Autumn is in full swing. In kindergartens autumn exhibitions of creative works of children and adults are held. At the beginning of autumn, crafts made from vegetables and fruits are exhibited, but, unfortunately, they are not durable and they are replaced by crafts made from leaves, cones, and other natural materials. I bring to your attention a master class on making a dress for a Barbie doll from spiria leaves (shrub). In autumn, spiria leaves take on a wonderful color.
For the dress you will need:
1) Leaves. (I have spiria leaves).
2) Cardboard.
3) PVA glue.
4) Rose flower petals, for decoration.
Let's get started.
1) We dry the leaves of spiria with an iron, through paper.
If the leaves are not dried, they lose color very quickly in the craft.
2) We make a cone out of cardboard - this is a skirt, the lower part of the dress.
3) We cut the cone and fix it on the doll.
4) Dilute PVA glue with water 1 x 1.
5) We glue dry leaves, smeared on both sides with diluted PVA glue, on the cone, starting from the bottom. PVA glue makes the leaves elastic and retains color.
The pattern on the leaves is varied - you can think of a pattern for a dress.
6) Headdress.
For some reason I wanted to make a scarf. The scarf is made of maple leaf.
7) Decorate the dress with rose petals. Rose petals are dried in the inflorescence.

These dolls have been around for many years. The mother of one of the pupils gave them to the children. Many years passed, of course, beautiful dresses fell into disrepair and.
Applications for children are one of the most favorite games and fun. But it is precisely by playing that the little ones learn! They are gradually mastered in the world of colors and shapes. And yet, they get satisfaction from the fact that they themselves, with their own hands, can create beauty. And if parents want to help their child, we will suggest ideas for colored paper applications.

For the little ones
Who said that the plot application is difficult? Even the younger group can handle some types of applications. We will now create a beautiful basket, and there are flowers in it.
What we may need for the application:
- Colored thin paper;
- Cardboard;
- Pencil;
- Stencils;
- Glue.
Hedgehog
Applications for the smallest are creativity, where the abilities of even the tiniest fidget are taken into account. And this example with a “hedgehog” is just right for little ones, which by the age of three they still cannot cut and glue, but they will do a great job of participating in the work. How?
Ladybug voluminous
This application is perfect for children 3-4 years old. It is very easy to make.
Application execution sequence: 
Flower meadow
This glade is an application in junior group for children 4 years old. It can be any size and color. And several kids can work together on it at the same time. It is important only for each of them to indicate his scope of work.
Lesson in 3 stages: 
Little funny chicken
You can make holiday cards in a very original way. This will help the application in the preparatory group.
You need to cut out the following details: 
chick
Toddlers think abstractly, for them such a trifle as the color or shape of a character does not matter, if at the same time his image conveys emotions similar to children's. But how to make the application just such that the baby feels a kindred spirit? Here's a great example!
Meet Chypa! Him:
- The body is a square;
- Eye - 2 circles (black and white, and white with a little more);
- The beak is a triangle;
- The paws are also triangular;
- Wing - a semicircle;
- The crest is a crescent.
And now, trust the little one, let him choose what will be what color! Explain that each figure indicates why the bird is doing this. Is it really interesting? So, finding the right stencils for applications is already a game. It remains only to glue everything!
Sun
We complicate the task. We have to help the kids learn how to make a panel application. There are many details that are both a background and an independent part of the picture. The central part is the mischievous muzzle of the smiling Sun.
Leave the smile to your kitten. Or you can print ready-made muzzles:
And do yourself the preparation of yellow, golden and orange circles of different sizes.
We collect a picture on a blue background.
You can stick circles in the form of rays, or in a circle, the main thing is to alternate their colors. The Sun itself will be placed in the middle of the panel.
Lilac
Probably, a broken appliqué is the sweetest and most gentle thing you can imagine. She just looks so fluffy that I can't believe it's all made. A torn appliqué acquires such an effect due to small uneven parts assembled into one composition.

And since it consists of two bases and 16 circles, we print out templates for applications, this will allow you to quickly, and not linger on the preparatory work, proceed to the design of the toy.
More about preparations. The base is 2 circles of the same size, drawn with a figure eight. Additional circles are equal in diameter to those in the base.
