How to please your little son
Young children are very fond of toys. Sometimes they do not have enough of those who constantly surround them, so they always ask to buy them something new. Of course, such purchases are additional expenses from the family budget, which can be easily avoided. To do this, every mother should know how to make a car out of paper if her son suddenly gets bored with the available toys. This simple skill will save a lot and bring joy to the child. Read about the manufacturing technique below.
Required hand tools
To create this simple origami craft, you will need a standard set: a square sheet of paper, as well as patience and care. If you don’t have a leaflet of just this shape, then you can use a regular rectangular one. Let's turn it into a paper square. To do this, bend any corner to the opposite side so that a diagonal fold remains on the sheet, and then cut off the unnecessary part with scissors.
Step by step creation of a toy
So, let's learn how to make a car out of paper. To begin with, we bend the prepared square sheet in half vertically and horizontally. After that, we return it to its original state and bend one side to the middle. Then we bend the corners of that part of the sheet over which the previous action was carried out to the lower border of the paper. Cover the bottom half with the top half. The next step is to bend the upper part to its previous position, but so that the fold line is below the middle of the sheet. We select any of the upper corners and lower it down so that the action is performed in relation to the central line of the figure. After that, turn the resulting product over to the other side and bend some corners to give round shape wheels, body, bumper. It was a practical guide to how to make a car out of paper.
Variety of materials
As you know, the stronger is what the craft is made of, the longer it will not have mechanical damage. That is why a toy for a beloved son can be made not only from thin paper, but also, for example, from cardboard. How to make a car out of cardboard? - you ask. Similar. The technology will not be any different, so you can choose any sufficiently durable material at your discretion.
Learning Together
The beauty of such needlework classes is that you can teach your child to make a real work of art from an ordinary sheet. If your son asks for a new toy car, offer to build one together. It will not take much time, and the common cause will bring you even closer. In addition, you will teach your child some origami techniques and show in practice how to make a paper car.
Now we are able
So, you already know how to make a car out of paper. And this is not a useless skill, because you can transfer knowledge to your child, give him some origami lessons that will help develop his mindfulness and fine motor skills. So delight your baby with amazing products and have fun with a common activity!
Paper car is one of the most popular origami. In the Soviet past, many boys at school memorized the scheme for assembling cars from a sheet (most often a school notebook). But over time, the schemes themselves were forgotten, and the current generation has other fun and entertainment. Somehow, at our leisure, we tried to remember and do a few things together with our son. paper machines. We needed a pair of hands and a sheet of A4 paper. This craft can be successfully used for breathing exercises, and if the child is actively involved in the process of assembling a paper car, then this will also be a good exercise for him to develop his fingers. So let's get started. Take a sheet of A4 paper.
A sheet of A4 paper from which we will make our typewriter.
On the one hand, we bend at an angle of forty-five degrees, and unbend back. And we also do it in the other direction, also unbending it back.
As a result, we will get such bends on paper, which we will really need in the future.
We do the same actions on the other side of the sheet of paper. Having made the same two bends.
After, taking one of the sides (it doesn’t matter which one), holding the edges of the sheet in the middle between the folds, we bring these two parts to the center as shown in the picture above.
We do the same action with the other side of the paper sheet. As a result, we got something resembling arrows in different directions.
And lower the edges of the "arrows"! You should get exactly as in the photo.
And now, having selected one of the sides of our workpiece, we will make the front part of our paper machines. To do this, we will bend one part of the arrow inward, following the example of a photograph.
And also bend the second part of the arrow.
We bend the resulting blank approximately in half, as shown in the photo.
And it remains to make the final touches. Bend the ends of the arrows so that we get fenders for our paper car and by bending the back we make a paper car spoiler. And we got a racing car.
At the end, taking felt-tip pens or pencils, the child has complete freedom of imagination how to decorate the typewriter.
This machine can be used in breathing exercises. Blow on the machine so that it moves, rides. Perform breathing exercises under the supervision of an adult, so as not to cause dizziness in a child!
Using the origami technique, it is enough to simply fold a car craft out of paper. It could be a fire truck, a racing car or a passenger car. A fire engine in full can be assembled only from origami modules, but you can also paint a passenger car with the colors of a fire engine. An origami racing car folds up quite simply, but more difficult than a passenger car. How to fold these machines is described in this article.
In order to make such a craft yourself, use the master classes with the attached photo and video materials.

Mastering the art of modular origami is quite difficult. In addition to perseverance to fold great amount modules, you also need a lot of patience to make a model, since all the elements are attached without glue and, if folded inaccurately, from one awkward movement, the hands can simply fall apart.
Inside the fire truck is hollow, we assemble the walls.
Unfortunately, there are no diagrams. But there is a large number of photos of the machine.
As described above, a passenger origami car is folded using white or red paper, and then a fire escape and windows are glued or drawn. So do fire engine will be simpler.

