Explanatory note

Children's creativity is a specific activity peculiar to the child, and is considered his universal ability. Creative activity satisfies the child’s cognitive activity, develops imagination and ingenuity. In the process of this activity, figurative ideas, imaginative thinking, and imagination develop.

Design as a type of children's creativity contributes to the active formation of technical thinking: thanks to it, the child learns the basics of graphic literacy, learns to use drawings, patterns, and sketches. The child himself makes markings, measurements, and builds diagrams based on independent analysis, which contributes to the development of his spatial and mathematical thinking. Construction introduces the child to the properties of various materials: building elements, paper, cardboard, fabric, natural, waste materials, etc.

When organizing construction and manual labor, the main attention is paid to developing children's powers of observation, curiosity, intelligence, resourcefulness, perseverance, and skill. It is important to develop in children the need for creative activity, hard work, independence, activity, patience, accuracy, and the desire to bring joy to the people around them; fill the child’s mental and creative interests with vivid content.

The program aims teachers to educate every child not as a performer, but as a creator. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account that the creation of buildings, structures, and crafts should not be an end in itself. First of all, it is a means of developing children's abilities (creative, intellectual, artistic). In this regard, the main objectives of the program for this section are the formation of cognitive and research activities in preschoolers, the desire for mental activity; introduction to the world of technical and artistic invention.

The methodology of design and artistic work is built in the context of different types of artistic activity and is actively included in the holistic educational process (in familiarization with the environment, in the development of speech, in the formation of mathematical concepts, etc.). Since, like all types of creative activity, design and manual labor are based on the impressions that children receive in the process of educational work, their content is closely related to the various buildings that children have the opportunity to constantly see. Children first examine and then construct residential buildings, schools, theaters, palaces, etc. from various materials. The older the children, the wider the range of their ideas, which is reflected in designs, buildings, and crafts.

Types and types of design in kindergarten:

There are two types of design: technical and artistic.

In technical design, children mainly display real-life objects, and also come up with crafts based on associations with images from fairy tales and films. At the same time, they model their main structural and functional features: a building with a roof, windows, a door; a ship with a deck, stern, and steering wheel. The technical type of design activity includes: design from building material (wooden painted or unpainted parts of geometric shape); constructing constructors from parts that have different fastening methods; construction from large-sized modular blocks.

In artistic design, children, when creating images, not so much reflect their structure as express their attitude towards them, convey their character, using color, texture, shape: “cheerful clown”, “angry wolf”, “prince charming”. The artistic type of design includes design from paper and design from natural material.

Let's consider the specifics of working
with middle-aged children 4-5 years old.
Draw children's attention to various buildings and structures around the kindergarten. On walks and during games, look at cars, carts, buses and other types of transport with children, highlighting their parts, name the shape of the parts and their location in relation to the largest part. Continue to develop in children the ability to distinguish and name construction parts (cube, plate, brick, block); learn to use them taking into account their structural properties (stability, shape, size). Develop the ability to establish associative connections by asking them to remember what similar structures children have seen. Learn to analyze a building sample: identify the main parts, distinguish and correlate them by size and shape, establish the spatial arrangement of these parts relative to each other (in houses - walls, at the top - ceiling, roof; in a car - cabin, body, etc.) .

Learn to independently measure buildings (in height, length and width), follow the design principle given by the teacher (“Build the same house, but tall”). Learn to build buildings from large and small building materials, use parts of different colors to create and decorate buildings.

Teach paper construction: bend a rectangular sheet of paper in half, matching the sides and corners (album, flags, greeting card), glue parts to the main shape (windows, doors, pipes to a house; wheels to a bus; back to a chair). Involve children in making crafts from natural materials (bark, branches, leaves, cones, chestnuts, nut shells, straw). Learn to use glue and plasticine to secure parts; use reels, boxes of different sizes and other items in crafts.

Features of the design of the corner for constructive activities in our group.

To ensure that design and modeling classes in our corner bring only joy and benefit to students, when organizing it we took into account the following points:

1. Safety - each construction set, both plastic and wooden, is constantly inspected during processing and washing, since the parts may have burrs, chips, etc., formed during use. We remove low-quality parts of the building material.

For independent creativity, we offer children materials that do not pose a danger: cones, walnuts, chestnuts, leaves, maple wings. Children make crafts using small materials (acorns, shells, bean seeds, sunflower seeds, etc.), as well as twigs, sticks, and pine needles under the supervision of a teacher.

