For the successful versatile development of the child, activities for the development of fine motor skills of the hands are of great importance. One of the types of such activities are colored paper applications, the templates for which are developed by methodologists, taking into account the peculiarities age groups preschoolers.

It is important that the complexity of the task corresponds to the age of the child, that the classes are carried out systematically, gradually becoming more difficult, and take place under the supervision and with the help of adults.

Paper applications – creative process through which children learn the world and acquire many skills. In addition to the development of fine motor skills of the hands, this is coordination of movements, the study of colors and their combinations, the concept of composition, acquaintance with various materials and textures, the development of observation, imagination and fantasy.

Working on the application in a team contributes to organization, endurance, accuracy. It is also necessary to note the development of spatial imagination: while doing appliqué, children create a whole from several components and, conversely, learn to divide the whole into parts.

Scientists have proven that in the cerebral cortex, the center responsible for fine motor skills is located next to the speech center and contributes to the development of speech skills.

Types of applications according to the template

There are three main types of applications:

• subject - the cut parts have a simple, clear shape and proportions, an image is created that is not associated with any plot;
• plot-thematic - correspondence to a certain plot (taken from a fairy tale or invented independently);
• decorative - decoration of postcards, photo frames with patterns of geometric shapes.

Simple applications for children 2-3 years old

Simple appliques from colored paper using templates can be practiced from 2 years old. However, some experts believe that children from 1 year old can also perform feasible tasks.

The initial lessons are gluing pieces of paper on a sheet in any form. At this stage, the child must understand and remember the basic actions: spread, turn over, attach, smooth. The process itself attracts kids so far, they will strive for the result later.

At the second level of complexity, templates are used. The child must also place the elements randomly, but within the contour, and a certain image appears.

A template is a schematic image of a future picture, drawn or printed on a printer. Simple patterns for colored paper applications can be, for example, a Christmas tree with balls, a tree with apples and others.

For such work, you need to prepare elements: balls, apples, etc. The child must determine for himself how to place them on the templates.

For young children, it will be interesting to perform a simple breakaway application. The kid watches how the adult tears the paper into long strips, then he tears them into pieces. These pieces need to fill the contour.

If the child wants to tear the paper himself, then these uneven, awkward strips can also be used to make an application, for example, grass. Ants are drawn with finger paints.

Further, the task becomes more complicated: you need to get the element to a specific place in the template or the drawn contour. So, with the help of cut out circles, an image of a caterpillar is made. At this stage, children are interested not only in the process, but also in the result.

When making applications from colored paper using patterns and contours with children under 3 years old, prepared cut-out elements are used.

A three-year-old child can already be taught how to work with scissors with rounded ends.

At the same time, it is necessary to explain how to properly hold scissors and paper so as not to get hurt. You need to start with straight cuts, then work out the bends and roundings.

At this age, children are already able to create simple plot pictures. The elements glued onto the template allow you to create a specific image.

The background for the application can be a drawn contour with partially drawn elements. For example, children can populate a template aquarium with algae and stones at the bottom with inhabitants: fish, jellyfish, etc.

An interesting activity there may be a connection and gluing of a cut picture. If the child copes with such a task easily, it is recommended to complicate it: add raindrops to the umbrella, glue windows to the house with an attached roof. Such activities develop fantasy, observation, a sense of proportion.

Applications for children 4-5 years old

At this age, colored paper applications and patterns for them become more difficult. Preparing, together with an adult, elements for a future picture, the child shows more independence: he cuts out, selects colors and, thus, gets an idea about the composition.

This activity develops logical thinking, allows you to show creative inclinations.

For children 4-5 years old, making postcards is an exciting activity, which they then give to their parents and friends.

The base is folded in half and elements are glued inside the card, forming a plot picture.

The templates developed by experts are only examples to indicate the direction of work.

Parents and educators can contribute their ideas. For example, the use of a cut-out contour of a baby’s palm in an application - such pictures cause amazement and delight in children.

The application technique from one circles reveals for the child the relationship of parts and the whole.

Developing the creative imagination of the child, you should show him various methods of working with paper: for example, fold it in the form of an accordion. For such a picture, you need to prepare the base, apply the contours. The gluing process is also complicated.

