Applique Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bear Facts

Although grizzly bears are not endangered, an existential threat exists. 1,000 grizzly bears left in the wild .
Grizzly bears are a North American subspecies of brown bear.
Grizzly bears are often seen at some of Alaska's best fishing spots, where they feast to accumulate enough body fat to survive the winter.
During the winter, grizzly bears hibernate. They dig holes on the hillside. Females give birth at this time.
Grizzly bears are powerful predators, although they eat a wide variety of foods. Nuts, seeds, berries, fish, rodents and moose!

Explanation of the application execution procedure

In order for children to complete their work successfully and enjoy the activity, the teacher needs to clearly and clearly explain the procedure. It will depend on the choice of techniques, materials, and whether preschoolers work together or individually.

Almost all instructions are accompanied by a demonstration of intermediate stages of work, but for some types of application this is not possible, for example, recently glued cereal will fall off the sheet if it is placed in a vertical position. Children need to be introduced to such techniques in advance, in their free time, and then verbal instructions will be sufficient during the lesson.

Item trim applique

The most common method is subject application. It helps to develop skills in using scissors and paper, and gives the teacher the opportunity to see which of the children successfully cope with program tasks and which need individual help. Algorithm for making paper trim applique:

Each child completes the applique on a separate sheet.
We prepare parts depending on the selected animal.
We lay out the details on the background so that the image is in the center; you can use the sample.
We glue it in this order: body, head, paws, tail, small details (ears, eyes, mouth). You can draw faces with felt-tip pens or pencils. Smooth it out with a napkin.
If desired, decorate the background with snow, grass, flowers, etc.

Photo gallery: finished works using the cut applique technique

The children complemented the squirrel figurine with a design of a pine branch and a foil nut.

The image of a cat consists of ovals and circles, which the preschooler needs to cut out from squares

The “Elephant” applique uses many additional decorative details, so it is better to divide it into two classes or between two children

A child of the sixth year of life can make this figurine of a fox independently.

Making a collective silhouette applique

All children in the group participate in the collective application. If the group is large, it is divided into two subgroups. The work is performed in the following order:

We attach the stencil or template to a sheet of paper. If the paper is not double-sided colored, choose the white side.
We outline the image of the animal.
Cut along the contour.
We turn it over, glue it or add details.
Turn it over again and apply glue along the edge of the silhouette.
We choose a place for the figure on a common sheet, glue it, smooth it with a napkin.

Usually, in group work, children in the older group already agree themselves who will place their parts of the image and where. For those who can do it faster, the teacher offers to decorate the background by gluing small decorative elements (large ones are glued in advance, before class).

Photo gallery: examples of collective works using the silhouette appliqué technique

An applique on the theme “Farm” can also be made using the collage technique, using clippings from magazines or printed images of characters

The panel “Sheep in the Meadow” combines silhouette and mosaic appliqué techniques

The cheerful penguins in this applique are made according to a template and complemented with trimmed details. Collective works depicting animals from hot countries also look great, because their silhouettes are easily recognizable and varied

Performing mosaic applications in pairs or subgroups

Children receive sheets with ready-made animal outlines. The materials for the mosaic are scraps of paper, balls from napkins (pupils roll them up in advance in their free time), cereals, padding polyester or cotton wool, poplar fluff, and plant seeds. The work flow is as follows:

The image is coated with glue in small areas, starting from the top.
They glue the materials, guided by the ready-made sample and the teacher’s advice.
Allow the appliqué to dry and then remove excess materials, carefully shaking them onto a scrap plate.
Finish drawing or gluing on details.

Mosaic application is the most labor-intensive, requiring perseverance, painstakingness and patience, so for it you need to choose the simplest images with large parts.

Photo gallery: finished works and templates for mosaic application

This bunny made of cotton wool and cotton balls was made collectively

Mosaic applique “Fox” can be done by one or two older children

The giraffe from the cereal will be erased very positively and colorfully

When looking for applique templates on the Internet, you should pay attention to the numerous coloring books for kids

With such positive animal templates, the application will turn into a fun game.

When making cereal appliqué using this template, it is better to finish the tail and horns or use threads or ribbon

Application from ready-made elements

This type of application is the simplest; image preparation is minimal. It requires cotton pads, leaves, geometric shapes. Children may only need to cut and bend the finished pieces in half. The main thing that is needed is the ability to compose and design a beautiful composition. Planar design skills are already required here. Students love this technique because almost everyone can do it, and the finished work has a very attractive, impressive appearance.

