Every mom and dad try to find an exciting activity for their child that will not only keep him busy for a while, but also have a beneficial effect on the comprehensive development of the baby, make the child improve creative thinking, think, fantasize, learn to concentrate.

Colored paper applications are a great option for your child to have a good time. Older children can do this creative activity on their own, kids from a year old will create their first works together with their parents.

The role of applications in child development

Paper application involves the gradual creation of a picture by gluing elements of various shapes and colors onto a cardboard or paper base. After looking various photos paper applications for children, you will understand what this type of activity is, and what finished work can be obtained at the end of the process.

Paper application technology is quite simple. The child himself, or with the help of his parents, nanny, educator, must come up with what kind of picture he would like to depict, prepare the tools necessary for the creative process, make patterns of elements, cut out small details from paper sheets in turn, which will be needed to recreate the intended image and successively glue them to the chosen base.

So what is the benefit of doing this?

Application creation process:

• develops perseverance;
• improves fine motor skills;
• allows you to remember and distinguish colors and shapes;
• teaches you to be independent;
• instills accuracy;
• teaches patience;
• generates creativity and creative thinking etc.

The role of applications in the development of the child is undoubtedly great. They contribute to the multifaceted and versatile development of the child.

Here are some simple paper appliqué templates that can be useful for the first lessons and introducing kids to the concept of appliqué.

Application examples

Let's try to make a presentation of some of the easiest paper applications with which you can start the process of learning this business.

Ice cream

To create such an application, you need to prepare:

• cardboard or paper base;
• glue;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• colored paper in various shades.

To begin with, on colored leaves, you need to sketch the main elements of the future picture: separately a cone and separately ice cream balls. After, with the help of scissors, it is necessary to cut out these parts. At the next stage, you need to glue small elements in strict sequence: the horn is attached to the base first, then, in turn, popsicle balls.

After the end of the action, the resulting picture can be decorated additional details: cherry, chocolate chips (which also need to be cut out of paper).

Using such a simple algorithm of actions, you can make applications of various types: a plate of fruit, a fish, a bunny, and a house.

Volume application

This version of the execution is a little more complicated, but the result is worth it. Consider how to make an unusually beautiful bulk flower from paper. To create it, you will need the materials indicated above, the only clarification is colored paper should be as thin as possible.

From the base it is necessary to cut out the shape of a flower, it can be, for example, a rosebud or a chamomile inflorescence. After, from paper different colors you need to cut a lot of small pieces and crumple them with your fingers.

Volumetric winter applications made of paper look very beautiful and believable, which will be a wonderful gift for grandparents. new year holidays. On a cardboard basis, you can depict a Christmas tree decorated with colorful balls, and with the help of crumpled pieces of white paper, you can recreate a snowfall or set a snowman.

There are a lot of options for applications created from colored paper, so such an activity will not bother the child, every day he will discover something new and interesting, while improving imaginative and creative thinking, ingenuity, perseverance, discipline and intellect.

Photo of paper applications

Applications for children are one of the most favorite games and fun. But it is precisely by playing that the little ones learn! They are gradually mastered in the world of colors and shapes. And yet, they get satisfaction from the fact that they themselves, with their own hands, can create beauty. And if parents want to help their child, we will suggest ideas for colored paper applications.

What we can offer:

• Schemes and stencils for applications different figures: flowers, animals, insects and fairy tale characters.
• Let's show you how entertaining unconventional techniques applications.
• And, of course, we will give you a lot of positive! We are sure you will have fun with us!

And most importantly, all these children's applications for little ones different ages. And in a year the child will be interested in playing, and the more adult will enjoy this activity. Why? Because we have prepared a collection that includes applications for children with different abilities.

Who said that the plot application is difficult? Even the younger group can handle some types of applications. We will now create a beautiful basket, and there are flowers in it.

What we may need for the application:

• Colored thin paper;
• Cardboard;
• Pencil;
• Stencils;
• Glue.

