Good afternoon, today we will do crafts for almost no babies - for children 4 years old. A child at 4 years old already confidently holds a brush, knows how to distribute glue over the entire detail of the application. And most importantly, at the age of 4, he already understands HOW EXACTLY put the detail of the craft - that is, not upside down, not awry. At 4 years old, a child's hand is already aiming, correlating the detail of the craft with the right place for it. Therefore, children at 4 years old can independently make an application sequentially step by step, repeating the demonstration of an adult That is, it is understood that you first yourself, with your own hands, did in front of a child crafts, and then already offered the child the same details to accomplish the same task - to create a masterpiece with your own hands.
In this article, I have selected simple and beautiful crafts, which can be done by a kindergarten teacher or a parent with children 4 years old. I will tell you how to prepare parts for this craft. And I will give methodological recommendations for the lesson itself on this craft. Before you is a whole CARD FILE OF CRAFTS for 4 years. So let's get started.
Craft for 4 years
Horse application.
All children love this craft. She's cool. A horse that was given a carrot. There is work for both the teacher and the child. The caregiver himself prepares all the details of the craft - it's just cut out of colored paper. And separately the teacher himself prepares striped harness for a horse. It is done simply: we cover a sheet of white paper with strips of colored paper, alternating colors. Then we cut this sheet across our colored stripes, into short and not very wide segments. It turns out a lot of such striped segments - just for the entire kindergarten group.
Child task - do not confuse the order of sticker parts. Glue the carrot first, and only then TOP on it we paste the silhouette of the horse's muzzle. Children make a mistake: first put a horse on, and then it’s not clear how to stick a carrot under it. Therefore, in a demonstration of crafts before class, show the children the wrong option and laugh at it together. And already during the lesson, again remind you of such a stupid and funny mistake.
Also, some children first glue the horse's bangs, and only then the striped harness on top. Please note that the bangs should be on top.
This horse craft can be made with children 4 years old, when they have already moved to the middle group it is at this age that they begin their first "chik-chik exercises" with scissors. We complicate the lesson for such children, we invite them to cut the green paper square into strips for carrots.
Craft for 4 years
Application lion.
This is a very beautiful application. It becomes quite beautiful if you use not only standard colored paper for the mane, but also paper with a pattern for gift wrapping. The technique for performing this application is as follows. We prepare sheets of paper on which a circle has already been drawn (just a circle with a pencil - it is 1 cm smaller than the lion's head).
And then we show the children how to make the application step by step - we do everything in front of them, before class (as a preliminary work), this does not contradict the preschool education program. I don't like the show in the classroom, because it eats up 60% of the time, and there is very little left for the lesson itself, and the children do not have time.
So we have a sheet of paper in our hands - there is a circle on it. We take the detail of the BEAUTY of our lion and glue it UNDER THE CIRCLE. Next, we tell the children that the circle is like the sun, and now we need to make “rays” around it - for this we use a lot of colored stripes. We glue them in different directions from the circle.
And now all that remains is to stick the silhouette of the muzzle, ears, eyes and nose on top. Simple and fast.
Craft for 4 years
Application BEHEMOTH.
This application is also loved by all children. They like that it is so rough to the touch, and the water is like real water, and the body of the hippopotamus can be seen through the water column.
Everything is simple here. First, we prepare the background - we tint a sheet of white paper with light blue.
METHOD FOR QUICK TINTING. I bought a powder brush especially for quick tinting - thick and gently soft. Pour 2 fingers of water into a glass and dilute a little blue gouache in it so that the water also turns blue. Wet a brush in such water and quickly cover a sheet of paper. Sometimes the sheets, when soaked, roll into a tube - do not worry, unfold and brush again, it will stick to the table from dampness and dry in such a straightened form. In such a quick way, 27 sheets can be tinted in 5 minutes - just for the entire kindergarten group.
While the background sheets are drying, we prepare the appliqué details. We cut out the silhouette of the abdomen with a tubercle of the head, the silhouette of the nose, nostrils. And we find a roll of blue toilet paper, or we cut blue table napkins into strips.
The most important thing is to explain to the child that Toilet paper itself DO NOT need to be smeared with glue. She will crumble and break. We apply glue only to the SHEET CAM and then quickly apply a dry piece of toilet paper to this glue spot.
Applications in kindergarten
for children 4 years old.
