Black and white finger painting templates. Incredible finger coloring

15.06.2019

We started painting at about 1 year old. At first Antoshka did it with finger paints in the bathroom. A couple of months later, the husband made an easel, and the son got acquainted with a brush and gouache.

Basically, the child draws whatever he wants with the materials that he wanted or that I give. Free drawing should be practiced as often as possible. But not limited to just this.

In this article, I will share drawing ideas with children 1 - 3 years old, talk about various drawing techniques with paints, pencils and other materials, even shaving foam.

You can also download coloring pages for the little ones and templates for drawing with fingers.

I will not talk long about the benefits of drawing with children. I think you already know perfectly well that it develops a child's imagination, creativity, improves hand coordination and fine motor skills of the fingers.

How to draw with a 1-3 year old child

In the article about applications, I talked about the book E.A. Yanushko... This author also has a book "Drawing with young children"(Labyrinth, Ozone). This is an excellent teaching aid for parents and teachers, and a CD with demo materials is also attached to it.

The book presents methodology for drawing lessons with children 1 - 3 years old... I take many ideas from it.

Before you start painting with your child, here are some simple tips from me:

Show your child different drawing techniques (poking, brushing, stamping, etc.) gradually, starting with the simplest ones.
I highly recommend buying or making your own easel for painting. It is relevant as soon as the child learns to walk.
Draw as often as possible.
Use a wide variety of painting materials.
Try to immediately teach your child to hold the brush and pencil correctly. But if the child stubbornly refuses to do this, do not insist.
Give your child maximum freedom. Let the child draw what he wants and how he wants. Never ask him to paint the way you want. Below I will talk about various techniques for drawing with children, but if the child refuses to do something, do not insist.

Don't fix the child! Let him paint purple sky and red grass. So what if cows don't fly, and there are no fences on the rainbow. Your child's mind is still free of clichés. He is a real creator.

The more different art materials you use, the better.

You need to start with the easiest to learn (for example, finger paints), eventually reaching the usual pencils.

We draw on:

plain paper,
old wallpaper,
easel,
magnetic board,
plaster figures for coloring,
wood, plywood,
fabrics,
tiles in the bathroom and in the bath itself.

For drawing with children 1 - 3 years old, you can use the following materials:

Finger paint;
gouache, watercolor (and, accordingly, brushes of different sizes);
felt-tip pens (water-based and regular);
crayons (wax and regular);
wax pencils;
dry pastel;
pencils (preferably soft);
gel and ballpoint pens;
foam rubber, sponges;
cotton swabs and cotton wool;
stamps;
semolina;
shaving foam.

You will also need a glass of water(preferably non-spill) and palette for mixing paints.

As I said, we started to paint with finger paints at about 1 year old. And they did it in the bathroom. Then they switched to paper.

Finger paint are safe and do not require the use of water. You can replace them with gouache.

The easiest thing to do is draw dots with your fingers:

seeds for birds, peas;
apples, berries, cones, balls on the tree;
seeds for watermelon;
drops of rain, snow, traces of animals;
spots to giraffe, ladybug, leopard.

You can draw points with your fingers using ready-made templates.

And of course, let the kid smear the paint all over the sheet with his fingers and palms.

Drawing techniques with paints and pencils

All drawing techniques involve the use of different materials depending on the age and capabilities of the child. We give paints, crayons, felt-tip pens to a very kid, and pencils, etc. to an older child.

I list all techniques in ascending order of difficulty.

Free drawing

My son calls this painting "kalyaki-malyaki".

We introduce the child to drawing materials and give him the opportunity to experiment. At the same time, there is no need to give any tasks to draw something specific.

Practice freehand drawing as often as possible at any child's age. It perfectly develops imagination.

Painting a sheet

We give the child paints, crayons, etc. and we propose to draw:

grass for a ladybug,
water for the fish,
sand, snow.

The kid needs to paint over the sheet, and not draw individual blades of grass, etc. A one-year-old will cope with such a task.

It's also great here to use paint rollers- simple or curly.

