Hello! I was inspired by autumn applications and therefore here is a new selection of ideas. This is especially true for parents of children of kindergarten or school age.
This topic is also very interesting to me now, so I’ve collected it in my piggy bank. But before we get into the master classes and the ideas themselves, I want to express my gratitude.
I sincerely thank those artists who make the results of their creativity available to the public. I took some from social networks, links are in the photo. Of course, I don't wash them. I also thank the parents, whose wild imagination and sleepless nights allow us to save time and take a ready-made idea into implementation.
Let's start with simpler applications and move on to more complex ones. You will also find templates, diagrams and even coloring pages. Let's learn more about them.
I also invite you to view interesting ideas made from pine cones, such as hedgehogs, Autumn bouquets, crafts made from natural materials, creativity for children and applications from tree leaves.
Application on the theme “Autumn” for kindergarten, for children in middle and senior preparatory groups
So, my dears. Children love crafts and applications. Of course, preschool children are not very skilled yet. For example, they are still just learning to cut along the outline and color without going beyond the boundaries. However, I repeated almost all the ideas in this section with my 5-year-old child. Unfortunately, there were so many of them that I didn’t take pictures. Therefore, the photos were taken from the Internet.
I really like these ideas where you can use cotton swabs, cotton pads or pieces of sponge for drawing. For example, here is a tree with colored foliage.
We remember the peculiarity of children: they are still poor at using scissors and the cut out shapes may not turn out quite even and neat. It is precisely for such cases that this applique idea is suitable.
If the child is already good with his fingers, then you can stimulate fine motor skills by making such a tree. The photo below shows a detailed master class. I don’t give dimensions, and they are not needed, the idea itself is important.
It is better to glue paper blanks with PVA glue. It is considered one of the safest adhesive materials. Therefore, it is used in children's institutions.
Advice! It is better to make the strips on the “foliage” the same size, for example 1*5 cm. Then they will turn out neat.
We also made a similar application. The child really liked it. To depict autumn on a tree, you need to take paper from yellow to red shades. The barrel can be cut out of self-adhesive paper.
Advice! For this master class, select double-sided colored paper. Then the wrong white side will not stick out.
A ruler helped us fold the circles evenly. The child quickly understands this.
If it is difficult to cut out round leaves or there is no time for it. Then give your child cotton pads and paints. And let him paint these round pieces in autumn colors. This can be done with a pipette, brush, or by collecting colored water in a spoon. The pieces need to be glued after drying using the same PVA glue.
Advice! Tell your child that you can stack the discs one on top of the other and then the applique will turn out to be three-dimensional.
Below you can see a more refined idea. Instead of disks, ordinary cotton wool is used. And instead of the usual cardboard barrel, it was cut out of a sleeve. By the way, you will have to make the trunk yourself, because children usually do not have enough strength to cut such thick cardboard.
By showing your imagination, you and your child can learn the seasons at the same time. I use just this one idea, see below.
When we were children, we loved to draw with pastels. And then this idea caught my eye.
Pastels, by the way, are sold in most supermarkets in the stationery and creativity department.
The child takes a blank sheet of paper and draws any ornament by hand. Or you will already give him a printed template with a piece of paper. This is optional.
Take the desired pastel color and paint over the voids. You need to blend it with your fingers.
The next master class really helped us out for Easter. Yes! We took this idea as a basis, but replaced the leaf template with a rabbit. You can also come up with a craft for any holiday: New Year, March 8, February 23, and even Valentine's Day.
And everything is done simply. You need to take:
- sheet A4,
- scissors,
- glue,
- multi-colored paper.
Or use a template like this.
On the second sheet you need to glue strips of colored paper. They can be the same size, or they can differ in length and width. Also, it should not be positioned horizontally, but vertically or diagonally.
This is what you get on the reverse side. On the other you have a drawing of a leaf.
And cut the blank along the contour.
This is how applications can turn out.
Here are the templates for them.
