Exciting handicrafts will allow your child to develop their creative abilities. Such activities unite the whole family, and the quick result of their work always pleases the kids. Let's look at what you can make a sun out of at home.

Sun from disks

We will need:

• colored and corrugated paper;
• CDs for computer;
• PVA or TITANIUM glue;
• strong threads;
• ruler, felt-tip pens and a simple pencil.

How to make a sun

• Colored sheets of A4 paper should be marked with a simple pencil into strips 1 cm wide.
• Cut the sheets into equal strips along the lines. These will be rays.
• Grease the edges of our disk and glue strips of paper in a circle, for example, 5 yellow, 5 blue, 5 green, 5 orange. You can alternate stripes.
• Fold the strips in half to form loops and glue them on the other side of the disk.
• Taking another disk, we trace it with a pencil on yellow paper.
• Use scissors to cut the circle.
• We draw a mischievous face for the sun: bangs, eyes, plump cheeks, mouth and nose. Let him laugh or smile, wink, etc.
• Glue the painted yellow circle onto the disk.

Decoration of the sun from disks

• Fold the corrugated paper like an accordion.
• Using a simple pencil, draw semicircular flower petals of 2-3 shades, 5-6 petals each.
• Then you need to cut along the lines with scissors. You will get several petals of the same color, for example, red and lilac.
• To make voluminous petals, wind them on scissors until the middle of the petal and set aside.
• We collect 5-6 petals of the same color into a flower, with 2 yellow petals in the center (middle).
• At the bottom of the flowers we secure the petals tightly with threads so that they hold well.
• We glue the finished flowers (3-4 pieces) to our sun - this will be a forelock. You can add a green leaf and beads, as in the picture.
• We fold the colored thread in half, about 2 times the size of the rays of the sun.

An elegant little sun can be hung by a thread on the wall or in a convenient place.

Sun made of cardboard or disposable plate

This is also a simple sun craft, suitable for kindergarten, which will cheer up both children and adults. To work you need:

• yellow-orange paper;
• yellow-orange cardboard or 1-time plate;
• paints;
• simple pencil;
• glue and scissors.

Step-by-step making of a cardboard sun

For the circle of the sun, you need to take yellow cardboard, place the saucer on top and trace it with a pencil, getting a circle. If you have a disposable small plate, you can take it as a basis and paint it with bright yellow paints.

Take yellow-orange sheets of paper and trace the child’s palm on them. They will become the original rays of our sun. If you circle the palms of the whole family, you get a “family sun.” Each “palm” needs to be cut out of paper with scissors with small allowances for gluing.

One “palm” (rays) needs to be glued to the inside of the 1-time plate. You can adjust the length of the rays and density yourself.

The face of the sun turns out to be convex. Using a felt-tip pen (pencil) we draw eyes and a big mouth. You can cut it out of colored paper and stick it on a plate in a circle or cardboard. Waiting for it to dry. The craft is ready. Instead of palms, you can take yellowish napkins, roll them up, and glue the pieces around the plate.

Sun made of colored paper

A fun craft can be made from plain paper. Prepare:

• colored paper 2-4 colors (yellow, pink, cream, orange);
• felt-tip pen;
• glue and scissors;
• sticks.

Detailed instructions on how to make a sun with your own hands:

• We fold colored A4 sheets into a small accordion.
• Fold the accordions in half, cut at an angle to create cloves with the point up.
• We glue the “accordions” folded in half with other colors (yellow-pink, etc.). You should get a circle with sharp rays.
• Now, approximately 2 times smaller in diameter, cut out 2 circles, for example, pink. Cut out slightly larger circles of a different color (yellow) with waves, as in the picture.
• Glue the pink even circles onto the wavy yellow ones. You will get 2 funny faces. Let them dry.
• We glue the finished 2-color circles onto the accordions on both sides.
• The craft can be attached to a thin stick (juice tube) so that it is convenient to hold in your hands or placed in a small vase.

A mischievous little thing (or several) will look beautiful in a children's room. It can be placed in the ground next to a house plant and fixed on a shelf. Can be glued to the window.

Fabric sun

Let's look at another beautiful craft on the theme of the sun, but it is more complicated. Prepare for work:

• a piece of fabric and yellow thread;
• cardboard;
• padding polyester (cotton pad or foam rubber);
• wooden skewer or thin stick;
• glue "Titan" or "Master".

Stages of work:

Cut an even circle from cardboard, size as desired. From yellow fabric we cut out a circle 1-1.5 cm larger.

Place a cotton pad (foam rubber) on a cardboard circle, cover it with a yellow cloth and turn it over. Now you need to sew the edges of our sun with light threads.

To do this, we first sew over the edge in a circle of fabric, then with a needle we firmly tighten the ends of the fabric from one side to the other, as shown in the figure.

You can glue the edges of the fabric to the wrong side without threads, having previously trimmed the ends of the fabric by about 0.3 cm. Glue the edges of the fabric on top of each other.