Painting an element

We draw the base (small images of animals and various objects) and ask the child to hide them by painting over:

hide a mouse, bunny, fish, bug;
hide the moon and stars, the sun, the car.

With very young children, it is interesting to do this with a sponge; with children from 2 years old, it is useful to paint over elements with pencils.

Draw dots

Pre-draw the basis for the drawing - a bird that the child will feed, a bush on which berries will grow, etc.

Invite your child to draw: seeds, berries, snow, raindrops, a bagel with poppy seeds, freckles, polka dots on the dress.

Straight lines: rays to the sun, stems to flowers, carrot tops, fence, cage, path, rails, paws to bugs, cactus needles, teeth to a comb.
Wavy: waves for a boat, worms, legs of an octopus, paths for a car, hair.
Broken lines: slides, a fence, icicles, a road with turns, thorns for a hedgehog.

Draw circles, ovals

Balls, apples, sweets, Christmas decorations, beads, balloons, mountain ash, berries, bubbles, eggs, cones.

Drawing spirals

Invite your child to draw: a snail's house, smoke, a bee's flight, curls, rings for a sheep, threads.

We finish drawing

Antoshka loves to play this game: I say that one boy drew different figures, but didn’t finish drawing, and I invite my son to finish drawing. He does it with great pleasure. This is how we finish drawing:

geometric figures;
I draw a road (broken line) and Antoshka repairs it,
any simple and understandable drawings.

Drawing simple plots

This is the most difficult stage in mastering the drawing. Here the child combines different drawing techniques as instructed by an adult.

Take turns asking your child to draw different elements that will eventually turn into something specific. But give your child the maximum freedom that is possible.

The purpose of this drawing is to show the child how the finished image appears in stages.

The child can hold the sponge with his hands or with a regular clothespin.

Simple painting with a sponge:

waves, sand, snowy landscape, grass, paths - by smearing;
snow, leaves - poked;
we hide bugs, fish, etc. - painting over.

Draw the shape you want on the sponge - a triangle, a tree, or even letters. Cut out. Invite your child to dip a sponge in gouache and make a print on paper.

The child applies the shaving foam to the template with a brush. Thus, you can cover a Christmas tree, a house with snow, make a snowdrift for a bear, etc.

The foam can also be applied to rubber toys. This is great fun for the kid.

I talked about drawing with semolina in articles about, as well as about. There are two ways to paint with semolina:

1 way... You need to pour some semolina on the surface with sides: a tray, a baking sheet, a lid from under a large shoe box. And then the child draws simple images with a finger or a brush - waves, paths, circles, etc., makes fingerprints or various objects.

2 way... Print out a coloring book for the little ones. Invite your baby to apply glue to the image and sprinkle it with semolina. It will rather be coloring with decoy. But you can just give the child a brush with glue and let him randomly apply it to the sheet, and then pour the semolina, shake it and see what pattern comes out.

I paint semolina with gouache. Instead of semolina, you can use sand for children's creativity.

On the Internet, I have repeatedly come across such an opinion that children should not be given coloring pages before school. They supposedly interfere with the creative development of the child. Some parents are simply afraid to give coloring pages to a child, while others have a real phobia.

I AM I don't see anything wrong with the coloring pages... But rather only a benefit if used in moderation. And the main priority is to give free drawing, which I mentioned above.

Offer toddlers simple coloring pages using 1 - 2 colors. From 1.5 years old, you can try coloring that involves the use of several colors. But all the same, the elements in them must be large. And you need to paint them, of course, with paints.

But it is better to paint small images with pencils or felt-tip pens, because the child simply does not have enough patience for large ones.

At 1 - 2 years old, children are also interested in water coloring(Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).

On sale there are ready-made ordinary coloring pages (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).

Stencils

Cut out shapes on the sheet that could be painted over with the same color. You can paint over both the shape itself and the background.

There is a large selection of inexpensive stencils on sale (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).

It may also be interesting for a child to trace and paint over various objects, his own hand.