Here are some more beautiful large crafts for children 4 years old. I love when the craft is large, when it occupies the entire sheet, and not small goats in the middle of the leaf. Very bright crafts giraffe and kangaroo. That's what they want to do.
And the craft of a kangaroo with a baby can even be timed to coincide with Mother's Day. Because this marsupial couple is just a symbol of motherhood.
But crafts where you need to FOLD some details along the fold line - the mouth of the frog, the ears of the dog. This is just right for a 4 year old. Show the children how to fold the part - how to hold the main part with the palm of your hand, how to wrap the edge of the sheet with your other hand - away from you, or towards you, or from the side (think how it is more convenient in this particular case).
The birdie looks very cute. Very easy craft for 4 year olds. First we glue the poles, then the grass. Then a thread and on a thread we plant birds from colored paper.
FISH craft is also simple for 4 years. The teacher cuts out an aquarium from a white sheet. Cut out white bubbles from scraps of white paper. The blue background of water does not have to be made of paper = you can paint it with paints. The child glues fish, algae, bubbles.
Here is an interesting application for boys for 4 years. We glue the segments of the tube from the cocktail onto a sheet of cardboard. From above we glue the bottom of the boat, sails. Add portholes, flags, clouds and sun. You can also draw waves with your finger and gouache.
Craft for 4 years
Simple applications FROM NEWSPAPER.
Now let's look at this kind of creativity. He deserves your attention. I don't know why, but color paper sets almost always lack gray. Probably the manufacturers believe that there is no place for gray in a child's life. And so a lot of crafts remain unrealized. For example, a koala bear cub is gray and the application is simple - and what do you have to do to pick up a bag of waste paper and look for long strips of articles without pictures to cut the details of the application. And such crafts are always very joyful - both for children and other parents. “Mom, read what is written on my teddy bear.”
In homes with children, you don't often find colored paper - you're more likely to find a bottle of beer than plasticine and glue. But let's not deprive children of creativity - because now everything you want can be made from ordinary newsprint.
If the house does not have black paper for the nose and ears of the teddy bear, it does not matter. You can cut out these details using the dark spots on printed newspaper photos. Or paint over pieces of newspaper with black gouache and cut out the details.
You can manage and cut out the part SO THAT there is an interesting headline in the right place. Imagine a bear with a large headline on its chest “You can’t beat Russia with sanctions.”
And years later, leafing through your children's crafts, your adult son will read with interest scraps of quotes from political analysts or watch the dollar exchange rate in early childhood.
On the newspaper, you can draw colored zones - pink bunny ears. And replace the missing parts with household items - a button, a rope, a bottle cap, a piece of candy wrapper.
If individual sheets of the newspaper are covered with gouache paint, then we will get almost colored paper. So at home you can make bright color applications from ordinary newspapers.
Pieces of wet newspaper roll up perfectly into flagella(just curl up like a twisted rope). Such flagella can be painted with gouache in different colors - and you get blanks for the UNICORN's mane - a great craft for girls 4 years old.
Craft for children 4 years old
Light applications
from pressed paper.
In the store you can see on sale paper filters for coffee machines, paper molds for cupcakes. They are sold in packs of 100 pieces. This suggests the idea that there are a lot of them, which means that there will be enough for the whole group and not even for one craft. Unable to resist, I bought such paper things - and now the whole group has already made one craft from this elegant material and will do it more than once.
By the way, such ideas for crafts for 4 years can be glued AND FROM ORDINARY COLOR PAPER, simply by cutting round parts.
The walrus craft is quick and easy for 4 year olds - you can add snow from cotton wool to it, since walruses live in snowy places. You can add a paper fish applique with glued foil.
Sand can be added to the CRAB craft (sift some sand from the sandbox) - after the whole craft is done, we apply a layer of glue on the brown background at the bottom of the sheet and sprinkle it with fine sand until the glue dries. We wait for some time and shake off the sand on the table (but not on the floor).
A chic parrot is obtained from corrugated molds. With a cascading tail, a bright tuft on the head. Beautiful craft for the younger group
And here is a craft that all children of 4 years old and not only love. Toothy shark. The difficulties of the educator are to make blanks for the mouth - on each blank you will need to draw teeth with a pencil, and then paint the shark's mouth with a marker. Children of 4 years old will not draw teeth themselves - this task is too tough for them.
You can make smaller fish from the same material. In the aquarium, pour real sand, or semolina or buckwheat, on the bottom. It's simple - we spread glue on the bottom of the craft - more glue, pour grits on top, wait a few minutes, without touching the grains with our hands, so as not to interfere with the glue to set. Then we pour the excess on the table.
