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, chubby 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, approximately 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;
- a 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.
- 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, first we 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 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.
Photo crafts sun
The sun brings an atmosphere of warmth and joy to the house.
Especially something made by yourself.
This is the best guest for a children's room. What if you make it with a double function: decoration and toy?!
Such a sunshine will be ready to delight your baby every minute. It can even be used as a small pillow.
The textile sun is easy to use and also easy to wash in the washing machine.
It is recommended to sew the sun with your own hands together with your child. This is a very useful activity. It learns to be methodical in the actions performed, disciplines and teaches concentration. The creative process of sewing develops fine motor skills and perseverance. During this activity, under the supervision of an adult, the child learns to use scissors and, if age allows, a needle.
All this brings the family closer together and unites them.. In addition, old unnecessary things disappear from the house and are born in a new interesting form.
To make a sun with your own hands you will need the following materials: round container (for example, an ordinary dinner plate), simple office paper for creating a pattern, fabric for the sun (you can use fleece or velor), fabric for lining (you can use calico), white and yellow felt, Moment glue, synthetic filler for the sun , yellow and orange yarn for making sun rays, ribbon for decoration, toy eyes, decorative buttons (bugs, vegetables, fruits), scissors, pencil, needle, matching threads, sewing machine.
The creative process of sewing the sun begins:
1. Take a suitable plate and place it on the paper. If desired, select dishes of the largest diameter. A circle appears. You need to draw one hand to the resulting circle yourself. It is located above the imaginary middle of the sun (Fig. 2);
2. The resulting pattern is folded in half and the future pattern is cut out (Fig. 3);
3. In Fig. Figure 4 shows a finished pattern with two handles. That's why there was no need to draw the second hand on paper yourself. The figure also shows in what positions the fingers can be inside the future finished toy;
4. Take paper in your hands and cut out another pattern - the back of the sun. It is equal in diameter to the first. An ellipse-shaped hole is made in it (Fig. 5). Subsequently, fabric will be sewn to this part along the entire edge - a sleeve;
5. To make a sleeve, a rectangular section is cut from a suitable fabric, the length of the side is equal to the length of the elliptical hole (Fig. 6). The depth of the fabric on the hand is measured at will (from 20 cm or more);
6. Figure 7 shows all the details that should ultimately be obtained;
7. Patterns can be transferred to fabric (Fig. 8). It is recommended to cut the sun according to the same pattern as for making a paper pattern: outline half, bend and cut out one whole. It is recommended to stitch the fabric along the outline before cutting, since the fabric tends to stretch greatly;
9. The lines of the handles are drawn together. There is no need to make allowances. There is also a hole for turning it right side out (Fig. 10);
10. Now you can cut out the part (Fig. 11). In parallel with this, the sleeve is sewn together;
11. Take the pattern of the back of the sun in your hands and apply it from the side of the lining. A hole is made for stuffing the toy with synthetic filler (Fig. 12);
12. The filler is filled into the internal space (Fig. 13). It is recommended to use tweezers. Finally, the hole is sewn up manually with a blind seam;
13. A sleeve is sewn on the back side of the product. The round neckline needs to be tightened with any thick thread (Fig. 14). Then the sleeve is sewn on the wrong side. It is advisable to stitch the line manually;
14. In Fig. 15 shows the resulting product: a sun with handles, a sleeve on the arm. The main stage is over;
15. The decorating process begins. Make your own rays for the sun. The yarn is taken and wound onto any suitable object with a length of 16 cm. On the right side (or on the left), the wound yarn is cut (Fig. 16);
16. The yarn is laid out on paper (length from one handle along an arc to the other) and a machine stitch simply runs along it (Fig. 17). The paper is separated, torn off;
17. The resulting rays are glued to Moment glue. Later, after the glue has dried, they are sewn on manually with thread for reliability (Fig. 18). Similar actions should be carried out with the rays of the lower half of the sun;
18. Now the rays are braided into braids (Fig. 19). The braid at the bottom is tied with a string to prevent unraveling;
19. The face is decorated. To make the sun's nose, a round piece of fabric is cut out of fleece. It is hand stitched along the edges and the thread is tightened to create the shape of a bag. A synthetic filler is stuffed inside the nose (Fig. 20). The resulting nose is sewn to the sun;
20. Toy eyes are glued on. The shape of the mouth and eyebrows is embroidered by hand (Fig. 21). A decoration (for example, a fungus) is sewn onto the sunny palm. It should be connected with threads to the front fabric, not to the back. The toy can be decorated with a button in the shape of a ladybug. A felt daisy is constructed on one of the upper rays. This fabric is very dense in properties, holds its shape well and will not wrinkle spontaneously. Chamomile petals can be joined together with a seam by hand, or glued with glue. The yellow circle is glued last on top;
21. The ribbon for decoration is divided according to the number of braids. The edges are burned with a candle flame. All ribbons are tied to the braids of the sun;
22. Using regular blush or a red pencil, draw rosy cheeks on the sun.
That's it, the wonderful magic sun with your own hands is ready!

That's it, the wonderful magic sun with your own hands is ready!
For children. One of the varieties of origami is modular. It involves manufacturing using separate modules folded from paper. This is exactly what the sun is, the stages of its creation are shown in our master class.
To make it you will need square sheets of paper. You can use one color or several. We took red, yellow and orange. 
Fold one of the sheets along two diagonals. 
Then we bend each of its corners towards the center. 
We make folds on both sides towards the center line so that the workpiece takes on the shape of a diamond. 
Let's turn it over to the other side and bend the top corner. 
Now all that remains is to fold the blank of the future ray in half lengthwise. 
You need to make several of the same modules from paper of a different color. 
Next, we begin to collect our sun. To do this, insert the lower edge of one of the blanks into the lower part of the other blank from the opposite side. You can assemble the modules in any color order you like.
We are gradually continuing to work on connecting the modules. Our sun is beginning to take on the appearance of a circle. 
We close all the rays into a circle when we see that we have an even inner circle. As a result, our sun is ready.
