IN kindergarten children learn to draw their first schematic drawings. Step-by-step lessons will help educators prepare gifts for fathers and grandfathers on February 23, because it is in preschool that children learn about the holiday and its meaning, and why men are congratulated on this day.

Let's start with the drawing. We will need:

  • protractor (we will use it to draw a star)
  • a compass or other device that can be used to draw a circle

Let's move on to drawing:

  • Draw a circle and draw two lines in it that will divide it into 4 equal sections.
  • We measure 72 degrees on a protractor and draw a line inside along two opposite sections.


We measure 72 degrees on a protractor and draw a line
  • Again we measure 72 degrees from the already drawn line and draw a second straight line, and then a third.


We repeat
  • In order not to get confused, we mark with dots what we are measuring and from what. How to draw the lines correctly can be seen in the photo.


  • We should have 10 identical sections. Let's draw a dash in the middle of each line (through one straight line). Draw a star and slightly round the corners.
  • Wipe the circle with an eraser and additional lines inside a star. Draw an outline around the star.


Draw a line along the entire contour
  • Now let's depict St. George's ribbon with edges curved down. Let's continue the edges of the ribbon on both sides of the star.


Drawing a ribbon
  • We draw three parallel black lines on each part of the tape. We turn the schematic drawing into a postcard by decorating the star and ribbon, and adding the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day.”


We bring the ends of the tape to the edges of the sheet

An excellent drawing on the theme of Defender of the Fatherland Day - a valiant soldier at his post. Such a drawing will decorate both a postcard and school wall newspaper prepared for the holiday.

For the drawing you will need:

  • blank sheet of paper
  • simple pencil
  • colour pencils
  • ruler


  • Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing a vertical line down the center. Left-hand side should be slightly narrower to the right. Draw an oval in the upper third. This will be the head. Below it we draw the outline of the future collar.
  • Focusing on the preliminary markings, we draw in detail the soldier’s head, which is wearing a hat with earflaps. Add the neck and shoulders. The soldier will be wearing a pea coat, so let's outline his outline.


  • We draw a face and hands. Finishing the drawing small parts clothes.
  • Don't forget to draw our defender the machine gun he is holding in his hands. First we’ll sketch out the lines, and then we’ll draw in more detail. The photo shows what needs to be depicted.








  • Now you need to draw the protective colors of the uniform and the outline of the banner in the background.


  • We write on the left side of the sheet the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day” and specify the background.
  • After that, all that remains is to decorate the drawing.


If the previous drawing is difficult to draw, then with the schematic image of the tank presented in step by step lesson below, the child can cope without the help of adults.

  • For the drawing you will need pencils and a sheet of paper. Better to use notebook sheet in the box. This will make it easier for the child to navigate and draw all the lines correctly.
  • Let's draw the barrel of the tank: in the center of the sheet we will draw a line 4-5 cm long, and above it, at a distance of about 1 cm, another parallel one.


  • Let's connect the lines on the left side, and draw the beginning of the barrel with an oval on the right side.
  • Let's start drawing the tank turret. To do this, step back down 1 cm and at a distance of about 1/3 from the length of the barrel, draw an elongated rectangle 10-12 cm long. Step back from the edge of the base by about 0.5 cm, put dots and connect them in a semicircle.


  • Below we draw the base of the tank caterpillar. How to do this is shown in the photo. Inside the base we draw 5 circles and sketch them with a black pencil.


Drawing a tank caterpillar track

Paint the 5 circles at the base of the tracks with black.
  • Let's draw a star in the center of the tower and a flying flag on a long pole. Decorating the tank green, an asterisk in red and add an inscription.

Since Defender of the Fatherland Day once had the name “Soviet Army Day” and Navy", then all military personnel celebrate it: both on land and at sea.

This is what we will draw:



First, let's prepare everything you need:

  • blank sheet of paper
  • a simple pencil and a black felt-tip pen
  • colored pencils or available paints


  • Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing horizontal line. Do not forget that we draw all the preliminary contours without pressing the pencil, so that later there will be no trace of the erased lines.
  • We will draw the ship in the lower half. First, let's draw a wavy line that will represent the surface of the water. Let's draw the stern with all the necessary protrusions.
  • On the left side of the stern we will draw a cannon. In the central part of the stern we will add the following elements: captain's cabin and radar. They are not difficult to draw if you exactly repeat all the lines, as in the photo.


  • At the bottom of the captain's cabin we will draw a battery of torpedoes and add a row of portholes.


  • We draw a flying flag and, to make the picture more realistic, add a couple of birds flying in the distance.
  • You can stop here and move on to coloring. But this is not enough for a greeting card: you will also have to add an inscription.
  • You need to color the picture like this: a warship - gray-blue, water - blue, draw a red stripe at the bottom of the ship and pick up required colors to depict the national flag.

Ideas and templates of cards for February 23rd in kindergarten

  • The issue of preparation for the holiday on February 23 is beginning to worry kindergarten teachers and school teachers long before its onset. It only at first glance seems that there is nothing difficult in choosing suitable option for a present.
  • But this is not at all true, since the process of creating a craft or a postcard with your own hands, which the children will then give to the most dear people- to fathers and grandfathers, should captivate them, and therefore complex elements or multi-tiered paper structures should be immediately abandoned.
  • A simple but original postcard or craft will appeal much more to both the little “creators” of the masterpiece and adults. What gifts can you prepare for the holiday on February 23 with children in kindergarten - see the photo selection below.




















