IN middle group kindergarten children begin to get acquainted with the world around them. Adults can help them with this through creative tasks.

One of the popular methods is the “Ladybug” applique. During the lesson, the baby will learn about this unusual insect and gain new knowledge about color and geometric shapes.

There are several application options. The finished work is used to decorate postcards.

Creative activities in kindergarten or school are not just a way to keep kids busy.

In the course of their work, they acquire the skills necessary for development:

• learn to work with scissors;
• consolidate knowledge about color and shape;
• learn to choose the right color scheme;
• train attentiveness and perseverance;
• master safety precautions;
• develop fine motor skills of fingers;
• foster a caring attitude towards nature;
• form neatness.

The cow applique is made during school labor lessons, classes in the second younger group preschool institution. The craft is offered to be done at DPI club classes for younger schoolchildren. If a child likes to work with colored paper, then you can invite him to make one of the versions of this application at home.

At school or kindergarten, they most often make a classic paper applique, and at home, invite your child to make a three-dimensional version consisting of more elements.

Work for children 3-6 years old

With his own hands, a preschooler can make a craft from colored paper with different appearance. It is most interesting to work with volumetric appliqué. It helps develop imagination, looks more visual and authentic.

Volumetric applique is made using the following materials:

• colored paper red, black and white colors;
• green cardboard - one sheet;
• glue stick or classic PVA;
• simple pencil and eraser;
• scissors, correctly selected in size;
• black felt-tip pen or marker;
• black wool thread.

For the wings of a three-dimensional craft, take only double-sided red paper, and make the remaining parts of the ladybug from single-sided paper.

For children younger age You need to make templates in advance (large and small circles, semicircle) or cut out parts of the ladybug yourself. Children over 4 years old can trace cardboard blanks themselves. Preschoolers aged 5-6 years are able to draw circles without templates, but they will be uneven. Students can use compasses instead of templates.

Volume craft ladybug is made as follows:

1. The work begins with preparing the parts. From black paper you need to cut out: a large circle, a semicircle, 6 small circles.
2. From the white one, cut out two small circles that will become the basis for the eyes.
3. On the white circles you need to draw pupils with a black felt-tip pen (you can replace them with circles from a black sheet).
4. Glue the eye blanks onto the semicircle representing the ladybug's head. The pupils can be directed towards each other.
5. Make two large circles from a red piece of paper. Fold each piece in half to make the craft more voluminous.
6. Glue three dots to the first wing, spacing them evenly. In a similar way, decorate the second wing of the ladybug with spots.
7. To assemble the craft, a cardboard base is used. Draw from cardboard and then cut out a large leaf. You can draw veins on it with a felt-tip pen to make the applique more reliable.

Paper applique can be made on different backgrounds or bases. It is acceptable to use white cardboard on which a large flower or twig with several leaves of paper will be glued. They can simplify the task ready-made templates with large elements, then it will be easier to make an application. You can combine several forms of creativity in one work, and first draw the base for the applique with paints or colored pencils.

1. We begin the assembly with the body, which must be placed on a sheet of cardboard.
2. Then cut 6 pieces of wool thread to make the legs. Glue them on the body, 3 pieces on each side of the future ladybug.
3. Glue the head.
4. Attach the wings to the body at an angle to each other.

Bend the upper part of the wings slightly so that it seems that the insect is preparing to fly. After the craft is ready, discuss it with your child. You can ask him to tell where the ladybug will fly.

What can be added to the lesson?

The paper craft making activity can be divided into two stages if you are going to make a complex background part of the craft. In this case:

1. On the first day, ask your child to cut out a few petals and the center of the flower and glue them onto white cardboard. Or you can make an applique in the form of a branch with several leaves. It is permissible to make a drawing on cardboard. A teacher or parent needs to pay attention to ensure that the dimensions of the drawn picture correspond to the future ladybug.
2. On the second day, the application itself is performed. It may also be simplified or modified. You don’t have to make the legs from woolen thread; just draw them with a felt-tip pen. A voluminous craft can be simplified to a traditional one. To do this, you need to cut out just one circle from red paper and divide it in half.

To make the lesson more complete, choose poetry and musical accompaniment for it. Young children can read any work of fiction where one of the participants is a ladybug.

In middle preschool age, nursery rhymes and beliefs associated with this insect will be interesting. Younger schoolchildren are interested in facts from the animal world.

Various classical works can be used as musical accompaniment. Tchaikovsky's "Seasons" works well.

