Applique is one of the most interesting and fascinating types of creativity, because using figures cut out of any material, you can create any image with your own hands. All you need to create an applique is the right materials and creativity.
Application is a relatively inexpensive and at the same time useful form of creativity for children, since the necessary materials are not expensive, and the field for creative implementation and development of creativity is extremely wide!
The benefits of creating applications for schoolchildren
Starting from preschool, children are offered classes in this type of creativity. The application is of great interest to children and quickly captivates even the most restless children into the world of creativity and creativity!
What are the advantages of creating applications for schoolchildren?
- Development of hand motor skills
The process of creating an applique consists of a whole complex of different actions: cutting out various shapes with scissors, determining their location, attaching the shapes to paper with glue and finalizing the resulting applique using colored pencils, felt-tip pens or pens.
- Understanding the world around us
In addition to the fact that you can create any image you want, you can also use a whole range of materials: paper, scraps of fabric and natural ingredients.
The paper can be colored, corrugated or craft. When choosing fabric, the choice becomes even greater: cotton, wool, velor, felt, silk and so on.
Among the natural ingredients, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, various cereals, pre-dried flowers, leaves and branches are most often used.
The use of all of the above materials broadens the child’s horizons. Children get acquainted with various types of materials of natural and non-natural origin and with all kinds of geometric shapes. With the help of them they embody their images in reality.
- Development of creative thinking and imagination
Creating applications is possible on any topic. Within a certain topic, be it fruits, vegetables, animals, landscapes or people, schoolchildren are given the opportunity to fully realize their vision of a particular topic on paper.
If a child has a talent for creating visual images, then appliqué is an excellent opportunity to reveal and increase their abilities.
Even if one of the children is not always able to create something interesting, the more the application is practiced, the faster the ability to create develops, and the imagination is enriched with new ideas and solutions.
The development of creative thinking is extremely important from an early age, since in adulthood it is much more effective to solve many issues using a creative approach.
- Aesthetic education
In the process of creating an image, you need to make a lot of effort: choose the shape of the material, choose colors that harmoniously combine with each other, and combine all the blanks into a complete work of art.
Each action in this creative process is aimed at developing aesthetic taste and the ability to correctly combine colors and shapes.
- Developing concentration and accuracy
Applique practice requires care. Working with scissors, glue and other materials, the child makes an effort to turn neat blanks into an equally neat image.
Extreme concentration on the creative process is also important. Only by completely immersing yourself in the process and concentrating all your attention on the moment “here and now” can you create something truly interesting and extraordinary.
At different stages of primary school education, applique classes always take place. But depending on the class, the process is somewhat modified, corresponding to the age and level of development of primary school students.

Klementyeva, E. E. Child-parent project “Children’s Book Week” in the middle group / E. E. Klementyeva. — Text: direct // Questions of preschool pedagogy. — 2022. — No. 5 (15). — P. 86-89. — URL: https://moluch.ru/th/1/archive/100/3540/ (access date: 01/25/2022).
Childhood... The time of the most vivid impressions, the deepest experiences, the most amazing - first - encounters with this world. Every child's acquaintance with literature begins with short poems, nursery rhymes, and Russian folk tales, which accompany his entire childhood and remain with him throughout his life.
Children's fiction, being a treasury of spiritual wealth for children and adults, makes it possible to compensate for the lack of communication between preschoolers and people around them, broaden their horizons, and enrich their life and moral experience. Literary works involve students in thinking about the actions and behavior of people and current events; encourage their evaluation and enrich the emotional sphere.
A child, immersing himself in a fairy-tale world, ascends both to the level of already mastered sociocultural material, and to the level of something not yet known by humanity (“the image of the needed future”).
In a fairy tale there are always indirect indications of points of growth of human capabilities and abilities. Penetrating through a fairy tale into the thickness of the cultural and historical layers of human development, the child acquires a creative vector, and his individual creative potential as a future active reader increases.
Raising a future reader is a long and difficult process, but if the initial stage of introducing a child into book culture is successful, then the number of young people who are unable or unwilling to join the spiritual experience of humanity through books will be significantly reduced.
Relevance of the problem.
A decrease in reader interest, on the one hand, and the obviousness that reading in the modern world is an essential component of life success, on the other hand.
