Today I want to show you two ways to make a paper car with children. Such crafts arouse increased interest in boys and become excellent home-made toys. If you have a printer, then the possibilities are unlimited and you can make a whole collection of cars. And if not, do not be sad - there is an interesting option for you.

Materials for 1 version of the machine:

• Tube (foil roll)
• Stationery knife
• colored paper
• Glue stick
• Cardboard

(option 1)

From the roll we cut off a part to the desired length of the machine, we also cut out 4 circles for the wheels from cardboard.

We glue the roll with paper circles on both sides. This is done as follows: cut out a circle larger in diameter than the roll, apply the roll, draw a contour and make cuts on paper along the edges. Coat the edges with glue and glue to the roll.

By the way, in this way you can make a cool toy for the Christmas tree: a drum.

Cover the entire roll with paper. We also glue blanks made of cardboard for wheels with black or dark paper.

We make cuts in the upper part of the roll so as to unscrew the cardboard of the roll in front and back. In these places we glue the steering wheel and chair cut out of colored paper. Glue the wheels to the roll and the machine is ready!

(option 2)

Of the materials we need: a printer, cardboard or A4 paper, scissors and glue. If you have a black and white printer, then paints, felt-tip pens or pencils will also come in handy.

The manufacturing process is simple: print the template you like, decorate it if necessary, cut it out and assemble the machine by gluing the parts.

We have the following model:

And here are the templates for making paper cars:

Every boy loves to play with cars very much, he will not soon assemble a metal structure on his own, but to teach a child to do paper models very easy. Parents will need a little time, paper, glue and scissors. You can create such cars using the origami technique or a 3D design, for each method there are necessary materials, instructions and recommendations.

How to make a car from waste material?

The older the boy gets, the more he will be interested in complex models, including paper. It remains for parents to suggest which creativity is more exciting, provide the necessary materials and good mood to complete the task. For boys, among all models, it is cars that enjoy great prestige, and buying different designs every day will cost parents a pretty penny. After a while, the child will lose all interest in these beautiful cars, so it’s more interesting and more useful to make a design on your own. It does not require large financial costs, it is enough desire and time.

You can create cars not only with the help of ready schemes, but also using improvised means, for example, cardboard and matches, wooden sticks and colored paper. For example, take a few cardboard cylinders left after toilet paper, each pasted with colored paper. After the fake dries, it is necessary to cut a rectangular hole on the surface of the cylinder, leave a little space on one side so that you can bend it and thus make a seat for the driver.

The design can also be decorated inside with felt-tip pens or a marker, to create a steering wheel, you should cut a circle out of white paper and glue it opposite the seat. The car can be additionally decorated with colored paper applications, choosing different shades. If the car is racing, you can put a number if Ambulance or a fire model, then you can also cut out the corresponding signs or draw them. To fasten the wheels, use small bolts or caps from a plastic bottle.

Volumetric 3D paper cars

To perform the work, it is necessary to prepare a printer, a paper sheet, scissors, cardboard material, as well as glue, colored pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.

The instruction is very simple, you can assemble a car out of paper without special skills or knowledge. First you need to print on paper a model of the machine you like, then stick the sheet on cardboard to make the design durable. The image is cut out along the contour, this is another advantage of this technique of creating a paper typewriter.

Important ! All lines are already marked on the sheet, so it will be easy for the child to fold the model, just bend along the contour and hide the remaining wings of the workpiece inside.

These white ends must be glued so that the structure does not fall apart, and if the cardboard is strong enough, then you can use not stationery PVA, but super glue. After that, the boy is left with the most interesting thing, to decorate the car at his discretion.

An easy way to make a paper car

With paper cars it’s also fun to play, just like with metal or plastic ones, you can arrange real races, and also build a garage, decorating all the structures with felt-tip pens, and using a toothpick to make a flag.

To create a paper typewriter, you need a square piece of paper, it should be folded in half, after which the edges should be unfolded and folded in the opposite direction to the middle of the sheet. Then, wrap the edges again in the opposite direction and fold the sheet of paper in half. Apply the outline of the car to the material, to do this, wrap the upper corners, then tuck them inward, two corners will peek out from below. They are also folded inward, after which it is necessary to make the wheels of the car.

Bend the lower corners back, rounding them a little, so you get wheels, in front, to make headlights, the corners must be laid inward. Do the same from the back of the car, all the details of the vehicle can be drawn, for example, wheels, headlights, doors or the driver behind the wheel. 15 minutes of time and a beautiful paper car is ready.