It is best to conduct the lesson on making the “Ladybug” appliqué in late spring, when the child can observe insects in the outside world.

During a walk, you can invite your baby to look for ladybugs on the grass or flowers. Additionally, place prepared visual aids in front of the baby - real photos printed on A4 sheet, pictures from books. Try to find photos of insects different colors to introduce the child to the diversity of the surrounding world.

Visiting the thumb (Put your thumbs up.)

They came straight to the house (Join the fingertips of both hands at an angle “roof.”)

Index and middle

Nameless and last.

The little finger itself is the little one (call fingers, alternately connect them with the big one, lightly massaging them, on both hands at the same time.)

He knocked on the threshold. (Clench your fists, point your little fingers up, move them.)

Together fingers are friends,

They can't live without each other.

Strong, friendly - (Rhythmically clench and unclench the fingers on both hands.)

Everyone needs them! (Children clap their hands.)

Guys, please listen to the rhyme that we will learn with you:

Ladybug can be caught

One two Three. Did not make it!

My ladybug has flown away!

Look, a ladybug flew to our lesson.

Guys, I have prepared parts for a ladybug for you. Now look, I’ll show you how to assemble the application, if you have any questions, ask. So, we can begin our work. In the meantime, while you are doing crafts, I will read you poems about the ladybug:

Look quickly, Vovka!

This is a ladybug!

Little red circle,

Lots of black dots.

Opens its wings

Flies into the sky.

Flying is easy.

All you need is skill! -

shared with cows

ladybug.

Who gave ladybugs such a name!

The little ones now know no peace,

Crumbs crawl on the leaves without rest -

Everyone is looking for the missing horns!

Simple shapes are transformed into a beautiful creation.

we need three circles: a red one and two black ones, a large one and a small one, eyes, black dots that you can draw or use ready-made ones, scissors, glue and imagination.

Black circles are glued on top of each other, and red circles are cut in half.

The body and wings are ready.

Now our grandmother isboxshould be decorated with black dots, which we counted in childhood to find out the age of the bug. Our children themselves determined the number of dots. They made them from plasticine.

That's all! Our funny little bugs "Grandmothers -boxes" ready!

Let them live in our clearing and make everyone happy!

Applications “LODYBUG” Preliminary work: looking at an illustration of a ladybug, learning a saying about a ladybug. Purpose of the lesson: To teach children to use appliqué to make a ladybug from separate parts: body, head, wings, eyes, antennae. Practice folding, attaching and gluing techniques. To instill in children a love of nature and insects. To develop accuracy, perseverance, and patience in children. Materials: Circles: 2 red circles with a diameter of 8 cm, 2 black circles with a diameter of 5 and 7 cm. Green cardboard blank for the base. Eyes, threads for antennae. Glue, black felt-tip pen. Progress of the lesson Educator: What time of year is it now? Children: Autumn Teacher: How did you guess? Children's answers Educator: How I would like it to be warm, for summer to come. Let's remember what we did in the summer? Children's answers. Educator: Guys, let's go back to the summer. Imagine that we are walking along a green meadow, listening to birds singing, the gentle sun warming us with its rays. Physical exercise: On the lawn, among the daisies. They run around the free space of the group. The beetle was flying wearing a colored shirt. -Zhu-zhu-zhu, zhu-zhu-zhu They stop and stand up straight. I'm friends with daisies. I sway quietly in the wind, bend my body left and right, bend low, low. They bend forward and down. I sat on a flower, squat, rested and flew. They run and then sit down in their places. Educator: Oh, look, it wasn’t a butterfly that flew to my flower, but some kind of insect. Listen to the riddle. If you guess, I will show you who came to us. This little one is wearing a red polka dot dress. And he can fly deftly. This... (Ladybug) The teacher shows the flower where the ladybug sits. Educator: Let's remember the saying about the ladybug. Let's put her on our palm and say: Ladybug, fly to the sky, Bring me some bread. Black and white, but not burnt. Educator: Let's all make ladybugs together and plant them on a flower. And then our group will not have a gray autumn, but a bright and warm summer. The teacher shows a picture of a ladybug. Educator: Let's take a closer look at the ladybug. What does she have. What color are the wings? What else is on the wings? What does she have on her head? Let's get to work. Glue a black circle with a diameter of 7 cm to a sheet of green cardboard. We fold a black circle with a diameter of 5 cm in half and glue it to the body. We fold two red circles with a diameter of 8 cm in half - we get wings. We glue them by the lower halves to the body. Educator: Is our ladybug ready? Children: No. Educator: What's missing? Children: Eyes, antennae, spots on the back. Educator: Then let's take the eyes and glue them on. Using a felt-tip pen, draw the paws and dots on the wings. We will make antennae from threads. The ladybug is ready. Results of the lesson: Educator: How beautiful and neat our ladybugs turned out! Well done! And even though it’s winter now, one look at our crafts will make you feel like it’s truly summer!

