Application made from colored paper shapes. Pictures of animals from geometric shapes

Explanatory note.

Below is the annual planning of OOD on the topic: "Application based on geometric shapes". The age of pupils with whom you can engage in this type of artistic activity is from 2 to 3 years (first junior group DOW). This development meets the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard. This work aims to make the concept of geometric shapes more accessible to children, to translate an abstract concept into concrete and visual details that can be seen, picked up and manipulated in various ways, because children of this age have objective-active thinking. Planning is convenient to use when drawing up annual thematic planning OOD in all educational areas, as it resonates with the seasons and major public holidays.

The Federal State Educational Standard offers children this age group get to know the 4 basic geometric shapes: square, triangle, circle, rectangle. The closest and most understandable for the guys is the circle, because you can pick up many objects from the surrounding world that can give kids an idea of a circle (“round, like the sun, like a wheel, like a watermelon, like a ball,” etc.). For greater clarity and easier perception of the geometric figure “square”, the first 3 applications are preceded by the construction of a pyramid, a ladder and a double ladder from cubes. Thus, children begin to associate the concept of “square” with the concept of “cube”. In a similar way, we connect the concept of “rectangle” with the concept of “brick” (in the wooden construction set - a rectangular parallelepiped), and the concept of “triangle” - with the “roof” (in the wooden construction set - a triangular prism).

The details for the application are prepared by the teacher, using 4 primary colors: red, blue, yellow, green, sometimes adding white, brown, orange. Cardboard is used for parts and the base sheet (mainly for the base - white, with the exception of the applique “Snowflake”, “Snowman”, “Boat”, “Rocket”), a glue stick is used as an adhesive ( better than the manufacturer Eric Krause). In parallel with getting acquainted with geometric shapes, there is a process of getting acquainted with glue and its properties, step by step the skills of working on making appliqué are improved.

During the first lessons, the contours of the geometric shapes that make up the appliqué should be outlined on a base sheet, and the children should be asked to lay out this image without using glue. And only when all students have completed this task, do they individually begin to use glue, explaining that it is applied only to the back side of the parts (on the “gray, ugly side”). Pupils are drawn to different methods of applying glue: small parts are placed on top of a glue stick, held with the left hand, and with the index finger of the right hand, in a circular motion, the glue is applied to the placed part, then remove it from the glue tube using the thumb and index finger of the right hand. and placed on the base in the right place. Large parts are held with the index finger of the left hand on the table (on a backing sheet), and the glue is applied with a pressing motion, holding the tube in right hand. Children should be constantly reminded that glue is applied only to the parts and not to the base sheet.

When consolidating the material covered, it is useful in the OOD process to use pyramids based on geometric shapes, lotto with cards on which you need to put plastic shapes desired color and shapes. For the same purpose, it is also appropriate to use a flannelgraph (large wall-mounted or small individual ones), where children can lay out a square, triangle, rectangle, house and other simple images from a soft strip constructor.

By monitoring to determine the level sensory development pupils, you can give two types of tasks: “Show me... (for example, a small red circle)” and “What is the name of this figure? What color is it? What size is it?” The first option is convenient to use when working with children diagnosed with mental retardation.

This type of artistic activity is often integrated with drawing, design, mathematics, and the surrounding world (social and natural).

At the last lesson, you can give the students geometric shapes of different colors and sizes and invite them to make an applique of their own choosing.

Alena Turyeva

Dear teachers and parents, I suggest you applique of geometric shapes which can be done with children. Applications will help your child develop his eye, teach him to combine colors, help him learn geometric figures and develop imagination.

Paper applique of geometric shapes is a mandatory activity in kindergartens, since it is especially relevant for children aged three to five years. During the lesson, children are given several different geometric shapes and offer to put some object out of them or action figure. For older children who already know how to use scissors, you can offer them that are not cut out of paper. figures, but drawn ones, which the child will first have to cut out and then use for appliqués. This activity is in many ways reminiscent of putting together puzzles, which almost all children love so much. I applied it in the summer when my kids were 2-3 years old (first junior group).

Master class on application of geometric shapes "Turtle". Turtles are mysterious mammals that can live more than 100 years.

To get acquainted with colors and shapes, as well as to develop thinking and imagination, you can create appliqués from geometric material with children. These activities are good not only because they allow children to develop and explore the world, but also because the materials themselves are accessible. In this article we will tell you how to do various applications from geometric shapes.

