Practical benefits of selling crafts
Creative projects, which are implemented in senior and preparatory groups of kindergarten during classes or independently at home, allow children not only to acquire new skills, but also to consolidate previously acquired skills. This approach makes it possible to facilitate the adaptation period at school. During classes they develop:
- memory;
- attentiveness;
- patience;
- perseverance;
- diligence.
To achieve their goals, educators use a variety of materials in project activities. This:
- working with paper;
- natural materials;
- plasticine;
- cotton wool, plastic.
Crafts are made on different topics. Educators strive to unite the children's team, teaching them to work in teams and individually, organizing exhibitions of work done together with parents.
Volumetric applications of vegetables and fruits in the preparatory group
Every child will be interested in making a variety of fruits and vegetables out of paper, which they eat from an early age. They can be made as appliqués on paper or in volume.
How to make an apple out of paper
We will need a sheet of red double-sided paper. Fold it in half and cut it. We also fold the halves in half and draw the silhouette of half an apple with a pencil.
Glue the apple halves onto a piece of paper and create a core, stalk and leaf.
Paper handling
The last year of kindergarten is the most difficult. The tasks of educators are not only to conduct educational classes, but also to carefully prepare children for school. The classes are based on a scheme - from simple to complex.
A large field for the development of kindergarteners is provided by such material as paper. During work, the skills of drawing, drawing, and cutting out figures are learned. Teachers offer to do autumn crafts, winter patterns (snowflakes), spring applications. In this case, objects such as a pencil, scissors, eraser, and ruler are used.
During the implementation of each stage of a creative project, the child learns:
- perseverance;
- concentrating on a specific activity;
- body control.
In just a few lessons, children will master the skills of gluing, coloring and cutting. Paper crafts are so diverse and beautiful that they can be brought to life all the time. These are figures of animals and flowers made using the origami technique. Under the guidance of a teacher, you can make a unique application with elements of drawing techniques.

- January 14, 2014
Competition “My Pedagogical Initiative - 2013”
Nomination “Methodological work in preschool educational institutions”
Notes on the application for the preparatory school speech therapy group “Sheep with a lamb”
Goal: to consolidate the skills of silhouette cutting along a drawn contour using a stencil; various techniques of applique (tearing, volumetric applique) - development of a sense of color and harmony.
Tasks:
- Educational: learn to place decorative elements (lumps) in certain parts of the silhouette. Systematize children’s knowledge on the lexical topic “Domestic animals and their cubs”
- Correctional and developmental: develop spatial and figurative thinking, fine motor skills.
- Educational: cultivate love for animals.
Equipment: illustrations depicting a sheep and lamb; colored cardboard (green or blue), equal in size to ½ landscape sheet; 2 white paper napkins; sheep and lamb stencils; white or brown paper; dark pencil or felt-tip pen; scissors; PVA glue, tray, socket with a damp sponge, socket for glue, glue brush, oilcloth, cloth.
Preliminary work: repeat the topic “Domestic animals and their cubs” with the children. Ask what benefits sheep bring. Consider sheep wool products, illustrations; draw a sheep, sculpt it from plasticine.
GCD move
– Hello guys. Today I want to invite you to the barnyard, where various domestic animals live with their children. But first, I would really like us to remember together what kind of pets there are (children’s answers).
- Well done! Everyone was named. Now let's do gymnastics for our fingers and wake up our hands. I will say the words and show the movements, and please repeat after me.
Finger gymnastics “Satisfied animals”
– Well done! Our fingers are awake and ready to work. Now, please, look at the picture (illustration demonstration). Who is depicted here (children's answers)?
- Right. This is a sheep. And a baby sheep is called a lamb. Who knows what benefits sheep bring us (children’s answers)?
- Right. You're all right. Please listen to my story.
A male sheep is called a ram. It has large, spiraling horns. The female is called a sheep, she does not have horns. A baby sheep is called a lamb. If there are several cubs, these are lambs. A ewe can give birth to one to five lambs.
Sheep live in a group - a flock - and do not tolerate loneliness well. Where one sheep goes, all the others go. There is no permanent leader in the flock, so a goat is often taken out to pasture along with the sheep. He leads the flock and leads the sheep home.
The building where sheep are kept is called a shed. The sheep are fed grass and hay. Sheep tolerate heat and cold well, so they are kept on pastures almost all year round. Open-air pens are built for sheep - quiet. A person who tends a flock of sheep is called a shepherd. The shepherd is usually helped by herding dogs. They herd sheep, guide them, search for lost ones, and protect sheep from predators.
The sounds sheep make are called bleats. Sheep come in different colors: black, white, red, gray. There is a Romanov breed of sheep - they have gray wool on their body, and black wool on their head and legs.
People raise sheep mainly for their wool. Sheep are sheared 1-2 times a year, collecting up to 6 kilograms of wool from one sheep. Very warm yarn, blankets, felt boots, and mattresses are made from sheep wool. They also get meat, fat tail fat, and milk from sheep. Doctors in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome recommended drinking sheep's milk as a medicine. Sheep's milk cheese is also considered very healthy. The oldest recipe for sheep's cheese that has come down to us is 2000 years old.
– Today I would like to invite you to make an applique. What do you think is the difference between applique and drawing (children's answers)? Right. When we do appliqué, the picture is not drawn, but assembled from parts that are secured with glue. Please look at what is on your tables. Glue, napkins, colored paper, colored cardboard, glue brush. But before we start work, let's take a little rest.