The goal of the project: to introduce children and their parents to reading children's fiction.
Project objectives:
– to develop an interest in books and children’s reading, to acquire a stock of literary artistic impressions and listener experience;
– develop cognitive, creative and emotional activity in the process of introducing preschoolers to literature;
– broaden children’s horizons, enrich and activate their vocabulary;
– develop children’s basic design and creative abilities by involving them in the design of homemade books for kids;
– cultivate a value-based attitude towards a book as a work of art;
– involve parents in creating conditions for developing children’s interest in books at home and in kindergarten, and revive reading within the family.
Preliminary work with children:
– thematic design of a group room;
– drawing together with parents the characters of your favorite fairy tales;
– reading children's fairy tales, stories, poems;
– selection of poems and preparation of expressive reading for memorization;
– selection of portraits of children's poets and writers.
Type, type of project : short-term.
Participants: middle school children, parents, teachers.
Final event: presentation of homemade books to younger preschoolers.
Expected result.
– Acquaintance with fairy tales will develop the first moral standards in middle preschoolers, and step by step will form an interest and love for literature.
– Children’s horizons will expand, their vocabulary will be enriched and activated.
– Family reading will be revived.
With the development of various modern technologies of smartphones, tablets, and computers, a book has ceased to be an important subject not only in the lives of preschool children, but also of their parents. Not so long ago, a book was considered the best gift for every child; now its place has been taken by technology and all kinds of electronic toys. The tradition of home reading, unfortunately, has faded into oblivion.
Children's book week in the middle group was divided into five topics.
Monday is fairy tale day. Opening of “Book Week”. The group organized a thematic book exhibition. The children got acquainted with the exhibition, looked at the books, and remembered familiar Russian folk tales “Sister Alyonushka and Brother Ivanushka”, “The Zhikharka”, “The Cockerel and the Bean Seed”, as well as fairy tales by V. G. Suteev, S. Mikhalkov, the Brothers Grimm, Sh. Perrault, K, Chukovsky. We learned new games: “Body with fairy tales”, “Guess the fairy tale”. We held a quiz “Journey through Fairy Tales”.
On Tuesday, on the day of book experts, we introduced the children to the history of the book, talked about the rules for handling it, looked at book covers, learned what illustration, literary text, binding, page are, and became acquainted with the concept of printing house, library. We thought about the topic: “Why do we need books?”
On Wednesday, on the day of the game and theater “We are playing a fairy tale,” theatrical and play activities were organized in the group at the request of the children, conditions were created for independent creativity in the game using the “Ramming” corner. By coincidence, on this day artists from the Samara Philharmonic came to our kindergarten. Our children enjoyed watching the children's performance. Children consolidated such concepts as theater, performance, stage, artists, spectator. In the afternoon, the role-playing game “In the Bookstore” was played.
On the day of creativity “We do it ourselves - with our own hands,” the children and I tried to illustrate a fairy tale, and although our illustrations were not entirely successful, our drawing skills failed us, the children were very pleased with their creative result. After sleep, work was organized to repair old books in the corner of the “Knizhkina Hospital”.
On the closing day of Children's Book Week, children brought homemade books for children, made together with their parents, and looked at and discussed them with great interest. And after breakfast there was a presentation of the books made to the children of the group.

Application for 1st grade
For children who have just come to school from kindergarten, it is necessary to organize exciting and interesting activities.
The main goal is to attract children to creativity as much as possible, to capture their attention and accustom them to active mental activity, initiative, flexibility and the desire for creative discoveries.
If children are interested in these activities at an early stage, then interest and involvement will grow in the future.
The most optimal method of conducting a lesson is a lesson in the form of a game with the addition of educational moments.
For example, when studying the topic “animals” or “plants” in the subject “Man and the World”, in a creative lesson you can be given the task of creating an image of an animal of your choice, while giving an additional task of memorizing some information on the topic.
Then it is worth organizing a presentation of the work, where each of the children will present the image they created with their own hands in public, accompanied by a short story.
Children 6-7 years old love fairy-tale and cartoon characters, because they actively watch cartoons, and their parents often tell them fairy tales. It is worth taking this feature into account and organizing classes on relevant topics.
