Uncle Styopa the policeman: crafts for the little ones
Crafts on the theme of traffic rules are part of the developmental program for pupils of preschool institutions and primary school students. Knowing the rules of the road is the key to safety and health throughout a person’s life, and that is why the training program devotes a large amount of time to this issue. The crafts offered by the program during training are very different. These are traffic lights, zebra crossings and, of course, Uncle Styopa! Therefore, we decided to consider simple and understandable crafts “Uncle Styopa is a real policeman.”
How to make a craft “Uncle Styopa the policeman” from paper and cardboard
The easiest way to make a school craft is to make it out of cardboard.
For this we need:
- Colored paper and colored cardboard;
- Bite PVA, glue brush or glue stick;
- Black felt-tip pen;
- Scissors.
Having collected everything you need, we get to work.
- To begin, we make a tube of white cardboard with a diameter of about 6 centimeters (with a margin of 1 centimeter on each edge of the paper). Let the tube glue well so that the craft does not fall apart. This will be the basis for our Uncle Styopa;
- We cut out a rectangle of the same length from blue colored paper, but a quarter narrower. This will be our policeman's uniform;
- Carefully coat the colored paper on the inside so that the glue does not accumulate in spots and glue it to the first cylinder;
- We cut out a narrow strip from brown paper and glue it in the middle of the blue part of the body - this is a policeman’s belt;
- Uncle Styopa must have hands! To do this, we again take blue colored paper and cut out a strip from it (the width of a brown belt);
- Then, from white paper or cardboard, cut out two identical mitten palms and glue one on each side of the blue strip (along the edges). After this, glue the blue strip to Uncle Styopa’s back so that the middle of the strip is in the middle of the body of the craft;
- In order to make a cap, we need a circle of green cardboard, the diameter of which is equal to: (diameter of the white cylinder + 1 centimeter. We make cuts along the edges of the green circle and lift the “Petals” up. The inner circle should not wrinkle! We glue the petals along the edges to make "saucepan";
- We cut out a rectangular strip from green paper and glue it on top of the petals so that the cap looks smooth, cut out a black semicircle - the visor and glue it from the inside of the cap;
- After the cap has dried, we coat it with glue from the inside and put it on Uncle Styopa’s head;
- Cut out one small yellow oval, four yellow circles and one yellow square. We glue a small yellow oval onto the cap above the visor, glue four yellow circles in a row above the belt on the blue part of the craft (buttons), and glue a yellow square in the middle of the belt (buckle);
- To make a traffic controller’s baton, cut out a small white rectangle, draw 4 stripes on it with a black marker and glue them together with a tube. Glue it to Uncle Styopa's right hand;
- We cut out a small red triangle and glue it to the places of the mouth, eyes and nose and add a marker.
Doll made of nylon and plastic bottle
A plastic bottle is the basis for the doll, ensuring its stability.
- Nylon tights or flesh-colored stockings;
- flesh-colored or white threads;
- syndepon white; - sewing needle;
- plastic bottle;
- metal wire; - scissors, stationery knife;
- thick hair threads. Eyes. Fabric and decor for clothing.
- Cut off the bottom of the bottle using a utility knife. We wrap it with a layer of syndepon. Secure with tape or sew the edges. We put a stocking on the bottle so that the sock is on top.
- We form the front parts of the head, gradually adding the required amount of syndepon. A detailed description is in the section How to sew a head for a doll from nylon.
- When the base for the body and the head are ready, attach the eyes and sew on the hair.
- Let's make hands. We cut 12 pieces of wire 10 cm long. Take one piece and bend its edge into a ring. This will be a hand, and the ring is a kind of palm. Take five pieces of wire and fold them in half. These will be your fingers. We attach them to the ring, determining the height of the fingers so that it looks like a real hand.
- Wrap your hand and fingers with padding polyester. We form the thickness of the arm.
- We cover it with stocking fabric. We pull it between our fingers, stitching it with threads. The hand is ready. We do the second one in the same way. We sew the arms to the body. Thanks to the frame base, they can be bent.
- For a bottle doll, we sew a voluminous colorful skirt and a white folk-style shirt. If desired, the product can be decorated with decorative beads and rhinestones.

Application of crafts
Sometimes for holidays or to act out scenes, a beautiful headdress in the form of a cap with a visor is required. With sewing skills, dressmakers using black and blue fabric will be able to sew a headdress of the desired shape according to the pattern. Knitting enthusiasts will knit a cap in no time according to the pattern of a beret with a visor.
But in the absence of these needlework skills, you can make a wonderful headdress from paper or cardboard. In this article we will look in detail at how to make a policeman’s cap for a child or a small craft for a toy. On February 23, it is interesting to give men a bottle of a good drink, decorating its lid with a headdress with a felt visor.

Cap on the rim
The simplest headdress option for a little policeman would be a cap made of thick paper or cardboard. First you need to measure the circumference of the child's head at forehead level. Then, on a large sheet of A-3 format, draw a strip, the length of which is equal to the result obtained. The width is taken by eye, but do not make the strip too thin, as it may tear with sudden movement. The optimal size is 5 cm. Add an extra couple of centimeters in length to attach the ends of the headband to each other after trying it on your head.
