Working on appliqués not only teaches the baby to work, but teaches the correct choice and placement of objects of various sizes and colors in the right places.
If you “turn on” your imagination at full capacity, you can imagine almost any object consisting of a number of circles or of several halves of them.
Applications for children from paper circles can seriously interest the kid. It is only necessary to explain to him how this can be done and what materials will be required for such work.
Preparation
For crafts from paper circles and semicircles you will need:
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Pencil or felt-tip pen;
- Compass.
When working with babies, you will need to look at the pictures on the Internet. If necessary, you can print images and cut templates.
Various options
Examining photographs of handicrafts made from paper circles, we see that with the help of such geometric shapes it is possible to make animals, insects, various fairy-tale and cartoon characters.
Consider a few of the simplest options that the smallest children can perform.
Teddy bear
The most popular topic for paper crafts is the making of animals loved by babies such as bears, elephants, various insects (butterflies, caterpillars) or bright flowers.
To make a cute bear cub, you will need to carry out the following procedures:
- A large circle (the body of the beast) is outlined with a compass and then cut out of dark brown paper;
- A smaller circle (head) and five of an even smaller diameter are cut out of the lighter brown color;
- Four small circles will become the paws of a bear cub;
- The fifth circle is cut into two parts, each of which will serve as an ear;
- Cut out two small circles of white paper, and one larger orange;
- Black dots are applied to white blanks and we get eyes;
- Several strokes are applied to the orange circle (muzzle) - the mouth and nose of the beast.
It remains to glue all parts of the bear on a sheet of paper.
Elephant
The stages of work will practically not differ from the previous version in the manufacture of the cub of the largest land mammal on the planet.
- For this work, you will need the same materials and tools as in the case of the teddy bear. The only difference will be in the color of the paper - you need to use either a bluish or gray material.
- It will take seven circles.
- The largest is the body of a baby elephant, two smaller ones are for the head and ear. The two smallest will become legs. The remaining two circles are cut into four semicircles. Two of them will be used to make the trunk, and a couple more will be used for the feet.
- The gluing should start with the body (the largest circle), then the head is glued. Stepping back a centimeter from the head, the ear is glued. The trunk is formed from two semicircles. Two small circles and two semicircles will become the legs and feet of the baby elephant.
It remains only to add an eye (the baby elephant is drawn in profile), a small tail and a cute animal is ready.
Owl is a wise head
Another applique made from circles of colored paper for children will be making a bird, a symbol of wisdom.
- You will need to prepare one large brown circle. He will fulfill the role of both the body and the head. Two semicircles (gray or brown) will go to the owl's wings. One small circle should be divided into four parts.Attach one to the head (beak), painted yellow, use the other two quarters (black) as paws.
- It remains to make two semicircles for the ears, draw the eyes, glue all the blanks and the owl is ready. To complete the picture, you can glue some thin twig on which an owl will sit, preparing for a night hunt.
Insect
One of the crafts from circles that can be given as a task in kindergarten is making a caterpillar.
- This is a very simple task that little ones can do on their own.
- Here the child can give free rein to his imagination and cut (under the supervision of parents) six to seven circles of either the same color, or make a caterpillar in all the colors of the rainbow.
- It will not be difficult either to stick the circles on a cardboard box, or to decorate the eyes, mouth and small horns to the insect's head.
Flowers
The applique in the form of a vase with flowers is very bright and effective.
- To begin with, you will need to cut out circles from multi-colored paper, and then cut them into halves.
- The robot can also be made of white paper, and then painted in the desired colors.
- The number of semicircular blanks depends on how many petals the baby is going to make flowers with leaves from.
- One, the largest semicircle, will become a vase. Five to six small semicircles will become the petals of the flower.
- Here it is the child's full will, in what color to paint them.
- It should be explained to the baby that for more naturalness and beauty it is necessary to glue a couple of green petals to each flower.
How many flowers to place in a vase also depends on the child's desire.
Cheburashka
Crafts from circles of paper can also become a school assignment in elementary grades. Usually, such tasks are given to children when they begin to acquaint them with various geometric shapes.
The task of the teacher is to do this in the simplest possible way, and what could be easier than making your favorite cartoon character?
At the very beginning of work, the child will have to prepare several circles of different diameters:
- One is the largest for the torso;
- The second is smaller for the head;
- Two more circles will have to become ears;
- Two semicircles will become the hands of Cheburashka, and two more (slightly larger in diameter) will become his legs.
It remains only to glue all the blanks on a sheet of thick paper, and the school assignment is completed.
Crocodile Gena
Well, how can Cheburashka do without his best friend? Moreover, making it is no more difficult than making a former nameless toy, which no one in the store approached.
All work will consist in preparing semicircles from green paper:
- The two largest semicircles will go to the crocodile's body and head.
- Four more blanks of smaller diameter will become the paws of Cheburashka's friend.
- Six to eight small semicircles should be positioned like a comb all over the crocodile's back.
It remains to add eyes and, if desired, an accordion. Here are the inseparable friends together again, now on the children's applique!
