“We always expected cheerful magic from him. If you’re with him, it’s so enticing – you won’t be able to tear yourself away.”
Lydia Chukovskaya (about her father Chukovsky Korney Ivanovich)
If you didn’t go anywhere in the summer and stayed in Moscow, then it’s time to go with your children on a wonderful excursion to the Chukovsky House Museum, reread with your child your favorite fairy tales that Korney Ivanovich wrote, or read new ones that your child does not yet know.
The name of Korney Ivanovich is known not only in Russia, but far beyond its borders. Many of his books have been translated into various languages of the world. There are very interesting fact in the biography of the writer: in 1962, the University of Oxford awarded the writer academic degree, title - Doctor of Literature. Another equally interesting fact: the real name and surname of the writer is Nikolai Vasilievich Korneychukov. Chukovsky Korney Ivanovich is a writer's pseudonym. And it is by this name that all the children know him.
The Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky Museum is located very close to Moscow, in the town of writers, in Peredelkino near Moscow. You can get there by public transport or by your own car. In a picturesque town, surrounded by pine and birch trees, stands the house-museum of his beloved children's writer.
Before entering the museum grounds, take a look at the brickwork-fence with your children, which is located opposite the museum gate, across the road. There are drawn story pictures based on the tales of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky. True, it is clear from everything that they were painted a long time ago and, apparently, also have not been updated for a long time: the paint is cracked in some places, faded and peeling. But it is quite possible to consider episodes from fairy tales. This is some preparation for the excursion. Because, even without entering the museum, already here, at the gate, you can plunge into the writer’s work and play the game with your children: “Guess what the artist drew?” The children will vying with each other to recite poems from the works of Korney Ivanovich to you by heart. Ask what word Aibolit repeated when he was hurrying to Africa. Who put out the sea in the fairy tale “Confusion”? What is the favorite delicacy of crocodiles from the fairy tale “Telephone”? What did the Cluttering Fly treat the butterfly? Amazing! Everyone is ready for the excursion!
Let's go! Immediately, there is a large tree in the yard, on which “shoes, sandals and boots have already grown.” Don’t forget to tell the children before the excursion that Korney Ivanovich has a wonderful, funny, very positive poem “The Miracle Tree”. You can read lines from the poem at the improvised miracle tree, which is located in the courtyard of the house-museum:
Like ours at the gate
The miracle tree is growing.
Miracle, miracle, miracle, miracle
Wonderful!
Not the leaves on it,
Not flowers on it,
And stockings and shoes,
Like apples!
The miracle tree is a “magic tree” on which, instead of fruits, sandals and shoes grow, which can be seen right near the writer’s house!
The poem was written by Chukovsky in 1926 for his daughter Murochka.
And if you are lucky and your excursion is led by Uncle Volodya, then the children will certainly remember it for many years. The guide is simply wonderful!
Before the excursion, you read fairy tales, got acquainted with Chukovsky’s new works, but what to do after the excursion?
Of course, enjoy the memories, do interesting crafts, learn by heart excerpts from your favorite works and, of course, conduct based on the works of a children's writer.
Craft “Miracle Tree”
An original craft is made from an ordinary paper bag.

Play the game " Fairytale names. Who is this?". Prepare pictures that depict Aibolit, Fedora, the shark, Barmaley and other characters from the works of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky.
You ask the question: “Who is Aibolit?” The child looks for a card with a picture of Aibolit, points to it and says: “Doctor.”
"Barmaley?" - “Robber.”
“Fedora?” - "Grandmother".
“Patter?” - "Fly".
Craft-toy “Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodilovich”
In which of Chukovsky's fairy tales is the crocodile the hero? “Crocodile”, “Cockroach”, “Stolen Sun”, “Confusion”, “Barmaley”, “Moidodyr”, “Telephone”.
