Cars made of colored paper for children. Applications for the little ones from colored paper and cereals

Good day to my dear readers and friends, Tatyana Sukhikh is here! Looking through my notes, I suddenly noticed that I had chosen some completely girly subjects for creative activities with children - flowers, fish... Today I decided to correct the situation and propose a theme for boys: an applique machine made from colored paper. Although many little princesses are not averse to playing with toy vehicles from time to time...

Perhaps, creating vehicles through appliqué is the best activity for mastering the concepts of geometric shapes. Children, having made their first car from a square, rectangle and circles, will simultaneously remember the names and shapes of the parts of their work.

For those who trust only methodological literature, I can offer an excellent selection of “smart” materials.

“Labyrinth.ru” has compiled a good mini-library of didactic materials for those interested in methods of organizing creative activities with children:

Educational game poster with stickers " Let's go, we'll sail, we'll fly"is a fascinating journey into the world of transport. This educational material has one trick: the stickers are reusable, so you can vary the tasks for the child. The poster is suitable for the youngest children who are learning to speak.

Creativity kit "Necessary machines" consists of beautifully and brightly drawn details for applique. True, the background needs to be selected separately. An excellent material for children who are just mastering the art of appliqué.

An interesting set for children of the middle and older groups - "Paper painting: car". Available instructions and ready-made parts - all you have to do is cut and glue so that you get a three-dimensional image that can even be framed like a picture.

In “UchMag” I looked for two sets for my little pupils:

"Cat in the Car"- a wonderful image that will be interesting for children to recreate. I'll have to cut them out instead, but they can glue the pieces on themselves. "Technology in the city"– a great set for creativity. All created pictures will remain in the album, which will allow parents to keep samples of children's work as souvenirs.

Features of transport applications in different age groups

It is worth noting that learning to work with paper and scissors occurs strictly in stages in kindergarten, which I have already written about several times. We never give children tasks that are too difficult for their age. Our work is built taking into account the anatomical features of the child’s hand, psyche, and capabilities.

I also advise parents not to run ahead of the locomotive, but to select activities according to age indicators.

Using the example of transport, I will tell you what stages the application training takes from the junior to the preparatory group.

1-2 junior groups work only with glue and finished parts. The smallest ones only add one or two missing details to the picture I made in advance. No more! For example, I made a fire truck paper composition using templates. Children receive a picture of a car, glue and any detail on their desktop: wheels, a fire escape, a cabin window. Their task is to stick the part in the right place, carefully and correctly.

The middle group also works without scissors in the first half of the school year, but receives all the necessary details to create a composition. Children must choose a background, lay out all the details and glue everything one by one. You can offer the guys to make an applique from non-standard materials, which I also wrote a lot about.

Templates can be printed from the Internet, which is extremely convenient. And you will always have ready-made material at hand for teaching your child.

By the way, about the question of when can you give scissors to children? At home, under your own control, you can begin training to work with this dangerous object at least from the age of two, if you want. We, educators, will be only too happy to accept such a developed child into kindergarten. But in kindergarten it is impossible to monitor 20 children who are holding a cutting object in their hands. Therefore, at the discretion of the teacher, he can teach the use of scissors with blunt ends, sometimes in the middle group, but more often in the older group.

The older group is already mastering scissors with all its might, so first we make simple machines with the children, practicing their cutting skills. The child does everything himself: cuts out the parts, chooses the background and glues the parts. At first, you can also use printed images of the car, onto which children glue their parts on top.

Firetruck in applique class

The most spectacular colored paper is a fire truck. It can be done in different ways, adding or removing details according to the age of the child. After all, a “fire station” is a red rectangle with wheels and the numbers “01”, which you can optionally complement with a fire escape, a window in the cabin, a “flashing light”, etc.

The preparatory group already has the skills to work with scissors, glue and paper. You can do whatever you want with kids this age! So, we use all the studied non-traditional techniques and materials, combine them, and give the opportunity to show our own view of things.

The same fire truck can be created from buttons, lumps of paper, flagella, using the trimming technique, etc.

Older preschoolers can make appliqués with many details; they should be able to achieve the most realistic look of the image, understand what to add to the composition and what is unnecessary.

As you can see, such a simple activity - appliquing a machine - is a child’s important work on his own development.