Origami car

This is a unique art that involves the creation of unusual paper figures, including cars. To work, it is enough to stock up on colored paper and patience, it is very easy, so children not only can, but also need to be connected, together you can create a whole car park. Or you can make a car out of banknote and give as a gift to a friend.

To create, for example, a sports car, you need to take a rectangular sheet, as a rule, the aspect ratio should be equal to 1:7. The work begins with the fact that the upper right and left corners are bent, so all the necessary folds are created. The next stage is the bending of the upper part of the sheet, along with the folded corners on the left and right. Small triangles will remain sticking out, which should also be folded towards the middle of the sheet of paper.

Next, you need to bend the sides of the leaf, fold the bottom, follow the same algorithm that was performed when folding the top of the paper. It remains only to fold the structure in half, fill in the triangles that look out and that's it, the machine is ready.

Making crafts with children always gives positive results. The motor skills of the hands and fingers, the eye, orientation in space, the ability to use scissors, the strength of the hands and fingers are developing, Creative skills and fantasy. Children repeat the features of cars, find out what parts they consist of. All this develops the thinking of kids.

Joint activities with parents also have their pleasant side. The child's speech develops, the ability to distribute responsibilities, take the initiative. If the parents decide to do needlework at home with the boy, then they will not find a better pastime than making a car out of paper with their own hands. Imagine several options for cars made of paper and cardboard.

Racing car

You will need the following materials: cardboard cylinder (remaining after using toilet paper), black and white cardboard, scissors, white and colored paper, felt-tip pen, pushpins, PVA glue.

First you need to take the cylinder and glue it with colored paper. We cut out 4 black circles under the stencil and 4 smaller white circles for future wheels. If you want there to be no holes in front and behind, then you need to circle the round part of the cylinder on a sheet of any colored paper. Next, cut out the circle. bigger size, cut the excess in the form of triangles, on which glue is subsequently applied. Then everything is glued to the end of the cylinder. Before gluing the circles on the back and front of the cylinder, you need to stick or draw on the headlights, grille or rear brake lights.

Then it remains to collect together all the details of the machine from paper with your own hands. For the driver, you need to cut a hole with scissors. The wheels in the center should be pierced with a button and bent inside it. At the end of the work, you need to draw decorations on colored paper. For example, a number or stripes on the sides, because the created car is a racing car.

locomotive

The next option for making a car out of paper with your own hands will be a toy steam locomotive. It has two main parts: the driver's cab and the trailer. To get started, you need to prepare scissors, PVA glue, corrugated packaging cardboard, colored paper, bolts with nuts, a rope and an awl.

On the cardboard you need to draw the shape of a steam locomotive and a trailer and 8 identical circles for the wheels. Carefully cut out the details, you should glue them with colored paper. The application should be detailed: a pipe, a driver's window, headlights, wheels, square windows can also be glued onto the trailer.

At the end, the parts are assembled. It will be interesting for the boy to work with real tools: pierce holes for wheels and rope with an awl, tighten bolts and nuts, tie the trailer to the train with a rope. Before making paper with his own hands, dad must explain the safety precautions for using scissors and an awl. The engine assembled in this way will roll, and it will be more interesting for the boy to play with him.

Machine according to the scheme

An interesting option would be to independently make a car out of paper with your own hands according to the schemes. Models of real cars can be purchased at the store, or you can follow the example to draw your own version of the model. Using the template, draw all the details in 3D projection. Next, with scissors, carefully cut along the contour and bend the edges of all parts. Glue is applied to the triangular corners, and the machine is assembled.

It should be noted that the wheels will not spin. This craft is perfect for kids. school age, since it requires complex preparatory work. To kids preschool age you can offer a purchase version of a printed typewriter simpler. They will only have to cut along the contour and glue the edges.

origami car

This is the most difficult of the proposed options. How to make an origami car out of paper with your own hands is shown in the diagram. First you need to have some experience in folding sheets. You need to start with a boat or an airplane, and then move on to a typewriter. The only requirement that must be observed with the origami technique is to carefully and evenly bend the parts by running your finger along the edge of the fold on the table.

The smoother the fold, the neater the end result looks. For the first time, work must be done under the guidance of an adult. These may be educators kindergarten, teachers elementary school or parents. Subsequently, understanding how to use the schematic instructions, the child will be able to make a car out of paper with his own hands. After the craft is completely ready, it can be painted, adding details.