An application made from ready-made forms can become an illustration for your favorite fairy tale or cartoon

In an appliqué made from ready-made parts, even one child can depict several figures, part of a landscape, an animal’s home, or illustrate an episode of a favorite fairy tale. This type of application is also suitable for working together. How to perform this application:

We think about what we will place and where, which parts will be useful intact, and which need to be cut and bent.
We bend and cut, if necessary, some elements.
We lay out the parts of the application on the background, forming a completely finished composition.
We take each part in turn, spread glue along the edge and put it in the same place where it was. Gently smooth it through a napkin (dry leaves and twigs do not need to be smoothed, children pay attention to this).
We decorate with small elements.

Photo gallery: samples of applications from ready-made forms

The applique can consist of only circles, but at the same time it can be difficult to complete, requiring attention and the ability to select colors. To convey the image of a puppy, children need to think about how to position the tail and ears, because the hero’s emotions depend on this. The lamb in the meadow was made from cotton pads and cotton swabs, complementing the composition with ready-made adhesive-based flowers

An original cat made from cotton pads will decorate a corner of nature

Children can make these hares in pairs

The elephant figurine will require preschoolers to diligently convey the shape of the legs and trunk

Ready-made shapes combined with silhouette cutting created a wonderful picture of a summer farm

By gluing the “needles” of this hedgehog, children coordinate their actions so that the animal looks smart and neat

Paper applique Raccoon

Raccoon Facts:

Raccoons will eat anything. Insects, mice, fish, eggs and even garbage!
Because they eat almost anything, you can find raccoons in any environment - from the farm to the city!
Raccoons love to live in hollows, logs, and even attics! Young raccoons often spend the first two months of their lives high in tree holes until their mother drops them to the ground.
Raccoons typically live 2-3 years in the wild.
Northern raccoons hibernate - they binge on food to store fat and then sleep in their den all winter.

Skills and abilities of children of the senior group in application

What have children of the sixth year of life mastered in the field of appliqué? First, they know how to handle scissors safely. The health of the students is the priority of the kindergarten, and each teacher gives his students clear instructions on how to use scissors so as not to harm themselves and their friends.

In addition, children in the older group can:

cut the paper into “straws” and wide strips of different lengths;
tear the cut strips into pieces and place them on plates for later use;
cut circles from squares and ovals from rectangles using smooth rounding of corners;
cut geometric shapes, getting smaller or new ones (small rectangles from a large one, triangles from a square); cut out objects or parts of them from paper folded in half and accordion-style:
use glue carefully and sparingly, remove excess glue with a napkin;
coat part of the application with glue and fill this area with scraps of paper, cereal, cotton wool and other materials;
combine in one work several types of materials, various techniques and methods of making parts (quilling, designing, modeling, drawing).

One or several children can work on the image of an animal, depending on the complexity. If a collage is planned, children can prepare animal figures in advance during independent visual arts activities, and during the lesson they can only cut and paste them.

Children in the older group know how to work without interfering with each other. consulting and interacting

Lion clipping

Facts about lions:

Lions live in groups called "prides".
Male lions boast a mane, a large fringe that encircles their heads.
Males defend the pride territory, which they clearly mark with the smell of their urine.
Lionesses are hunters in a pride. They often work together to hunt antelope, zebra, wildebeest, zebra, etc.
Most lions on earth live in Africa, although a very small population can be found in India's Gir Forest.

Organization of an application on the theme “Animals” in the senior group

An application on the topic “Wild and Domestic Animals” in the senior group is a great way not only to consolidate the knowledge, skills and abilities of children, but also to help foster love for our smaller brothers, kindness and humanity. By developing these qualities in students, teachers help children socialize and establish relationships with others, which is especially important for future schoolchildren.

Having chosen which animal the children will portray, the teacher must first think through the following questions:

Will it be a subject (one animal) or a plot application. In the second case, several characters and additional details are required (shed, kennel, image of a forest clearing, etc.), which also need to be prepared. It is very difficult for one child to make a trimmed or mosaic plot applique, but if it is an applique from ready-made forms, it is quite possible.
How many children will work on the work. It is possible to make an application by one child, in a pair, in a small subgroup (3–6 people), or by the whole team. Collective work is appropriate if the work is voluminous or complex (collage, mosaic, combination of various techniques).
Application size. It can be done on standard A4 sheets if 1-2 children are working, but for collective and subgroup applications it is better to take A3 sheets, the kids will be able to sit comfortably around them and create a composition without interfering with each other. The details should be of such a size that the entire image looks harmonious.

