trifle useful in the household.

Mini chest of drawers

From matchboxes, you can easily make 1001 options for elegant and convenient “mini chests of drawers” for storing various little things: jewelry, small toys, beads and ribbons for needlework, various circles / triangles / daisies for learning to count.

To do this, you need to assemble a structure from matchboxes (without boxes) on any glue and lightly press each other for the drying time. Then we insert the boxes and proceed to decorate our mini chest of drawers.

It can be pasted over with bright decorative paper or a beautiful fabric, decorated with applique, sequins or rhinestones. And, of course, do not forget to glue large beads as drawer handles.

Everything for the party

From matchboxes, you can make cute packaging for small "symbolic" gifts with your own hands. Decorating them with tissue or suede paper, ribbons, feathers, felt hearts, we get themed "wrappers" for Valentine's Day, New Year, Birthday, etc. Sweets, cookies and some nice little things can easily fit inside such mini-packages.

Funny postcards with a surprise will turn out if you arrange a small collage of key elements in a matchbox: a background, some character and his comment (wish, unexpected question). An excellent gift will turn out if in such a tiny box there is a key to some door, behind which a real big surprise is hidden.

Garlands with gifts can be saved for the winter holidays. In the West, for example, from the first of December it is customary to keep a “Christmas calendar”: every day children receive a small surprise, which in our case is packaged in a numbered matchbox suspended on a ribbon. This is how the festive atmosphere is created!

Matchbox toys

You can make real toys from matchboxes: glue the cardboard base, glue it with colored paper or paint it. Also, try using unwanted boxes as building blocks for a building block - or bricks for a dollhouse.

Matchboxes also make comfortable beds for small toys. And the boxes can be hung on threads and organize a puppet swing.

Unusual photo collage

We have a wedding theme in the photo, but this is just a sample. You can use children's and family photos, as well as just beautiful pictures or magazine clippings. We will need empty matchboxes (the author used as many as 64 pieces), plain white paper, white acrylic paint, artificial flowers made of fabric or paper (you can make them yourself!), braid and lace, beads (rhinestones, sequins or other trifles), Moment glue, scissors, stationery knife and ruler.

We glue 60 boxes without drawers together and transfer this design to a thick cardboard base. We use drawers to paste over the panels along the edges - you get something like a frame. Now, with the help of a clerical knife, we remove the walls between some matchboxes to get arbitrary "windows" of different sizes. To hide the joints between the matchboxes, we glue the resulting shape with white paper.

After the finished base dries properly, we decorate some “windows” with clippings and photographs. The walls and ends of the panels are carefully painted over with white acrylic. And now you can stick all kinds of decorations: fill the empty “windows” with various trifles, and place the flowers in two opposite corners of the collage diagonally.

Volumetric mini-paintings

The same idea - but not wholesale, but retail! Each separate picture-box will fit not only photographs, pictures and stickers, but also toys made of chocolate eggs. Such a bright and cheerful decor for a children's room - or a homemade gift for little friends. By and large, there is no need to explain the technology: just experiment with the child on scraps of different fabrics, kinder surprises and everything that is not a pity to put into the creative process.

Puzzles and cubes from matchboxes

For children 1, 5-2 years old, you can make puzzles: cut a large beautiful picture into several fragments, paste them on cardboard boxes - and let the child assemble the image piece by piece. For older children, you can no longer use pictures, but letters, words and phrases - from them the child can easily assemble sentences, well-known proverbs and sayings.

Toddlers will also appreciate the homemade game “Pick up an outfit”. Let's say on one matchbox we have an image of a character's head. On a series of other boxes - all kinds of sweaters, jackets, t-shirts, etc. On the third boxes - skirts and trousers. So the child will be able to choose any clothes for the toy: for example, by profession (doctor, cook, pilot ...), for going out (for a dinner party, to the store, to the stadium or to the gym ...), etc. If you add several others to this set characters, it will become even more interesting to play. It’s not difficult to make such a toy: we either paste matchboxes with white paper and draw everything ourselves with pencils and markers, or gut old magazines, choose suitable clothes and stick cutouts on the boxes.

Convenient needle bed

And from a matchbox you get a good needle case, from which not a single needle can disappear. And all thanks to magnetic paper, which can be found in needlework stores. So, everything is simple: a strip of magnetic paper of the appropriate size is placed on the bottom of the matchbox, and on top of the needle bar you can paste over and decorate with any materials to your liking. Simple and safe!
