Spring crafts with children

Preschoolers are very fond of creating all sorts of handicrafts. This is not only an interesting and fascinating pastime, but also an incredibly useful lesson, because while working with your fingers, petty motor skills are rapidly developing.

In addition, if the creation of handicrafts is confined to a particular holiday or event, the kid can get to know him better. So, in particular, during such creativity preschoolers can study the seasons and understand what each of them is different from each other.

With the advent of spring, snow melts, fresh green grass appears, flowers blossom. All nature comes to life and begins to play with new colors. This is exactly what the child can reflect in his work, creating spring crafts for his home or kindergarten with his own hands. In this article you will find ideas for such masterpieces.

Spring crafts with children own hands

The youngest children with pleasure do all kinds of applications of paper and other materials. In this technique, you can perform a simple spring landscape - a tree with green leaves appeared on it, a small cloud and a dripping rain or a rainbow - a phenomenon that can often be observed in the spring.

Spring handicrafts for children of 2-3 years are usually made of paper, but also to create similar applications kids can use clay, cardboard, pasta, small buttons and other materials.

For children 3-4 years of age, voluminous spring hand- made articles made of paper are perfect. So, from this material alone or with the help of parents you can make beautiful flowers, for example, tulips. To do this, you need to take a sheet of colored paper of the right color and fold the bud out of it using the origami technique. To create a stalk, wind a sheet of green paper on the pencil and fix it with glue. Then, on one side of the future stem, several incisions need to be made and the two parts are glued together.

When making spring hand-made articles with children 5-6 years old, you can use other materials that require careful handling, for example, corrugated paper, as well as velvet or felt. In particular, the last one can cut out the spring sun, fill it with cotton and decorate it at will.

From velvet and corrugated paper, in turn, you can also make all kinds of flowers and bouquets. Typically, a composition of similar colors is installed in a hand-made vase that can be made from wood, cardboard or a bottle from any cosmetic product.