Required Tools
In order to fold the cars you will need:
- a square sheet of colored paper;
- scissors.
Instruction - Option 1
Let's take a closer look at how to make a typewriter out of paper:
- Fold a square sheet of paper into four parts, outlining the auxiliary lines, and unfold back.
- Bend the bottom of the sheet in half again. Then bend the corners down, creating the wheels of the future machine.
- Bend the top of the sheet along the middle line towards you.
- Now bend the workpiece as shown in the figure.
- Bend diagonally one of the corners of the upper part of the sheet, connecting the red dots indicated in the figure.
- Turn the piece over. A simple car model is ready! (photo_6)
- Instruction - Option 2
- Now let's look at how to make a three-dimensional paper machine using the origami technique.
- To get started, choose a sheet of paper in your favorite color, fold it in half and unfold it back.
- Now we visually divide each of the formed halves of the sheet into three equal parts and bend one third from the top and one third from the bottom to the inside of the workpiece.
- Bend the corners on four sides, as shown in the figure.
- Fold in the small corners of the tops of the triangles to give a more rounded shape to the wheels of our paper car craft.
- Bend the workpiece in half and lay it in front of you, placing the wheels down.
- Bend one of the corners of the workpiece inward, along the dotted line shown in the figure.
- Slightly cut the second corner and also bend inward. Thus, we got the windshield and hood of our car model.
- The paper machine is ready! It remains only to draw glass, doors, headlights and other details on it as desired.

Necessary materials
In order to make a voluminous typewriter out of paper, you will need:
- Printer;
- a sheet of office paper;
- scissors;
- cardboard;
- glue;
- colored pencils, markers or paints.
Instruction
Consider step by step how to fold a typewriter out of paper:
Schemes of paper cars are also colored. In this case, you do not need to color anything. And to get a realistic miniature car model, you just need to print the scheme in good resolution on a color printer and fold it according to the instructions. But if the scheme of your typewriter is black and white or there is no color printer at hand, then the model can be painted with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. Here you can let your imagination run wild and add an interesting pattern or make a car in an unusual color.
Making toys and fakes from paper develops the child's imagination and motor skills. In our article we will tell you how to make a typewriter out of paper. What kid doesn't dream of something like this? With your help, the kid will understand the instructions and then he will enthusiastically make a typewriter.
So let's get started!
The simplest
If you have just begun to be interested in making all kinds of paper things, then this method is just for you - it is extremely simple and understandable. Take an A4 sheet and cut a square out of it. Bend the workpiece in half in different directions to get lines for further folds. Unfold the mold and fold the bottom edge up towards the center. Bend the corners down - these will be the wheels for the car. Once you've done that, fold the piece of paper in half along the center line, and fold the bottom up as well. Bend the corner that is at the top forward. You managed to make a typewriter out of paper.
The resulting toy can be decorated with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. For manufacturing, you can use colored paper.
Making a racing car
The instructions given in this paragraph will help you make a racing car out of paper. Any piece of paper, landscape sheet, sheet from a school notebook is suitable for a typewriter. You need to fold the sheet in two layers, and then fold the corners on all sides and follow the instructions below.
Such a machine can be painted or decorated.
Colored paper car
In order to make a fake you will need:
- scissors
- colored paper
- pencils
- markers
First, cut out a square blank. If the sheet is rectangular, cut off unnecessary parts. It is best to take double-sided colored paper, unlike plain paper, it does not need to be painted.
We bend the square in half twice - you will get lines for bending.
Fold the folded strips in half again and bend the corners. The shape of the machine begins to take shape.
We divide the upper part into three and begin to bend them.
Now we need to make the trunk and wheels of our cars. For the wheels, we fold the corners of the sheets inwards, which can be trimmed to be parallel to the body. Now our car is running. To form the hood, we bend the front inward. To make a spoiler, you can bend the corners at the back.
Our machine is ready. We begin to decorate or decorate it if you used non-colored paper. You can draw doors, windows and headlights - this way the car will turn out to be more believable.
origami car
Unlike the previous version, in origami we will not use glue or scissors. All you need is an A4 paper. Fold the sheet lengthwise and carefully run your fingers along the fold line. We begin to bend the corners as we do for paper planes. Again we draw all the fold lines and unbend the entire workpiece. Now you need to make an envelope - for this we bend the form into ourselves. We have a triangular shape. We turn the left triangle outward, up, and begin to bend the inner parts of the workpiece. At the same time, they need to be bent a little at the ends. Such actions must be performed very carefully, monitor the edges and, if necessary, align them. If you followed all the instructions correctly, you will get a workpiece in the form of an arrow that has two ends. At this stage, we choose which side our hood will be on. For the hood, we bend the triangular corners inward, towards the center, and then unfold them. Now we need to fasten the front and back of the car. We will simply bend the part and fix it under the car fender. This action will allow us to do without glue. So we got our car! Now you can start decorating and coloring it. It would be a great idea to paint a race number or the name of the car on the hood. On the instructions below, you can see all the stages of creation.
So you've learned how to create simple models paper machines. There are more complex and detailed models - they can be found on the Internet. Despite this, if you are just a beginner in this business, then ours will do. Over time you can learn to do modular origami- in it, a fake consists of many separate parts-modules. You can even find whole car templates on the net that you just need to cut and glue. Good luck in your work! We hope everything works out for you!