All children draw with stamps with great pleasure. You can make them yourself. For example, from sponges for washing dishes, vegetables. You can use improvised items, toys as stamps.

And you can buy ready-made stamps or even whole sets for drawing (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).

I really hope this article was helpful to you. Draw with your child and then he will also love this activity. Which drawing method does your kid like best?

What a wonderful invention it is - finger paints! You can not be afraid to taste real finger paints, because they are made from natural and safe materials. These finger paints are easy to make on your own. Therefore, they can be used to draw from the moment the child learns to sit.

Finger painting is very beneficial for a child's early development. The most important advantage of finger paints is the ability to develop fine motor skills of the hand, and at the same time the child's speech. Learning to paint with your fingers and palm is the first step to painting with brushes. Touching such paints, the baby also develops the sensitivity of the palm and small fingers, and this, in turn, contributes to the fact that they begin to obey their master faster. Such classes help develop not only motor skills, but also perseverance, attention, concentration, teach how to handle paints and paper, learn colors, and increase intelligence at an early stage of development. In addition, finger painting contributes to the development of the child's imagination and creative thinking.

Finger coloring for kids are always in demand from parents. Why are they so attractive, and what is the use of such entertainment?

"The mind of a child is at the tips of his fingers" - so said the famous teacher V.А. Sukhomlinsky. It has long been known that tactile sensations (sensations from touch) directly affect the development of the nervous system and the brain. Finger painting and palms - this is a great way to develop not only fine motor skills, as some parents think, but also thinking and speech. Speech therapists in their work successfully use finger gymnastics precisely because the development of fine motor skills of the child's hand contributes to the development of speech at an early preschool age. The center responsible for movement is located in the brain near the center of speech, and when the first begins to work, it forces the second to develop.

Thus, finger painting develops and speech , and thinking , and fine motor skills , as well as tactile sensitivity, coordination of movements, color perception and form perception. It turns out that an activity that in itself brings joy and pleasure to a child has a huge developmental effect.

Some experts believe that it is possible to start finger painting classes as early as six months. But there are no clear recommendations - knowing your child, the peculiarities of his temperament and development, you yourself can determine the moment when you can acquaint him with colors.

How to choose finger coloring?

When you choose a finger coloring for a baby, pay attention to several points that must be followed:

The paper should be heavy (apply more ink with your finger than with a brush, and the thin paper will begin to bend and get wet).

Also, due to the thicker paint layer, the finished painting will take longer to dry, so it is better if the design of the coloring allows you to remove the sheets from it or lay it out without effort in a horizontal position so that the coloring does not collapse.

Drawing for kids should be simple and large, the images should be recognizable and positive, the picture should not be overloaded with details.

The outline of the shape to be painted must be bold enough.

Robins' publishing house has taken into account all these requirements when creating finger coloring pages. We try to ensure that working with our educational materials brings joy to both you and your baby!

So, you've decided that your kid is ready to paint. Where to begin?

Place your baby on your lap, place a large sheet of paper in front of you, and place cans of paint and water. It is necessary to choose a large sheet (A3 and more) so that the child, sitting on your lap, does not reach its edges. Small children are not guided by the edge of the sheet and are happy to "paint" the table, and themselves, and everything around them too. It is better to choose paints "basic", pure colors: red, yellow, blue, green. Dip your finger in a can of paint, leave a print on a piece of paper, or draw a line with your finger. Be sure to comment on your actions to the child, name the selected color.

For some children, for the first time, it is quite enough just to watch a parent draw. If the child has expressed a desire to draw too, take his hand in yours and dip the child's finger in the paint, and after that, together make several prints on paper. Guide the child's hand, show him the movement that you can use to leave paint on a sheet of paper. As soon as the child gets used to it, he will paint and draw himself.

Be sure to express approval of your child's actions. The first lessons in duration may not exceed a few minutes, until the child gets tired and distracted by something else.

As a rule, parents want to immediately draw something beautiful or at least something that can be identified (for example, a sun or a flower).
