We always want our little ones to be comfortable in their room, even in rainy autumn weather. Therefore, we try to decorate their comfortable corner as interesting as possible. Today we will do it together rainbow and paper umbrella. Step-by-step descriptions with photos will be clear even to children.

Paper rainbow

To make a paper rainbow we will need:

• Colored paper;
• Scissors;
• Needle;
• Glue;
• 3 beads;
• Sintepon or cotton wool.

For such a product, it is not important to use double-sided paper. The colors of the sheets should be the same as the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

First we need to prepare colored paper. We need sheets of rainbow colors. Cut out strips from them. There will be 7 of them. The width of each strip should be 3 cm, and their length will be different. Each new strip will be 1.5 cm shorter than the previous one.

Now we need to divide each strip in half and draw a thin, barely noticeable line with a simple pencil.
Photo 2

Now we put all the stripes on top of each other in the correct order - “Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits”. Fold it so that the drawn lines lie on top of each other.

Use a needle to pierce the strips in the center of the drawn line.

We take out the needle. We turn the strips over if the paper is one-sided. We stack them on top of each other, connecting the ends.

If the paper is double-sided, there is no need to turn it over.
Sew the edge. You can use a stapler.

Now we need to glue the second ends of the strips together.

Or you can also use a stapler.
We received a rainbow template.

Now let's add a cloud and rain to it. We thread a white thread into a needle and pull it through the holes in the center of each strip.
The thread should be long enough. Because the product will be hung on it. We make a loop on top.
We put a bead on this thread from below and secure it.

Next we'll make it rain. Cut out droplets from blue paper.

Spread a drop of glue and glue it to the thread.
Photo 13

Glue the second drop on top. Next, we’ll make 2 more droplets on the sides. To do this, take a new thread and pull it through the shortest strip and insert a bead. We fix it and glue the drop, slightly retreating the place on the thread. And repeat on the second side.

We cut off the excess thread under the droplet.
Now we need some padding polyester or cotton wool. Tear off small pieces. We will make clouds.
Lubricate the tip of the rainbow on both sides with glue and glue the padding polyester.
We do the same on the other side.

The decoration for the children's room in the form of a bright rainbow is ready!

Paper umbrella

Autumn may well not be as sad as everyone is used to. It's enough to find something fun in it. For example, you can do bright craft from colored paper. This may be a symbol of autumn weather - umbrella.

Alternating colors, we will make our umbrella striped. And if you use all the sheets from a package of colored paper, you will get a fun rainbow umbrella.

Materials for work:
colored paper;
glue;
cotton swab;
decorative tape;
scissors.

Instructions for use

From colored paper dark blue cut out a circle (diameter 10 cm), fold it twice. For an umbrella you will need 4 such blanks. Photo 3.

We also cut out 4 circles from white paper and fold them. Photo 4.

We take a dark blue blank. Apply a few drops of glue in the areas shown. Photo 5.

Lubricate the second (white blank) with glue in the same way. Now let's glue them together. Photo 6.

We continue to glue the blanks to each other, alternating white with dark blue. Photo 7.

Let the glue dry a little. We unfold the umbrella dome, glue the outer parts together, giving the craft the desired shape. Photo 8.

One end cotton swab Lubricate with glue. We thread it into the center of the dome between the paper parts. This will be the handle of our umbrella. Photo 9.

We wrap the visible end of a cotton swab decorative tape. Photo 10.

A funny umbrella made of colored paper is ready!

Admit it, when you see a rainbow, you also can’t take your eyes off and go about your business? This natural phenomenon not only brightens (and in the literal sense of the word too) our lives, it imperceptibly gives a complete feeling of happiness, generously shares joy, and gives a feeling of involvement in magic. Isn't this a reason to think about surrounding yourself with as many rainbows as possible? Everyday life? It is clear that painting a house completely inside and outside with stripes of seven colors is overkill, but filling the space with crafts, handicrafts and other beauties with DIY rainbow- why not? If you have neither the time nor the mood for such feats, involve children in the task, they will quickly provide you with everything you need! Yes, just don't forget to give them necessary materials, and the deal is in the bag: DIY rainbow, that is, with the hands of children, you are ready!