We also need a rope 4 times the length of the base. and decorative beads. 
glade
Glade is a multi-composition application in kindergarten for children 5-6 years old. Here we will get acquainted with the models that must first be made, and only then fixed on the basis. Volumetric types of applications are made in such an original pattern.
Our base is blue cardboard. This is the sky. The sun is shining. Grass grows in which flowers bloom. And above them flutter butterflies and dragonflies. All parts are made of paper folded into an accordion. 
Piggy bank of master classes on applications + interesting ideas
It's nice to know that made by children different types appliqués, such as appliqués made of torn valuable paper, or of corrugated material, - good memory. Yes, and irrefutable evidence that our little ones have talent. The child is developing. And in this we help him.
This paper doll does not require special skill, it can be made for Shrovetide or March 8th. If you show imagination and decorate the doll's dress with multi-colored paper inserts, it can be even more beautiful and brighter.
Materials for work:
- Colored cardboard for the torso or dress;
- Color and White paper for face and hair;
- moving eyes;
- Glue, scissors, pencil, markers.
How to make a paper doll
First, draw on any sheet the desired sketch of the dress. This may be the simplest option, like mine: a triangle with a step at the bottom and sleeves on the sides with arms. Cut out your drawing to be the stencil.
Circle the dress on the cardboard, then step back 3-4 centimeters and once again circle your drawing with the bottom pointing towards the previous one.
For convenience, connect them with a line and cut out the doll blank. The two lines that form are the places of the folds.
Bend the paper in these places, lift the parts of the doll and glue around the arms and a little at the top. The doll will take a stable position.
Now it's time to move on to the head of the paper doll. To do this, cut out a circle from white or any other light-colored paper, for example, light beige, pale pink. Cut from colored paper prepared for hair, 6 thin strips.
Glue the strips in the center so that the tips do not overlap each other.
Twist with a pencil, if curls are needed, then with a toothpick.
Glue on the sides of the head, and add a bow or flower in the middle. Part of the ponytail can be turned out onto the forehead so that there is a bang, but I cut out a small piece of yellow paper separately, cut one side of it into thin strips and glued the bangs.
I glued the head to the body, the eyes to the face, painted a nose, a smile, eyelashes, a blush. You could also add a scattering of perky freckles.
In the end, I painted the dress and the paper doll is ready. Alternatively, the dress can be pasted over with multi-colored paper inserts, flowers, patterns.
It is easy for children to be carried away by something new and interesting. If the child is already bored with drawing or modeling, you can invite him to make crafts from bright autumn leaves. This process is utterly fascinating - amazing things are born from simple dried leaves with the help of glue, threads and other improvised devices. Having engaged in applications or making vases and bouquets, the child will not only be able to develop his creative skills and imagination, but also get to know environment. Collecting a herbarium for crafts is an excellent opportunity to teach your child to distinguish between different tree species. So, what can be done from the leaves?
Preparing leaves for crafts
For the manufacture of any leaf craft, only well-dried material is needed, fresh leaves will not work. Preparation of leaves takes a long time, so you have to be patient. In addition, you need to dry the material correctly, here are the basic rules:
- If the evenness of the leaves is not important for crafts, they can be put in a spacious container (for example, a large wicker basket) and leave outdoors. So the leaves dry quickly, and air circulation will not allow mold to develop.
- To get perfectly smooth leaves, you need to lay them between book pages or landscape sheets under pressure. Carefully spread the material between the sheets of books or albums. It will take at least 14 days for the material to dry completely and be ready for use.
- If you do not want to wait a long time, you can use a special herbarium press. To do this, fold a stack of leaves, alternating each layer with newsprint or unnecessary sheets. In a few days, the material for crafts will be ready.

To make the stems of the leaves more durable, they must first be soaked in a hot solution of glycerin (1 to 2) and left in this form for 10 days in a dark, cool place .
- Next, we decorate the trunk and soil of the tree with dry moss, bark, and beads.

The doll is one of the most popular children's toys. Playing with it, the child reflects his life experience, repeats the actions of adults. This develops fine motor skills, activates lexicon, children think about their own human nature. In addition, dolls are also involved in the lives of preschoolers: they come to their classes, "observe" regime moments. In the older group, this toy becomes the object for an application on the topic “Our new doll”.