Complex applications for children 6-7 years old

Children of senior preschool and junior school age already have certain skills.

Classes with colored paper applique using templates during this period help to further develop fine motor skills, thinking, memory and concentration, and the ability to plan one's activities is developed.

An important circumstance is that the child foresees the final result of his work.

At this age, children consolidate the skill of cutting out individual details and solid silhouettes, symmetrical elements from paper folded in half, as well as the ability to create compositions and correctly place their individual parts on the basis.

At this stage, children learn color combinations, analyze and compare details. The texture of the material also becomes diverse: in addition to ordinary colored paper, crepe (“crumpled”), highlighted (glossy), textured (embossed or imitating velvet), and foil are used.

During this period, you can move on to voluminous symmetrical compositions.

To perform such a task, templates (clouds, Balloons) are cut in the usual way. Next, two identical templates are folded in the center and fastened together (can be sewn). Prepared elements are glued to the base.

To make a three-dimensional bird, the template is folded in half and glued together, except for the wings, which are folded along the dotted line.

The result obtained can be glued with one side and a wing on the base (in the form of an appliqué) or turned into a craft by tying it to a thread and hanging it on a twig.

Having learned the basics of composition at the previous stages, children of 6-7 years old are able to create whole pictures - landscapes, still lifes, using ready-made templates for applications from colored paper or making them with the help of a teacher or parents.

Applications using a disposable plate

Disposable plates are comfortable material with which you can create original and beautiful compositions. Made of polystyrene or cardboard, in different colors, with different embossed patterns, they can be both the basis for the application and the elements for it.

Children can be involved in making applications from colored paper on a disposable plate using templates. younger age. On a prepared colored background, children arrange simple elements in the form of a pattern.

A more complicated option is to use two or more colors for the background and more complex elements. Children 6-7 years old already make thematic compositions on plates or use them as material for individual elements.

Examples of gradually becoming more complex applications on plates:

Combined applications

When making applications from colored paper, patterns can be diversified by combining different materials.

Grain applications

This type of application can be done even with small children. The algorithm of work is as follows: an adult applies glue to the prepared drawing, the child pours grits on it and presses it lightly with his finger.

The remaining non-glued grains must be shaken off. Such an activity brings up attentiveness and accuracy in a child.

Older children can use different types of cereals. In this case, the glue is applied alternately to individual sections. For the brilliance of the picture, it is recommended to first tint the groats with gouache in different colors. As a template, you can take your own drawing of the child, this stimulates him, inspires him.

Button applications

To perform such an application, preliminary preparation is necessary. Having studied the drawing and choosing colors, the child, with the help of adults, selects buttons that are suitable in color and size. Then you should lay them out in a drawing to represent the desired result, and proceed with gluing.

For younger children who do not yet possess the necessary skills, you can apply a pattern according to the template on a layer of plasticine - the child will attach the buttons by pressing. This technique is applicable when working with cereals.

For combined applications, cotton wool, napkins, eggshell, natural materials - leaves, petals, seeds and much more.

Multi-layer applications

Multi-layer (overhead) applications of colored paper or other materials are made using templates designed or made independently.

Such work develops spatial imagination, educates aesthetic taste. They are made of paper, fabric, leather, felt - the main thing is that the edges of the material do not crumble.

Multilayer applications, like other varieties, come in varying degrees of complexity. For little ones, this is a simple gluing of parts on top of each other. By pinning elements from only one edge, you can create a three-dimensional effect.

More complex applications are characterized large quantity details, for their manufacture requires good skills in working with scissors, a sense of proportion and color.

Older children with developed fine motor skills hands, possessing the skills of making complex parts, create real works of art - unusual compositions and even portraits. Light and shade effects give them a special brilliance.

Multilayer application is already a truly creative process in which the imagination and artistic abilities of the child are manifested. You need to think about the image color scheme, the sequence of actions, so such work implies a certain level of intelligence.

Applications from pieces

Applications from cut or torn pieces of colored paper using templates are a fairly simple look, even small children can do them. A drawing must be applied to the base sheet. In addition to ready-made templates, you can use children's coloring pages or come up with a sketch yourself.

