Features of conducting appliqué classes in the middle group
Children in the middle group quickly gain more cognitive experience, and their imaginative ideas are enriched in the process of play. This naturally leads to the development of visual skills. At the age of four or five years, children already know how to properly hold scissors in their hands and cut a piece of paper in a straight line. Children are able to cut out round and oval shapes from a square and a rectangle, respectively.
At this age level, the skills of accurate gluing and composing a beautiful composition are improved - children learn to harmoniously place an image on a base, put together elementary patterns from geometric shapes and plant elements.
The task of the teacher in the middle group is to clarify ideas about the shape of objects (in this case, trees, flowers). In this case, such techniques as moving the hand along the contour, including special didactic games in the lesson (for example, make a flower from parts - petals, stem, leaves), observing environmental objects, looking at pictures and illustrations are used. The teacher shows the children various options for making parts of the same object.
Preschoolers learn to make flowers of various shapes from different geometric shapes
In addition, the teacher’s task is to develop a sense of color in students, to select contrasting shades that will look beautiful next to each other.
At the same time, in the middle group, children learn to perceive the teacher’s word: relying on the children’s experience, knowledge and skills, he can sometimes explain the task without using visual actions. For example, when creating an image of a magical garden, the children’s attention is drawn to the unusual shape and color of the parts from which trees and flowers can be made, while the teacher does not show the children individual elements.
Children are always inspired by collective activity, and joint appliqué is easier for them than drawing. The guys like to create an overall picture; in the course of work, they consult with each other and help their comrades.
During the process of children's creativity, the teacher gives children advice: which elements to choose, how best to arrange the details, but refrains from direct instructions.
The teacher must remember the individual approach: to stimulate the activity and independence of children. Since working with scissors at the age of four or five years is still quite difficult, children who experience difficulties should additionally be shown key cutting techniques on a separate sheet of paper.
Before starting to create the “Magic Garden” composition, the teacher invites each child to think about what object he wants to cut out and glue to the general background. Those guys who find it difficult to choose should submit an idea for creativity.
In the middle group, sufficient attention is paid to the analysis of the work received. The children are invited to admire the created picture, talk about it, and decorate the group room with it. The teacher highlights particularly expressive details, notes their interesting shape or color scheme. At the same time, you should not focus children’s attention on unsuccessful elements.
Preparing for the lesson, making parts
In the middle group, the main work on preparing details for the applicative lesson is carried out by the teacher. He should take care of a large size base (for example, a sheet of Whatman paper) painted in a suitable background. The teacher can offer the children ready-made shapes and silhouettes of trees, and they, in turn, will decorate them with various elements, which they will then cut out themselves.
The teacher offers the kids ready-made silhouettes of trees, and they decorate them with suitable elements
If the theme of the lesson sounds like “Wonderful Tree,” then the kids are offered a pre-drawn or glued trunk of an unusual color, with patterns (kids can stick them on as they work), which needs to be supplemented with the necessary details: leaves, fruits, birds, insects, etc. .
Children can stick unusual leaves, fruits, insects, birds, etc. onto a pre-prepared trunk.
To create leaves, fruits, etc., the teacher offers preschoolers paper squares, rectangles, and triangles. At the same time, the material on the table for collective creativity should be evenly distributed: each child should have free access to it (put several trays with parts).
Preschoolers work in subgroups: the material should be accessible to every child
You can offer the guys ready-made silhouettes of details for decoration, for example, original carved leaves. In this case, you need to focus on the beautiful arrangement of elements and a harmonious combination of colors.
The basis of the image of a fairy garden can be beautiful leaves of a bizarre shape.
What types of appliqué are appropriate to use to create the composition “Magic Garden”
When creating the image of a magical garden, students can be offered various applicative techniques. In addition to the traditional flat appliqué, you can include three-dimensional elements in the composition, which always look original. This could be leaves that are not completely glued, butterfly wings, grass in the form of a strip of paper with cuts that remain unglued, or bending of some parts of flat parts.
Application with volumetric elements
A mosaic appliqué, for example, made from lumps of multi-colored napkins, also gives a volume effect. For the development of fine motor skills, the cutting technique is perfect, as well as bulk application (using cereals or coarse salt).
Application using bulk and breaking techniques
Kids will be happy to create an applique collage - they will paste cut-out images from magazines and postcards onto the base. By the way, colorful store catalogs can also be useful for this purpose.

