This is not only a toy, but also an educational set that will allow kids to spend their time profitably.

There are many types of theater productions. Some performances use special toys that are placed on the finger. Other characters are controlled using sticks or joints. The child himself can make dolls for the puppet theater with his own hands to prepare his own performance. If your mother or grandmother loves knitting, they can knit new characters regularly. To do this you will need a hook or knitting needles, yarn and an original idea.

Making puppets for a puppet theater is a creative, exciting process.Therefore, here you can give free rein to your imagination. For example, use available tools to create characters or create a unique hero that does not exist in reality.

To make toys for a puppet theater with your own hands, you should prepare in advance:

• Felt – 2 pieces of material the size of a landscape sheet;
• Thin cardboard – 1 sheet;
• Glue gun;
• Needle and thread;
• A few small multi-colored felt scraps.

You will have to make a sketch of a doll for the theater with your own hands on paper. The idea can be taken from the Internet or made up. Making a toy step by step:

1. Pattern. Transfer and cut out the drawing. The pattern should consist of the main part and small elements - ears, eyes, muzzles, etc.
2. Transfer to fabric. Place all the parts one by one on felt of the corresponding color, trace along the outline, then cut out. The number and color of parts depends on the type of character.
3. Pre-assembly. Assemble the elements and fold the toy without gluing. If all the parts are sufficient, they are suitable in proportions and sizes, proceed to final assembly.
4. To sew the main element, we use a loop stitch. We connect the base with all the parts that will be sewn together.
5. Glue small elements with a glue gun. When assembling, we focus on the primary sketch.
6. The ears are the last to be attached. Place both main elements facing each other. Attach to the finished toy. The ends of the ears should point inward. Sew and turn the toy inside out. The doll is placed on the finger of a child or adult.
