Application wild and domestic animals in the preparatory group - lesson notes, hedgehog in the forest, fox, polar bear and other animals + photo and video

Features of appliqué classes in the preparatory group of kindergarten

By the age of 6–7 years, the child handles scissors well and easily cuts out simple shapes along the contour. He can connect dotted lines or dots with a continuous line, and draw simple elements for use in appliqué. In accordance with the skills of pupils of this age, the program requirements become more complex. The teacher needs to direct the children’s imagination to create plot applications. The child should accompany the process of gluing the prepared parts with verbal comments. The game moment turns on: we not only learn how to create a craft, but at the same time we compose a story.

Kinds

Pupils of the preparatory group must master the following appliqué techniques:

Creation according to the model. The child can trace the templates suggested by the teacher, cut them out and create a picture similar to what they saw. Students are offered several samples on a given topic and are given the opportunity to combine creation techniques and compositional elements.
Silhouette applique. It involves the same actions as in the previous paragraph, but the template is more complicated, the work turns out to be more labor-intensive and painstaking. For ages 6–7 years, this type of application is interesting when there is a plot-role factor in the creative process.
Creating a symmetrical figure or a series of symmetrical figures. These are the actions of folding a sheet of paper and cutting out half of the image. For older preschoolers, tasks in this technique should be as complex as possible: the outline for cutting should have nuances, punctures or slits must be made inside the image.
Broken applique. Used when working in mixed media. For example, in the form of a broken appliqué, an imitation of bird feathers or the fur of fur-bearing animals is created.
Overlay applique. Also used in mixed media: to depict fish scales, snake skin, bird plumage.
Modular application. This is work with elements of the same shape, but of various sizes and colors. The parts can be bent and one of the halves can be glued to the base (then the second half will go beyond the plane, creating a three-dimensional image). Module parts can be placed on top of each other during the gluing process.
Collage. Not just an image of an object is created; in the process of creativity, the child comes close to the world of art. Collage involves working with various materials, shapes and has a carefully thought-out composition, color scheme and often a plot component.

Creating a direct applique based on a sample using various materials Modular applique: circle-shaped elements were used to create the image

Silhouette applique combining elements of simple design and plot design

The application is based on symmetrical cutting of image objects. The task in the preparatory group involves cutting out complex pictures with small details and slits

Collage applique involves the use of a variety of materials (buttons, lace, natural material, beads, pieces of fabric)

Multi-layer applique: parts are glued on top of each other in such a way that a three-dimensional image is obtained

Materials used

There are no restrictions on the materials used to create applications. Fine motor skills at this age are so developed that pupils skillfully handle even bulk materials made from small particles (semolina, sawdust, colored sand).

Sawdust was used to imitate dog skin

Unusual materials should be used more and more often so that children do not lose interest in this type of creativity. The process becomes especially interesting when household materials act as applique details - so familiar in everyday life, but unexpected as a component of an object of art. This is what is most often considered garbage: wrappers, candy wrappers, foil, metal or plastic lids, etc. As well as food materials: cereals, pasta of various shapes, coffee beans, dried barberries, cloves, cinnamon sticks, even popcorn, crackers, dryers.

Paper creation

What about paperwork? Of course, in the preparatory group it is also possible to create paper applications. But the teacher should definitely remember that the children spent several years honing their skills in working with scissors and glue, creating pictures and their first stories with this material. However, paper material is not only cardboard and a set of colored paper! Pupils aged 6–7 years willingly continue working with well-known material. When preparing a lesson on creating a paper application, the teacher should follow several recommendations:

Paper materials are varied. To create, we can use newspaper and magazine paper, wallpaper paper, wrapping and packaging paper, plain and themed napkins, tracing paper, graph paper, parchment, postcards, various cards, used tickets, etc.
The use of other papermaking techniques when creating parts for appliqué. Let's talk about them in more detail.

Weaving is one of the oldest forms of creativity. Pupils can weave a simple braid from paper strips and connect strips of different colors together. They are also woven from paper tubes, in which case the process requires more time (the tubes must be prepared in advance). There should be several separate lessons on weaving. Having mastered the technique of simple (satin weaving), students will be able to create elements for use in appliqué.

Origami is a Japanese art form, a technique of folding paper figures. Understanding the basics of origami in childhood perfectly develops fine motor skills and prepares the hand for writing. The child gets acquainted with the principles of geometry, uses the terms “point”, “line”, “angle”, “right angle”, etc. However, mastering the work in the origami technique requires thorough immersion, this must be taken into account when drawing up calendar and thematic planning for the year: To create origami figures, you need to highlight several activities. After the students have worked out how to make animal figures in origami classes, they can conduct a lesson on creating collective works using appliqué.

