And so that interest in this kind of crafts does not disappear over time, come up with new interesting stories, try new techniques and be sure to praise the baby.
How to make an applique for children 3 years old
If your child has never done such crafts before, it is better to start with various geometric shapes. During these classes of making appliqués from shapes, you will not only teach your little one to work with paper, scissors and glue, but also consolidate knowledge of basic geometric shapes. In addition, the baby will be able to learn new colors and also learn to combine them with each other.
After geometric shapes, you can move on to familiar objects, fruits, vegetables, flowers or animals. In addition to the fact that such activities will have a positive effect on memory development, they will also improve imaginative thinking and imagination. While working on a craft, you can study simple words in English or another language. For children 3 years old, applications made from colored paper are a favorite activity also because they like not only bright colors, but also the opportunity to cut out various objects and shapes, and then create them themselves beautiful crafts. Of course, at first you will need to help the baby work with scissors, but then he can do it on his own (provided that the baby uses special children's scissors). First, you can simply cut out various shapes and stick them in random order on the sheet. By the way, in this case you can make an unusual mosaic application. After this, you can move on to the cut-off appliqué technique, for which the sheet is cut or torn into small pieces, which are then glued onto the whole sheet. In this case, you can first draw some design on a sheet of paper, and then fill it with pieces of paper.
Today in stores you can purchase ready-made applique templates for children 3 years old. Such templates will save you the time you need to spend on drawing, and thanks to the fact that there are templates with drawings on any topic, you can easily select those that will be interesting to your child. For example, for 3-year-old children, flower applique will be very interesting and educational.
It is advisable to start with simple crafts, for example, with a bell.
Volumetric applications for children 3 years old can be made in various ways.
For example, you can simply cut out several shapes for each of the elements and stick them on top of each other. This method is called overlay applique. By the way, what a simple way to make a 3D fabric applique for 3 year old children.
No less interesting crafts are obtained if you use not ordinary white or multi-colored paper for them, but soft plain napkins.
For example, you can make an unusual three-dimensional sheep together with your baby.
This craft is quite simple, and children will certainly enjoy working with soft napkins. So, first you need to prepare all the materials that you will need for the work, namely: a sheet of cardboard (you can use ordinary white or colored), white napkins, scissors, a little PVA glue and a glue brush. In addition, you will need a simple pencil and a felt-tip pen or dark gray marker.
If you are not using a ready-made template with a picture of a sheep, you first need to draw with a simple pencil sheep, and then cut out the design and transfer it to a sheet of cardboard. Next, draw a muzzle and hooves for the sheep with a marker or felt-tip pen. If you want, ears and hooves can be cut out of colored paper and then glued to the drawing. If you cut out the ears, when you glue them to the sheep, apply glue only to the base of the ears. This is necessary so that your sheep turns out voluminous.
After this, you can begin the most interesting work for the baby - tear the napkin into pieces and then roll them into balls. Of course, the napkin can be cut into pieces with scissors, but in this case the paper balls will not be so voluminous and fluffy. If you don’t have napkins on hand, you can easily replace them with cotton wool. When the required number of balls is ready (about two napkins are needed for a medium-sized sheep), you can apply glue to them and attach them to the sheep. The glue can be applied with a brush or you can first pour it into a small bowl and dip the ball on one side into the glue. When the sheep becomes fluffy and beautiful, you can put it aside for a while so that the glue dries completely.
Palm applique will be very interesting for kids. Its meaning is that first the baby’s palms are outlined on colored paper, and then they are cut out and glued to the base in the form of some kind of composition. For example, this is how you can make a beautiful three-dimensional Christmas tree, rays of sun and similar Day of Frost in the New Year.