The most suitable material for the job, including the base
Such an unusual lesson topic as “The Magic Garden” involves the use of a variety of materials - both conventional and non-standard. So, in addition to traditional shades of paper, children should be offered gold and silver colors and velvet paper.
In addition, to make work more interesting and exciting for children, you can provide them with fabric parts, natural and waste materials. These can be satin ribbons, tree leaves, seeds, fluff, shiny candy wrappers, chocolate wrappers, cut-out elements from juice and milk cartons, etc. An interesting three-dimensional effect is achieved by using foam rubber or cotton wool.

Volumetric applique with children “Grapes” | Preschooler
All children love grapes - ripe, appetizing and healthy. And in this lesson we suggest you make a realistic fruit from soft corrugated paper. Why plausible? Yes, because we will get a voluminous applique as a result. To make such a postcard, you need to be patient, because you will have to do a lot of details, but there is nothing complicated in such work. The craft will be interesting for children in the preparatory group and first graders.
If you teach the colors, shapes or names of fruits with preschoolers, then this master class will be useful for you. It is always better to present new material in a playful way so that the lessons yield good results. At home, you can make such a craft for some kind of celebration, and write a beautiful congratulation with wishes on the back side. A beautiful card with congratulations can be safely included in the bride’s bouquet of roses.
To make a three-dimensional applique, prepare:
- corrugated paper for green, purple or blue grapes;
- cardboard the size of a standard postcard for the base;
- green paper for leaves, brown or black for tassel antennae;
- scissors;
- glue liquid or solid pencil;
- black felt-tip pen.
How to make paper grapes
1. First, take care of the grape leaves. Take green paper, draw carved parts with a felt-tip pen - 2 pieces or more. Also be sure to draw the veins on the leaves. Cut them out with scissors. You may have to help the kids wield sharp scissors and do this stage of the work for them.
2. Prepare a sheet of cardboard - the basis of the picture. Glue the leaves on it at the very top. Also, cut out oblong curls from black or brown paper - antennae and a stem for an appetizing brush. Glue all the parts to the same place where the leaves will be. The upper part for the future brush is ready.
3. Proceed with the procedure for creating green (purple or blue) grapes. Use soft corrugated paper. Its texture will allow you to create small pellets. If you don’t have corrugated paper, you can replace it with colored napkins; they will also allow you to create details of the desired texture. Cut the prepared paper into squares. Roll each square into a ball. Simply squeeze the pieces between your palms and rub in a circular motion. Children can easily cope with this work on their own.
4. Make enough balls to create a grape tassel. Apply glue to the base of the picture. At this stage, you can use liquid PVA or a pencil. Start gluing the balls from the top, pressing them onto the paper. If the glue is liquid, you will have to wait a bit until it dries. The pencil instantly grabs the paper.
5. Fill the intended brush completely with soft paper balls.
The grapes in the form of a three-dimensional applique are ready. This is an easy way to practice with preschool children. Taking these tips into account, be sure to make other fruits or vegetables with the guys: carrots, apples, pears, plums. It's so fun to experiment and create something unique. Buy a set of corrugated paper, select shades, draw a template on cardboard and fill the drawing with soft balls.
Specific options for the collective composition “Magic Garden” in the middle group
The collective application “Magic Garden” is offered to middle school students at the end of the school year (May). By this time, the guys already had skills in this kind of work - in the first half of the year (November) they created a joint composition “Basket of Mushrooms”.
During the lesson, preschoolers are given freedom of creativity; they independently determine the content of the image: they include strange trees, flowers in the picture, it can even be unusual animals, birds and insects (at the request of the children). The main goal of such a lesson is not only to consolidate visual skills, but, above all, to develop imagination and figurative perception.
You can make the topic of the lesson more specific and invite the children to create a wonderful apple orchard where apple trees with unusual fruits will grow. The teacher prepares a base in advance with drawn tree trunks and crowns, and each child cuts out an apple of the color and size he likes (they can be, for example, blue or silver) and sticks it on any place.
The theme can also be described as a wonderful tree: in this case, kids decorate one large blank (trunk and crown) with strange fruits and leaves.
Materials and tools
Before work begins, you should prepare tools and materials:
- Thick cardboard.
- Multi-colored paper.
- Scissors with rounded ends.
- PVA glue or stationery pencil.
- Wallpaper.
- Cotton wool.
- Felt pen.
- Cotton pads.
- Watercolor paints.