The production of appliqué elements is carried out together with the child - small children are happy to tear the paper into pieces. If you already have scissor skills, you can allow these elements to be cut out.

Important detail: how younger child, the larger the fragments should be.

After choosing the right colors, you can start gluing. Glue is applied not to small parts, but to the template, in sections.

When working with kids, this process is carried out by an adult, older children themselves apply glue with a brush. When gluing pieces of paper, the child must exactly fall into the contour.

A kind of appliqué from pieces is trimming. This technique is quite complicated, but for children of 6-7 years old it is quite within their power, especially when working together.

To master the technique of facing, teachers and parents are offered master classes on this topic.

Autumn themed applications

The bright colors of autumn make it possible to create colorful pictures of autumn nature. For applications on this topic, both colored paper and natural materials are used: multi-colored leaves, petals of late flowers, seeds, spikelets, twigs and other objects.

When making autumn-themed applications from colored paper according to templates and in a free composition, the main attributes are preserved - flowers, mushrooms, fruits, acorns, tree silhouettes are cut and painted. Mandatory component - autumn leaves.

When working with natural material you need to prepare it. The collected leaves must first be leveled and dried under pressure. If the leaf needs to be given any shape, then a fresh leaf is used for this, which is then dried.

For collages and mosaic paintings, you can prepare cardboard templates on which elements are glued.

Autumn nature is fertile ground for the flight of children's imagination. Leaves appliqués, placed in a photo frame, will decorate any interior.

Spectacular decoration there will be autumn lights. To do this, a glass vessel is glued on the outside with multi-colored leaves (paper or natural), a small candle is placed inside.

Winter themed applications

To create winter and, in particular, New Year's applications any of the described techniques is used, depending on the age of the children.

The most common type of winter applications are snowflakes - this is a subspecies of silhouette-type applications. Correctly fold the sheet, cut off the edge and sharp corner, it is recommended to make cuts first on plain paper This is how a skill is developed.

In addition, pendants made of such snowflakes decorate the room. Thin, airy snowflakes can be stuck on windows and other surfaces.

For young children, it is better to prepare templates (circles with an outline) and make a broken snowflake from pieces. For flat, voluminous, multi-layered snowflakes, it is required to prepare patterns for cutting.

To make a traditional Christmas tree, kids use green paper triangles, a snowman is made from white circles, a teacher or parent helps to complete the application with details.

Older children can be offered to make a Christmas tree from strips of paper or create a picture winter forest using templates, using small paper pieces or cotton wool.

A Christmas tree made of paper balls looks bright and voluminous. For this, a template and elements are made of crepe paper. The main color is dark green, multi-colored balls are made for the garland.

Interesting application with the image of winter accessories allows children to show creative imagination.

Hats and mittens can be decorated with any ornament, animal figurines, winter pictures, beads or rhinestones.

Cotton wool is used to imitate fur.

Via disposable plate you can make a craft-mask of a white bear cub. Holes are cut out in the plate - eyes, the surface is pasted over with pieces of paper, a disposable cup is used for the nose.

Senior preschoolers and elementary school students are able, under the guidance of adults, to create complex winter landscapes using mixed media.

Spring themed applications

Snowdrops and lilies of the valley, starlings and flowering trees - these signs of spring are traditionally used in children's colored paper applications using templates. The smallest perform simple tasks, placing prepared elements on the contours. The same images can be complicated by adding pictures of spring nature.

More complex compositions - voluminous, multi-layered, with a large number of elements - are created by children who have the skills to work with glue, scissors, a brush and use different techniques.

Lilacs in a vase of cereals, a spring picture in the technique of drawing and application - these and many other ideas are offered by specialists to parents and educators for developing activities with children.

Application is a visual activity. Having achieved the desired result, the child experiences aesthetic pleasure, thereby joining the world of beauty, the world of art. A simple and accessible way for children to create artwork makes applique one of the favorite types of educational activities with children.

Application (from Latin "attaching") - an interesting type of artistic activity - this is a way of working with colored pieces various materials: paper, fabrics, leather, furs, felt, colored beads, beads, woolen threads, chased metal plates, all kinds of fabrics (velvet, satin, silk), dried leaves ...

