Schoolchildren work with paper during labor training lessons.
Children in the 4th grade already have sufficient skills and abilities to make crafts of high quality and interesting. Hand motor skills are well developed, so they are excellent with scissors, can draw a drawing of a craft, assemble it from parts and a variety of additional materials. Children of this age are good at imagining, able to plan the progress of work on a task, analyze a sample, and understand the structure of an object. In this article we will look at how to make a hut out of paper. In 4th grade with children, such a lesson can be planned by doing preliminary work. Students need to be told about the history of Ancient Rus', shown pictures of what kind of houses were built in the villages, and from what material. These were mainly log houses made of thick logs. Larch was valued, the huts from which lasted for hundreds of years.
Then the teacher must tell the 4th grade students how to make a paper hut in different ways. This could be a simple flat applique made from strips of paper, a craft made from newspaper or magazine tubes, or a three-dimensional house based on a pattern. There are a lot of ways to make a village hut craft. Let us introduce the reader to some of them.
Origami house with a pipe: making the work more difficult
The beginning of creating a house is identical to the previous one, but after that you will have to tinker with the pipe, because of which this option will be a little difficult for children. But after all, children are all different, as are their age characteristics, perhaps for some this method will be absolutely understandable and easy.
Prepare single-sided square-shaped paper.
Fold it in half. Open and fold in half, connecting the other two sides.
You will get intersecting folds.
Fold the top to the fold.
Turn over to the other side and fold the sides to the fold in the center.
Now point the top corners down.
Let's start making a pipe. Straighten the left corner.
Open it from the inside and pull it down, redirecting the outer fold inward.
Then straighten the same part upward.
Open it slightly from the inside. The result is a corner, move its right side to the left, simultaneously pressing the corner down. It is difficult to describe this action, you just need to try it and by looking at the photo you will understand the process. The pipe is ready.
Fold the bottom of the house up, aligning the edges with the bottom of the roof. But there may be options here: you can bend it less and it will be a rectangular long house, or a square one.
Turn it over, draw windows, a door. The origami house is ready.
These are the kind of houses you can make with children; they can easily handle the first two on their own, but they may need help working on the third.
Sometimes for children's games you need to do something additional with your own hands. If your child needs a paper house to create a city or village, you can use this master class, where we show the process of making such a craft.
Here are several options - how to make a paper house with your own hands with step-by-step unique photographs. This paper house is easy and simple to make with your children, and it will be a pleasant and useful way to spend time. The child will receive a good dose of parental attention, new knowledge, development of finger motor skills and a new toy. And parents often benefit from such a distracting activity. How to make a symbol of the new year 2020 - a rat with your own hands, see here.
Hut according to pattern
Before making a hut out of paper in a 4th grade lesson, students must be able to correctly draw a pattern for a craft. To do this, you will need a teacher's sample, a simple pencil and a ruler, as well as a large sheet of thick A-3 paper.
Children carefully examine the sample and redraw it using their own measurements, depending on the size of the future structure. When everything is drawn, straight folds of paper are made along the dotted lines and additional strips are smeared with PVA glue to connect the parts of the craft together. When the structure is assembled, you need to attach small parts. To do this, you need to take a closer look at the Russian hut.
Origami house step by step: 1 easiest option
For origami you will need a square piece of paper, colored on both sides.
Fold the paper in half, with this action we will mark the middle of the square.
Fold the right side over, lining it up with the fold in the center.
Do the same manipulations with the left one.
Now fold the created part in half to make a fold in the center.
Open and fold the top side inward, aligning it with the fold in the center.
Fold the bottom of the paper up, also determining the height along the central fold.
Put everything back, since the goal of the previous steps was to create the folds we need.
Now you need to make the roof, I show detailed steps for this. Open the top of the paper slightly. Here you can see the first fold from above.
Continue pushing the corners of the roof out to the sides, making the fold at the top line of the roof. It may not be very clear at first, practice and you will understand how simple it really is. The main thing is to understand the principle of this action.
Details of the hut
You already know how to make a model of a Russian hut. But to make the house look like a village hut (log house), you need to add decorative design to the craft. Since the house consists of logs, stepping back a little from the corners, stick small circles in one row. These will be the end parts of the logs, called releases.
