Figures from geometric shapes for kids. Master class "Geometric shapes

This article is intended for applique classes with children. Geometric applique will unobtrusively introduce the baby to the basic properties of objects: size, color, shape. The drawing is made up of simple geometric shapes. The application is associated with cognitive activity and has a huge impact on the development of the creative and mental abilities of the child. It will be of great benefit, it will help to develop labor skills.
Starting to introduce the child to the application, you need to remember three main rules:
1) the child cannot hold his attention for a long time
2) he must be interested
3) the child needs praise for the work done.

Before starting classes, cut out geometric shapes of different colors and sizes. pay attention to the baby on the figure, its color and size. Please help put the pieces in the correct order.

Flower applique.

If the child is still very small, then the application is best done by joint efforts. Lay out the flower on paper and ask the baby to repeat after you. Show how to use glue and glue the picture.
At first, use 2-3 geometric shapes in the application, for better memorization, pronounce the names and comment on your actions.

The flower is made of circles and squares. The circles are the petals of the flower, and the squares laid out in the form of a rhombus are the stem of the flower.

Application caterpillar.

The caterpillar is made entirely of circles and only a small triangle was required for the mouth.

Butterfly application.

Butterfly application will be more complicated, it includes new geometric shapes. Increases the number and size of parts.

It is worth trying to make a general picture with the child of geometric shapes. To begin with, work out each element of the future picture separately (flower, butterfly, caterpillar), and later collect the overall picture.
When doing appliqué with a child, ask him who he portrays? Who are the caterpillars and what do they turn into? By conducting classes in this way, the child develops his horizons.

Winter picture.

If it's winter outside, then you should try to make a simple winter geometric appliqué.

House application.

First, we try to lay out a house of figures, and then glue it onto the base for the application.

Christmas tree application.

We collect the Christmas tree from green triangles, and from small circles we make beads for the Christmas tree.

Application snowman.

With a snowman, everything is also simple, it consists of circles of different sizes, one trapezoid and two different small triangles.

Application of geometric shapes "Cats and mice".

Geometric paper application. Garland.

Our task is to teach the kid to stick exactly geometric shapes: circles and ovals, rhombuses and triangles, squares and rectangles, alternating them in color and shape. Show your child how to make a paper appliqué imitating a garland on a string of circles and flags.

Ship made of geometric shapes.

The geometric applique should be interesting, not very complicated and not very simple, only then can the child be interested in work. Cut out various geometric shapes from colored paper and construct various ships from them. It can be one large ship or several small ones, with sails or a pipe. Glue the result you like on paper.

And if some of you think that working on the creation of applications is a child's work - they are deeply mistaken, skilled craftsmen create amazingly delicate and jewelry works from this technique. And then, people around cannot understand at all from what material this or that is prepared. The main thing in any technique is to have a strong desire and desire to create something very beautiful and quickly go towards the intended goal.

Well, for your children, such an activity will always be interesting, even for the most restless ones. After all, this is, first of all, the creation of some kind of element that is involved with cutting out figures, and children always like to cut out. Then work with glue - which often the kids also like, especially when you can get dirty and pour something, where without it.

The main thing for work, you should have at hand such tools that will help you in creating geometric shapes: a ruler, a compass, a square, various drawing patterns, scissors, a simple pencil, PVA glue, glue brushes, cardboard, an album for drawing and, of course , colored paper.

With the help of such shapes, you can first of all create bookmarks for books. They will be useful not only in work, but also as a gift from the kids. After all, any work done by the hands of a child brings positive, and refined feelings from a small soul.

Children enjoy doing paper crafts. Many of them love paper applications and with pleasure in the classroom they perform tasks related to gluing colored paper. However, small children cannot yet use scissors so well. Therefore these triangle geometric appliqués Designed for preschoolers and 1st grade students.

A teacher or kindergarten teacher will be able to quickly cut out the necessary details from colored paper and distribute them to the children. As a sample for the application, I suggest the work "Herringbone" and "Fish", but you can think of other funny shapes from triangles.

How to make an appliqué with triangles

  • sheets of colored paper (two colors, for example, red and yellow),
  • thick sheets of white paper
  • tassels,
  • scissors (for adults).

