Stencils for collage - a selection of interesting templates

Basic Rule

It is not difficult to assemble a complete picture from the parts, in any work the same scheme is applied - a step-by-step superimposition of elements. The larger the back part of the object in the picture, the earlier it should be glued on. You should always start with the rear parts of the animal's body (croup, hind legs, etc.). Then glue the remaining layers, according to their level of proximity to the maker. Internet users can find good examples by looking at master classes or just photos of making templates and ready-made applications.

Insects

Making with children of insects, you need to take care that the elements of the template had a large and rounded shape. Then you get cute little buzz-eyed bugs. With their impressive size, they look just great.

The easiest application for three-year-old children is an image of a caterpillar or ant. This can be done by gluing a number of circles of paper with a slight overlap, and then only finish drawing paws and whiskers.

Also easy to make will be a snail. The template for it consists of three elements: the body, shell and eyes. It is desirable to draw the spiral shell in advance and leave the further decoration to the children. It is possible to cut out a spiral house from cardboard.

A great idea would be a butterfly applique - templates can be printed out on a photocopier. Such a product includes elements of a jigsaw puzzle. The child is given only the outline of the printed butterfly. Then sections are cut out of any magazines, whose configurations in the set form the wings. The child is required to find the right place for each piece.

Zoo .

You can develop a child's logic interesting task: cut out of colored paper silhouettes of animals, and children have to collect a whole animal. They will be fun to pick up the pieces and use glue to create an application of the animal. Then finish drawing them missing parts: eyes, whiskers, etc.

Then, the assembled characters to place on a board or a paper sheet, forming a fun zoo.

Of the most favorite characters we can highlight the following:

Panda

From white and black paper you can make a chubby cute panda. First you need to glue on a suitable background back paws. Above them - a white oval (belly). Even higher, to the belly - black paws in the form of arcs. Above all white circle (head). Finish the applique with the missing details (ears, eyes on the black circles, etc.).

You can make an excellent template for the panda from a solid white piece that has a pear-shaped shape, it will be the belly, combined with the head. Paws, in the form of a black horseshoe, glue under the head.

Horse .

For children, you can prepare many fun templates for making horses. Cardboard stencils for applique - a fairly solid basis for the activities. There is one great feature: if you lengthen the horse's neck, you will automatically get a giraffe template.

Elephant .

It is desirable to always have a template of such an animal, as it is very difficult to quickly draw the silhouette of an elephant. The problem is the proportionality of the legs and torso, and the trunk often looks like a hose. When making a template, it is better to cut out the ears separately.

You can create an elephant with a raised trunk, so you can create applications as follows:

• by drawing notes coming out of the trunk, you get an elephant that sings;
• blowing soap bubbles by gluing colorful circles on top;
• placing a bouquet of dried flowers or made of colored paper in the trunk;
• a sprinkling of water, with a splash of water;
• reaching out to someone; it is possible to represent the person to whom it is reaching out.

Turtle

Turtle crafts are interesting because of the shell. It allows for different techniques on the basis of a single pattern.

In addition, you can pick up a task for any age group of children. Also here you can use any materials:

• paint;
• cloth;
• plasticine;
• colored paper, etc.

Face templates

It is recommended to give children to make an appliqué, on the image of an animal's head, i.e. the child only has to assemble the animal's face from suitable parts (cheeks, nose, eyes, eyebrows, whiskers, color details, etc.).

The muzzle of each animal is unique, so that the child is clearly aware of the difference, it is desirable to give more tasks with portrait applications of animals.

Older children can be given the task of making the animal's muzzle look three-dimensional and interesting.

Templates can be made for crafts on any theme. Especially necessary for kindergarten, to facilitate the work of the kids. A teacher who has a whole set of templates quickly develops a desire for creativity in his or her pupils. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually replenish the collection with a variety of patterns: birds, pets, natural details (clouds, sun, tree, flowers), etc.
