Applique "Snowdrop" in a kindergarten of paper and napkins

The period of early childhood is the most favorable for the development of all kinds of inclinations and abilities. And nothing so well develops the child's creative thinking, like making all kinds of handicrafts with his own hands. It can be coloring, working with plasticine, drawing, making various products from improvised materials, such as flowers from feathers, origami or applique. There are also crafts that combine different materials and types of work. For example, applications with origami or drawing elements. However, it is important to give enough attention to the choice of the subject for children's creativity, since good work is possible only if the child is interested. So, all children are delighted with the first spring flowers, so the appliqué "Snowdrop" will surely interest them. Especially if the kindergarten teacher brings them some colorful pictures on which these flowers are depicted, and tells about the peculiarities of their growing, an interesting fairy tale, a legend or puzzles riddles related to them.

Preparation of materials

Application "Snowdrop" in kindergarten, like any other creativity, must begin with the preparation of materials. It is necessary for a day, and it is better for a few, before the production of this craft is planned, to ask the kids to bring the following tools and materials: scissors, glue, colored paper, standard white sheets and cardboard. Children's attention is important to ensure that scissors are comfortable for them in work - not too big and not too small. As for glue, it is most convenient for babies to work with a "pencil", and for this activity it will be quite enough.

If it is planned that the applique "Snowdrop" should turn out to be more original, then additional items may be needed. Among them are white paper napkins, colored pencils, markers or paints, cotton wool, oilcloth, stapler, and also corrugated paper.

Snowdrops made of paper: making flowers and stems

As far as the application is concerned, first of all it is necessary to choose the basis to which all elements will be attached. This will require cardboard blue or blue. It is to it in turn, stems, leaves and flowers of the snowdrop, as well as snow and clouds, will be stuck.

Applique "Snowdrops" of paper begins with the manufacture of stems, which must be cut from the green paper and glued to the base. Then from a white paper it is necessary to cut a square in the size 5х5 sm and to combine it on a diagonal. A triangle will be obtained, which must be cut with two scissors in height in two. As a result, there will be three petals - a large one and two small ones. Each of them must be rounded. Next to the stem should be glued two small petals so that the corners were together, and the rounded sides at some distance from each other, and on top you need to paste the third. It is worth noting that the fixing of the details is only necessary for the upper corner, then the applique "Snowdrop" will look bulky.

Making sepals and leaves

Now the sepals, because only with it the application "Snowdrop" will look realistic. To make it, you need to cut out a square paper with a side of 1.5 cm from the green paper, fold it diagonally and cut out a triangular groove on one of the open sides of the resulting shape. The resulting part should be glued in place of the flower's connection with the stem.

Remained the leaves. It is necessary to cut out of green paper three strips in length of 10-12 cm and a width of 1-1.5 cm, which should be sharpened on one side. Finished leaves are glued to the bottom of the stem. Applique "Snowdrops" made of paper will be more original if the top of the leaves is slightly twisted with the sharp side of the scissors and paste them only at the bottom.

At the final stage it is necessary to make snow. To do this, take two rectangles, 5x10 cm in size, cut from white and blue paper. Folding them together, use scissors to give the upper edge a ripple. Then paste a blue part on the base, covering the stem a little, and 1-2 cm below it - white.

Snowdrops made of napkins and paper

On the back of the green colored paper with a simple pencil, you need to draw the leaves and stems and cut them out along the contour. It is from this step that the application "Snowdrops" from napkins and paper should begin. Then you can go to the leaves. To do this, fold the white napkin four times, cut it into flat squares and, holding them all together, use the scissors to shape the petals that are attached to each other using a stapler in the lower part. Then it is necessary to fold the bottom edges so that the bracket is not visible, and the upper edges are expanded in the form of a fan, giving the flower the shape of the snowdrop. Instead of napkins, white corrugated paper can also be used.

When all the elements of the application are ready, they will only be left on the blue or blue cardboard. The composition can consist of either a single flower or several. To get a more realistic picture, you can cut out trees and bushes from gray or black paper and paste them in the background, and attach a rectangle of white paper to the bottom of the base, which will mimic the lying snow.

Applique made of paper with origami elements

No less interesting for children can be the application "Snowdrops" made of paper with elements of origami. Do not be afraid of this technique, since the folding of the first spring flower in it is quite simple. To make a snowdrop, you need to take a square sheet of white paper about 10x10 cm in size, which you need to fold along the diagonal, and then bend the top of the resulting triangle back. Then turn the side sides in turn down. This will be the flower, without which the "Snowdrop" appliqué is unthinkable in the kindergarten.

Further from green paper according to the scheme described above it is necessary to cut out leaves, stems and sepals. Then glue all the details to the base, which is best to choose blue cardboard. It is also worth noting that the flowers should be glued to the outside with the bent triangles.

Snowdrops in the basket

When your children are familiar with all variations of making snowdrops, you can invite them to supplement their application with a basket. To do this, the base must first be glued many colors with leaves and stems, and on top of them - a basket, previously cut out of brown cardboard. To get the effect of volume, the handle can not be glued.

The application "Snowdrops in the basket" can also be made as follows: cut out a basket of brown cardboard with a pen, draw a black or gray felt-tip pen on it with large cells, and then make cuts on some lines in which to insert flowers. In order to avoid falling snowdrops, you can cut another template of the same color and paste it on the back of the product.
