How to come up with an interesting master class for a child?
Coming up with a master class is a secondary issue.
It is necessary to choose a consistent theme for the master class that will interest the child and hold his attention until the end of the event. Therefore, it is very important to carefully correlate the selected work process, experience and age of the participants. It will be uninteresting for very young children to sculpt a figure from plasticine, because they are unlikely to come up with something similar to the appearance of a real silhouette. For small beginners, it will be much easier to start gluing parts to a ready-made figure. But those who study in primary school can easily cope with the whole process on their own. For schoolchildren, it is better to give something logical and creative that will make them think, but always in their area of interest. You cannot force children to do something that is not a priori interesting to them. In this case, your master class can turn into an ordinary school lesson, which the children simply “sit through” until the bell rings in order to quickly say goodbye to the teacher.
When you think over a master class, pay attention to the age and purpose of the event. So that the child knows what he was striving for. The greater the likelihood of successful completion of the class, the happier the child will be, and, therefore, you too!
If you have the opportunity, you can organize a fair with participants’ crafts. This way, children will see the purpose of the process and their actions more clearly. The fair format is especially suitable for master classes on handicrafts and appliqué creation.
Necessary rules for working with scissors
Children love to play pranks, and there is no escape from it. When you have scissors in your hands, even if they are specifically designed for children, there is no reason to leave them alone.
Children cannot be trusted. He started playing, got scared, got carried away, and the scissors cut off the excess. Underneath there are often items that are not intended for crafts. Tablecloth, curtains, clothes - can be cut in half. Children with great imagination can cut out a heart from their mother’s favorite dress and then give it to her.
To avoid such incidents, parents should follow the following rules:
- the child should not be left alone with scissors;
- the blades at the ends of the scissors should have blunt ends;
- scissors should be ringed with rubber bands to avoid chafing delicate skin;
- a good parent provides tools only for work, not for play.
What types of children's master classes are there?
Today you can find a variety of original master classes depending on the interests and age of children.

DIY toys as gifts
There is no need to come up with an original gift for a girl; sew your own soft toy from affordable and easy-to-work felt. We have several suitable master classes for such a case.
A cute felt hedgehog is ready to delight its new owner during the day and even at night, turning into a sleep toy.
A felt cat falling asleep on a pillow will help put the fidget to sleep by his example. During the daytime, you can play any games with him, even school and theater. An obedient student will listen carefully to the verse or song.

A simple felt cake can be made in just half an hour. Not a bad idea if you need to make a gift with your own hands quickly and without extra effort.

Felting is not the easiest craft, but the toys in this technique are practically “alive.” If you are not ready to felt a hedgehog now, come back to this tutorial later and be sure to learn how to felt wool.
For those who do not know how to sew, knit or felt, there is a simple technique for making original toys as a gift with your own hands. Chenille wire was originally invented for completely different purposes, but creative people found more useful uses for it. The girl won’t even find any signs of technical chenille in the fluffy dog.
And another simple craft - a bird made of threads that can move and dance. It is recommended to make such a bird for a preschool girl.
Every girl's dream is a LOL doll; you can make one as a gift with your own hands from light plasticine or air-hardening polymer clay. Our fashionable girl is holding a handbag in her hands. The outfit is made in a nautical style.
The same plasticine or clay makes cute toy animals. For example, this cat. It is unlikely that he will leave anyone indifferent. The material hardens, you can safely play with the cat.
Gifts for little girls
If your task is to make a gift for a newborn girl with your own hands, pay attention to our hit - a cocoon for babies. Don’t expect quick results - sewing will require time, patience, accuracy and experience.
If you need something simpler, then a developmental dachshund is suitable - a toy that will teach the baby various skills.
A similar task is performed by a knitted cube, supplemented with educational elements. Of course, such a toy will not be needed immediately after birth, but mom will appreciate the gift soon.
And another educational toy – a biscorn cube. This technique is very interesting and exciting, because the craft needs not only to be sewn, but also assembled correctly.
Booties for a baby are suitable as a useful gift. Just don’t be lazy to pack them beautifully so that everything is at the highest level!