Application for 2nd grade
Having become one year older, the children feel an even greater need to understand the world around them and creative self-realization. Applique lessons need to be made more challenging.
For example, by adding even more creative materials and increasing the choice of topics. After studying for a whole year at school, children begin to realize that with effort, it is possible to achieve something: both a good grade and praise from the teacher.
During this period, it is worth paying attention to technology and practical skills. Children should remember key points, if necessary, take notes on the course of actions and practice them.
Application for 3rd grade
As you grow older, your creativity grows. By the third grade, children had already mastered the skill of working with scissors, colored paper and glue. My horizons have expanded significantly and I have an idea of the world. At this point, it is necessary to give children freedom of expression and creative flight.
Lessons should be conducted using methods to develop imagination, and also introduce children to various techniques for cutting and folding materials. Some of the most interesting techniques are: cutting off shapes, accordion folding, cutting out complex shapes and decoupage.
Text of the book “Applique with children 3-4 years old. Class notes"
Daria Nikolaevna Koldina Application for children 3–4 years old
From the author
By the end of the third year of life, the child acquires basic ideas about color, size, shape; listens to fairy tales; learns to compare real objects with their images in paintings; looks at the landscapes.
It is easier for a small child to express his impressions with the help of visual activities (three-dimensional image - in modeling, silhouette - in appliqué, graphic - in drawing). He conveys images of objects using plasticine, colored paper, and paints. The child should always have these materials at hand. But this is not enough. It is necessary to develop the child’s creative abilities, show modeling techniques, teach how to cut out colored paper, and introduce various drawing techniques. To improve visual skills, one should develop the perception of form, color, rhythm, and aesthetic concepts.
A 3-4 year old child can do a lot: wash his hands, brush his teeth, feed himself, dress and undress, use the toilet. The baby develops simple verbal reasoning. He answers questions from adults with pleasure and is eager to communicate with other children; His gaming skills and voluntary behavior develop.
To develop children's creativity and mastery of visual arts, it is necessary to take into account the interests of children, use a variety of lesson topics and forms of organization (individual and collective work). It is very important to create a friendly environment in class.
At first, the child is interested in the process of making the craft, but gradually he begins to be interested in its quality. He strives to stick the object as neatly as possible, and after class admire his work, tell him what color he chose, what this object can do, and what kind of applique he turned out to have.
In this manual, we provide notes on exciting activities for children 3–4 years old on appliqué made from colored paper and natural materials.
These activities contribute to the implementation of the following tasks: introducing the child to the surrounding beauty; development of imagination, independence, perseverance, the ability to complete work, accuracy and hard work, skills in processing various materials, which in the future the child will be able to independently use to make similar crafts.
The classes are organized according to the thematic principle: one topic unites all classes (on the surrounding world, on speech development, on modeling, on appliqué, on drawing) during the week.
It is advisable to conduct an appliqué lesson after the children have sculpted the item.
An appliqué lesson for children aged 3–4 years is held once a week and lasts 15 minutes. The manual includes 36 notes of complex plot-game activities designed for the academic year (from September to May).
Read the lesson notes carefully in advance and, if something doesn’t suit you, make changes; prepare the necessary material and equipment. Preliminary work is also important (reading a work of art, becoming familiar with surrounding phenomena, looking at drawings and paintings).
By observing each child in class or playing with other children, you can learn more about them and deal with challenging behavior.
If a child quits his activity
, as soon as something doesn’t work out for him, it means he doesn’t know how to overcome obstacles. This can be taught by offering the child other ways to achieve what he wants. Then he will understand that there must be a way out of any situation. For example, if a child wants to draw a snowman, but he can’t do it, invite him and you to make an applique of a snowman from white paper on a dark background.
If your child quickly loses interest in an activity
, perhaps it is too simple or, on the contrary, complex for him. Understand the reason and make the task harder or easier. For example, a child needs to applique a turnip with tops. If this is too easy for him, have him stick a basket and place different vegetables in it using colored paper. If the task is too difficult for the child, you can invite him to stick a turnip without tops.
If your child gets tired quickly
, cannot sit for even five minutes, try to develop his endurance using massage, hardening, and sports exercises. In art classes, alternate between active and calm actions more often.
