Drawing templates 3 4 years. Cutting from paper. Drawing simple plots

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 very well that it develops a child's imagination, creativity, improves hand coordination and fine motor skills 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 children early age» (Labyrinth, Ozone). It is beautiful Toolkit for parents and teachers, it also comes with a CD with demonstration materials.

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 a few 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 materials for fine arts the better you use.

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 a 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, tops of carrots, a fence, a cage, a path, rails, paws to bugs, needles to a cactus, 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, air 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 is very fond of playing this game: I say that one boy drew different figures, but did not 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 techniques drawing on the instructions of 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 with a finger or a brush simple images- waves, paths, circles, etc., makes fingerprints or other 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 it semolina, shakes and see what pattern it turns 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 creative development 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).

You can also DOWNLOAD COLORING PAGES for babies in one file.

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).

Your child may also find it interesting to trace and paint. various subjects, 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?

In this article, we want to talk about drawing with children from three to four years old. What do you need to remember when drawing with children? How to make the activity fun and exciting? How and with what can you draw?

Let's try to find answers to these questions together.

How to organize a drawing lesson for children 3-4 years old?

• Consider an activity. Play in your mind the entire sequence of what you and the child will do. Stock up on wet wipes, rags, so that if necessary, they are at hand.
• Give an example of what the activity should look like. This can make it very easy to explain the material.
• Take a doll, animal, or cartoon character and do an activity with it. Children will be happy to support and help the puppet teacher.
• Think about what photos, pictures, video and audio materials you can use in class. This will make your lesson fun and interesting.

The best drawing techniques at 3-4 years old

Let's look at some drawing techniques for children 3-4 years old.

Shading

The point of this technique is to paint over an area without going beyond the boundaries of the drawing. Shading is best done with a pencil or pen.

Invite your child to color the bunny gray.

coloring "bunny"

coloring "fish"

We paint the chanterelle in red.

Painting

Shading is similar to shading, but it will be done with paints. The idea is the same - to paint over a certain area. For example, it is very interesting to draw colorful circles using plastic cups, and then paint them in a suitable color.

Lines

Straight, wavy, interrupted, spiral, etc. Here is an example of how you can draw the sky, grass and the sun with different lines.

Points

This is one of the first techniques that children learn and the most beloved. Children can use this technique to paint sand, rain, snow, flies, etc. For example, you can decorate pineapple with dots with a brush.

Or draw a clover with cotton swabs.

Splashes and blots

If usually for splashes and blots it is considered something not neat, then in this technique everything is just the opposite. Here's an example beautiful butterfly from the blot. We put a blot of different colors on the paper, and then just folded it in half. However, in order to get a butterfly pattern, you need to practice a little in the application of paint.

But such a monster can be made if you apply paint with large quantity water onto a sheet of paper, and then blow the drops of paint into a straw. The air pressure will cause the drop to flow, leaving a mark on the sheet of paper.

An interesting smear picture is obtained if you apply finger paints or gouache on a sheet of paper.

Then we press them with transparent film.

By pressing the film against the paints, you can see how the paints flow and mix. The result is an interesting pattern!

Watercolor over chalk drawing

The point of the technique is to draw a drawing with white wax crayon or a candle on white paper. It will not be visible. Then, when a layer of watercolor is applied on top, the drawing begins to magically "manifest".

Kids will probably be able to draw rain with horizontal lines.

Crayon drawing "Rain"

A real miracle when the spirals drawn in small begin to appear.

Crayon drawing "Spirals"

You can draw fish in the same way, and then cut them out.

Crayon drawing "Fish"

Seals and stamps as a painting technique

The meaning of the technique is that a drawing is applied to a sheet of paper not with a brush, but with a print. Let's see what you can make a print for a child: An amazing flower can be obtained if folded celery leaves are used to apply it.

A very beautiful rose is obtained from a celery print.

A convenient stamp can be cut out of potatoes, for example, in the form of a leaf.