Features of conducting applicative classes in the senior group
The doll is essentially a reflection of the human image. This toy can depict people of any age and gender, express a certain character. In addition, the doll can symbolize a certain time of the year or be a fantasy anthropomorphic creature like Maslenitsa or a Slavic amulet.
At the applicative lesson, preschoolers are invited to transfer one of the indicated images using scissors, glue, paper and other auxiliary materials.
Depicting a familiar doll, children clarify their knowledge about the structure of a person, the ratio of the size of parts of his body.
Note that the image of fictional objects is usually given to children easily, because by their nature they are inventors and dreamers. Depicting such a doll, the child does not need to pay much attention to proportions.
Often the applique image of a doll is made up of simple geometric shapes. More hard work- cutting out individual symmetrical parts (dress or sundress) from paper folded in half. The application on the theme "Doll" also exercises preschoolers in cutting shapes in a straight line, along a fold.
IN senior group the guys are already good at cutting out circles and ovals (doll's head) from squares and rectangles.
During a lesson on this topic, it is appropriate to use individual approach: for example, guys who quickly cope with the main work can decorate the doll's clothes with an ornament of geometric shapes or abstract elements.
An important part of any artistic activity is the analysis of finished works. The guys evaluate their compositions and crafts of their comrades. The teacher, with the help of leading questions, finds out what was the most interesting in the work, and what, on the contrary, caused difficulties. You can invite preschoolers to come up with a name for their doll and talk about her character.
The process of preparing for the lesson, options for manufacturing parts
Pupils of the older group are able to make not very complex details for appliqué dolls on their own: for example, cut out round and oval shapes from squares and rectangles, cut a sheet of paper into strips along straight lines or folds. It is clear that preschoolers independently tear paper into pieces for crafts using a tear-off technique. In this case, the parts should be approximately the same size: not too large, but not small. The guys can cut the strips into squares for appliqué in a mosaic way.
Children of five or six years old also independently cut out symmetrical clothes for the doll - dresses and sundresses of a simple style.
However, if the application involves the use of more intricate silhouettes that need to be correctly superimposed on each other, then the teacher provides them to the children.
Recall that in any case, the teacher provides the children with more details than is required to complete the task. In this case, the guys will not be afraid to accidentally spoil some element.
Types of application for a doll in a beautiful dress in the senior group, appropriate for making a composition
In addition to the classical technique based on various tricks cutting out details, pupils of the older group can make a doll in various non-traditional techniques.
For example, children are always interested in a broken application, which, moreover, develops very well fine motor skills hands The teacher distributes silhouettes of the doll to preschoolers, fill them with details of different colors, denoting body parts and clothing in this way.
Breakaway application
The work in mosaic technique is based on the same principle, only here the children are provided with ready-made details - small circles, squares, triangles.
The bulk technique is very original, when cereals or leaves ground into crumbs are sprinkled on the silhouette of a doll smeared with glue.
Application from leaves, including ground into crumbs
In general, an applique of leaves is the most appropriate way to depict an Autumn doll.
Collective application from leaves
Application of leaves and berries
Weaving elements can be included in the applicative composition by making, for example, a doll's braid in this way. You can weave from paper strips, braid, thick yarn.
A voluminous application always looks spectacular. This effect is achieved by including origami elements in the craft, folding parts into an accordion, multi-layer appliqué (flounces are usually formed in this way fluffy skirt doll or her hairstyle). The volume is also achieved by putting cotton wool under the paper part - the composition is more expressive.
Note that often applicative techniques are not used in their pure form, but are combined in crafts.
The most suitable material for the job, including the design of the base, as well as accessories
Such a fascinating topic for appliqué as a doll involves the use of a variety of materials in the work. In addition to traditional colored paper and cardboard, you can create crafts from fabric, yarn, and even faux fur.
Application from fabric, yarn and fur
Colorful clothes for a doll work well with bright glossy magazine paper. In addition, shiny candy wrappers are very useful.
Application using candy wrappers
The original solution is a dress made of pencil shavings. This outfit looks just luxurious.
Pencil shaving appliqué
To create a gentle flowing sundress, you can use colored napkins, corrugated paper. Interesting solution- cut out a face from a photo, so you can depict a whole family - a grandmother, a daughter and a little granddaughter.
