Santa Claus bouquet of sweets. New Year's crafts from candies
What will allow a child to learn how to choose the right size of objects, combine colors, and place different shapes in space correctly? Of course, these are applications made from circles of colored paper, and in general applications from geometric shapes.
If you think about it and use your imagination, you can imagine any object as round, consisting only of round elements. Let's get creative and see what animals made up of circles and semicircles might look like!
Preparation of materials
First, let's decide what exactly we need to make such applications.
- First of all, colored paper;
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Compass.
Templates may also come in handy, so we suggest you carefully look at the options with templates:
Bear
In order to make a bear figurine, we will take the materials and tools necessary for the work.
For the teddy bear, cut out circles in four sizes. The body is the largest circle, the head is a medium-sized circle, five small circles are the paws and muzzle, and two identical small circles are the ears. In total we need 9 circles.
You can prepare templates for children in advance so that they do not have to work with dangerous compasses.
All that remains is to assemble the bear into one solid figure. First, glue the body circle to a plain sheet of paper, then the head. Then the paws, the muzzle. We will make the ears from one circle, cutting it into two semicircles. Using a felt-tip pen, draw eyes, a nose and a mouth.
The bear made from circles and semicircles is ready!
Elephant and owl
For the baby elephant, we will also need the materials and tools for work described above. You will need 3 circles: the body - the largest circle, the head a little smaller and the ear. And there are 4 semicircles: two for the trunk and two for the feet.
First we glue the body, then glue the head and ear to it. From below to the body we glue circles and semicircles that form the legs. We will assemble a trunk from two semicircles and glue it to the head.
Draw the eyes and tail with felt-tip pens or paints. The elephant made of circles and semicircles is ready!
For the owlet, take a large circle for the body, two medium ones for the wings, two semicircles for the ears and three quarter circles for the paws and nose.
The gluing process is the same as usual: we start with a large element and glue the head to it. Then we glue the ears and beak to the head. Draw the eyes with a felt-tip pen or paint.
Glue the wings and legs. You can draw or glue a branch on which the owl is sitting.
Bullfinch
We will need the parts shown in the picture: one large black circle, a smaller pink circle, a black semicircle and one black circle divided into six parts.
Glue the bullfinch figurine onto cardboard or paper. As usual, we start with the body, then glue on the pink breast. We also glue the black wing with an overlap.
Then we glue the paws, tail, and decorate the bullfinch’s face with eyes and beak. The bird is ready!
Ladybug
Let's prepare 4 circles of different diameters. Choose contrasting colors, for example, black and red. First of all, we glue the body of the ladybug onto the cardboard, that is, a larger circle. For the head, take a second black circle, fold it in half and glue it to the first one at the edge.
Now let's make the wings. To do this, take red circles, fold them in half and glue them on one side to the body near the head so that the tips of the wings barely touch.
We finish the work: with a felt-tip pen we draw eyes, paws and dots on the wings. Ladybug is ready to fly!
You can make not just appliqués, but entire paintings with their help. For example, we can put a ladybug on a flower or a green lawn, we can place an elephant or a bear cub in a circus arena, adding some balls or a bicycle.
Experiment with the setting, with the animals themselves on the applique, and they will sparkle with new colors!
So, we see that circles and semicircles can create a whole zoo with a variety of animals. Here's a pelican:
And the chicken:
And the pig:
And even a lion:
If you give children imagination, you can make a wide variety of animals, and more! There are a lot of ideas. For some applications, you will need to prepare templates for the lesson in advance; children can cut out some parts themselves. The main thing is not to be afraid to try, fantasize, invent, because imagination is the key to successful appliqué and crafts!

Mystery.
He is huge, but obedient,
He has big ears
Legs are pedestals, like a house,
He has a small tail,
Long trunk instead of arms:
Carries logs and bamboo.
Maybe take the kids for a ride,
If you treat it deliciously.
He is brave and strong.
Did you guess it? This is... (elephant)
Elephant
The elephant dances and sings
And he sits down and stands up,
Having stretched out his trunk, he lies down,
Wags his thin tail,
Speaks:
- Why not a bird?
I was born
What about an elephant?
If I had been born a bird,
I would sit on a branch.
If I had been born a bird,
I would fly to the sea.
On the back of a large whale
I sat and rested.
- Hello, Keith! Such an elephant
Have you ever seen it?
"Is it really this bird
Did the Elephant manage to become a huge one? -
Keith thought. - Not good
I’ll remain a whale.”
Released a fountain to the sky,
Dispersed the wave with his tail,
Daydreaming:
"Oh, and I would
Turn into a bird too -
What's the joy of being a whale?
We would take off and fly
Whale Bird and Elephant Bird,
And we were tired - we sat,
Relaxed among the waves."
Before he had time to think so -
Neither the Whale nor the Elephant,
Only rocks the birds
Ocean wave.
Just then the Elephant woke up,
Surprised:
- What a dream!..