Applique is one of the favorite activities of kids in kindergarten. This productive type of activity is closely related to knowledge of the world around us and plays a large role in the mental education of the child. This technique is especially appropriate for classes with young children, since their activities at this time are substantive in nature. In addition, compared to other types of artistic creativity, appliqué is more conventional in nature, which is also an advantage when teaching children 2–4 years old.

What you need to consider when preparing for an appliqué lesson in the first junior group of kindergarten (2–3 years old)

Although the program does not provide applique classes for preschoolers attending the first junior group, the teacher can still carry out targeted activities to gradually master this type of visual activity by children.

So, at the initial stage, the teacher determines the level of sensory development of pupils, their ability to compare and contrast elements by shape, color, size.

The teacher offers children games based on planar mosaics. The teacher cuts out various geometric figures or silhouettes of a variety of objects and objects, fairy tale characters, etc. First, children must learn to rhythmically place identical elements over the entire surface of the base. Then it will be a more complex action - laying out the heroes of some fairy tale known to children in a certain order (in accordance with the text of the work). Another type of work is drawing up a silhouette from two or three parts. The teacher encourages children to take action by example. During such activities, colors, relationships in size and spatial arrangement are simultaneously studied.

Examples of such applicative games:

• “Help the apple find its soul mate” (children make a whole apple from parts, pressing them tightly together).
• “Flowers in a clearing”, “Paths of leaves” (children learn to rhythmically place elements of the same shape, but of different colors on the base).
• “Journey of Balls” (preschoolers place the circles in one direction, from largest to smallest).
• “Little clouds are floating across the sky” (kids learn to place irregular shapes throughout the space of the base).
• “Laying out the fairy tale “Turnip”” (kids place the characters according to the text of the fairy tale).

Over time, when the kids master these games, the teacher suggests gluing the parts onto the base. First, the teacher himself smears the elements with glue and, together with the baby, presses them to the paper (controls with his fingers).

And only later, from about the second half of the year, under the supervision of the teacher, pupils of the first junior group can move on to self-sticking.

The importance of appliqué activities for children of this age (2–3 years)

Applicative activity, with the proper guidance of the teacher and the use of age-appropriate methodological techniques, has a great influence on the comprehensive development of pupils of the first junior group.

Children learn to creatively express their impressions that they receive as a result of learning about the world around them.

In addition, this technique of working with paper provides great opportunities for the development of fantasy and imagination. The application involves a sequence of certain actions, which, in turn, develops perseverance and perseverance in children in achieving their goals.

The children develop primary research skills.

Applique classes help pupils of the first junior group remember the names of colors and understand shapes and sizes.

Thanks to laying out simple compositions, preschoolers form visual-motor connections, develop fine motor skills, and finger movements become more confident.

The experience gained in composing plot compositions from ready-made forms helps in subsequent drawing.

Note that applicative creativity also contributes to the social and communicative development of children: during classes, they willingly comment on their work and exchange remarks. Collective activity is especially effective in this regard - the guys wait for each other, provide assistance, and give way.

The application has a positive effect on the development of logical thinking: the ability to compare and contrast, and highlight the main thing. All this leads to an earlier development of analytical-synthetic processes, which, by the way, are the basis for successful learning at school. Suitable techniques: cut applique, circle applique, sensory with applique, etc.

Guys early

preschool age

do not yet work with scissors (they are offered only in the middle group). For this reason, certain techniques available to children are used in classes. This is a broken appliqué, which is similar to laying out a mosaic: the guys tear off pieces of paper and fill in the drawn outline of the object with it. After all, when working with them, unlike, for example, squares, it does not matter which side the child sticks on the figure. In any case, the image will be harmonious. The essence of this technique is that children decorate with circles the shape proposed by the teacher (patterns of dishes, clothes, toys, etc.) or put together from these shapes (of the same size) a simple object or object (beads for mom or a doll, a caterpillar, etc.).