We make sure to have conversations with children about the rules for using natural materials, small construction kit parts, scissors, glue, etc. teaching them to manage their behavior and take care of their own health.

2. Accessibility and convenience for children. The corner is located in such a place that children can easily approach it and have the opportunity to take all the material and use it. We follow the rule: we store heavier and larger building materials lower than smaller and lighter ones.

3. We store construction sets in open boxes, in plastic containers, where preschoolers can put them themselves.

4. The corner is filled with materials in accordance with the age of the children and the program requirements for this type of activity.

Taking this into account, we have filled the construction corner with the following gaming materials:

Construction set

- This is a type of cube made of plastic and wood. They are of different sizes, this set includes not only cubes, but also cones, cylinders, arches, bars and other elements. This set is convenient to use for the construction of both individual parts and the whole castle.

Lego-type constructors

- such a set consists of parts of different colors and sizes, which are “put on” each other using special fasteners.

Magnetic constructor

consist of magnetized sticks and balls that “stick” to each other. Designed for children over three years old, as it has small parts. It is very interesting to play with him, developing his imagination.

Soft constructors

– the material they are made of is isolon, it is non-toxic and pleasant to the body.
With their help, you can create both flat and three-dimensional toys.
, etc. Such constructors that already provide some kind of play area. Such kits include not only materials for assembly, but also figurines of people, furniture, and animals.

Block constructors – “Dyonysha Blocks”, “Samodelkin”, “Funny Farm”,

"
Cuisenaire's Colored Counting Sticks" , " Nikitin's Cubes".
These are wonderful and exciting tools for developing children's intellectual abilities. With their help, you can create various tasks for children of different difficulty levels.

Mosaic constructors -

assembly according to a sample or personal sketch is provided. The elements are connected one by one, and the result is an image, similar to a mosaic. The parts are flat with slots for fastenings. The assembled figures turn out to be voluminous.

Inserts, puzzles, lacing, games with clothespins -

contribute to the development of sensorimotor coordination of fingers and sensory concepts in children.

Planar construction sets - “Tangram”, a set of flat geometric shapes made of wood -

are a set of multi-colored geometric shapes (squares, triangles, rectangles). Allows you to develop: the ability to perform logical operations (analysis, synthesis, comparison), an understanding of geometric shapes and colors. Develops observation, creative imagination, fine motor skills of the fingers.

Didactic games:

"Find differences"; "Labyrinth"; "Geometric mosaic"; "Cut pictures"; "Domino"; "Find the Shadow"; "Whose Tail"; ""Happy Logic"; " What is what?"; “Game - training with counting sticks”, etc. Games develop observation, creative imagination, memory, logical thinking, speech activity, fine motor skills of the fingers.

A set of small toys,

including animals, people, transport, dishes. Such figures will enliven the game and make children want to come up with new situations and stories.

Materials for paper construction:

rectangles and squares of different colors, details for decoration. Children can independently make a postcard as a gift to their relatives, decorating it with a bouquet, an ornament of figures, an image of a fairy-tale hero, choosing from the variety of decor they like, albums, colored paper, velvet paper, corrugated paper, foil, wrapping paper, cardboard.

Natural material:

Tree bark, seeds, pine and spruce cones, dried leaves, straw, acorns, shells, sticks, cereals, nut shells.

Waste material:

small (disposable plates and cups, spools, tea and food boxes) and large (shoe boxes, boxes of sweets and cookies).
Children make crafts from small materials, and use large ones to create and play out buildings like a ship, an airplane, or a city for dolls. For a more aesthetic appearance, large boxes are covered with leftover wallpaper and colored paper .
Auxiliary materials

.

Plasticine, glue, wire, decorative elements for crafts, scissors, matches, ruler, pencils.

Visual aids, literature

.

Schemes of buildings from construction sets - “Lego”, “Soft Construction Sets”, block construction sets – “Dyonysh Blocks”, “Self-made”, “Funny Farm”, “Cuisenaire’s Colored Counting Sticks”, “Mosaic Designers”, for a building set.

Album - “Samples of paper crafts using the origami technique.” Album with diagrams for the game "Tangram", a game with counting sticks.

Books with samples on modeling from plasticine, clay, design from natural materials, drawing techniques.

Simple diagrams, drawings of crafts and buildings, images of buildings for various purposes (residential building, theater, kindergarten, clinic).