DIY rainbow - 5 crafts with children:

1. Drawing

All children love to draw! Of course, if you offer them strictly 7 faded pencils and a piece of paper, it is unlikely that anyone will be seriously inspired by the rainbow theme, but you can move away from the templates. Have you tried drawing with dad's shaving foam? Or mom's eye shadow? And if instead of a brush you take something non-standard, it will be a million times more interesting!

2. Application

For small children - something primitive, for older ones - something more complex. But the essence is the same: take multi-colored material (paper, felt, hand-dyed cotton wool, beads, ribbons, fabrics) and fold a rainbow with your own hands. Brighter, richer, more fun. It could be a picture on the wall, a poster on the door, a postcard for grandma - anything, as long as it’s with the seven-colored beauty who gives everyone joy!

3. Rainbow Balloon Balls

Yes, you will have to tinker a little here - most likely, the children will not be able to cope with this craft on their own, however, just think about how much positive benefit and joy such creativity will bring, and you will no longer have any doubts about the feasibility of the project. Go to the store, buy the smallest balls and be sure to entertain the children with such rainbow beauty. It's worth it.

4. Rainbow garland

Decorate your home with a homemade garland the kids make? Why not? It will be bright and beautiful, soulful and very warm. Well, and besides everything else, it’s also rosy! Choose a base (thread, rope, tape or just paper) and create what you like.

Bright colors not only appeal to children, but they are also good for their psyche. And the rainbow, like a mix of colors, will ensure harmonious development. It is not for nothing that rainbows are used in the decoration of many children’s rooms. Do it with your kids and cheer yourself up! It’s nice to look at these crafts even in pictures!

RAINBOW 1
Made with paints on thick cardboard, decorated with cotton balls. You need to make 2 cardboard holder sticks behind the rainbow so that the rainbow can stand on the baby’s table or above the bed. The holders are simply cut out of cardboard and glued to the main rainbow with glue or tape.

RAINBOW 2
Plasticine

RAINBOW 3
You need to cut out long strips of colored cardboard or simply paint them White list colors of the rainbow and cut out strips. The cloud is made from white paper: you need to make either thick cardboard (so that the places where the rainbow stripes are attached are not visible), or fasten circles cut out of cardboard in several rows.

RAINBOW 4
Strips of thick cardboard different lengths(the ones below are shorter) are fastened at the ends, as in the picture, the ends are glued together and decorated on one side with cotton wool, and on the other side in any other way - you can also use cotton wool. It is important to make a small hole in the middle of each strip through which a thread will be passed in order to bring the rainbow, for example, to a cornice.

RAINBOW 5
Various buttons

RAINBOW 6
Finger painting with baby's palms

RAINBOW 7
Finger paints, pad prints

RAINBOW 8
A sheet of paper is painted with stripes of rainbow colors, then drops are cut out from this sheet. The cloud can be made in the same way as in Rainbow 3. Glue colored threads to the drops with tape and glue the threads to the cloud with tape. The craft needs to be hung on the wall. If you make the rainbow rays long, you can get a good height meter for a baby.

RAINBOW 9
Corrugated paper is glued to a cardboard base and decorated with cotton wool

They hover above the ground,
Amazed people
They look to the heavens.
The rainbow spread
Smooth semicircle
Festive halo
It suddenly opened.

Mystery of the Earth,
Unanswerable miracle
In the dust of the sun.
A splash of fabulous sparkles,
Washed by the rain.

The flower bed took off.
Rainbow washed
Seen in the distance.
Marvelous rocker
On the shoulders of the Earth.

And we can make a rainbow that will not disappear and will delight us even on a rainy or snowy day!
Materials: a small sheet of cardboard (any color, I have white), double-sided colored paper, pencil, ruler, scissors, PVA glue, cotton pads, white thread.

