Age characteristics of children
A child of preschool and primary school age has different developmental characteristics. The variety of application techniques allows you to implement them, regardless of category. For example, putting together a composition from ready-made elements will interest children; the appliqué “Birds of Migratory” in the senior group of a preschool institution is more complex in nature (children are asked to independently cut out parts of the composition and put them together in the required sequence); a child 5-8 years old can independently design a craft.
In this work, you can use many techniques that will allow you to fully unleash your child’s creative potential. In this case, not only elements made of paper and cardboard are used, but also various natural materials, such as feathers or down.
Summary of educational activities for the application senior preschool age “Birds of Migratory”.
Next we move on to the main part of our work. We are carving birds.
Look: I take a white rectangular sheet and fold it in half. Next, I apply the bird stencil to the fold, carefully trace it with a pencil and cut it out. I need to cut out six of these birds, because our birds fly in a wedge. I take a stencil of the sun, apply it to a sheet of paper, trace it and cut it out. I cut out clouds in the same way. Next, I place everything on a sheet of tinted paper and glue it.
But before we begin, let's prepare our hands for further work.
Finger gymnastics:
"Ten birds flock"
.
Sing it, sing it, sing along:
Ten birds are a flock. (Clap our hands)
This bird is a nightingale,
(We bend the fingers on the right hand one by one, starting with the little finger)
This bird is a sparrow.
This bird is an owl, a sleepy little head.
This bird is a waxwing,
This bird is a crake,
This bird is a little gray feather.
(We bend the fingers on the left hand one by one, starting with the little finger)
This one is a finch.
This one is a swift.
This one is a cheerful little siskin.
Well, this one is an evil eagle.
(Raise both hands up, fingers in the form of claws)
Birds, birds - go home!
(We wave our arms like wings, join our hands above our heads - the roof)
.
Repeat with children the rules of working with scissors
The scissors should be closed on the table.
They should be passed in rings forward, holding them by the closed blades.
When cutting paper in a straight line, the scissors are not spread wide and the ends are not brought together.
When making cuts, you must use the tips of scissors.
When cutting the sheet with scissors, do not tear it too far from the table.
When working with scissors, turn the paper or other material, but not the tool.
Small parts are not cut out from a large sheet of paper - this is inconvenient. It is better to cut a piece of the required format.
A cut in the shape of an acute angle is made in two steps.
If you make a cut along the fold line, then first unroll the paper.
Round parts are cut counterclockwise.
Now we can get to work.
Educator: take rectangles of white paper, fold it in half. Take the bird stencils, place them correctly on the fold of the rectangle and trace with a pencil. Then carefully cut it out. Let's open it up and see what happens. We make 5 birds. Next, take a small square of white paper and a circle stencil, apply it to the paper, trace it and cut it out. This is our sun. We take the cloud stencil, apply it to the paper, trace it and cut it out. We place our parts on a sheet of colored paper. Let's create a composition. Carefully glue the elements. Add the beak to the birds (with a red felt-tip pen)
and eyes
(with a black felt-tip pen)

Three-dimensional applique made of colored paper Bird - Autumn for children 6-7 years old
Application made of colored paper on the theme of Autumn for kindergarten. Preparatory group
Volumetric applique made of colored paper “Bird-Autumn” for children of senior preschool age.
Master class with step-by-step photos. Author of the work : Mlada Vebertovna Karakozova, teacher of the MADOU “Kindergarten No. 14 of a general developmental type”, Syktyvkar, Komi Republic
.
Purpose : the master class is intended for children 6-7 years old, their parents, and preschool teachers. The application is intended as a guide for writing short stories, fairy tales about a subject, a gift for friends, parents. The application can be both collective and individual. Goal : teach how to make a three-dimensional applique from paper. Objectives : - develop the ability to create a subject image; - develop the ability to depict a bird according to your own design; - consolidate the technique of cutting out several objects from paper folded like an accordion; - fix the names of the colors; - strengthen the skills of neat cutting and pasting; - develop a sense of color and composition; — develop interest in the application; - encourage creativity. Preliminary work : - reading P. Ershov “The Little Humpbacked Horse”; - viewing illustrations of the Firebird (examining the length of the tail and wings, the crest on the head); - twisting the cut fringe of paper with open scissors.
Teacher : - The most beautiful time of the year has begun - autumn! It's a shame it won't last long. I wonder how the leaves on trees turn from green to colorful? ( children's answers
).