There should be enough space on the sheet not only for the animal itself, but also for the accompanying parts

The application must be made accessible to every child, that is, tasks must be individualized depending on the level of preparation and abilities of the children. After all, children have different skills and pace of activity. Some cope faster and may get bored, others have difficulty using scissors and cutting techniques. This is especially true for newcomers who came to the senior group from home. Such children can be offered ready-made parts, templates or stencils, while their more prepared peers make appliqué parts on their own, using previously acquired skills. For those who can do it faster, you can offer an additional amount of work: decorate the background with details, draw or stick on food for the animal, and other small elements.

Wombat paper applique

Wombat Facts:

Wombats are marsupials, meaning they have pouches on their bellies in which they raise their babies.
A baby wombat lives in its mother's pouch for about five months before it emerges.
Wombats use their claws to dig burrows in eucalyptus forests and grasslands.
Wombats are nocturnal and they are vegetarians (herbivores). They come out at night to eat grass, bark and roots.
A wombat that burrows in fields can be a destroyer of ranches and crop-dependent farms.

They find food by smell.
Anteaters live in tropical forests and grasslands of Central and South America.
They live for about 14 years and are classified as endangered.

Motivation for visual activities

Children in the older group perceive the teacher not only as a source of information, but also as a friend and interlocutor. The best motivation for depicting animals will be to appeal to the experience of the students, their feelings and emotions. Surely the children have experience communicating with animals; many have pets at home, they have seen cattle in the village, and wild animals in the zoo, on TV. A conversation about these impressions will help the teacher direct activities in the right direction and create a trusting atmosphere in the lesson.

In addition, they use visualization (object and plot pictures, excerpts from cartoons, videos with animals), artistic expression (riddles, poems, fragments of stories and fairy tales about animals), playful and surprise moments, problematic situations, for example:

Lesovichok comes to the children. He is very upset, because winter has come (the class is held in winter), and many of the inhabitants of the forest have fallen into hibernation. And Lesovichok misses his friends so much! He doesn't even have their portraits. The teacher invites the children to cheer up Lesovich by making portraits of forest animals that hibernate as souvenirs.
A learned gnome sends a letter to the group. His little grandson cannot remember the names and types of animals in hot countries. The learned gnome asks the children to make a large, interesting picture with several animals from the tropics. Children discuss the problem and decide to make a collective applique with the image of a giraffe, zebra, elephant, rhinoceros, etc.
Their favorite fairy-tale character (Dunno, Carlson, etc.) comes to the children. He reports that he has a pet, describes it, asks the children if they have pets, who they would like to have, what funny habits the animals have, and then invites the children to portray their favorite animal. This theme helps to unleash the imagination and creativity of children, and there is nothing wrong with little ones portraying puppies with wings or lilac and pink kittens, because they are not just conveying images of existing animals, but their dreams. In such work, it is good to combine appliqué and drawing, that is, the children paste the silhouette of the animal and draw the details.

Educators should remember that fish, birds, insects, and reptiles are also animals and their depiction will not be a mistake.

In any case, it is worth considering that children in the older group are looking for a partner, a friend in a teacher, so it is necessary to treat their ideas and proposals with understanding and interest, to support and develop manifestations of initiative, original thinking, and self-expression.

What is most important in visual arts is the joy of free creativity.

Crafts – applications from autumn leaves. The best photo ideas on the topic “Animal World”

Crafts with children. Beautiful autumn applications from dry leaves

The time has come for a bright and colorful autumn. Now yellowed, fallen leaves rustle underfoot. In the park where we walk with the children, the leaves are simply incredibly beautiful - crimson, orange and yellow. So, while walking, we always collect a bouquet of these colorful foliage. It’s not for nothing that golden autumn pleases us with its colors! Autumn leaves seem to be specially created for creativity: red, brown and yellow, of the most incredible shapes and sizes.

So now we have a collection of autumn leaves. We will use them to make crafts with the children. Maybe you too, having looked through our photo gallery “Crafts - applications from autumn leaves. The best photo ideas for preschool children” suddenly you want to make a wonderful applique of dry leaves with your own hands together with your child. Such creative work can be done for an autumn holiday or exhibition, or just for the mood. Preschool children will be happy to take part in creating such crafts, and schoolchildren can easily make them on their own.

