Applique technique
One of the most attractive activities for children is appliqué. Kids are delighted with the brightness of the paper used and the variety of materials; they really enjoy cutting out figures, laying them out and gluing them. There are quite a lot of types of applique according to the execution technique. Let's look at what a machine made in the most familiar way (from paper), but using different types of manufacturing, will look like.
Tear-off applique “Funny Car”
This method allows you to convey the texture of the image and create the image in bright colors. For this work you need multi-colored candy wrappers, cardboard, scissors, a brush, and glue.
Execution sequence:
- do not tear the candy wrappers too finely;
- Glue the resulting pieces onto the base (cardboard, landscape sheet), trying not to leave gaps, and let dry thoroughly;
- on the reverse side draw the outline of the car;
- carefully cut out the silhouette according to the design;
- turn over, finish the job by gluing the wheels, windows, headlights.
The resulting work can be a wonderful gift in the form of a postcard. By the way, you can diversify the picture with flowers and trees made in the same style.
Overlay applique
This technique makes it possible to create a multi-color image. The main point in this type is the preparation of templates from colored paper. Fragments are superimposed and glued layer by layer onto the drawn outline of the car. It is very important to follow the sequence of performing such an application. First, large-sized elements are glued, and smaller ones are glued onto them.
Ideas for younger ones
Among the most interesting topics and works, applications on the environment should be highlighted. It is so important for children at a young age to contact the world around them and develop their perception. To encourage this topic, you can create abstract applications from geometric shapes.
Traffic light applique
For this simple work we need a rectangle and circles of colored paper of the appropriate color. All children need to do is trace the figures on cardboard, carefully cut them out, and apply them to a sheet of cardboard using glue.
Applique Machine
An applique machine made of colored paper for kids is one of the most favorite themes! It will be especially interesting for boys. For this application, you can create a ready-made template and distribute it to children. Children cut out the car body according to a template (everyone can make a car from their favorite color), after which wheels and other additional parts are cut out. The entire detailing process depends on how detailed your vehicle will be.
Applications from postcards
For this kind of application, it is enough to circle any stencil on cardboard and stick the application mosaic on it. Old postcards or photographs will work great. To do this, you can finely cut pieces of the postcard, after which the material is applied to the adhesive surface. It turns out to be quite an interesting abstract work. You can make a fish, a leaf, fairy-tale characters or your favorite cartoon characters.
Mosaic (modular application)
This technique is based on geometric figures of different sizes, colors, and textures.
Let's try to make the “Truck” applique using the mosaic method. What is needed for this:
- Prepare the necessary parts. They can be made “by eye”, or adhere to certain sizes. Colored paper is used for this work.
- We lay out the blanks in front of the baby and help him choose the priority parts.
- Together we lubricate each part of the truck and stick it on a sheet: the long rectangle is glued first and smoothed out thoroughly (the kids do this process very diligently);
- Next, the cabin is glued - first we glue a rectangle in a vertical position, and then a square (car hood);
- then we decorate the cabin with windows;
- Finally, we glue the circles - wheels.
The work is not at all difficult, the kids enjoy doing it. A small nuance - in order to interest the child in the upcoming process, involve him in the preparation (put on an apron, prepare the necessary things for work and the workplace itself). During the manufacture of the truck, you can recite all the actions, examine the figures, and pay attention to the color and size of the parts.
Symmetrical applique
This technique is good because the child will clearly see (and try to do it himself) the receipt of two completely identical samples. Using this type of application, you can make an application from the series: cars that help people.
"Important Fire Truck"
Together with the children, prepare and cut out the necessary parts using the paper folding method. The sheet is folded in half and a certain contour is applied. By cutting out and unfolding the sheet, you will get absolutely identical parts, for example, absolutely even, round, identical wheels, rectangular windows, doors, cabin, stairs. The preparatory stage of this technique is very attractive to children. They are very serious about making the correct machine parts, so this type of transport is extremely important in difficult firefighting situations.
War machine
If a child is interested in military equipment, then he will be interested in assembling some kind of military vehicle.
In this case, there are two options for a military vehicle.
