Application templates from colored paper for children 2 3 years old. Volumetric paper card with daisies
Do you do so many things with your children that you no longer know what to think of so that they can be occupied with something exciting and useful? Try this applique idea, which is suitable for kids of absolutely any age. Look at the photos of beautiful applications and you will understand what we are talking about.
This process will be interesting for both children and adults. Application involves the application of any elements to the base - this can be gluing or sewing on decorative items.
Today, stores sell much more things that can be easily attributed to such an occupation. And it’s not at all necessary to go to the store for knick-knacks, look at your home and you will find various lace fabrics, flowers, beads or beads, as well as much more than you can decorate any thing.
Description of the application technique
You can take any idea as a plot - it can be cartoon and movie characters, elements of nature, animals and toys, and even holidays.
paper application
For children, the most convenient and easiest option for such an activity is paper. Paper is fun and easy to work with, as it doesn't involve much complexity.
Moreover, now there is so much different in appearance, color and material of paper that you can easily get lost in it, which will undoubtedly give you a place to turn around.
Thanks to work with paper application, children develop very much. Coordination and motor skills of hands improve, composition, combination of colors, texture of material are studied, imagination and fantasy develop.
Moreover, the child learns to think correctly or analyze the sequential steps that are required to complete the application.
materials
In addition to the fact that the application requires cutting out paper figures and gluing them to the base, you need high-quality and necessary materials. The main elements here are special paper and glue, since not all components may be well suited for this business.
It is worth taking the paper of medium thickness, since thin paper will be easily torn, and too thick paper will be difficult to cut and stick to the base, you can use both gloss and mat, smooth or textured.
What can an application be made of?
For the first time, color matte paper is perfect, which is great for a printer. Its density is perfect for this case. If you are a more experienced person, coated glossy paper is recommended.
However, remember that gloss can leave traces of glue or even fingerprints, so you should be extremely careful with it.
If you choose paper with a texture, then it will be possible to focus on any details, and it looks richer. There is also foil paper, which will perfectly mark some elements of the application.
Self-adhesive paper will be a great solution if you can find enough colors. Glue has already been applied to its reverse side, so working with it is a pleasure. And for the basis of the application, you can take high-density cardboard.
Tools
If you decide to make a beautiful appliqué with your own hands, then you will definitely need tools. For example, to cut out a paper element, you will need scissors, and if you want to cut something from the inside, you will need a stationery sharp knife. Particular attention should be attributed to glue, which should not deform and spoil the paper during application.
It is desirable to have a pair of scissors: one with straight blades, the second with rounded ones, later you will realize that different types of scissors are great for different elements. Don't forget to put a wooden backing pad for cutting paper with a knife so you don't accidentally ruin your furniture.
An excellent solution would be a hole punch in the form of figures. With one click, you can make an elegant figure, and later glue it, then you won’t have to suffer with cutting out.
There are also curly scissors, when cutting they create a unique pattern of the edge of the cut paper. We advise you to take rubber glue, as it is most suitable for appliqué work.
Its advantage is that if you glued something crookedly, you can remove it and stick it on a new one. You can also take glue in the form of a pencil or with a brush.
Ideas for beautiful applications on various topics
The original idea would be to create an applique only from even cut out round elements. The child will like this when he sees that his favorite animal or cartoon character is going from circles of different sizes. You can also make not just a flat composition, but with three-dimensional elements that can be movable.
As an unusual idea, you can use ordinary napkins with a pattern or even without it. For even more uniqueness, you can roll small balls from napkins, and then glue them to the base.
Detailed instructions on how to make applications from napkins
- The prepared image must be applied to the base
- Pay attention to the details, as it is more convenient to glue various elements when there is enough space on the base.
- Prepare napkins in different colors
- Choose a frame that matches the size of the base
It is not necessary to put the drawing on cardboard, as you can print it on a printer on plain paper, and then simply glue it to the base. In order to make balls from napkins, cut the napkins into small squares, and then simply roll them up to a certain state. Estimate at a glance how many balls you need for your application.
PVA glue will perfectly help you glue the balls of napkins to the base. Some details can be drawn with a marker. Use as much color as possible, so your work will turn out colorful, juicy and bright.
