Very soon a significant date will come for the entire population of the CIS countries and the whole world. This day marks the victory in Nazi Germany, which surrendered in 1945.
On the eve of this day, contests are announced in kindergartens and schools for the creation of thematic crafts that help in the patriotic education of the younger generation, as well as develop fine motor skills of the hands.
In addition, such a pastime perfectly brings parents and children closer together, develops the child's creative thinking. Let's consider how to make a craft for May 9 in different ways.
Paper technology
The simplest and most obvious option is to make armored vehicles out of paper. To make the craft as canonical as possible, it is recommended to use photographs of real tanks used during the Great Patriotic War as a prototype.
It is not difficult to make such a craft, you just need to prepare all the necessary materials in advance. You will need scissors, colored paper, glue, a pencil, markers, pens and pencils for coloring. It will be a very beautiful hand-made article for May 9, and it will also be as historical as possible.
Housing
Initially, you need to make a body, for these purposes, a square sweep is cut out of paper, which then needs to be carefully assembled. It will serve as the base for the body, to give it a more realistic look, you need to cut out a place for the tracks on the sides.
Having previously drawn arcs with a pencil, you need to carefully cut through the grooves.
Next, you need to make a hole in the upper part of the body, exactly in the middle, so that the tower, subsequently, has the ability to rotate 360 degrees.
Tower
- To create a tower, you can also cut out the unfolding of a square, but it would be best if one of the sides of the tower is slightly sloping downward, this is more realistic.
- After assembly, a small cylinder must be glued to the bottom of the tower, which will be inserted into a pre-made hole in the body.
- This connection will be strong enough, and will also allow the tower to rotate.
- Next, you need to make a cannon on the tower.
This is one of the simplest steps, you just need to twist a paper tube of the required diameter and glue it to the tower from the front. Such an impromptu craft for May 9 to school will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Tracks
Making track links is too difficult, but you can go for a little trick.
- The tracks themselves are made motionless from paper and carefully glued into the tank hull.
- Then, in the lower part of the case, you need to make 2 rectangular holes in the front and back, place the axle inside and put small wheels from the toy car.
- The wheels must be placed at such a depth that they cannot be seen from behind the tracks.
- Thus, the tank will be able to fully ride, which makes the craft a full-fledged toy.
You can collect such a craft for May 9 in kindergarten in just half an hour, if you have all the materials necessary to create the figurine at hand.
Origami star
The Japanese art of origami is prized for its simplicity and ability to create amazing things out of slips of paper. Using the origami technique to create a three-dimensional star is much easier than it might seem at first glance.
The easiest way is a modular design, consisting of several identical modules.
- In the case of a star, the role of modules will be played by 5 triangles of the same size and shape.They need to be positioned so that they form a star, and then carefully glue them together. Note that the core of the star must be filled, so the triangles must be large.
- To further decorate the star, you need to cut out the branches of the plants that frame the star in the original. The star itself should be red, while the branches of the plants should be golden. If desired, all this can be placed on a translucent wire stand, and the inscription "May 9" can be added below.
Such a craft by May 9 with their own hands will look very original against the background of others within the framework of the thematic competition, and children will be allowed to learn several new elements in the origami technique.
Exposition of places
In the photo of crafts on May 9, you can see that some take the issue of creating crafts very seriously, using photographs of places where hostilities were fought as a prototype. As a rule, these are destroyed buildings, several pieces of equipment in narrow streets and detachments of soldiers on both sides of the front.
Such a craft requires very great skills in working with materials, as well as a good knowledge of history, because the more the exposition resembles a photograph and real events, the better.
To give the work the most realistic look, materials such as are used:
- Paper
- Wood
- Cotton wool
- Branches
- Leaves
- Paints
- Plastic
- Figures of soldiers and armored vehicles
- Freezing compounds (to simulate rivers)
Progress:

- He is perfectly able to decorate a small historical corner; above the exposition, you can hang a brief information about the events depicted, give statistics on the results of a particular battle.
- For children's educational institutions, such work is too difficult, children cannot cope without the help of their parents, which makes this type of crafts unique, capable of uniting a family.
Children's crafts for May 9 do not have to be voluminous and large, they can be flat and small, for example, you can create a miniature badge or magnet, which can then be hung on the refrigerator.
If a specific direction and acceptable materials are not indicated in the conditions of the competition, then you can completely rely on your own imagination, creating a unique creation, revealing the creative potential of the child.
In this case, parents should not interfere in the process of work, the child must himself determine what exactly he wants to do and find ways to achieve what he wants.
