Paper applique Raccoon
Raccoon Facts:
- Raccoons will eat anything. Insects, mice, fish, eggs and even garbage!
- Because they eat almost anything, you can find raccoons in any environment - from the farm to the city!
- Raccoons love to live in hollows, logs, and even attics! Young raccoons often spend the first two months of their lives high in tree holes until their mother drops them to the ground.
- Raccoons typically live 2-3 years in the wild.
- Northern raccoons hibernate - they binge on food to store fat and then sleep in their den all winter.
Applications with wild animals
Pets are well known even to children, because they live “side by side” with humans. But wild animals “hide” from the curious glances of children in the thicket of the forest or in the enclosures of the Zoo. We are unlikely to be able to “spy” on the life of wild animals in the forest, but we can visit the Zoo right now!
In today's lesson, we invite you to use your imagination a little and go with us on an excursion to the Zoo to admire the wild animals. In order to go on an exciting journey, you need to prepare some materials, as well as special tools:
- Scissors
- Paper sheets
- Glue
- A little millet
- Markers
- Paintings depicting a bear, a hare
- cotton wool
- Napkins
Bear applique
There are many different wild animals in the Zoo, but the first one we will pay attention to is the bear. After all, it is the bear in our area that is considered the real owner of the forest!
Step-by-step instruction:
First, give the children pictures of a bear. Then explain to the children that they must carefully coat the figure with glue without going beyond the outline. After this, you will need to sprinkle millet on top of the glue, and then put the work aside until it dries completely.
Chanterelle – applique
The second inhabitant of the Zoo is the fox, considered the most cunning wild animal. Her bright fur coat is unlikely to leave kids indifferent; they will definitely want to make a craft with the beautiful fox!
The fox is formed from geometric shapes. Triangles are used for the head and ears, and ovals are used for the tail, paws, and body. You can simply draw eyes and a nose with a black felt-tip pen.
Bunny made from napkins
Wild animals living in our forests are not only formidable predators, but also quite peaceful herbivores. Therefore, while walking around the Zoo, we will admire not only the bear and fox, but also look into the bunny’s enclosure. Scheme of work:
- Take white napkins, tear them into small pieces, and then roll them into balls.
- Using templates, draw bunnies:
- Gradually attach the finished lumps to the ears and body:
- Decorate the middle of the ears, tail, and muzzle of the hare with cotton wool.
- Form a mustache from the dark stripes:
Lion clipping
Facts about lions:
- Lions live in groups called "prides".
- Male lions boast a mane, a large fringe that encircles their heads.
- Males defend the pride territory, which they clearly mark with the smell of their urine.
- Lionesses are hunters in a pride. They often work together to hunt antelope, zebra, wildebeest, zebra, etc.
- Most lions on earth live in Africa, although a very small population can be found in India's Gir Forest.
Features of appliqué classes in the preparatory group of kindergarten
By the age of 6–7 years, the child handles scissors well and easily cuts out simple shapes along the contour. He can connect dotted lines or dots with a continuous line, and draw simple elements for use in appliqué. In accordance with the skills of pupils of this age, the program requirements become more complex. The teacher needs to direct the children’s imagination to create plot applications. The child should accompany the process of gluing the prepared parts with verbal comments. The game moment turns on: we not only learn how to create a craft, but at the same time we compose a story.
Kinds
Pupils of the preparatory group must master the following appliqué techniques:
- Creation according to the model. The child can trace the templates suggested by the teacher, cut them out and create a picture similar to what they saw. Students are offered several samples on a given topic and are given the opportunity to combine creation techniques and compositional elements.
- Silhouette applique. It involves the same actions as in the previous paragraph, but the template is more complicated, the work turns out to be more labor-intensive and painstaking. For ages 6–7 years, this type of application is interesting when there is a plot-role factor in the creative process.
- Creating a symmetrical figure or a series of symmetrical figures. These are the actions of folding a sheet of paper and cutting out half of the image. For older preschoolers, tasks in this technique should be as complex as possible: the outline for cutting should have nuances, punctures or slits must be made inside the image.
- Broken applique. Used when working in mixed media. For example, in the form of a broken appliqué, an imitation of bird feathers or the fur of fur-bearing animals is created.
- Overlay applique. Also used in mixed media: to depict fish scales, snake skin, bird plumage.
