Today manufacturers offer great amount toys for children's world. Basically they are all foreign, fantastic and fairy-tale heroes. Monsters and trolls appeared, plants came to life, cars began to talk. But when the question arises of how to draw toys, sketches from the children’s program “ Good night, kids! A doll with a favorite ball, a pyramid, a teddy bear, a crib with feather pillows, a wooden rocking horse and other Soviet products. Let's remember how to draw toys from childhood.
bear
Everyone, young and old, loves a teddy bear. The baby falls asleep with it, the girl holds it touchingly in her hands, hoping for a miracle, it sits on the grandmother’s shelf and waits for her grandchildren. And they are all so different and cute. Let's look at how to draw a toy with a pencil step by step. Take a white sheet of paper and visually divide it horizontally into two parts. The middle is the approximate line of connection between the head and the body. On the bottom half of the sheet, draw a plump oval with a pencil - this is the body of the toy. Draw a round head to the upper part of the body, slightly overlapping it. Swipe through sketch vertical line, dividing the toy into two symmetrical parts. The bear cub's paws are slightly elongated. Sketch out the upper and lower limbs, covering part of the torso at the junction. The toy's paws should be spread apart as if he wants to hug you. Clumsiness in the drawing is encouraged, it will give the toy realism.Focusing on the midline of the head, draw a round muzzle. Next, draw circles on the top of the head - these are the ears of the clubfoot. And also for the lower limbs, draw the feet in the form of two ovals.
Drawing details
We have a sketch of the bear ready, let's move on to the details and the final stage. Find a symmetrical arrangement of the eyes and draw them. Create a nose on the muzzle. Don't forget about the toes and palms of the upper limbs. At the end of the work, erase unnecessary features and lines with an eraser, correct the face by adding a smile and eyebrows. And so that our little bear doesn’t get bored, let’s look at how to draw toys around him.
Pyramid
On the left side of the teddy bear, you can draw a children's wooden pyramid. Let's remember what it is. This cone-shaped toy consists of multi-colored rings that are placed on the axle in order from largest to smallest ring. The top of the pyramid is covered with a top. Start drawing by drawing a vertical axis, noting the height of the toy. Then draw the base itself big ring perpendicular to the axis. Connect the edges of the base to the top - you should get a tall triangle with identical bottom corners. Next, at an equal distance from each other, mark the location of the rings on the axis with thin strokes. After that, draw the details. The elements will become smaller towards the top; decorate the top of the cone with a candle-shaped nozzle. Here we looked at how to draw a toy step by step.
To the right of the bear we will draw a ball.It's very easy to draw. The base of the toy is a circle. You can use a compass or circle something round. Divide it visually into four parts and draw a small oval in the upper right corner, indicating the middle of the ball. Next, from the small oval, we draw the stripes closest to us, those far away, and parts of those stripes that go beyond the ball from the field of view. Then, using pencils, we paint over the pattern on the ball one by one.
From this article we learned how to draw toys for children. The same ones that were so loved in childhood. After all, love for one's neighbor and animals is born in an embrace with a teddy bear, and motor skills and knowledge of the world are born in assembling a pyramid. The ball implies physical development child.
Decorating the Christmas tree is one of the most touching moments in preparation for the New Year. Nowadays, toys are most often bought in stores, but sometimes you want to create magic with your own hands. For example, you can figure out how to draw Christmas tree toy. Then you can cut it out and hang it on the Christmas tree or just admire the beautiful picture.
Christmas ball with a bow - draw a decoration for the Christmas tree
A classic decoration for a Christmas tree is a ball - shiny, bright, attached to the top. Using such a ball as an example, we will figure out how to draw a Christmas tree toy step by step.
First, let's make a sketch - draw a neat ball, a fastener with a ring and a bow made of ribbon. The lines should be smooth, clear, without jagged edges.
Then draw the outline with a black marker or felt-tip pen. This must be done very carefully. It is better to erase the pencil first.
Now we need to color everything. The ball will be green and the bow will be bright red. Of course, it is not necessary to paint the figures exactly in these colors; you can show your imagination and come up with something of your own.
Two Christmas tree toys of different shapes
Although Christmas balls are the most popular, there are, of course, other options. For comparison, we will depict two options different shapes— at the same time we’ll learn how to draw a Christmas tree decoration with a pencil.
Let's start with the fastening - it will be elongated with a wavy bottom edge.
Then we will draw a circle from below with an elongated shape in the middle - this place will be a highlight in the future. And don’t forget about the loop with which the structure will be attached to the Christmas tree.
Next we will depict another decoration - an elongated, tapering shape. In some ways it will look like a fir cone.