1. If possible, draw a basket, there is no way to draw it, then you can print it from our website. Choose the color yourself, just remember that there will be flowers on it, and she will be the background for them.
   

   We glue the basket to a thicker paper base or to cardboard. Then our difficult voluminous paper application will hold firmly. Let's start creating.

2. Cut out circles from a sheet of paper using a stencil. A stencil can be different objects: small cups, coins, round bottles, cups. We take paper bright colors, since the pictures should be colorful and joyful. Just the right kind of entertainment for 2-3 year olds, exactly what they love.
   
   
3. We bet on colored part, in the middle of the circle, a pencil and wrap paper around it. In order for us to come out voluminous applications, it is enough to even press the circles a little to the rod.
   
   
4. Without removing the pencil, dip the middle of the future bell or orchid into the glue and press it with a pencil. You can continue, and in the very middle in the same way stick a second circle of smaller diameter to get voluminous poppies and daisies.
   
   

Hedgehog

Applications for the smallest are creativity, where the abilities of even the tiniest fidget are taken into account. And this example with a “hedgehog” is just right for little ones, which by the age of three they still cannot cut and glue, but they will do a great job of participating in the work. How?

1. There are two options for preparing to make this applique for babies. The first. We circle the baby's palm on a sheet of black or brown paper. Cut out. Glue. Four palms will be enough.
   
   
   Second option. Or use finger paints. The child dips his palm, and we help him to put his palm in this way several times, at different inclinations in the upward direction, to make a fan.
2. Cut out something like a boat from paper of the same color. This is the body and nose of the hedgehog (we cut out a small circle and glue the “nose” to the edge of the muzzle).
   
   
3. We place the body under the "needles".
   
   
4. You can draw a mouth and an eye, or make semicircles from red and white paper. Let's not forget the pupils.
   
   
   
   
5. Paper applications would be incomplete without a plot. Make up a story with your child. Our hedgehog comes from the forest, and therefore we will cut out and glue “prey” to it: an apple and a mushroom.
   
   
   
   
6. We supplement the paper application with black small paws.
   
   

Ladybug voluminous

This application is perfect for children 3-4 years old. It is very easy to make.

Application execution sequence:

Flower meadow

This glade is an application in junior group for children 4 years old. It can be any size and color. And several kids can work together on it at the same time. It is important only for each of them to indicate his scope of work.

Lesson in 3 stages:

Little funny chicken

You can make holiday cards in a very original way. This will help the application in the preparatory group.

You need to cut out the following details:

chick

Toddlers think abstractly, such a trifle as the color or shape of a character does not matter to them, if at the same time his image conveys emotions similar to those of children. But how to make the application just such that the baby feels a kindred spirit? Here's a great example!

Meet Chypa! Him:

• The body is a square;
• Eye - 2 circles (black and white, and white with a little more);
• The beak is a triangle;
• The paws are also triangular;
• Wing - a semicircle;
• The crest is a crescent.

And now, trust the little one, let him choose what will be what color! Explain that each figure indicates why the bird is doing this. Is it really interesting? So, finding the right stencils for applications is already a game. It remains only to glue everything!

Sun

We complicate the task. We have to help the kids learn how to make a panel application. There are many details that are both a background and an independent part of the picture. The central part is the mischievous muzzle of the smiling Sun.

Leave the smile to your kitten. Or you can print ready-made muzzles:

And do yourself the preparation of yellow, golden and orange circles of different sizes.

We collect a picture on a blue background.

You can stick circles in the form of rays, or in a circle, the main thing is to alternate their colors. The Sun itself will be placed in the middle of the panel.

Lilac

Probably, a broken appliqué is the sweetest and most gentle thing you can imagine. She just looks so fluffy that I can't believe it's all made. A torn appliqué acquires such an effect due to small uneven parts assembled into one composition.

• Background. There are 2 simple ways create it.
  1) decorate the cardboard with paints;
  2) or, take colored paper and glue it to a stronger base.
  And you can decorate and stick from one, two or more colors.
  
