Games for the development of fine motor skills with their own hands. Games for the development of fine motor skills
Let's at least use paper to bring the beginning of spring closer and make an origami snowdrop. Here are 3 options from the simplest to the slightly complex.
The works used:
- Double-sided green colored paper;
- White paper;
- Scissors, glue stick.
Origami snowdrop for kids: the easiest option
We make a flower
Prepare white paper in a square shape.
Fold it in half, corner to corner.
This step is not shown in the photo, but children can fold the paper again to determine the middle of the triangle. You can skip the step and immediately lift the right and left corners up, placing them as symmetrically as possible with respect to the upper corner. The flower is ready. Optionally, you can cut out two green triangles or a quarter of a circle and glue it (them) to the base of the flower.
Making an Origami Snowdrop Stem and Leaf
Very young children can simply cut out an oblong sheet, older children can make a sheet.
Prepare a green square piece of paper.
Connect the opposite corners, turning the square into a triangle. This will create a fold in the middle.
Open the paper back to a square shape, and fold the sides to align with the fold.
Align the bottom sides in the same way.
Repeat the steps again, although now it will be a little more difficult to do this. Fold over the top sides, aligning with the midline. Right.
Then left.
Now make folds at the bottom. Right.
The origami sheet is ready. If desired, the folds can be glued so that they do not open in the future, especially if the children did not have enough strength to press them well.
The stem is made from a long strip folded into a thin tube.
Glue all the components together, and you get such an origami snowdrop.
You can twist the ends of the stem so that the flowers "look" down.
Origami Snowdrops: Making it Harder
Despite the loud statement, this method of creating a flower is also very easy, just a little more than the previous one.
The stem will be the same as the leaf.
Prepare a rectangular piece of paper.
Fold it in half lengthwise to mark the middle.
Return to original state.
Bend the corners, aligning with the fold in the center.
Then center the sides in the same place, guiding their outer edges towards the middle. Right.
Left. The flower is almost ready.
Cut a quarter of the circle and glue it onto the sharp base of the flower.
Glue the flower to the stem, do not forget the sheet, which, by the way, can simply be cut out of paper.
Origami snowdrop with intricate flower
In the third version, the flower is much more complicated than the previous ones. And the most difficult thing is at the end, since you need to understand the principle of folding the sides, which can be quite difficult for children.
For this flower you will need a square white piece of paper.
Fold it in half, from corner to opposite corner.
You can fold it again to determine the middle of the triangle.
Bend the corners, aligning them with the fold in the center. This action and the subsequent ones are needed to create the necessary folds.
Open the paper, then bend the side corners again, aligning them with the extreme side folds.
Open the paper again, you should have such folds as shown in the photo. Two at the edges and one in the center.
Now bend the corners, aligning them with the new extreme fold. Thus, we added one more, third fold on the sides of the paper.
Fold the right corner to the third fold, the second will be in the center.
Now on the left. Looks like petals.
Here important points, and difficult for children. Connect the created petals at the front, pushing back the front fold in the process.
Now redirect the folds on the sides inward.
Press, the flower is ready.
This is what it looks like from behind.
And in winter, and in autumn, and just when you are sad, you want spring to wake up in your house and in your soul. Make it very easy! It is enough to make paper snowdrops with your own hands.

DIY paper snowdrops: master class (photo attached)
As in any other method, you first need to prepare all the materials. If you are going to make a lot of flowers, it is better to cut out templates from cardboard in the form of a figurine with three petals: one bigger size for the snowdrop itself, and the second for the sepals. By the way, initially you can cut a round flower with nine petals from a square blank, which is then cut into three elements. One of them is circled on cardboard as a stencil, according to which all other parts are already made in the right quantity. Once the templates are created, get to work. The sequence will be like this:
Your interior decoration is ready.