Let's color our drawing. Let's make the ball red, the elongated object green. Just don't paint over the highlights - they should remain white. Let's make the fastenings golden in color.
Now the drawing is ready - Christmas mood you're guaranteed.
Toy on a fir branch - learning to draw
If you want to depict a Christmas tree decoration “in action,” then it is better to depict it directly on the branch. This is easy to do - you can see this if you decide to learn how to draw a Christmas tree toy for beginners.
First, let's draw a circle with a mount and a highlight.
Then - a loop and a hook. Let’s also shade the shadow part of the ball. The strokes should be clear, parallel to each other and following the shape of a circle.
We'll draw a thin spruce branch on top - it will bend a little under the weight of the decoration. We will make several curved lines on the sides of the decoration - they indicate that the ball is swaying from side to side. Or bounces up and down.
That's it, the picture is completed - you can safely put it in a frame and hang it on the wall. If you wish, you can color it - make the branch dark green, and the ball any bright shade. Snowball on background It won’t hurt either - this way the winter magic will be revealed to you to the fullest.
A cheerful drum, a bright pyramid, a magic carriage, a terrifying dinosaur, a teddy bear and many others await you! Toys are needed not only to occupy free time. Properly selected gaming material can become a means of successful development of a child, developing important social and behavioral skills,
development of speech, motor and physical activity. Using children's close familiarity with toys, you can conduct various educational and developmental activities on this topic.
For example, you can organize a simple speech development lesson on the topic “Toys”. To do this, you will need pictures depicting the most common play activity objects, and, if possible, the objects themselves. If the lesson is held in kindergarten, toys are usually not difficult to assemble.
First, we try to remember all the familiar toys. Pictures for children, drawn in the most realistic way, will help with this. When listing objects, we name the actions that can be performed with them.
According to the above steps, we form several main groups of toys:
- construction - something from which you can build, design, create new objects;
- musical - those with the help of which we obtain various sounds;
- For role playing games– those that have their own role in the game (animals, dolls, soldiers, as well as various pieces of doll furniture, houses, etc.);
- sports – ball, tennis rackets, bicycle, scooter, etc.;
- transport - cars, trains, etc.
Children's thinking differs from that of adults, so when distributing objects into groups, children sometimes offer the most non-standard solutions.
Then you can go to detailed description toys. Usually children are happy to join in this process if they have to describe their favorite toy. To make the task easier, we leave a simple plan:
- describe the appearance;
- what can you do with this toy;
- why does the child like her?
After this work, you can move on to interesting game: One child must describe the toy without saying its name. The rest of the kids guess what they were talking about. With kids younger age You can change the rules a little: the adult describes it, but they guess. Whoever guesses correctly receives a card with a picture of this item, then the result is summed up - who has more cards.
You can ask a few simple riddles:
Very similar to you:
You have arms, legs - she has them too;
You have eyes - she has eyes;
Do you need any more tips? (doll)
If there’s a whole bunch of us, we’ll build up a whole yard. (cubes)
I am always ready to take off at a gallop - after all, that’s what children need... (ball)
Only a daredevil can assemble me by gathering all my rings onto a rod. (pyramid)
For me, falling is not a problem.
I will always rise with a smile. (tumbler)
In conclusion, we move on to the artistic part: we try to draw the toy that we liked or remembered best. Before drawing, we once again remember all the toys; Pictures for children will help with this.
We make sure to make an exhibition out of the drawings so that each child feels the significance of their work.
Watch the video on the topic “Exploring toys”:
Children often like to use pencils and markers paint more than paints. And when they draw with paints, they first draw the outline of the drawing on paper with a pencil, and only then color the drawing. So that the child is not afraid of paints, try to spend more time (start with gouache, as it is thick, and therefore does not flow and lays quite evenly even in several layers, unlike watercolors, which require fairly precise strokes, and each new layer creates there are dirty pellets on the paper). Teach your child to draw directly with a brush without drawing the outline of the drawing with a pencil.

I’ll tell you more about this now, you will learn how to draw a toy. Raising a child is not a science, it is an art. No less responsible than visual arts. There is no need to use different therapies, sessions, different techniques. Instead, attention and patience are required, nothing more. And for this you just need to give a soft, pleasant plush toy and your child will be delighted. About the soft plush friends:
- It may seem as if stuffed animals have always existed. Even in ancient times, funny stuffed animals were made.
- Smart people have created an interesting device - a bracelet called PINOKY. It is put on the doll's paw, or ear, or other visible part, and it begins to move randomly. Good way revive old toys rather than buy new and expensive ones.