They say that before becoming a children's writer, Chukovsky did a lot of translations, wrote articles, literary critic. One day he got sick little son. At this time they were traveling on the train. The boy was capricious and crying. Then Korney Ivanovich began to tell him a fairy tale. “Once upon a time there was a crocodile, he walked the streets.” The boy calmed down, and the next day he asked his father to tell him the same fairy tale again...
This is how the fairy tale “Crocodile” appeared, with its main character - Krokodilovich!
Once upon a time there lived a Crocodile.
He walked the streets
Spoke in Turkish -
Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodilovich!
Shall we make Krokodilovich, who was defeated by Vanya Vasilchikov?
What do you need?
How to do it?
Draw or print a picture of a crocodile. Color with your child with bright colors.
Let your Krokodilovich be cheerful, kind and perky! Cut it along the outline. Cut the picture into 2 parts. Next, you need to bend a colored sheet of paper like an accordion and glue two wooden sticks(skewers or straws for juice). It turned out to be an accordion.
For an accordion, you need to take thick paper so that it retains its shape well and stretches easily. Now you need to glue the accordion to the halves of the crocodile picture. What a fun toy it turned out to be!
Now I want to run and have fun!
Play the outdoor game “Crocodile and Turtles.” The leading crocodile is selected. The rest are turtles. The turtles slowly walk around the crocodile's house and say a teaser:
— The Nile flowed among the sands,
The crocodile buried itself in the mud.
We are not afraid of the crocodile:
He's very cute today!
Hearing the words “very nice,” the crocodile runs out of his house and tries to catch up and grease the fleeing turtles. Whoever the crocodile catches becomes a crocodile and the game repeats again.
To play catch-up, you can learn a rhyme.
- Somehow a little crocodile
He swam away from his parents.
He went on a spree and got lost
And I was confused with fear!
We will help, so be it,
Come out - you'll drive!
Craft “The boss of the washbasins and the commander of the washcloths!”
Many, many decades ago, almost every family had washbasins. If not in the house, then at the dacha. Nowadays, the word washbasin, in general, has fallen out of use; it is practically not used in speech. And our children can learn about the washbasin from Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky’s fairy tale “Moidodyr”.
After reading the fairy tale, make a very easy, unusual and beautiful craft from the fairy tale. Your baby will be happy!
What do you need?
How to do it?
Finding two cardboard boxes at home is not at all difficult. To make this craft, you need to cover the boxes with colored paper or simply paint them with gouache. This will be the body of the washbasin.
Glue two toilet paper cylinders to the body. Decorate to your taste. Glue or draw eyes on the washbasin, make a faucet out of a juice straw, make a sink out of a yogurt cup.
Add details: hair, hat. Hands - a towel made from a strip of paper.
We have a wonderful head of wash basins! And, of course, your baby will now know why we so often say: “...always and everywhere, eternal glory to water!”
You worked, glued, cut, painted. To rest your fingers, play the finger massage game “Shower”:
More blue cloud (clench and unclench your fists)
Water your hands with water (rub your hands)
Shoulders and elbows, (rub shoulders and elbows)
Fingers and nails, (rub fingers and nails)
And the back of the head and temples, (rub the back of the head and temples)
Chin and cheeks, (rub chin and cheeks)
Three washcloths on the knees, (rub the knees)
Rub the brush well (rub your knees)
Let's rub the girl/boy well, (name). (rub the whole body)
Korney Ivanovich's poems and fairy tales bring children a lot of joy. Today we simply cannot imagine childhood without his fairy tales: without “Aibolit” and “Tsokotukha the Fly”, “Confusion” and “Telephone”, “Moidodyr” and “Fedora’s Grief”. Although, today Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky is considered a controversial children's writer. The attitude of adults towards his work is ambiguous. Children like his heroes, his poems, and adults see in his works either cruelty (“I’ll chop you up like beef. I, glutton, have nothing to feel sorry for you”), or violence (“And at full gallop he cuts off his head”). And the children just laugh merrily. Because they perceive “adult cruelty and violence” as the victory of good over evil - what all fairy tales teach children.
