A cow in the form of a toy can be made by the child himself. For example, from paper. And in order for it to turn out as high-quality and accurately as possible, download the template and move on to the first stage.
Necessary materials:
Step-by-step photo lesson:
Download the template and print on thick paper. Now you can start cutting out elements from it. There are 4 of them in total: a tail, a muzzle, a body with a head and a small element to add volume.
We begin to create a cow from the largest element. Bend all sides along the dotted lines. A small part near the ear should be cut with scissors, up to the vertical dotted line.
We glue all sides of the workpiece to obtain a square shape of the body.
Now we will add another detail to the muzzle, which will be voluminous. To do this, prepare one detail. It looks like a white stripe with dotted lines. It should be bent along the lines and glued to get a rectangle. Then we apply glue to most of the rectangle and lean it against the bottom of the muzzle.
Glue the lower part of the muzzle to the cow's head.
Now you should make a tail for a spotted cow. To do this, take the part and bend it along the dotted line. We apply office glue and apply it to the back of the body.
Now the paper toy in the shape of a cow from the template is ready. Let the glue dry thoroughly and secure all the glued elements together so that the child can play.

DIY Cow craft
To make such a voluminous craft, you will need a small box, four cardboard toilet paper rolls, black paints, white paper and a black marker.
If necessary, the cardboard box must be covered with white paper. Then glue cardboard sleeves to the box to create legs.
We will need: 2 large plastic bottles, 4 cardboard toilet paper tubes, laces for making a tail, cocktail tubes for making an udder, toothpicks, an awl, scissors, a knife, glue, paint, brushes, a lot of old newspapers, tape.
1. First of all, let's make the tail. We make a hole in the bottom of the bottle and fasten a string in it. To do this, we pull the lace from the other side through the neck and make a knot that prevents this end of the lace from passing through the hole in the bottom of the bottle. We pull the lace on the other side and cut it in such a way as to ensure the formation of a tail of a given length.
2. Tie a knot on the other side of the lace (not shown in the photo). If necessary, add a wad of crumpled newspaper to the outside of the bottom and secure it with adhesive tape.
The back of a cow in the future will look like this:
3. In this case, a specially shaped bottle was used to make a neck for the cow. However, you can make a cow without a neck. All you have to do is make the muzzle and ears, and you can also add horns. To make a mouth, you need to cut off the spout of the bottle, then you will get a wider hole.
Fold a thick strip of newspaper and twist it along the snail, leaving one end free (do not twist the snail all the way. Secure it with tape and insert the snail with the free end into the hole of the bottle.
4. Let's make ears from another bottle. At the end of each ear we additionally provide a rectangular protrusion to secure it in the cut-out hole of the bottle. We make 2 cuts in the appropriate places of the bottle and insert the ears into them.
The results are very “real” ears.
This is what the finished cow's head will look like.
5. Toilet paper roll tubes will be used as cow legs.
We make 2 semicircular cuts opposite each other at one end of the tube to be connected to the bottle.
6. Attach the tubes to the bottle using tape.
In the photo you can see what our cow's legs will look like.
7. We make an udder from cocktail tubes. Roll a small ball of newspaper, then form a U-shaped strip from a cocktail straw. We punch 2 holes in the places where the tube is bent. We insert toothpicks through these holes and stick them into the paper ball.
8. If necessary, trim the toothpicks. We make another pair of teats and attach the udder to the body of our cow. The horizontal part of the U-shaped strip will be covered with paper.
9. Now it's time to apply layers of papier-mâché. We will apply 6-7 layers of newspaper; to make each layer, we immerse the newspaper in glue mixed with water. For the top layers we use a more concentrated mixture of glue and white newspaper margins. At the end, we finish drawing the eyes, nostrils and other details. We hang a bell around our neck.
A cute cow for your summer cottage can be made from a plastic bottle. It is desirable that the bottle be large enough in size and square in cross section.

- The legs of crafts from plastic bottles - a magic cow - are easy to make from pieces of a plastic pipe. You can fix it by heating a section of a plastic pipe over a fire and quickly attaching it to a plastic bottle. In this case, the parts will be “welded”.

On one plate with a brush, we apply random strokes with black paint - like spots.
To make it more interesting for the child, you can use black shoe polish and a brush instead of paint and brush. Black color will successfully replace brown and orange - with them you get a cow of a different suit.
We paint the second plate yellow. Then we cut off its edges, giving them the shape of cow horns. You can first cut out the horns and then carefully paint them.
While the paint dries, we do other work.
On the landscape sheet, draw the eyes with a black marker: first, draw two large black dots, then draw ovals around them.
We draw on the eyelashes. Cut out the eyes from .
Cut out a circle from pink paper, draw on it two large dots (nostrils) and an arc - a mouth. It turns out to be a muzzle.