The first option is using the finished printout presented below:
The second option is to create a car based on the principle of a fire engine.
To create such a car, various boxes are also selected, connected to each other and painted or covered with paper of the required color.
Tape appliqué method
This method is somewhat similar to the symmetrical technique of visual activity. The difference is in the number of identical figures. To get the selected silhouettes, you will need a sheet of paper (width and length selected in accordance with the intended image), fold it like an accordion, draw an outline and cut out the image.
This method complements the application itself well. For example, a truck is carrying New Year's gifts to children. The truck is made using the most common technique - gluing templates, but using the tape method you can create a background: an alley of fir trees or trees.
Silhouette applique
This method is used when working with older children who are proficient with scissors.
"Ambulance"
To complete this work, you must first make sketches. First, the outline of the car is drawn, carefully cut out and glued to the base. Then we draw the wheels, cut them out, and glue them to the car. In the same way we make windows and a red cross. Alternatively, the car can be drawn with wheels.
Paper applique is the most familiar, familiar and easy way to make an attractive craft with your baby. However, there are many types of this fine art that use completely different materials.
Seeds and cereals in application
Special attention is paid to the development of fine motor skills, as they play an important role in the development of the baby’s speech. Therefore, kindergartens use various themes of cereal appliqué.
“Naughty bus” - semolina applique
What you need to prepare for this craft:
- semolina;
- cardboard, size and color are selected individually;
- PVA glue and brushes;
- simple pencil, paints, gouache;
- markers.
Draw a bus on cardboard with a simple pencil. This will allow, if necessary, to adjust the silhouette. Then we will outline the outline with a felt-tip pen to clearly highlight all the elements and details of the transport. We glue the parts separately with a brush, sprinkle them with semolina, let them dry and thoroughly shake off the remaining semolina. At first we work together with the child, then you can invite him to do the work on his own. When sprinkling the cereal, you need to draw the baby’s attention to ensure that the contours outlined with a felt-tip pen do not fall asleep. This will come in handy when applying paint. When the bus is ready, we begin painting. You can first select an illustration with a funny bus. We use paint or gouache. The work will look more interesting if you make a frame from the same semolina and paint it.
Working with semolina will give your baby a large number of indescribable tactile sensations. In the process of making this application, variations are possible with various cereals and seeds.
Appliqué lesson in the senior group
The implementation of applications in the senior group is based mainly on a combination of different geometric shapes
This is interesting. Applique is a very ancient art form. Initially, our ancestors used it to appease the gods and performed it on animal skins as a basis. For the image itself, fur, leaves, etc. were used. In the Middle Ages, applique became the property of knights, who, by making amulets, protected themselves from the enemy. Today, appliqué is considered an integral attribute of children's creative development.
Applications are perceived by many adults as one of the ways to keep children busy and to please their relatives with touching crafts - they say, the day in kindergarten was not in vain. But in fact, the role of this type of composition is much more significant. After all, the application develops
- logical thinking (by reinforcing the concepts of geometric shapes, children try to transform them from one to another, for example, from a circle to a hexagon);
- creative abilities (as well as a sense of composition, because the children will have to correctly and beautifully distribute the details on the base sheet);
- ability to work in a team and benefit from the experience of other people;
- the ability to independently cut out parts;
- develops finger motor skills and visual acuity;
- promotes neatness.
Tasks
The teacher’s goal is to involve children in the preparatory stage as much as possible, as this develops in them
- responsibility for the quality of the result (if you haven’t prepared some detail in advance, then the craft may not work out at all);
- ability to plan your work;
- sense of time (when you need to calculate how much to spend on preparation so that there is time left for creativity).
Preparatory stage on the topic
Children should definitely be involved in the preparation of appliqué classes, so they will develop responsibility for the results of their work
The imagination of a kindergarten teacher can only be compared with the imagination of the child himself.
Materials
To make applications as part of the study of modes of transport, in particular trolleybuses, you can use
- paper;
- cardboard (including thick paper, which is used for packaging men's shirts);
- pieces of fabric;
- plasticine;
- natural materials (for example, leaves, pine cones, acorns), etc.