Applique windows with carved frames and shutters on each wall. Under the triangular roof, attach a carved cornice on the last log. On the roof along the slopes, craftsmen attached carved piers, and in the center of the roof, at the junction of the sloping sides, they inserted a carved towel. It could only go down, onto the forehead of the house, but it could also go up, ending with a cockerel carved out of wood. All details are drawn separately on colored paper and cut out along the contours, and then glued in the right places of the house.
Craft made from corrugated cardboard
Using the drawn pattern, you can make a beautiful and durable hut in a labor lesson. It can be assembled by drawing a whole layout, as in the previous sample, or you can draw each wall separately and cut out all four planes with scissors, giving the house an original fairy-tale shape with decreasing size downwards.
Everything comes together using PVA. To apply glue, you need to leave a thin additional strip on each side and bend it inward. All that remains is to cover the house with colored paper and attach decorative elements.
Folding paper umbrella
To make a folding umbrella, you need to make a dome, as in the previous MK. Scheme:
To create a closing element you need to follow the instructions.
- Start making an umbrella dome from a square blank.
- When you get a shape that looks like an airplane, cut off the corners and make cuts 4.5 cm from the edge of the triangle.
- Unfold the workpiece and redirect the folds so that they take the correct shape.
- Cut off the tops in the green and yellow domes.
- Align the pieces so that the tops point in different directions.
- Glue the products together carefully.
- Make a handle from a skewer and paper and insert it into the workpiece.
- Now the umbrella can close if the parts are brought closer, and open if they are moved apart.

Decorating a house with wooden plates
Knowing how to make a hut out of cardboard, you can decorate it in different ways. One of the easiest ways to decorate is to work with popsicle sticks. Over the summer, collect a lot of these items and put them aside to decorate crafts for school.
It’s easy to turn a cardboard house into a wooden log house; you just need to cover each side of the hut with sticks rounded at the end. If necessary, they can be cut into pieces of the desired length, but there should only be rounded pieces at the end of each corner of the house.
The same procedure must be done for the roof of the house. For work, it is most convenient to use PVA glue, but with a thick consistency. To make the fastenings secure, you can use a glue gun. After pasting, the house can be covered with stain and opened with acrylic varnish.
Making a log mask
To repaint logs white, you first need to remove all the tape on the outside of the log. You can use your hands to mix the plaster, just be sure to remove your jewelry first.
Then we start playing with mixing the plaster and plaster until you get a fine paste. Presumably we can say that you need to mix one part of water with two parts of gypsum. We started with this ratio and added more plaster to create a thin paste similar to the consistency of runny oatmeal.
Using your fingers, spread the plaster onto the log (in the direction of the ribs of the corrugated cardboard). There is no need to be afraid of going overboard; you can add as much or as little texture as you think is more believable and beautiful.
How to make newspaper tubes
Let's look at another popular way to make a hut with your own hands. Recently, newspaper tubes have been used in many crafts. This is a cheap and easily accessible material for creativity. They are easy to make.
Cut each page of a newspaper or any other printed publication separately, prepare PVA glue and a brush. To roll paper into rolls, it is convenient to use a wooden skewer or knitting needle.
The sheet is laid out on the table surface with an angle towards the master. Place the knitting needle on the edge and begin winding it into a tight tube. The edge of the newspaper is glued to the last turn. When many of these elements have been made, you can begin assembling the house.
Easy craft option
This craft can be done in one lesson, without prior preparation. The tubes are immediately rolled out from simple white A-4 sheets for the printer. To make them resemble birch logs, small strokes of black gouache are painted on them with a brush.
They assemble the craft by placing the logs in pairs, first horizontally and then vertically. At the end, the roof is strengthened, which is made by bending colored cardboard in half. On the sides you can glue the door and windows made of paper.
Applique of a house made of paper tubes
You can glue together a dense house from prepared tubes, placing the elements in one sheet, one above the other. PVA glue is applied along the entire length of the tube. The upper part is lightly pressed down by hand.
To make a hole for the door, the tubes are cut into short lengths with scissors. Windows are made in the same way. To form a sloping roof, the sticks are cut at an angle, each subsequent one being made smaller than the previous one.
It is more convenient to first cover the roof with a sheet of cardboard, and then stick strips of colored paper cut into “noodles” on top. Start work from the bottom of each side of the roof. Each subsequent layer slightly overlaps the previous one, imitating the thatched roof of ancient huts. At the top of the joint, stick a wide strip of paper to give the roof a finished look.
