Applique "Vegetables" for kids
Before you start the class, interest your baby in a game form of work. You can use poems, riddles, songs, stories. The child should be interested, then he will be happy with the results.
Sharp objects can not be used with young children, so the scissors are not useful. When creating an applique, you can use two techniques for making crafts:
- use ready-made templates, which parents or educators will cut out for children themselves
- use the technique of tearing paper or crumpled paper, to create a three-dimensional craft.
The main thing when creating a craft with young children is to teach them how to correctly place objects on the sheet, to introduce children to the colors and shapes of vegetables.
Children should know that vegetables grow on the ground. Tell them about their color and size: round red tomato, oval green cucumber, yellow round onion, orange triangular carrot, etc.
Tomatoes and cucumbers grow on a bed, onions, beets, and carrots grow in the middle of the bed, and potatoes are in the ground. At the end of the lesson, be sure to praise the children for their work.
You can make a stand of handicrafts of the children of the younger group, so that children and parents can see their creativity.
Collage "Vegetables in a jar" for the middle group
For children of the fourth year of life introduce scissors into the work. Before starting, it is necessary to talk about safety when working with sharp objects. Show the children how to hold the scissors correctly in their hands and how to use them.
It will make the outcome of a correct, safe and accurate work. The class will avoid injuries. Provide a comfortable place for them to work: cover the table with oilcloth, remove unnecessary items from the table, and prepare enough paper.
It will be interesting to make a collage "Vegetables in a jar" with children. Different materials can be used for this:
- A jar or any other transparent utensil,
- a jar shape cut out of cardboard.
During the work, you need to decide what you and your child want to make. Children often see canned vegetables at home: tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, carrots, cabbage, etc. They master the shape of the object, color and size.
To facilitate the work kids are given blanks of future vegetables in the form of a square, rectangle, triangle. You can make three-dimensional application of vegetables. For example, the carved orange triangle - the basis of the carrot glue stripes of orange, wrinkled hands and a little smoothed.
Stripes will give a voluminous application of vegetables interesting look. Top of the work is decorated with a fringe of green paper. To do this, cut a trapeze out of paper and make incisions from top to bottom, a little not cutting to the end of the detail. It turns out the tops of carrots.
Connecting both parts of the carrots is obtained volumetric applique vegetables. Add a tomato to the composition by attaching a green twig to the red circle; a cucumber by drawing spikes on it.
Cabbage can be made by gluing a few green circles by the bottom edge on the base-gooseneck and drawing veins on the leaves with a pencil. Other vegetables can be made in similar ways to work with.
To complete the work, children place their applications in a glass jar or glue them on a cardboard imitation of a jar. You can make a "Vegetables in a Pot" craft, while making it more difficult for the children. For example, advise to make and place in a pot vegetables for borscht, vinaigrette or salad.
Such a task will contribute to the all-round development of the child. With children of the middle group, you can make a vegetable bed, properly placing the vegetables. This can be both individual and group activities for children.
Collage "Vegetables" in the older group
By cutting out vegetable blanks for their crafts in the older group, the child masters the technique of cutting out paper folded in two. The objects cut out this way turn out symmetrical and neat in the applique.
For work in the older group, mosaic or scrap paper techniques can be used. The child draws with a pencil the vegetable he or she wants to make and glues squares of torn off colored paper to his or her drawing. You can cut out parts for a mosaic.
Such work will be more accurate. An interesting and original handicraft will inspire children for further applications. You can make a large collective application "Vegetables on a plate". Each member of the group makes his or her own vegetable, and all together the children form a plate of vegetables.
For the plate, a template of round or oblong shape is taken. You can also place volumetric applications of vegetables on it, cutting out three pieces of the object for this purpose. All parts should be glued together to form a triangular shape. Then the vegetables are placed on a plate.
You can place the crafts in a basket, because the child sees how the vegetables and fruits are stored. The box can be made from strips of paper or cardboard, the appropriate color.

The basket is made separately, weave strips of material between each other and then glue them to cardboard, if it is half of the basket. You can weave the basket completely and fill it with any vegetables made in different techniques and from different materials.
When creating large applications, you can organize work in pairs. The children take turns cutting out and gluing the vegetables on the base. Such work strengthens the team and fosters a sense of responsibility.
