A dog is one of the most beloved pets, so children will be happy to make this animal. Appliquéing is not only an interesting, but also a useful activity. It promotes the development of fine motor skills and creative abilities.

To make an application you need:

Scissors

A sheet of thick paper for gluing the base (optional)

Step-by-step application process

1. Print out the templates for making the applique.

2. Template - the base of the applique can be glued to a sheet of thick paper.

3. Cut out the parts to make the applique (chest with front paws and puppy’s head).

4. Bend the valve onto the “breast” part along the dotted line.

Apply glue to the area marked with the droplet. Glue the chest with legs to the puppy's body. At the same time, we glue one leg onto the other so that the breast turns out to be convex.

We see the volume.

5. Bend the valves onto the “head” part along the dotted lines. Apply glue to the areas marked with droplets. We glue the head so that it has a convex shape.

Glue the head onto the picture.

Our volumetric applique is ready.

You can use this applique to make a postcard or decorate your interior.

An applique on the theme of a dog or a puppy is performed in the preparatory group of a kindergarten in different variations: traditionally from ordinary shapes, from geometric shapes and using the fabric technique.

The plot of a picture with such a simple and understandable pet as a dog can be very many - you can completely trust the children’s imagination, so that the kids themselves come up with their own story.

The advantage of such a craft is that it can be made in any group: in the younger and middle children, you can ask them to create a composition of figures, and in the older group, make a craft from fabric.

You need to start, of course, with the simplest option. This MK is an excellent option for beginners, since step-by-step instructions for its implementation will not seem difficult even to the smallest.

For this craft we will need:

• sheets of colored paper;
• “circle” stencil;
• glue;
• scissors;
• a sheet of children's cardboard;
• black felt-tip pen.

Instructions with a detailed description of each step are not needed here, since you can simply print the picture and cut out all the details along the contour.

In the simplest version, the step-by-step method will be like this:

Advice! When making parts using templates, it is better to use paper of different colors - then the applique will turn out more elegant.

Another option is a little more complicated, but it will be more interesting for children. In this case, you need to gradually cut out several shapes from paper: semicircles, circles of different sizes and fifths of a circle. Children will be able to do this with their own hands, but they must be given stencils - the ratio of parts is very important here, as shown in the pictures.

There are a lot of ideas for creating an applique from various shapes: here are a few more dog options.

On the other hand, you can do without a ready-made version and draw your own drawing, which will serve as a stencil. Of course, for preschoolers the second option will be more interesting.

Puppy applique

The first thing that comes to mind: a puppy is a small dog, and you can make an applique in the same style, just smaller in size. This is a completely suitable option, but there is no difficulty in making other figurines of a small dog yourself.

You can cut out a cartoon puppy according to a template - such an applique, of course, will be a great success.

Dog with a booth

Of course, the dog needs its own house, which can also be made using the appliqué technique. It would be better to make it in the form of a pocket made of fancy paper - you can put a cut-out dog in such an envelope, and as a result, each pet will have its own house.

And here is a version of a dog house, decorated with a tasty bone:

If the children are still small and it is difficult for them to make a dog themselves, you can draw it and cut it out, and only then glue the figurine.

For older children, you can make a three-dimensional booth with a dog. Using a template, or you can develop and glue it yourself, taking it as an example.

Postcard applique “Cheerful Puppy”

This application will be interesting because it moves. And it's not difficult to do.

We cut out the templates in advance and assemble them step by step. The result will be a happy puppy. You can make the eyes yourself or buy movable ones, this will make the card look more fun.

Border guard with a dog

A dog is a person’s faithful friend, who not only lives next to him, but also performs many tasks. Of course, this can be played out when making applique with kids. Why not, for example, make a postcard for dad on February 23rd on the theme: “Border guard with a dog”?

It’s quite interesting if you print out a picture and make an applique based on it.

Fabric applications

An applique is not always a paper craft. For example, why not make a dog from their fabric? This craft is an opportunity to start mastering a new craft technique.

Children are very interested in working with such material as fabric. They can choose the colors themselves, because... This is not colored plain paper. We cut out the fabric according to the template; it is advisable not to use silk fabrics, they are poorly attached with glue. We use cardboard as a base; a thin sheet of paper will be deformed due to moisture and the applique will lose its shape. It is fashionable to use regular PVA glue or a glue gun. If the child is older, then the applique can be sewn on, but for this we use a fabric base.

We have prepared several more templates for you that you can use for creativity with children.

The dogs of their fabrics turn out to be much more fun. They are like soft toys: they look cute and attractive.

A love of work is instilled from childhood when parents devote time to working together. These are not only everyday processes, which certainly should be, but also lessons in creativity. To learn the details, how to make the general from the particular, to learn space, colors and structures - the most universal technique that embraces many functions is appliqué. It is important to ensure safety in the process. Prepare your workplace, cover the surface, prepare the material - this will save time later so as not to be distracted. You can dress in work clothes or some sort of coordinated uniform.

