Applications
Snowman made of paper and napkins Such crafts will be quite possible for a child of three years. So, to make a Christmas card with a picture of a snowman you will need:
- Napkins of white color;
- Colored paper and cardboard;
- PVA glue;
- And, of course, the desire to do something with their own hands.
Take a napkin and tear it into smallpieces. Roll each slice into a ball. This work is quite simple, but laborious, so it can quickly bore the kid. Try not to make the snowman too large, then you will finish the preparatory process faster. Now take the cardboard blue and draw on it the silhouette of our snowman. After that, the entire inner surface of the pattern is sealed with paper napkins. It is important that the balls are pressed very tightly to each other, otherwise the cardboard will be seen between them. It is better to do this procedure in several stages: stick a row - wait for drying, then proceed to the next row. So the balls will lie flat and do not go beyond the contour. When all the blanks are pasted onto the contour, set it aside - let it dry well. In the meantime, from colored paper, cut out the eyes, the nose-carrot and the hat for the snowman. You can add more scarf or mittens, in general, everything that your imagination is capable of. All these details are neatly glued with the help of PVA to their places. Well, the merry snowman is ready. There is only enough snow around, but it's easy to fix. Take small pieces of cotton wool and help the child to glue them around the figure - you will get snowdrifts. You can also draw or paste snowflakes. By the way, this way you can make a bear, a bunny, and Santa Claus. All these handicrafts are perfect for creative pursuits both in kindergarten and at home. And most importantly, they can be performed with the youngest children. Kitten from poplar fluff This original application can be done with children of 5-6 years of age. To make it, you will need a drawing of a kitten (a template), which is applied to the base (colored cardboard) and gently traced by a simple pencil. Poplar fluff is very light, so you will have to work with tweezers. The silhouette of the kitten is smeared with a small amount of glue, the fluff is applied evenly on top. And do not be discouraged if the fluff will beat a little beyond the limit of the contour, on the contrary, so the kitten will look more natural. After finishing work with fluff, draw a cat eye and a nose with a conventional felt pen. Or entrust this work to the kid, let him add the necessary details with his own hands. Crafts from poplar fluff can be different - choose any pattern and create! 
We mold from plasticine
Children knowingly love modeling. It allows young creators to create the world as they see and understand it. Making children's crafts from plasticine with their own hands, the child develops the perception of form and texture, spatial thinking and imagination, learns to synchronize the work of both hands. In order not to upset the child with failures, let's try to make a normal bunny with a carrot. In the process of work, you can tell the kid a fairy tale in which the protagonist is "eared", explain why he changes the "fur coat" in the winter. So work on the handicraft will bring the child even more fun. So, we'll sculpt the hare from white plasticine, we'll make our eyes blue, the nose pink. Carrots need orange and green color.
- From white plasticine we model an elongated body and a round head. Then we connect the parts;
- Now we make four identical brusochka - it will be paws. We connect them with the trunk;
- Do not forget about the tail and ears;
- To the muzzle of the hare we attach eyes made of purple plasticine, and nose - from pink.
And that the bunny had something to treat, we docarrots! You need to give the orange clay an elongated triangular shape, and from the green one - to blind the leaves. To make the green turned out to be embossed, use a toothpick. In and all, we got a beautiful, and most importantly - a full bunny! 
Pictures from croup
Your baby does not like porridge? No problem! Suggest him to make his own handiwork from cereals - he will definitely change his opinion about unloved food. We will "draw" the picture. You will need a PVA glue and a template in the form of a simple drawing, which you will need to "paint over" with the help of various groats. If the child is older than three years old, he can try to draw the template himself, if not, the DOU educator or parents will do it. As an example, take the simplest picture, which depicts a large mushroom. To create a hat you will need buckwheat, and for the leg - millet will do. Since the child does the craft with his own hands, give him glue - let him gently put it on the mushroom head with a brush. When a layer of glue is applied, we take buckwheat groats and rash from above. Repeat the procedure with the glue and millet on the stem of the fungus. Superfluous groats accurately shake off and let the picture dry. This version of the craft is considered the easiest - it is suitable for joint creativity with the kids. With older kids, you can try to create more complex pictures. Such crafts will look great as a decoration for a kitchen, a children's room or a group of kindergartens.
Greeting card
And what if the child is still very young, but already wants to give her a gift made with her own hands? To the aid will come a card in the form of a tulip-palm. For this craft you need:
- Cardboard for the flower (white, A5 format);
- Green cardboard for the stem and leaves;
- Paints (finger or gouache, depending on the age of the artist);
- Scissors and glue.
Here, without your help, the baby can not do, somake immediately the workpiece: cut out the cardboard flower, stem and leaves and paste them to any basis. In a small plate, pour the paint, now ask the child to dip a pen in it and put a print on a white flower. Leave the card to dry. That's all - an original gift to my mother or kindergarten teacher is ready. And most importantly, the kid made it with their own hands!
