If your young inventor is interested intechnology and at the present stage he likes cyborg, then, most likely, he already wondered how to make a robot out of paper. This article will help organize a fun creative workshop with your child to create cyborg of various designs.
In order to sort out how out of paperto make a robot of the first model, you need to prepare: a paper cylinder (you can take a tube from a used paper towel), a strip of thick solid paper 2 cm x 10 cm in size, two cups cut from egg packaging, glue, brushes, green and silver paint . Yes! Still need a four or five year old assistant.
From egg packaging in different ways is necessarycut off two cups: the first one is to cut along the very edge of the convex part. It will serve as a headgear for the robot. The second - along with the "blades", rectangular parts adjacent to the convexity. These will be cyborg legs.
Так как из бумаги сделать робота ребенок может и himself (the model is simple to perform), the duties of an adult should include assistance in work planning and safety engineering. To cut two slots from two opposite sides of the paper cylinder (approximately in the middle) should be an adult. The little master can cut a paper strip in half. Then you need to spread the edges of the two halves with glue and insert them into the slits of the cylinder. These are the hands of a robot. While the glue dries, you can glue the trimmed egg cup to the top of the cylinder, and put the cup with the “blades” in the lower part so that they look out from under it from the side where the robot has a face.
Waiting for the billet to dry, body and handsCyborg can be painted with green paint, and the head and legs - silver. Now give the assistant a black marker, let him draw the robot face, buttons and control displays. Hooray! The first model is ready!
In order to understand how to make paperrobot second model, you must be proficient in technology origami. You need to be able to add basic shapes, for example, a paper cube. It is not very difficult. It is necessary to prepare multi-colored paper of different sizes and plan your work to know which combinations of modules will be the head of the robot, how many modules are needed for the body, arms and legs, and what size they will be. This requires experience.
For starters, it's best to fold the simplest robot.from paper cubes of different sizes, learn how to connect parts, and draw a face with markers or felt-tip pens. In due course it will be possible to create a robot of a rather complex construction, which will be a work of art. Everyone can master the technique, because origami is accessible to all. Being engaged in a child with this fascinating technique, one can develop his attentiveness, accuracy and spatial thinking. It is important to always have a supply of colored paper in the house. Robots, cars, paper airplanes will become the favorite toys of the young mischievous. And their production well develops fine motor skills of both hands. This, in turn, will accelerate the development of speech preschooler. It makes sense to bring such classes in the course of preparing for school. All skills associated with the development of origami, will be useful in life not only small, but every adult. After all, this activity also calms the nerves.
