Crafts for Easter
The bright holiday of Easter falls in spring. The traditional symbols of Easter are Easter cakes and decorated eggs, but recently the Easter bunny has been added to them from the Western tradition of celebrating Easter. You can combine these two traditions and make a bunny with an Easter egg-shaped body, which would be a great spring craft for the garden.

Prepare two small balloons, one larger in the shape of an egg, the second round, half the size. Take paper towels or napkins, tear them into pieces 2x2 cm. Glue the first layer of pieces of napkins onto water without glue, the next layers onto PVA.
It is necessary to stick 8-10 layers, each layer must be uniform and without holes. There is no need to use a lot of glue, because the product will “float”. We completely dry our product and check that it holds its shape, then cut a hole and remove the burst ball. If the product does not hold its shape, then make 5 more layers and dry again.
We paint the egg-shaped ball with traditional Easter motifs. We paint the round ball white, glue on the ears and draw a muzzle. Cut off a circle from the top of a large ball and insert a small ball, so that you get a body with a head. Cut out the legs and glue them to the body. The head can be glued, or you can leave it like that, then it will be a box for Easter sweets.
Choosing a color scheme for crafts
When looking for creative ideas for DIY spring-themed crafts, it's important to keep the spring color scheme in mind. The main colors are the color of fresh greenery and the first flowers.
The first leaves do not have a very rich color; as a rule, they are soft green. And the first flowers are either white, like snowdrops, or pastel, like primroses. As summer approaches, natural colors become more saturated, green becomes brighter, and flowers amaze with the variety and richness of their colors.
Crafts for May 9
In the last month of spring, Victory Day in the Second World War is celebrated. In honor of this holiday, you can make a brooch from a bouquet of carnations with a St. George ribbon.
We cut out a strip of 30 cm and 3 cm wide from red corrugated paper. We make teeth along one edge. Apply glue 1 cm wide to the strip along the edge without teeth and wrap it around the tip of the skewer with a roll.
Then we cut out a 1x30 cm strip of green corrugated paper, grease it with glue and begin to wind it first like a sepal, gradually going down the stem. We tie a bouquet of three carnations with St. George's ribbon, and sew a pin at the back.
Fluttering butterflies
In spring the sun warms up. And now the first butterflies fly between the blooming flowers. They can decorate any spring applique. Set a simple task for the kids: stick ready-made silhouettes of beauties onto the base. You can also make a large butterfly and invite the baby to decorate its wings with a beautiful pattern of geometric shapes, pompoms, buttons, and beads.
With older children, make a voluminous applique. To do this, you will need multi-colored blanks with silhouettes of butterflies of different sizes. Large parts are glued onto the base first. Above are medium silhouettes. Moreover, their edges are not smeared with glue and are slightly bent upward. We do the same with the smallest pieces. The result is a bright butterfly that seems to flutter across a cardboard sheet.
Spring applications for children can cheer up the whole family. They can decorate the walls of a child's room or be used as a gift for close relatives. Engage in creative work together, because spring is a time of awakening and inspiration.
Spring crafts: paper flowers
The first to appear in the garden are snowdrops, crocuses, lilies of the valley, and daffodils; tulips bloom in greenhouses. Spring-themed crafts are dedicated to these flowers. Most of the crafts are tulips. There are several options for crafts: flat tulip, volumetric, origami, from a sleeve.
The stem is made in the form of a paper tube; its upper edge is cut and folded back - these are the petals. Multi-colored buds are attached to the petals with glue, and the stem is tied with a ribbon. Not just one tulip looks good, but several - a whole bouquet.
A more complex craft is a voluminous flower. To do this, a square sheet of colored paper is folded in half twice and diagonally. Cut on four sides with scissors. The cut sides are folded over and glued together overlapping.
The stem is rolled out of paper, the top edge is cut several times and bent outward, and a bud is glued to it. They are making several multi-colored tulips. At the exhibition, photos are taken of spring crafts and their little authors.