If you are raising a child at home, then I advise you to review the kindergarten curriculum for each age and plan your classes according to the example of the teacher’s work plan. In general, the daily routine in kindergarten is very well thought out, we keep up with everything, and by school the children acquire the necessary minimum of skills and knowledge.

It is very difficult to captivate boys, especially preschoolers, for a long time. And when it comes to needlework, parents are often faced with a child’s complete reluctance to do “girly things.” And in this case, you have to resort to a trick, for example, inviting the child to make crafts on the theme of his favorite toys. Boys especially like to draw, sculpt and paint a variety of models of cars. In the master classes below you will find several variations of service cars using the appliqué technique.

This small MK is suitable for teaching with children in the middle group. Here it is important to cut out all the details correctly, and this can be done using pre-prepared templates, from which children will simply transfer the contours onto colored paper. To make work go faster, you can use self-adhesive paper.

Step-by-step description of the lesson:

Three-dimensional fire truck made of colored paper

In addition to the applique, you can offer the children to make a three-dimensional model of a fire truck. This activity is suitable for older children in the preparatory group:

With such three-dimensional models, the whole group will be able to play in the future.

Paper police car

For children in the younger group to master the basics of needlework, applications from pre-printed templates and pictures are well suited.

For example, you can invite children to cut out and glue together parts of a police car like this: But this machine can be used as a stencil for appliqués:
Applique can be made not only from paper. This is what, for example, a road patrol car made of plasticine looks like:

Making a truck out of colored paper

The easiest way to applique a truck is to use simple geometric shapes. This lesson is ideal for children in kindergarten:

You can offer such an experiment for children. Add applique elements to the most ordinary drawing:

Ideas and templates for applications with cars

Paper applications

The applique gives enormous scope for children's imagination. We offer you the most interesting ideas for making cars using this technique.

Such templates are very convenient, because in this case, for applique it is enough to cut out the blanks and glue them step by step onto the base. For beginning needleworkers, this practice will be very useful.

Boys of all ages love transport. This love can be used so that the son puts on this or that thing, fills in the gaps in mathematics, falls asleep during the day without whims, eats all the porridge... The main thing is that the child has a “car” appliqué in one form or another in his field of vision. It can be sewn, embroidered, knitted, or made from paper. Let's talk about this in more detail.

Paper transport

Paper appliqués are good for postcards and panels. At the same time, boys are happy to make cars, without saying that “handicrafts” are a girl’s activity, and dads are pleased to receive gifts from their sons for their birthday, professional holiday, or February 23rd.

An unusual postcard in the shape of a car. Find any template and transfer it onto folded thick paper. It is better to take a car that has a wide side, trunk, body where the fold of the postcard will be located. Cut out the card on three sides. It turns out a car that can be opened. Now you decorate the outside and inside of the card and write congratulations.

You can make a classic greeting card with a gift box, and when you open it, a three-dimensional “car” applique will unfold. Just when bending the sheet, cut the strip, bend it in the opposite direction, and glue the car. Now, when you open the postcard, the car will “rush” forward. Next, draw the landscape (sky, road, hills).

Police car, fire truck, ambulance

You can build any vehicle from felt, drape, corduroy and other non-fraying material, be it a police car, an ambulance or a fire truck. To do this, print out a car template from coloring books for kids, since the image in them is simple, large, and simplified in detail. Cut all the parts.

To make it you need a white body, a black hood with a trunk, wheels, blue wheels, red flashing lights, yellow headlights. There is no need to make glass; their color will depend on the base of the product. Cut out a solid police car template from white felt. On this base you pin the remaining parts, stitch them on a sewing machine or by hand.

According to this plan, another applique is made (fire department). You need several of them. Sew adhesive tape on the back side. Sew a regular rectangular mat with road markings. Sew Velcro on the “road.” Now official vehicles can drive in any direction.

Applique "truck"

Small pillows with cargo transport look original. Pillowcases are made as follows.

• Cut two squares of cotton to the size of the pillow (take into account volume, allowances, space for a zipper).
• Make an applique using self-adhesive fabric, ironing the parts with a hot iron.
• Next, glue the machine to the front side of one part and sew the edges with an overcast stitch.
• Sew three sides of the pillowcase from the wrong side and turn it inside out.
• Sew a zipper on the bottom.
• Place a pillowcase over your pillow.

