Making the application "Chicken"

Chicken applications can be very diverse. Children of all ages like them, they can be made from different materials.

The simplest crafts are applications from geometric shapes. It is with them that they begin to teach kids 2-3 years old to the first lessons. Not all children at this age know how to work with scissors, so the parents make the blanks.

For applications, prepare a base (a sheet of paper or cardboard, colored or white). In addition to her, 2 circles are cut out: the larger one for the calf and the smaller one for the head. And also prepare a small triangle-beak and a small circle-eye.

Children love making chickens using torn technique. In turn, it contributes to the development of fine motor skills. The essence of the work is to fill the picture with pieces of finely chopped or torn paper. For ease of use, you can use thin double-sided paper.

The basis of the craft is the usual coloring. If it is not there, you can pick up an image on the Internet, download and print. Then PVA or clerical glue is applied to the base. After that, paper pieces are glued, trying not to leave empty spaces.

You can decorate according to this principle not only the chicken itself. It will be much more interesting to work with a beautiful background, for example, a small lawn. Some decorate the craft with millet seeds.

Volumetric crafts look beautiful and unusual. Moreover, their implementation is often simple.For example, the easiest option is to cut out a chicken with wings and glue only the body. To add volume, you need to bend the wings.

You can make a voluminous body. To do this, you need to cut out several identical circles, bend them in the middle and glue the halves one on top of the other. Wings are glued on the sides of the little body, but not completely - this way they will look more voluminous.

The applique made of accordion-folded paper looks original. To do this, take a sheet of yellow paper, cut it into strips and fold it like an accordion. Then they are glued together and rolled into a circle. The finished part is glued to a paper base.

Wings are also often made according to the same principle. If the workpieces do not hold well, they are fastened with a stapler. It is better to make the head from a regular mug. The eyes can be glued ready-made, the beak can be cut out of colored paper.

Volumetric wings are made from paper strips. They are cut out, bent into loops and glued to the sides of the main circle.

Chicken bodies can be made from paper plates. Volumetric elements are obtained by using colored napkins. Circles are cut out of them, fastened with a stapler, then slightly crushed.

Felt is one of the most commonly used materials for children's crafts.... It is easy to cut, easy to stick. Most often, flat applications are made from it. For example, these can be chickens from small circles.

Kids cut out blanks (yellow circles, small combs and beaks), and then stick to cardboard. The paws are not always cut out, they are often drawn with a felt-tip pen.

Preschool children are able to make crafts using yarn. For example, glue to the base of the thread, forming a chicken pattern. In addition, the original meadow, clouds, sun are obtained from the threads.

The applique, decorated with pom-poms made of soft yarn, looks beautiful. From them fluffy bodies are obtained. And also chickens can be made by cutting out circles or ovals, wrapping them with threads, adding paws, beaks, eyes. These chicks make the appliqué special.

The principle of creating this applique is similar to working with torn paper. Children rip the paper, then roll it into small balls. It is easier to use thin or crepe paper in your work. It crumples better and faster.

To make the applique more interesting, the base is cut out in the shape of the chick. It is better to use cardboard in your work so that the numerous balls do not deform the paper backing. It is better to glue them on PVA glue.

You can make an unusual craft on the theme of "Chicken" using cotton wool. You need to roll small balls from it, glue it to the base, then paint it with yellow paint. And glue the eyes and beak on top.

If there are cotton pads at home, they should also be used for a simple application. To do this, take discs, stick to cardboard or colored paper. Then they are painted yellow. It remains to finish drawing the legs, glue the combs and beaks.

Buckwheat is used as eyes, sunflower seeds are suitable for the beak. A meadow is easily created from cereals.

Other materials include feathers, which are sold in craft stores. Even in works, soft plasticine is often used.

Another simple option is to stick the millet onto the picture. To make the image look more interesting, you should print the coloring directly on the front side of the colored cardboard.

An unusual type of applique is the use of handprints and footprints. Kids make prints on paper, then cut them out. Prepare the oval base, scallop, beak and eyes. Fragments of the applique are glued to the base.

Crafts in the form of chickens in an egg look original. Manufacturing methods vary. A simple option is to cut out 2 ovals (white and yellow), stick the yellow onto the cardboard.The white fragment must be cut in the center, torn slightly, then glued along the contour onto a yellow oval. It remains to draw the eyes and beak.

The shell can be "broken". To do this, a white oval is cut out of paper, cut in zigzags. Cut out according to the pattern of the chicken, glued to the base. Then add "shell" from below and from above.