Application from triangles "Fish"

  1. For children who cannot cut out on their own, the parent (teacher) cuts out geometric shapes - triangles - from colored paper according to a pattern. The triangles will be different sizes.
  2. Each child (in the garden) is given boxes with cut out colored parts, a sheet of white thick paper, and glue.
  3. Children should be shown a sample so that they know what application they will perform in class. You need to pay attention to the shape (say that these are triangles), the size of the parts (ask to find small and large ones), ask what color the parts are in their boxes.
  4. After that, you need to tell that this application is not easy. To make it work, you need to correctly lay out the triangles on your sheet of paper. For children to think, you can give them unlined patterns. If there is no time for this task, then you need to show the patterns by which the children will assemble the figure.
  5. Let the child choose the template. You can even invite the children to assemble all the templates in turn (without glue, just placing triangles on paper). This is one of the lessons in logic.
  6. After the fish template is chosen, the teacher shows how to glue triangles of colored paper with glue and how to properly stick them to a sheet of white paper (strictly in the center to make it beautiful). Often, children begin to glue triangles without first decomposing the entire figure - as a result, the tail or fins of the fish crawl out of the edges of the sheet.


7. The parent (teacher) must not only praise the child for the work done, but also point out mistakes (if any). Each work is signed (date, year, name of the child). 8. After drying, the work can be put on an exhibition or on a shelf in a child's room.

Application from triangles "Herringbone"

This application is similar to the one described above, but a little more complicated. Details are glued in a certain sequence and with overlap.

Application materials:

  • sheets of colored paper (two colors - green and brown),
  • thick sheets of white paper
  • glue (glue stick for kids),
  • tassels,
  • scissors (for adults).

  1. The parent (teacher), as in the application "Fish", cuts out triangles from colored paper and distributes them to the children.
  2. Before class, children should be shown the finished work, told how beautiful and interesting it is. Next, you need to draw the attention of the children to the fact that this application is with a trick. To make it beautiful, you need to glue triangles with overlap.
  3. Children lay out triangles on a sheet on their own. An adult explains in what order the figures should be glued to make a beautiful Christmas tree.
  4. Children stick triangles on a white sheet of paper according to the template (an adult corrects the work, helps to correct mistakes). Be sure to praise the child at the end of the lesson.
  5. Finished works are dried under pressure, and then exhibited at the exhibition.

Applications from geometric shapes

In general, applications can be made from any geometric shapes. We have already analyzed triangles, but there are many other shapes: circles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses. Together with the children, let's try to assemble funny applications according to the finished scheme.

Here the boys like crafts with a variety of equipment and cars more. Try to offer kids - boys applications with a crane, a typewriter, a steam locomotive, a boat or a rocket.

All that is required of the parent is to print a template on a piece of paper. The kid cuts out the details according to the model and sticks them on the base. The picture can be supplemented with an inscription or color the background with colored pencils or felt-tip pens.

I know children, and I’ll warn you right away - if a child likes such developmental activities, then you won’t get off with one template. It's better to print several at once.

Girls will also not be left without applications. They can be offered templates for applications with animals. The technology for performing such applications does not differ from the above-described version for machines. Print out the template, the child cuts out geometric shapes from paper and sticks them on the outline. As a result, a beautiful and entertaining application with a mouse, a fox, a squirrel, a horse and other animals.

Don't forget, you don't just need to give your child a picture and scissors with glue. Be sure to repeat the names of geometric shapes, and at the same time the colors. Help and tell the baby if he forgot the name of the figure. Then your classes will be a real developmental creativity.

Geometric applique lessons from simple shapes (triangles) are accessible and simple. Believe me, these classes will appeal to the guys.

If you want to know what applications of geometric shapes are and want to teach kids this art form, then this article is for you.

The applications that children make are sometimes very simple and naive, but they help children develop their skills in cutting, drawing and imagining. And also, children are madly in love with sticking colored shapes on the background.

First, the children glue the figures that the adults cut out onto the background. But time does not stand still - children grow up. And over time, children learn to cut, paste and create themselves. And then the child should be taught the most interesting types of applications.

Making geometric applications, the child develops an eye and spatial thinking, learns to combine colors and gets acquainted with geometric shapes.

The simplest application of geometric shapes can be considered the drawing up of patterns on a long strip of paper. Then you can move on to the design of various objects, transport, animals, plants. Thanks to this, the child develops creative abilities.

For 1st grade students

Children are already more or less proficient with scissors when they enter 1st grade. Templates in this case will become indispensable helpers. With the help of them, children will be able to cut out the necessary details from paper, and it will be easier for them to create and learn how to make applications. Here are some simple geometric appliqué templates:

Here are some examples of work for children in grade 1 and their schemes:

Application "House in the village":

It seems to be nothing complicated, no complicated details. Everything is simple. House, sun, tree, but there is something unusual in this picture. In addition, the child will make this picture even more unique, because it will be the embodiment of his imagination and thinking.

