One of the youngest public holidays is Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12. On this holiday, mass celebrations, concert programs, fairs and exhibitions of children's creativity are organized throughout the country.
Would you like to participate in one of these holiday exhibitions? Then you can’t do without a great idea for a themed craft for Russia Day.
In this article, we have prepared for you several interesting crafts for Russia Day that you can make with your own hands. You will also find on our page several interesting video master classes on the same topic.
So, let's begin!
Application by tearing paper
To make a Christmas tree, cut out the required number of triangles (depending on how tall you need the Christmas tree). We needed 55 pieces.
Educational: Strengthen the ability to navigate on a sheet of paper; Use scissors and appliqué equipment correctly. Activate children's vocabulary (reindeer, polar bear, walrus, penguin). Summarize children's knowledge about animals and birds of the north.
That's right, the coat of arms of Russia symbolizes justice, the victory of good over evil. Listen to a poem about the coat of arms that tells where you can see it. Educator: On the tables are the blanks that you prepared yourself, choose a job to your liking and let’s get down to business. We will do the work by trimming. Why is this method called trimming?
Demonstration material – Pictures of animals, samples of illustrations of a penguin, deer, equipment for display. Presentation.
Handout – a sheet of blue paper; black and white rectangles; black squares; scraps of paper to complement the work (wings, paws, beak); the floor of the album sheet is white, the album sheet is brown: equipment for appliqué.
Integration of educational areas: speech development, artistic and aesthetic development, social and communicative, cognitive development, physical development.
We select paper. Six letters, 3 colors, which means you need rectangles of white, blue and red 5x9 cm.
Small Russian coins, kopecks, depict a horseman killing a dragon with a spear. Where do you think the name of these coins came from?
Educator: how multifaceted and beautiful Russia is. Poets compose poems, composers compose music, artists paint pictures. We form a Christmas tree from the resulting leaves, starting to glue from the top and gradually, row by row, expanding the Christmas tree to the bottom.
DIY postcard for Russia Day
Crafts for Russia Day have not yet become a common occurrence in our country, but children are happy to join in the process of making them on the initiative of adults. At the same time, they develop a sense of patriotism and devotion to their homeland.
A good option for crafts on the theme “My Motherland is Russia” can be an interesting postcard made from an ordinary white paper sheet.
DIY postcard for Russia Day
It is quite possible for children to make such a postcard for Russia Day with their own hands within the walls of a school or kindergarten. To work you will need to prepare in advance:
Craft materials
We fold a white paper sheet in half and give it the required dimensions.
We open the sheet and cover the entire interior space with blue watercolor. Apply the paint in a fairly thick layer.
Using a piece of cotton wool, carefully blotting the paint with it, we apply silhouettes of clouds, thereby making the background heterogeneous.
Removing the paint
Clouds
We cut out stripes of the Russian flag from colored cardboard.
Glue the stripes of the flag together.
Gluing the tricolor
On one side of the future postcard we draw a heart.
Let's cut it out. We put the flag inside so that it can be seen through the slot.
Fix the flag with glue. In the free space around it, we draw air clouds with the same glue, squeezing it straight out of the tube.
Drawing clouds with glue
Sprinkle them with semolina.
Shake off the semolina when the glue sets. The clouds have gained volume.
Fold the red paper strip into an accordion. Cut out the flower petals - in the form of droplets.
Decorate the front side of the card with flowers.
Cover the flower cores with glue and sprinkle with semolina.
Apply glue and sprinkle with semolina
Shake off the semolina - the cores have turned white.

Collective work “Russia is my Motherland!” Master Class
Let's remember the words from the song:
“For me, Russia is white birches ,
For me , Russia is morning dew .
For me, Russia , you are the most precious thing,
How much you look like my mother.”
In preparation for the upcoming holiday, the guys and I decided to do the following work :
For a Russian person there is no tree dearer and dearer than the birch. Ask anyone, is there a tree in Russia to which poets would devote so many poems, and people - songs? Perhaps this is because the white birch tree evokes in us feelings consonant with the generous and responsive Russian soul!
The sun warmed the slopes a little and it became warmer in the forest,
The birch tree hung its green braids from its thin branches.