It is a very exciting activity to watch how ordinary leaves that lay under our feet turn into funny little animals, people, landscapes or abstract patterns. Applique classes with children contribute to the development of fine motor skills, imagination, accuracy, and develop perseverance. After all, creativity is an important component of the harmonious development of your child!

And a little advice: before you start working, you can iron the collected leaves by placing them between two sheets of paper. When making autumn applications from leaves, the missing details of your fairy-tale scenes can be completed with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints.

Happy creativity! Share your works, send their photos to us by email and we will be happy to post them in our section!

Schemes and descriptions of work on the application of domestic and wild animals

Photo gallery: finished works of children

To complete this craft, children will have to work hard, rolling cotton balls

In this application, children glue parts onto the base, and the teacher “attaches” the figure with a stapler to create stripes on the skin.

The original use of the outlined arms and legs can be found in the applique

From the leaves of different tree species you can create whole pictures

Such an applique can be glued to the base and exist in the form of a three-dimensional picture.

Photo gallery: animal templates

This dog is quite easy to cut out, since it does not have too small elements. This template is convenient for mosaic appliqué

Children enjoy repeating geometric shapes, working with them as part of the appliqué

Such a turtle needs to be printed out in color, and children can draw spots on the shell themselves and fill them, for example, with buckwheat. To make an elephant, you will need to cut out quite small parts

Spots on a cow can be made from velvet paper

Pets

Let's look at examples of the application of the most “popular” pets.

"Dog"

In the older group, kids can work with 2-3 types of materials for mosaic application

This is an example of a mosaic application in which children cover the outline of the picture with cereals: millet, buckwheat, rice, and also use peas.

Instructions:

Children receive a template with a picture of a dog, PVA glue and separate bowls of cereal and peas.
Kids first apply glue to small areas to fill.
Start by placing peas on the back paw.
After this, they start with rice, which fills the eye and the spot on the chest.
We fill the nose, ear and spot on the side with buckwheat.
Finally, fill the remaining space with millet.

"Cat"

The cotton wool applique looks very unusual and voluminous.

The figure of a pet is made using mixed media: we add voluminous details made of cotton wool to elements made of colored paper.

Instructions:

The guys receive templates (a figurine of a cat and white clouds).
Then a fringe is made - grass - on a strip of green paper.
Kids glue the grass onto the base.
Then the cat and cloud templates are placed on the sheet.
Spread the figures with glue and fill them with pieces of cotton wool.
Finish drawing flowers (additional task).
Antennae, mouth and eyes for the cat are cut out from pieces of colored paper.

Using the same technology you can make the “Sheep” craft.

Wild animals

To make appliques of wild animals, it is better to take large representatives of the fauna or well-known ones, so that it is easier for children to remember and take into account all the details of their appearance.

"Hedgehog"

Leaf applications are a traditional autumn activity in kindergarten.

This classic applique is created from natural material - leaves. To make it more difficult, children are asked to complete the drawing of the hedgehog's face.

Instructions:

The kids receive a blank - a figurine of a hedgehog.
Children glue it to the base.
Use a black felt-tip pen to complete the nose, eye and mouth.
Apply glue to the “back”.
Lay out the leaves in several layers, pointing them upward.

"Squirrel"

The broken applique in the older group is complicated by the fact that small elements of the design also need to be filled in

The broken applique is familiar to children from the younger group. But in the older ones it becomes more complicated because the kids have to complete some elements of the image.

Instructions:

The guys prepare the material - they tear orange paper cut into strips into small pieces.
Then a base sheet with the contours of a squirrel is obtained.
Draw a mustache, nose and eye (these details may already be drawn on the template).
Apply glue to the figurine and carefully place the scraps within the outline.
If necessary, add trees (Christmas trees), the background, and also complement the picture with acorns (drawn or made in the form of an applied applique).

"Bunny"

Cotton pads are a very convenient material for application.

To complete this application you will need cotton pads, colored paper, cotton wool and grains of polystyrene foam.

Instructions:

Children glue a cotton pad onto the base sheet.
An oval is cut out of another disk - the muzzle of a hare.
The slightly smaller ovals are the legs.
From pieces of cotton wool we make snow under the paws and a small tail.
The disks folded in half are ears.
Disks cut in half are snowdrifts under the fir trees.
Christmas trees can be voluminous figures folded using the origami technique or cut out pictures.
We make a circle of smaller diameter from the disk, paint it yellow - this is the sun.
Apply a few drops of glue to the background and “scatter” the foam plastic snow.

