Applications on the theme "Berries"

Applications on the theme "Berries" can be very diverse. You need to figure out how to imitate wild berries and berry compote in a jar. Also noteworthy are baskets of berries and voluminous raspberries, paper strawberries and other ideas.

It is quite reasonable to start making forest applications for children using the example of just individual berries. From the first minutes you need to accustom yourself to the fact that these fruits can have a variety of colors and shapes.

The general technology is something like this:

• crumple the newspaper into a tight ball;
• cover the workpiece with paste;
• roll it in the palms to make the ball smoother;
• wipe their hands with a wet napkin;
• select napkins of a color suitable for decorating berries;
• tear and crumple these additional products;
• stick the resulting lumps (they will have to be immersed for a short time in the paste, which is more convenient to do with tweezers).

Bulky raspberries can be obtained from paper. The sequence of steps is surprisingly simple. To begin with, create a background with which it is most logical to make yellow cardboard. The cutting of the stem and leaves is done from green paper.

Then you can go to work with the berry itself:

• cut the velvet red paper into circles;
• create fruits from them;
• glue the leaves and the stem to the background cardboard;
• glue the berries.

It can be useful to do and create voluminous strawberries. This activity is available for children aged 6 to 10. Younger ones may need help. To work, you definitely need a golden gel pen. Although some of the young masters instead paint with acrylics or gouache, this replacement is frankly impractical.You should not use markers, watercolors or pencils at all, because their strokes will not be noticeable on a red base.

Stages of work:

• the red square is bent sequentially several times - initially diagonally, then half, then twice more;
• cut the contours with scissors (you need to cut in a diagonal plane, smoothly);
• cut out 3 segments;
• make a slight allowance in order to then create a three-dimensional figure;
• cut off 3 parts unnecessary in the future;
• the remaining canvas is glued and given volume;
• the upper segments are neatly folded and glued to each other;
• fold the green square diagonally;
• repeat the same folds as when working with the berry itself;
• cut the structure diagonally;
• unfold it;
• glue the resulting sepals to the top;
• they finish painting the seeds on the berry - here, again, a gel pen with yellow or golden (which is preferable) ink will help.

The composition "compote in a jar" is available for children from 5 years old. The jar itself is cut along the contour using a stencil. Sometimes adults distribute such blanks before starting work. If you wish, you can draw a piece of cloth with a ribbon at the top with a pencil or felt-tip pen. "Fruits and berries" for "compote" are made from pieces of colored paper, which are folded in advance and marked along the contour. Before gluing, place the entire layout in the jar. What is larger is put down, what is smaller - up.

Next in line is the basket. It is obtained by marking out paper, applying a template, bending and gluing parts - along the way, practicing all these skills.

Subsequence:

• cutting out squares from colored paper according to a template;
• laying them out on a colored cardboard sheet;
• gluing along the bottom row;
• preparation of the top row;
• creating triangles;
• connection of all parts.

You will have to think over the Berry Kingdom application yourself. Nowhere, in any materials, in principle, the course of its execution is not mentioned. The only thing that can be found is all sorts of schedules and plans for its implementation in the course of educational and educational activities. But you can connect imagination and show originality. It is also advisable to prepare real plates for laying out the created composition.

Experts give these tips:

• use stencils;
• decorate the composition with braid or ribbons;
• carefully choose paper - both foil and corrugated samples are suitable for work;
• use an apron and sleeves for greater cleanliness;
• complement the composition with sparkles, rhinestones and semi-beads;
• work in good lighting;
• free up space so that nothing interferes with work;
• simplify actions as much as possible using ready-made printed templates.
