Creative workshop for young children
Applique classes with directed guidance and using age-appropriate methods and techniques have a great educational and developmental effect.
Children successfully master the technical skills of appliqué operations: laying out, composing a whole from individual parts, practicing evenly placing elements across the sheet area; successfully master sensory standards; acquire initial search skills; learn basic teamwork skills; actively communicate with each other and the teacher.
The experience children gain at an early age in composing subject or plot images using ready-made forms ensures the development of imaginative vision, as well as the formation of the prerequisites for a plot drawing and the development of coherent speech at later age stages.
Skills and abilities developed at an early age in comparing and contrasting, finding what is the same and what is different, and identifying what is important contribute to the accelerated development of analytical and synthetic processes, the ability to combine and transform, which is one of the components of a child’s successful education at school.

Tips for successful work
Before you begin your chosen work, you should listen to the following tips:
- Prepare all required materials in advance.
- Scissors for children should first of all be safe, so they are suitable only with rounded ends.
- Consider protecting your work surface. It is better to cover it with oilcloth, and put special plastic boards for modeling.
- When painting with paints, you should make sure that the water is not very cloudy. After completing the drawing, it is good to cover the paints to prevent them from drying out, and wash your hands well.
- When sculpting, if there is no goal to dry the material, you need to wrap it in a suitable material: clay - in a piece of damp cloth, plasticine - in plain paper.
- Markers should be stored with their caps tightly closed.
- It is good to sharpen pencils with a sharpener.

- Cut an oval out of pink paper and glue it to the base. This will be the tummy.
- All that remains is to draw the eyes with eyelashes, a nose and two teeth.
Educational crafts for kids can be good helpers in studying many topics. For example, when studying shapes, you can make a chest of drawers from matchboxes and label each one with a certain meaning: circle, triangle, square. Then cut out these shapes from colored cardboard. This way the child will learn not only to cut out the simplest shapes, but also to sort them correctly.