Applications for children are one of the most favorite games and fun. But it’s by playing that the little ones learn! They gradually become accustomed to the world of colors and shapes. And they also 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 give you ideas for appliqué made from colored paper.
What we can offer:
- Schemes and stencils for applications of different figures: flowers, animals, insects and fairy-tale characters.
- We'll show you what interesting, non-traditional appliqué techniques there are.
- And, of course, we will give you a lot of positive emotions! We are sure you will have fun with us!
For the little ones
Who said that plot application is difficult? Even the younger group can cope with some types of applications. Now we will create a beautiful basket with flowers in it.
What we may need for the application:
- Colored thin paper;
- Cardboard;
- Pencil;
- Stencils;
- Glue.
Hedgehog
Applications for the little ones are creativity, where the abilities of even the tiniest fidget are taken into account. And this example with the “hedgehog” is just right for toddlers who, by the age of three, still cannot cut and glue, but they will be great at participating in the work. How?
Volumetric ladybug
This application is perfect for children 3-4 years old. It is very easy to make.
Application execution sequence: 
Flower meadow
This clearing is an application for the younger group for children 4 years old. It can be any size and color. And several kids can work on it together at the same time. It is only important for each of them to indicate his area of work.
Lesson in 3 stages: 
Little funny chicken
You can prepare holiday cards in a very original way. The application in the preparatory group will help with this.
You need to cut out the following parts: 
Chick
Kids 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 child-like emotions. But how can you make an applique just like this so that your baby feels a kindred spirit? Here's a great example of this!
Meet Tsypa! He has:
- Body - square;
- Eye – 2 circles (black and white, and a little more white);
- Beak - triangle;
- The paws are also triangular;
- The wing is a semicircle;
- Tuft - crescent.
Now, trust the little one, let him choose what color will be! Explain what each figure means and why the bird needs it. Isn't that interesting? So, finding the right stencils for applications is already a game. All that remains is to glue everything together!
Sun
Let's complicate the task. We have to help the children learn how to make an applique panel. There are many details that are both a background and an independent part of the picture. The central part is the mischievous face of the smiling Sun.
Leave the work on your kitten's smile. Or you can print ready-made faces:
And start preparing yellow, golden and orange circles of different sizes.
We assemble 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 applique is the sweetest and most tender thing you can imagine. She just looks so fluffy that I can’t believe it was all created. A torn applique achieves this 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. The flowers themselves, leaves and stems. Children in the middle group will master this simple applique very quickly.
Snowman
We made greeting cards, invitations to celebrations, paintings, and even memories 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 without delaying the preparatory work, move on to constructing the toy.
Read more about blanks. The basis is 2 circles of the same size, drawn as a figure eight. The 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
Polyana is a multi-composition application in kindergarten for children 5-6 years old. Here we will get acquainted with models that need to be made first, and only then fixed to the base. Volumetric types of applications are made with such an original sample.
Our base is blue cardboard. This is heaven. The sun is shining. The grass grows and flowers bloom in it. And butterflies and dragonflies flutter above them. All parts are made of accordion-folded paper. 
A collection of applique master classes + interesting ideas
It's nice to know that different types of appliques made by children, such as appliqué made from torn paper or from corrugated material, are a good memory. And irrefutable evidence that our little ones have talent. The child is developing. And we help him with this.

The elephant is so big that you have to climb the ladder on him in order to get on his back. He has a trunk coming from his head, and he can twist and bend his trunk in any way he wants.
The trunk collects dust from the ground, and then blows all the dust onto its back, and the stomach also blows dust. He does this to prevent insects from biting him. He has no hair and very thick, folded skin. And on his head he has big ones, right up to his entire head. And he shakes and claps them, and his eyes are very small.