Applique: house made of geometric shapes

"House". Application for the little ones

Applications for young children should be as simple as possible and consist of a small number of parts.

To create a children's applique in the form of a house made of geometric shapes, we will need:

templates for cutting out shapes;
cardboard with the final picture printed on it;
colored paper;
glue;
scissors;
brush.

Application “Big House”

After the child has mastered simple applications, you can move on to complex ones. To make it easier for your child to create large applications on their own at first, you need to print ready-made templates on thick paper.

Templates usually consist of two parts. On one there is an outline of the drawing, and on the second there are the geometric shapes themselves that need to be glued along the contours.

Applique: car made of geometric shapes

Boys are very interested in cars made of geometric shapes. The figures themselves for creating appliqués are cut out by older children on their own, but young children need to be given already cut out blanks.

Applique: animals from geometric shapes

Making animal appliqués from geometric shapes is no less exciting, but small children will need the help of adults, since they consist of a large number of parts. The principle of application is the same as in previous master classes.

Applique: chicken made of geometric shapes

You can not only glue applications, but also play with this process. In order to play a fun game for kids we will need:

colored cardboard;
scissors;
felt-tip pens or paints;
glue;
brush.

On a sheet of white cardboard we draw the main outlines: the sun, hen and chickens, and also draw the grass and clouds.
From cardboard of the corresponding colors to the cutouts there is a chicken, a sun and four yellow circles that will become chickens.

We lay out a sheet of cardboard with drawn contours and details on the table and begin the presentation for the child:

“The chicken went out for a walk, to nibble some fresh grass,

And behind her are the kids - yellow chickens.

The sun walked across the sky and ran behind a cloud

(roll the sun across the picture and remove it).

It's dark, don't go outside the gate:

Whoever got on the street got lost and disappeared

(remove the chicken figures).

The hen looked around, but there were no chicks in sight.

The chicken began to call the sun

“Come out, honey, quickly! I feel sad without the sun -

And there are no chickens in sight!”

The child is asked to “find the chickens” by gluing them to cardboard.

About the importance of development fine motor skills a lot has already been said about the child. It is for this purpose that children are asked to sculpt from plasticine, sand, string rings onto a pyramid, and make crafts from natural materials: leaves, chestnuts, pine cones, acorns, etc. However, there is another equally interesting and useful activity for children - an application of geometric shapes, during the work on which the child will not only develop precise finger movements, but will also become familiar with geometric shapes and their names.

Preparing the workplace and materials

To make an applique, as, in fact, for many other types of activities, the child needs to prepare a comfortable place - a table and a chair that correspond to his height. In addition, it is important that the work surface is well lit. Special attention It is also necessary to pay attention to the materials themselves, with the help of which the child will make a paper applique. Geometric shapes, a simple pencil, a ruler, glue, scissors, cardboard, standard sheets and a set of colored paper - this is the main list of tools and materials needed for exciting creativity.

Geometric shapes can be bought at a stationery store in the form of plastic templates, or you can draw them on cardboard, cut them out and give them to your child. If the child is already a little older, you can teach him to draw the figures necessary for the appliqué on his own, using a pencil, ruler and compass. In addition, there are wide rulers with many different geometric shapes in small sizes.

The simplest applications of geometric shapes

At first, until the child learns to see geometric shapes around him, an adult will need to be next to him and help him distinguish them, and then, thanks to the baby’s imagination, each of his new applications of geometric shapes will be more and more interesting.

One of the most simple crafts is a small house. To make it you need rectangles, squares and triangles. All these figures can be seen quite easily if you look at an ordinary house, so it will not be difficult for a child to make what he saw in reality out of paper. A drawing by an adult, depicting a house, can help a child in this situation. At the beginning of work, you should not use complex shapes such as trapezoids or hexagons - everything should be as simple as possible.

From the basic elements, over time, the child will be able to learn to make complex compositions, for example, “Summer Meadow” or “Winter Day”.

Flowers made from geometric shapes

Looking at flowers with a disinterested eye, it is impossible to visually isolate strict elements. However, if you show a little imagination, it turns out that it is quite possible to make an applique of geometric shapes in the form of a flower. The simplest composition can be chamomile. To understand what shapes a daisy consists of, just remember any children's drawing. Each petal has the shape of an oval, although very elongated.

