Flat finger theater from Teremok paper, from our point of view, is not very suitable for children under 5 years old. But 5-6 year old children will be happy to play with it. The principle of movement of the dolls is very simple - the index and middle fingers are inserted into the slits. These are the “legs” of the doll. Now she can “walk.” Of course, children of this age know the fairy tale “Teremok” by heart. But here we will be “playing theater.” And almost all the guys want to be an artist. But, although the fairy tale is familiar, such games will develop children’s speech - after all, you need to speak for each character in a certain voice, try to convey his character. The bunny speaks timidly, the fox speaks slyly, the mouse squeaks, and the bear growls menacingly. Conveying all these shades with a voice is an interesting and difficult task for younger preschoolers. In addition, children can actively participate in creating puppets and decorations for the Teremok paper finger theater.
Flat finger theater made of paper “Teremok”
In order to make puppets for our finger paper theater you need to print (or draw) the heroes of the Teremok fairy tale on plain paper. The height of the dolls should be approximately 9-10 cm, and the width at the bottom of the figure should be less than 4.5 cm - so that holes for the fingers can be freely cut.
Puppet templates for flat finger theater made from Teremok paper
Glue the template onto very thick paper or thin cardboard. Let it rest under a load (2-3 thick books) for 10-15 minutes. We color the animals with colored pencils of suitable colors.
We cut out the figure and cut holes for the fingers.
If you wish, you can paint the back of the doll. Keep in mind that it will be more difficult for your child to color an already cut out figure. The doll is ready.
You can print colored figures right away or use the appliqué technique (as in the photo below).
Decorations for the paper finger theater “Teremok”
To play out a fairy tale with such dolls, we need a decoration - a house-teremok. It's not difficult to make.
Step 1
Take a sheet of brown (not glossy!) cardboard. Draw it as shown in the diagram.
Step 2
Cut out the windows.
Step 3
Cut strips of red paper 1 cm wide for the windows and 2-3 cm wide for the roof. Decorate the windows and roof slope with stripes. You can make a carved edge on the strips.
Step 4
Cut out circles of logs with a diameter of about 2 cm from yellow paper. Glue them onto the tower.
Step 5
Cut out grass from green paper and glue it to the bottom.
Step 6
Draw in the details with a felt-tip pen and trim off the excess cardboard above the roof.
Step 7
Fold another sheet of cardboard into an accordion. The first link of the accordion is 2 cm, the second and third are 5 cm. Fold the remaining piece of cardboard in half again (that is, the fourth and fifth links will be about 3-4 cm each)
We glue the narrowest part of the “accordion” to the tower from below.
To make the tower stable, glue the side parts of the second link of the “accordion” to the tower. A kind of pocket is formed into which we will “populate” the animals.
The photo shows what our mansion will look like from behind.
The tower is ready, the performance can begin.
The finger theater “Teremok” can be made in other ways, for example. Or . These models do not require any decorations. In addition, you can play with them with very young children 2-3 years old.

What is finger theater?
Finger theater is a set of character figures that are put on a separate finger. It could just be individual dolls, animals, some objects for staging a fairy tale, or everything famous characters our favorite Russians folk tales. When playing, it is important to work with different fingers, pairs of fingers, one and two hands, several fingers at the same time. All this helps with the development of coordination of movements and the brain.
1. Finger theater is a unique opportunity to place a fairy tale on the palm of a child, in which he can play the role of any hero.
2. Theater is also an excellent speech and sensory-motor simulator. Dolls develop the mobility of the fingers of both hands, help master the speech of characters, help develop vocabulary and activate speech functions.
3. The game can be used to get acquainted and learn counting

This is the kind of theater we have.
Now I want to introduce you to making a finger puppet using the origami technique.
First we make the body of our doll

The importance of small toys for little ones fingers are hard to overestimate. Such toys have many valuable qualities that cannot be found in any newfangled children's toy.
Games with finger puppet theater They develop a child’s curiosity, imagination, communication skills, promote the development of speech, memory, attention, perseverance, and broaden their horizons. In addition, the child can come up with stories himself. By using finger theater You can conduct educational conversations, and, of course, develop fine motor skills and prepare your hand for writing.
In addition, playing this theater The little ones, older children, and even parents can do it.
I suggest you make the simplest look together with your children. finger theater - made of paper. TO making a finger puppet theater from paper You can also involve the child himself. This process can be quite exciting for him. A younger child will be able to draw a face, and an older child will be able to complete the entire process independently, under the guidance of an adult.
For this we need:
White and/or colored paper;
Scissors;
PVA glue;
Ruler;
Simple and colored pencils, felt-tip pens.
To begin with, you need to paper draw squares.
My 6-year-old children and I made a square of 6 * 6 cm and 8 * 8 cm.
Then we boldly cut them out.
After this, we make cups using the origami technique according to the diagram (see photo)
Now the process becomes creative. You can draw faces and muzzles of various fairy tale or cartoon characters on the cups, or print them out "faces" the desired characters on the printer, cut them out and glue them onto cups with "facial" sides.