- Modular application. This is work with elements of the same shape, but of various sizes and colors. The parts can be bent and one of the halves can be glued to the base (then the second half will go beyond the plane, creating a three-dimensional image). Module parts can be placed on top of each other during the gluing process.
- Collage. Not just an image of an object is created; in the process of creativity, the child comes close to the world of art. Collage involves working with various materials, shapes and has a carefully thought-out composition, color scheme and often a plot component.
Photo gallery: examples of applications of different types on the theme “Domestic and wild animals”
Creating a direct applique based on a sample using various materials Modular applique: elements in the shape of a circle were used to create an image Silhouette applique, combining elements of simple design and plot design The basis of the applique is the symmetrical cutting of image objects. The task in the preparatory group involves cutting out complex pictures, with small details and slits. Collage applique involves the use of a variety of materials (buttons, lace, natural material, beads, pieces of fabric)
Multi-layer applique: parts are glued on top of each other in such a way that a three-dimensional image is obtained
Materials used
There are no restrictions on the materials used to create applications. Fine motor skills at this age are so developed that pupils skillfully handle even bulk materials made from small particles (semolina, sawdust, colored sand).
Sawdust was used to imitate dog skin
Unusual materials should be used more and more often so that children do not lose interest in this type of creativity. The process becomes especially interesting when household materials act as applique details - so familiar in everyday life, but unexpected as a component of an object of art. This is what is most often considered garbage: wrappers, candy wrappers, foil, metal or plastic lids, etc. As well as food materials: cereals, pasta of various shapes, coffee beans, dried barberries, cloves, cinnamon sticks, even popcorn, crackers, dryers.

Paper creation
What about paperwork? Of course, in the preparatory group it is also possible to create paper applications. But the teacher should definitely remember that the children spent several years honing their skills in working with scissors and glue, creating pictures and their first stories with this material. However, paper material is not only cardboard and a set of colored paper! Pupils aged 6–7 years willingly continue working with well-known material. When preparing a lesson on creating a paper application, the teacher should follow several recommendations:
- Paper materials are varied. To create, we can use newspaper and magazine paper, wallpaper paper, wrapping and packaging paper, plain and themed napkins, tracing paper, graph paper, parchment, postcards, various cards, used tickets, etc.
- The use of other papermaking techniques when creating parts for appliqué. Let's talk about them in more detail.
Weaving is one of the oldest forms of creativity. Pupils can weave a simple braid from paper strips and connect strips of different colors together. They are also woven from paper tubes, in which case the process requires more time (the tubes must be prepared in advance). There should be several separate lessons on weaving. Having mastered the technique of simple (satin weaving), students will be able to create elements for use in appliqué.

Origami is a Japanese art form, a technique of folding paper figures. Understanding the basics of origami in childhood perfectly develops fine motor skills and prepares the hand for writing. The child gets acquainted with the principles of geometry, uses the terms “point”, “line”, “angle”, “right angle”, etc. However, mastering the work in the origami technique requires thorough immersion, this must be taken into account when drawing up calendar and thematic planning for the year: To create origami figures, you need to highlight several activities. After the students have worked out how to make animal figures in origami classes, they can conduct a lesson on creating collective works using appliqué.

Quilling is the process of twisting paper strips using a special tool or a simple pencil. Round or oval elements are created from spirals, from which an image is created by gluing the parts onto the base. You can cut paper strips for quilling yourself, or you can purchase ready-made sets of various colors and widths. It is recommended to conduct 1-2 separate lessons on quilling, the result of which can be small appliqué postcards. The lesson on creating a collective applique assumes that each student will be assigned an agreed number of parts from paper spirals to create, then together the children will glue the twisted elements onto the base.

Paper art is a technique for creating elements from paper napkins by soaking and then rolling. Roll between palms. From napkin strips you can make flagella, from which you can roll up various shapes (leaves, circles, spirals, etc.), and from squares you can make balls. This technique involves gluing elements from napkins onto a surface for further decoration (boxes, wooden frames, vases, etc.). Applications with such flagella and balls should be made on a base made of thick cardboard. Parts must be painted; the paper base may become deformed.

Wombat paper applique
Wombat Facts:
- Wombats are marsupials, meaning they have pouches on their bellies in which they raise their babies.