Also on sale are paper lace napkins for confectionery. Of these, it is good to make appliqué princesses in lace dresses, Christmas angels in patterned wings or fins for sea fish. A simple and beautiful craft for kindergarten.
Craft for children 4 years old
MONSTERS.
All kids love monsters. At 4 years old, monsters are not scary, but friendly and funny. Here is a great and very simple craft for kids. We take PVA glue and gouache - we dilute half the glue and half the gouache in a jar. We stir this glue gouache and give the child a brush.
On a sheet of paper, children slap puddles of this glue paint as they please. And while the puddle has not dried up on it, we put ready-made eyes and black silhouettes of the mouth. Eyes can also be drawn on paper - make several blanks of different sizes. We draw the teeth of mostrs with white paint, just fingerprints or brush marks.
You can do exactly the same monsters made of cardboard and colored paper (photo below). This craft is JUST FOR 4 YEARS. Because it is at the age of 4 that the preschool education program sets the task for the child - learn to make a circle from a square of colored paper.
That is, the teacher gives the children squares of paper. And the child cuts the corners of the square with scissors, trying to round it off. And then he sticks these round uneven spots on his monster. Do not forget that the process of turning a square into a circle is first shown by the educator himself, several times - always on large samples, in the form of a sheet of cardboard measuring 20 by 20 cm.
The first experiments on turning a square into a circle will be unsuccessful, crooked - and this craft is just good because the shape and accuracy of the circle are NOT IMPORTANT here. Practice, make mistakes - there will still be a super-monster, even with crooked spots. The crooked, the scarier.
And here is another monster-themed craft - SCARY BITES. This craft will open a mouth full of teeth. It is done simply.
Cut out two circles from colored paper. On one circle, draw a line that divides this circle exactly in HALF. Now we explain to the child - that you need to glue ONLY ONE HALF of the circle with glue (any right or left - most importantly, only one !!!). And on the circle with the glue half smeared, we put the second circle on top - exactly, exactly on top of each other, exactly like a pancake on a pancake.
And it turns out that where there is no glue, this half quietly opens and closes - like a mouth. It remains to stick a red tongue and teeth in this mouth. And then cover the top pancake with spots and stick on the eyes. The mostr may or may not have arms and legs, as desired.
Children's crafts for 4 years
INSECTS.
And now we have another interesting topic - these are various bugs and insects. A variety of insects are made simply and understandably for children 4 years old.
Craft snail. Here you can combine different techniques. For example, below we see a snail made of cardboard, which is decorated with a spiral of fluffy wire. But the WIRE IS NOT NEEDED - it can be mined with a plasticine sausage spiral. We get an excellent job just for 4 years.
CRAFTS LADYBUG. Here we teach the child to fold a flat paper circle in half - evenly. This is a difficult but useful task - let the child practice, do it himself. Pride from the result achieved will give him faith in his own strength.
And here is another snail craft. Here is a very important lesson - the children learn to highlight the largest circle available - we paste it first, then again we look for the largest circle of the remaining ones, and paste it. And so we continue to the smallest circle.
Here is a craft FUNNY BEE. Two rounds made of yellow cardboard and two wings made of blue. Draw stripes on the tummy with paint. We glue the elements. Cut holes for fingers. We now have a tabletop theater character. You can make a few more friends for him, also with holes for fingers.
Here is another beautiful bee craft. She is very interesting with her voluminous wings. Children are simply delighted - they are interested in the task: first glue one end of the strip, wait until it dries and then wrap the other end of the strip and stick it in the same place.
Here is a great SPIDER craft, just for boys 4 years old. A spider is your baby's handprints on a piece of paper, then dried, cut out. Made paper eyes.
We cover the plastic plate with paint of any color. Punch holes along the edge of the plate. If there is no hole punch, you can simply STICK THE INSECTIONS with scissors;
Here is a craft BABBOCH - with double wings. The body of a butterfly can be made from plasticine balls. At the age of 4, children had already learned how to roll balls in kindergarten (according to the preschool education program).
We paint half of the plate green, half blue. We glue paper flowers, glue butterfly wings, glue plasticine lumps.
Crafts FLOWERS
For a 4 year old child.
I really like this kind of craft. Where we get a whole long bed of flowers. The child can form the flower himself - paint the finished outline, or crumple the crepe paper into balls and stick these balls on the paper backing, forming the center and petals of the flower.
