Application is not just a kind of creativity, but an in-depth technique for unlocking the potential of children.... Moreover, for this work, you can use a variety of materials. From the outside, it's so nice to watch a child trying to make an unusual applique craft to please his parents. Parents, on the other hand, should support the baby in his efforts, because for children, creating an application seems to be a very difficult process.

Unfortunately, most modern parents are increasingly entertaining their children with various gadgets.

In addition to several hours of open classes, parents must teach their child different skills in a playful way throughout the day.

• The cut out circles need to be bent in half twice to form a triangle with a rounded side. It is important to press the folds carefully.
• Next, the most difficult thing is to take each triangle and fold it so that the rounded side transforms into a sharp end. Fasten the junction of the sides of the triangle with glue.

Now it is proposed to get acquainted with the simplest version of the “wood” fabric applique. For work, you will need cardboard, colored paper, a pencil and a brush, scissors and glue, and most importantly - scraps of different fabrics.

There are many ideas for creating children's applications. Crafts can be created on any topic - from everyday value to festive masterpieces. The main thing in all this is that kids create applications with their own hands. It can be a simple button caterpillar or a pasta toy. For boys, the military theme, space, sports, cars are closer. Girls like princesses, magic, the theme of kindness and fairy tales.

Natural elements can be used as the main material for the applique, for example, acorns, cones, broken branches from trees and fallen leaves. It will not be difficult to collect the presented working material, it is enough to go for a walk in the square.

By the way, the collected fallen leaves must be stored correctly. They should be laid out between the pages of a thick book, and after a while, special crafts should be created from them. For example, an octopus can be made from a maple leaf, and birch leaves have a shape similar to the body of a fish. You can make a large snowflake from chestnut leaves.

An excellent application for a child aged 5-6 years is a butterfly made of plasticine. To create it, you must follow the step-by-step instructions. And first of all, you need to make the body of a butterfly.

• You need to take an orange plasticine block, divide it into 5 parts, of which you should get 4 identical cubes and 1 narrow strip.

• It remains to attach the wings to the body of the butterfly.

You can make a great applique craft not only from plasticine or paper. Even pasta can be used as the main material. One of the interesting master classes requiring the use of pasta is the "Easter basket".

• On the ball, draw a circle with a marker, where a human hand can freely pass.
• It is necessary to glue the pasta on top of the ball, pressing firmly against each other. Thus, the entire surface of the ball should be pasted over, except for the highlighted circle.
• When the glue dries up, you need to burst the ball.
• The combined pasta must be dyed in the desired color and decorated with decor.