Knitted or sewn elements perfectly hide a stain or a hole on children's things. For example, a T-shirt can be decorated with a bright applique “The machine is carrying the harvest.” You don't have to buy it, you can sew it.

To do this, cut out a complete pickup template from cotton. Sew wheels, rims, bumper, window onto it. Sew all the lines using satin stitch or zigzag. Separately sew a box with a pumpkin (take thick material). Pin the pieces onto the T-shirt and sew them on with an overcast stitch.

Application "passenger car"

Anyone who knows how to crochet can knit any pattern. A knitted applique will decorate a scarf, hat, blanket, rug. To knit a passenger car, cast on a chain of thirteen stitches. In the first row, starting from the third loop, knit eleven double crochets.

The next row increases by three columns (increase from the hood side). The third one is saved unchanged. If, when knitting, the thread ends up on the trunk side, pass the product through connecting posts, and then move on to the fourth row.

In the fourth row, knit a hood (five stitches), for the window, cast on five stitches, step back three stitches, knit two stitches with two crochets, for the second window, cast on the same chain and in the last two stitches of the third row, knit two stitches with two crochets and one top .

The last row is tying the entire applique with single crochets. Next, knit round wheels. First, shape the car (if necessary, iron the edges through gauze), then sew on the wheels.

Knitted appliques

Please note that thick yarn will make a voluminous applique. A machine made from thin yarn will keep its shape if you knit simple columns with slip stitches, that is, the thread is knitted with the column and a relief is created.

If you are making a blanket or bedspread, then use soft yarn for appliqués; for rugs you need thick yarn. First you make cars, then you knit colored squares. Distribute the blanks (take pictures of all options, then choose the best one).

Then sew appliqués onto the squares according to the pattern of the product. Next, tie all the elements with the main color and connect them to each other. Tie the resulting rug with multi-colored posts or sew on braid.

Such applications can be used in an educational book or on a rug, supplemented with other elements. Then the cars will be removable. And they are attached to the base using adhesive tape, buttons, ropes, snaps, and zippers. They can be made convex by adding filler.

Brief summary

The "machine" applique performs a number of functions: develops children's motor skills when working with paper, felt or textile cards; decorates clothes, pillows, blankets, bedspreads; hides flaws on children's things; enriches the child’s cognitive sphere with the active participation of an adult.

Making crafts with a small child is a pleasure. There are many options and materials, you just need to choose the right ones and use your imagination. In addition, crafts develop finger motor skills and the baby’s imagination. On the Internet you can find many ideas and recommendations for choosing crafts, as well as step-by-step master classes. They will certainly help you decide on an application that both the child and the parent will like.

Children's applications from colored paper and cereals are fun and enjoyable to make with a child: a truck and a passenger car, a powerful KAMAZ, a horse and a goldfish, a traveling frog - the motives for creativity are simply inexhaustible. The applique turns out voluminous and looks cute and funny. If the child is very young, perhaps it is worth simplifying the process - download and print the stencil for such an application from the Internet, and an older child can draw it himself.

Children who do not yet know how to cut out complex parts and cannot choose a craft on their own, can use the following ideas:

• fish in an aquarium;
• autumn/spring/summer/winter landscape;
• fruits and vegetables;
• butterfly;
• flower meadow;
• house;
• car.

Applications for children consist of geometric shapes. You can use colored paper, cardboard, self-adhesive paper, foil, cereal and other interesting materials. To make your child have fun, it is best to turn the work process into a game. After the fake is ready, you can use it to decorate one of the walls or your child’s desk.

Application "Car" made of colored paper

For this simple but beautiful machine for little ones you will need:

To make the car look colorful, it is best to choose bright paper colors: yellow, red, blue, green. For this applique we will use blue and yellow colors for the body and black for the wheels. To make such a simple craft You won't need to print the template.