Nature itself tells us ideas. If you put green and green on a sprig of cauliflower brown paint, then the imprint of the cauliflower is very similar to the spreading tree.

Stamp with a dishwashing sponge. To do this, dip a sponge in paint and apply a drawing on paper.

An imprint of a rubber ball with thorns. Just like when working with a sponge, we dip the ball into the paint and run it over a sheet of paper, getting a funny dot print.

The mouth, eyes and paper ears will help to revive our drawing.

Finger drawings

With your fingers, you can apply points, lines, smear over a certain area. Here we have decorated the autumn tree with dotted movements.

With your fingers, you can simply smear the paint, filling the selected contour.

Pen print drawing

The point of the technique is to make amazing picture by adding a few extra strokes to the print. For example, we can make green prints and add orange rectangles to them - we get a carrot.

Drawing from prints "Carrot"

Or you can glue toy eyes to the print and paint your mouth - you get a real goldfish.

Drawing from the print "Fish"

A very touching picture, drawn with palms and fingers "nest". Children will be able to draw birds, as well as find out with what love the mother-bird incubates the eggs and feeds her children.

Drawing with palms and hands "nest"

A very interesting way to draw is to paint something 3D on a large poster or back side unnecessary wallpaper. This is how group work can be done.

We've looked at several drawing techniques for kids ages 3 to 4. However, things can go wrong. Paint may spill, water may turn over, clothes may get dirty. Try not to get upset or upset with your child. Believe me - next time everything will definitely work out! A lot just comes with experience.

See how you can draw a hedgehog with a child:

Any child, having just learned to hold a pencil in their hands, is already trying to demonstrate their artistic skills to their parents. But due to age, not every kid can translate his ideas into reality, so he begins to look for improvised means for this. And quite often they become wallpapers, which immediately begin to "overgrow" with new patterns. To avoid such a nuisance, we propose to create a set of stencils that can interest the baby and distract from the arts on the walls.

Download templates for future stencils on our website, print them and stick them on thick paper or cardboard. And so that they do not quickly become unusable, the resulting sheets can be pasted over with tape. Next, in each template, carefully cut interior, that's all, the stencils are ready. With their help little artist without much difficulty will be able to depict a mug, a fish, a T-shirt, an apple, a pear, a maple leaf, a shoe, shoes, a butterfly and a watering can for flowers. Moreover, in the process of drawing, he will be able to use both colored pencils and felt-tip pens, as watercolor paints and ballpoint pens. It all depends only on the imagination and personal preferences of the child. By the way, using these stencils, you can also play the game "Whose Shadow?"

Cutting shapes and shapes out of paper helps young children develop fine motor skills in game form!

How to teach a child to cut paper?

1. First of all, your baby's handles should be ready to instill the skill of carving. Best exercise for a baby - squeezing water out of a simple sponge, it trains the necessary muscles.
2. Then show your child how fun it is to rip old newspapers and pieces of paper to pieces - this will teach him to hold the paper in his hands without dropping it.
3. Now you can learn to cut out of paper using special materials for children! Start by cutting straight and wavy lines, then teach your child to cut out shapes, and only then suggest pictures to cut.

Important! Remember to take breaks if your child is tired or bored. Be sure to verbally encourage the child, praise him and try to intervene less in the cutting process itself.

Paper Cut Safety

Before starting the training, show your child how to hold the scissors correctly and talk to him about the safe use of the scissors. The child must clearly understand that:

• Cut away from the body and fingers.
• You can't play and indulge when you hold scissors.

At what age to start learning to cut?

All children develop in different ways. The age limits below should be used as a guide, taking into account the interests, temperament and ability to focus on specific children.

2 years: Children of this age will enjoy tearing paper into small pieces and cutting something, only repeating after adults;

3 years: at this age with a child, you can try to cut out any shapes, sitting next to him and continuously observing the process;

4 years: the child is able to cut simple lines and shapes by himself with a little help from an adult;

5 years and older: the child must easily cut out pictures himself and even glue them on paper, making applications.

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 imagination and creative thinking child.