• Vase. An arbitrary shape and color is cut out and glued to the background sheet.
  
• Stems and leaves. A torn appliqué will look even more openwork if you use crepe paper for secondary parts of the picture, such as leaves and stems. Cut out thin strips and small leaves. We glue the stems immediately.
  
  
• Lilac. It is very true when the inflorescences, consisting of many small flowers, are made in the style of a broken appliqué. This will make it possible to depict flowers more realistically. First, we determine the shape and size of the inflorescences. We cut out the silhouette of each of them from a colored napkin. Attach above the stem.
  
  
  Cut the napkins into small squares. We crumple some of them. Others - tear into several parts before crumple. This is a material for crafts in the format of a broken appliqué.
  
  
  
  Lubricate the silhouette of the inflorescences with glue. We press each lump to the silhouette, tightly gathering one to the other, so that there is no gap between them.
  

Bouquet

These are not just flowers, but a structure that will stand. In this case, we will make all parts of the plant. Flowers, leaves and stems. This simple application middle group kids will get used to it very quickly.

1. We fold the green leaf in half so that its colored part is outside. Edge to edge. We fix them. It is very important not to bend too much, just run your hand slightly in the middle.
   
   
   
2. Now you can make cuts from the middle to the edges of the sheet, not reaching the edge of about 1.5-2 cm.
   
   
3. We turn the sheet into a tube and fasten its corners one to the other at the bottom. It turns out a stable construction. We slightly push the “petals” of the bouquet at the top.
   
   
   
4. It will not be difficult to cut flowers of different colors. They are cutely decorated with the middle, which can be made round, heart-shaped, and even triangular or square.
   
   
5. We attach the flowers to the edges of the stems at the top. The bouquet is ready, you can give it!
   
   

Snowman

we did with you Greeting Cards, an invitation to a celebration, paintings and even a memory of your little one's childhood. But now we will try to make a Christmas tree toy.

And since it consists of two bases and 16 circles, we print out templates for applications, this will allow you to quickly, and not linger on preparatory work, go to the design of the toy.

More about preparations. The base is 2 circles of the same size, drawn with a figure eight. Additional circles are equal in diameter to those in the base.
We also need a rope 4 times the length of the base. and decorative beads.

glade

Glade is a multi-composition application in kindergarten for children 5-6 years old. Here we will get acquainted with the models that must first be made, and only then fixed on the basis. Volumetric types of applications are made in such an original pattern.

Our base is blue cardboard. This is the sky. The sun is shining. Grass grows in which flowers bloom. And above them flutter butterflies and dragonflies. All parts are made of paper folded into an accordion.

• Grass. We fold a strip 5 cm wide and 2 times longer than the bottom of the base with an accordion. Cut off the top (approx. 1 cm) at an acute angle. Glue the strip.
  
  
• Flower. We fold a long strip 3-5 cm wide and turn it around in a circle so as to connect the edges. We fix them. The flower is ready. We make several of these products in different colors.
  
  
  
  Do not forget about the stems (glued strips) and leaves (harmonicas in half).
  
  
• Butterfly. Cut off and round the edges of a sheet of paper. Fold across into an accordion. We do the same with the sheet. smaller size and another color.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  We connect 2 sheets in the middle with a strip. We fix them. Straighten the wings.
  
  
• Sun. Glue the top corner with a yellow triangle. We fasten a corrugated strip along its edge, we get rays.
• Dragonfly. We cut out 2 blanks from a simple sheet. One in the form of a figure eight, the second - a droplet. We glue a droplet to the base and a number eight next to it so that corrugated wings fastened in the middle are placed between its circles.
• The glade came to life and blossomed to the delight of the children.
  
  

Piggy bank of master classes on applications + interesting ideas

It's nice to know that made by children different types appliqués, such as torn paper appliqué or crepe appliqué, are a good memory. Yes, and irrefutable evidence that our little ones have talent. The child is developing. And in this we help him.