Physical school
– Have you rested? Now let's do the application.
Children begin the task, the teacher monitors completion, helping children who have difficulty.
Work order
1. Prepare lumps from a white napkin in advance. The lumps should be approximately equal, with a diameter of 3-5 mm.
2. Transfer the animal stencils onto a sheet of white or brown paper, cut along the contour and place on a cardboard base.
3. Glue on the silhouettes of a sheep and a lamb.
4. Glue lumps onto the forehead and back of the animals (when gluing, dip each lump in turn into glue and glue close to each other).
5. Use a dark felt-tip pen or pencil to draw eyes and a nose.
Lesson summary

Plasticine
The joint creativity of a parent and a kindergartener has healing potential. In addition to the fact that work brings people together, it also allows you to:
- forget about problems and troubles;
- cope with a stressful situation;
- restore emotional state;
- express feelings and experiences in the project.
In addition, working with plasticine allows both adults and children to develop three-dimensional thinking. After all, you have to not only come up with an idea, but also bring it to life. It is important that the child takes an active part in the creative process. After all, working with plasticine develops:
- fingers;
- brain;
- memory;
- curiosity.
There are also combined crafts that are made from several materials in one work. These can be paper figures with plasticine elements or fairy-tale characters made from natural material and plasticine. Such works are attractive, unusual and beautiful. Thanks to them, it is possible to broaden the horizons and develop the child’s imagination.
Lessons like this allow you to teach preschoolers to think outside the box. At the same time, choose the most effective solutions in a particular situation.
The sculpting process takes time, but it is spent usefully. It is believed that this activity is fundamentally important in the process of teaching and raising preschool children. After all, during the exercise, the future student must imagine a full-fledged 3D model, feel the structure of the material and change the shape as it appears in fantasy.
Thanks to such master classes, creating crafts on a specific topic allows you to:
- develop a creative approach to solving a given problem;
- show a personal, individual attitude to a specific plasticine modeling object;
- learn to competently organize the process of working on a specific topic, for example, a picture of late autumn;
- work of such a plan teaches independence (after all, during its implementation, the future junior schoolchild determines the general task, sets goals, breaks down all the work step by step and completes the project);
- learns to adjust elements;
- Implementation of the plasticine modeling technique is an opportunity to develop fine motor skills of the hands.
Homemade plasticine crafts should be done together - parents and children. After all, such creativity is designed to calm you down and develop the skill of perseverance. If you conduct such an activity in the evening, then such a pastime will normalize sleep and reduce activity in a preschooler.
If ideas don’t come to mind or parents don’t have enough time when working together, then you can choose a work from photos - there are a lot of them on the Internet. In your search query, specify the topic. This will allow you to limit the selection from the bulk and select really interesting ideas for the project.
Crafts made from natural materials
During the school year, preschoolers learn not only about materials and their structure, but also about the world around them. Unusual, beautiful and surprising are those projects that involve natural components.
At the same time, working with such natural materials, children develop:
- fine motor skills;
- spatial thinking;
- Creative skills;
- eye gauge;
- imagination.
At the same time, in the process of work, future schoolchildren learn to find beauty in the world around them. In addition, when working with natural materials, children learn the basics of modeling a holistic image of a hero.
Plastic as a basis for creativity
Such a modern and simple material as plastic can also be used in crafts. Spoons, plates, forks and other items will be used. It is worth looking around to see something new in familiar things. It would seem, why might a plastic plate be needed? But this is an excellent basis for a new painting.
As a result of such activities, children develop such a skill as “objectification.” In other words, they learn to see new facets in familiar everyday objects. At the same time, as when working with other materials, design techniques are learned.
After all, you have to not only present an idea (visualize), but also combine a plot composition from various materials in a single craft.
The result of all the work is the creation of a three-dimensional figure.
It could be a cartoon character, a forest hut, a spring landscape. At the same time, the preschooler manages to connect individual fragments, elements and parts into a single, holistic image. Applique-style works made from plastic are also unusual. This can be a kind of panel, collage.
The works use various techniques and their combinations. So, an ordinary piece of cotton wool can become a fluffy cloud over a lake or a cap of reeds. Swan wings will be more voluminous if they are made from natural materials. And the waves of a pond can be easily brought to life using plasticine.
The benefits for children from doing crafts in kindergarten are invaluable. Each lesson is a gain of new experience, skills and knowledge. During creative work, not only hand motor skills develop, but also analytical thinking, eye, imagination, and sensory skills.
Leaves applique: autumn
It is not necessary to use only whole leaves for appliqués. There is a separate direction in creativity - broken applique. You can use not only leaves, but also colored paper. Its principle is that the silhouette of the figure is created from torn material.
To make the application, we will need:
- Sheet of cardboard
- Leaves
- Glue
- Dye
Dried leaves must be crumbled.
Draw a tree trunk and branches on cardboard.
Once the paint is dry, apply glue to the trunk and branches where you want the leaves to be.
Sprinkle pieces of leaves onto the glue.
Press down the leaves a little to secure.
Shake off excess leaves from the appliqué.
The same tree can be made using colored paper.
It is not so easy to cope with such an application. The main thing here is to choose the right leaves
