Here is a continuation of the series of colorful colorful applications for the youngest children. You can download application templates for kids on our website immediately in an archive, the download link is at the end of the publication.

How you can work with your child using this educational material

With the help of a series of such applications, it is very easy to teach a child how to glue and make applications. In addition, you can not only do appliqué, but also play the game “Guess what’s missing” with your baby. Download and unzip the archive with the application files, print the pictures, cut out the application details and you can practice with your baby.

Lay out the drawings in front of your child and ask: What is missing from the pictures? If your child finds it difficult to answer, help him, using an example of one of the applications, tell him how to combine the missing parts. The baby will quickly understand what is required of him and will be happy to join in the activities. Once you have all the applique pieces together, you can glue them on.

Such activities develop attention and observation well, train visual memory, speech, and fine motor skills. Applications can be performed with children at home and in kindergarten, in early childhood development centers.

Good luck and have fun!

Greetings, dear friends. Today I will tell you and show you how to make an applique of a truck with children from colored paper of preschool age. My children love cars very much (my daughter, despite the fact that she is a girl, is also partial to transport), so the topic of today’s lesson was received with delight.

Preparing for the lesson will not take much time, for example, it took me no more than 5-10 minutes, despite the fact that I made all the details in duplicate - for my daughter and son (I will write the dimensions of the colored paper truck templates below).

Well, after the application is ready, you can read (teach) poems about a truck for children and watch a cartoon.

Poem about a truck for children

This is a serious little truck!
He's probably more important
Than a passenger car
(Even the biggest one).
The cargo is carried by a truck -
He's not used to being lazy.
Loaded, lucky, buzzing:
"Get out of my way! Move away!
Fits a lot of cargo
In my big spacious body.
I'm in a hurry to deliver them on time!
If only someone could help..."

The truck puffs in the garden:
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo.
I'm bringing you apples
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo.
A truck is humming in the field,
Protects grain from rain.
And he collects potatoes,
Delivers to stores.
The truck is at work everywhere.
Carrying the cargo is his concern.
Rides at night, rides during the day,
Rides with the sun, in the rain.
You, baby, will understand later:
You can't live without work.

*****************************************************************

Multicolored truck
Directly on the road
Everything goes on and on all day
And brings toys to children:
Doll, teddy bear,
Ball, cubes and book.
By the lace through the carpet
The truck is driven by a driver,
He's not afraid of work
Even though he is only three years old!

****************************************************************

Once upon a time there lived a truck
In a room with a balcony,
He's used to carrying loads
In a green body.
I took the crybaby doll this morning
New pillow
Well, I’m wet with tears
I took it to dry.
He took the soldiers with him
And ammunition.
I took it under the table to where the battle is
At the military base.
It was difficult to pull out the tank
From under the stool
I brought a house for the dolls,
And cutlets for the cat.
Checkers, cubes, watermelon,
And a plate of plums
Loaded various cargo
He is hardworking.
And when I looked out the window
A timid month from the sky,
Truck, tired of business,
Fell asleep in a box.

**************************************************************

I have a truck
He is neither small nor big.
He is carrying cereal for Masha,
So that she cooks porridge.
Feed all the animals
In my children's room.
And then my truck
He will bring me a stack of books.
So that I can read
Before I go to bed.
Well, when summer comes,
He'll bring the sand,
To do for friends
I managed a couple of cakes.
Yes, one would have so much to do
I wouldn't be able to do it.
Well, thank you, my friend,
My nice truck!

Cartoon about cars for children

My children love making homemade gifts for loved ones. For the New Year, we prepared a whole sea of ​​New Year's cards and appliqués of snowmen, which we presented to my grandmother for her birthday.

But for the birthday of our relative and another who really loves cars and travel, we decided to make applications from colored paper with a car and road theme.

An applique always looks more interesting if it has three-dimensional details. We made an applique of a machine with sewn buttons, wheels and balloons on real threads.

Yesterday it was our little neighbor's birthday. So we made this unusual applique for him instead of a postcard.

Good day to my dear readers and friends, Tatyana Sukhikh is here! Looking through my notes, I suddenly noticed that I had chosen some completely girly subjects for creative activities with children - flowers, fish... Today I decided to correct the situation and propose a theme for boys: an applique machine made from colored paper. Although many little princesses are not averse to playing with toy vehicles from time to time...