And then we plant all the children's flowers in a common flower bed. We cut out a strip from the packaging cardboard, fold it with an accordion and put it on edge - like a screen. Now we glue green stalks on it and plant each flower of the child in a common flower bed.
The image of a flower can be created by various visual means. It could be anything. For 4 years old, we choose simpler and more understandable techniques for the child. The handprint is a finished tulip. A cotton pad folded in a triangle is a calla flower.
Here is a camomile craft made from cotton swabs. From yellow plasticine we make two round pancakes. We put rays of cotton buds (cut in half) on the bottom pancake and close it with the second pancake on top. We make stems and leaves from colored paper or plasticine.
From pasta in the form of bows, you can make a beautiful handicraft LILIES OF THE VALLEY - just a gift for mom on March 8, which a 4-year-old child can do. We glue pasta on plasticine (you can’t do it with simple glue).
Crafts - coloring
For children 4 years old.
All children love to play with paints. But children of 4 years old are still learning to draw shapes with a pencil (squares, ovals, circles) - and in order to draw these shapes with a brush, it is too early to dream of such a thing. And what? Do not give the child a brush, or what?
Give. And how. But with paints we will DECORATE ready-made forms.
CRAFTS CAT. From corrugated cardboard (packaging gray cardboard), we cut out a semi-oval (cat's body), an oval with ears (cat's head), a curl (tail) and a small semi-oval (support-support at the bottom).
All these details are covered with paint. We make the head, tail and support simply in one color (orange or any to your taste). But we paint over the largest detail (the body of a cat) in the form of different stripes. Here is just a complete delight for children 4 years old. To draw stripes with a brush - how cool and beautiful it turns out, like an adult.
After drying the muzzle and tail, the teacher draws the face of a cat. At 4 years old, only a few of the children (5 out of 20 people) can draw the normal eyes, nose and mouth of a cat according to the model. Yes, those children with whom parents draw at home will be developed in drawing, and for those parents who believe that “when they go to the garden, they will learn there”, a child at 4 years old cannot draw proportionate circles of eyes, nose, mouth.
“If we give a child a pencil, he will paint the furniture.” Of course it will draw. Because it’s not enough to give a pencil - you have to sit down and whole 10 minutes draw kalyaki with him. And in our time, finding 10 minutes in a busy schedule is difficult. Finding 2 hours for gel nails is not a problem, because this is the right thing to do. And kalyaki is a stupid occupation, all the same, the child still does not know how to draw anything. But how will he learn? If he can't get through kalyak-malyak stage which must be completed in 2 years. So it turns out that he, like a repeater, goes through this stage at the age of 4 - in kindergarten, and it's a pity to look at such a child.
Here is another cute cat that can be painted in stripes, and then in specks.
As we can see, the principle of assembling such a cat is simple. The following details are needed.
- 2 rectangles of cardboard.
- 1 long narrow strip of cardboard (ridge).
- 2 head silhouettes
- 4 sticks for feet (you can use the same cardboard, you can use pencils, you can use wooden skewers)
- 8 cardboard triangles (for paws, 2 for each paw).
We put together 2 rectangles (body), on top we put a ridge (a long strip of cardboard) between them. The spine must be inserted between the halves of the body SO THAT it sticks out behind (like a tail) and in front (like a neck on which we will attach the head).
It is to this ridge that we will glue the halves of the body. It holds perfectly on double-sided tape, less on glue (it’s not worth it on PVA, it only soaks the cardboard and the gluing is not strong).
Now let's glue the head. We smear two silhouettes of the head with glue - and connect them together (pancake on pancake) - clamping between these layers the cervical process of the ridge sticking out of the cat's body.
CRAFTS WITH THREADS.
Such crafts-coloring can be supplemented with another decorative feature. We take and wrap our craft with threads. So that the threads do not jump off or slip, we make cuts with scissors along the edge of the area that we plan to wrap.
Threads can be wound evenly - row by row. Then, with the help of multi-colored threads, you can make funny colored stripes.
Below is a piece of rough packaging cardboard - cats. They are complemented by the ability to stand upright and not fall. Because the middle of the cat is cut (two cuts) and this part is folded back - like a stand for photo frames.
You can color these cats simply with paints on stripes. And you can wrap it with thread. If you wrap, make sure that the THREAD WALKS UNDER THE STAND-BREAKER, so as not to swaddle the stand.