All dressed in a white dress, earrings, lace foliage
She meets the hot summer at the edge of the forest.
We talked a lot about this with the children, so we decided to depict in our work a hot, gentle sun, a stunningly slender birch tree and many, many bright fragrant flowers. We started our work , of course, by creating a background. For the main background we used beige corrugated paper, and for the future flowering meadow we used green:
First we decided to make flowers. The children chose the technique themselves, the general decision was made like this: from corrugated paper, cut into small rectangles (the corners are cut off, the parts are twisted in the middle, two petals are obtained at once, a flower is formed from 3 of them):
Already during the work , the idea came to make a flower meadow in the form of a tricolor. The middle was made of yellow paper.
And then beautiful birch trees appeared in our picture: we made the crowns from green corrugated cardboard, and the trunks from white paper tubes.
Crafts for Russia Day
We offer a selection of interesting crafts and cards for Russia Day for children. These ideas will be useful for participating in competitions by June 12 in school and preschool camps. And also for parents who want to involve their children in an important holiday. All crafts are quite simple. Your child will be able to make them with their own hands using the proposed master classes.
Garland
A simple garland in the form of a flag is made according to the principle of New Year's decorations. The difference is that they overlap each other in a tricolor pattern.
We will need:
Take whatman paper or A4 cardboard (depending on the desired size of the craft). Draw it into 3 stripes to prepare the basis for the flag for Russia Day. Next, take three colors of corrugated paper. Each will need to be cut into strips approximately 1 cm wide.
Start gluing the first layer. To do this, each strip must be coated in the central part and attached to the cardboard. Or you can make it simpler and pour glue directly onto the base, smearing it with a brush. You just need to act quickly.
On colored paper of any color, write “Happy Russia Day!” These letters need to be glued to the top of the craft.
Children will definitely enjoy making such a “fluffy” flag, because cutting and gluing stripes is a fun activity.
Flag made from cereals
A very interesting craft for Russia Day is a flag made from rice, split peas or any other cereal. Even the little ones can make it with their own hands.
Previously, we already told you how to paint cereals correctly so that they do not get wet from the paint and acquire bright colors. We recommend watching this master class to make it easier for you.
For this craft for June 12, use thick cardboard as a base (you can use a shoe box lid). Draw the Russian flag in the center.
Next, fill the strips with glue or plasticine, and attach cereal on top. It is best to take long grain rice or half peas. Move from top to bottom.
Preparatory group. “Autumn”: what else can be done on this topic?
You can make voluminous applications. Appliqués on velvet paper also look beautiful. With older groups you can try origami. And the younger ones need to first learn how to work with colors and shapes using mosaics.
Educators: Foster a desire to work with paper; the ability to evaluate one’s own work and the work of one’s colleagues. To foster independence, activity, neatness, and aesthetic feelings.
Pupils are already harmoniously placing figures on paper, selecting the proportions of objects according to the format of the base. Children are able to create compositions not only on the usual A4 sheet of paper, but also on other forms (a strip of paper, round and square bases).
Let's go on a magical journey to the North Pole. To do this, you and I need to create wind and cold (articulation gymnastics, we’ll make our lips into a tube and blow the wind, but our cheeks should not puff up). Guys, look here we are in the North. (Presentation). What beauty surrounds us, blue ocean, icebergs, and snowy shores.
On the topic: methodological developments, presentations and notes
Educator: - Let's play a game: “Who lives in which country?” (goal: to consolidate the names of countries, the population of these countries, to form an understanding that there are many different countries in the world), and let’s remember the inhabitants of different countries.
The program for the preparatory group in kindergarten provides for a plot application, during which children learn to think through plots and details of the future composition, and also consistently stick them on the base.
During applique, children learn the basic processes of creating an applique, namely cutting out parts and gluing them onto paper or another base. In addition, children get acquainted with various materials that are used for appliqué, learn to place appliqué fragments on paper in a certain sequence and stick them according to the chosen plot.
For the youngest group, napkins of different colors are suitable. You need to tear the napkin into strips and crumple them - even the smallest ones can do this. Then the multi-colored lumps are glued with a glue stick onto a silhouette prepared in advance, applied by the teacher or printed on a printer.