Paper applique for children can be a very interesting and educational activity. While working with the application, children develop motor skills and imagination. And the important point is also communication with you. Teach your child to see the beauty in the world around us. Help him create something with his own hands. Let at first it will turn out badly, do not forget to praise the child. After the praise, the child will try even harder. Of course, it is easier to do drawing by taking pencils or paints. But believe me, appliqué is much more useful and exciting, it will develop design thinking, tactile sensations, and also help in the study of colors and shapes. In order to do applications, you need to prepare in advance - come up with a plot and make paper blanks ...

MOSAIC FROM PIECES OF PAPER.

Such a mosaic develops fine motor skills well.

The most interesting and accessible for children preschool age is an application made of paper of bright colors. The very type of material, the simplicity of its processing stimulate the creative activity of the child, make it easy to master manual skills and abilities.

The paper for the background is most often taken thick, the tone is selected depending on the content of the image in order to emphasize a certain situation. For example, flowers are placed on a green background of a meadow or a meadow, silhouettes of birds are pasted on a blue background of the sky, and fish are pasted against the background of the blue depth of a river or sea.

On paper, draw an outline of the image. For younger children, it is better to draw some objects without small details. For example: flower, butterfly, heart. Now cut out this drawn figure.

Prepare small pieces. paper. Better yet, give this task to the baby. Let him prepare them himself, tearing the flowers with his hands. paper or pictures from magazines. You can also make circles with a hole punch.

Lubricate the cut out form with glue and fill it with pieces of paper. finished form stick on a sheet of paper or cardboard.

For older children, you can complicate the application by choosing a more complex figure.

APPLICATION FROM GRAINS AND SEEDS.

The use of seeds and cereals to create paintings and crafts always attracts children, and adults also enjoy working with such material.

Very beautiful works are obtained from watermelon, melon and other seeds.

For applications from seeds and cereals, the following materials are needed: cardboard, various seeds, various cereals, paints, felt-tip pens, dried leaves and PVA glue.

1. Draw an image of the future picture on cardboard.
2. Thickly smear this image with PVA glue.
3. Sprinkle grains or seeds on this painting.
This application can be done using one type of cereal, or you can complicate it with different types croup.

APPLICATION FOR KIDS FROM LEAVES.

For the application of the leaves you need to prepare in advance.

1. Collect and dry the leaves of the trees between the leaves of the book. in a couple of days the leaves will be ready. If you don’t want to wait, you can speed up this process and dry the leaves with an iron. To do this, wrap the leaves in a napkin and iron with an iron.
2. Now you need to come up with a future composition from the available leaves and select more suitable leaves, flowers, grass for it.
3. On a sheet of paper or cardboard, draw the outline of your picture and spread it with PVA glue.
4. Apply the leaves to the right place and dry at the end.

APPLICATION FOR KIDS FROM NAPKINS.

1. Draw the outline of the picture on a piece of paper.
2. Let the baby tear small napkins or thin paper.
3. Roll the pieces of napkins together into balls.
4. Spread the image with PVA glue and fill the entire space with these balls. Details of the image can be painted in different colors. The result is a voluminous and beautiful picture.

VOLUME APPLICATION FOR KIDS.

While doing applications with your child, you can teach him not only flat images, but also three-dimensional ones. Volumetric application looks more realistic and is perceived by the baby much better. To make voluminous applications, it is better to first wrinkle the paper in your hands, then smooth it out and cut out the desired shape. Next, this form must be glued and you can additionally draw the missing details with felt-tip pens or pencils. You can make for example: ladybug, beetle or turtle ...

Here is an example of "Lily".

For the application you will need:

1. colored paper
2. glue
3. Styrofoam
4. scissors,
5. pencil

How to make a volumetric lily:

Cut out a leaf in the form of a heart from green paper. Next, cut out petals of the same size from a different color of paper. You can limit yourself to 6 petals, or you can make our lily more magnificent and voluminous, for this you will need more petals. Now we alternately wrap each petal on a pencil and glue it in the center of a green leaf. We make the core from a piece of foam or from other material (sponge, colored paper) That's it, Lily!