In order for the work to be completed, it is necessary to place the picture in a frame and hang it on the wall. The application can be made as a postcard for any holiday, but most of all, such work is suitable for a birthday, mom on March 8 or dad on February 23. This appliqué crafts master class is easy to add with your own ideas, which will add even more depth to the composition.
Photo applications
Making crafts from colored paper, you can teach a child much more than it might seem at first glance. In addition to the names of colors, a child can master the simplest geometric shapes, and in addition, folding paper with an accordion or an envelope, fine motor skills of the fingers work, contributing to the development of speech. So you can pass a rainy day or evening for a useful activity. Application templates for children will be offered here. Indeed, here you will find an overview of new application techniques, as well as stencils and diagrams for interesting blanks. Moreover, they will be different in complexity, suitable for children of different ages and skills.
Apps for the little ones
If you are interested in applications for children aged 5, then here you can see a lot of interesting things. Let's start with a simple flower basket that younger children won't have any trouble making. For her we need:
- Stencils.
- Pencil.
- Glue.
- Cardboard.
- Colored thin paper.
Working process:
Application hedgehog
At the age of three, it’s still not good for children to cut, but all the same, they can participate in such an application. 
We circle the palms on dark-colored paper, cut it out and glue it, four palms are enough. Or we give the baby finger paints, let him smear his palms, and then, turning at a different angle, print small palms on paper.
From the same paper, you need to cut out almost a boat, you get a little body and a hedgehog nose. Glue a small circle on the edge of the boat - that's the spout.
We glue the body under the needles.
We make the mouth and eye out of paper of the desired color and glue it in the right places.
Well, not with empty thorns to leave such a wonderful hedgehog! Let's plant a paper fungus and an apple on its thorns.
It remains to add paws so that the hedgehog can run fast, and that's it, he's ready.
Ladybug in volume
Here are collected colored applications for children. The following application is a great choice for 3-4 year olds. It is completely easy to make.
We make 2 circles from red paper, and from black - 2 semi-ovals.
They bent the circles in half and glued them in only one half, connecting them on the fold line. And we glue the semi-oval on top of the circles.
Draw black dots on the circles with a felt-tip pen. Children will only have to attach eyes with antennae.
Clearing with flowers
Our colored paper applications for children are very interesting. Children from 4 years of age will cope with the following option. The size and color of the clearing is absolutely free, the work can be collective, only it is necessary to distribute duties equally among all participants.
Working process:
We take a green leaf and prepare the background for the clearing - randomly paint it with green paint.
We fold the multi-colored leaves in four and round the edges with scissors. It turns out blanks - flowers. You can, of course, glue individual circles, 4 little things next to each other in the form of flowers. 
Now we cut out individual circles - these are the middle of the flowers, glue one at a time in the center of each blank.
The more flowers, the better your clearing will be decorated, even a child can handle such a simple job.
Such an application can be made in the form of a postcard, this is work already for the children from the preparatory group.
We need a brown square under the body of the turkey.
6 blanks in the form of petals, they can be different and the same in size, these will be feathers.
The orange triangle is the beak.
Orange sticks with a triangle on the ring, 2 pieces, these will be the legs.
1 red part in the form of a droplet, this will be an earring or coral that hangs from the beak of turkeys.
White and black circles, larger white, smaller black, these will be the eyes and the whites of the eyes.
Now we assemble the figure - first we make the bird's face on the square, and then glue the feathers around the square. 
Children may only need help in collecting the face, so that the distances between the parts are balanced and uniform.
chick
Sometimes it doesn’t matter for children whether the color and shape of the character are correct, what is important is the flight of fantasy on this topic. So why shouldn't the chicken be square and purple?
So, we take:
- Body square.
- 2 pairs of circles for the peephole. Moreover, the whites are bigger, the blacks are smaller.
- 2 triangles for paws.
- 1 triangle will be the beak.
- The crescent will be a tuft.
- And the semicircle is a wing.
Now first put everything in its place, explaining to the child the purpose of certain figures, and then you can already take the glue in your hands.
The sun
Now the task is more difficult, we are mastering the technique of creating a panel, which will be based on the face of a laughing sun.