To ensure that the child understands the task and completes it
, it is necessary to develop his attention and ability to concentrate. Play the game “What Has Changed?” with your child. (place 3-4 toys in front of the child, and then quietly hide one of them or swap the toys).
Try to find as many ways as possible to involve the child in bringing the task to its logical conclusion (for example): “Let’s stick balls on the elephant, otherwise he has nothing to play with” or “Let’s make a big house for the bunny and the rooster, otherwise they have nowhere to live.”
We recommend conducting appliqué classes with children 3–4 years old in accordance with the following sample lesson plan.
1. Creating a gaming situation to attract children’s attention and develop emotional responsiveness (riddles, songs, nursery rhymes; a fairy-tale character in need of help; dramatization games; exercises to develop memory, attention and thinking; outdoor games).
1. Acquaintance with the subject that children will subsequently depict in the appliqué; determining the sequence of laying out pre-prepared parts, applying glue to them; attaching forms to paper and gluing.
2. Bringing the application to the desired image with the help of additional decoration with felt-tip pens or decorating the work with small pieces of colored paper (in this case, it is necessary to draw the children’s attention to expressive means: correctly selected colors and interesting details).
3. Review of finished works (they are given only a positive assessment). Children should be happy with the result and learn to evaluate their crafts.
There are three types of application:
Subject
– individual objects are depicted that do not participate in any events (fruit in a vase);
Plot
– a composition is compiled based on events (actions) in fairy tales, stories, poems, nursery rhymes; by personal recommendation;
Decorative
– a pattern is made of geometric shapes on a strip, square, circle.
We list the application methods that are used in working with children 3–4 years old.
Application from prepared parts of an object
– the child must assemble an object (pyramid, bear) from the proposed parts and stick it on paper.
Application from prepared silhouettes of objects
– the child makes a composition from one or more cut-out objects, and then pastes it onto a sheet of paper (cucumber, tomato).
Breaking-mosaic
- small circles, triangles, squares or torn pieces of colored paper are glued inside the outline (autumn leaves on a tree).
Cutting along the contour
– colored paper is torn along the intended contour to convey the texture of the object (the curly body of a lamb, a fluffy cloud).
Rolling paper
– the paper tears into small pieces, each piece crumples and rolls into a lump (rowan berries, fluffy chicken).
Overlay applique
– parts that are identical in shape but different in size are glued onto each other, starting from the largest to the smallest (snail, turtle, flower).
Application of dried leaves
– the leaves are laid out and arranged into the intended object, then glued onto a sheet of paper (fish, swan).
For applique classes you will need: colored paper, magazine paper, colored napkins, dried leaves, album sheets, colored cardboard, felt-tip pens, PVA glue, oilcloth lining and a rag.
Expected skills and abilities of a child by age 4:
• has an interest in the art of applique from pre-prepared figures;
• knows how to select colors that match the color of objects;
• knows the order of gluing (first you need to lay out all the prepared parts of the application on a sheet of paper and make an image of the object, and then gradually stick them on);
• knows how to carefully glue (first you need to put the part with the colored side on the oilcloth, carefully pick up glue on a brush and apply it in a thin layer from the middle to the center, apply the side with the glue applied to a sheet of paper, gently pressing it with a cloth or napkin);
• knows how to stick simple objects (fruits, tree leaves) onto a sheet of paper;
• knows how to compose a subject application from 2–4 parts (house, traffic light);
• knows how to create a simple composition (a plate of fruit, flying airplanes);
• knows how to make patterns on a strip, square, rectangle, circle from prepared geometric elements, alternating them by color, shape and size (decorate a scarf);
• knows how to decorate a product using felt-tip pens (draw the eyes and nose of a hare);
• knows how to create an object not only from colored paper, but also from magazine paper, dried leaves and napkins.
If your child can't do any of the above, don't worry. You will still have time to catch up.
We wish you success!

– Where does the sun spend the night? - In grandma's bed. - Who is his grandmother? - Blue sky. - What will it cover with? - A woolly cloud. -Who will cover him? - Grandfather is the wind.
Ask the children: “Where does the sun sleep? (In the sky.)
What color is the sky?
