Applications for children are one of the most favorite games and fun. But it’s by playing that the little ones learn! They gradually become accustomed to the world of colors and shapes. And they also get satisfaction from the fact that they themselves, with their own hands, can create beauty. And if parents want to help their child, we will give you ideas for appliqué made from colored paper.
What we can offer:
- Schemes and stencils for applications of different figures: flowers, animals, insects and fairy-tale characters.
- We'll show you what interesting, non-traditional appliqué techniques there are.
- And, of course, we will give you a lot of positive emotions! We are sure you will have fun with us!
And most importantly, all these children's applications are for toddlers of different ages. And in one year the child will be interested in playing, and the older one will enjoy this activity. Why? Because we have prepared a collection that includes applications for children with different abilities.
For the little ones
Who said that plot application is difficult? Even the younger group can cope with some types of applications. Now we will create a beautiful basket with flowers in it.
What we may need for the application:
- Colored thin paper;
- Cardboard;
- Pencil;
- Stencils;
- Glue.
Step 1 . If possible, draw a basket, there is no way to draw it, then you can print it from our website. Choose the color yourself, just remember that there will be flowers on her, and she is the background for them.
Glue the basket to a thicker paper base or cardboard. Then our difficult volumetric paper applique will hold firmly. Let's start creating.
Step 2 . Using a stencil, cut out circles from a sheet of paper. A stencil can be different objects: small cups, coins, round bottles, cups.
We take paper of bright colors, since the pictures should be colorful and joyful. Just the right entertainment for children 2-3 years old, exactly what they love.
Step 3 . Place a pencil on the colored part, in the middle of the circle, and wrap paper around it. In order for us to get voluminous applications, it is enough to even slightly press the circles against the rod.
Step 4 . Without removing the pencil, dip the center of the future bell or orchid into glue and press it with a pencil. You can continue and stick a second circle of smaller diameter into the very center in the same way to create voluminous poppies and daisies.
You can also keep children occupied with plasticine, for example, Hey Clay Sticky Packs. It differs from the usual one in that it does not stick to hands or furniture, and is much brighter and easier to mold. After 24 hours it hardens and becomes a toy. Includes a free application for step-by-step modeling training.
Positive aspects of applications
When creating applications, the child develops fine motor skills, masters and improves coordination of movements. Working in this technique, the baby actively fantasizes, develops observation and logical thinking, it is easier for him to learn new colors and combine them with each other. With the help of this type of activity, the child learns to divide one whole into several parts, and vice versa - to create one whole from several parts.
Hedgehog
Applications for the little ones are creativity, where the abilities of even the tiniest fidget are taken into account. And this example with the “hedgehog” is just right for toddlers who, by the age of three, still cannot cut and glue, but they will be great at participating in the work. How?
- There are two options for preparing to make this applique for kids.First
. We trace the baby's palm on a sheet of black or brown paper. Cut it out. Glue it. Four palms will be enough.Second option
. Or we use finger paints. The child dips his palm, and we help him put his palm in this way several times, at different angles in the upward direction, to make a fan. - Cut out something like a boat from paper of the same color. This is the body and nose of the hedgehog (cut out a small circle and glue the “nose” to the edge of the muzzle).
- We place the body under the “needles”.
- You can draw a mouth and an eye, or make semicircles from red and white paper. Don't forget about the pupils.
- Paper applications would be incomplete without a plot. We come up with a story with the baby. Our hedgehog is coming from the forest, so we’ll cut out and glue his “prey”: an apple and a mushroom.
- We complement the paper applique with small black paws.
Materials for applications
The most popular material for applique is paper. As a basis, you can take simple colored, wrapping, corrugated, foil, self-adhesive, kraft paper, and also use a variety of clippings from magazines and notebook covers.
Often the basis for such crafts is used:
- cereals and dried plant seeds (rice, sunflower seeds, peas, beans);
- dried leaves of trees and shrubs, flower petals;
- small shells, small pebbles;
- sand;
- plasticine;
- felt;
- buttons;
- cotton wool, cotton pads.
Naturally, to create an applique you will need scissors; you can use simple stationery or curly ones that will make the edges of the paper in a certain pattern. You can use shaped hole punches to create small, neat shapes (butterfly, tree leaf, heart, star). PVA glue, glue stick, and silicone glue are good for gluing.
Volumetric ladybug
This application is perfect for children 3-4 years old. It is very easy to make.
Application execution sequence:
- Cut out 2 circles from red paper. And from black - 2 semi-ovals.
- We bend the circles in half and glue one half, connecting them at the fold line. We connect the semi-oval at the top in the middle above the circles.
- Draw black dots on the circles. In this applique for children, all that remains is to design the antennae and eyes.
Winter house
The white sheet is torn into small pieces - this will be snow. This activity is great for developing fingers. Ready-made house templates are printed and cut out. The house is pasted onto the main background, the roof is decorated with cotton wool. Nearby, snowdrifts are created with cotton material.
And at the final stage it is decorated with a previously prepared paper snowball.
Deer
Disposable plates are very good as an applique on the winter theme. You can easily make a Christmas reindeer out of them. The plate is painted brown. Horns are created using handprints.
Cardboard rectangles are suitable for paws. All parts are cut out and attached to each other. Eyes made of beads or paper are glued onto the muzzle.
Snowman
To form a snowman, you will need to cut out the base from a white sheet. Cotton balls are glued to the prepared material. A cap, eyes and a nose are attached to the snowman. Handles and pom-poms can be added if desired.

Night in winter
A wide variety of materials are used for winter nights. Therefore, this application is suitable for schoolchildren. For better results, just watch the video and repeat the finished master class. The result will be a nice decoration for your apartment.
At the initial stage, you should decide what will be depicted in the picture. On a winter night there is always a birch tree with a house and a fence, and everything is covered with snow. The desired idea should be sketched on cardboard.
The next step is to prepare a mass of papier-mâché. To do this, napkins are manually crushed and filled with hot water and finally beaten with a blender. Excess moisture is removed by normal squeezing.
PVA glue is added to the finished material until a plastic consistency is formed. The mass is thoroughly mixed and oil is added.
Using plasticine, snowdrifts, logs and branches are formed. The entire drawing is processed with the finished mass. The top of the product is coated with PVA glue. The work must dry well.
The final stage will be painting with gouache. Blue or black would be perfect for it. For snow, you should choose white, and light blue should be used as a shadow. Draw black stripes on white birch. For the house and fence you should choose the desired shade of brown.