So, to make such a flower you will need one circle - this will be the middle of the flower, and seven narrowed ovals - the petals. For greater realism, the ovals can be glued to the back side of the core, and the flower can be attached to the cardboard only in the center - then the petals will be raised, like those of a real flower. You can use a narrow and long green rectangle as a stem, and the leaves can be made from the same ovals as the petals. The flower can be planted in the ground using a wide rectangle of black or green color, or it can be planted in a pot, which can be a trapezoid turned upside down.

How to make a little animal from simple shapes

Animals made from geometric shapes are no less interesting. The applique can be made of colored or white elements. However, it is worth keeping in mind that in the first case the craft looks more realistic. Although if you plan to make an applique in the shape of a bunny, then white paper is perfect. True, then it is better that the cardboard to which all parts of the animal’s body will be glued is colored.

By the way, to make a sitting hare you only need circles of different diameters, as well as half circles and two triangles. You can use a large circle as the body of the bunny, the heads - the same figure of a smaller diameter, the front (upper) legs - small circles, and the back (lower) legs - half of a large circle. For the ears you will also need half a circle, and for the nose and tail - two small circles. You can make eyes from triangles, and you can also give the bunny a carrot in his paws - a triangle orange color. If you show a little patience, then soon a variety of animals from geometric shapes will come to life under children's hands. Application will become your baby's favorite pastime.

Vehicles made from geometric shapes

Boys will also want to make some applique out of geometric shapes. And since they love to play with various cars, buses, ships and others vehicles, then, most likely, they will prefer to make their creation in the form of these objects. If you look closely at any type of transport, you can see clear lines characteristic of geometric shapes.

So, for example, to make a train you will need circles of different diameters, half circles, rectangles and triangles. It is worth noting that the locomotive and carriages can be made from both rectangles and triangles - it all depends on the wishes of the child. As for the wheels, the baby, watching the train, will be able to see their clear round shape, and when making an application he will use exactly this geometric figure, in any case if he wants to get a realistic picture. If children like bright objects, then they should try a combination of different colors and shapes, which will make the applique of geometric shapes more interesting.

Application on the theme “Summer”

The application can be presented not only separate elements, but also in the form of a whole composition. On one sheet of paper you can depict summer using various creatures and natural phenomena made from ovals, circles, rectangles. So, wanting to convey the beauty of summer, a child can use the knowledge that he received when he was just getting acquainted with such a concept as appliqué from geometric shapes. He may still have the patterns, but if not, then most likely he will need the help of an adult.

In order to create an application on the theme “Summer”, the child will need to imagine a summer meadow, park or river bank. Children's imagination is very well developed, so at this stage there should be no problems. Mandatory attributes of summer are flowers, green grass, sun and butterflies - and all this can be made from geometric shapes.

Application on the theme “Winter”

No less favorite time of year for children is winter: sledding downhill, snowball fights, and, of course, building a snowman. So why not transport yourself to a winter day and recreate it on paper by making a snowman applique. Moreover, this figure is very easy to make. All you need are three circles of different diameters cut out of white paper, two smaller circles for the hands, an orange triangle for the nose, two brown or gray rectangles for the hat and small black circles for the buttons, eyes and mouth.

You can place a Christmas tree next to the snowman - then the applique of geometric shapes will be presented in the form of a whole composition. To make a Christmas tree you will need to cut out three triangles from green paper. different sizes and one narrow rectangle of brown paper. First, you need to glue a brown rectangle at the bottom of the sheet, replacing the trunk, then slightly overlapping it, glue the largest triangle, placing it with its base down, at its top place the middle one, and even higher - the smallest one. The tree is ready!

Application of a man from geometric shapes

Not only animals, plants and various objects can be assembled from the simplest elements. An applique of a person made from geometric shapes can be no less successful. Of course, such a person will look quite sketchy, but nothing more is required from the application.

So, as a human body you can use a rectangle, an oval or two triangles folded at the tops, for the head - a circle, for arms and legs - rectangles. To make the image more realistic, you can also make your fingers - narrow rectangles, and put your feet in shoes - two rectangles, folded in the form of a large English letter “L”. You can also “dress” the little man - this will not be difficult for children to do, especially for girls who are used to playing with dolls.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that a child must be taught to see the beauty and complexity of the world around him, to be able to analyze, and then he will be able to make the most various applications from geometric shapes, because from them you can create almost any image, be it an object or a creature.