Progress:

Cut 2 cm wide strips of double-sided colored paper in the colors found in the rainbow

Cut a strip of 16x4 cm from white cardboard, draw a line along the middle with a pencil dividing this strip in half, and separate 1 cm from each edge. Apply glue to the area as shown in the photo:

Starting from the red stripe, focusing on the drawn line, stick the colored stripes in a rainbow sequence:

Now we glue the cotton pads:

I have 4 pieces arranged very well:

To make the cloud bigger, we’ll make a second row of disks, but one less:

Done. We turn our craft over and glue a loop of thread:

We also cover the cardboard strip with cotton pads:

Our craft is ready! You can hang it on the wall and admire it on a rainy day, you can decorate a window, and the breeze that comes through the window will play with colored stripes, you can take it with you outside and determine the strength and direction of the wind, you can blow on the stripes yourself one by one.
This is how my four-year-old students completed this task:

Spring is coming into its own everywhere. The sun is shining brighter, the first flowers are blooming, and in some places the first grass has already grown. Project participants "Weekend with your favorite book" We also felt the warm breath of spring and created spring crafts with our children: flowers and a rainbow. I hope that this wave of inspiration will penetrate every home and your creative activities with children will become bright and warm in spring.

Rainbow-arc

We made a rainbow out of paper. We needed double-sided colored paper, glue, pencils and markers, and scissors. Jaromir cut colored double-sided paper in rainbow colors into strips of equal width but different lengths. The purple stripe is the longest, the red stripe is the shortest. Then I glued the strips together at both ends. Red with orange, then with yellow, etc. The result was a three-dimensional rainbow. The son drew a lake on a piece of paper and threw a rainbow across the lake (glued it to the drawing). We signed the craft “Rainbow-arc”.

Hydrangea and gerbera

We made crafts of flowers from lids from bags with fruit puree. We have a lot of colorful caps. So I decided to invite my son to make a flower from them. He himself selected the lids with holes. I took out a string, my son deftly strung the lids onto the string and got so carried away that he began stringing the juice straw as well. At first she gave in quite easily, but somewhere in the middle things stalled. The child became nervous, I had to help. At the end of the rope we tied something like a knot. So we got a stem, but it couldn’t support such a massive inflorescence.

Mom suggested we think about the vase. This is how a glass with a handle appeared. The son made the leaves from green paper, simply tearing it, crumpling it a little and putting it in a glass vase. And then the son proudly ran around the apartment and showed everyone his flower. Most likely we got hydrangea!

The youngest daughter made her flower a little earlier. The result is a graphic flower made from a pyramid. Most of all it reminded me of gerbera.

Oksana Demidova, son Fedya, 4 years old, and daughter Anya, 1 year and 5 months old, St. Petersburg.

My son's choice fell on voluminous flowers made from multi-layered petals. Taking double-sided colored paper, Misha traced circles and cut them out. Folded in half and in half again, then I drew the outline of the cutting and now the first petals are ready. He found the sequential gluing very interesting, when the flower immediately becomes alive and voluminous.

Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?

For the cores, we used the remains of rhinestones that I once used to embroider a picture, and a glue gun. The stems are made from cocktail tubes and complemented with leaves of colored paper. We decorated the jar with material from flower packaging and our little bouquet is ready.

Svetlana Radionova and son Mikhail, 7 years old. Saint Petersburg.

For this bouquet you will need double-sided colored paper, scissors and glue. Take a green sheet of paper, fold it in half and cut the “noodles” with scissors, leaving about 2 cm at the bottom edge. Then we roll up the sheet, glue it together and straighten the resulting “grass”.

Then we cut out flowers from multi-colored double-sided colored paper, draw hearts with them and glue them onto our grass in any order. That's all. The bouquet is ready, you can give it to your mother!

Carnations

We made a bouquet of carnations. To make flowers we needed:

• napkins (white and green);
• markers;
• wire.

We take several white napkins, fasten them with a clothespin so that they don’t move apart, draw a circle and cut them out. Next, use a felt-tip pen to carefully color the edges. We insert a wire into the center of the flower and secure it. For flowers, my husband gave us braided copper wire. You need to clean the tip so that it is sharper, pierce the napkins and bend it with pliers. It is enough to make a small hook. Since the napkins are folded in several layers, they seem to hold this hook themselves, and you don’t have to be particularly sophisticated.
