The materials for such a traffic light will be the simplest, depending on what you plan to make the traffic light from. It could be simple paper, yellow, red and green leaves of trees from the park, pieces of colored fabrics. Tools can also be thread and a needle, glue, cardboard, leather, etc.
We will be making paper appliqué for children in junior kindergarten groups, therefore, we will need the following items:
- a piece of cardboard;
- colored paper - green, yellow, red and black;
- glue.
For kids, it’s better to prepare in advance a template for the shape of the traffic light itself and the circles for its lights, so that it won’t be difficult for the children in the process of making the craft and the result will be exactly the option we had in mind.
The technique for performing such a craft is as simple as it sounds. You can simply stick the colored circles in the desired sequence onto the prepared cardboard. You can complicate the task slightly and cover a cardboard rectangle with black paper and attach circles on top of it to make the craft more realistic.

Unique crafts
Children of primary school and senior preschool age are already able to show their imagination and manual dexterity and create individual, unique crafts. In this case, you can use the following traffic light design techniques:
- quilling or twisting. This type of technique involves rolling up colorful strips of paper, in this case creating an original look for traffic signals. For many, this will seem difficult at first, but with the care and experience of a teacher or educator, any child can handle this technique.

- trimming. Twisting also takes place here, but the work is more painstaking. Thin strips of colored paper are wound onto a pen shaft and then glued onto the template. You will need as many rolled paper strips as possible so that when gluing there are no gaps between them.
