It is very difficult to captivate boys, especially preschoolers, for a long time. And when it comes to needlework, parents are often faced with the child’s complete reluctance to do “girly things.” And in this case, you have to resort to a trick, for example, inviting the child to make crafts on the theme of his favorite toys. Boys especially like to draw, sculpt and paint a variety of models of cars. In the master classes below you will find several variations of service cars using the appliqué technique.
This small MK is suitable for teaching with children in the middle group. Here it is important to cut out all the details correctly, and this can be done using pre-prepared templates, from which children will simply transfer the contours onto colored paper. To make work go faster, you can use self-adhesive paper.

Video tutorial on making a fire truck
Three-dimensional fire truck made of colored paper
In addition to the applique, you can offer to make a three-dimensional model of a fire truck for the children. This activity is suitable for older children in the preparatory group:
With such three-dimensional models, the whole group will be able to play in the future.
Paper police car
For children in the younger group to master the basics of needlework, applications from pre-printed templates and pictures are well suited.
For example, you can invite children to cut out and glue together parts of a police car like this: But this machine can be used as a stencil for appliqués: 
Applique can be made not only from paper. This is what, for example, a road patrol car made of plasticine looks like: 
Making a truck out of colored paper
The easiest way to applique a truck is to use simple geometric shapes. This lesson is ideal for children in kindergarten:
You can offer such an experiment for children. Add applique elements to the most ordinary drawing:

Ideas and templates for applications with cars
Paper applications
The applique gives enormous scope for children's imagination. We offer you the most interesting ideas for making cars using this technique.
Such templates are very convenient, because in this case, for applique it is enough to cut out the blanks and glue them step by step onto the base. For beginning needleworkers, this practice will be very useful.
(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -351501-1", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-351501-1", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");
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.
(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -351501-3", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-351501-3", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");Every boy loves to play with cars; he will not soon assemble a metal structure on his own, but teaching a child to make paper models is very easy. Parents will need a little time, paper, glue and scissors. You can create such machines using the origami technique or 3D design; for each method there are the necessary materials, instructions and recommendations.
How to make a car from waste material?
The older the boy gets, the more interested he will be in complex models, including those made from paper. Parents can only suggest which creativity is more exciting, provide the necessary materials and a good mood to complete the task. For boys, among all the models, it is cars that enjoy great prestige, and buying different designs every day will cost parents a pretty penny. After a while, the child will lose all interest in these beautiful cars, so it is more interesting and useful to make the design yourself. It does not require large financial expenses, all you need is desire and time.
You can create cars not only using ready-made diagrams, but also using available materials, for example, cardboard and matches, wooden sticks and colored paper. For example, take several cardboard cylinders left over from toilet paper and cover each one with colored paper. After the fake has dried, it is necessary to cut a rectangular hole on the surface of the cylinder, leaving a little space on one side so that it can be bent and thus make a seat for the driver.
The design can also be decorated inside using felt-tip pens or a marker; to create a steering wheel, you should cut a circle out of white paper and glue it opposite the seat. The machine can be additionally decorated with applications made of colored paper, choosing different shades. If the car is a racing car, you can put a number on it, if it is an ambulance or fire model, then you can also cut out the corresponding signs or draw them. To secure the wheels, use small bolts or plastic bottle caps.
Volumetric 3D paper cars
To complete the work, you need to prepare a printer, a sheet of paper, scissors, cardboard material, as well as glue, colored pencils, paints or felt-tip pens.
The instructions are very simple; you can assemble a paper machine without any special skills or knowledge. First, you need to print out a model of the machine you like on paper, then glue the sheet onto cardboard to make the structure durable. The image is cut out along the contour, this is another advantage of this technique of creating a paper machine.
Important ! All the lines are already marked on the sheet, so it will be easy for the child to fold the model, just bend it along the contour and hide the remaining wings of the workpiece inside.
These white ends must be glued together so that the structure does not fall apart, and if the cardboard is strong enough, then you can use super glue rather than stationery PVA. After that, the most interesting thing for the boy is to decorate the car at his discretion.
A simple way to create a paper car
Paper cars are just as fun to play with as metal or plastic ones, you can arrange real races, and you can also build a garage by decorating all the structures with felt-tip pens, and use a toothpick to make a flag.
To create a paper machine you will need a square piece of paper; it should be folded in half, then unfold the edges and bend them in the opposite direction towards the middle of the sheet. Then, fold the edges again in the opposite direction and fold the sheet of paper in half. Draw the outline of the car onto the material; to do this, fold the top corners, then tuck them inward; two corners will peek out from below. They are also folded inside, after which you need to make wheels for the car.
Bend the lower corners back, rounding them a little, thus creating wheels; in front, to make headlights, the corners must be laid inward. Do the same on the back side of the car; all the details of the vehicle can be drawn, for example, wheels, headlights, doors or the driver behind the wheel. 15 minutes of time and a beautiful paper car is ready.
Origami machine
This is a unique art that involves the creation of unusual paper figures, including cars. To work, you just need to stock up on colored paper and patience, it’s very easy, so you not only can, but also need to involve children, together you can create a whole fleet of cars. Or you can make a car out of a banknote and give it as a gift to a friend.
To create, for example, a sports car, you need to take a rectangular sheet, as a rule, the aspect ratio should be 1:7. The work begins by bending the upper right and left corners, thus creating all the necessary folds. The next step is to fold the top of the sheet, along with the folded corners on the left and right. Small triangles will remain sticking out, which should also be folded towards the middle of the sheet of paper.
Next, you need to fold the sides of the leaf, fold the bottom part, follow the same algorithm that was performed when folding the top part of the paper. All that remains is to fold the structure in half, tuck in the triangles that are peeking out and that’s it, the machine is ready.
Making crafts with a small child is a pleasure. There are many options and materials, you just need to choose the right ones and use your imagination. In addition, crafts develop finger motor skills and the baby’s imagination. On the Internet you can find many ideas and recommendations for choosing crafts, as well as step-by-step master classes. They will certainly help you decide on an application that both the child and the parent will like.
Children's applications from colored paper and cereals are fun and enjoyable to make with a child: a truck and a passenger car, a powerful KAMAZ, a horse and a goldfish, a traveling frog - the motives for creativity are simply inexhaustible. The applique turns out voluminous and looks cute and funny. If the child is very young, perhaps it is worth simplifying the process - download and print the stencil for such an application from the Internet, and an older child can draw it himself.
Children who do not yet know how to cut out complex parts and cannot choose a craft on their own, can use the following ideas:
- fish in an aquarium;
- autumn/spring/summer/winter landscape;
- fruits and vegetables;
- butterfly;
- flower meadow;
- house;
- car.
Applications for children consist of geometric shapes. You can use colored paper, cardboard, self-adhesive paper, foil, cereal and other interesting materials. To make your child have fun, it is best to turn the work process into a game. After the fake is ready, you can use it to decorate one of the walls or your child’s desk.
Application "Car" made of colored paper
For this simple but beautiful machine for little ones you will need:
To make the car look colorful, it is best to choose bright paper colors: yellow, red, blue, green. For this applique we will use blue and yellow colors for the body and black for the wheels. To make such a simple craft You won't need to print the template.
- On a sheet of blue paper, draw a square (3.5x3.5 cm) and a rectangle (4x6 cm).
- On a sheet of yellow paper, draw a small rectangle for the window (1.5x2 cm) and a large rectangle (4.5x10 cm).
- Cut out round wheels (two parts) from black paper. A child of primary school age can cope with the drawings on his own, but for a child of preschool age it is better to prepare all the details and then hand him the finished components of the application.
- Coat a large yellow rectangle with glue and place it horizontally on a white base sheet.
- Place the blue rectangle vertically next to the yellow one.
- Glue a yellow window onto the blue rectangle.
- Glue the blue square to the blue rectangle.
- Add wheels under the structure. The car is ready!

There is no shame in putting such an application in a frame and decorating your desktop with it.
Application "Aquarium" for the little ones
This craft consists of geometric shapes: circles and triangles. Creating an application does not require much effort and time.
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 for them, but they can glue the pieces 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 the time they go to school, the children acquire the necessary minimum of skills and knowledge.
