Teachers' Day applications

In Russia, the Day of the preschool worker is traditionally celebrated on September 27. The best gift for educators will be an applique made by the hands of the wards. There are many different options for such a gift: from the simplest paper cards to sophisticated techniques using natural materials.

The simplest option is application "Bouquet of tulips" from colored paper. Age category from 2 to 4 years old. It is noteworthy that the child should make the application under the supervision of adults. For manufacturing, you will need the following materials and tools:

• cardboard - 1 sheet;
• colored single-sided paper - 1 package (you can use not whole);
• glue stick or PVA;
• scissors;
• simple pencil, ruler, eraser.

It is recommended to prepare everything you need in advance. The process of creating an application for the Day of the educator consists of several stages.

1. First you need to take a sheet of cardboard. On it, using a pencil and a ruler, you need to draw three lines about 10 cm long. They should start at the bottom of the sheet from one point: one in the middle and two going in different directions. These will be a kind of marks for the arrangement of flowers.
2. Then, from green paper, it is necessary to cut 3 strips, which will coincide in length with the drawn lines. These will be tulip stalks. And also from paper of yellow and red colors you need to cut out the flowers themselves (it is recommended to draw the shape beforehand). Additionally, oval petals need to be cut out of green paper.
3. Now all the prepared elements need to be glued to the cardboard with a glue stick.So, the stems are glued strictly along the marked lines, the flowers are to their ends, and the leaves must be distributed over the stems.

At the final stage, you need to let the glue dry well, and the work is ready. As a result, the applique should look something like this.

For older preschool children, making an applique in the form of a postcard would be an excellent option. This will require:

• 2 sheets of double-sided colored cardboard A4 (green and blue);
• colored paper (you can use velvet paper);
• scissors;
• glue;
• paper clips or paper clips;
• simple pencil.

To make a beautiful postcard with your own hands, you need to follow a series of steps step by step.

• Take a sheet of blue cardboard and fold it in half. At the edges, the cardboard must be securely fixed with paper clips or clips.
• Then on one side with a simple pencil you need to draw a cup with a handle so that the handle is located exactly at the fold.
• Next, using scissors, the cup must be cut out, leaving the side on which the handle will be intact. The result should be two cups connected together.
• Three strips must be cut out of green cardboard, at least 1 cm wide.On one side, they must be smeared with glue and glued to one of the inner sides of the prepared cup.
• Then tulips must be cut out of colored paper and glued to the stems.

And you can also make an applique using natural materials. To create it you will need:

• shells from nuts - walnuts and pistachios;
• dried mountain ash;
• bones from dates;
• a sheet of light green cardboard;
• glue gun with rods.

On cardboard from the shells it is necessary to make a "flower meadow"... To create large flowers, you need to glue 3 dried rowan trees in a bunch on cardboard - this will be the central part of the flower. And as petals, walnut shells are suitable. To create small flowers, it is enough to take 1 mountain ash and pistachio shells. All elements must be glued with a glue gun.

You can also make flowers from the seeds of dates and rowan. On an impromptu clearing, they need to be placed in a chaotic order. All materials used must be clean. As a result, the craft should look like this.