These materials can be used both for making the trolleybus itself and for the base for the picture. To decorate or decorate a trolleybus (for example, an advertising banner on the body), you can offer sequins, adhesive rhinestones, colored confetti, etc.
Of course, without the material and technical base there will be no work. So little creators need to be provided
- comfortable chairs standing near the tables;
- necessary supplies (scissors, glue, tablecloth for creativity).
What size parts are appropriate?
Despite the fact that children in the older group are almost adults, it is still difficult for them to work with crafts whose dimensions exceed the parameters of a standard A4 sheet. So in the case of a trolleybus, you should limit the size of the base and the figure itself. Since in the process of work it is necessary to repeat information about geometric shapes, the size of small parts should be such that children can not only turn, for example, a circle into a hexagon, but also be able to count the angles of the resulting figure without covering it entirely with their own fingers. So the optimal applique size is A4 for the base and ½ A 4 for the trolleybus itself.
What can children do?
The guys in the older group already have an idea of working with applications: they often do it in class. So it is quite reasonable that the preparation of parts and accessories falls on their shoulders. Thus, kids can be given a number of instructions.
- Prepare the necessary tools. Usually this is a special box in a closet in a group where scissors, glue, brushes, etc. are located, that is, the guys just have to take it out of the box and lay out everything that each “creator” needs.
- Organize your workspace. Cover the tables with oilcloth and position a chair so that it is comfortable to sit and work.
- Cut the blanks according to the pattern suggested by the teacher. If we are talking about paper applique, then these are circles-wheels, a rectangle-interior, squares-windows, as well as strips for rod-collectors (what we call “horns”).
Motivation
As a motivating task, you can illustrate the movements of finger gymnastics with a short poem about a trolleybus
In order for the preparatory stage not to absorb all the enthusiasm of little artists, the little ones need to be properly motivated before starting to perform the actual application. There are several options that can be used alone or in different combinations.
Survey
To begin with, you should ask the kids how they get to the kindergarten. After the answers “by car”, “by bus”, etc. follow, we can move on to the conclusion that all these types of modes of transportation are called “transport”. And the last “bridge” to the topic: a task to list the types of transport known to children.
Riddle poems
Children love to answer in chorus.
For example,
I'm running, holding on to the wires
I will never get lost!
- Oh, what a long mustache! You can get hooked! Why don't you, my friend, shave in the morning!? -What are these strange words? I don’t have a mustache, but two! “The most important thing for us is the mustache!” - Everyone will say troll-boo-sy!
Fairy tales
This is one of the most effective techniques not only to motivate children to complete a task, but also to develop the speech of little toddlers.

The Tale of the Sad Trolleybus
In one city fleet there lived different cars: buses, trolleybuses, taxis. They all served the people faithfully and reliably. We got up very early, with the first rays of the awakening sun, and went to bed very late, when the night had cast a starry blanket over the city, when all the girls and boys had been asleep for a long time and were seeing wonderful dreams. New Year was approaching. The most fabulous and joyful holiday in the world. Decorated forest beauty trees sparkled in the houses. Balls and Christmas tree decorations sparkled, and the garlands on the city Christmas tree set up in the square sparkled and shimmered in the light. The city was waiting for the approach of the holiday, gifts for small and large - everyone, everyone, everyone from Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. More and more often, children clapped their hands in delight at the multi-colored rockets and loud firecrackers flying into the sky. But the old trolleybus had none of this and therefore it stood sad and was no longer happy about anything. The seats in his cabin were old, and almost all of them had been cut up by thin, sharp razors by bad boys. Someone was constantly littering the cabin: seeds and pieces of paper were lying here and there. People didn’t want the trolleybus to be clean, comfortable, and that made him even sadder, he even wanted to cry. By morning, the frost moved through the trees, grew frost on them, silvered the needles of the pine trees, painted the windows of the trolleybus with wonderful, magical patterns, made