How to make a beautiful applique from colored paper. Paper crafts for children: interesting DIY applications. Application "Chamomile flowers"

Any type of creative activity develops a child’s imagination, perception of colors, textures and shapes, and contributes to the formation of spatial and imaginative thinking in general. Thanks to working with applications, kids learn diligence, patience and perseverance. Applique is the simplest and most accessible form of creativity for a child, because children from the age of 2 can glue cut-out figures onto cardboard.

Applications made from colored paper

For most crafts you will need:

Colored paper or cardboard
Scissors
Markers

For children under 3 years old

Finger crafts

For such a lamb or dandelion you will need:

Pre-cut blanks for a muzzle, eyes and legs or stems for a dandelion.
White non-toxic paint: watercolor or gouache.

Glue the blanks onto the background, mark the boundaries - the circumference of a flower or a lamb. First, you show what needs to be done, and then let the child dip his fingers in the paint and leave fingerprints on the paper, without going beyond the drawn line.

Crafts-stamps from pompoms

Another type of craft that even the little ones can do.

To make this craft the following is used:

Pom-poms as stamps,
Paints.

Craft ideas: Christmas tree, Easter eggs, ice cream scoops, clouds, tree crown, yellow chickens.

Caterpillar made of circles

First, you will need to draw a line on paper - the basis of the future caterpillar, and then place the circles you cut out on this line. After that, remove them and show the child where to glue the circles.

Ice cream

For this ice cream you will need:

Stationery glitter,
Cosmetic cotton pads.

Cut out an ice cream cone from paper or cardboard, paint cotton sponges yellow, blue and pink. The child’s task is to stick a cone and “balls” of ice cream on paper. Sprinkle the top of the cotton pads with multi-colored glitter, which can be found in any stationery store.

Rabbit from cotton pads and plasticine

Materials:

Plasticine,
Spaghetti optional
Cotton pads - 4 pcs.

You cut one disk in half - these will be the ears, and the second into 4 parts - these will be the rabbit's legs. Spaghetti is used as a mustache, but they can also be made from plasticine. Form balls from plasticine or you can ask your child to make them. Then the child simply glues the details of the craft onto paper, and you make antennae for the rabbit.

Multilayer applications

At the age of 2-3 years, children especially love multi-layered appliqués.

You cut out the parts, show them in what order they need to be glued, and entrust the task to your child.

There is a second option for this craft - print a stencil, cut out parts from it and paint them with paints.

For them you will need:

Green felt-tip pen or marker,
Cotton pads.

Cut two cotton pads in half - this will be snow, then cut out snowdrop flowers from the discs and green leaves from paper. And the child is already gluing the details of the flower onto the paper.

For children from 3 to 5 years old

These applications are more complex; the child will have to independently cut out simple parts and glue them onto paper.

Bunny

For it you need:

Colored paper for background,
Green for the grass
Pink or red for ears and nose.

The child cuts out the parts according to the template, pastes them onto the background and draws the bunny’s mustache and eyes with a felt-tip pen (if there are no blanks).

To make ladybugs we will use red and black paper or cardboard.

Cut out 4 circles from red paper and 1 oval from black paper. We cut the oval in half, glue its parts onto the background, then glue one red circle, as shown in the image - the ladybug itself, and on top of the fold we glue the second circle, which will be the wings. We do the same with the second bug, then draw dots with black markers. Eyes can be made from paper or drawn with a felt-tip pen.

What you will need:

Colored paper - dark blue or black for the background, red for the apples, brown for the basket and green for the leaves.

Cut out apples from red paper. We cut the brown paper into 3 long strips and 2 slightly shorter ones. Cut out leaves for apples from green paper. First we glue two apples, then 2 short strips on the side - the edges of the basket. Then we glue two strips, one on top of the apples, the other on the bottom. Glue on another apple. And the final touch is the strip from the basket in the middle.

First we cut out an oval, which will be the penguin. Then two black hearts are the wings, one white one will be the belly, two orange ones will be the legs and one pink one will be the decoration.

Now let the child simply glue the details onto the background step by step.

Goose made of cotton wool and seeds

Materials for the goose:

cotton wool,
Colored orange napkins or white napkins and orange paint,
Pumpkin seeds.

First, draw the outline of a goose on paper.

Glue cotton wool along the contour, glue pumpkin seeds onto the goose’s wing.