- A baby wombat lives in its mother's pouch for about five months before it emerges.
- Wombats use their claws to dig burrows in eucalyptus forests and grasslands.
- Wombats are nocturnal and they are vegetarians (herbivores). They come out at night to eat grass, bark and roots.
- A wombat that burrows in fields can be a destroyer of ranches and crop-dependent farms.
Leaf applique: animals
Leaves are a fertile material for crafts. In the summer and autumn, you collect various natural materials (seeds, leaves, ears of corn, acorns, sunflower seeds, flowers), dry them (like a herbarium or in sand), and soak them in glycerin. The leaves turn out to be very brittle using the first method, and glycerin gives softness and flexibility, but changes color.
Any (animals, landscape, people, fish, birds) develops imagination, thinking, logic. The child learns more about the plant world, the properties of natural materials, and ways to interact with them.
Here are some options for making rodents. For the mouse you will need birch, clover, elm leaves, dill or flax seeds, and blades of grass. Glue the birch leaf with the tail down (this will be the body). Place a small elm leaf without a tail on the body. Glue on the clover ears, and then the elm head. You use the seeds to form the eyes and nose, and the grass is useful for the mustache. It turns out to be a full-face view of the mouse.
If the head sheet is positioned perpendicular to the body, then the mouse will be in profile. Glue on the paws, tail, ears, eyes, and nose accordingly. If necessary, adjust the shape of the sheet with scissors.
Craft Panda
Panda facts:
- Pandas are an endangered species.
- They eat about 28 pounds of bamboo a day!
- Adult pandas weigh about 300 pounds (136 kg).
- Wild pandas live only in remote mountainous areas of China.
- Pandas are solitary animals.

Scheme for preparing lesson notes
The lesson plan must include time for physical education and finger exercises.
To successfully conduct a lesson, the teacher needs to take into account a number of methodological recommendations that relate not only to the actual implementation of the application, but also to drawing up a plan for working on it. And you need to start by formulating the goals and objectives of the lesson. So, the goals of working on the application in the senior group can be identified
- the formation of general ideas about wild and domestic animals, their cubs;
- continued work on developing the ability to transfer an object image to a plane;
- consolidation of ideas about the color, size, shape of an object;
- cultivating patience, as well as the ability to bring the work started to its logical conclusion.
Objectives of the lesson on the application dedicated to wild and domestic animals:
- continue teaching children to work with scissors, cutting out individual elements of the workpiece;
- strengthen the skill of careful gluing;
- to cultivate an emotionally positive attitude towards the results of one’s own creative process, as well as towards the works of other children;
- develop a respectful attitude towards the environment;
- develop motor skills, including fine, perception, attention, memory, speech and thinking.
In order for the lesson to go well, the teacher must strictly follow the timing of each stage of work on the application.
- Introductory part (6 minutes). This is the time to motivate children.
- Main part of the lesson (18 minutes). This time includes not only work on crafts, but also a break for finger exercises and physical education.
- Summarizing. In the last 6 minutes, the teacher sums up the results (praises and thanks the little ones for their work), and the children conduct a short self-analysis of their own work results.