In this master class you can bring your own changes. For example, instead of stripes, make a chaotic tear-off composition. Instead of paper, use table napkins with designs.
That's not all, see what happens in other sections.

Autumn applique for students in grades 1, 2, 3, 4 made of paper with templates
Well, now let's move on to more complex crafts. I’ll say right away that I took some from social networks, that’s why there’s a link there. If you're interested, type it into a search engine and look there. But here I have selected ones that are more suitable for schoolchildren.
For example, this application. It is quite complex and requires accuracy. However, a 4th grade student can definitely handle it.
Advice! Use double-sided paper.
I won’t describe the steps, everything can be seen in the picture. This template was used. Please note that the stem of the leaf is not cut off, but falls on the fold. This is fundamentally important.
Next is the master class “Autumn City” .
So, for houses you need to cut 7 roofs: 4 trapezoids and 3 triangles. Our houses will be in the form of rectangles of different sizes.
Place rectangles on the base and distribute them so that they do not completely cover each other. In other words, create a composition. After this, they can be fixed to the cardboard with glue. Then we put them on the upper sides of the roof and also fix them.
The leaves will be circles, which we will make with a hole punch from different shades. We also cut out tree crowns; they can be uneven in shape. And we finish the craft.
Use pieces of colored paper from which you made leaves with a hole punch. You can put together such a tree. Waste-free production is achieved.
The next craft is with a mouse.
Use this template.
Here's an idea for a fall harvest basket. Instead of paper, cotton pads, felt and foamiran are suitable for depicting fruits.
Here is a diagram for the blanks.
Do you want to laugh? Then it's time to sculpt such a positive acorn.
You need to take two sheets of paper: a brown shade and a yellow or orange one. We cut out two blanks. From a brown shade, a square with sides 6*6 cm. From yellow we make a rectangle 6*5 cm.
Fold the square in half and insert the short side of the rectangle into it. Glue them together.
Next, you need to give the bottom of the rectangle the shape of an acorn or bowl by cutting off the ends. We bend the edges of the brown workpiece on the wrong side.
We complete the remaining details with a felt-tip pen.
These are the beauties they turn out to be.
Next up are some cool umbrellas. This important element of autumn is reflected in applications.
Below is a step-by-step master class.
To make cones, it is convenient to first draw a circle with a compass. Cut it out. And then cut into 3-4 equal parts.
Leaflet templates can be used those presented in the lower sections of the article.
Based on this idea, such masterpieces are created.
And here is a voluminous idea with a maple leaf and umbrellas.
Advice! When you glue the umbrellas, go beyond the base.
This is the diagram that will come in handy for you.
Next in front of you is a cute dog with a romantic soul.
This is what the details look like.
Another voluminous idea in the form of a pumpkin. You've definitely done something like this before. There is absolutely nothing complicated here.
Cut out these parts. Place it on colored paper and trace it. You cut out the blanks or fix them on the base, as in the photo.
Advice! For pumpkin, choose several shades of orange, then it will turn out brighter.
Here is a version of an autumn umbrella with a squirrel.
It can be painted and covered with plasticine. Fill the white voids with cereals, berries or napkins.
You will also like the mushroom basket.
By the way, the mushroom itself can be anything: from saffron milk cap to fly agaric.
A dress for the beauty of autumn will not leave any girl indifferent.
Here's a diagram for the details. The skirt can be made from toilet paper or a napkin. Just fold it like an accordion and secure the top part of the workpiece together. You can see it in the photo.
Warm tea is sorely missed in autumn. Typically, these are herbal drinks with lemon, cinnamon and ginger. This is what inspires.
Take the diagram.
By the way, the mug can be made in a single color!
Open palms inspire confidence. We will also put autumn leaves on them.
Here is the palm template. You need two of them. One side is not cut off, but gets folded.
This is what it should look like on paper. The diagram of the maple leaf will be below.
The squirrel was amused. The work is painstaking, but very nice. I give it for inspiration.