Application "Cat with a kitten":

To make an appliqué of this kitty with a kitten, the child will need to cut out a wide variety of shapes and make a complete image out of them to his liking.

Application "Merry caterpillar":

A cheerful caterpillar will amuse your kids. It is interesting not only to consider, but also to do. After all, these circles and other details can be arranged in different ways. And each child will get their own unique funny caterpillar.

To make the above applications of the house, cat and caterpillar, you can simply print out the diagrams, then the children can cut out the figures and stick them on paper. But it's too easy. So you can make templates with your own hands. And then the children will cut out parts from different colors on them and stick them.

For children 3-5 years old

There are also applications designed for preschool children. They are quite simple. In the course of work, children will learn a lot. And most importantly, they will get acquainted with geometric shapes and where they can be applied.

Having printed templates, you need to make an application in the following sequence:

  1. Cut out templates from paper;
  2. Glue the parts to their respective places.

Here are some other similar works.

These applications are quite simple to make, so they are suitable for young children, so to speak, beginners in applications. You can choose from a wide range of designs and print the one that suits your child best.

A smaller part of the image will serve as templates, with which you will need to cut out details of different colors, stick them on a larger part, which will serve as a background for the application.

The application is performed in the following order:

  1. Cut out the templates that are on the side of the page. Get templates;
  2. Next, you need to cut out the details from the papers of the desired colors according to the prepared templates and stick them in their respective places.

For 4th grade kids

In the course of making applications from geometric shapes for children who go to grade 4, the guys will learn to clearly mark the details according to the template, to assemble individual geometric shapes into a full-fledged image.

First, the children should be shown what the work will be like when it is completed. Children will need: colored paper, cardboard, glue, ruler, pencil, scissors and a brush.

To begin with, children need to prepare a workplace and prepare everything necessary for making an application.

See if everything is ready for the lesson? We need: colored paper, cardboard, glue; ruler, pencil, scissors, eraser, brush; jar for glue, napkin, oilcloth.

In this order, you need to act to make the application:

  1. Preparing the base
  2. We translate and cut out the details according to the template;
  3. We create an application.

Let's get started with the application of the geometric shapes "Cat and Mouse":

These are the details needed for mice and cheese. Templates for them are easy to make. Cut out too. But it is very interesting to compose such beauty from simple geometric shapes.

Next, we move on to the cat. These are the details needed to make a cat. As you can see, among the materials there is a felt-tip pen, with which children can realize their imagination and draw a unique muzzle for a cat.

Our wonderful work is ready.

There are many more applique ideas for kids. For example, such a beautiful boat. It can be done according to the diagram below.

An interesting idea is a garland of geometric shapes. It can be made in the form of a postcard and congratulate someone on the holiday with it.

A very cool idea for 4th grade kids would be an application of geometric shapes on a free topic, that is, using heuristic methods. This is done very simply.

A variety of figures are printed on white paper, in different sizes. Then they are cut out. Then they take dark-colored cardboard and glue all these figures on it so that a certain pattern is obtained. This perfectly develops hand motor skills, since there are a lot of figures for cutting, and imagination, because children need to come up with images themselves. The figures are the same, but the applications are completely different for everyone. This is the point. Below are examples of work:

Application of geometric shapes "Cats and mice".




Application is an ancient method of developing children of all ages, which includes a huge number of varieties: from geometric shapes, from fabric, from natural materials, subject, plot, decorative, and so on.

Benefits of applique classes for children of all ages

Application classes will make an extremely positive contribution to the development of the child:

Preparation of the workplace and materials

Whether it's a simple application of geometric shapes or pasting a long story using the provided data, due attention must, first of all, be given to the organization of the workplace of the child:


  • scissors (light, small, comfortable for a child's hand, always with blunt ends);
  • a base that will become the base for the application (for example, a white sheet of paper, cardboard, a wooden block);
  • glue (preferably glue - a pencil that will not spread, spill or stain, unlike the usual liquid form);
  • working material (what the application will be made of: colored paper, fabric, cereals, foil, flowers, and so on).

Working with Templates

For the correct organization of classes with applications with children, it is important to work out every little thing, in particular templates. Applications for the smallest (3-5 years), for example, from geometric shapes, leave no questions about creating templates for them. In this case, it is necessary to create a drawing, indicating on it the places where the baby should glue the pre-cut elements.