Rays - take yellow fabric like “Gabardine” or another. Using scissors, cut a rectangle of approximately 3-4 cm. The length of the rays will depend on the base of the circle. Let mom help you calculate: 3.14 (number P) multiplied by d (diameter). Then + 2 cm is the length of the rays.

Pull one thread at a time horizontally from the rectangle so that 0.5-0.7 cm remains. You get a fringe. From the inside we glue the fringe in a circle. Glue a wooden skewer or thin stick to the inside.

From cardboard or thick yellow material, cut out a circle slightly smaller in size than our base. Glue it to the wrong side, covering the stick and threads.

On the front side we draw eyes for the sun and a red mouth in a semicircle. You can paint with a brush and acrylic paints. Our craft is ready. Instead of fabric, the rays can be thin, long strips of foam rubber or foil.

We offer a lot of photo ideas for sun crafts for kids.

Simple crafts on a variety of topics can be a fun activity not only for kids, but also for adults. And if you don’t know what to do with your child while sitting at home in rainy weather, then we will help you with this. For example, together with your baby, make a sun that will give you warmth and charge you with positivity even in the cloudiest weather.

What can you make a sun out of?

Here you need to give free rein to your imagination, since this simple craft can be made from a variety of different materials. And most importantly, you don’t have to buy this material; you can make a sun from improvised materials. This can be paper, both newspaper and colored, cardboard, thread, old disks or records, disposable tableware or, ultimately, balloons. Your craft can be anything, it all depends on your desire and inspiration.

So, we present to your attention several master classes on how to easily make a sun craft for your child.

How to make a sun from colored paper?

At the first stage of our work, we should prepare all the necessary material and tools: bright yellow paper, scissors, glue, thick thread, paints.

Now you can get to work.

How to make a sun craft from disks?

This craft is also quite easy to make. To do this you will need sheets of paper of several colors, 2 disks, scissors and glue.

Progress:

1. We fold sheets of colored paper into an accordion (the width of the strip should be slightly wider than 1 cm).
2. Using scissors, round the corners on both sides.
3. Fold the fan in half and glue it together so it doesn’t come apart.
4. You will need 4 of these fans. Glue the fans together.
5. We seal the holes on the disks with pre-cut circles and decorate the face of the sun.
6. We glue the disks on both sides of our rays and place them under a press (for secure fastening). The miracle sun is ready!

The other day my first-grader was given an assignment: to prepare DIY crafts for Maslenitsa. We thought for a long time about what kind of craft we should make and decided to make a sun. After all, the sun is a symbol of Maslenitsa; it returns to people after the long, harsh days of winter.
Craft materials:

• Colored paper (we will need yellow and orange)
• PVA glue
• Scissors
• Cardboard

To begin with, we will show you how to make a sun out of paper and a disk:
First of all, we will cut strips of colored paper, the color is yellow.

We glue the strips together in the shape of a droplet.

Now we glue the strips onto the disk along the edges.

We cut orange stripes, but their length is longer than the yellow stripes. Glue the ends of each strip in the shape of a drop:

Glue paper droplets to the disk.

Cut out a circle from yellow paper and draw the face of the sun. We glue the face to the disk on the other side and in front of us is an original and bright sun.

The sun from children's palms.
To begin, take several sheets of yellow and orange paper and carefully trace your palms with a pencil.

We cut out our palms from paper. The more palms you get, the more sun will come out. We prepared about 20 palms.

Cut out a circle from cardboard and draw a face for our sun.

First we lay out our palms in a circle, and then we make rays and glue on the face.

The sun is ready!
As you can see, everything is simple and easy to do, and even much younger children can handle this craft.

Children in the middle and older groups of kindergarten should be able to work with scissors, glue and paper. Joint crafts with their teachers help them with this. The circle is one of the simplest shapes a child can master. Therefore, the first arts and crafts lessons usually include working with round shapes, such as the image of the sun. In the master class below we will look at how you can make a sun quickly and easily with your own hands, using various techniques available to the smallest craftsmen.

How to make a sun with your own hands from your palms in a master class

One of the most popular crafts for kindergarten is making panels from palms outlined on paper and cut out. This technique not only teaches children to use paper and scissors, but also helps to establish good relationships with other kids in the group, because the sun is made from palms collectively.

• colored paper yellow, orange and red;
• printed image of the sun (optional);
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• double-sided tape or stapler;
• film for lamination.

We trace children's palms on sheets of colored paper and cut out 45-50 blanks of different colors. We place the blanks in lamination film and cut along the contour, preventing the formation of air bubbles between the film and paper. We connect our palms into long rays, folding them overlapping and fastening them with a stapler or tape, 4-5 pieces at a time. We place the rays in a circle in the shape of a sun, fixing them in several places.

When all the rays from the palms are connected, glue the printed image of the sun to the center. You can draw the face yourself on a plain paper mug using markers or colored pencils.