him smile a little, just a little, just a little. - Why are you so sad? – Morozko asked him. - Everyone has a holiday, New Year is coming, but I don’t have a holiday. “I’m old, almost useless to anyone,” the trolleybus answered him. “It’s not right to celebrate the New Year like that!” Open the doors, please, and turn on the headlights, I will sweep you up, clear you of papers and seeds. “Please,” the trolleybus answered indifferently and opened the doors for Frost. Frost whistled, the wind swirled the debris and brought the trolleybus interior to perfect cleanliness. Blizzard wiped off the backs and seats with a white towel, wiped the dim light bulbs and they glowed brightly and cheerfully. The old trolleybus smiled, hummed with joy, and the engine started working. - Thank you, Morozko. “No, miracles are just beginning,” Morozko answered him. – Now, when you leave the car park and your horns touch the wires, don’t be afraid, I have prepared a small gift for you, New Year is coming soon. Frost and I will try to keep you from being sad. You'll see what happens. Blinking its clean headlights, the trolleybus looked around the interior in which it would today transport passengers - children and adults. The salon was clean and beautiful, it was time to go. The trolleybus slammed the doors, smiled again and drove out of the bus depot. And then a miracle happened. Crackling, the horns slowly moved along the stretched wires and glowed with a beautiful blue-blue light. - What is this? Miracles! “No,” Frost whistled after him. - These are fireworks in your honor! Not from firecrackers, not from rockets, but real blue-blue fireworks. Today he will accompany you everywhere. Accept your New Year's gift. Don't be sad! The old trolleybus, smiling, looked at the miracle gift. That's how Frost and his brother frost created a miracle! They brought back the old man’s smile, gave him a fabulous gift and a good mood for the whole day. “How important it is to start the day with a smile and end it smiling too!” - thought the old trolleybus and went on its way. |
Tale about Trolleybus
In one southern city there lived a Trolleybus who liked to imagine himself as various animals and birds. “I am a big and important elephant,” he said, walking heavily up the mountain. “Darling, let’s hurry up, people are late,” the driver Kostya, a young, cheerful guy, hurried him. - It’s better to imagine that you are an ostrich. – Is an ostrich bigger than an elephant? - asked Trolleybus. “An ostrich runs faster.” “Well, then I’m an ostrich,” he agreed and rushed so that the passengers fell on each other. “Be careful,” Kostya asked. – Try to turn into a kangaroo, and imagine that all the passengers are your children. – Where do kangaroos live, are there trolleybuses? - asked the Trolleybus - Yes, - answered Kostya, although he didn’t know for sure whether there were Trolleybuses in Australia - And they are beautiful, - asked the Trolleybus - You are still more beautiful, - answered Kostya And this was the true truth, because every morning Kostya watched to ensure that the sides of the Trolleybus were cleanly washed, and the windows sparkled with sunbeams. “I am a caring mother of Kangaroo,” the trolleybus told Kostya, slowed down and smoothly approached the stop. “The Yunost Cinema is the final stop,” announced the driver Kostya, and passengers poured out of the trolleybus like baby kangaroos from a bag. “It’s starting to rain,” the trolleybus said. “I’ll get wet.” – Imagine that you are a hippopotamus and swimming on a hot summer day, hippos love water very much. The trolleybus, snorting and shaking off the water, rushed through the streets. At night in a deserted and dark park, in order not to feel lonely, the trolleybus reassured himself: “I’m a bear, I sleep in my own den and I’m not at all bored or scared.” The time until morning did not last so long then. He also liked to imagine himself as a singing crane, and the bars, moving to another line, did not grind, but whistled gently like a bird. But one day, Kostya was summoned by telegram to his brother’s wedding. Kostya took a vacation and went north to Murmansk. Another driver was assigned to the trolleybus - the gloomy Uncle Petya, who was constantly concerned about the difficult economic situation in the country, but was especially angry after yesterday's quarrel with his wife over delayed salaries. - I am a gray wolf, I will eat you! - the trolleybus told Uncle Petya. “And you’re in the same place,” Uncle Petya got angry and hit the steering wheel with all his might. The trolleybus was offended and stopped. No matter how Uncle Petya hit the wheels or slammed the hinged lids, he did not move. In the trolleybus depot, the best repairmen worked their magic on the mechanisms for a long time, found nothing and left the trolleybus alone. The trolleybus hid in the farthest corner of the park and began