Use corrugated paper
This type of material gives more realism to the composition. So, you will make very gentle, almost like real, paper snowdrops with your own hands. For beginners, the first method from the previous section, and this one, are also suitable. Use any combination of materials and technologies. If it is easier for you to follow the method below, but you do not have special paper, you can do it in the same way from the usual one.
The sequence of work will be as follows:
This decoration is suitable for both interior and decoration. gift box, a package or, for example, a box.
DIY paper snowdrops for children: a master class
If you are going to make such a craft with a child, for example, by March 8, then it is better to choose a simpler method. The application is perfect.
It is easy to decorate a postcard or the surface of a gift box.
Such decoration is performed as follows:
- The easiest way is to cut out the blanks of flowers of the desired shape from paper at a time, using one form, but you can also make individual petals that are glued together.
- Prepare thin strips of green paper for the stem or wire (already the desired shade) or use colored tape.
- Cut out the leaves.
- Stick all the details on a flat base (postcard, box).
- Decorate with additional decor (sequins, beads, bows).
Folding flowers for a bouquet or appliqué
The children will also be interested in making voluminous paper snowdrops with their own hands. Origami will allow you to make such a souvenir, and the kids will get to work with pleasure.
To do this, it is enough to fold the shape of a flower according to the scheme from a white sheet and attach to it a wire wrapped in a strip of green corrugated paper. From the same material, cut out the leaves and glue to the stem.
Postcard in quilling technique
In this way, you can make any flowers, including snowdrops, out of paper (with your own hands!). The application of twisted details turns out to be openwork, like lace, and very effective, although everything is done quite simply. You will need strips (about five millimeters thick) of white and green paper.
An ordinary office one will do, but it’s even better to buy a designer one, for example, a metallized one. Flower details are twisted using a special tool or a regular knitting needle, skewer or toothpick. Make the required number of blanks of the required shape, connect them with glue into a single composition. Elements are glued both on a plane and in the form of a relief with volume. Many create 3D floral arrangements.
So you've seen how different ways make paper snowdrops with your own hands. Master class and useful advice help you make such a souvenir or gift decor yourself or entertain children.
So, to make paper snowdrops we need:
- corrugated paper white color to create petals;
- green corrugated paper for creating petals and processing the stem;
- wire;
- thermal gun with a core of glue;
- scissors.
Paper snowdrops: Step 1
Let's start by creating the snowdrop stem. Let's prepare a piece of wire, the length of which is approximately 10 cm. We also cut off a strip of green corrugated paper.
We stretch the tip of the corrugated strip until the folds disappear.
The stem is ready, let's move on to creating a bud!
Paper snowdrops: Step 2
Cut off a strip of green color 7-10 cm long.
On one side of the strip we form folds by stretching the paper.
Then we fold the workpiece with an accordion, apply glue on top and attach the tip of the wire.
Paper snowdrops: Step 3
We give them volumetric form, pulling out their middle.
Paper snowdrops: Step 4
We begin to glue the white petals to the base. We place the details just above the inner petals.
Paper snowdrops: Step 5
With the help of a green piece of corrugated paper, we wrap the receptacle of the flower.
Paper snowdrops: Step 6
After we cut out a miniature leaf, which should be at the top of the stem, next to the receptacle. When we glue the top leaf, we bend the pedicel.
We give the stem a realistic shape of the bend.
Paper snowdrops: Step 7
The main leaves, which should be in the lower part of the stem, are also cut out of green corrugated paper. The shape of the leaves is quite ordinary without curls and teeth.
Before connecting the leaves to the stem, stretch their middle a little, roll the tips with your fingers.
That's all, a wonderful early flower is ready!
If you make more snowdrop branches, you can make a beautiful bunch of them. You can place it in a small wicker basket or in a bag of sisal in a neutral shade. They can also be used as interior decor. For this, paper snowdrops do not need to be packed or placed in a basket. You can simply place them in a miniature transparent vase. For a more decorative and finished look, sprinkle small colored pebbles or beads into the vase.