In situations with preparation for applications for older children, certain difficulties may arise if the organizer does not have good drawing skills. The described situation is due to the need to create more complex sketches, circling and cutting out on their own, which children can get the necessary components of a future craft.

The algorithm for working with templates is identical for each type of application:

  • create a sketch in color;
  • copy the original drawing;
  • cut (for children 3-5 years old) or divide with bright lines (for children from 5 years old) the image copied in color into the constituent parts of the future work;
  • glue the elements on the prepared base.

Figure templates for the younger group of kindergarten

Applications from geometric shapes - the most suitable a way to develop fine motor skills and creative thinking of children in the younger group of kindergarten:


Figure templates for the older group of kindergarten

Application of geometric shapes, addition of the plot of the picture, "drawing up" a picture of animals, birds, by gluing eyes, paws, wings, and so on to them - the main types of applicative activities with children 4-5 years old:


Figure templates for kindergarten preparatory group

Tasks for children over 5 years old, as a rule, they mean not only cut and paste, but also independently prepare a template for the application:


Figure templates for grade 1

An application of geometric shapes will certainly succumb to schoolchildren who know how to handle scissors carefully.

Students are given complicated tasks with a large number of patterns - circles, polygons, for cutting which will require strength, perseverance, accuracy.

Applications:


Figure templates for grade 2

Scroll:


Figure templates for grade 3

Scroll:


Figure templates for grade 4

Scroll:


Application on the theme "Summer"

Applications of the forest, the sun, mushrooms, trees, grass, made of geometric shapes of various materials, perfectly reveal the theme of summer in the work of the child:


As a result of the work, the child receives an image of a sunny day with all the components of the summer period.

Application on the theme "Autumn"

In the work on the "autumn" applications, you can, as an option, use natural material:


As a result of the simplest manipulations, the child will receive an application illustrating the details of the autumn season.

Application on the theme "Winter"

Work with a winter theme can be done from a variety of materials: cotton wool, paper, fabric, and so on. The most useful from the point of view of the development of fine motor skills in children is an application consisting of small pieces of paper. The child should not cut out these components, but tear the paper as small as possible. As a basis, it is better to use a dark blue sheet of colored cardboard.

Performance:

  1. To begin with, children need to prepare templates for houses, trees, consisting of geometric shapes. (rectangles - houses; squares - windows of houses; elongated rectangles - tree trunks; triangles - roofs of houses).
  2. Having glued the received details of the application into place, you can begin the process of tearing the paper.
  3. Small pieces of white paper, obtained as a result of the work done, are randomly attached to the roof, branches, ground, depicting snowfall or snowdrifts.

As a result of creativity on a sheet of paper, an image of a winter city is obtained.

Application on the theme "Space"

When working on a "space" application, you can offer the child to "compose" constellations:


As a result of creativity, various constellations of the night sky should be obtained: Ursa Major / Minor, Gemini, Canis Major, and so on.

Drawing patterns from geometric shapes

Drawing up a pattern of geometric shapes helps to master or consolidate knowledge about their names in children, develops fine motor skills, creative thinking, and imagination. This type of activity consists in gluing the simplest figures in a chaotic manner to obtain a pattern or classifying components according to size, shape, color, and so on.

To generate a child's interest in this type of application, an adult invites him to decorate a napkin.

Having provided the student with templates, it is necessary to show him a sample, a copy of which should be the result of the work. An alternative to a model can be cooperation with a teacher, where, hearing the name (color, size) of a geometric figure previously cut out according to a template, the child must choose the one and stick it in the indicated place.

It is important for the organizer of application classes to remember the need to:

  • competently equip the workplace of the “student”: remove the excess, prepare the necessary;
  • in the classroom, resort to gaming techniques to keep the interest of the child;
  • use a variety of materials for applications in order to best develop children's tactile sensations;
  • choose topics that correspond to the interests of a particular age group;
  • ask the child to express a personal opinion after the work done for further analysis of errors in the organization of the process;
  • do not limit the child's imagination and allow him to refine the lesson plan with applications in the course of work.

Applications made in the style of the simplest gluing of pictures from geometric shapes, along with more complex options, should, first of all, bring joy to children.

Definitely, the “teacher” should interest the children before formulating the task, praise them in the process, and evaluate the merits of the work already completed. Enjoying classes, the child will not only develop, but also enjoy spending time in the company of peers or parents, which means that appliqué classes will be firmly rooted in his life for a long time.