to wait to be sent for scrap. But finally Kostya returned. “Your trolleybus is broken,” the dispatcher told him, “go get another car.” Kostya was upset and thought that maybe he could still do something for his friend. He searched for it for a long time until he discovered a dirty and abandoned trolleybus among broken down cars near the fence. Kostya washed the trolleybus inside and out, installed the bars and turned on the engine. “I’m an angry and scary gray wolf,” Trolleybus told Kostya not very confidently, “And I’ll eat you.” “Don’t eat me, gray wolf,” Kostya smiled as usual, “Let’s sing a song instead.” “I missed you so much,” Trolleybus complained. “Me too,” Kostya sighed and asked: “What are we going to sing?” - A song about me, that is, about a pink elephant. I am now a mighty but kind elephant. “Let’s talk about you,” Kostya agreed, and they sang in chorus: “Where the baobab trees came out on the slope. There lived a pink elephant in a clearing.” “Today I am the happiest Trolleybus,” thought the Trolleybus, leaving the park, and like a white ship sailed along the city streets. |
Pictures, posters depicting a trolleybus
Visualization is a mandatory element when working with applications. Moreover, these should be both drawn versions and photographs depicting real trolleybuses.
Observation
If possible, during a walk you can watch real trolleybuses, discuss their design, talk about current and wires. If this is not possible, then you can devote a few minutes of play time to looking at toy trolleybuses and comparing them with already known buses.
Lesson note plan
In the lesson notes on application, it is necessary to indicate the time allotted for each stage.
First, we formulate the goals and objectives of the lesson. For example, goals: to continue work on constructing geometric shapes according to a model, to teach how to cut circles by cutting off corners from square shapes, to develop an interest in artistic activities.
Tasks could be the following: teach children to make circles from squares, continue to develop the skill of working with scissors, and instill neatness and accuracy in work.
As for the formulation of a mandatory element of any lesson in the senior group related to speech development, on the application it can be vocabulary work (familiarity with the concepts of “gasoline”, “ground transport”, “schedule”, “stop”)
After the introductory part, we move directly to the course of the lesson, which includes three stages:
- introduction or motivation - rhymes, fairy tales (no more than 7 minutes);
- the main part is doing crafts together with the teacher (18 minutes);
- the final stage is summing up, the teacher praises the children, a spontaneous exhibition of works is formed on the magnetic board (5 minutes).
Example of a summary
If there is very little time for the application, then you can invite parents to complete the task at home: find suitable pictures and stick them on the base cardboard to make a trolleybus
Straw applique “Car”
This beautiful material turns the product into a real work of art. An important point is its preparation for work: assemble, open, and dry in time. Then the scrap is cut and ironed. Straw appliqué is best done in small groups. Each team can choose their own car.
Execution steps:
- select a sketch;
- each detail is located on tracing paper;
- the prepared straw must be glued to the front side of the tracing paper;
- the strips are folded in such a way that the gaps are not visible and extend beyond the contour lines;
- turning the entire workpiece over to the wrong side, the excess paper with straws is carefully trimmed with scissors;
- All parts of the product are laid out against the background, glued and given time for final drying under pressure.
At this time, you can look at the cars they have chosen with your children, talk about their purpose, remember the verse about cars, and play with toy cars.
Dry plants are excellent preparations for application
How to glue a racing car
The second version of the car could be a racing car.
Such a model will be created with great enthusiasm. To make the toy interactive, it is recommended to use ready-made templates.
To create a racing car using ready-made templates, a kind of patterns or developments, there are a huge number of blanks.
They differ only in their complexity.
There are templates where it is necessary to connect a small number of parts at the design stage.
There are also templates; you will have to cut a huge number of them in order to get an interesting work at the end.
To create a racing car, print one of the selected templates, preferably in color.
Next, we cut out the blank with all the details and prepared joints.
We glue the joints with glue.
Of course, the best option would be to create such a car from thick cardboard. After all, with the help of a cardboard toy, a child will be able to play.
