We will look at what a paper panel manufacturing scheme looks like. But there are other variations. A cardboard tree can be covered with a special fabric so that objects with Velcro can be attached to it. This will make it easier for the child to remove the toys and return them. You can use regular fabric. Make small slits in it for some decorations on hooks.The baby will be able to pull them out, play with them, and hang the objects in place.
A paper panel is easier to make. Items are mainly laid out on a circle. Some plasticine figures or small toys can be leaned against the trunk. How to make a paper game–tree:
- To create a model of the tree, we will use old newspapers. It is enough to draw two identical sides of the tree.
- Cut out shapes from newspaper and attach them to cardboard. Carefully trace with a pencil and cut out the cardboard trees along the drawn lines.
- We conditionally divide each fragment in half with a vertical line, draw it from the beginning of the trunk to the top of the head.
- We cut one part along the line from the bottom to half, the other fragment - vice versa. We start cutting from the top, moving also to half.
- We connect the two blanks by inserting them into the slot. We get a tree divided into four parts.
- We make the base in the shape of a circle. It should be proportional to the tree. We fix the figure in the center of the circle. To make the layout durable, you need to apply glue vertically and horizontally along all the joints.
- We dilute the glue with a small amount of water. We glue napkins to all surfaces. The cut area should not be noticeable. For receiving the relief structure of the foliage on the tree, the trunk and the surface around it, we crumple the wet wipes a little during the gluing process.
- We leave the layout to dry for a couple of hours.
- Using paints, paint each quarter in the appropriate color. For autumn we choose yellow, orange, brown tones. Spring – a mixture of white and soft green; you can add snowdrops and tulips. Winter in cold shades of gray, blue, white. We make summer bright, yellow, green, blue.
