Choose with your child exactly the craft that he liked the most. Then your child will approach the process of making crafts with joy and a sense of responsibility, because it is at this age that children feel almost like adults.

How bright and varied such creativity as an application for children of 3-4 years old can become. The main thing is simplicity, convenience and safety in work.

It is recommended to select scissors with rounded ends and, of course, take into account the mood and wishes of young creators. You need to teach how to make, starting with simple options: the sun, a house, butterflies. You can come up with a lot of interesting crafts on the theme of "summer". The child will be happy to display what he has conceived on paper, and share his impressions of what he saw on the street: a river, a bright sun, juicy strawberries, green leaves. Maybe yesterday morning there were drops of dew on them. I wonder how they will look on paper?

For crafts, children will need:

colored paper;
cereals;
plasticine;
glass pieces;
shells;
leather;
beads;
cotton wool;
newspaper;
threads;
stones;
paints.

Interesting models are obtained using:

Colored napkins.

Tear into small pieces, roll into balls. Then draw the outlines of any object on paper, glue the balls in the center. This is a great activity for kids to develop motor skills.

Papers.

Various figures are cut out, which are glued to the base or to the drawn contours.

Dry leaves, for playing compositions on an autumn theme by gluing to cardboard in the form of butterflies, birds, trees, leaf fall.
Cereals.

Not many parents think about how many different exciting summer crafts you can come up with by gluing grains to paper or cardboard in the form of animals, insects, butterflies.

Cotton wool, from which you can roll small balls, draw on a cardboard base, for example, a lamb, and glue cotton balls that look like wool to its body.
Eggshells, which are enough to paint with bright colors, is not a material for creativity? Can be glued to the drawn templates on paper in the form of different compositions: flowers, leaves, Christmas trees, mosaic figures.

If you dream up, then the summer application can be made voluminous and lush using cotton wool, fringe, woolen colored threads. The volume makes crafts on paper more alive and real.

So, let's make chickens:

for weed, cut a strip of green paper 6 cm wide;
cut along the edges in the form of a fringe;
grease the cut part of the paper with glue;
glue gently to the base;
straighten the fringe with your hands;
cut out 3 circles of different diameters from yellow paper for the future chicken;
make small cuts on each mug;
start sequentially gluing a large, medium and small circle, lubricating the middle of each with glue;
paint on the chicken's eyes, paws and beak with a pencil, or simply cut and paste using red paper.

The chicken sketch is ready. It remains to add liveliness to the application and feed the birds by scattering a few grains, gluing grains on the glue in a chaotic manner.

Kids should be given the opportunity to dream up - maybe there is not enough sun, a house, a stream, a green lawn in the picture, which should be painted on with colored pencils or paints, or cut out of colored paper.

Usually, by the age of three, kids speak well on their own, so a joint creative process in the form of an application for children from 3 years old can become very fruitful.

Summer Options

Crafts on the theme "summer" are always relevant in kindergartens. It is important to give the child the opportunity to display on paper what he has recently seen, thus expressing his emotions and impressions. As an option, you can make an application-street.

You need to prepare cotton wool, scissors, colored paper, cardboard, glue stick.

Take cardboard as a base, glue asphalt from a black strip in the lower part, and a white strip in the middle to make a dividing strip.
Glue the green one on top of the black stripe. It will be weed.
Cut rectangles out of brown paper, make cuts in each for windows - you will get high-rise buildings.
Glue the houses to the lawn, and to them the roofs in the form of a trapezoid made of corrugated cardboard.
If you take a brown corrugation and cut tree trunks from it, and leaves, Christmas trees from green corrugation, then you will end up with green spaces.

What else can be added? A traffic light, cut out of black paper and glued near the road, also cars, using paper of different color palettes in the work.

Other variations of paintings

For children 2, 3.4 years old, such simple application options are suitable as:

bridge over the river;
sea, waves, rocking boat;
a pyramid on paper, by cutting and gluing circles of different diameters on top of each other;
different geometric figures in the form of a kitchen, which will appeal to any little girl;
mushrooms in the picture, but if you paint on their eyes, mouth and nose, they will start to smile, and the summer sun painted at the top will enliven the mushroom clearing;
chickens on the lawn in summer: white and yellow, and butterflies fluttering nearby;
spring flower meadow (various small figures for petals, leaves, stems are cut out of colored paper).

The kids will diligently stir all the parts on the base, folding them into a single whole. Well, such an application instills a love for nature from an early age.

On sale for kids there are ready-made application kits containing everything you need to conduct creativity lessons at home or in kindergarten.

What does the application give for the development of children 3-4 years old?

Of course, it develops logic, thinking, perseverance, attentiveness, quick wits. It remains for the educator or mother to choose an acceptable topic for creativity, captivate the child, explain the features of the work and use of objects, give complete freedom for imagination and fantasy.

Experts recommend carrying out the process together with the child, helping in the work, unobtrusively pointing out mistakes, prompting if necessary. Doing all the work for a baby in three or four years is not necessary. Let him independently try to capture something on paper using various materials at hand. Children of three or four years old usually already have their own opinion.