Unusual applique for children
Cotton appliqué is a rather unusual form of fine art. Classes develop the child’s artistic horizons, instill not only hard work and perseverance, but also accuracy during work. They are excellent exercises for improving fine motor skills. The scope for children's imaginations is unusually wide, and it can increase significantly if the cotton wool is tinted.
For this type of application you need special cotton wool (100% cotton), velvet paper, a stationery knife, tracing paper, paper clips, scissors, and transfer paper. This process takes place with the mandatory participation of adults.
"A funny car on a winter day"
Choose a picture of a funny car. You should consider in which places the cotton wool should remain white, where to use colored cotton wool, and where to make the cotton wool a non-fluffy material. This application can be done in different ways.
First method:
- Use tracing paper to copy the drawing and attach it to velvet paper with paper clips. Next, the adult cuts out the outline of a certain part with a stationery knife.
- We fill the cut out part with cotton wool (some of the material can be pre-painted in different colors), while the weight of the drawing remains on the paper.
- This is how we do all the work. Preference is given to unpainted cotton wool, since the machine went for a walk on a winter day.
Second method:
- Using carbon paper, we transfer the picture onto the base, try to ensure that the outline is an extremely clear imprint.
- If necessary, use an eraser to remove any dirt from the base.
This winter picture will look best on a blue or blue background. You can make snow, a snowman, and snow-covered trees from small pieces of cotton wool. The result will be a real winter landscape.
Use the applique to create together with your child. On special websites you can get acquainted with a catalog of proposed ideas and see photos of finished works.
Lesson notes on the application “Funny Trolleybus”
Goal: Development of children's constructive abilities Objectives: – Improve knowledge of round, rectangular and square shapes. -Learn to transform shapes by cutting a rectangle into squares. – Teach children to use scissors carefully and work with glue. – To develop the ability to correlate one’s actions with the actions of an adult. – To consolidate the concept of “passenger transport”, “urban transport”, its types. Preliminary work: use of ICT, conversations about passenger transport, looking at pictures of a trolleybus , reading poetry, riddles. Vocabulary work: activation of adjectives: passenger, mobile, electric, urban. Progress of educational activities Educator: Guys, please look at these pictures. Tell me what is shown on them? Children: Bus, trolleybus , tram, minibus. Educator: Correct, but how can all this be called in one word? Children: Transport. Educator: What kind of transport is this? Children: Passenger, city. Educator: Why do we call it that? Children: Because it transports people - passengers. Educator: Okay, well done. Educator: Who saw the trolleybus ? (Children's answers). Guys, come to the computer and I will show you a trolleybus that travels along the city streets. Knock on the door Teacher: Guys, the postman just brought me a letter, now I’ll read it to you. (Reads the letter) “Hello guys! The Krasnodar traffic inspector is writing to you. I am making a request: unforeseen circumstances arose in Krasnodar, trolleybuses and there was only one left. And therefore, many adults and children cannot get to work, kindergarten, or school. I hope for your help. Goodbye, thank you for early.” Educator: Guys, are you ready to help? (Children's answers) Educator: Well done, I'm glad that you figured out how to help in this situation. Before we get to work, let's exercise our fingers. Finger gymnastics: Transport We will squeeze our fingers. We will call transport: Car, helicopter, tram, bus, plane. We clenched five fingers into a fist and named five types of transport. The teacher asks questions: What parts does the trolleybus ? Children: From the carriage, windows, doors, wheels. Educator: How does the trolleybus ? Children: Pantograph. Educator: Who knows how a trolleybus differs from a bus? Children: The bus is fueled with gasoline, and the trolleybus runs on electricity. Educator: Now guys, let's get to work. (The teacher explains and shows techniques for cutting corners and folding a rectangle in half several times) Physical exercise “Name the transport” After the children have completed the task, the teacher suggests looking at the resulting work together. Educator: Guys! Look how we worked together and what wonderful trolleybuses we made ! Did you like trolleybuses ? Which one did you like best? Why? Do you think we helped the residents of Krasnodar? (Children's answers) |
