How to make a boat with a pipe out of paper. How to make a paper boat with your own hands: diagrams of a simple ship, steamer and sailboat

Paper boats are the main entertainment in autumn and spring, when the weather is not the most pleasant, puddles, a little cool. Only a cheerful multi-colored boat can fix the gray everyday life and decorate everything around. Many of us organized competitions, whose boat would sail further, then in a small puddle they created such a current that any clumsy steamer turned into a motor boat. And if your boat still floated along with the passengers, then this is just the aerobatics of shipbuilding.

To make a boat out of paper, you do not need to be an origami master, it's quite simple. You just need to carefully study the instructions and practice. But this is a very useful activity, the child develops his spatial thinking, attentiveness and perseverance.

We all know how to do it, but not everyone knows how to make a boat. In order to get good craft you need to put in a little effort. After all, when we assemble our boat corner to corner, the future result is not obvious. First, just a square, then a triangle, and so on, and then again, and pulling the corners, we get our boat.

Today we will look at a few simple circuits, according to which you can make your boat out of paper.

For a simple craft, we need 1 A4 sheet. Well, let's get started.

  1. The first thing to do (1.1) Bend the leaf in half, we should get a rectangle;
  2. Bend the top corners of the rectangle towards the center (1.2). Gently bend the coals, they should be in close contact with each other. You should get a triangle;
  3. Under the triangle, you have formed two free strips, they need to be bent up so that they frame the triangle (1.3);
  4. So you need to do on the one hand and on the other. Bend the protruding corners over the triangle (1.4);
  5. Now we have a hat. We need to take the corners of the triangle and connect them together to make a rhombus (1.5);
  6. Now the corners that we connected in the previous step, we need to bend up, so that we again get a triangle (1.6);
  7. Now we have a triangle (1.7);
  8. We are at the finish line, we need to sort of turn the boat around. Grab the bottom corners and pull them down (1.8);
  9. Our boat began to open, now we need to help it. Pull the top corners to straighten the boat (1.9);
  10. Done, now it remains only to straighten the craft and decorate it.

How to make a two-pipe boat?

To begin with, we need a square sheet of paper, you can take an A4 sheet and cut off the unnecessary part. Whatever, do not waste time calculating how to cut a square from a rectangular sheet of paper. Here is an easy way to get a square from a rectangle. You need to place an A4 sheet with the short side in front of you. Bend the upper left corner down to the edge of the sheet to form a triangle. An unnecessary rectangle has formed under the resulting figure, we just have to cut off the unnecessary part.

Now we can proceed to the folding of our boat.


  1. In order to determine where the center of the square is needed, fold our square in half, first on one side, then return it to its original state, and do the same with the other side (1).
  2. Now that we know where the center of the square is, we can bend each corner in turn towards the center (2). We should get a square again.
  3. Then we repeat the movement three more times (3,4,5), each new circle, turn the resulting figure, and bend the corners in the opposite direction.
  4. We are at the finish line, it remains for us to fold the resulting square in half to make a triangle. And pull the corners as in the previous diagram to open our boat.
  5. Now you need to make a two-pipe out of the resulting ship. We straighten the upper and lower corners, these will be pipes.
  6. All is ready!)

Even more schemes of paper boats



The paper boat is wonderful craft! It develops fine motor skills (if you carelessly fold crafts, the boat will not work), it trains spatial thinking remarkably, and besides, you can go outside and play with the resulting boat! Alone, with friends, with parents. Organize a sea expedition or speed race. Ships can be made from colored paper, painted and painted, and a crew of small toys can be chosen for them. In bad weather, you can launch boats in the bathroom, and in the country - in the basin ... In a word, practice on these schemes, and you will not regret it!

But such a boat, on the contrary, for some reason is not popular with Russian kids.