Let's fantasize a little: maybe an Autumn Bird is flying over the forests? It flies over the trees, flaps its multi-colored wings, and instantly the forest changes its color, becomes so beautiful that you can’t take your eyes off... What color do you think, children, could the Autumn Bird’s feathers be? ( red, yellow, orange
).
And if she has such wings, what kind of bird do you think the Autumn Bird is like from which fairy tale? ( on the Firebird from the fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse”)
.
Teacher : - Let's try to use colored paper to depict what the Autumn Bird will look like. For work we will need materials : - colored double-sided paper (one sheet each: red, orange, yellow); - colored cardboard (a blue sheet and a small piece of black - for the bird’s beak); - a piece of wallpaper 26x33 cm (for the frame); - stencils: body with head, wings; - simple scissors; - curly scissors; - glue stick; - a simple pencil; — sequins (in the shape of flowers) in yellow and red; - a small piece of black plasticine.
Progress:
1. Make a frame: cut a sheet of blue cardboard along the edge with curly scissors and glue it in the middle of a piece of wallpaper. The frame is ready. Advice: put the frame under a press for a day (thick books are suitable) so that the frame straightens, since under the influence of glue, it may begin to curl a little inward.
2. Trace the template of the body and head on yellow paper. Cut it out. Glue it to the top right corner of the blue cardstock.
3. Fold the red sheet of paper into an accordion shape.
4. Trace the stencil of the leaf. Cut it out. It turned out to be a lot of red leaves.
5. We make oblique cuts on the sides of the leaf, slightly short of the middle.
6. With open scissors, make “curling” movements in one direction along the cuts of the leaf. The leaf will curl slightly inward (if the child is still not good at such movements, you can simply bend the cuts inward with your fingers). Here's what happens:
7. “Curl” all the red leaves.
8. Then we’ll cut out and “curl” all the yellow and orange leaves. In total you will get 3 types of feathers.
9. We begin to make the tail. The first feather is orange, glue it by the edge to the back of the body, as in the photo:
10. Next, next to the orange feather - red, then orange again. We use this color combination of feathers to highlight the yellow color of the bird’s body.
11. Next row of feathers: add feathers, alternating in color. We glue each next feather in the next row, slightly lifting the previous feather.
12. Thus, we make 7 more rows.
13. Now we begin to reduce the number of feathers in the row, bringing it to one in the last row. Finish the tail by gluing an orange feather. Here's what happens:
14. Let's make wings. On the sides of the body (on both sides) we glue the feathers in this order: orange - red - orange.
15. There will be 4 rows in the wing: 2nd row – 3 feathers, 3rd row – 2 feathers, 4th row – 1 feather. We glue the feathers, following the technique of gluing the feathers as on the tail. We finish the wings with an orange feather. Here's what happens:
16. Let's make a crest for the Autumn Bird - glue the crest (orange feather) up onto the head. Cut out a piece of black cardboard and glue a small triangular-shaped beak to the side of the head. From a piece of black plasticine we will make a small round eye. Here's what happens:
17. Decorate the Bird with yellow and red sequins, gluing them on top of the feathers, body, crest, and the last feather in the tail in this order:
The Autumn Bird is ready! View of the applique from different sides: This is what a beautiful “autumn” tail our Autumn Bird got! It is pleasant to stroke it by running your hand from the beginning to the end of the tail.
Application options : 1) Use fewer colors of paper for feathers;
make a tail with fewer rows. 2) You can glue a real feather in place of the tuft. 3) The bird can fly in the other direction. 4) Instead of sequins, you can use other decorations; you can decorate the feathers with yellow, orange, and red gel pens. Thank you for your attention!

Leaf craft
Making a firebird from leaves is not at all difficult, just take:
- Dry leaves;
- Glue;
- Paints;
- Glue gun;
- Cardboard for the base.
The first step is to prepare the cardboard for the base. You can paint it the color you want or choose a pre-colored one.
Next, prepare the leaves for the tail. To do this, select leaves that are suitable in color and shape, carefully place them on paper, paint each leaf with paint, and leave them until completely dry.
When the paint on the leaves has dried, glue them to the base. Apply a thick layer of hot glue to the cardboard, and also put dots on each leaf so that it sticks well. We lay the leaves on the cardboard as intended and press well. You can use a napkin to remove excess glue.
It's important to remember that hot glue hardens very quickly, so if there are visible marks left, you can paint them with the same paint as the leaves to help the colors blend together.
The next step is to create the body of the bird. For it you will need a dry leaf, different in color from the ones we chose for the tail. We glue it on top of the tail, and also press it tightly with a napkin so that the body sticks well to the leaves.
