The child is so arranged that he learns the world around him with his hands. In this exciting process, application for children becomes a useful and enjoyable activity.
Knowing the world
Speaking about the application as such, it should first be understood that this is, above all, a creative process. And therefore, both their traditional types (cloth, paper, plasticine) and not quite ordinary ones can be suitable as materials. The latter include dry leaves, seeds, cereals, pasta, twigs, pieces of plastic and many other materials. The choice of a particular type of foundation for the application depends on what exactly the child should get to know. So, for example, during a lesson on a winter topic, it is best to use polystyrene, or rather, the small white balls that make it up. The little creator learns the shape of the ball, white color and soft structure.
Application for children is closely connected not only with the material, but also with the age of the child. The “From simple to complex” principle works best in this case. Familiarity with this type of work should begin with paper from which large geometric shapes are cut . But for the smallest creators, simply tearing the paper and sticking it in any order is suitable. Gradually, more complex actions are included, such as cutting out certain forms, adding new colors, combining materials and their types. For example, a circle of smooth cardboard is decorated with stripes of velvet paper.
In addition, it should be remembered that the application for children not only allows you to know the world around the baby, but also develop other aspects of his personality. So, first of all, this is the development of speech. With this work, an adult will surely talk about what a small creator creates.
Another, no less important feature is the development of imagination and aesthetic feelings. The application will allow you to combine colors and shapes, placing them depending on the given plot. Also, adults can provide the child with the opportunity to independently choose the topic of the future crafts and prepare materials.
You can verify the usefulness of this type of developing activity by mastering the two most simple techniques - paper and plasticine.
Magic paper
Paper applications for children are aimed at transferring the surrounding reality onto cardboard. This can best be done with a work called Autumn Apple Wreath.
It will require thick paper of red, yellow, brown, light green and green colors. In addition, you should stock up on a paper plate, scissors, glue, woolen thread, a cinnamon stick and a white sheet of cardboard.
From the last is cut out a pattern of apple, cuttings and leaf. Three blanks are made from red, green and yellow paper according to the template. From lettuce - 9 leaves, from brown - 9 cuttings. The middle is cut out of the plate. On its outer circle, a stick of cinnamon is fixed with a thread, and with the help of glue - already “collected” apples. The wreath is ready.
Magic plasticine
Applications from plasticine for children will help to develop a spatial attitude in them. A striking example of such a creation is the “Butterfly” magnet.
To create it you will need: plasticine of different colors, stamps, PVA glue, magnet. The basis can be a purple layer. It must be rolled up to 2 cm wide and with the help of a stamp cut out the wings of a butterfly from it . A tourniquet rolls from green plasticine with one thickened end, which will later become the head. An even number of balls are formed from the yellow and blue layers, slightly flattened. For the eyes, you can use special blanks or dazzle them from white and black plasticine. Make two antennae from green.
Using glue, one should “plant” a torso in the middle of the wings, evenly attach paired balls, place eyes and antennae on the head. After the product dries, glue the magnet from the wrong side.
Application for children, made by one of the proposed methods, will help not only to talk about the world, but also to have fun with the child.