Next you need to draw the outlines of a policeman’s cap in the center of the sheet. How to make it yourself can be clearly seen in the pattern drawing above. To find out the length of the visor, measure the distance from one end of your forehead to the opposite. Connect the edges of the measurements together with a thin arc.
Next, a narrow rectangle is drawn under the ruler, from the ends of which an extension is made in both directions at the same distance. The dots are then connected together. You will get a cap with a flat top. You can make a triangular elevation in the center, then it will be more convenient to attach the police emblem.
All that remains is to cut out everything along the contours, paint it with paints or appliqué from colored paper, measure the correct length of the headband on the child’s head and attach its ends with a stapler or PVA glue.
Cardboard craft for games
You already know how to make a policeman’s cap with a rim with your own hands. Let's take a closer look at another similar example of a craft. This option can be used not only for playing police. As you can see, the cap is made a little differently from the previous example in the article. The main steps are performed in the same way, namely, first draw a strip of the headband according to the measurements of the baby’s head circumference, then add a visor at the bottom.
Next you need to act a little differently. The main part of the cap is drawn on top of the rim. The visor bends forward exactly along the fold line.
A thin strip with two circles of buttons is also drawn above the strip. The cap can be shaped into any shape you wish. The difference in operation is the additional headband, which is removable and is put on in the center of the headdress. Thus, you can depict any icon on it. This will allow you to play not only as a policeman, but also as a pilot, driver, train driver, postman or sailor. It is enough to make several interchangeable headbands for one common headdress.
Convertible made of cardboard
You will need: a deep cardboard box, disposable paper plates and cups, acrylic paint, a pencil, a ruler, tape, a stationery knife, long wooden spatulas, 2 orange corks, a red flat button, colored paper, felt-tip pens.
Master Class
- Close and seal the box with tape.
- Draw the silhouette of the doors with a pencil.
- Cut out the doors.
- Cut the windshield across the box.
- Fold the windshield forward and make a wide slit.
- Secure with tape.
- Make the seats by folding the back down.
- Paint the car with acrylic paint.
- Cut the base of the paper cups and glue the lights on. Make an exhaust pipe from the rest of the glasses.
- Make a radiator grill using 6 spatulas.
- Make a sight glass divider using the seventh spatula.
- Make hazard lights out of traffic jams.
- Glue the wheels using plates.
- Draw logos with a felt-tip pen.
- Cover the interior with colored paper. It is better to use a brown color that resembles natural leather.
- Glue a red button and draw a smiley face on it.

How to make a cardboard car with your own hands
Do crafts with your child, trust him with the work, give him hints and help. Thus, you will spend your leisure time usefully and cheerfully with your hands.
Sample badge for a Russian police officer's cap
If you made a policeman’s cap with your own hands, then you must place a badge on the front. It does not have to exactly match the real cockade. You can simply write the word “police” on the rim. The country's flag in a square frame will look interesting. Before making a policeman's cap, think about the shape of the cockade in order to aesthetically place it on the rim.
If you want to make an exact copy of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs badge, as in the photo in the article, first draw a vertical oval with jagged edges. Then in the middle of it draw another one, only smaller. The cockade must have the same rim around its entire perimeter. You can paint it with yellow paint instead of gold. The inner oval is used for the flag of the state. Stripes of three colors look beautiful, located not evenly, but diagonally.
How to make a police costume for a boy with your own hands?
- You won’t have to sit sewing for so long, but how much joy you will bring to your son with such a handmade gift! For the sake of boundless happiness in his eyes, you can ignore the time it will take you to create a police costume. Moreover, sewing it will not be so difficult for you if you use our tips and drawings.
- When we evoke the image of a real policeman in our memory, the following components of his uniform appear before our eyes: a cap, a jacket and multiple accessories.
What you will need to sew a police suit:
- Purchase raincoat fabric of the desired color (80x140 cm), threads, buttons and chevrons with stripes.
- You don’t have to buy chevrons and stripes in a store - you can make them yourself: print them using thermal paper, and then transfer them to fabric with a dense structure.
You can buy it or make it from paper
How to make a uniform cap for a policeman’s suit with your own hands:
- First of all, measure the boy's head. Divide the volume by 3.14 and add another 4 cm to the resulting figure (in our case it turned out to be 24 cm). On paper, draw a circle with a diameter corresponding to your measurements, and then transfer it to the fabric. You will need to cut out four more blanks (outer diameter 24 cm, inner diameter 16 cm).
Cap
- The cut fabric strip for the band should be 2 cm larger than the length of the boy’s head. In order to make a visor, cut out the two semicircular blanks needed for this.
- To begin, take care of the cut out “quarters”: stitch them together and iron them.
- Sew what you got to a round piece and make a notch in the inner part.
- Sew a piece of ribbon of the required length to the future band.
- Make a ring-shaped piece from the ribbon and iron it with an iron. Cut a strip to the size of the band from a plastic 5-liter water container, place it in a fabric strip and fasten it with a stapler.