I remember when I first read the fairy tale “Barmaley” to my little son, it made a huge impression on him. He asked to read it every day, and we read it, sometimes 2 times a day. He really, really liked her. When he grew up, he knew it by heart!
All children love fairy tales. Sometimes the characters that kids want to play with are not on sale or parents don’t have enough money for toys. Therefore, homemade ones will come to the rescue; they are quite simple to create, especially if a child helps you. The most valuable thing when making toys with your baby is the development of his abilities and imagination. Any material can be useful: plasticine, cones, fabric and paper.
Fairy-tale characters can turn out colorful and bright. Even schoolchildren make them with their own hands, without the help of elders, using plasticine. This is the most convenient material for children's modeling. You can try to sculpt the Serpent Gorynych from a fairy tale, and at the same time give him a kind smile and a gentle character. You will need to roll a lot of balls from green plasticine: from one we will make a body, three will go on the heads, four on the paws. Each of them must be slightly stretched and rolled into sausages. Now all that remains is to attach all the elements to the back. But that’s not all: we create wings from two balls, attach eyes to the heads, mark the nostrils with a match, cut through the mouth and put a scarlet tongue in place. The snake will turn out to be very kind. And rightly so: there is enough evil in the world.
Crafts fairy-tale heroes there are different ones. For example, these could be characters from Russian folk tales and full-length films.
It is recommended to make toys using simple, easy methods with younger children, and with older children you can try more complex technologies. Whatever hero you have to make, the main thing is that he is kind. For example, a smiling and funny kolobok from Russian folk tale can be made from ordinary threads. To do this you need to take balloon, glue, thread and colored paper.
We inflate the ball, and the color does not matter. The jar of glue should be pierced with a needle; a needle and thread will pass through this hole, lubricated with sticky mass on all sides. Then we wind the thread around the ball: everyone chooses the density themselves. After there are quite a lot of threads, the workpiece needs to be dried. When the process is complete, the ball must be pierced.
Then you need to pull it through the hole between the threads. The ball can still serve and please the baby if you do not pierce it, but simply carefully untie it and let the air out of it. All that remains is to glue on the eyes, mouth and cheeks, which are cut out of colored paper. You can add a hat. That's it: the mischievous and funny bun is ready.
How to make fairy-tale heroes with your own hands? Now we'll tell you. For example, we propose to make the cute and beloved character of E. Uspensky, Cheburashka. To create it, the following materials will be useful: cardboard (only necessarily corrugated) in two colors corresponding to the natural shades of Cheburashka: yellow and brown. You will need several types of glue: PVA and hot.
The body and head of the toy are made in the same way. For them you will need four parts: two front and the same number of back. The front sides are made first. They are rolled out of cardboard yellow. Add two rows of brown cardboard on top. To add volume, slightly squeeze out the middle of the parts and fix them with glue. This will be the face and tummy of Cheburashka. The back parts of the head and torso are performed in brown color. They need to be glued together. The legs, arms and ears are made in the same way. Using cut out individual parts, a characteristic face with eyes, nose and mouth is created.
It's rare to find toys made of wood in any home. Only real craftsmen create beautiful and original wooden fairy-tale characters. It’s difficult to make them with your own hands, but quite possible. If, before working on a character, you read a fairy tale about the wonderful boy Pinocchio with your children, they will be very happy to help in finishing some of the details.
For beginning craftsmen, the softest types of wood are suitable. These include aspen and linden. The toy's head, body, arms and legs are made from solid elements. All small parts can be made from leftovers. Then they need to be sanded using Fasteners for wooden Pinocchio parts can be of two types: wire and hinged. The first connection will be effective for small toys. If you are planning a volumetric one, you will have to work hard on connecting its parts. Her nose, eyes, hair, expressive hands and bright clothes will bring life to life. This Pinocchio, made and assembled with your own hands, will become a favorite toy not only for children, but also for grandchildren. This toy will be unique and will be passed on to future generations.
