If you think that applying for an application is a boring and monotonous activity, we dare to dispel your delusion. Employment is one of the favorite activities of children of any age. The simplest applications bring them great pleasure. Even those children who do not want to draw, are happy to place on the sheet of paper individual elements of the composition, collecting the figures of their favorite fairy-tale characters and toys. Doing applications with children, you can contribute to the development of those skills that will help the child in the future to choose the right composition of the picture, to find a successful color solution.
Preparing for the application with children
Applications can be made not only from paper, but also from fabric, plasticine, napkins, straws, leaves. Almost any material is suitable.
The smaller the child, the more you will have to do on your own. The kid can not figure out what to do and how. Therefore, you have to invent a plot, cut out pieces of fabric or paper, but you can spread the glue and place them on the sheet and the child himself. Even if it turns out to be crooked, keep it and let the child do it all by himself. Only in this way will he be able to feel responsibility for his work.
Warm up for pens
In order to do an application with children of a very young age, it will be useful to stretch your fingers beforehand. Here are a few verses for conducting physical education with the kids.
The bear walked through the forest (imitating walking with the index and middle finger)
Yes, picking mushrooms . (we clamp all fingers into a fist, imitating a basket)
I treated my mother and father. - (unclench the fists, hands turn the palms up)
"Well, thank you, clumsy." (nod your head)
Steel legs on the track (put the index and middle finger on the table, the rest - in a fist)
ran the legs quickly . (simulate running)
Liked the legs
Smooth tracks. (we shake hands)
Lesson options
When playing, do not forget to talk with the child, beating all your actions. For example: "Look, poor hedgehog, crying:" I do not have a spout. " Vanya, pity the hedgehog, make him a spout. " So you will not only interest the child, but also contribute to the development of his own speech. It is in such situations that the new vocabulary is best learned.
Let's consider some variants of creative games.
- "Plasticine salute." For this, pre-prepare plasticine balls of different colors (diameter not more than a centimeter) and ask the child to "smear" them on the picture (first you need to press the plasticine prepared ball with your thumb, spread it, and then smudge it with your thumb in different directions).
- Variant of application from paper "Balls for a rabbit, balls for a bear". For this application an adult needs to prepare balls of colored paper of two sizes - large and small, as well as drawings with a picture of bears and a hare. Ask the baby to determine which balls should be given to the big bear and the little rabbit. Kids adore the exercises for classification, so this game will help to captivate the creativity of the most obstinate mathematician, who does not like drawing.
And here is the result
And now, your masterpiece is ready. Do not forget to praise the baby, note that it was the child that turned out best. It's better not to point to bad moments at once, but after some time, and in no case in the presence of others. Otherwise, it can discourage the hunt further.
Solemnly attach the result of your work to a prominent place (for example, above the child's table, on the wardrobe in the nursery), on the one hand, so you show the kid how important to you his work, on the other hand, this will cause the young artist next time even more responsible treat their work.