Cover for postcard




Ideas and templates for postcards for February 23rd to school

Children at school already know a lot, and therefore a simple image of a tank or an airplane will not bring as much pleasure as creating with my own hands cards with a surprise, retractable details, special appliqué, etc.

See the photo selection below of gifts for the holiday on February 23rd, made by schoolchildren, and get inspired!








  • Preparing a sheet for a postcard using a light colored paper: fold the sheet in half and draw a place for an asterisk at the top.
  • Carefully cut out the outline of the star on the main page of the postcard. Draw a small star next to it and write a beautiful one congratulatory inscription. The inscription can be printed on colored paper of the same color, or use a contrasting shade.
    • Cut out a star from red colored paper. To make it voluminous, you need to bend the “ears” that will be glued to the postcard. The star is bent along the lines with the outer edges outward and the inner edges inward.
    • Glue a star on wrong side postcards (spread).
    • We will decorate with strips cut from colored paper golden color. Let's also make the little star golden.
    • Glue 3 golden stripes vertically and horizontally onto the front side of the card, as shown in the photo. Glue a gold star next to it. To ensure that the strips stick evenly, it is better to first mark with a dotted line the places where they should be.
    How to fold a star correctly
    • A voluminous card can also be made using the quilling technique. To make a postcard, in addition to paper (colored and white), you will need toothpicks, glue and scissors.
    • Fold the sheet so that one part is slightly longer. We write large numbers of the holiday date on it. The deuce should be on front side postcards. After the two is drawn, we add a three on the second page of the postcard. Cut out the numbers along the outer edge.
    • We prepare “curls” from strips of colored paper. To make them, you need to “stick” a strip of colored paper onto a toothpick and twist it. You can see in the photo how to paste the resulting curls onto a postcard.
    • We apply each spiral with the glued side to the numbers, trying not to leave large gaps between the curls. Add an asterisk between the numbers and sign the card.

    Until new publications!

    Very soon our country will celebrate the holiday, dedicated to the day Defender of the Fatherland. But few people know for sure that in 1995 February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army's victory over the Kaiser's troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

    This is the complex name this holiday had. And only in 2002 they decided to shorten it and leave only the last few words. And so it happened that February 23 is called Defender of the Fatherland Day.

    By the way, on this holiday it is necessary to honor not only men, but also women. After all, representatives of the fairer sex also serve, risking their lives.

    This was just a small part of the background, and now we return to the preparation of this event.

    It just so happens that on any holiday, including February 23, children prepare gifts and congratulations to their fathers, grandfathers and other relatives. They create crafts and cards with their own hands. Adults accept them with pleasure, and some even keep them. A paper postcard for dad on February 23rd is the kindest and most sincere gift.

    Today I just want to help the kids cope with this task. Today I will tell you how to make postcards for February 23rd with a description.

    DIY postcard for dad on February 23rd

    First of all, I'll show you how to do it Airborne Forces postcard. Why did I choose paratroopers and not pilots and sailors? Because our dad served in airborne troops, and we are proud of it.

    Every year we dress in vests with the whole family and go to the city procession with the flag, honor the memory of those who died and then get down to celebrating.

    Last year we were even able to attend international events, and there were a lot of impressions.

    So for February 23, we decided to give dad a gift, and to include a postcard with the gift.

    In order to make an Airborne Forces greeting card, you will need:

    • Colored paper;
    • Glue;
    • Scissors;
    • Sheet of cardboard;
    • Pencil.

    We need cardboard for the base of the card; it is better to use a pencil for glue, because the parts are not large and it will be easier to use. You will need a pencil to draw clouds and a parachute, and scissors to cut out these details.

    Let's get to work and start making an Airborne Forces greeting card.

    The first step is to fold a sheet of cardboard in half, this will be the base of the postcard. You choose the color yourself.

    To simplify the task, I can suggest this template. It can be printed if you have a printer.

    In exactly the same way, you can either draw a parachute or print it. Here's another template for you.

    It doesn't matter if you drew it all or printed it out, now you just need to cut it out.

    We bend the resulting clouds and parachute exactly in the center. Lubricate one half of the parachute with glue and connect it to the half of the other parachute. Look, I made them different colors, in combination they will resemble a paratrooper's vest. As soon as our parachute is ready, we grease its edges and glue it to the cardboard in the place you like.

    You can draw the slings, you can make them using threads, or you can cut them out from the template that I offered you just above. I used the last option.

    Now we need to make the clouds. We deal with them in exactly the same way. Just remember to be careful, because the postcard should not be stained with glue. In the end I got something like this greeting card Airborne Forces

    In my opinion, such original postcards It’s not at all difficult to do on February 23rd with children.

    Master class postcard for dad with numbers 23

    In this work I will not provide templates, so you need to rely only on yourself.

    To make a card for dad with the numbers 23, you will need:

    • White cardboard;
    • Golden cardboard;
    • Colored paper;
    • Scissors
    • Glue;
    • Pencil.

    When we have all this, prepare the surface and get to work. The first thing you need to do is bend a piece of white cardboard like this.

    From blue and red paper, cut strips 2 centimeters wide and as long as cardboard. We glue the strips as shown in the photo. It turns out to be a wonderful tricolor. Glue a green rectangle into the middle of the card.

    Now we take golden-colored cardboard and draw on back side a twig with leaves and cut it out. It needs to be glued on top.

    You can also use colored paper, but it will quickly wrinkle, because we only glue the twig in the middle.

    In conclusion, you need to cut out two numbers from cardboard or colored paper. I decided to take the scarlet color. Draw the numbers with a pencil and cut them out. Glue one on one side of the card, the other on the other.