Templates

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 from a young 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 various 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 of their hands, with the skills to make 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.

An interesting application with the image of winter accessories allows children to show their 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.

By using 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.

Older 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 is an exciting activity that, perhaps, all children love. It looks like a designer or a cartoon. The smallest ones are trusted to cut out thin paper with children's safety scissors, or to stick ready-made particles. When the children are already more confident with scissors, you can gradually introduce them to different ways making an application.

Instructions on how to make an application out of paper

There are all kinds of master classes on colored paper applications, so there is an opportunity to attend such classes and learn a lot of interesting and informative things for yourself.

But first, we will try to introduce you to some options, and we will try to give you some good advice who will answer main question beginners - how to make an application with your own hands?

Breakaway application

This is an amazing option to convey the peculiarity of the desired image (hedgehog, curly lamb, fluffy cloud). We take paper of the required color and tear it into chaotic shreds and compose one or another image.

Older children (6-8 years old) can complicate the task - pluck the desired figure from colored paper with neat jerks.

overhead application

This is a classic common option most often used in schools. Parts are cut out and glued, and each next one should be a certain size smaller than the previous one. It turns out a colorful and voluminous application of the desired image.

Modular application

It is also called a mosaic. The figure is laid out in the same forms of different colors. It can be circles, squares, rhombuses.

Interesting fact! It has been proven that a child already at 11 months old can make applications. Initially, these are just randomly torn pieces glued onto paper pre-lubricated with glue. However, the conscious carving of any objects comes much later, which develops into skillful possession of this skill.

Everyone knows that on International Women's Day in all kindergartens and schools it is customary to make all kinds of crafts and applications for mothers and grandmothers. There are a lot of ideas, you just have to give free rein to your imagination and you can make an incredibly fabulous and pleasant surprise from improvised materials.

The most popular is homemade postcard with application in the form of a bouquet of spring flowers. To do this, you must have a sheet of thick, plain cardboard, glue, scissors and colored paper.

These are pretty simple paper applications for beginners of this art. It is worth showing imagination and you will definitely get a wonderful gift for our dear women.

On the eve of the New Year, I want to make a real pleasant surprise. Now is the time when handmade is truly a luxury. Already tired of standard and annoying souvenirs, I want something new, exquisite, so that it is meaningful and done with soul!

Any gift made with one's own hand is valued much higher than that purchased in stores and supermarkets. And it is a pity that there are less and less skillful hands, and not everyone is already striving to make a wonderful surprise with their own hands.

A Christmas tree card is an interesting solution for those who are used to surprise and delight their loved ones and relatives. We are ready to provide photos of various colored paper applications. We hope that they will push you to new ideas and accomplishments.

For Valentine's Day, you can make an application in the form of a heart. To do this, you will need a very thick bright red cardboard, PVA glue, needlework scissors and colored paper.

From the same cardboard, cut out a heart half the size of the main one. Stick on front side. If you take various glitters to everything, then the result of your efforts will be simply amazing!

Children's crafts made of colored paper allow children to develop motor skills, imagination, as well as the ability to create. And if you develop a child in given direction since the days of kindergarten, then believe in primary school he will be able to make such applications that even adults cannot do them!

Photo of applications from colored paper

Volumetric paper application - a unique look children's creativity which can be used to glue volumetric figures animals, robots, cartoon characters, houses and even letters of the alphabet. The templates and diagrams that are on our website will help you with this.

How to do it right?

Although the name "volumetric appliqué" sounds unusual, it is not difficult to make it. To do this, just print ready-made templates or diagrams, cut them out and glue them along the fold lines. Application templates are made in such a way that by bending and gluing them along the marked lines, you can get voluminous toy.

Most of the templates are already in color, so you will need to print them on a color printer. However, there are also colorless schemes, on which only conditional lines are indicated. It is enough to apply glue to the side parts of the workpiece and fold it as required by the diagram. If you decide to color such a blank, you must do this in advance, since it will be difficult to color the application in bulk.