"Fox"

The difficulty of this craft is that children need to carefully cut out several symmetrical parts of different sizes, including very small ones for the ears.

An example of an applied applique illustrating the fairy tale “Kolobok”. Made from geometric pieces.

Instructions:

Children cut out two isosceles triangles from an orange sheet. To do this, you can ask them to fold the sheet in half and cut the shape diagonally, starting from the bottom edge.
We unbend the figure, repeat the operation again, but this time the cutting line should be slightly smaller.
The next detail is the tail. The triangle should be narrow but long.
And to complete the preparation of the parts - the ears - two small symmetrical triangles.
Glue the parts to the base.
Cut out a circle and glue it to the fox’s nose.
We finish drawing the point of the nose, eyes and muzzle of Kolobok.

"Bear"

To turn a polar bear into a brown bear, you need to paint the bunting with watercolors

Thus, oatmeal, which is unloved by many toddlers, can become a very convenient material for the “Polar Bear” applique.

Instructions:

Children receive sheets of paper with a picture of a bear and cut them out along the outline.
Paste the picture onto the base.
Spread the figure with glue and cover it with oatmeal.
The nose and eye are made from black plasticine.

By the way, this resident of the north can be turned into a brown bear. To do this, after gluing the oatmeal, you need to coat it with brown paint (watercolor).

Application options

You can make a home for each of the animals.

"Doghouse"

When making the “Dog House” applique, children repeat the simplest geometric shapes

This applique is a combination of geometric shapes.

Instructions:

Children cut out a square, a triangle and a small circle along the contours.
Glue a square onto the base.
Above is a triangle.
To a square - a circle.
In addition, you can cut out a dog bone from white paper. The teacher draws the outline of the bone, and the children practice cutting out small symmetrical parts.

"Farm Animals"

To complete the “Farm Animals” applique, it is better to use a collage, which also very well develops the skill of neatly cutting and gluing parts, but at the same time saves lesson time

This can be a collective application using the collage technique with drawing elements.

Instructions:

Each child is given the task of cutting out an animal figurine.
The teacher explains which animal to stick where.
Then the kids finish painting the grass, clouds and sun with paints.

If the application is a group one, then an adult or a child can complete the drawing of the base, if the class time allows.

"Zoo Animals: Hippopotamus"

An applique of a combination of round and oval elements allows children to develop coordination when cutting and sticking

You can make up a whole zoo from different animals. This application can be a group one. In this case, the basis will be common, for example, a white sheet with the contours of fences, and the animals will become the product of individual creativity.

Instructions:

Cut out 4 circles from blue paper.
From gray paper - 2 circles.
Glue 2 blue ones in a line.
We place the other 2 slightly lower and slightly overlap each other.
We put gray on them.
A little higher we place another gray one.
Cut out an oval from blue paper.
Glue it at the intersection of the gray ones.
Cut out small ears from gray paper, and eyes from white paper.
Glue these elements.
We finish drawing the muzzle and pupils.

"Zoo Animals: Camel"

When using yarn, children must use the glue extremely carefully, so it is better to apply it with a thin brush

To make this applique you will need several strands of gray yarn.

Instructions:

Children cut out the figure of a camel along the contour.
Glue it to the base.
Glue pieces of yarn onto the camel's head, neck, hind legs and tail.
To recreate the animal’s habitat, you can cut out several cacti ovals from green paper.
We make needles from paper of a more saturated shade, cutting them in the form of short strips.

"Zoo Animals: Giraffe"

To make this craft, children must be able to select suitable pieces of paper to fill different parts of the outline

For this applique we will need to use the overlay and cutting techniques for making the craft. Moreover, the latter, despite its apparent simplicity - after all, it is mastered already in the younger group - is complicated by the fact that the pieces of paper need to be placed on a narrow contour (on the giraffe’s neck).

Instructions:

Children receive sheets of yellow paper with the outline of a giraffe.
The animal is cut out.
Glue onto the base.
Pieces are cut from brown paper to imitate the color of a giraffe.
The tail, eyes, and “horns” are also cut out.
Use a brown felt-tip pen to complete the nose and mouth.
Palm leaves are cut out of green paper, and triangular elements of the trunk are cut out of brown paper.
They “collect” the palm tree.
Complement the picture with the sun or clouds.