Applique of circles of the same color and size

In toddlerhood, sensory development is always decisive. Therefore, it is worth including sensory skills with applications in the activities of children of the first junior group. This is work with ready-made planar forms, developing the fine muscles of the fingers, as well as the eye. For example, the teacher glues red, yellow, blue and green threads onto the base, and the child must match them with paper air balloons of the same color, place and glue strictly above the thread (at first the teacher glues it).

Another option is “Pick a lid for the teapot”: the child is offered several paper lids of different colors and sizes, he must select and glue the desired lid to the teapot. A variation of this building is “Car and Wheels”, “Put on half a piece of paper”, etc.

Another interesting task on applicative sensory skills is “Feed the kittens” (team work): on a large basis, the teacher glues the silhouette of a bowl, the children are offered silhouettes of kittens. You need to glue the pets so that their faces touch the bowl.

In the future, the work becomes more complicated - children completely lay out the simplest objects from parts - ladders, turrets, pyramids.

The materials used, including for the base, the optimal size of the parts, the possibility of children participating in their production

For applicative activities in the first junior group, white and colored paper is used. Thin cardboard or album sheets are usually used as a base. The teacher cuts out the parts from thin paper (but at the same time quite durable), the best option is glossy: its bright colors and pleasant texture will arouse additional interest in productive activities in children.

Note that geometric shapes must be the same size so that preschoolers can create a harmonious pattern from them (for example, the side of a square corresponds in length to the side of a triangle).

As for the size of the parts, it is unacceptable that they are too small, since children two to three years old have not yet developed enough fine motor skills for such work.

If the appliqué activity involves the use of cutting techniques, then the parts are made by the children themselves. For these purposes, it is best to use napkins or thin matte paper.

The teacher can also offer children cut out silhouettes of various objects and objects of living nature. At the same time, the templates must be expressive and clear. That is, kids should have no doubt who is in front of them - a duckling or a chicken, an apple or an orange.

The child complements the image of the animal’s face with a mustache

The relevance of an individual approach in appliqué classes with children of the first junior group. Variants of practical tasks with the same material

When kindergarten students are just beginning to master applicative activities, the teacher works with subgroups of children (several people in each), then the lesson is conducted entirely with the group. Also, in order to add variety to productive activities, thereby maintaining children’s interest in it, students should periodically be encouraged to create collective compositions.

When carrying out work, the teacher must take into account the differences in the development of children. Therefore, during the lesson an individual approach must be used. Children may differ slightly from each other in age; in the first younger group, sometimes a difference of several months makes a difference. In addition, some children rarely attend preschool and, accordingly, do not master the program in a timely manner. However, with regard to the division of preschoolers into subgroups, it should be done not according to age, but according to another parameter - the level of development of the students.

Note that, although individual activity gives a high educational and developmental effect, it does not give the child experience joint action. The advantages of frontal training are that children develop endurance, perseverance, and the ability to listen to others.

Note that within the framework of an individual approach, the teacher can use variable tasks with the same operational material.

So, some children should be offered mugs of the same color for appliqué. Stronger preschoolers can first sort by color - the teacher asks them, for example, to select only green shapes from the total mass, and then decorate the template with them.

Methodology for conducting a lesson on application in the first junior group

Appliqué classes in the first junior group, like any other class directly educational activities in a preschool educational institution, has its own structure: this is the theoretical part of the lesson, which brings preschoolers to the creative process, their independent productive work and summing up.

Let us note that at this age, the teacher does not yet analyze the finished work with the children: he does not point out to the children possible shortcomings (after all, they are often due to the fact that the children, due to their development, do not yet have the necessary skills). The lesson ends exclusively on a positive note - the teacher praises all the students, admires their successes, which in turn stimulates the children to further creativity.

Organization of the theoretical part of the lesson

It is recommended to conduct any activity in a preschool institution in an entertaining way, however, in relation to a nursery group, the game moment is decisive. To keep the kids’ attention, the teacher must organize a surprise moment at the beginning of the lesson.

For example, if children are asked to work collectively on making a baby book (gluing silhouettes of toys and animals onto blank pages), then the postman brings a package to the group, in which the children find materials for appliqué. An option could be a fairytale chest with the same contents or some character well known to children. After this, the teacher and the children review the material for the lesson: the purpose of the brush and glue, oilcloth and rag is clarified.

Another interesting solution for theoretical preparation for productive activities (application on the theme “Pyramid”) - a toy Bear comes to the group, he whispers in the teacher’s ear that he would like to play with the pyramid. The teacher shows the bear and the children a toy, the color and size of the parts are discussed, the pyramid is assembled and disassembled several times, and the kids must try to do it themselves.