Traditionally, work on this topic is carried out in the preparatory classes of kindergarten. Most often, animals are made from geometric shapes using paper or fabric techniques.

The image can contain only a pet or a whole plot in which the dog plays the main role. Everything is based on children's imagination. Therefore, when preparing materials, first discuss with your child what exactly he wants to see at the end of the journey.

Works from geometric shapes

The simplest option for the little ones. This master class involves the use of a minimum number of parts. Stock up on stationery kit, glue, cardboard for the base and a black marker.

To further simplify the task and the process of creating blanks, we suggest using a special template. Print it out and cut out the shapes.

If you don’t bother with processing the background and decor, but concentrate on the most important character in the picture, the step-by-step instructions consist of the following points:

1. Cut two of the four circles in half.
2. On the base, lay out the details of the dog in the desired position.

1. Stick them on sequentially, starting with the ears and paws of the tail.
2. Then move on to the belly.
3. Finish with the head, on which, using a marker or felt-tip pen, draw the pet’s face.

If you are using the suggested template as a stencil, use different shades of paper to make the dog more beautiful. In the examples presented, you can see options for applications, the creation of which also used geometric shapes, but in more complex designs.

You can also use your own drawing. The possibilities of technology are limitless and depend only on your imagination.

Little dogs are very cute and kids like them. Therefore, the child will happily agree to make such a product with his own hands. Using special templates, making a dog using the appliqué technique will not be difficult. It is enough to print and cut out the dog’s body parts, and then, together with the child, stick their base onto something dense.

Pet house

Every dog ​​needs its own kennel. You can make a box in the shape of a pocket so that the animal can be hidden inside.

Sequencing:

1. Make a small dog.
2. Select a piece of cardboard the size of it and draw an outline.
3. Cut along the line and glue the blank onto a thick base.
4. Let's start creating a house.
5. Prepare a paper square that will be larger than the pet.
6. Cut a round window in it.
7. Attach the roof to the cardboard base, but do not completely glue the booth itself, but only along the bottom and side contours.
8. Through the upper opening, you can put the dog inside so that it looks out the window.

There is another option from which you can make a game for a child. Make several houses of different colors and the same number of doggies. Glue them scattered on a large sheet of paper and give the little one the task of drawing a leash from the animal to the kennel in its color.

An example is shown in the figure.

There are also non-functional types of crafts on this topic.

Older children will be interested in creating a three-dimensional booth. We provide a template as a training lesson. The master class has been translated and adapted for your convenience.

Postcard

A functional product with movable elements will make a wonderful postcard and children will love it.

It seems complicated only at first glance. If you prepare all the necessary details in advance and strictly follow the step-by-step instructions in the pictures, you will succeed.

Step-by-step review of the application master class

Necessary materials:

• White list
• Colored paper
• Stickers – for small parts
• Scissors
• Felt pen
• Pencil

First, draw your pet on a white sheet of paper, in this case a dog. This is your template that your child will work with. You can draw both the whole image and the details separately, which we cut out from colored sheets.

On stickers of different colors (plain and colorful with funny pictures) you create small details or your color accents of the animal.

It should be noted that the more shares, the more exciting the process and the final result. Decor is a separate part of your collective work, which depends only on the impulse of imagination and ingenuity. After cutting out all the little things, we begin to connect them. We take the base and glue in the ears first, then place the tail behind the body.

It will also be interesting to make animals that have spots on them - these are nice unique highlights. Next we glue the paws, you can also cut out the dark outlines of the fingers and small nails on them.

Installing eyes. In your blank, create the white and pupil separately, instilling realism in the animal. Later the spout.

Use a felt-tip pen to draw out the mouth, mustache and cheeks, as well as eyelashes. Returning to stickers, if you have any small objects illustrating (for example, a bone, a suitcase or words), add to the pet.

The work is completed, but if you want to make it even more interesting, you can cut out its back part based on the base (or immediately take double-sided colored paper) and add elements to the back, then you will want to look at this dog more. Instead of the pupils of the eyes, you can attach beads, rhinestones or buttons. And if you have scraps, for example from fur products, they can be installed instead of a birthmark on the ear or tail.

It is very important not to limit yourself to the texture of the elements: cover the face with glitter or place a bug on a leg. Don't limit yourself to working with the same elements. The decorating process will be interesting for you and your child if you both show your creativity.

Using the same principle, create wild animals, dinosaurs, cartoon characters and invent various fairy-tale stories that will be imprinted in the child’s memory. With the help of these home-made characters, you can learn counting, languages, and remember colors and body parts. The game form will help the baby to quickly and easily grasp and remember information. Also for you, a serious process will turn into pleasure.
