For the successful development of a child great importance has activities for the development of fine motor skills of hands. One of the types of such activities are colored paper applications, the templates for which are developed by methodologists, taking into account the peculiarities age groups preschoolers.
It is important that the complexity of the task corresponds to the age of the child, that the classes are carried out systematically, gradually becoming more difficult, and take place under the supervision and with the help of adults.
Paper applications- a creative process through which children learn about the world around them and acquire many skills. In addition to the development of fine motor skills of the hands, this is coordination of movements, the study of colors and their combinations, the concept of composition, acquaintance with various materials and textures, the development of observation, imagination and fantasy.
Working on the application in a team contributes to organization, endurance, accuracy. It is also necessary to note the development of spatial imagination: while doing appliqué, children create a whole from several components and, conversely, learn to divide the whole into parts.
Scientists have proven that in the cerebral cortex, the center responsible for fine motor skills, located next to the speech center and promotes the development of speech skills.
Types of applications according to the template
There are three main types of applications:
- subject - the cut parts have a simple, clear shape and proportions, an image is created that is not associated with any plot;
- plot-thematic - correspondence to a certain plot (taken from a fairy tale or invented independently);
- decorative - decoration of postcards, photo frames with patterns of geometric shapes.
Simple applications for children 2-3 years old
Simple appliques from colored paper using templates can be practiced from 2 years old. However, some experts believe that children from 1 year old can also perform feasible tasks.
Initial lessons are gluing pieces of paper on a sheet in an arbitrary form. At this stage, the child must understand and remember the basic actions: spread, turn over, attach, smooth. The process itself attracts kids so far, they will strive for the result later.
At the second level of complexity, templates are used. The child must also place the elements randomly, but within the contour, and a certain image appears.
Application template from colored paper "Hedgehog" A template is a schematic image of a future picture, drawn or printed on a printer. Simple patterns for colored paper applications can be, for example, a Christmas tree with balls, a tree with apples and others.
For such work, you need to prepare elements: balls, apples, etc. The child must determine for himself how to place them on the templates.
Application template "Palm tree" 
Application template "Flower" For small children there will be interesting performance simple breakaway application. The kid watches how the adult tears the paper into long strips, then he tears them into pieces. These pieces need to fill the contour. 
If the child wants to tear the paper himself, then these uneven, awkward strips can also be used to make an application, for example, grass. Ants are drawn with finger paints.
Further, the task becomes more complicated: you need to get the element to a specific place in the template or the drawn contour. So, with the help of cut out circles, an image of a caterpillar is made. At this stage, children are interested not only in the process, but also in the result. 
When making applications from colored paper using patterns and contours with children under 3 years old, prepared cut-out elements are used.
A three-year-old child can already be taught how to work with scissors with rounded ends.
At the same time, it is necessary to explain how to properly hold scissors and paper so as not to get hurt. You need to start with straight cuts, then work out the bends and roundings.
At this age, children are already able to create simple plot pictures. The elements glued onto the template allow you to create a specific image.
The background for the application can be a drawn contour with partially drawn elements. For example, children can populate a template aquarium with algae and stones at the bottom with inhabitants: fish, jellyfish, etc.
An interesting activity can be the connection and gluing of the cut picture. If the child copes with such a task easily, it is recommended to complicate it: add raindrops to the umbrella, glue windows to the house with an attached roof. Such activities develop fantasy, observation, a sense of proportion.
Applications for children 4-5 years old
At this age, colored paper applications and patterns for them become more difficult. Preparing, together with an adult, elements for a future picture, the child shows more independence: he cuts out, selects colors and, thus, gets an idea about the composition.
This activity develops logical thinking, allows you to show creative inclinations.
For children 4-5 years old, making postcards is an exciting activity, which they then give to their parents and friends.
The base is folded in half and elements are glued inside the card, forming a plot picture.
The templates developed by experts are only examples to indicate the direction of work.
Parents and educators can contribute their ideas. For example, the use of a cut-out contour of a baby’s palm in an application - such pictures cause amazement and delight in children.