Here are some examples of such applications.

Templates

Pyramid

This is the simplest application that a child can easily make.

1. Print the template.
2. Cut along the outline.
3. If you want to make a colored pyramid, you need to color it before forming the pyramid, or simply cut out a template from colored paper.
4. Bend the parts of the workpiece intended for gluing.
5. Spread them with glue and form a pyramid.

Colored toys

This application is a little more complicated, but the principle of its operation is the same. It does not need to be painted: just print it on a color printer.

1. Cut out the printed template.
2. Fold the template along the fold lines.
3. Lubricate the "wings" with glue and assemble SpongeBob.
4. Check that the glued parts are firmly attached.

poppy flower

And now let's try a more complex application - we will make a poppy flower.

1. Print out flower templates. If you decide to make a bouquet, you will need several blanks.
2. Cut out the components of the appliqué.
3. Lay the flower corolla blanks on top of each other so that the petals of the upper one are in the gaps between the petals of the lower one.
4. Glue the whisk, giving it a three-dimensional shape.
5. Glue the black center inside.
6. Glue the leaves on the outside of the flower at equal distances from each other.
7. If you are forming a bouquet, then each flower can be placed on a wire stem wrapped in colored paper. Also, flowers can be glued on a postcard or a pre-prepared base.

Such voluminous applications will look natural and just great.

Templates

So you can make almost any flowers by printing blanks from the site or by preparing voluminous applications from different colored paper. Here, for example, is a magnificent carnation. However, unlike the poppy, this appliqué is more complicated, since you will have to form a corolla of a flower from six parts.

dog house

And here is another more complex application. From three main parts, you can fold a booth for a dog.

1. Print out the templates and cut them out along the outline.
2. Fold along the fold lines.
3. Attach the walls to the base of the booth, forming a cube with two pentagonal walls.
4. Glue the green roof on top.

The booth is ready. If you don't have a color printer at home, you can cut out the details from colored paper or simply color the blanks.

Corrugated paper

To a greater extent, corrugated paper has to create a volumetric application. It is initially a little convex, and if you use this quality correctly, you can do interesting things.

cornflowers

1. Prepare the base for the application. It can be cardboard or thick colored paper that is not impregnated with glue.
2. We apply the contours of the drawing on the base in advance.
3. From corrugated paper of blue color(you can take paper of any shade) cut out small squares measuring 1 sq.cm.
4. Place a pencil in the center of each square and twist it slightly so that the squares take on a three-dimensional look.
5. Without removing the pencil, apply glue to the end of the square and stick it.
6. Fill the whole picture with such squares.

This technique of application of corrugated paper is called "trimming". It is good because the flaws are almost invisible. It is simple enough that even toddlers can do it.

hedgehogs

These voluminous applications made of colored corrugated paper are simple, but they look just great.

1. Prepare the base. It can be a box of sweets, colored paper, a postcard, etc.
2. Fold a sheet of crepe paper 4 or 5 times.
3. Draw 2 circles. To make them even, you can use a compass, a cup or a glass.
4. Cut out the circles. For one hedgehog, 10-15 circles are required.
5. Glue the circles, applying glue only in the center. The edges must remain free.
6. Make frequent cuts and fluff the ends.
7. Cut out a triangular hedgehog face from cardboard and glue it to the body.
8. Place the hedgehogs on the base.
9. Eyes, mouth and nose can be drawn with a black felt-tip pen or cut out of black paper and glued on.
10. In the same way, flowers and grass for a clearing can be made from corrugated paper by folding the paper and making cuts on it.

Here are some hedgehogs you can get.

How to make a 3D paper card?

Applications from ordinary colored or corrugated paper can be made at home, in a kindergarten or an aesthetic center. They are extremely useful for toddlers, as they develop a sense of color, artistic taste, spatial thinking and a sense of composition. Cutting and gluing will have a beneficial effect on fine motor skills children and speech development.
