Applications “Hello, summer!” for children in kindergarten and primary school

Summer time is a wonderful time to relax and devote yourself and your child to creativity. You can make countless wonderful and easy-to-make projects from the most ordinary things: flowers, shells, river stones, ears of corn, leaves. No child or adult will remain indifferent.

Keeping your child busy with such pleasant little things is not only pleasant, but also useful, as it contributes to the development of his creative thinking, hand motor skills, and brings positive emotions.

For younger children

Crafts for children 3-4 years old seem like something magical to them. Children are proud of the work they have done and are happy to show it off to others. When choosing an idea, remember that children's motor skills are different from those of adults. Details should be large and simple. It is advisable to prepare the preparations in advance.

Children of primary preschool age should be creative. This contributes to the harmonious development of personality. Preschool educational institutions conduct weekly group classes. The task of parents is to reinforce these skills.

Crafts from plasticine

Children 3-4 years old do not know how the learning process works. There is no need to rush when working together. All movements must be slow and accompanied by a voice explanation.

Postcards, gift bags, bookmarks and even entire compositions can be created from ordinary dried flowers. Such crafts can easily decorate your apartment!

Summer crafts have always been distinguished by their brightness and originality. In winter, such homemade products help you return to summer, remember your vacation, the smell of summer flowers and the sound of the surf.

Lubricate the silhouette of the cat generously with glue and glue the cotton wool to the background in the drawn place, giving it the shape of a cat. Press the cotton wool onto the background with your fingers.

Man in motion: the basics of creating an application

Many parents find it very difficult to depict dynamics or movement in static appliqué, especially for young children. The technique of geometric appliqué will help you cope with this task, helping you to study the structure of the body and convey dynamics, and become familiar with the names of different poses:

  • to create human figures in a certain pose, standard blanks from geometric shapes are used;
  • arms and legs (from double thin strips), a wide strip for the body, a square for the head, it is better to prepare in advance;
  • the best option would be to use checkered notebook sheets, which will help you make a lot of blanks;
  • on a white paper base it is easy to depict little people in different poses, while at the same time voicing them to the child in sound form.

This technique is used to create full-fledged applications of playing people, studying the structure of the body, which can perform various actions familiar to the child. During the lesson, you can make a picture depicting figures playing football, doing exercises and picking flowers, raising their hands or swimming in the water.