- Start sewing together the two visor parts, and then make a notch inside, turn it inside out, iron it and put the visor cut from a plastic bottle inside.
- Next, the front part of the band is sewn together with the top.
- Turn the resulting product inside out, and then manually sew the band and visor inside the headdress.
- Decorate your cap with a cockade and a spring (if you have one).
- The headdress for the policeman is ready - as they say, cheap and cheerful, since a real uniform cap intended for boy cadets of the Suvorov Military School costs about a thousand rubles, and for naval cadets - around 500 rubles. If you already have one, then you can turn it into a cap for a policeman - equip its band with reflective tape, a badge and a strap.
We sew a jacket for a little policeman:
Take the required measurements from your boy and use our very simple drawings when creating a pattern.
Jacket
After cutting the fabric, you should have 2 parts each: front, back, sleeves, pockets, shoulder straps and collar.
- Sew the shoulder straps, turn them inside out and machine stitch them.
- Sew chevrons and a light-reflecting ribbon onto the outside of the sleeve blank.
- Sew pockets and chevrons on both parts of the front, and tuck the wrap.
- On one side, sew buttonholes.
- The chevron will also need to be sewn to the back.
- Sew the lines of the shoulders and equip these parts with shoulder straps.
- You will need to sew the sleeve and side part on one side using one seam, and then do the same manipulation on the other side.
- Hem the bottom of the jacket, and sew loops on the sides through which the belt will be threaded.
- Decorate the shoulder straps with emblems and stars . Decoration in the form of emblems will also need to be done on the collar, and in the form of badges on the pockets. Sew buttons to the front of the uniform.
The jacket and cap are ready.
Now all that remains is to put on the black formal trousers that your boy probably has and put on his shoes. And the costume of a real cop is ready: now the bandits will be in trouble, because it will be your boy who will be patrolling the matinee today!
We will also tell you how to make costumes:
- Robot
- Ninja
- Chanterelles
- Indian
- Stormtrooper from Star Wars
Cap with a star
Let's look at how to make a policeman's cap out of cardboard that will look like the real thing. It is placed on the child's head, covering the crown. To make it you will need:
- thick cardboard;
- colored paper for gluing the base;
- PVA glue;
- stationery stapler with paper clips;
- ruler;
- a simple pencil;
- compass.
The first step is to take measurements from the circumference of the child's head to draw the headband. As in previous versions, it is a strip of paper 5 cm wide. You need to leave an additional 2 cm on the top side to attach the top part of the craft. In total, the width is 5+2=7 (cm). The length of the headband corresponds to the circumference of the head plus a few centimeters to connect the ends of the part together. First, cover the strip with blue colored paper, and then connect the edges after trying it on with a stapler. This is done only from the back of the head so that the paper clips are not visible.
Visual aid to traffic rules for children
You will need: cardboard boxes, colored paper and cardboard, scissors, glue, markers, a pencil, a ruler, toy cars, a traffic cop.
Master Class
- Make houses and other buildings (shops, schools) by covering boxes with colored paper.

Top fastening
You need to attach the top of a round cap to the prepared headband. To do this, place the blank on a sheet of cardboard and measure the distance between the opposite sides of the rim. This will be the diameter of the circle. Add another 2 cm to the radius so that the top protrudes beyond the rim, and draw an even circle with a compass. Immediately cover it with green colored paper so as not to do this later, when the craft has a three-dimensional shape.
To attach the rim to the top, you need to cut the 2 cm width left for this purpose into corners. They are bent at an angle of 90 degrees and smeared with PVA glue. Then they carefully glue the top of the cap, pressing the triangles with their fingers from the inside. All that remains is to cut out a star from red colored paper using a stencil and glue it in the center of the strip.
How to make a visor
The cap has a black visor. In order for the craft to keep its shape, it needs to be made arched. To do this, measure the distance from one side of your forehead to the other and transfer the measurements to a strip of cardboard. Then use a compass to draw a smooth curved line, connecting these two points with an arc. The part of the visor that should be attached to the rim is also drawn with an arc, only of a larger diameter.
To attach these two pieces, add a thin strip to the smaller arc. Then cut it into corners, coat them with PVA glue and attach them to the rim from the back. Don’t forget to cover the surface with black colored paper before assembly.
Felt toy cap
You already know how to make a police cap out of paper in different ways. Now let's look at the detailed production of a small craft for a toy man. For work we will use sheets of felt in blue and black colors. You will need to cut 4 parts:
- two identical circles;
- rim strip;
- semicircle visor.
We leave the upper circle unchanged, and cut out a small circle in the center of the lower one and cut it from the inside in several places. The headband is attached to the folds of the fabric from the inside with hot glue.
For the visor, repeat the procedure of cutting the edges again. It is enough to hold the two parts together with hot glue for a couple of seconds, and they will be securely connected. We will not describe again how the length of the rim and the diameter of the circles are measured, you already know this from the previous subheadings.
Now you can please your child with a new headdress created by yourself. Happy endeavors!
