Application "Mushrooms" from various materials

If you want to enhance your baby’s knowledge of the world around him, teach him how to create it. For example, the application “Mushrooms”, created in various ways, will be an excellent cognitive creative process, taught the child the basics of artistic skill. In addition, it is easy to implement and does not require special material and time costs. Each work will be useful to carry out on a different blank - a picture or photograph with a particular type of mushroom.

What is required?

To complete the application in any way, you need the following:

• Paper or cardboard for the base on which everything will be glued.
• Glue (PVA or pencil).
• Scissors.
• Mushroom pattern (contour or color picture, drawn or printed).

The rest of the materials depend on which method you choose. You can use colored or corrugated paper, napkins, cereals, plasticine and paints.

Application on the theme "Mushrooms" from natural material

Very simple, but beautiful, you can make crafts from natural material - dry leaves. Freshly picked material must be dried with an iron or between pages of an unnecessary book. It will turn out a beautiful and original application. Mushrooms in this technique are made as follows:

1. Cut out the blank for the hat and legs from thin paper.
2. Glue every detail with dry leaves of the desired shade.
3. Glue all the elements into place.
4. At the bottom of the base, weed out thin leaves or dried blades of grass.

Mosaic of cereals

A very unusual, but original and natural applique “Mushrooms” will turn out if you use grains. For this purpose, cereals can also be used. As a template, a drawing of a white mushroom is suitable. It will preserve the natural shades of materials, although they can be painted. It is better to apply any shade after gluing. It is usually difficult to color the bulk material.

To make an application of cereals, work in the following sequence:

1. Print or draw a mushroom outline.
2. Apply glue to the inside of the foot. Sprinkle the semolina on top.
3. Put glue on the hat. Lay out the shape with buckwheat.
   
4. Cut a strip of green paper and cut a fringe from one edge.
5. Glue the weed at the bottom of the sheet.

By the same principle, you can lay out a picture of watermelon and squash seeds.

Use wrinkled paper

In order for the child to get a beautiful application “Mushrooms”, it is better to take ready-made templates. They need to be printed out and given to children. Even a child aged 3 years old can make a craft using crumpled paper . Work like this:

1. Draw the contours of the mushrooms.
   
   
2. Prepare corrugated paper or napkins in the color range that suits the selected template. If there is no such shade, take the appropriate gouache color.
3. Let the child pluck the paper and roll balls or similar shapes out of it.
4. Dip the blanks in gouache paint of the desired shade and lay on a flat surface to dry.
5. After the parts have dried, proceed with gluing. You can lay out a mushroom leg and a hat in the form of such a mosaic, and the grass must be made from a strip of green paper, on which fringes are cut from one edge with scissors.

Interesting lesson: application "Mushrooms"

To work in an organized group of preschool age, the option with paper is suitable. You can perform a fly agaric, focusing on the fact that although this mushroom is beautiful, but inedible. You can’t take it to the basket. An example lesson plan might be:

• Read a poem for children about autumn, forest, mushrooms.
• Let the children see toy mushrooms in the basket or their images.
• Tell us what you will do today. Read a poem about the fly agaric or guess a riddle. Ask if it is possible to take a fly agaric, whether it is necessary to break, kick, crush.
• Give children pre-prepared parts or paper with stencils for their manufacture (depending on age).
• Cut a red hat, a white leg, a white small rectangle to make a frill, and green for grass.
• Stick a hat and a leg on a paper base.
• On a white rectangle, cut a fringe and tuck it with your fingers, scissors or chopsticks.
• Do the same with the green grass blank.
• Glue the white fringe on the leg, green - down the sheet.

If the children are tired, take a break or divide the work by half. Next, you need to make white spots on the hat. They can be done like this:

1. Just stick the white circles made on the stencil or hole punch.
2. Run balls of cotton wool, napkins, tissue paper.
3. Make using quilling technique.

The third option is the most unusual and interesting. To work with this method, proceed as follows:

• Cut a few (5-6) strips of white paper. Hand them out to the children.
• Explain the technique in which they will perform specks.
• Show how to wind the strips on sticks.
• Let the guys do the blanks themselves, and then glue them to the hat of the previously made mushroom.

Concluding the lesson, it is worth arranging an exhibition of works and again focusing on the fact that if they meet this beautiful mushroom in the forest, you need to bypass it. So, the application “Mushrooms” can be made of various materials. Choose a suitable and interesting option according to the age of the child and the convenience of working at home or in an organized group.