Origami is the fascinating art of folding different shapes out of paper. And in this master class, we will tell you how to make paper cars using the origami technique, and also show how to fold a three-dimensional 3D model of a car according to the scheme. This activity is sure to appeal to children, and adults will bring a lot of fun. Therefore, stock up on sheets of colored paper and cardboard and create with your kids a whole fleet of paper cars with your own hands.

Origami paper cars

Required Tools

In order to fold the cars you will need:

• a square sheet of colored paper;
• scissors.

Instruction - Option 1

Let's take a closer look at how to make a typewriter out of paper:

1. Fold a square sheet of paper into four parts, outlining the auxiliary lines, and unfold back.

2. Bend the bottom of the sheet in half again. Then bend the corners down, creating the wheels of the future machine.

3. Fold the top of the sheet over middle line to myself.

4. Now bend the workpiece as shown in the figure.

5. Bend diagonally one of the corners of the upper part of the sheet, connecting the red dots indicated in the figure.

6. Turn the piece over. simple model cars are ready! (photo_6)

7. Instruction - Option 2
8. Now let's look at how to make a three-dimensional paper machine using the origami technique.
9. To get started, choose a sheet of paper in your favorite color, fold it in half and unfold it back.

10. Now we visually divide each of the formed halves of the sheet into three equal parts and bend one third from the top and one third from the bottom to the inside of the workpiece.
11. Bend the corners on four sides, as shown in the figure.

12. Fold in the small corners of the tops of the triangles to give a more rounded shape to the wheels of our paper car craft.
13. Bend the workpiece in half and lay it in front of you, placing the wheels down.

14. Bend one of the corners of the workpiece inward, along the dotted line shown in the figure.

15. Slightly cut the second corner and also bend inward. Thus, we got the windshield and hood of our car model.

16. The paper machine is ready! It remains only to draw glass, doors, headlights and other details on it as desired.

3D paper car

Necessary materials

In order to make a voluminous typewriter out of paper, you will need:

• Printer;
• a sheet of office paper;
• scissors;
• cardboard;
• glue;
• colored pencils, markers or paints.

Instruction

Consider step by step how to fold a typewriter out of paper:

Schemes of paper cars are also colored. In this case, you do not need to color anything. And to get a realistic miniature car model, you just need to print the scheme in good resolution on a color printer and fold it according to the instructions. But if the scheme of your typewriter is black and white or there is no color printer at hand, then the model can be painted with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints. Here you can let your imagination run wild and add interesting pattern or make a car of an unusual color.

What kid doesn't enjoy a car? The craft is well suited for playing and for breathing exercises. And if the child is actively involved in the process of assembling a car from paper, then this lesson for him it will be an unobtrusive exercise in the development of finger motor skills. So let's get started. You need a paper sheet from a pack of A4 format.

From a sheet, the child and I will make a simple machine.

We begin the process by bending the sheet in half. We look at the action in the first photo.

On the one hand, we divide the right angle in half with the help of a paper fold and unbend it to its original state. And we also copy the action - we bend it at an angle of forty-five degrees, and return it back from the opposite side of the product.

As a result, we created such bends on the sheet, without which we cannot do without in the future.

We carry out the same type of actions on the other side of the paper. The same 2 folds appear on the sheet.

After, as shown in the picture above, taking any of the sides (it doesn’t matter which one), we bring both parts to the center, holding the edges of the workpiece in the middle between the folds.

We act by analogy with the other side of the paper sheet. Our efforts were crowned with a creation resembling arrows pointing in different directions.

The next step is to split each side in half. We must bend the edges of the paper to the center, lifting our "arrows" on one side.

We perform the same manipulations symmetrically with the second side and lower the edges of the “arrows”. Check what you get with the photo.

And you also need to bend the second part of the arrow with the same movement.

Final finishing touches. It is necessary to bend the ends of the arrows in order to create visible wheel arch liners for our car. By bending the back, we will make a paper car spoiler. And we got a sports model - a racing car!

Decorate the car, give a special tuning, the kid can do it himself. Multi-colored pencils and felt-tip pens are also suitable. Give him complete freedom of imagination. At the end creative process ask to blow on the typewriter so that it starts up and goes. Short-term breathing exercises should not cause dizziness in a child!