Example of lesson notes
Compensatory kindergarten No. 260 (Moscow) “Pets: cat and dog” (fragment)
<… Didactic game “Who eats what?” Pictures on the board: bone, fish, milk, hay, grass, food waste (bucket). On the board, children put pictures of the corresponding animal, accompanying their actions with speech: “The dog is chewing a bone. The cat laps milk and loves fish. Cow, horse, goat, sheep eat grass (hay). Pig waste." Game "Guess the cub." The teacher names an adult pet, and the children name their cub: Cat - kitten Dog - puppy Pig - pig Cow - calf Horse - foal Sheep - lamb Goat - kid Physical education Educator: “And now you and I will turn into cats. Turn around and turn into a cat!” Children: (perform movements in accordance with the text). The cat sat down under a bush, ate a piece of cheese, the cat stood up, stretched, and its fur unfurled. Each child has a blank on the table (two sheets of paper: one with a drawn house, and the other with a drawn cat and dog), pencils, scissors, glue. Teacher: “Guys! Look at our piece of paper, what’s written on it?” Children: “On one sheet of paper there is a house, and on the other there is a cat and a dog.” Teacher: “Remember where our cat lives?” Children: “In a man’s house.” Teacher: “Where does the dog live?” Children: “In the kennel.” Educator: “Do we have a kennel on our sheet?” Children: "No." Teacher: “So, what needs to be done for the dog, what needs to be drawn?” Children: "Kennel." Children take pencils and draw a dog kennel on sheets of paper with a house. Educator: “Well done guys! You and I remembered where our pets live, but now we need to return them to their houses. What will we do for this? Children: “Let’s cut out a cat and a dog, and then glue it on.” Educator: “We work carefully with scissors and glue.” Children carve a cat and a dog. They each stick to their own house (the cat is next to the person’s house, and the dog is next to the kennel). The teacher helps the children as needed, and does the rest independently. Educator: “Well done guys! Look, but the artist forgot to color our pets, let’s help him.” Children take pencils and color pets. Analysis of finished works. Children show each other their work. They evaluate them. Summary of the lesson. The teacher, together with the children, remembers the name of the lesson, topic, content. Then the finished works are exhibited on the stand> |

Schemes and descriptions of work on the application of domestic and wild animals
Photo gallery: finished works of children
To complete this craft, children will have to work hard, rolling cotton balls
In this application, children glue parts onto the base, and the teacher “attaches” the figure with a stapler to create stripes on the skin.
The original use of the outlined arms and legs can be found in the applique
From the leaves of different tree species you can create whole pictures
Such an applique can be glued to the base and exist in the form of a three-dimensional picture.
Photo gallery: animal templates
This dog is quite easy to cut, since it does not have too small elements
This template is convenient for mosaic application
Children are happy to repeat geometric shapes, working with them as part of an applique. Such a turtle needs to be printed out in color, and children can draw spots on the shell themselves and fill them, for example, with buckwheat
To complete the elephant you will need to cut out quite small parts
Spots on a cow can be made from velvet paper
Pets
Let's look at examples of the application of the most “popular” pets.
"Dog"
In the older group, kids can work with 2-3 types of materials for mosaic application
This is an example of a mosaic application in which children cover the outline of the picture with cereals: millet, buckwheat, rice, and also use peas.
Instructions:
- Children receive a template with a picture of a dog, PVA glue and separate bowls of cereal and peas.
- Kids first apply glue to small areas to fill.
- Start by placing peas on the back paw.
- After this, they start with rice, which fills the eye and the spot on the chest.
- We fill the nose, ear and spot on the side with buckwheat.
- Finally, fill the remaining space with millet.
"Cat"
The cotton wool applique looks very unusual and voluminous.
The figure of a pet is made using mixed media: we add voluminous details made of cotton wool to elements made of colored paper.
Instructions:
- The guys receive templates (a figurine of a cat and white clouds).
- Then a fringe is made - grass - on a strip of green paper.
- Kids glue the grass onto the base.
- Then the cat and cloud templates are placed on the sheet.
- Spread the figures with glue and fill them with pieces of cotton wool.
- Finish drawing flowers (additional task).
- Antennae, mouth and eyes for the cat are cut out from pieces of colored paper.
Using the same technology you can make the “Sheep” craft.
Wild animals
To make appliques of wild animals, it is better to take large representatives of the fauna or well-known ones, so that it is easier for children to remember and take into account all the details of their appearance.
"Hedgehog"
Leaf applications are a traditional autumn activity in kindergarten.
This classic applique is created from natural material - leaves. To make it more difficult, children are asked to complete the drawing of the hedgehog's face.
Instructions:
- The kids receive a blank - a figurine of a hedgehog.
- Children glue it to the base.
- Use a black felt-tip pen to complete the nose, eye and mouth.
- Apply glue to the “back”.
- Lay out the leaves in several layers, pointing them upward.
"Squirrel"
The broken applique in the older group is complicated by the fact that small elements of the design also need to be filled in
The broken applique is familiar to children from the younger group. But in the older ones it becomes more complicated because the kids have to complete some elements of the image.
Instructions:
- The guys prepare the material - they tear orange paper cut into strips into small pieces.
- Then a base sheet with the contours of a squirrel is obtained.
- Draw a mustache, nose and eye (these details may already be drawn on the template).