Perhaps, creating vehicles through appliqué is the best activity for mastering the concepts of geometric shapes. Children, having made their first car from a square, rectangle and circles, will simultaneously remember the names and shapes of the parts of their work.

For those who trust only methodological literature, I can offer an excellent selection of “smart” materials.

“Labyrinth.ru” has compiled a good mini-library of didactic materials for those interested in methods of organizing creative activities with children:

Educational game poster with stickers " Let's go, we'll sail, we'll fly"is a fascinating journey into the world of transport. This educational material has one trick: the stickers are reusable, so you can vary the tasks for the child. The poster is suitable for the youngest children who are learning to speak.

Creativity kit "Necessary machines" consists of beautifully and brightly drawn details for applique. True, the background needs to be selected separately. An excellent material for children who are just mastering the art of appliqué.

An interesting set for children of the middle and older groups - "Paper painting: car". Available instructions and ready-made parts - all you have to do is cut and glue so that you get a three-dimensional image that can even be framed as a picture.

In “UchMag” I looked for two sets for my little pupils:

"Cat in the Car"- a wonderful image that will be interesting for children to recreate. I'll have to cut them out instead, but they can glue the pieces on themselves. "Technology in the city"– a great set for creativity. All created pictures will remain in the album, which will allow parents to keep samples of children's work as souvenirs.

Features of transport applications in different age groups

It is worth noting that learning to work with paper and scissors occurs strictly in stages in kindergarten, which I have already written about several times. We never give children tasks that are too difficult for their age. Our work is built taking into account the anatomical features of the child’s hand, psyche, and capabilities.

I also advise parents not to run ahead of the locomotive, but to select activities according to age indicators.

Using the example of transport, I will tell you what stages the application training takes from the junior to the preparatory group.

1-2 junior groups work only with glue and finished parts. The smallest ones only add one or two missing details to the picture I made in advance. No more! For example, I made a fire truck paper composition using templates. Children receive a picture of a car, glue and any detail on their desktop: wheels, a fire escape, a cabin window. Their task is to stick the part in the right place, carefully and correctly.

The middle group also works without scissors in the first half of the school year, but receives all the necessary details to create a composition. Children must choose a background, lay out all the details and glue everything one by one. You can offer the guys to make an applique from non-standard materials, which I also wrote a lot about.

Templates can be printed from the Internet, which is extremely convenient. And you will always have ready-made material at hand for teaching your child.


By the way, about the question of when can you give scissors to children? At home, under your own control, you can begin training to work with this dangerous object at least from the age of two, if you want. We, educators, will be only too happy to accept such a developed child into kindergarten. But in kindergarten it is impossible to monitor 20 children who are holding a cutting object in their hands. Therefore, at the discretion of the teacher, he can teach the use of scissors with blunt ends, sometimes in the middle group, but more often in the older group.

The older group is already mastering scissors with all its might, so first we make simple machines with the children, practicing their cutting skills. The child does everything himself: cuts out the parts, chooses the background and glues the parts. At first, you can also use printed pictures of the car, onto which the children glue their parts on top.

Firetruck in applique class

The most spectacular colored paper is a fire truck. It can be done in different ways, adding or removing details according to the age of the child. After all, a “fire station” is a red rectangle with wheels and the numbers “01”, which you can optionally supplement with a fire escape, a window in the cabin, a “flashing light”, etc.


The preparatory group already has the skills to work with scissors, glue and paper. You can do whatever you want with kids this age! So, we use all the studied non-traditional techniques and materials, combine them, and give the opportunity to show our own view of things.

The same fire truck can be created from buttons, lumps of paper, flagella, using the trimming technique, etc.

Older preschoolers can make appliqués with many details; they should be able to achieve the most realistic look of the image, understand what to add to the composition and what is unnecessary.

As you can see, such a simple activity - appliquing a machine - is a child’s important work on his own development.

If you are raising a child at home, I advise you to look through the kindergarten curriculum for each age and plan your classes according to the example of the teacher’s work plan. In general, the daily routine in kindergarten is very well thought out, we keep up with everything, and by school the children acquire the necessary minimum of skills and knowledge.
