Interesting option
What should be the applique in the second junior group on the theme “Spring”? You can make it non-standard, incredibly interesting, unique.
So, an example. We begin to create elements for the composition. Colored threads are used for trees. They are cut in three pieces (beige and brown) about fifteen centimeters long. The edges are aligned and tied into a loose knot. After this, a trunk is made - a pigtail is braided. The threads (tree branches) straighten out.
After this, take velvet brown paper. On the back of the sheet, a child's palm is outlined and cut out. This will be a bush.
The grass is made from crumpled green paper. The dimensions are not very large - about two centimeters wide and five centimeters long. The paper is folded four times. On one side the edges are slightly cut. The paper unfolds - the grass is ready!
Next, the composition itself is created. Trees, grass and bushes are placed on a sheet of paper and glued.
And here’s the main point – flowers! They are made from white, pink, yellow and beige napkins. Each of them is cut into four squares, from which balls are rolled. These will be small flowers.
They are glued around the branches of bushes and trees. It turns out to be a blooming garden!
Where to begin?
The most important thing is to carefully think through every step in such an activity. For example, before an applique is made in the second junior group, it is worth leading the kids to this topic with some introductory words.
For example, you can start with the fact that every person loves his native land. They are beautiful at any time of the year. However, in spring, the lush pink and white colors of fruit trees are especially pleasing to the eye. The blue sky, birds soaring in it, lilacs and tulips, green grass... All this lifts the mood, brings satisfaction and joy to a person.
Gifts for parents
By the way, it is not at all necessary to decorate the group with these crafts. The “Spring” applique in the second junior group can also be a wonderful gift for parents, for example, for a mother on March 8th. You just need to glue the sun, flowers, grass on which bunnies and squirrels bask, and leaves with butterflies and insects grow on the trees.
Parents always appreciate gifts from their children. Moreover, they are made by yourself! Therefore, do not forget about the spring holidays! Adults should see what their little ones have been taught and how hard they try!
Volume craft: spring bouquet
Step 1. Cover the tape sleeve with light green paper.
Step 2. Cut out stems and leaves of primroses from dark green paper, and flowers from white and yellow paper.
Step 3. All elements are glued to the sleeve. Decorate with braid or narrow ribbon.
You can add fluttering moths, bees, bumblebees, etc. If you put a small heavy object inside, the decorated sleeve will become a good pencil holder.
This craft is a great gift idea for any occasion.
Spring landscapes for elementary school students
To create an applique landscape, first make a sketch of the future painting on a blank sheet of paper, or select a ready-made template, which is first printed on a printer. Gradually fill the drawing with prepared materials: glue cotton wool, twigs, cereals, etc. Something that will help convey the effect of the riot of spring nature.
Looking at such works, you can’t help but feel the scent of snowdrops. You can hear the ringing of spring drops, the cry of a crane wedge.
Postcards with the first spring flowers
There is always room for imagination when designing postcards. Suitable for decoration: lace, openwork paper napkins, confetti, ready-made scrapbooking elements, etc. You just need to select the cardboard of the desired size and color, bend it in half and decorate the front part as you wish.
Postcards made from quilling elements turn out incredibly beautiful. Each piece is neatly rolled from a narrow strip of double-sided colored paper and has its own name. It comes in both tight and loose forms. Later, elements of different types are glued to the card, forming a design.

For children, spring applications made from colored paper and other materials are an opportunity to express their vision of nature. Adults should respect their views and encourage creativity.
To teach your child about the seasons of the year, you will probably need instructions and guides for creating crafts in the form of “seasons”.