Application using photos
In addition, the face can be formed using cotton wool or a cotton pad by gluing button eyes on top.
Appliqué made of fabric, cotton and yarn
For the application of the doll, waste material is also useful, for example, wooden ice cream sticks, with which you can depict legs.
Application using waste material- ice cream sticks
As for the Maslenitsa doll, the most different material. So, big head can be made from a cardboard plate. Rays can diverge from it, like the sun, from cotton swabs, toothpicks, cut cocktail tubes, thick yarn, satin ribbons.
In the applicative composition, elements of drawing or modeling are always appropriate. So, the doll's face is very often drawn with felt-tip pens, and her paper outfit can be decorated with plasticine details.
Application with drawing elements
Options for applications on the topic "Our new doll" in the senior group
At the end school year(April) pupils of the senior group are traditionally offered an application on the topic “Our new doll”. In such a lesson, the guys create a paper image of a toy that the teacher shows them for the first time.
The topic of the lesson can be described as creating an image of a doll in beautiful dress. Here, more attention will be paid to the side of the toy, its aesthetic appearance, color, decor.
The doll can display not only female, but also male. Therefore, in the lesson, children can portray a puppet Dunno.
In addition, this theme can be interpreted as the creation of an image of a fantasy Maslenitsa doll. In this case, the application is carried out at the end of February, before seeing off the winter. A lesson in visual arts is best done immediately after cognitive activity on the topic "Shrovetide". Such an unusual doll, as a rule, includes the image of the sun (a head of a certain shape) and has a bright colorful outfit.
Another direction on this topic in the older group is an applique image of a Doll, symbolizing a certain season: Vesnyanka, doll Autumn, Winter, Summer. Such works represent images of familiar dolls, but dressed in the attributes of some season. For example, Autumn is dressed up in a dress from yellow leaves, Stonefly has a wreath of flowers, Winter has a dress of snowflakes, Summer doll is decorated with berry motifs. Note that the creation of a doll - the season can be arranged in a collective composition: on a piece of drawing paper, a subgroup of children glues parts of the body, and then decorates the silhouette with details.
Motivation options: a game situation, looking at a toy, fairy tales, a poem, a conversation, pictures, etc.
Any occupation of fine art will be more effective due to properly organized motivation. Since the guys will create an application on the theme "Doll", it is quite logical if this toy comes to their group and ask them to make girlfriends or sisters for themselves.
Another option for motivation is that children receive a letter from the director of a toy supermarket, who has had a problem: all the dolls disappeared on the eve of the store opening. Only the guys can help the director - make a lot of applicative pupae.
A lesson in the image of Slavic amulets can be organized as a journey into the past in a time machine. Preschoolers tie ribbons on their heads, close their eyes, say magic words (like “One, two, three - the past come to us”) and fall into ancient times. Inside an old chest, they find charm dolls. The teacher talks about the purpose of each of them. So, a rag kuvadka met a baby who had just been born. Her task was to neutralize the evil spirits waiting for the child and the woman in labor. Subsequently, such pupae were hung over the cradle, as rattles are now. Moreover, their number certainly had to be odd, otherwise the benefit could turn into harm.
The Krupenichka doll brought prosperity and a rich harvest to the house. Traditionally, she had no face.
The jug was stuffed with medicinal herbs. They strengthened health, had a sedative and antibacterial effect. Such a doll was invariably at the bedside of a sick person, and it was also often given to children for games.
Vesnyanka protected youth and beauty. This cheerful and mischievous doll was made by girls in early spring. Typically, she was bright hair, in colorful clothes - symbolized the spirit of nature awakening after hibernation. Girls often gave such dolls to each other.
The teacher shows preschoolers illustrations depicting ancient amulet dolls, and then offers to depict one of them.

In addition, there were ritual dolls, which also had their own purpose. The ten-handed woman was considered an au pair for women, the Lovebirds protected the newlyweds, and the Zhelannitsa, respectively, fulfilled her cherished dreams.