Of course, the most important thing is that the squirrel turns out to be friendly and cheerful.
And then we add any design.
A voluminous basket with fly agaric mushrooms made of paper. They can also be repeated from felt or foamiran.
The leaves are folded like an accordion. Here's a sketch.
You can also take paper helpers. For example, bushings. Flatten them to make an oval. Dip the edge in paint and make imprints in the form of leaves.
Or use it completely in an application. The inside can be painted or filled with napkin balls.
Like here. Plasticine balls are also suitable for filling.
A little more children's creativity. Autumn spoils us with rain and clouds. This is what is shown below.
But nature itself is simply beautiful. Especially when the sun comes out. Therefore, we personify her in the form of a beautiful girl with an ornament of flowers, leaves and harvest.
To make the task easier for the child, part of the application can be drawn. And make some details voluminous.
The composition of the lower craft is interesting. The master made it against the background of a circle. And along the edge he let out branches and moss.
Older guys can repeat this beautiful idea.
Or this one.
Well, at the end of this section, I’ll show you some cool hedgehogs.
Take a sheet of paper. Fold it in half. In the upper part of the half we draw the face of a hedgehog.
Cut out the nose along the contour.
And we fold the rest of the sheet like an accordion.
Glue both ends together.
Decorate them as desired.
Volumetric ideas made from natural materials and tree leaves
Let's quickly run through this section and see how we can use nature's gifts.
Cereals, dried legumes and even pasta are suitable here.
To do this you need to draw a large picture. Apply PVA glue inside it, onto which you apply tightly to each other to fix the cereal.
Scales from pine cones will help you make a basket, and a hedgehog made from postcards will make the idea brighter.
Migratory birds have already created their wedges in the sky. So we will depict them from peas, buckwheat and seeds.
In autumn there is not enough warmth and sunshine, let’s make it ourselves.
The whole panel is made from pine cones and withered grass. Also use dried flowers.
The cones lend themselves well to coloring and are very similar to flower buds.
Another material for creativity can be pumpkin seeds.
They are applied to the drawing, fixed with PVA glue.
The seeds are also well painted with gouache. Only after this let them dry, otherwise the child will get all dirty.
Wheat harvests are also possible only in the fall. And they can also be depicted as seeds.
Pistachio shells will add texture and volume to the basket.
Next, let's look at rowan bunches. It is also well fixed with PVA glue. Just keep in mind that if you use fresh berries, they will begin to dry out after a couple of weeks. The berries will become smaller in volume and shrink.
You can lay out the fruits in a chaotic order or, conversely, tightly next to each other in even rows.
Or use bunches as accent elements.
But let’s look at rowan differently! Let's take it just for prints.
Don't have natural berries on hand? No problem, roll it out of napkins in red or bright orange shades. And stick it into the voids of this drawing. You can simply paint over the leaves and twigs.
Below are ideas for umbrellas we already know. But now their decorations are not paper, but real ones made of leaves, berries and dried flowers.
Next, I offer options for panels, for example, in the form of a woman.
Or a bouquet in a vase.
Below we will talk about what can be made from fallen tree leaves.
Lizard, lion and ballerinas - this is not the whole list of ideas. But they definitely deserve attention.
For ballerinas, take these diagrams.
And here is a selection of eagle owls. Just repeat the arrangement of the leaves as in the photo and you will succeed.
It is also easy to make applications from leaves in the form of fish.
The jackdaw is created from two maple leaves of different sizes.
Since we've moved on to birds, this bird will definitely win the work competition.
What else is there in autumn? Rain.
Even the leaves get wet from it.
The mushroom theme stands alone. Therefore, we make sure to make such gifts of the forest.
We looked at how we can use the material that nature provides. Below I will tell you what can be made from scrap materials.