How to play up the beginning of a lesson in an interesting way
At the age of four or five years, children do not yet separate play from direct educational activities, therefore, in order to interest them in a creative activity as much as possible, the teacher must think through an exciting start to the lesson. For example, a group may receive a letter from a good wizard. He has a wonderful garden with unusual trees, on which fabulously beautiful flowers bloom and delicious fruits grow. But due to the tricks of the evil witch, the flowers did not bloom this year. The kids should help - decorate the trees with their strange flowers.
Another option is that a girl Masha comes from a fairyland to visit the children (a doll is on display). She tells an interesting story. One day she went for a walk in a wonderful forest to admire its beauty: all the trees there were bright and elegant. And so she walked and met one sad tree: it was worried that it did not have beautiful flowers and fruits. Masha felt very sorry for the tree, but she didn’t know how to help it—she couldn’t do it alone.
When telling preschoolers such stories, it is necessary to provide them with illustrations for them - pictures depicting magical nature. These can be gardens and clearings where apple trees with huge fruits grow, trees with soft lilac foliage, bizarrely shaped plants, among which fairy-tale characters (fairies, unicorns, anthropomorphic insects, etc.) walk.

Kids always love to transform into representatives of some profession, fairy-tale heroes. Therefore, they will enthusiastically accept the teacher’s offer to become wizards for a while and create the image of a magical garden, which they can populate at will with unusual trees, flowers, birds, beetles, and butterflies.
On the eve of the lesson, it is good to invite the children to complete puzzles on the theme “Garden”.
Before a creative activity, it is good to offer preschoolers puzzles on the relevant topic.
You can start a visual arts activity with a short fairy tale or an episode from a suitable work (after all, too long a story will tire the children). For example, in the fairy tale story “The Magic Garden” by Elena Zheryakova, the girl Lilya has a dream in which she goes to a wonderful castle and meets her cat there. It turns out that the animal can talk and invites its owner to take a walk in the garden. Lilya sees beautiful flowers: some her mother grew at the dacha, and others she has never seen before. There was a wonderful smell in the garden, and a bright rainbow shone in the sky. The girl's mood became simply wonderful. The cat told her about the names of flowers and various interesting facts from the life of plants (it was not for nothing that in the summer they took her with them to the dacha). She also told Lila that this garden is magical: if you look at the flowers and inhale their wonderful aroma, then all the bad things will be forgotten.
The following fairy tale with the same name, which was invented by schoolgirl Margarita Efimova, is also suitable for the lesson. One family had a large garden where various fruit trees grew: apple and pear trees, plums and apricots. And one day beautiful birds flew there. The son grabbed a stick and began to drive them away. The father scolded the boy. And the next day the garden became sad, and all the fruits became bitter. It turns out that the birds were magical and sang magical songs to the trees, but now they are offended and no longer come. Mom told her son that he should go into the forest, find the birds and apologize to them. The boy did so, and then the garden came to life again and the fruits became tasty.
The story of Elena Pishchulina-Volkova “A Tale of Love” also deserves attention. Magic Garden" (intended for children and adults). Here we are talking about a wonderful, kind garden that talked with the sun.
“Sunlight took Joy and Warmth by the hands (although a little warmth always remained to warm the conversation) and walked quietly and calmly through the Garden. The warmth caught up with them a little later, having already warmed the communication between the Garden and the Sun, it hurried after Joy and Sunlight. Oh, my God! How wonderful it was in this Garden - everyone loved each other in it: trees, flowers, cheerful bees and light-winged butterflies, carefree dragonflies, bugs, and spiders - after all, the Sunlight was nearby, and the Warmth entered the Soul of the Garden and warmed her, and the Joy that the guests brought filled the hearts of all its inhabitants.”
After reading such works, you can invite the children to create images of anthropomorphic trees inhabiting an unusual garden: glue on them, among other details, eyes and a smile (the teacher provides the details).
To convey imagery and expressiveness, it is good to include artistic words (riddles, poems, sayings) in the lesson.
Birds, bees, flowers, trees, They all live in our wonderful garden, We invented this garden ourselves In our little kindergarten. We all worked together and now, this garden on paper is blooming. Very bright, beautiful, wonderful, Made by our skillful hand.

The guys raise their hands up and spin around themselves. The second circle is the marigolds; they form a dance around the golden balls. And the third circle is baby marigolds: they squat down because these flowers are the shortest.
The wind blew, the flowers came to life and moved: golden balls were spinning, marigolds were moving in a circle in one direction, and marigolds were moving in the other.