We tear the napkin into small pieces and make lumps out of them. We glue these lumps onto the beak and paws of the goose.

Use a felt-tip pen or marker to draw eyes.

Paper lamb

You can draw such a lamb yourself, cut out the parts from cardboard and paste them onto a stencil, or print out a stencil and paint it. Using this method, you can make other animals - a rabbit, a cat, a dog or an elephant.

Drawing on cardboard with a simple pencil outline of the peacock, cut it out.

We cut out several circles from colored paper (how fluffy the tail will be depends on their number), cut each of them into 4 parts.

From one such part we make an accordion, repeat the same with the rest and glue them into a fluffy tail.

Cactus

Necessary materials:

Paper: white for the background, green for the cactus and red for the flowers and spines.

In order to make such a cactus, you need to cut out: 3 large circles - this is the largest part of the cactus, which is located at the bottom in the image, 12 circles are slightly smaller in diameter and 3 small circles are the upper part of the cactus. We glue one large circle from below, and on both sides of it we glue two medium circles from above. From the right middle circle up to the left another middle one “grows” and from it up to the right - the smallest one. When the base of the cactus is ready, glue the rest of the corresponding size circles onto these circles and bend them in half. We repeat this procedure a third time and again bend the circles in the middle. Cut small spines from red paper and cut out flowers. Glue all the parts onto the cactus - and you're done!

Apple tree

From green and red paper, cut out approximately 20 green stripes and 10 red ones. Draw the outline of a tree on brown cardboard, cut it out and paste it onto the background. We glue the ends of the strips together to form a circle, and glue it onto the “tree trunk”.

Snowman

The technique for making a snowman is similar to the previous one: we cut out several long strips from white paper, connect their ends - we get a circle. We connect several of these circles together to form a sphere - this is the body of the snowman. We do the same with the head, but for this we use slightly shorter strips. We make a scarf from the red stripe and wrap it around the snowman's neck. Using a felt-tip pen we draw eyes, a mouth and buttons. To make a carrot nose, cut out 1/4 of a circle as on a stencil and roll it into a cone. For the hat, cut out a circle and cut it like a sun.

Bouquet of flowers using quilling technique

At this age, children are already able to create more complex crafts, such as this bouquet.

Quilling is a technique for creating three-dimensional appliqués from rolled strips of paper.

To create such an application you will need:

4 green strips of paper for stems,
10 shorter ones for leaves,
1 long pink one for a bow,
5 stripes of red, yellow and blue.

First, we glue long strips of stems onto the background, and glue a bow on top. We glue the ends of the shorter green strips together, slightly squeeze the resulting circle to form an oval from it - these are flower leaves. We twist yellow, red and blue stripes to make flower buds and glue them onto the craft.

Rose from a lace napkin

This craft looks very beautiful and is extremely easy to make.

All you need to do is cut off the edge of the lace napkin and carefully twist it into a flower, so that you get a rose.

Rose made of colored paper

We draw a spiral on red cardboard, cut out a strip along the line and begin to twist it with our fingers until we get a bud.

The stem for the flower can be made from colored wire.

Cut out leaves from green paper and glue to the stem. Rose is ready!

Fish - chessboard

This application is made without glue. To begin, draw the outline of the fish on colored paper and cut it out. We bend the fish in half and start making cuts in the middle. They start approximately after the head and end before the tail. Next, cut out strips of different colors and different lengths which form the fin.

We insert a strip of one color, for example, orange, in “waves” so that one part is above the cut and the other below it. Same with other stripes. The result should be a checkerboard pattern.

Volume machine

Another quite interesting application, which is also very easy to perform.

All you have to do is print out the template, color the car, cut it out and make two cuts on the protruding part at the end.

This article contains 25 of the most interesting applications and templates for DIY paper crafts for children. It’s no secret that any form of creativity develops a child’s thinking. Paper crafts are a wonderful activity that develops perseverance and patience. In turn, working with scissors, glue, plasticine and cutting out parts of crafts develops fine motor skills hands

These crafts are suitable for both home games and classroom activities. kindergarten or class. The youngest children can make simple applications that require sticking several figures onto paper. From the age of 3-4, when children begin to master scissors, they can already cut out simple objects from paper and glue them together. Since school age children are already able to make more complex crafts: for example, making applications using the quilling technique or cutting out small figures with big amount details.

