But the most positive heroes of the circus arena are clowns. They make babies laugh and never cry, and you can meet them not only in the circus, but also at a children's party.

Such a picture will look great on the door, on the wall, as a board for notes, announcements and school timetables.For work, choose ready-made coloring pictures, print on a printer in the desired size.

For the application you need a regular color and corrugated paper, thread, scissors and glue. For torso fit round, oval and rectangular shape. Use foamiran to make a three-dimensional pencil figure.

As a basis, take improvised cylindrical objects: a jar, a cardboard roll from a paper towel, thick paper folded like an accordion. Draw bright clothes for the clown acrylic paints, glue a plastic ball-head with eyes, a smile and a red nose, add filament hair and a cap with a pom-pom, a puffy collar or bow on the neck.

Funny heroes to decorate the holiday will turn out if you put the ball on a wooden skewer. Your clown can look out of a magician's hat: inside the hat there is a tin for rigidity, the material for crafts is foamiran.

Place a paper figure inside a cardboard ring (a tape ring will do), the clown will perform dizzying tricks. An appliqué made of multi-colored palms-modules looks unusual, the entire children's team literally "had a hand" in the creation of such a masterpiece!

If you know how to work with fabric, sew a simple bag with felt or fleece appliqué. This bag is perfect for a gift and going to a festive event.

You can even turn an ordinary plastic bag-shirt into the original packaging. Required for work colored paper, scissors, synthetic (not hot!) glue and some circus magic!

If a child wants to be dressed up for a holiday, it is not necessary to buy expensive carnival costume. After all, on next year the child will grow out of it, and will he want to be in the same outfit again? Therefore, you can make a mask out of paper, and pick up bright and elegant clothes.

To make this clown mask, you will need:

Cardboard light gray color landscape format;
colored cardboard;
a set of colored paper;
glue;
scissors;
simple pencil;
markers.
First, on a sheet of cardboard with a simple pencil, outline the outline of the future face of the clown. Draw his eyes, nose and mouth.

Make slits for the eyes.

Circle the shape of the nose with a felt-tip pen and carefully cut along the drawn line.

Cut out a strip for your teeth from white paper. Glue.

From yellow paper, make two strips for the eyebrows. On one side, make cuts, not reaching the opposite edge by 0.5 cm.

Glue on the eyebrows, draw the stripes of the teeth and outline the mouth.

From paper Pink colour cut out two circles.

These will be the cheeks. Glue them on.
Draw mimic wrinkles with a simple pencil.

Make a cut in place of the mouth.

If you have red cardboard, then you can immediately cut the hat out of it. But if you don’t have one, then you must first make a hat out of cardboard, and then stick colored paper on it.
To make a pom-pom hat, take a sheet of cardboard and determine where the clown's hat will be. Draw it with a pencil.

Cut out the places indicated by the arrows.

Cut the bottom of the hat so that it goes over the clown's forehead, and you have enough space for gluing the parts.
Try it on, but don't glue it on yet.

Lay the hat blank on red paper, make a markup.

Spread glue on the workpiece and glue it to colored paper. Cut along the outline.

For pompoms, cut out circles from colored cardboard, circling, for example, a cap from a plastic bottle.

The circles should be twice as many as the protrusions on the cap.
Spread glue on one circle, attach one of the cones of the cap to it and bury it with another circle, which you must also smear with glue.

So glue all the pompoms.

To make hair, cut a long strip 4 cm wide from yellow paper. Make a fringe on it along the entire length, without cutting 1 cm to the opposite edge, and make small notches on the opposite side so that the strip fits better along the contour.

Glue the edge of the uncut strip along the entire length with glue and glue it to the inside of the cap. "Hair" comb up.

Try on the clown again and carefully glue the hat.

For the collar, take a sheet of cardboard and attach it as shown in the photo.
With a pencil, draw the contours of the two parts of the collar.

Choose the color as you wish. Draw a pencil around the bottom of the face on a sheet of cardboard. Lubricate the top of the collar blank with glue and place the almost finished mask on it strictly up to the line.

Glue multi-colored circles on the collar.
So that the eye sockets do not seem empty, take a small sheet of light green or blue paper, make round holes, having previously measured the distance between the centers of the child's pupils.

And glue the strip on the wrong side of the mask. Draw small eyelashes.
To prevent the mask from moving off the face, it must be fixed on the rims. Cut two long strips of cardboard. On one of them, connect the ends so that it matches the volume of the child's head. And glue the second strip on top, making it like a hat.

Glue the mask to the strip so that it fits well on the head. You can also glue thin elastic bands on the sides of the mask.

And the final touch. If you want the clown to have painted lips, cut out a mouth from red paper, as shown in the photo, and glue it on. And place the red circle on the tip of the buffoon's nose.
The clown mask is ready!

What kid doesn't love the circus? Circus artists delight children with their skill, strength and dexterity, but the clown is the most popular among children. Therefore, a do-it-yourself clown craft made from will surely arouse the interest of children of any age.

The easiest way is to make a clown craft from, which fixes the shape well.

Usually soft paper sheets have this quality. This craft is enlivened by the use of factory-made eyes and a spout designed to create toys, beads and a small piece from which the mouth is made.

First of all, a colored paper sheet is folded into a neat accordion. The smallest craftsmen will need help to cope with this task.

Then one edge of this accordion is gathered together and glued. It looks like a paper fan.

Beads are glued in the center of this "fan" - like buttons on a clown costume.

Now a small oval (corresponding to the size of the “fan”) is cut out of a white cardboard sheet - this will be the face of a clown. We immediately stick eyes on it.

Two sausages roll from red plasticine, which we fold in the shape of lips. Lips are glued to the face.

Glue a red round nose between the lips and eyes. We've almost got a clown! Crafts for children at this stage usually become even more interesting.

We support children's interest - we make an impromptu clown wig from straw or orange yarn. We fix it on the clown's head with glue.

Glue the head to the accordion body.

We take two bright paper ribbons and also fold them in the shape of an accordion. Glue to the body on both sides. Handles are obtained.

We cut out a cap from cardboard, decorate it with a painted edging and a pompom.

You can use a ready-made fluffy pompom - you get a very beautiful headdress. Glue it on the head.

Before us lies a real, cheerful, cheerful clown! The craft seems to be alive, because both the handles and the eyes move when moving. It is very interesting to play various games with such a clown.