There is no need to specifically look for soft toy lovers. Even adults still buy furry ones for themselves. fairy tale characters as well as for your kids. Soft toys are sewn during school clubs. For children involved in such creativity, ready-made kits are sold.
But the simplest material from which you can make crafts for fairy-tale characters is, of course, paper. You can completely come up with original patterns for the entire fairy tale yourself or find ready-made ones. In any case, there is an opportunity to show creativity and imagination, coloring the elements and details in your own way. In this way you can make Karabas-Barabas, Pierrot and Malvina. And then act out a whole play with friends. It will work out puppet theater Houses. If you want to continue demonstrating your talents, you can consider various ways, how to make Cinderella, Snow White, Jasmine and other magical characters. Fairytale princesses can be created from ordinary colored cardboard. To do this, we roll one colored sheet, blue or pink, into the shape of a cone - this will be our dress. From another part of the cardboard we cut out the torso and head, attach them to the skirt. Then we draw the face. Glue threads instead of hair. As a result, we will get a gentle Cinderella or a beautiful Rapunzel.

Fairy tales by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky are easy to read and remember, develop speech and memory, and most importantly, they help develop a sense of humor.
But the real name of the writer is Nikolai Korneychukov, and Korney Chukovsky is literary pseudonym. He was born in St. Petersburg in 1882 on March 19 (31). The mother of the future writer, peasant woman Ekaterina Osipovna Korneychukova, was a servant in the family of his father Emmanuel Solomonovich Levenson.
As is now commonly said, they lived in a civil marriage; it was not officially registered. Nikolai is the second child in this family. Marusya was born before him. After three years of civil marriage, the father abandoned this “illegitimate family” and married a woman who was from “his circle.”
The mother of the future writer moved with her children to Odessa. He spent his childhood here and in Nikolaev.
My creative activity Korey Ivanovich started at the Odessa News newspaper, for which he wrote articles. Then he married Maria Borisovna Goldfeld and together with her in 1903 he went to London as a correspondent for Odessa News.
Chukovsky independently learned English from a self-instruction manual, was the only English speaker in the publishing house, so he was sent to work in London.
But upon his arrival in Odessa at the end of 1904, even more global events awaited him - the revolution of 1905.
Korey Ivanovich seriously took up criticism and after the revolution of 1917 he published two books - about Mayakovsky and Akhmatova, about Blok. At the same time, he began many years of work on Nekrasov, his favorite poet. And back in 1908, he published works on Chekhov, Blok, Balmont, Bryusov, Kuprin, Sergeev-Tsensky, Artsybashev, Gorky, Merezhkovsky and others.
Koren Ivanovich Chukovsky wrote his first fairy tale “Crocodile” in 1916. And he published “Cockroach” and “Moidodyr” in 1923. A year later, a poetic work for children “Barmaley” was published.
In the early 1930s, Korney Ivanovich became interested in studying child psychology, how they learn to speak, and wrote the book “From Two to Five.”
In the 60s, Chukovsky decided to write a Bible for children. But at that time the authorities carried out anti-religious propaganda, and the project did not materialize. At first he was told not to write the words “God” or “Jews” in the book. Korney Ivanovich replaced the word “God” with “Wizard Yahweh.”
The book was printed, but did not see the light of day, since the authorities destroyed the entire circulation. This is what Chukovsky, whose biography is full of drama, experienced. After all, he lost his beloved daughter Masha, who died in childhood. The writer often mentions her in his works, calling her Murochka.
In addition to her, the poet had a daughter, Lydia, who also became a writer. Son - translator and prose writer - Nikolai and son Boris, who died during the Great Patriotic War.
Streets were named in memory of the great writer, monuments were erected to him and the heroes of his works in different cities. An asteroid is named after Chucocolla.
Now that you have found out for yourself and told the children about Chukovsky’s biography, learn his poems together. To make them better remembered, during creative process Make a miracle tree with your kids.
Cut rectangles with a side of 2 cm from corrugated paper. Winding the blanks onto a pencil, make trims out of them. Attach those to the branches as leaves.