Another option for exciting motivation (the activity “Decorating a Rattle”) - the teacher tells the children that the bunnies have built a house for themselves (a picture or a toy house is shown). It is very cozy and warm, but the animals cry and cannot calm down because they do not have rattles.

If the theme of the application is “Decorating a Mitten,” then the teacher draws the children’s attention to the doll sitting by the window. She looks outside - it’s cold there, so all the people are dressed warmly. The teacher shows the children mittens. It would be appropriate to read N. Sakonskaya’s poem “Where is my finger?”:

Masha put on her mitten.
- Oh, where am I going?
There is no finger, it’s gone,
I didn’t get to my little house!
Masha took off her mitten.
- Look, I found it!
You search, you search and you will find.
Hello, little finger!
How are you?

You can also play an outdoor game to the music “Pass the Mitten” (the child on whom the music stops goes into the middle of the circle and dances).

During a lesson on the topic “Rug for a kitten,” the teacher offers the kids a riddle game (they perform actions according to the text and at the same time guess who they are talking about):

• Who's there little one lives, (shrug)
  Early in the morning he gets up (stretch)
  He drinks milk from a saucer, (“lap” milk from his palm)
  Likes to wag his tail (show his tail with his hand)
  Wash with your paw. (wash)
  Who is this?

Then the sad kitten Murzik appears - it turns out that it’s his birthday, but no one gives him gifts, and he would really like to have a beautiful rug to sleep on.

Aspects of preparation for appliqué classes in the second junior group of kindergarten (3–4 years), increasing the complexity of tasks

In the second younger group, children also work with ready-made forms that the teacher offers them. However, at this age, preschoolers are already able to create more complex silhouettes, for example, consisting of circles of different sizes (snowman, tumbler), more details (rocket, birds, animals).

Decorative activities are becoming more complicated: ready-made silhouettes are already decorated with various shapes (circles, squares, triangles, stripes).

Please note that it is best to distribute ready-made application forms to preschoolers after explaining the task. Glue is offered to the children after they have arranged the elements in the required sequence. The teacher must check the composition, since children’s spatial thinking is still developing, and children are not very good at orienting themselves on a sheet of paper (for example, gluing in the center of the base is difficult for them).

New techniques (application games) and materials. The relevance of combined and non-traditional techniques at this age Changes in the permissible dimensions of parts, the possibility of children participating in their manufacture

In the second junior group, the range of techniques used in appliqué classes is expanded. The cut-out appliqué is still relevant and belongs to non-traditional methods of depiction. However, compared to the nursery group, it becomes more complex: they use different colors paper with which a specific design is laid out.

The craft is made using the cutting technique

Similar to the broken mosaic appliqué technique. Only here the details are the same correct form(circles, squares, triangles) the teacher offers the children.

Mosaic application is a suitable way to convey natural phenomena

Children are offered sand application (as an option, semolina or small sawdust is used). The teacher (kids can sometimes help him) draws shapes of the desired shape with a glue stick, and preschoolers sprinkle them with sand. The excess is shaken off the base. The result is an interesting applique image, which is complemented by paper details.

Sand applique - an original way of depicting

An applique made from crumpled paper is also popular in the second younger group (let us remember that kids could get acquainted with it back in the nursery group - “Rain”). The advantage of this unconventional technique is that it allows you to get a three-dimensional image that children like so much.

For example, in this way you can decorate the breast of a bullfinch or titmouse, or make bright fluffy balls for playful kittens.

Crumpled paper makes a voluminous bird breast

Kids love the voluminous crumpled applique In addition, different techniques can be successfully combined in one job.

For example, an image is created from ordinary parts and broken elements cut out by the teacher.

The work organically combines cutting and traditional techniques For example, children are already invited not only to select the other half of an object or item, but to symmetrically add details to a more complex multi-colored image (for example, a butterfly or a flower in a pot). Games for the development of decorative skills are also becoming more complex: silhouettes are decorated with more intricate patterns based on a combination of figures of different shapes and colors.

In accordance with the variety of techniques, children of the second younger group are offered more extensive material to work with. So, the basis is now not only sheets of paper or cardboard, but also various forms. This could be, for example, a leaf of a tree made of green cardboard, onto which you need to stick a bug or a caterpillar. As a basis for

It can also be very interesting for children to combine applique and modeling, as well as applique and drawing, in a composition. So, for example, you can draw antennae and paws on a glued-on ladybug with a black felt-tip pen. And the points on its back can be designed in the form of plasticine balls. You can also sculpt eyes for many animals and birds from plasticine.