Quilling is the process of twisting paper strips using a special tool or a simple pencil. Round or oval elements are created from spirals, from which an image is created by gluing the parts onto the base. You can cut paper strips for quilling yourself, or you can purchase ready-made sets of various colors and widths. It is recommended to conduct 1-2 separate lessons on quilling, the result of which can be small appliqué postcards. The lesson on creating a collective applique assumes that each student will be assigned an agreed number of parts from paper spirals to create, then together the children will glue the twisted elements onto the base.

Paper art is a technique for creating elements from paper napkins by soaking and then rolling. Roll between palms. From napkin strips you can make flagella, from which you can roll up various shapes (leaves, circles, spirals, etc.), and from squares you can make balls. This technique involves gluing elements from napkins onto a surface for further decoration (boxes, wooden frames, vases, etc.). Applications with such flagella and balls should be made on a base made of thick cardboard. Parts must be painted; the paper base may become deformed.

Leaves applique: autumn

It is not necessary to use only whole leaves for appliqués. There is a separate direction in creativity - broken applique. You can use not only leaves, but also colored paper. Its principle is that the silhouette of the figure is created from torn material.

To make the application, we will need:

Sheet of cardboard
Leaves
Glue
Dye

Dried leaves must be crumbled.

Draw a tree trunk and branches on cardboard.

Once the paint is dry, apply glue to the trunk and branches where you want the leaves to be.

Sprinkle pieces of leaves onto the glue.

Press down the leaves a little to secure.

Shake off excess leaves from the appliqué.

The same tree can be made using colored paper.

It is not so easy to cope with such an application. The main thing here is to choose the right leaves

Application “Domestic and wild animals”

Pupils were introduced to the topic “Domestic and wild animals” during classes on the surrounding world in the junior and middle groups. They know the classification of animals, to what extent certain ones depend on environmental conditions, and how they adapt to existence. They know the habitats of wild animals, some behavioral features, which animals are herbivores and which are predators. They can tell no less about domestic animals: those who live on a farm, and about pets in city apartments. Repetition and consolidation are most successful when calendar and thematic planning for the year is compiled in such a way that a return to the topic of animals occurs first in a lesson on cognitive and speech development. Pupils, together with the teacher, systematize previously acquired knowledge, develop oral speech skills, and develop an attitude towards an attentive attitude towards the surrounding world, including animals, towards a healthy lifestyle with the maximum harmony with nature in the modern world. And later, in planning, a creative activity is organized on the same topic: drawing, modeling, creating panels or appliqués.

If an individual form of work is chosen, then students can be asked to make several animals on one basis or complete several crafts per lesson if a simple appliqué technique is used. It is preferable for children of this age to use a group form. The teacher divides the children into groups of several people, and then the students independently distribute the actions necessary to create the application.

Preparing a teacher for a lesson

To make the lesson interesting and useful, you need to think in advance about the manner in which it will be held and what goals and objectives are desired to be achieved. First of all, it is necessary to select motivating material to lead the children to the topic and further immersion in the creative process. Options for the initial stage of the lesson :

Conversation with students, answers to questions, stories from personal experience. Speech skills and thought processes develop, and memory is trained.
Fairy tale. Perhaps the teacher will ask the students to remember tales about wild animals and try to retell one or two in a concise manner. To develop listening skills, the teacher tells a short story about animals. An example of a fairy tale about pets: “In the Village”: Once upon a time there were two friends Petya and Roma. Petya lived in the city, and Roma lived in the village. And Petya decided to go and visit Roma in the village. When Petya arrived, Roma decided to show him the farm. They went to a clearing and saw a cow there. -Who is this? - Petya was surprised. -This is a cow. It produces tasty and healthy milk. And from milk they make sour cream, cottage cheese and even delicious ice cream. And the cow also has very tasty meat. The boys went further and saw a horse. “Who is this?” Petya asks again. -This is a horse. It helps transport heavy loads and produces delicious milk called kumiss. After walking a little, the boys saw sheep nibbling the grass. “And these are sheep,” explained Roma. “They have very warm wool, from which they knit mittens and socks.” The boys came into the yard and saw the chickens. “What kind of birds are these?” asks Petya. - These are chickens. They lay eggs. And chicken soup is the most delicious and healthy soup in the world. Petya looked around and saw a dog. -And I know this. This is a dog. She guards the house. “That’s right,” said Roma. And the boys went home. Roma's mother fed Petya delicious chicken soup and gave him warm milk. Petya really liked it in the village.

Reading poems about animals. It is recommended to use musical accompaniment to complete the task of developing aesthetic taste and a sense of beauty (playing audio recordings in the background or using a projector to view a presentation with audio accompaniment).
Use of visual material. Posters “On the farm”, “In the forest”, “At the zoo”, books about animals with illustrations, viewing slides or cards.