The article shows how to make a hut out of paper in the 4th grade, and what materials children of this age can use to decorate the craft. The presented layouts and samples will help schoolchildren to express themselves in class and get a good mark for the work done.
DIY fairy-tale New Year's houses made of paper
A simple and cute classic house. To create it, use the template. The photo shows a template of the house and roof.
Print the template and cut out the blank from colored cardboard. Make neat window slits. This step is probably the most difficult, especially if the house is small. It is convenient to cut out small windows with nail scissors.
Make the necessary folds: on the side to glue the house and on top, where the roof will be attached. You also need transverse folds after each square part of the house.
Apply glue to the side and glue the house together.
Cut out a rectangle from colored cardboard and fold it in half, this will be the roof.
Glue the roof in the designated areas at the top of the house.
The winter house made of paper is almost ready, all that remains is to cut out the doors from cardboard, draw tiles on the roof, and paste them with any winter decor. I liked the snowflakes, they look interesting and wintery. I made them using a shaped composter, and for a larger house you can cut out a variety of beautiful snowflakes, there are plenty of templates for them on the Internet.
This option is the simplest, despite the apparent complexity of the roof. But making such a house is very easy and quick.
Print out the house template and cut out the blank from colored cardboard.
In the photo of the template, the fold lines are marked with dotted lines.
Bend them to one side. That is, folds are needed after each square, on the side and in the roof area. On the roof you need to do this carefully and carefully so that even triangles are formed when folded. To do this, you can use a ruler, a protractor, or a plastic card.
Glue the side of the house.
And then a long, pointed roof.
Then everything is simple, because you don’t need to cut out the windows. Cut rectangles out of yellow colored paper, draw cross lines on them and glue the resulting windows. Cut out the doors, paint the roof. Decorate the house with any decor - snowflakes, beads, sequins.
You don't even need a template for this house, it's so simple.
Cut a strip of colored cardboard and glue the edges together to make a tube. Width and height do not play a special role, everything is at your own discretion.
Cut a circle out of cardboard so that it is a couple of centimeters larger than the circumference of the tube and cut it in half.
Glue it into a cone, which will be the roof of the house.
The roof can be decorated with tiles. To do this you will need circles of colored cardboard. Their size is not so significant, but you need to remember that with small circles there is a little more work.
Glue the circles onto the roof, starting from the bottom.
The roof can be plain, striped, like mine, or even variegated, if you alternate the colors of the circles in each tier.
Apply glue (it’s better to use PVA for this) on the rounded edge of the tube and glue the roof. Cut out paper and glue a round window and doors, decorate with decorations and your fairy-tale paper house is ready.
This is how the New Year's houses made of paper turned out, bright, childish, fabulously Christmas-like.
Master classes: New Year's village, where there is a house made of paper tubes, Christmas trees made of paper and a snowman. We also make a Christmas tree house toy))

An origami house with detailed photo instructions and three options, from the simplest to the slightly complex for children. There are many different schemes for how to make an origami house, I chose these 3, in my opinion, the most ideal for children.
Materials:

Finished logs
Allow the plaster to set for at least a couple of hours, but it is best to leave the logs alone for a day.
Now you can decorate our fireplace with logs, pick up a mug of hot cider and a good book, and feel the warmth, and also visually adjust the musical accompaniment to the crackling of logs in the fire. After all, the main thing is the aura surrounding us, and not the physical presence of this or that object in the room.
By the way, here is an excellent visual accompaniment for you, three whole hours of burning wood in the fireplace. With sound and excellent quality.

How to make an origami house: 2 easy ways
To work, you need single-sided square-shaped paper or special paper for origami. One side is colored and the other is white. Size is absolutely not important. It all depends on personal wishes.
Place the paper in front of you.
Fold it in half, the color should be on the outside. Then double it again, but this time connecting the other two sides.
Open the paper, there should be two intersecting folds in the middle.
Fold the top side to a horizontal fold.
Turn over to the other side, aligning the right side with the vertical fold in the center.
Point the top corners down.
Turn over to the other side. Make a small fold upward from the bottom.
Now open it.
Redirect the folded corners inward. Fold the resulting trapezoidal part up again. Due to the fact that the paper is one-sided, we ended up with doors on the bottom.
All that remains is to draw the windows for the complete set of the house.