FABRIC APPLICATION.

You can prepare in advance and collect the remnants of multi-colored fabric in a certain place. The fabric is desirable to collect a variety of textures and colors. Here it is important to show the baby with an example how the fabric helps to display something more vividly and at the same time easily in the picture.

For example, a fabric with an image of flowers along the contour is cut out and glued. ( good glue or klester). and paint on a vase or table. You will get a very colorful and capacious image. There are fabrics that will well depict a house, a hat for a little man, a handbag or an animal's torso.

APPLICATION FROM EGGSHELL.

One of the interesting and exciting ways to create applications is egg mosaic. Paint the shell in different colors with gouache and put to dry. After the shell dries, it is ready for use.

First you need to draw the outline of the drawing on paper and coat it with PVA glue. Now you need to fill certain places in the picture with different colors of the shell. Let the painting dry.

Paper crafts are a wonderful way for children and their parents to spend time together. Working with applications is no more difficult than folding origami paper: just outline the contours of the future figure and cut it out if we are talking about flat options. And volumetric products allow you to use them to compose whole pictures that are interesting precisely for their relief. And, of course, you can make a lot of attractive home accessories with them.

Volumetric application of flowers from paper: production

Of all the possible templates for applications, flowers can rightly be considered the most interesting and multifunctional. In addition to the fact that their types are diverse, almost everything can be decorated with flowers: from a postcard to a large panel, small interior details, etc. Therefore, this element is required to be mastered by everyone who begins to get involved in paper crafts. Depending on which flower you have chosen, the level of difficulty is determined.

For example, to make a classic chamomile, it will take no more than half an hour. To do this, ovals-petals are drawn on white paper, which can be squeezed a little on the sides to get narrower elements. If you remember the structure of a real chamomile, it will become clear that its petals are arranged in several rows: this will also be displayed in the application. Additionally, you will need green paper as a background, as well as a small piece of yellow paper from which the core of the flower will be cut.

Petals are cut in the amount of 16 pcs. the largest size, and then another 12 pieces, reduced in length by 3 mm, and in width - by 2 mm. With their bases, they are glued onto the selected background, forming a circle: the lower of the large petals, the upper of those that are smaller. And the last step is to add a yellow core circle. It can be made more interesting by tearing a small double-sided yellow sheet into small pieces, lubricating the intended place of the core on the chamomile with glue, and, observing the shape of a circle, pour yellow scraps there. Then the center of the flower will turn out fluffy.

But not all flowers are as easy as chamomile. For example, a voluminous peony ball is created using a different technology: you need soft paper, loose, corrugated or similar in texture to paper napkins. It is cut into squares, the length of the sides of which are chosen arbitrarily, but the circle of the future flower should enter the square. Layers of paper (8-10 pieces) are superimposed on each other, in the middle they are pierced with a thread, which is tied into a knot on the wrong side.

A peony pattern is drawn on thick cardboard, after which it is transferred by means of a stroke to the top layer of colored paper. All layers are cut at once along the drawn outline, then their transformation into petals begins. Since the peony is fluffy and voluminous, the algorithm of work is as follows. The top paper circle is lifted, held by the center with a thread, its edges are brought together, and the paper needs to be crumpled a little. This layer should remain in this vertical position.

Behind him, the next sheet of paper rises, also folds at the edges, but not so tightly, and again slightly wrinkled. It is required to lift each layer upwards, each time reducing the degree of convergence of its ends: the lowest one should slightly move away from the surface on which the pion lies.

New Year's applications from colored paper: three-dimensional models

Before the New Year, all schemes paper crafts become especially relevant: it is so nice to receive a handmade gift. And it will never be superfluous to decorate your own home. Through volumetric paper applications can be done beautiful postcard or a picture that will hang in the living room during the holidays. The central object on any of these products will be a Christmas tree.

The easiest way to create it is a bulk volumetric application. For this purpose, the contour of the future Christmas tree is drawn on the background sheet of paper, which is filled with glue inside. It is best to use PVA, because the glue in the stick will not fix the desired elements firmly enough if they are not pressed down. And this cannot be done in this case.