As a basis, the teacher can offer preschoolers the most unexpected objects, for example, computer disks.

The teacher sticks a heart-shaped picture in the middle of them, and the children must paste it over the lumps of napkins.

The craft is made on a non-standard basis - a computer disk

Cotton pads can also be used as a material for appliqué (this is how you can depict a snowman in an original way). Animal crafts made from cotton wool are also popular: it is glued along the outline of the animal, resulting in an interesting three-dimensional image. This way you can beautifully depict a white kitten, a bunny in a winter coat, a sheep, or a polar bear. Note that this image is usually complemented by paper or plasticine eyes and a black nose.

Cotton wool applique is ideal for depicting some animals Note that the material offered to younger preschoolers can be so vivid that it will distract attention from the teacher’s explanation. Therefore, it is recommended to distribute it to kids before directly productive activities.

Each child is offered an individual bag (plate).

As for the size of the initial details, in the second younger group children can already complement the main image with smaller elements (eyes, nose of an animal or bird), since their fine motor skills are already more developed compared to children in the nursery group.

The appliqué lesson in the second junior group has a traditional structure and consists of a practical and theoretical part.

The lesson usually begins with a surprise moment, followed by an examination of the subject of the image. This will revive preschoolers’ ideas about the features of the proposed form. The teacher clearly tells the kids the color of the object, traces its outline with his fingers, highlighting its features. Thus, visual analysis is complemented by tactile analysis. Moreover, it is important that children also touch the subject of the image.

The teacher also shows samples of applications that he prepares in advance. Note that the sample clearly indicates the shape of the object, but details can be omitted.

Also an obligatory part of the lesson is a visual demonstration of the techniques for placing parts and gluing. The demonstration of the most complex techniques is present until preschoolers have mastered them good level. Note that the teacher comments on each of his actions in words.

Before the actual productive activity, the teacher always conducts a physical education session or finger exercises related to the topic of the lesson.

Independent activity of preschoolers begins with laying out the elements on the base. The teacher checks the correct placement of all students.

Let us note that the methodology for conducting applicative lessons in the second younger group involves the use of various forms of individual approach: one child needs help in composing an image, another in gluing, etc. But when paying attention to one student, the teacher should always see the whole group as a whole: assess the pace of the children’s work, take into account who else needs help.

Organization of the theoretical part of the lesson. Methods for conducting self-analysis on finished work

Since it is difficult for children of early preschool age to concentrate on any one activity for a long time, the teacher should try to captivate them as much as possible with the application. To do this, kids must have a motive for the creative process.

Note that in the second younger group the teacher thinks through more complex motivation. Let's give specific example. The lesson begins with sad music from the cartoon “Masha and the Bear”. A toy Bear appears. The children, with the help of the teacher, notice that his girlfriend Masha is missing. It turns out that she got sick because she ate a lot of candy, cakes, chips, and drank Coca-Cola. A mini-conversation is held with children on the topic of unhealthy and healthy foods. And quietly the teacher leads them to the topic of the lesson - applications on the topic “Vegetables” or “Fruits”.

Thus, the theoretical part of the visual arts lesson should give the kids some kind of cognitive information.

This can also be preliminary work on speech development: the teacher borrows motivation from a fairy tale or a short poem. Applique work at this age already includes analysis of children's crafts.

After finishing the work, the teacher invites the kids to look at all the works together and admire them. The children's attention is directed to visual characteristics: beautiful colors, expressiveness of images. For example, when examining tumblers, the teacher suggests showing the cheerful ones, the sad ones, the most beautiful ones, and the broken ones. That is, preschoolers learn to notice unsuccessful moments.

From the second half of the year, the teacher clearly points out to children mistakes, for example, incorrect alternation of parts by color or size. The quality of the gluing is also assessed: “clean”, “neat” or, conversely, “sloppy”. Gradually, preschoolers themselves are involved in such an analysis: they must understand what to do in the future in order to avoid mistakes.

Variants of practical tasks with the same material for children 3–4 years old

Please note that within the framework of an individual approach, the teacher offers pupils of the second junior group various options for practical tasks with the same material.

Class notes

The topics of classes in the second junior group should be understandable and accessible to children.