Application from dry leaves “Birds on a branch”
Dry plant material is perfect for depicting animals, birds and various funny creatures. When making an application from dried leaves, the author of the book “Crafts from Dried Flowers and Leaves,” Tatyana Plotnikova, advises building the work according to the following principle:
- determine the leaves for the base shapes (head, body) and their location on the base;
- pick up small details (ears, tails, paws);
- bring your craft to life by giving it some distinctive features.
Little crafters can create an applique called “Birds on a Branch.”
Leaf craft: YouTube/EMK-Em
Prepare the following materials:
- sheet of cardboard;
- dry leaves of different shapes and sizes;
- dry twig;
- rowan or viburnum berries;
- PVA glue;
- plasticine.
Step-by-step guide to making a painting:
- Glue a dry twig at the bottom of a sheet of cardboard. Decorate it with berries and dry leaves.
- Create the birds: glue 2 large yellow leaves - these are the bodies, attach smaller leaves (wings) in the middle. Make a tail from small narrow leaves and glue it to the bottom of the body.
- Bring the birds to life: mold beaks and eyes from plasticine and attach them in the right places.
Ideas for crafts from scrap materials (plasticine, plastic)
Here I mean fabric, plasticine, disposable tableware and other accessories that can be found in almost every home.
Therefore, here is a master class on creating such a plasticine application.
First, draw the shape of a leaf. Then tear off a piece of plasticine and smear it inside the drawing with the pad of your finger. Next, cut out the blank along the lines and glue it onto the base.
Advice! For creativity from plasticine, take soft types.
The following photo depicts the crown of trees in the form of spirals. First, a long and thin sausage is rolled, which is twisted into a spiral.
A plastic disposable plate can become the basis for a mushroom.
Or warm the bird.
You can cut out animal details from a piece of fabric and paste them onto a piece of paper.
Another option is made of plasticine.
There will be a lot more interesting things to come.
How to make a hedgehog?
Autumn hedgehogs are a very popular idea for creativity. Its needles can be depicted with leaves, seeds, plasticine, well, you will soon see for yourself.
Here is an application for little ones. With button decoration.
Or seeds and cereals.
Character from the cartoon "Tilimilitryamdia".
This template will come in handy.
The hedgehog bears rowan on its needles.
Parts in the shape of children's hands also form a composition.
Or from long strips that are glued together in the shape of a drop.
The circles we already know will also come in handy.
Just draw this cute animal using watercolor.
It is possible to cut out a handsome man from a postcard and decorate his needles with natural materials.
Also a fabric hedgehog.
Look at the finished results of children's creativity, taken from the school competition exhibition.
You may find these diagrams and drawings of hedgehogs useful in your creativity.
They can be painted, filled with plasticine or cut along the contour.
Making an autumn forest, trees and nature
But the most important advantage of autumn is the colorful trees. They just brighten up this slushy time. Therefore, we cannot do without images of forests and nature.
Let's start first with single trees.
Master class on making this curly tree.
You need strips 15*1 cm long. They need to be fanned out on the base. And having fastened one end to the trunk, begin to twist the strip so that it looks like a wave. We also fix the second end.
Glue pieces of colored paper onto them.
There is still a forest in front of you. Absolutely any texture and color of blanks will do.
Below is an applique postcard.
Try to depict the forest and nature with leaf prints. To do this, you need to apply gouache to one side of it. Press the painted side onto the paper, transferring the pattern of veins.
The same technique can be used for the “Autumn Outside the Window” master class.
Autumn will swirl you in these applications. And gouache will depict the wind.
Leaves glued in rows on top of each other are very similar to a forest of birches and fir trees.
Look at the variety for creativity.
Birch trees also look beautiful with their own yellow birch leaves.
The trunk can be drawn or glued from cardboard.
Next, the work “Wind”. It's also not difficult to repeat.
Also create an abundance tree with your own hands!
Use candied fruits, nuts, dried fruits, seeds.
The crown of the pumpkin seed tree is very iridescent and bright. The kids will love it.
Did you like the ideas? Below are diagrams and templates that you can use as a basis.
