Patriotic education allows you to form a clear idea of the purpose of the military army for the life of the state. The armed forces play one of the most important roles in the life of every citizen.
From kindergarten, kids are taught to make unusual and interesting crafts dedicated to thematic wartime dates. Today, you can build a craft on a patriotic theme from any consumables and materials at hand. Our material contains the best techniques for creativity with children at home.
Military equipment
Interesting patriotic crafts have been developed for children aged 3 to 5 years. For example, a tank made of a dishwashing sponge, matchboxes.
For the creative process you will need:
- Dark green dishwashing sponge;
- Brown cardboard;
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Cotton swab for ear cleaning;
- Acrylic paints of dark green, black, brown, red shades;
- Brush;
- Matchbox;
- Colored green paper;
- A simple pencil.
Work progress:
- The matchbox must be pasted over with green colored paper. Thus, it is possible to create a compact tower that will hold the muzzle. You can fix bright cellulose with glue.
- Draw wheel patterns on brown cardboard. We carefully cut out dense workpieces with scissors. Next, glue them to the side of the sponge. This element will act as the main body of the combat vehicle. For crafts, you need 6 parts of the same size.
- On the porous surface, you need to glue the green tower from the matchbox. A cotton swab will help to make the barrel of the tank. Gently paint the soft base in a green shade. It is best to use acrylic paints for the job.
- Draw red stars on the surface of the tower. The tracks can be made from brown cardboard strips and glued to the wheels. The photo of the patriotic craft shows the finished product.
Crafts from salt dough by February 23
Today, the souvenir departments offer a large selection of products made in the appropriate theme. Do-it-yourself military patriotic crafts help to instill a perception of the Great Patriotic War, military battles and huge losses.
Professional teachers recommend choosing handicraft techniques based on fine motor skills. For example, the sculpting process helps to activate the imagination of toddlers and preschoolers.
What can you choose for a patriotic craft to school? We propose to make a miniature painting out of salted dough, in which a soldier and military equipment will be present.
For the creative process you will need:
- Salty dough;
- A set of acrylic paints;
- Set of brushes;
- Hot melt glue;
- Small plywood;
- Frame;
- Sequins.
Progress:
- It is necessary to mold the head, arms, legs, body of the future soldier from the salt dough. The thickness of each part should be no more than 1 cm. Thanks to this, the fake can be fixed in an upright position. All elements must dry on their own for 3 hours. In the process of sculpting in the face area, it is necessary to shape the eyes, nose and mouth.
- Using acrylic paints, paint all the details in accordance with the sketch. To make the product look realistic, you will need to use brushes. We paint the body of the soldier in a beige shade. His clothes will combine several colors. The child must independently color the uniform in a dark green color.For camouflage spots, you will need to use black and brown tones.
- When all the parts are ready, you need to glue them to the surface of the plywood with a heat gun. The background can be decorated with dense plantings of trees, grass and flowers. A child can independently arrange small elements in a military composition.
- Let's move on to making the tank. It is also made from salted dough. The first step is to make a powerful body of a combat vehicle. For this, a small element of plastic mass is turned into a trapezoid. Wheels are made from small balls. The tower is made of a compact oval, and the muzzle is made of a miniature square. All parts must dry well so that cracks do not appear on their surface. Then you can paint them with acrylic paints.
- For work, use a dark green, brown and black shade of the dye. After that, we glue the elements onto the plywood. Using a thermal gun, we make smooth lines, which we sprinkle with bright glitters. The result is a festive fireworks display. The final step will be to use a photo frame. Thus, a beautiful panel dedicated to the holiday of February 23 and May 9 is obtained.
Patriotic applique
What can you choose to create a patriotic craft for kindergarten? For joint needlework with preschool children, unusual applications are suitable. For work we need:
- Gouache paints of red, green, yellow, orange, black;
- Colored dark green paper;
- A4 white sheet;
- A simple pencil.
Progress:
- The craft is a bright flower with a St. George ribbon. A child's palm will act as a flower.
- To do this, cover the inside of the palm with thick paints. Next, gently apply it to the white sheet.
- Cut out strips from green paper, the thickness of which should not exceed 2 cm. Draw the stem for the flower with paints. For the St.George ribbon, draw a preliminary sketch with a pencil. Color the element orange and black.
You can add congratulations to the composition. It can be written by adults. The finished product can be presented to veterans for the May 9 holiday.
Airplane from a plastic bottle
Products made from scrap materials are unusual. For example, from a simple plastic bottle, you can create a beautiful airplane that children will use for everyday play.
What is needed for its construction? For a creative lesson, use:
- A plastic bottle with a volume of 0.5 liters;
- Green cardboard;
- Red acrylic paint.
Progress:
- We make through holes in the side parts. Cut out two rectangles from the green cardboard. Their length should be at least 15 cm and a width of 5 cm. Carefully insert the cardboard blanks into the plastic frame. Draw red stars on the surface of each wing.
- The propeller is made of cardboard. Cut a through hole in the middle. Thanks to him, it will be possible to fix the part in the area of the cover.
- We proceed to the tail section. It consists of 3 rectangles. We glue the parts at an angle of 45 degrees. Using a heat gun, we fix the part on the surface of the plastic bottle. The combat aircraft is ready!
