Applications on the theme "Sunflower"

Crafts on the theme "Sunflower" are popular with children of all ages. They are often done in preschool institutions. What they can be and how they can be made will be discussed in the article.

Children 3-4 years old can do simple crafts that take a minimum of time. The easiest way is to make blanks that need to be decorated. For example, print out small sunflowers and instruct the children to fill in the middle. To do this, you can tear up black paper, crush it and glue it.

You can make a sunflower using the plasticine technique. The principle of operation is similar to coloring pictures. However, instead of pencils or paints, plasticine is used in the work. They "paint" the petals, the stem with leaves and the middle of the plant.

A simple craft option is to fill the middle of the plant with seeds. It is better to fix them on soft plasticine. To do this, you need to cut out a template with petals, then ask the child to smear the middle part of the sunflower with black plasticine.

Another simple example is the use of a breakaway technique. To do this, you need to print out the coloring of the sunflower and prepare thin colored paper (for example, crepe paper). The child needs to tear up paper of different colors and stick it on the coloring.

Kids 4 years old are already able to cut out simple blanks for applications. Crafts can be somewhat complicated. For example, a child can cut a yellow circle, a green strip, a small black circle out of colored paper. He needs to be shown how to cut the "petals", cut out the leaves and glue everything on his own.

The implementation of volumetric appliqués is characterized by an average level of complexity. For children 5-6 years old, you can use several needlework techniques. For example, at this age, perseverance in children increases. Therefore, the craft can be made from pumpkin and sunflower seeds. They can be glued to plasticine.

For example, you can cut many petals out of yellow crepe paper, then crush their ends, draw out the centers and glue. The middle can be made from a thin black strip cut along its entire length and rolled into a roll.

You can make a sunflower with bulky, rounded petals. To do this, you need to cut them out and bend them in half. Next, it remains to glue them around the middle and close them with a black circle.

An applique with a braided core looks beautiful. To do this, cut strips of the same width and let the children twist them in a checkerboard pattern. To avoid confusion for children, you can bind two colors of paper (for example, black and brown).

This work can be done in 2-3 lessons. After weaving the middle, you need to fix the edges with glue, then cut off all excess. If your child finds it difficult to cope with weaving, you can help him secure the strips from the wrong side.

Original and memorable applications are made from children's hands. To do them, you can circle your hand several times or dip it in paint and make several prints. The palms can also be circled on green paper, thereby making lush leaves.

The further scheme of work is simple: you need to cut the blanks along the contour and glue them to the prepared paper base. A regular circle made of cardboard (you can color) is suitable as it. It is not necessary to glue over the entire area. Below you can decorate the craft with "leaves".

In the fall, you can make a thematic application with your child. It can be based on ordinary leaves (birch, maple). This craft is simple and unusual to do. To preserve it, you need to use dry foliage.

You can glue the leaves on a glue stick or soft plasticine. The twigs can become the trunk of the plant. Depending on the child's perseverance, the leaves can be glued in several rows. This will create a unique volumetric craft.

Traditionally, the middle of such applications is filled with black seeds. However, you can take any other natural material for it (for example, buckwheat). Some people prefer to use coffee beans.

You can make applications on the theme "Sunflower" from the most unusual materials. For example, in addition to traditional paper and buckwheat, you can use self-adhesive velvet paper in your work. For schoolchildren, it no longer seems difficult to work with.

The colors of the material will captivate even the finicky. A sunflower with golden leaves will be the best craft for decorating a nursery. At the same time, working with self-adhesive paper is not difficult.

They develop children's motor skills using millet, peas, and lentils in their work. The applique with watermelon seeds and corn grains looks unusual.

Some parents offer their children to make crafts using textile scraps. And also applications can be done by using felt elements instead of paper fragments. The good thing about this nonwoven is that it is easy to cut and not capricious to stick.

It can also be used to make a wattle for a sunflower flower. It can be used to create volumetric appliqués.

Foamiran is an unusual and easy-to-use material. Children love to work with foam rubber. It is easy to cut it with scissors, but it is better to glue it on special glue to coated cardboard.

The material can be tinted with crayons, it can be twisted, stretched, giving the desired shape.Foamiran sunflowers look unusual and colorful. The material itself is light, it can be ordinary and glitter.

Beautiful appliqués with volume are obtained using junk material. Usually these are the middle of the caps from the plastic bottles and the cut off parts of the plastic spoons. For greater similarity, the fragments of the spoons are painted yellow.

In addition, children enjoy working with buttons. This not only develops motor skills, but also allows you to create unique applications. Buttons are often used to lay out pictures in whole or in part. For example, it can be the middle trim or the petals themselves.

Appliques from paper strips look beautiful. To make the petals, the stripes are bent into loops and glued at the end. After that, they are glued to a round base painted on cardboard.

Then a black center circle is glued on top. If it seems too simple, they take a white pen and draw peculiar check marks, seeds.

When you want something special, experiment with semicircular beads. They are glued to plasticine. And also children love to work with shiny sequins. They adhere well to plasticine, forming a realistic sunflower core.