Applications with a palm The application technique from one circles reveals for the child the relationship of parts and the whole.
Developing the creative imagination of the child, you should show him various methods of working with paper: for example, fold it in the form of an accordion. For such a picture, you need to prepare the base, apply the contours. The gluing process is also complicated. 
Complex applications for children 6-7 years old
Children of senior preschool and junior school age already have certain skills.
Classes with colored paper applique using templates during this period help to further develop fine motor skills, thinking, memory and concentration, and the ability to plan one's activities is developed.
An important circumstance is that the child foresees the final result of his work. 
At this age, children consolidate the skill of cutting out individual details and solid silhouettes, symmetrical elements from paper folded in half, as well as the ability to create compositions and correctly place their individual parts on the basis.
At this stage, children learn color combinations, analyze and compare details. The texture of the material also becomes diverse: in addition to ordinary colored paper, crepe (“crumpled”), highlighted (glossy), textured (embossed or imitating velvet), and foil are used.
During this period, you can move on to voluminous symmetrical compositions. 
To perform such a task, templates (clouds, Balloons) are cut in the usual way. Next, two identical templates are folded in the center and fastened together (can be sewn). Prepared elements are glued to the base.
To make a three-dimensional bird, the template is folded in half and glued together, except for the wings, which are folded along the dotted line. 
The result obtained can be glued with one side and a wing on the base (in the form of an appliqué) or turned into a craft by tying it to a thread and hanging it on a twig. 
Having learned the basics of composition at the previous stages, children of 6-7 years old are able to create whole pictures - landscapes, still lifes, using ready-made templates for applications from colored paper or making them with the help of a teacher or parents.
Applications using a disposable plate
Disposable plates are a convenient material with which you can create original and beautiful compositions. Made of polystyrene or cardboard, in different colors, with different embossed patterns, they can be both the basis for the application and the elements for it. 
Children can be involved in making applications from colored paper on a disposable plate using templates. younger age. On a prepared colored background, children arrange simple elements in the form of a pattern.
A more complicated option is to use two or more colors for the background and more complex elements. Children 6-7 years old already make thematic compositions on plates or use them as material for individual elements.
Examples of gradually becoming more complex applications on plates: 
Combined applications
When making applications from colored paper, patterns can be diversified by combining various materials.
Grain applications
This type of application can be done even with small children. The algorithm of work is as follows: an adult applies glue to the prepared drawing, the child pours grits on it and presses it lightly with his finger. 
The remaining non-glued grains must be shaken off. Such an activity brings up attentiveness and accuracy in a child.
Older children can use different types croup. In this case, the glue is applied alternately to individual sections. For the colorfulness of the picture, it is recommended to pre-tint the grits with gouache in different colors. As a template, you can take your own drawing of the child, this stimulates him, inspires him.
Button applications
To perform such an application, preliminary preparation is necessary. Having studied the drawing and choosing colors, the child, with the help of adults, selects buttons that are suitable in color and size. Then you should lay them out in a drawing to represent the desired result, and proceed with gluing. 
For younger children who do not yet have the necessary skills, you can apply a pattern according to the template on a layer of plasticine - the child will attach the buttons by pressing. This technique is applicable when working with cereals.
For combined applications, cotton wool, napkins, eggshells, natural materials - leaves, petals, seeds and much more are also used.
Multi-layer applications
Multi-layer (overhead) applications of colored paper or other materials are made using templates designed or made independently.
Such work develops spatial imagination, brings up aesthetic taste. They are made of paper, fabric, leather, felt - the main thing is that the edges of the material do not crumble. 
Multilayer applications, like other varieties, come in varying degrees of complexity. For little ones, this is a simple gluing of parts on top of each other. By pinning elements from only one edge, you can create a three-dimensional effect.
More complex appliqués are characterized by more detail and require good scissor skills, a sense of proportion and color.
Older children, with well-developed fine motor skills of their hands, who have the skills to make complex details, create real works of art - unusual compositions and even portraits. Light and shade effects give them a special brilliance.