Butterflies, dragonflies They will also look great in the meadow. They are very easy to make using a template.

Cut out a variety of leaves .

Plants catch our eye every minute, and often we do not notice their beauty. You can transfer the original lines onto paper and use these elements in various decorative works. Paper leaves are interesting and unusual and perfectly enrich compositions.

Now on the shelves of stationery and bookstores you can find many offers with blanks. We used these with our eldest son, but it’s great to come up with something ourselves!

Planar work with three-dimensional elements is perfect for joint creativity with a preschooler.

Do not forget! Working with a child younger age should not be filled with small parts. All preparation will rest on the shoulders of a caring mother.

But you can trust the older child more independent activity. Let him participate in all stages of manufacturing the final product. This will emphasize the significance of the child’s endeavors. Will increase the offspring's self-esteem.

2. Volumetric compositions

This image includes crafts that can be placed on a table or hung (on a Christmas tree, on a chandelier, etc.)

Crafts in which the template is "circle" .

This decoration can be hung as a toy on the Christmas tree if you add a string.

Figures consisting made of two mirror halves . An older child already has the skill to use scissors. We bend the sheet in half, apply a design and cut it out together with the young master. We expand it and get the whole piece. You can add details at the discretion of your dreamer.

We tried making piglets and a giraffe.

It is important to take into account the balance in crafts - the heaviness of the front and back parts of the figurine. To prevent animals from falling, you should bend your neck, head, and legs correctly.

The shapes are interesting using cones . These are balls, flowers and animals. You can use individual elements in the form of round pointed pyramids. Or cones glued together on a circle-shaped base.

Many of the most difficult and beautiful work They are based on simple templates.

Tools and necessary materials

We will need some items without which we cannot make a craft.

Colored plain, corrugated or printer paper.
Glue (I most often use stationery in the form of a pencil).
Scissors, if children are small, are best used with rounded edges.
Ruler.
A simple pencil.
A stem for a flower; when working with boys, I use straws for cocktails or children’s straws for juices. The bend of the tube can be interestingly played out or cut.

* You can ask your child what such a ball looks like, and then together remember all the familiar berries.

* Let the child roll up as many of these rowan berries as he wants.

2. To make leaves, you need a green napkin. Cut rowan leaves from such a napkin. One leaf consists of several layers of green tissue.

To make a leaf, you need to fold the napkin in half lengthwise, then twist one of the ends to make a twig.

3. After making several branches, you can glue the leaves.

*You can use several shades of green to make the applique more realistic.

Application "Chamomile flowers"

You will need:

Colored paper (white, yellow, green)

Colored cardboard (in this case blue color)

1. Cut out one circle from yellow paper - this will be the middle of the flower.

2. Cut a strip of white paper 5 mm wide and 7-8 cm long.

2.1 Fold the strip into a loop and glue the ends.

* The petal can be any size.

2.2 You need to make a few more petals.

3. To assemble the flower, glue the petals onto the yellow circle (this must be done from the wrong side).

Application in kindergarten: "Lake"

You will need:

Colored paper

Cardboard (in this case blue)

Watermelon seeds

Plasticine (if desired)

PVA glue

Scissors.

1. Prepare blue cardboard and cut out a large oval from it, which will serve as the basis for the entire application.

2. Making water lilies.

Prepare double-sided colored paper. From it you can make water lilies, reeds and sedges.

2.1 First, draw water lily leaves on green paper and then cut them out.

2.2 To make three-dimensional flowers, use yellow double-sided paper, from which you need to cut out several small identical circles.

2.3 Now make a fold on each yellow circle - you will get a small cap.

2.4. Use glue to create inflorescences from blanks - just put one cap into another and glue them together.

3. Glue the leaf along with the flower to a large oval, which plays the role of a lake.

4. Making reeds.

Prepare green and brown paper.

4.1 Roll the green paper into a tube to make a stem (for convenience, you can use a toothpick to wrap it in paper).

4.2 You need to cut the paper from the bottom and bend it a little, so you can glue the stem to the base.

4.3 Now the top of the stem can be sealed with brown paper.

5. Making bushes.

Prepare rectangles from several shades of green paper. Cut these rectangles into noodles, make bushes out of them, and then glue them along the shores of the lake.

6. Making local inhabitants.

You can do this item if you want to further decorate your applique.