To ensure that the little girl has a good appetite, turn an ordinary spoon into a children's spoon, adding decorative material from polymer clay. Our master class describes the process of sculpting a giraffe.
If you wish, you can make a whole set by purchasing a simple children’s set of spoons and forks in the store. Typically these sets include 4 items.
We hope that this original selection of master classes on making gifts for girls with your own hands will help you please your little one or your friends’ daughter. We are sure that you will enjoy the process too.
Tools and materials
Purchasing the necessary paraphernalia for a master class is a very complex issue. If this is your first time organizing such an event and you are going to buy everything at the nearest supermarket, be prepared to shell out a decent amount of money.
For a large-scale event (at least 10 people), we recommend placing an order in an online store, where the product will most likely be significantly lower, plus you may receive a discount from a wholesale purchase.
For those who are planning a master class in advance, the ideal solution would be to place an order on the website of a Chinese store. Their only drawback is long delivery, and you can choose quite high-quality products if you carefully study the comments and reviews of customers.

Amazing paper crafts - master classes
Curly Lamb
“Curly Lamb” is a craft that requires working with scissors and knowledge of shapes. The color of the craft can be chosen as standard for a ram, gray or brown, or you can allow your imagination to choose your own color. A child’s purple lamb will look very cute, for example, as a Christmas tree decoration or as a gift.
6 rectangles are cut out of paper: 4 identical small shapes (legs), one large (body) and one medium (head). Each rectangle is rolled into a cylinder and glued together. Ears are made in the form of two small triangles, and eyes are made from two small ovals. The main idea is to cut as many medium-thin strips as possible, which are twisted into curls using scissors.
At the assembly stage, all the component parts of the animal are glued together. The resulting curls are attached to the body, do not forget about the ears and eyes.
Chicks in the nest
For this craft you will need the following materials: a lot of brown cardboard, yellow cardboard, black paper, glue, scissors.
Two wide strips and a circle with a diameter of approximately 10 - 15 cm are cut out of brown cardboard. We cut the resulting strips from below along the entire length, after which we bend the cut parts and glue them to the circle. It turns out to be a nest. The only task left is to fill the nest with brushwood. Small strips are cut from brown cardboard and placed in a cardboard container. It turned out to be a full-fledged nest.
The chicks will be created from yellow cardboard. To do this, two strips are cut out: one thick but short, the other long and thin. A cylinder is twisted and glued from the strips, after which they are inserted into each other so as to form a three-dimensional figure. Two tiny circles are cut out of black paper, which serve as eyes for the chicks. You can make one chick, or you can make two or three. You need to focus on the size of the birds and how full the nest is.
Peacock tail
The creativity of the craft depends not only on the chosen non-standard colors, but also on the shapes of the objects. A child’s little hands can be not only tools for creating crafts, but also the very template for the conceived shapes.
To create an original peacock you need: multi-colored colored paper (tail), brown (body), yellow (beak), black (eyes) paper, as well as scissors, glue and one thick cardboard, which will serve as the basis for the applique.
Different colored paper will serve as the color scheme for the peacock's tail. The child's hand is placed on the sheet and outlined with a pencil. After which the hand mark is cut out and used as a peacock feather. It turns out a lush bouquet from the palms of a child.
A pear-shaped oval is cut out of brown paper - the body, and glued on top of the tail. “Beads” are created from black paper – eyes, and from yellow paper – a beak.
The application turns out to be very funny and unusual. The child not only participates in the creation of the craft, like a real master, but he himself is a direct part of it. Bringing such a peacock to kindergarten will be very pleasant.
Cup holder “Bee”
For this craft you will need a small plastic bottle, yellow, beige and black paper, a white sheet, glue, and scissors.
We cut off the neck of a plastic bottle, retreating about 5 cm. We cover the resulting glass with yellow paper. Strips about 1 cm wide are cut out of black paper, after which they are glued to the bee’s body.
A white sheet of paper is the base for the wings. Folding the sheet in half, a model of the wing is drawn from the bend side. Using scissors, a wing is cut out; when the paper is laid out, you get two connected absolutely identical bee wings. The wings are glued to the back of the cup.
Beige paper is used to create a bee's face. A circle is cut out. Using black paper, “beads” are created - eyes, nose and mouth. And also two small antennas. Antennas can be made from black thin strips. An interesting option is when the antennae are curled with scissors, resulting in a very funny face. The finished face is attached to the front of the cup.
When all the components are assembled and glued, you get a funny cup holder in the shape of a bee. Taking a photo with such a craft is an obligatory part of creation.
Crafts, which are subsequently used in everyday life, instill in the child a sense of the value of manual labor. This is a craft you can proudly bring to class.
Crafts for children 5 years old can bring joy not only to the children themselves, but also to adults. A boundless flight of fantasy makes you look at the world in a completely different way. Spending pleasant time with paper crafts also brings benefits for the development of the child. This is not only finger motor skills, accuracy, but most importantly, the value of human labor.