Now you need to let the dough dry completely, only after that paint the tree and shoes. The child will do this with pleasure.
Glue moss down to the base or paint the trunk circle in green. You can sculpt a cat out of dough and plant it under a miracle tree.
Read lines from this work to children from infancy to show that the children have developed well. When they can speak, they will repeat the lines after you. For them to memorize them, together make a character from a fairy tale in verse - the fly Tsokotukha.
The silicone rods of the hot gun are very hot. To prevent your child from getting burned, glue the elements yourself, and he will watch and learn.
If the kids are small, draw them with a simple pencil elements future painting. Prepare the following materials with them:
If you need to quickly make a Tsokotukha fly outfit, put a yellow blouse, a black skirt and a dark beret on your child. You need to make 2 holes in it, insert black antennae made of soft wire here.
All that remains is to make the wings. Here are 2 options for making them.
Option #1
Cut out the wings from white mesh. Tuck the edges under and stitch to leave a small gap on all sides. Insert the wire here and shape the wings.
Option No. 2
It is suitable for those who do not have a sewing machine.
You can sew a piece of white fur to one and the second wing to connect them at the top and decorate.
You can also complement the Tsokotukha fly costume with a head mask like this.
Experienced craftswomen can sew a clattering fly costume.
The wings are created in the same way as described above, but the edges are trimmed with braid. All that remains is to put white tights on the girl, black lacquered dolls, and the image of the character is created.
All that remains is to add wings to them. Enlarge the following template or transfer it to squared paper.
They are painted, when it dries, the blanks are folded into various knots to create a fly from a fairy tale. From the same material, make a samovar that the fly bought at the market.
All this is put into a wire basket, and its sides are braided with thread.
Children will also know this work by K.I. Chukovsky very well if you make a thematic craft with them.
The master class will tell you about two options for creating it. For the first one, cut out a triangle from white cardboard, roll it into a cone, glue it sides to each other. Let the child draw the doctor’s facial features with a felt-tip pen and glue cotton wool in the shape of a beard and hair. He will roll up a strip of cardboard, draw a red cross on it, and glue this cap on Aibolit’s head.
You can sew it and a felt headdress, embroider a red cross, facial features, and glue cotton wool, which will become a beard and mustache.
If you need to perform the play “Doctor Aibolit”, you can use the existing soft toys children are animal characters. You can turn a doll into a doctor by giving it appropriate makeup and sewing clothes.
This is another fairy tale in verse by a great writer. Drawing is a great way to remember it. The work will be even more interesting if the child glues this to his hands. negative hero plastic fork and knife.
The next craft will teach the children their first sewing skills. For it use:
The paws are made of fabric, they look like house slippers.
Cut out the nose from burgundy fabric, glue it to the insect's muzzle, and on it - the eyes are made of white, and the pupils are made of black cardboard.
The character from the fairy tale “The Cockroach” turned out to be so soft and fluffy, and not at all scary.
This poem begins with the crocodile swallowing the sun. Read these lines to the children and show them how to make a craft for which you need to use:
For crafts, you can take wooden skewers for shish kebab or sushi sticks. The sharp ends of the skewers are cut off.
But then the bear helped return the sun to the animals. Let the children show this moment on paper. The luminary of the day can be depicted in a very interesting way by dipping one side of a matchbox in paint and leaning it against the paper in a circle, making rays.
And a good crocodile helped put out the fire, albeit with pies, salted mushrooms and pancakes. Such a funny picture can also be created by children's hands. Invite them to make an implication on cardboard, paper or fabric using felt.
Another tale by Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky. Kids will love making a cleanliness warrior from a rectangular yogurt container. Here's what you'll need:
Sew a towel from fabric or place a handkerchief on the hero’s shoulder. Place the basin on the other. And if you need it for a matinee, you can also create it from cardboard boxes.
Here are some crafts you can make based on the fairy tales of K.I. Chukovsky. To interest kids, show them cartoons based on books by a children's writer. While watching entertaining stories, make crafts together.