A child can also portray such an attractive face, but if you need more cartoony, look on the Internet and print the appropriate option.
You also need to prepare different-sized circles of golden, yellow and orange colors.
Now, against the background of the blue sky, we collect the picture, we start with the sun glare - our different-sized circles.
Do not forget to alternate the colors of the circles, and they will go in a circle, or in rays - it's up to you.
In the center we paste a cheerful face and it turned out such a funny sun.
Lilac bouquet
The next paper application for 7 children looks very gentle. It's made from torn paper. See for yourself, the lilac in the vase is just like a living one!
The background can be just painted paper or ready-made colored paper pasted on cardboard.
The contours of the vase can be completely free, maybe even abstract. It is cut out, then glued to the prepared background.
Stems and leaves are cut out immediately and glued, preferably from corrugated paper.
Now we take on the lilac. To begin with, from a lilac napkin, we cut out the general outline of the lilac brushes for each stem. Glue them to the stems, this will allow the resulting application to look quite realistic.
Lubricate our brush silhouettes with glue. Now we glue each crumpled lump tightly to another, so that there are no gaps between them.
Now let's add the leaves, and that's it, the vase with the lilac bouquet is ready.
You can give a darker or brighter color in places with a watercolor of a similar color, you get a play of chiaroscuro on a bouquet, it looks very impressive.
Just a field bouquet
The result should be an original stable composition, moreover, without a vase.
We bend a sheet of green paper in half, but do not iron the fold, it is necessary that it remains voluminous, semicircular.
Now, it is from the fold that we begin to cut the sheet to the edges, but not reaching them one and a half to two cm.
We turn everything into a tube and glue the corners. The design must stand confidently. Slightly push the petals of the future bouquet.
We fasten the flowers to the stems, and the gift is ready!
snowman
This is already a Christmas decoration. It has 2 bases and 16 circles. Moreover, it is better to immediately print them from a computer, so as not to spend a lot of time preparing.
The base is 2 circles in the form of a figure eight, in the amount of 2 pieces. The rest of the circles are equal to 1 circle of such eight.
Take a couple more beads and a rope, 4 times longer than the base.
Lubricate 1 base with glue, put a folded rope in half there, you get a loop at the top, and 2 ends at the bottom, on which we put beads. We impose the second basis on the first and press down until complete gluing.
We bend all the other circles in half, and from 8 pieces of them we glue the sides together. It remains to fix them on the bottom circle of the base.
Do the same with the rest of the circles. And the lower part of the snowman is very voluminous.
We draw a face for him, you can glue a bucket or a hat on him, tie a scarf.
forest clearing
Job for 5-6 year olds. The first stage is to make separate figures, the second is to come up with a composition with them and, in accordance with it, fix the figures on a sheet of paper.
We take blue cardboard as a basis. This will be the sky. We will place the sun, grass with flowers, dragonflies on it. All figures are made from colored paper folded with an accordion.
Grass - we take green paper, from its strip 5 cm wide, and the length is 2 times the length of the cardboard. We fold it into an accordion, and cut off the top at an acute angle of almost 1 cm. Glue it to the base.
Flower - a strip 3-5 cm wide, long, also in an accordion, then turn inside out to connect the edges. We glue them and our flower is ready. It is better to make several and different colors.
We make the stems from simply glued strips, and cut the accordion leaves in half.
Butterflies - cut off the rounded edges of a sheet of colored paper. Do the same with a smaller sheet and a different color.
We connect them in the middle, gluing them with a strip, spread the wings.
Dragonfly - cut out 2 blanks from paper - a figure eight and a droplet. We glue them one after another, and in the middle of the figure eight we attach wings folded like an accordion.
Sun - In the upper corner we glue a triangle, and on its outer side - a strip - an accordion, we get rays.
So our clearing turned out to be alive and fluttering.
Here is such a useful activity - an application. The child will surely like it, and will become his hobby for a long time.
I apologize for the quality of the photo, as always laziness, as always the phone. And some crafts have already begun to crumble, so I did not take them out of the files and left reflections.