The task of parents and teachers is to help a little in the process of work. Children will be happy to share their emotions and impressions on paper.

At the same time, of course, the teacher (educator) provides assistance if there are difficulties for children in the process of work. Then be sure to invite the children to circle the resulting work with a felt-tip pen.
4. Outcome - review of finished works. At the same time give positive assessments. It is important for a child to enjoy the result obtained, to learn to evaluate himself and other children.
In the classroom for visual activities with children 5-7 years old, you can use the following application types:

Sheet of A4 paper;
Scissors;
Glue.

Bend the fold lines marked with a dotted line on the paws and glue them to the cardboard.

For older children, there is a more difficult task, namely a master class on making voluminous paper crafts in the form of a bird.

Instruction:

Step 1. Download and print the layout diagram (see below). Please note that the file contains a colorless template so that you can print it on colored paper.

Step 2. Cut out all the details exactly along the solid lines with a breadboard knife.

Step 3. Fold all the fold lines according to the principle: bold dotted line = fold inward, thin dotted line = fold outward.

Step 4. Glue the parts to each other, treating their corners with glue (with Glue inscriptions). Stick to the following order:

First glue the beak to one side of the bird, then to the second.

Glue the back of the bird starting from the beak, as shown in the photo.

Glue on the wings.

Now take the part, which is the bird's breast, and at one end of it, fold and fix the triangle with glue as shown in the photo.

Assemble the legs, make sure the knees are at a 90 degree angle, then glue the legs to them.

Well, that's all, it remains only to glue the legs to the body and your voluminous paper craft is ready. If you wish, you can make a whole flock of such birds in different colors with your own hands.

Idea 2. Wall panels, paintings and applications

It is known that you can draw not only with paints on paper, but also ... with paper on paper. Such activities are no less exciting and useful for the development of hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, perseverance, the ability to plan your work, combine colors, shapes and materials.

The following selection of photos presents ideas for paintings, panels and paper applications for children of different levels of complexity.

By the way, the application can be made up of parts of the same shape, but different sizes and colors. It can be circles or hearts. The following slider provides examples of such paper crafts and schemes for their manufacture.

And here are some more examples of interesting paper crafts of various types.

Now we offer you to get acquainted with a master class on making an original, but very easy paper craft. We have no doubt that such cute figurines will help instill in your child an interest in reading books.

Materials:

1 sheet of A4 color paper;
1 sheet of A4 white paper;
Scissors;
Glue stick;
Markers, pencils and paints.

Instruction:

Step 1. Bend one half of a white A4 sheet in half and let the child independently draw the cover of their favorite book on it, also signing the title and name of the author.

Step 2. Cut three long strips from a colored sheet about 2.5 cm wide. You will have 4 parts: 2 strips for the legs, 1 strip for two arms and one rectangle to create the torso of the figure.

Step 3. Take two strips (for the legs), fold them like an accordion, and then glue them to the rectangle torso.

Step 4. Divide the remaining long strip into two equal parts, draw fingers at the ends and glue to the body.

Step 5 Bend the top of the figure to the front side and make her bangs with scissors as shown in the photo.

Step 6. From the remaining half of the white sheet, cut out circles and glue on the figure as if it were glasses.

Step 7. Draw the details: eyes, mouth, nose and temples of glasses with a black marker.

Step 8. Now glue the book to the hands of the figurine and finally put it on the table or hang it on the wall, for example, near the bookshelf.

Idea 3. Hats

All children love games with reincarnations and for this they use everything that comes to hand. To provide a child with props, you can make fantasy hats with him. By the way, such colored paper crafts can be made for one or more children for a performance, a masquerade, a themed birthday or any costume party. In the next selection of photos you can see examples of a variety of paper "hats" - from pirate cocked hats to wigs.

Today we invite you and your kid to make a hat in the shape of a dinosaur head. This workshop is so easy that a child as young as 3 years old will need very little help from you.

Materials:

3 sheets of colored paper;
Glue stick or PVA;
Scotch;
Scissors.

Instruction:

Step 1 Cut 4 strips about 3 cm wide along the long side of the paper. Two of these strips will turn into a headband, and the other two into the crossbars of the “cap”, on which dinosaur spikes will be glued.

Step 2 Take two other sheets of paper and cut them into strips about 5 cm wide along the short side of the paper. You can measure and cut the strips by eye, but in the end you should get 5 strips from each sheet. We need these blanks for the manufacture of spikes.

Step 3. Fold each spike blank in half and, stepping back from the fold by about 1.5 cm, draw a markup in the form of a triangle up to the very edge (see photo). Next, just cut out future spikes.

Step 4. Glue the two crossbars, and then glue the spikes on them in a row as shown in the photo below.

Step 5. While the glue dries, fit the two pieces of the headband to fit the circumference of your child's head, and then connect them in a circle with tape.

STEP 6 Now let's get back to the spikes. Turn the crossbar over so that the spikes are on the table and carefully bend each of them (see photo). Form the first spike: cover one side of it with glue and connect it to the other. Use paper clips to secure the spike until the glue dries. Repeat these steps with the rest of the spikes.