Attribute of ancient Slavic culture
As for the Vesnyanka doll, a separate lesson can be devoted to its image. In this case, it is worth talking about this amulet in more detail. In ancient times, the Slavs believed that Vesnyanka guards the keys to spring waters and, if desired, can let water in or, conversely, send frosts. She was also called the whistler, by analogy with the sound of the spring winds. Let us note that different peoples the appointment of Vesnyanka was somewhat different. So, in some places, the life of this doll was only one day, after which it was burned. In other places stoneflies were hung on trees. Vesnyanka traditionally had a loop to make it convenient to hang the chrysalis on a finger. They made a doll from small scraps of fabric, patches of bright spring colors.
Ural Vesnyanki were distinguished by a long scythe bright color, as if shimmering with mountain gems. Here it is appropriate to mention the image of the Mistress copper mountain- forever young and immortal.
Application on the theme "Doll in Russian national costume» It's good to start by looking at the appropriate toy.
Toy to use in class
The teacher tells preschoolers about the history of the Russian sundress. This outfit was casual and festive. The second option was embroidered with expensive threads, beads, braid. Sundresses were treated very carefully, passed them by inheritance.
In addition to clothing, the kokoshnik headdress was an integral part of the national costume.
You can start the applique lesson with a survey of children on the topic “My favorite doll”. The guys should talk about the toy according to a certain plan:
- "What is your favorite doll?"
- "What is the name of your favorite doll?"
- "How do you play with a doll?"
- "What color is your doll's eye?"
- "What hair does your doll have?"
- “Tell me, what is your doll wearing?”
- "Where does your doll sleep?"
- "Do you like walking with your doll?"
- "Do you take your doll to kindergarten?"
- "In which role-playing games do you play with a doll (school, hospital, daughters-mothers, etc.)?”
- “Which dolls do you like to play more plastic or rag? (if there are rag ones).
- Do you have dolls of your mother or grandmother in your family?
As always a win-win to captivate children with the topic of classes is a fabulous motivation. It could be Russian folk tale"Vasilisa the Beautiful", well known to children.
Illustration for a Russian folk tale
You can also use works unknown to preschoolers. For example, introduce them to the Norwegian fairy tale "Doll in the Grass". According to the plot of the tale, the king had twelve sons, whom he was going to marry. He sent them to travel the world to find brides who could weave and sew a shirt in one day. Outside the gates of the castle, the brothers drove away the younger Simon, whom they did not like. The young man fell on the grass and wept. He woke up from a thin voice - it was a tiny girl in a white dress. Beautiful and slender, she sat on a small golden armchair, and a crown glittered on her head. Simon told her everything that had happened, and the doll assured the prince that she would help him. Before the eyes of the young man, she wove the material, cut and sewed a shirt - however, quite tiny. The king liked her work, and he blessed his son to marry. Simon returned for the bride, but she said that she would go in her carriage - from a silver spoon drawn by grasshoppers. Not far from the palace, the young man's horse waved its hoof, and the carriage with the doll fell into the lake. The chrysalis came out of the lake already a beautiful girl. In the palace, the brides of the brothers seemed to be dirty compared to her. The king drove the rest of the brothers out of the castle, and for Simon and his bride he threw a feast for the whole world.
As for modern works on the puppet theme, let's take as an example the author's "The Tale of the Doll Masha" by an educator from the city of Alexandrov. It tells about the doll that the girl Ksyusha had. The hostess loved her toy very much, together with her mother she sewed outfits for it, took it with her to kindergarten, and then to school. But then Ksyusha grew up, and Masha was left bored on the shelf along with other toys. And once they were cleaning the house and Masha was taken out to the pantry. The doll was offended, she wondered if she should go to kindergarten with small children. Masha found a magic wand and asked her to take it outside. There the doll went to kindergarten. At his gate, she met another doll, which was bought and immediately lost. New friends came together to the kindergarten to the kids. They were very happy there, and the dolls never got bored again.
There are many touching poems on the topic of dolls, from which you can also draw motivation for the lesson:
Lvovsky M.
Bought a doll for a girl
And gave for the holiday
Which I so dreamed of
The holiday has been long overdue!
The doll blinks its eyes
He calls his name
And my favorite toy
Dozing next to the pillow!
A girl is playing with a doll
wears jewelry,
The outfit was very fashionable
The girl's eyes are on fire!
Ryabova N.

Lots of new sheets.
Gostyukhina T.

I wave to the pillow.
We are walking with a doll
We do the exercises
Getting used together
With Masha to order.
I save the doll
I cherish her.
I got better with her.
I got better...