(Blue, blue.)
What covers the sun?
(A cloud.)
What color are the clouds?
(White, gray.)
Now you and I will also put the sun to bed.”
Show the children a blue piece of cardboard and ask: “What does it look like?” (To the sky.)
Then show them the yellow napkin and ask: “What do you think can be done with this napkin?”
(Sun.)
Give each child a yellow napkin and help them tear it in a circle to make a “sun.”
Show the children a white napkin and ask: “What can you do with this napkin?” (Clouds, clouds.)
Place a white napkin in front of each child and offer to tear the white napkin along a line into four parts, crumple each part - you get four clouds. Now we need to place the sun and clouds in the sky. The child sticks on the sun first, and then the clouds.
Theme of the week: “In the forest”
Lesson 8. Leaves from the forest (Applique from dried leaves)
Program content.
Show children that the applique can be made from dried leaves. Learn to relate an object to its shape. Continue to teach how to accompany the words of the poem with movements corresponding to the text. Cultivate compassion and kindness.
Handout.
A landscape sheet on which colored outlines of two leaves of different shape and color are drawn; dried leaves of appropriate shapes and colors; leaves cut out of colored paper; glue, glue brush, rag, oilcloth lining.
Progress of the lesson
Give the kids leaves cut out of colored paper and invite them to play with these leaves while listening to the poem:
The leaf flew up, (Flash the leaf).
The leaf is spinning, The leaf is spinning,
(Twist the leaf.)
It falls under your feet.
(Lower the leaf to your feet.)
The leaf is torn, torn, torn.
(Tear the leaf.)
The leaf wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles.
(Crumple up the leaves.)
Play out the situation that two Leafs came to visit the children from the forest: everyone in the forest tramples them, the Leafs want to find their home.
Place in front of each child a landscape sheet with colored outlines of two leaves of different shapes and colors drawn on it, and ask them to find a house for each leaf.
Tell the children: “In order to prevent the leaves from losing their houses again, they need to be glued: apply glue to the back of the leaf with a brush and press it to the paper with a cloth. So we hid the leaves in the houses.”
Applications for 4th grade
At the last stage of primary education, children finally develop the skills necessary for creativity. All that remains is to focus on further developing skills in working with materials and revealing the abilities of each student.
Classes must be conducted with the aim of maximizing creative potential, so that each student creates a completely unique and extraordinary work.
At this stage, applique classes should be partially transferred to home in the form of homework. Parents can help their child in the creative process by bringing in their ideas and showing other techniques for creating an image.
Plus, working on an applique together is a great way to spend time together!
Regular applique practice can significantly enrich your imagination and even develop accuracy. This is a rather painstaking process, and, moreover, when the work is finished, it is necessary to clean the workplace.
Creative development when practicing applique in childhood helps people of all kinds of professions in adulthood, for example, designers, architects, engineers and constructors, since this type of creativity develops creative thinking.
Striped furniture

1h
. Creating a game situation.
Reading the fairy tale “The Three Bears.” Remember the fairy tale “The Three Bears” with your children. Find out what Mashenka broke.
Show the children the stripes (one long, one short, for each child) and say that such stripes remain after the application and should be thrown away. But one day the stripes “revolted” and said that they could also be useful: “We can make different furniture,” they said.
Conversation with children about furniture. Find out what kind of furniture can be made from such strips.
You can sleep on the bed,
Chairs, table - rearrange.
I will put books in the closet,
I will cover the chairs.
Invite the children to draw an image of a table or bed on a flannelgraph. The teacher accompanies the drawing of the image with a comment, while naming the parts of the furniture: table top, legs, back, etc.
When laying out an image on a flannelgraph, the teacher asks the children to lay out the same image on sheets of paper.
We slept on the bed
Things have already been put away in the closet.
We sat on a chair
And we ate at the table.
3h
. Independent work.
After the children have posted all the images, offer to stick on the piece of furniture they like and give it to the three bears in the hut. When doing the work, the teacher reminds you of the sequence of laying out: first you need to lay out the long strip, and then the short ones; about the correct location on the sheet - in the middle, about accuracy. When gluing, learn about the rules for working with glue.
Ask the children what they did? What is this or that furniture for? Name the parts.
