Twitch toys have been known since ancient times. These mechanical figures of people or animals, whose arms, legs or paws twitch funny thanks to a simple hinge mechanism, have always been especially loved by children.

Initially, twitchers were made of wood; in Rus' they were called “dancers.” Subsequently, the manufacturing technology was greatly simplified through the use of paper and cardboard. With the advent of color printing, twitch patterns drawn by artists began to be published in magazines, which made it possible to make colorful toys for everyone.

Well, the Internet has made the possibilities for creating a variety of twitches almost limitless. :) I invite you to use ready-made templates to make a mechanical toy from cardboard in the shape of the famous fairy tale hero- Puss in Boots. And at the end of the master class, another version of the twitch awaits you - the Monkey.

Master class: cardboard twitch toy “Puss in Boots”

Materials and tools:

— sheets of A4 size office paper (for printing templates);
— packaging micro-corrugated cardboard (1.5 mm thick) or cardboard for children's creativity;
- a sheet of thick white A4 paper;
- standard (stationery) knife;
- scissors;
- awl;
— paracord (4 mm in diameter) or other fasteners;
- nylon thread, narrow ribbon;
- glue stick;
— glue “Moment Crystal”;
- double sided tape.

So, we start by preparing the cardboard parts for the base of the twitch toy.

We print on office paper outline templates. We cut them out with small allowances.

We glue pieces of double-sided tape on the wrong side and glue the templates to the wrong side of the cardboard.

In this case, micro-corrugated cardboard with a thickness of 1.5 mm is used. But I want it right away to draw your attention: the contours of the parts here are quite curly, with small elements, so cutting out of micro-corrugated cardboard can be a little difficult if you’re not used to it. And here you can go two ways:

1. neglect small elements and smooth out the contours when cutting;

2. use thin cardboard (for example, cardboard for children's creativity; for greater rigidity, you can make it in 2 layers); In this case, the toy will also be quite functional; below you will see an example of such a design of the twitch.

Next, use a regular stationery knife to cut out the parts of the base. Immediately make holes for fastening. I used a punch with a diameter of 4 mm. If a punch is not available, you can cut holes with a knife or awl.

The diameter of the holes may differ from the original depending on what fasteners you use.

On thick white paper (on the front side) we print out the colored puss in boots templates. Cut it out.

Alternatively, you can color the cat with pencils or felt-tip pens together with your child. A special set of templates is provided for this.

Using a glue stick, glue the colored parts onto cardboard bases(on front side cardboard).

We fold our paws in pairs (on top of each other). And with an awl we pierce small through holes on the upper edges, as shown in the photo. These holes will be used to control the paws.

To attach the paws, white paracord with a diameter of 4 mm is used here. Cut 4 small pieces (the length is such that you can tie 2 knots).

We tie a tight knot at one end and melt the tip with a lighter. We pass the cord through the holes of the body and paws.

The paws should be located under the body.

This is just one of many mounting options. For movable fastening, you can use, for example, brads, buttons, wire, etc. - whatever you like best. The main thing is to make sure that the limbs of the twitching toy rotate freely in the same plane!

Let's proceed to the most important stage - creating the paw control mechanism. In fact, everything here is extremely simple. It is necessary to tie the paws in pairs with nylon thread through small holes. When the thread is taut, the limbs should be in a downward position.

Now we tie a long thread (can be folded in half) or a thin cord to the horizontal threads, both the top and the bottom, as shown in the photo.

We tie knots on the paracord from the wrong side of the toy. We check whether the paws rotate freely enough. We melt the ends of the cord.

Cut out 2 circles with a diameter of 2.5 cm from cardboard. If you use micro-corrugated cardboard, make a slot in the middle on the wrong side of one circle and place the end of the thread there.

Glue both circles with Moment Crystal glue.

Alternatively, instead of cardboard circles, you can attach a large bead - for convenience and beauty.

Glue a cardboard circle with a diameter of 3.5 cm to the head from the wrong side onto a loop of narrow ribbon.

The cardboard twitch toy is ready!

This is such a cheerful and lively cat in boots. The kids will be delighted! :)

A set of templates (contour, color and for coloring) for making the Puss in Boots twitch toy can be purchased at the Kartonkino store:

I already mentioned above that similar toys can be made from thin cardboard for children's creativity. These charming monkeys, created by, are made in just this way.

Note that the monkey on the right uses a tail, not a string, to control its paws. Or rather, there is a lace there too, it’s just glued between the halves of the tail. Very interesting option, agree.

And this is what the inside of the monkey looks like. Everything here is quite traditional.

The paws are attached here using brads. It looks very good, and the attachment process itself is simpler than with paracord. Don’t forget that when using brads, the holes need to be made smaller; just pierce them with an awl.

It is worth noting that the tail on the side was not the best solution - it interferes with the movement of the paw. But there is a choice: if you want, do it with a tail on the side, if you want, do it from below, or without a tail at all (not completely, of course, without a tail, it’s kind of in the background and just didn’t come into view).

Templates for the twitching toy “Monkey” can be downloaded here:

By the way, Anya Shidenko has many other interesting templates for making various products for children, as well as holiday accessories. You will find them by going to.

Well, now you know a simple and working way to make a twitch toy out of cardboard with your own hands. By analogy, you can even draw your own favorite character - some hero folk tale or a cartoon.

Or use ready-made templates. I have already shown you two versions of the toy. And you will find another one - Kitty - in the 9th issue of the electronic magazine "Masterklassnitsa".

We wish you pleasant creativity, fun and useful games with children!

Yours Inna Pyshkina and the Kartonkino team.