Now, small squares or triangles are cut from double-sided green paper, which are crushed by hand and, in a deformed state, wake up on a predetermined figure. They are weakly pressed against the adhesive surface, and, if necessary, adjusted along the contour.

Otherwise, you can fill out the template if you twist dense balls from each piece of colored paper, which also glues the entire silhouette of the drawn Christmas tree. But in such a situation, you will need to work more scrupulously, carefully gluing each element. But here it’s easier to “decorate” the tree right away if you roll several balls out of paper other than green and arrange them in rows diagonally, forming a garland. In the same way, you can simulate Christmas balls, which will look especially interesting if the basis for them is not colored paper, but foil.

And you can make a postcard with a surprise: cut out 3 circles from green paper, each of which is 2-3 cm larger than the others. Thus, their approximate diameters will be 5, 8 and 11 cm. The number of circles can be increased to 5- ty, respectively adding dimensions: they should gradually increase. On each of them, a radius line is drawn to the center, and an incision is made along it with scissors.

Then you need to collect each circle with a fan. Open the card, attach the base of the small circle to the top point inside the fold of the card, glue the sides of the "fan" to its halves. Repeat the same for the rest of the "fans", arranging them so that the largest one is at the bottom: it turns out voluminous Christmas tree, which will appear whenever the card is opened.

How presentable your picture will turn out depends not on the complexity of a particular application, but on the initial idea and arrangement of all elements against the general background. For example, some fashion illustrators supplement their drawings with voluminous applications not only from paper, but also from other small elements: flower petals, beads, beads, etc. In their works, you can find inspiration for your own crafts: for example, do not complete the whole picture through voluminous applications, but only part of it.

Draw the silhouettes of ballerinas, color them in, and add splendor to the skirts due to the application: tear the colored double-sided paper into small pieces and lay it on the glue, without pressing it tightly against the background, so as not to kill the volume. The work will be more painstaking if the paper is cut into long strips that are twisted into “snails”, and these details fill the entire space of the ballet tutus.

A mimosa branch, the template for which looks very simple, can become more interesting if the sides of the oval leaves are turned into a smaller and longer fringe. To do this, the incisions become more frequent and extend to the central vertical, not reaching it by 1-2 mm. And so that not only the leaves, but also the flowers become more alive, pieces of paper for them are cut not in squares, but in an arbitrary shape, then carefully processed with glue and joined together into fluffy, but small balls.

The more chaotically you act, gluing the “petals”, without controlling the order of their connection, the more natural the flowers will look. As a stem, around which leaves and flowers will be located, you can use a soft wire pasted over with dark green velvet paper.

Volumetric paper application: photo

The most interesting are those voluminous applications in which the textures alternate: for example, flat parts can be made of thick cardboard with a velor surface. And soft and voluminous - from thinner paper: corrugated, with a sheen, completely matte. If the craft is dedicated to the holiday, nothing will interfere with final stage decorate it with chopped rain, confetti, and other small paper item mi, which are fixed with transparent glue.

After you manage to master the options for voluminous paper applications proposed in the article, you can try to make quilling products using the same patterns, which are also a kind of voluminous applications, but of a higher level of complexity.

Application (from Latin “attaching”) is an interesting type of artistic activity - it is a way of working with colored pieces of various materials: paper, fabric, leather, fur, felt, colored beads, beads, woolen threads, metal chased plates, all kinds of matter (velvet , satin, silk)., dried leaves…

Paper applique for children can be a very interesting and educational activity. While working with the application, children develop motor skills and imagination. And the important point is also communication with you. Teach your child to see the beauty in the world around us. Help him create something with his own hands. Let at first it will turn out badly, do not forget to praise the child. After the praise, the child will try even harder. Of course, it is easier to do drawing by taking pencils or paints. But believe me, appliqué is much more useful and exciting, it will develop design thinking, tactile sensations, and also help in the study of colors and shapes. In order to do applications, you need to prepare in advance - come up with a plot and make paper blanks ...

MOSAIC FROM PIECES OF PAPER.

Such a mosaic develops fine motor skills well.