Signs of spring
Summary of nodes for the application in the second junior group “spring has come, the willow has bloomed”
When starting work, choose a plot that is understandable to the child. Most often, the emphasis is on blossoming nature. Take a light base. Glue dark brown soil onto it. These could be hillocks. Plant trees on them. Winding trunks can be drawn, cut out of paper, or replaced with real twigs collected during walks.
Make melting snow from cotton pads. Usually it lies longer under trees, as well as in the shade of hills. At the same time, the first grass may already sprout on the ground. Decorate the trees with green leaves or delicate flowers made from crumpled napkins. The final touch of the spring application will be the bright sun laughing in the sky.
Progress of the lesson
There's a knock on the door. The teacher opens it. Cheburashka comes and brings cards with pictures of flowers.
Cheburashka: “Guys, I found out that your kindergarten has started preparing for a holiday for mothers and grandmothers. I was in a hurry to see you because I wanted to bring flowers to decorate the hall. But, unfortunately, I was not able to find a single flower. But I’m not discouraged, because my friend Gena gave me cards with pictures of flowers, which I brought especially for you guys.”
The teacher takes cards from Cheburashka and tells a little about garden flowers.
Educator: “Garden flowers are plants with beautiful flowers that are traditionally grown in gardens.
Poppy is a perennial plant with round flowers in red, pink, yellow, white and more. I think that each of you has tried buns with poppy seeds, because poppy seeds are also a spice. Oil is made from poppy seeds, which is used to season salads and add it to baked goods.
Chamomile is a beautiful and delicate plant. Its flowers are in the form of baskets and have a yellow core, and the petals can be of different colors, depending on the plant variety.
Rose is a plant with fragrant flowers that have different colors. Rose petals are used to make rose oil, which is added to creams, perfumes and other cosmetics. The fruit of the rose is rose hips, from which compotes and other healthy drinks are made.
A tulip is an incredibly beautiful flower that can be compared to a ruffled bird. There are a huge number of varieties of this plant. Oil is obtained from tulip petals, and in some countries the flowers of this plant are even eaten.
Guys, all garden flowers cut for bouquets cannot last long in vases. They are withering."
Today I suggest you make bouquets that will not wither.
So that our flowers grow in storms and bad weather,
We decided to make them out of paper,
And in pink pots
Give to your beloved mother!
The teacher distributes baskets with necessary materials to preschoolers.
1. Our plants consist of stems of leaves and flowers. Let's take the background for the appliqué, place it vertically and glue on the stems of the plant, not forgetting to leave room at the bottom for the pot.
2. Glue on the pot and leaves.
3. Take flower silhouettes
Please note that silhouettes vary in size. Try to arrange them from large to small
Managed? If not everyone succeeded, then on the back of each flower there are numbers from 1 to 3 and from 1 to 4, this is a hint for sorting the flowers in ascending order.
4. We start collecting the flower from the largest silhouette, then smaller ones, medium and small. Then glue the core of the flower (beads for scrapbooking)
.
5. Attach the flowers to the stems. If desired, attach a congratulatory inscription.
Applications are ready. Guys, I’m glad that today you learned a little about garden flowers and made a gift for your beloved mothers.
Creating with mom
The minutes when the whole family draws, glues or collects crafts from twigs together remain in the children’s memory for a long time. They really enjoy making spring appliqués from paper. Circles, squares and other incomprehensible details suddenly turn into bright flowers, clear streams, and singing birds. At the same time, the child’s creative abilities actively develop.
Children learn to work with scissors and glue, improve fine motor skills, so necessary for learning at school, and quietly repeat geometric shapes. Children learn to navigate in space (right - left, up - down, far - close, on - under, etc.). The signs of spring are well remembered: melting snow, raindrops, returning birds and primroses. By creating a beautiful work with their image, the child expands his ideas about this wonderful time of year.