- Apply glue to the figurine and carefully place the scraps within the outline.
- If necessary, add trees (Christmas trees), the background, and also complement the picture with acorns (drawn or made in the form of an applied applique).
"Bunny"
Cotton pads are a very convenient material for application.
To complete this application you will need cotton pads, colored paper, cotton wool and grains of polystyrene foam.
Instructions:
- Children glue a cotton pad onto the base sheet.
- An oval is cut out of another disk - the muzzle of a hare.
- The slightly smaller ovals are the legs.
- From pieces of cotton wool we make snow under the paws and a small tail.
- The disks folded in half are ears.
- Disks cut in half are snowdrifts under the fir trees.
- Christmas trees can be voluminous figures folded using the origami technique or cut out pictures.
- We make a circle of smaller diameter from the disk, paint it yellow - this is the sun.
- Apply a few drops of glue to the background and “scatter” the foam plastic snow.
"Fox"
The difficulty of this craft is that children need to carefully cut out several symmetrical parts of different sizes, including very small ones for the ears.
An example of an applied applique illustrating the fairy tale “Kolobok”. Made from geometric pieces.
Instructions:
- Children cut out two isosceles triangles from an orange sheet. To do this, you can ask them to fold the sheet in half and cut the shape diagonally, starting from the bottom edge.
- We unbend the figure, repeat the operation again, but this time the cutting line should be slightly smaller.
- The next detail is the tail. The triangle should be narrow but long.
- And to complete the preparation of the parts - the ears - two small symmetrical triangles.
- Glue the parts to the base.
- Cut out a circle and glue it to the fox’s nose.
- We finish drawing the point of the nose, eyes and muzzle of Kolobok.
"Bear"
To turn a polar bear into a brown bear, you need to paint the bunting with watercolors
Thus, oatmeal, which is unloved by many toddlers, can become a very convenient material for the “Polar Bear” applique.
Instructions:
- Children receive sheets of paper with a picture of a bear and cut them out along the outline.
- Paste the picture onto the base.
- Spread the figure with glue and cover it with oatmeal.
- The nose and eye are made from black plasticine.
By the way, this resident of the north can be turned into a brown bear. To do this, after gluing the oatmeal, you need to coat it with brown paint (watercolor).
Application options
You can make a home for each of the animals.
"Doghouse"
When making the “Dog House” applique, children repeat the simplest geometric shapes
This applique is a combination of geometric shapes.
Instructions:
- Children cut out a square, a triangle and a small circle along the contours.
- Glue a square onto the base.
- Above is a triangle.
- To a square - a circle.
- In addition, you can cut out a dog bone from white paper. The teacher draws the outline of the bone, and the children practice cutting out small symmetrical parts.
"Farm Animals"
To complete the “Farm Animals” applique, it is better to use a collage, which also very well develops the skill of neatly cutting and gluing parts, but at the same time saves lesson time
This can be a collective application using the collage technique with drawing elements.
Instructions:
- Each child is given the task of cutting out an animal figurine.
- The teacher explains which animal to stick where.
- Then the kids finish painting the grass, clouds and sun with paints.
If the application is a group one, then an adult or a child can complete the drawing of the base, if the class time allows.
"Zoo Animals: Hippopotamus"
An applique of a combination of round and oval elements allows children to develop coordination when cutting and sticking
You can make up a whole zoo from different animals. This application can be a group one. In this case, the basis will be common, for example, a white sheet with the contours of fences, and the animals will become the product of individual creativity.
Instructions:
- Cut out 4 circles from blue paper.
- From gray paper - 2 circles.
- Glue 2 blue ones in a line.
- We place the other 2 slightly lower and slightly overlap each other.
- We put gray on them.
- A little higher we place another gray one.
- Cut out an oval from blue paper.
- Glue it at the intersection of the gray ones.
- Cut out small ears from gray paper, and eyes from white paper.
- Glue these elements.
- We finish drawing the muzzle and pupils.
"Zoo Animals: Camel"
When using yarn, children must use the glue extremely carefully, so it is better to apply it with a thin brush
To make this applique you will need several strands of gray yarn.
Instructions:
- Children cut out the figure of a camel along the contour.
- Glue it to the base.
- Glue pieces of yarn onto the camel's head, neck, hind legs and tail.