Applications for children are one of the most favorite games and fun. But it is precisely by playing that the little ones learn! They are gradually mastered in the world of colors and shapes. And yet, they get satisfaction from the fact that they themselves, with their own hands, can create beauty. And if parents want to help their child, we will suggest ideas for colored paper applications.
What we can offer:
- Schemes and stencils for applications of different figures: flowers, animals, insects and fairy-tale characters.
- Let's show what entertaining non-traditional application techniques are.
- And, of course, we will give you a lot of positive! We are sure you will have fun with us!
For the little ones
Who said that the plot application is difficult? Even the younger group can handle some types of applications. We will now create a beautiful basket, and there are flowers in it.
What we may need for the application:
- Colored thin paper;
- Cardboard;
- Pencil;
- Stencils;
- Glue.
Hedgehog
Applications for the smallest are creativity, where the abilities of even the tiniest fidget are taken into account. And this example with a “hedgehog” is just right for little ones, which by the age of three they still cannot cut and glue, but they will do a great job of participating in the work. How?
Ladybug voluminous
This application is perfect for children 3-4 years old. It is very easy to make.
Application execution sequence: 
Flower meadow
This glade is an application in the younger group for children 4 years old. It can be any size and color. And several kids can work together on it at the same time. It is important only for each of them to indicate his scope of work.
Lesson in 3 stages: 
Little funny chicken
You can make holiday cards in a very original way. This will help the application in the preparatory group.
You need to cut out the following details: 
chick
Toddlers think abstractly, for them such a trifle as the color or shape of a character does not matter, if at the same time his image conveys emotions similar to children's. But how to make the application just such that the baby feels a kindred spirit? Here's a great example!
Meet Chypa! Him:
- The body is a square;
- Eye - 2 circles (black and white, and white with a little more);
- The beak is a triangle;
- The paws are also triangular;
- Wing - a semicircle;
- The crest is a crescent.
And now, trust the little one, let him choose what will be what color! Explain that each figure indicates why the bird is doing this. Is it really interesting? So, finding the right stencils for applications is already a game. It remains only to glue everything!
Sun
We complicate the task. We have to help the kids learn how to make a panel application. There are many details that are both a background and an independent part of the picture. The central part is the mischievous muzzle of the smiling Sun.
Leave the smile to your kitten. Or you can print ready-made muzzles:
And do yourself the preparation of yellow, golden and orange circles of different sizes.
We collect a picture on a blue background.
You can stick circles in the form of rays, or in a circle, the main thing is to alternate their colors. The Sun itself will be placed in the middle of the panel.
Lilac
Probably, a broken appliqué is the sweetest and most gentle thing you can imagine. She just looks so fluffy that I can't believe it's all made. A torn appliqué acquires such an effect due to small uneven parts assembled into one composition.
Bouquet
These are not just flowers, but a structure that will stand. In this case, we will make all parts of the plant. Flowers, leaves and stems. This simple application in the middle group will be mastered by children very quickly.
Snowman
We made greeting cards, invitations to a celebration, paintings and even a memory of your little one's childhood. But now we will try to make a Christmas tree toy.
And since it consists of two bases and 16 circles, we print out templates for applications, this will allow you to quickly, and not linger on the preparatory work, proceed to the design of the toy.
More about preparations. The base is 2 circles of the same size, drawn with a figure eight. Additional circles are equal in diameter to those in the base.
We also need a rope 4 times the length of the base. and decorative beads. 
glade
Glade is a multi-composition application in kindergarten for children 5-6 years old. Here we will get acquainted with the models that must first be made, and only then fixed on the basis. Volumetric types of applications are made in such an original pattern.
Our base is blue cardboard. This is the sky. The sun is shining. Grass grows in which flowers bloom. And above them flutter butterflies and dragonflies. All parts are made of paper folded into an accordion. 
Piggy bank of master classes on applications + interesting ideas
It is nice to know that the different types of appliqués made by children, such as appliqués made from torn paper, or from corrugated material, are a good memory. Yes, and irrefutable evidence that our little ones have talent. The child is developing. And in this we help him.
What to do with children 3-4 years old, so that it is interesting and useful for their development? Of all the variety of activities that develop creative thinking, it will be very useful and interesting to use an application made of paper or other suitable material. And regardless of the result of the work (it turned out beautifully or not), the child is happy that he did it himself. Application with children 3-4 years old is a creative activity that forms the aesthetic taste of the child.