1. On a sheet of blue paper, draw a square (3.5x3.5 cm) and a rectangle (4x6 cm).
2. On a sheet of yellow paper, draw a small rectangle for the window (1.5x2 cm) and a large rectangle (4.5x10 cm).
3. Cut out round wheels (two parts) from black paper. A child of primary school age can cope with the drawings on his own, but for a child of preschool age it is better to prepare all the details and then hand him the finished components of the application.
4. Coat a large yellow rectangle with glue and place it horizontally on the white base sheet.
5. Place the blue rectangle vertically next to the yellow one.
6. Glue a yellow window onto the blue rectangle.
7. Glue the blue square to the blue rectangle.
8. Add wheels under the structure. The car is ready!

Progress of step-by-step work.

Making the “Steamboat” applique.

Cut sheets of A4 paper of different colors into strips of different widths: from 1 to 5 cm. These colored strips will become the basis for the applique.

From these strips we will make the main parts of the applique: a yellow rectangle (9x4cm) for the base of the steamboat, for the boat of a sailboat (6x2cm), for the cabins of the steamboat (4x4cm), for decorating boats - a strip 0.3cm wide, for the mast a strip 0.5cm wide, for windows - rectangles (2x3cm and 1x2cm), for sails rectangles (4x3cm), using a compass, make circles with a diameter of 1.5cm for the window, a triangle (2cm long) for the flag and a flag, as in the photo, a pipe from a 1cm strip 2cm long, a circle for the sun (2cm in diameter) and triangles for the rays.

To make the base of the steamer, we will draw arcs on the yellow rectangle, as shown in the photo. Similarly, we will make a blank for making sails (two blanks of purple and two white).

Glue red stripes to the base of the steamboat, boats and pipes. We will glue the windows onto the booths, as shown in the photo.

Glue the finished parts of the steamboat onto a colored sheet of paper, as shown in the photo.

To the left and right of the steamboat we will glue two masts, and to them flags and sails, as shown in the photo.

We will glue the boats to the sails.

At the top of the applique we will glue the details of the sun and cloud. We cut out the clouds randomly, in arcs.

For the waves, we will cut out wide arcs from blue paper of various sizes and paste them onto the free spaces between the steamboat and the boats.
The application is ready.

Making an applique "Locomotive".

Make a rectangle for the carriage (12x7cm), a door for the carriage (3x5cm), windows (2x2.5cm) and (3x4cm), cut off a corner for the door handle, and a rectangle (5x1cm), strips for the windows (2.5x0.3cm).
To make a train, make a figure (can be glued from a rectangle (7x5cm) and a square (4cm side), a window (2x1.5cm) and a door (5x3cm), for a pipe (1x2cm), a trapezoid (small base 1cm), circles for wheels with a diameter of 1 , 5 cm, a circle for a flashlight with a diameter of 1 cm, a trapezoid or triangle with a base of 4 cm, a strip 0.5 cm wide for rails.

Glue the doors and windows to the train and trailer.

Lay out the applique parts as shown in the photo. Glue the rail and wheels

Glue all other parts of the applique as shown in the photo. Cut out the clouds randomly, using arcs of white paper.

Glue the parts of the sun (circle, 2cm in diameter, and triangles). Triangles can be cut from a strip of 1.5 - 2 cm, turning the scissors at an angle to the strip.

The application is ready.

Making the “Space” applique.

Make a rectangle for the rocket (7x3cm), a triangle with a side of 3cm, two triangles with a small side of 1cm, circles for the windows with a diameter of 1.5cm, for the door (2x1cm). Round the top corners of the rectangle for the door.
For the planets, make colored circles of various diameters (2-3 cm), ovals with a cut out center (the size of the ovals is 0.3 cm larger than the planet), and use a hole punch to make circles - stars of various shades of yellow.
For the planet “Earth”, round the edges of the rectangle (7x3cm). and cut out random figures to represent sushi. The earth can be made from blue or green paper.

Let's glue the main parts of the rocket, as shown in the photo.

Let's glue the door and windows - portholes - onto the rocket. We will make the fire from rectangles, cutting out a small triangle on one side.

Glue on the details of the planet “Earth” and the Moon (yellow circle).

Glue multi-colored planet circles around the rocket.

We will glue stars between the rocket and the planets. The application is ready.

Adviсe.
1. To make circles, you can use lids of various diameters as templates.
2. Strips can be cut not only with scissors, but also with a paper cutting knife, as well as a special device for cutting paper.

Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your feedback.