- To recreate the animal’s habitat, you can cut out several cacti ovals from green paper.
- We make needles from paper of a more saturated shade, cutting them in the form of short strips.
"Zoo Animals: Giraffe"
To make this craft, children must be able to select suitable pieces of paper to fill different parts of the outline
For this applique we will need to use the overlay and cutting techniques for making the craft. Moreover, the latter, despite its apparent simplicity - after all, it is mastered already in the younger group - is complicated by the fact that the pieces of paper need to be placed on a narrow contour (on the giraffe’s neck).
Instructions:
- Children receive sheets of yellow paper with the outline of a giraffe.
- The animal is cut out.
- Glue onto the base.
- Pieces are cut from brown paper to imitate the color of a giraffe.
- The tail, eyes, and “horns” are also cut out.
- Use a brown felt-tip pen to complete the nose and mouth.
- Palm leaves are cut out of green paper, and triangular elements of the trunk are cut out of brown paper.
- They “collect” the palm tree.
- Complement the picture with the sun or clouds.
Craft Leopard
Leopard Facts:
- Leopards are an endangered species.
- They are strong hunters and love to be in trees. In fact, they often drag their prey up trees to eat it!
- They are nocturnal.
- Leopards are very secretive and hunt antelope and deer under the cover of tall grass.
- They are also good swimmers and love to be in the water.
- Leopards are light colored with black spots called rosettes. There are also black leopards, commonly known as black panthers .
Fennec cutout
Fennec Fox Facts:
- The fennec fox is the smallest fox species in the world.
- They have huge bat-like ears that help radiate body heat and keep them cool in the desert.
- They mainly live in North Africa and the Sahara Desert.
- They have long hair, which keeps them warm on cold nights and protects them from the hot sun.
- They live in underground dens in small communities of about ten foxes.
- Fennec foxes are omnivores and eat both plants and small rodents, eggs, reptiles and insects.
- They can go without water for a long time.
Most commonly used materials and equipment
In order to convey the image of the animal as clearly and completely as possible, the teacher offers children both traditional and little-used materials for appliqué. Traditional ones include ordinary colored paper and thin cardboard, plain and printed, clippings from worn-out children's magazines and books. However, a variety of materials that were not originally intended for application in kindergartens are becoming increasingly widespread:
- Fabric, cotton wool, cotton pads, threads, braid, ribbons, sequins, sparkles, beads.
- Buckwheat, rice, semolina, millet.
- Gifts of the plant world (leaves, twigs, dried flowers, pine needles, moss, straw). They can be used to lay out animal figures, or fill and decorate the background.
- Waste material, for example, candy wrappers, scraps of beautiful wrapping paper, shavings that form when sharpening pencils.
A hedgehog made from pencil filings looks almost real
When using small materials, the teacher must draw children's attention to the fact that these objects can be dangerous and must also be handled with care.
For the background use white and colored paper, large pieces of wallpaper with a discreet pattern, and fabric. Interesting and beautiful applications are made on burlap and unbleached fabric. You can decorate the background by washing watercolors, stamps, spraying, or applying a design with a roller.
In addition to scissors with rounded ends, glue, napkins, and a pencil, the following equipment may be useful for tracing an outline:
- small plates where children will put scraps and pour out excess cereal;
- used fountain pen refills (for creating curls using the quilling technique);
- templates and stencils depicting animal body parts or their silhouettes;
- felt-tip pens, wax crayons for finishing details.
Application with quilling elements looks very gentle and airy
From the beginning of the year, students should be taught to keep their workspace in order and not to scatter materials, because there will be quite a lot of them on the table. This is best done by personal example: the teacher performs the appliqué next to the children and first tells them where to put the tools and materials, and then during the lesson reminds them how best to organize the workplace.
Proper organization of the workplace is the key to children’s safety

In the preparatory group of kindergarten it is still important to create applications. This type of paperwork plays a big role in the all-round development of a child. Older preschoolers work with all kinds of materials and use various techniques. It is necessary to conduct application classes more often in group form: this is how the guys learn to interact with each other, distribute responsibilities, and communicate on the same level. Without interrupting the creative process, students develop speech skills and fantasize. The plot application has a game form, but serves to fulfill several pedagogical tasks - educational, developmental, aesthetic.