At 3-4 years old, the baby already speaks well, he has heard many fairy tales, been to the zoo or seen animals in the village, is familiar with many types of transport, watched the creative or labor process. His circle of knowledge is wide enough. Everything that children of 3-4 years old see, hear about, play can be used as a starting point for creativity. This can be beaten with developing appliqué classes.
You can start using the application from the age of 2. Then by the age of 4 this activity will become a favorite. And with ready-made applications, you can decorate a children's room or give it to grandparents.
Application for children 3-4 years old can be classified according to the method of work, type of materials.
For children 3 years old
It is very simple so that the child can perform the maximum of actions with the minimum help of an adult.
. This is a suitable type of application for children 3 years old. The details of the composition are cut out of colored paper along the outlined contour and pasted onto the base cardboard. The main thing in this type of application is accuracy. Strawberry application is easy to perform. Cut out strawberries from red paper along the contour outlined by an adult and glue them onto cardboard. Then cut the tail out of green paper or use the one already cut out and also stick it on cardboard.
For 3-year-old kids, everything turns out awkwardly, but it’s already good that they learn to work with scissors, train their hands and fingers. This develops fine motor skills, which is associated with mental development. And the seeds on the strawberries can be painted with yellow paint with a brush.
Details for paper appliqué for children 3-4 years old should be made large. It should be convenient for the child to take them in his hands and stick them.
You can print the picture in detail, cut it out and assemble it by gluing it on a blank sheet of paper. All actions with scissors and glue should be performed by the baby. The main criterion for evaluation is not the level of skill, but the very participation in the creation of the work.
Volume application. You need a base-cardboard, the contour of the future drawing is applied to it. The details of the composition are created from paper, but first they give it volume. You can slightly wrinkle pieces of colored paper, or you can fill the contour with spirals, accordions, napkin balls.
Using geometric elements. In it, images and compositions are made up of geometric shapes. The same strawberry can be a simple red triangle with a green tail in the form of an even rectangle stick. In a rectangle-aquarium, fish triangles or quadrangles can swim, which are easy for kids to cut out, round stones lie, long rectangle algae grow.
Ripped appliqué. Previously, the outline of the drawing is applied to the colored cardboard. You can print the outlines of the application for children, or you can ask the kid to draw it himself. The peculiarity of this method is that the parts from colored paper are not cut out, but are torn into small pieces that fill the contour. This is again a great exercise for the development of the child's fingers.
For children 4 years old
For kids 4 years old, the degree of difficulty increases. And also the materials for work are not limited to paper.
Application of grains and cereals. The contour of the drawing is covered with a thin layer of glue and filled with cereals, coffee beans, dry beans, peas. Such compositions are very loved by children because of the unusual performance.
Using cardboard and plasticine. The basis is colored cardboard. The contour of the picture is filled with plasticine balls, sausages, or the details of the picture are fashioned entirely and stuck to cardboard. Also an interesting exercise helps to develop the fingers of a child of 3-4 years old.
Leaf applique. Both green and colored leaves will do in the fall. The leaves must first be dried. You can use the traditional method of drying the leaves between the pages of books, but this will take some time. And the leaves dried in this way will lose their color: they will be brown. It is better and faster to dry the leaves with a hot iron, placing them between the pages of the newspaper. The color of the sheet is preserved, the material dries quickly, and you can start working on the application.
Fabric appliqué. According to the finished template, the details of the picture are cut out, for example, a bus. This will be the preparation. It is recommended to pre-soak it with a liquid solution of gelatin and dry it. Since the material is fabric, a four-year-old child will not always be able to cut the bus blank himself, he will need the help of an adult. Then the part is smeared with glue and glued onto colored cardboard. Such work is already similar to a real picture.
Gallery: paper applique for children 3-4 years old (25 photos)
. This is something like a craquelure technique and looks very similar to a mosaic. Therefore, it requires patience. Pieces of painted or white shells are laid out along the outlined outline of the pattern and glued, filling the entire outline, like a mosaic. It is better to choose dark cardboard for the background, so the picture will look more impressive.
