Teddy Bear

I present to your attention a step-by-step process for making a moving paper toy “Teddy Bear”. The master class will be useful for primary school teachers, kindergarten teachers, and young parents who have a small child. The baby will find it interesting because the toy’s legs move with the help of a thread.
In addition, mothers and fathers can make such toys themselves and introduce their children to wild and domestic animals in a playful way. Also, older children, following step by step and relying on photographic material, can make a bear cub with their own hands and give it to their younger friends.

For manufacturing you will need the following material:
- sheets of colored paper in blue, red and orange;
- white cardboard (1 sheet);
- PVA glue or pencil;
- scissors;
- a coil of wire with a diameter of 0.45 mm;
- a simple pencil;
- awl;
- a stand for making holes with an awl in the places where the parts of the teddy bear are attached;
- spool of thread;
- a black thin marker for drawing the eyes and nose of the teddy bear (can be replaced with black paper);
- template of a toy - a teddy bear: the base of the toy, the back and front legs (elements of movement), 12 washers.

Description of work
Step #1.Using a pre-prepared teddy bear template, you need to cut out “clothes” from colored paper to make the toy bright.
To do this, mark out the decoration elements for the teddy bear on colored paper. From orange paper - a teddy bear's nose, a blouse (upper body), from blue paper - a tie and panties (lower body).

Step No. 2. Now we cut out all the parts with scissors.

Step No. 3. Using a glue stick, glue the orange parts onto the teddy bear (nose, blouse).

Step No. 4. Then glue the blue parts in the same way: pants, tie, draw the eyes with a black marker and outline the outline of the nose.

Step No. 5. Take an awl and a stand to make holes in the parts - the legs of the toy and on the main part of the teddy bear.

Step No. 6. Take a spool of thread and cut 4 parts from it, each up to 20 cm, then fold it in half (for strength). We pass it through the upper holes into the bear's paws and tie it with a knot.

Step No. 7. To fasten the parts we will need wire, scissors and an awl.

Step No. 8. You need to cut a piece of wire about 10 cm. Then thread it like this: washer, main part (body), washer, foot, washer. We twist the ends of the wire with a spring using an awl.

Step No. 9. We managed to attach the upper and lower legs to the body in this way.

Step No. 10. On the back side of the toy we tie together the threads of the upper and lower legs. We cut off the excess threads.

Step No. 11. Now you need to connect with a thread the upper fastening of the thread, which connects the front paws, with the lower fastening of the thread, which connects the hind legs of the bear cub, in order to make movements using it, pulling it down.