The craft is ready!

Let's try to assemble a simple pasta sun with your child

An unusual and very easy-to-make panel can be made using shaped pasta. This work will help your child learn to carefully lay out the elements of a picture, comparing materials of different shapes and textures.

• curly pasta: rings, bows, etc.;
• gouache;
• PVA glue;
• brush;
• white and colored paper;
• colored cardboard;
• cotton pads;
• large beads.

Cut a sheet of colored cardboard to the required size. If you don't have colored cardboard, you can use white cardboard and glue a sheet of bright paper onto it. We mark a circle in the center of the base and apply a fairly large amount of glue to this area. We fill the center of the sun with round or hexagonal shaped pasta, placing them tightly in relation to each other.

We cut yellow or orange paper into equal strips about 0.5 cm wide and twist them tightly onto a pencil, forming spirals. We glue the blanks in the form of rays of the sun, with the exception of its upper part - we will decorate it differently.

We cut the cotton pads and glue them together, as shown in the photo below. For this craft you will need to make 5 of these flowers.

We attach the flowers to the sun’s head in two rows, and glue a bead to the center of each. We cut out blanks for the eyes, nose and mouth from colored paper, glue them together and decorate the sun’s face. We glue pasta in the form of bows to the ends of the rays and paint them with multi-colored gouache. If desired, the pasta sun can be placed in a frame.

Let's make a fun craft in the shape of a sun with pigtails

The sun with pigtails is a very fun and easy craft to make. She will teach kids how to work with threads, weave simple braids and evenly distribute elements around the perimeter of the product.

• disposable paper plate;
• yellow and orange yarn;
• colored paper;
• hole puncher;
• stapler;
• glue;
• scissors;
• additional decor: eyes for toys, ribbons.

Using a hole punch, we make several holes around the perimeter of the plate, located at the same distance from each other. This operation must be carried out by the teacher. We cut the yarn into pieces of equal length and fold them into identical bundles according to the number of holes in the plate. We drag each bunch of threads into a plate (this can easily be done using a crochet hook), braid a three-part braid and tie it with a thread. We braid all the braids like this and trim them slightly with scissors. You can alternate yellow and orange braids. We make fluffy bangs from scraps of yarn. To do this, cut the orange threads into pieces 8-10 cm long, put them in a bundle and tie them tightly with a thread in the middle. Attach the bangs to the plate using a stapler or a small piece of tape.

We decorate the face: glue on the eyes, draw eyelashes, lips, cheeks and nose. You can paste a finished image printed on a color printer.

If desired, we tie multi-colored ribbon bows to the braids, and attach a loop at the back to hang the panel on the wall.

DIY paper sun

The sun is one of the ancient symbols, because without the sun, life on our planet would be impossible. Since ancient times, people have welcomed the Sun in the spring, rejoiced at it, celebrated Maslenitsa, and baked round pancakes on Maslenitsa - symbols of the spring sun. They also made larks and grouse.

And the children and I will make a spring sun out of paper with our own hands. Let it bring smiles and spring mood to our homes!

In this article you will find five options - five ideas for making a paper sun with your own hands with your children:

• Option 1. Sun made from paper palms.
• Option 2. Sun made of paper folded like an accordion.
• Option 3. Sun using origami technique (one-color and two-color).

Master class 1. Sun made from paper palms using applique technique

Tools and materials for making a sun with your own hands

To work you need:

• colored paper,
• PVA glue or pencil,
• felt-tip pens
• scissors.

How to make a sun out of palms with children

Step 1.

Trace your palm 4 times onto colored paper. Cut out the palms.

Step 2. Cut two circles with a diameter of 10 cm from yellow paper.

Step 3. Fold a piece of paper in half and make a lip template for the sun's mouth. Expand the template and see if this form suits us. You can attach the mouth detail to one of the circles of the sun and check whether you like this detail in shape and size.

Step 4. Glue the part of the sun's mouth onto the circle.

Step 5. Prepare the details of the sun's eyes:

- cut out two circles or two almond-shaped pieces from white paper,

- cut out two circles from blue paper and stick them on the white eye blanks,

- cut out smaller black circles and glue the pupils onto the eye blanks or draw the pupils with a black felt-tip pen.

Glue the eye blanks onto the circle of the sun.

Step 6 To design the face of the sun:

- draw eyebrows, eyelashes, nose in black or brown,

- Draw cheeks with a red or pink felt-tip pen. You can cut out circles and glue them in place of the cheeks.

- draw bangs.

Step 7 Place the cut out palms under the sun and try them on in a circle like rays. Trace a circle around your palms and cut off the excess. (You can do it another way: glue your palms to the circle immediately, without trying on).

Step 8 Glue your palms onto the bottom circle.

Turn the workpiece over and glue the top circle on top, on which we decorated the face of the sun. The sun is ready. Good luck in your creativity! Have a nice Maslenitsa week!
