Applique on 'Winter' and other subjects for children of different ages

Surely everyone who has had to stay at least four days with children from four years old and older, heard this phrase from them: "Boring! What should I do? "Children are active, they constantly need to be busy. And their level of development is not yet able to offer the little person the kinds of entertainment.

Hence, adults need to be always ready to offer the child an interesting and useful lesson that can be a favorite hobby for him. And what if you show your baby how to make an applique? The ability to compose from the details of the picture develops spatial thinking, artistic taste and skill of creativity. In addition, if you offer your child a seasonal theme for the application, you can preliminarily spend a cognitive conversation with him about the seasons.

For example, the application on the theme "Winter" involves talking about what this season is characterized by, what can be the entertainment at this time of children. And the application "Summer Glade" will arrange interlocutors to discuss seasonal changes with the onset of a warm period. Children are happy to list the adult not only a variety of entertainment at this time, but also tell about the fruits and berries that keep up in the summer.

To offer a job to a small master or an artisan should take into account his age characteristics. After all, a task that is too difficult can forever turn the kid away from any kind of manual activity, and also significantly affect his self-esteem. But an overly simple task can bore boredom, and the child will not want to study independently.

Therefore, for the very young, you must prepare the cut details in advance. They should be quite large. And the arrangement of these details for the general picture is best to choose arbitrary. For example, for the "Aquarium" application it is enough to offer a few very different cut fish and a blue leaf that simulates water in the aquarium. And the application on the theme "Winter", let it consist of a Christmas tree or several trees and a variety of animals. The background itself can be white or blue.

For older children it is useful to prepare details smaller, imitating not an entire object, but only a part of it, so that the small creator has to work not only with his hands, but with his head, making whole images of the details. For example, for the "Aquarium" picture you can offer fish, consisting of individual parts: body, tail and upper fin. And the application "Winter" will consist of several white circles of different sizes, from which the kid "blinds" the snowman, carrots for his nose. And for the New Year's appliqués, you can offer him a Christmas tree and tree toys, which should be beautifully "hung" on it with the help of glue.

For older children, who will soon need to enter the first class, you can offer yourself to translate the outlines of patterns to a colored sheet and cut with scissors. For applications about summer, fairy-tale episodes are quite acceptable, such as "Winnie the Pooh and all-all-all" or "Carlson, who lives on the roof." It is necessary to do this with the purpose of engaging in labor activity with the development of speech. In the course of work it is quite appropriate to talk a little about fairy tales.

The application on the theme "Winter" can be the first step to creating postcards in the style of scrapbooking. Of course, this kind of work is more complicated than all the above. However, the fact that the result is not just a picture, but the right thing that can be used as a gift for the holiday, gives the growing personality an incentive to improve the skills.

Also, more adult children can already be introduced to the basics of the application on the fabric. The first step in this kind of art can be an application on the theme "Winter" by gluing fabric parts onto the substrate with polyethylene and a hot iron. At the same time, the ironing skill will be developed, which is also necessary for the child in the future.

It is clear that engaging in application is a necessary and developing activity. It contributes to the complex formation of the younger generation, in which the most diverse aspects of the individual can find a field for creative output.