The most interesting and accessible for preschool children is an application made of paper in bright colors. The very type of material, the simplicity of its processing stimulate the creative activity of the child, make it easy to master manual skills and abilities.

The paper for the background is most often taken thick, the tone is selected depending on the content of the image in order to emphasize a certain situation. For example, flowers are placed on a green background of a meadow or a meadow, silhouettes of birds are pasted on a blue background of the sky, and fish are pasted against the background of the blue depth of a river or sea.

On paper, draw an outline of the image. For younger children, it is better to draw some objects without small details. For example: flower, butterfly, heart. Now cut out this drawn figure.

Prepare small pieces. paper. Better yet, give this task to the baby. Let him prepare them himself, tearing the flowers with his hands. paper or pictures from magazines. You can also make circles with a hole punch.

Lubricate the cut out form with glue and fill it with pieces of paper. glue the finished form on a sheet of paper or cardboard.

For older children, you can complicate the application by choosing a more complex figure.

APPLICATION FROM GRAINS AND SEEDS.

The use of seeds and cereals to create paintings and crafts always attracts children, and adults also enjoy working with such material.

Very beautiful works are obtained from watermelon, melon and other seeds.

For applications from seeds and cereals, the following materials are needed: cardboard, various seeds, various cereals, paints, felt-tip pens, dried leaves and PVA glue.

1. Draw an image of the future picture on cardboard.
2. Thickly smear this image with PVA glue.
3. Sprinkle grains or seeds on this painting.
This application can be done using one type of cereal, or it can be complicated with the help of different types of cereals.

APPLICATION FOR KIDS FROM LEAVES.

For the application of the leaves you need to prepare in advance.

1. Collect and dry the leaves of the trees between the leaves of the book. in a couple of days the leaves will be ready. If you don’t want to wait, you can speed up this process and dry the leaves with an iron. To do this, wrap the leaves in a napkin and iron with an iron.
2. Now you need to come up with a future composition from the available leaves and select more suitable leaves, flowers, grass for it.
3. On a sheet of paper or cardboard, draw the outline of your picture and spread it with PVA glue.
4. Apply the leaves to the right place and dry at the end.

APPLICATION FOR KIDS FROM NAPKINS.

1. Draw the outline of the picture on a piece of paper.
2. Let the baby tear small napkins or thin paper.
3. Roll the pieces of napkins together into balls.
4. Spread the image with PVA glue and fill the entire space with these balls. Details of the image can be painted in different colors. The result is a voluminous and beautiful picture.

VOLUME APPLICATION FOR KIDS.

While doing applications with your child, you can teach him not only flat images, but also three-dimensional ones. Volumetric application looks more realistic and is perceived by the baby much better. To make voluminous applications, it is better to first wrinkle the paper in your hands, then smooth it out and cut out the desired shape. Next, this form must be glued and you can additionally draw the missing details with felt-tip pens or pencils. You can make for example: a ladybug, a beetle or a turtle ...

Here is an example of "Lily".

For the application you will need:

1. Colored paper
2. glue
3. Styrofoam
4. scissors,
5. pencil

How to make a volumetric lily:

Cut out a leaf in the form of a heart from green paper. Next, cut out petals of the same size from a different color of paper. You can limit yourself to 6 petals, or you can make our lily more magnificent and voluminous, for this you will need more petals. Now we alternately wrap each petal on a pencil and glue it in the center of a green leaf. We make the core from a piece of foam or from other material (sponge, colored paper) That's it, Lily!

FABRIC APPLICATION.

You can prepare in advance and collect the remnants of multi-colored fabric in a certain place. The fabric is desirable to collect a variety of textures and colors. Here it is important to show the baby with an example how the fabric helps to display something more vividly and at the same time easily in the picture.

For example, a fabric with an image of flowers along the contour is cut out and glued. (good glue or klester). and paint on a vase or table. You will get a very colorful and capacious image. There are fabrics that will well depict a house, a hat for a little man, a handbag or an animal's torso.

APPLICATION FROM EGGSHELL.

One of the interesting and exciting ways to create applications is egg mosaic. Paint the shell in different colors with gouache and put to dry. After the shell dries, it is ready for use.