Craft volumetric CATS.
If you have an extra shoe or juice box, or even a small one for tea (size doesn't matter), you can make an excellent 3D craft with a 4-year-old child. And you will become the most beloved mother in the world. And this cat will be the pride of your child.
Here we just take the box. We cut off part of the lower part of it - leaving only processes at 4 corners. From cardboard (from anything, even from pizza). Cut out the silhouette of the muzzle with the breast and the silhouette of the tail. We glue these silhouettes on the box in front and behind - on double-sided tape. We cover it all with paint.
Speaking of paint. For large crafts there is a large consumption of gouache. Especially if we cover a multi-colored box - we need to apply several layers so that the pattern of the box does not shine through. You can do it easier. The hardware store sells acrylic facade paint (which the walls are painted with) - do not buy a bucket, buy a small can (liter) - it will not be expensive. Facade paint closes the pattern on the box with one layer. And then gouache on acrylic will be easy and simple to lay down, and you don’t need a lot of gouache, enough for the whole cat. And this liter of white acrylic will come in handy for you in other crafts - it is stored for a long time, if it thickens a little, it can be diluted with tap water, and everything is like new again.
Here is another craft DOG FRIEND.
The principle is the same - you can take a box from milk, you can from juice, you can from anything. The dog's legs are toilet paper rolls. To make the roll stick with its edge to the bottom of the box, you can do this ... crumple a lump of newspaper (just the size of the hole in the roll). We smear the lump with glue, put it in a roll so that the surface of the lump is flush with the edge of the roll. And now it is convenient to stick this roll to the bottom of the box (at least on the same glue, at least dry it on tape).
Well, since we are talking about boxes, I can’t help but show you another cute craft that can keep your child busy with a fun game for a long time.
In a regular box, we cut a hole-arch. We decorate the box in the form of a hare. Glue the red track of the tongue at the bottom.
By this principle, you can create any character with an open mouth - a shark, a bear, a dog, an elephant, a hippopotamus.
folding crafts
For children aged 4 years.
Here is an original craft that can yelp and bark with its mouth wide open. Cute paper dog.
Everything is done simply. No complex origami. Just fold a sheet of A4 paper lengthwise three times. And then the resulting strip is also folded in half. And fold each half back in half too.
It remains to decorate the fold in the form of a dog - stick the ears, tongue, spots, eyes and nose.
Crafts FROM THE PLATE.
For children aged 4 years.
Generally, disposable plates should not be thrown away. They can become the basis for good children's crafts. For example, here is a monkey. The belly is a whole plate. The head is a plate that has been cut off in a circle, leaving only the appendages of the ears. The rest of the details are cut out of colored paper.
A round plate can turn into any muzzle. It can be painted with paints.
Half of the plate can become the basis for a beautiful solar craft. Strips of colored paper like a rainbow are glued to the cut line, we cut out elephant rays from colored paper. Color the plate yellow.
And from the other half of the plate, you can make a WATERMELON craft, just paint it with paints and stick black plasticine grains. We roll plasticine into a thin sausage, cut the sausage into pieces with a stack. Here are the finished seed buds.
And here is a butterfly craft from two sectors of a plastic plate. Here we work with paints and at the same time we follow the symmetry. That is, both halves must be painted the same way. If there is a red stripe along the edge on the left, then the same stripe on the right, if the next stripe on the left is green, then the second stripe on the right is also green. This is a logical task just for attentiveness. Children 4 years old forget the rules, but you continue to mumble the whole lesson: “I drew on the right, without immediately changing the paint, draw on the left” or “We don’t change the paint - we repeat on the left.”
The plate can not be painted over with paint, but simply glue the bottom of the plate with a round piece of colored paper. This is how this daisy craft with a ladybug was made in the photo below.
And here is another great PIZZA craft based on a plastic plate. First, we paint the plate in the color of mayonnaise and ketchup - with yellow and red gouache. If you add PVA glue to the paint - there is less gouache glue (proportion by eye), then you can immediately throw all the paper elements of the application into such paint, until it dries on a plate - yellow stripes of cheese, pink slices of sausage, brown silhouettes of mushrooms and black circles of olives.
Here are some interesting crafts you found today for children 4 years old. Now you can organize a lot of creative activities in kindergarten (if you are a teacher), and you will also know what to do with a child at 4 years old at home.
Good luck with your kids.