Multilayer application is already a truly creative process in which the imagination and artistic abilities of the child are manifested. You need to think about the image color scheme, the sequence of actions, so such work implies a certain level of intelligence.
Applications from pieces
Applications from cut or torn pieces of colored paper using templates are a fairly simple look, even small children can do them. A drawing must be applied to the base sheet. In addition to ready-made templates, you can use children's coloring pages or come up with a sketch yourself.
The production of appliqué elements is carried out together with the child - small children are happy to tear the paper into pieces. If you already have scissor skills, you can allow these elements to be cut out.
Important detail: what younger child, the larger the fragments should be.
After choosing the right colors, you can start gluing. Glue is applied not to small parts, but to the template, in sections.
When working with kids, this process is carried out by an adult, older children themselves apply glue with a brush. When gluing pieces of paper, the child must exactly fall into the contour.
A kind of appliqué from pieces is trimming. This technique is quite complicated, but for children of 6-7 years old it is quite within their power, especially when working together.
To master the technique of facing, teachers and parents are offered master classes on this topic.
Autumn themed applications
The bright colors of autumn make it possible to create colorful pictures of autumn nature. For applications on this topic, both colored paper and natural materials are used: multi-colored leaves, petals of late flowers, seeds, spikelets, twigs and other objects. 
When making applications for autumn theme from colored paper according to templates and in a free composition, the main attributes are preserved - flowers, mushrooms, fruits, acorns, silhouettes of trees are cut and painted. Mandatory component - autumn leaves.
When working with natural material you need to prepare it. The collected leaves must first be leveled and dried under pressure. If the leaf needs to be given any shape, then a fresh leaf is used for this, which is then dried.
For collages and mosaic paintings, you can prepare cardboard templates on which elements are glued. 
Autumn nature is fertile ground for the flight of children's imagination. Leaves appliqués, placed in a photo frame, will decorate any interior.
Autumn lanterns will also be a spectacular decoration. To do this, a glass vessel is glued on the outside with multi-colored leaves (paper or natural), a small candle is placed inside.
Winter themed applications
To create winter and, in particular, New Year's applications any of the described techniques is used, depending on the age of the children.
The most common type of winter applications are snowflakes - this is a subspecies of silhouette-type applications. It is recommended to fold the sheet correctly, cut off the edge and sharp corner, it is recommended to make cuts first on plain paper - this is how the skill is developed.
In addition, pendants made of such snowflakes decorate the room. Thin, airy snowflakes can be stuck on windows and other surfaces. 
For young children, it is better to prepare templates (circles with an outline) and make a broken snowflake from pieces. For flat, voluminous, multi-layered snowflakes, it is required to prepare patterns for cutting.
To make a traditional Christmas tree, kids use green paper triangles, a snowman is made from white circles, a teacher or parent helps to complete the application with details. 
Older children can be invited to make a Christmas tree from strips of paper or create a picture of a winter forest using templates using small pieces of paper or cotton wool. 
A Christmas tree made of paper balls looks bright and voluminous. For this, a template and elements are made of crepe paper. The main color is dark green, multi-colored balls are made for the garland.
Interesting application with the image of winter accessories allows children to show creative imagination.
Hats and mittens can be decorated with any ornament, animal figurines, winter pictures, beads or rhinestones.
Cotton wool is used to imitate fur. 
Using a disposable plate, you can make a polar bear mask craft. Holes are cut out in the plate - eyes, the surface is pasted over with pieces of paper, a disposable cup is used for the nose. 
Senior preschoolers and elementary school students are able, under the guidance of adults, to create complex winter landscapes using mixed media. 
Spring themed applications
Snowdrops and lilies of the valley, starlings and flowering trees - these signs of spring are traditionally used in children's colored paper applications using templates. The smallest perform simple tasks, placing the prepared elements on the contours. The same images can be complicated by adding pictures of spring nature. 
More complex compositions - voluminous, multi-layered, with a large number of elements - are created by children who have the skills to work with glue, scissors, a brush and use different techniques.
Lilacs in a vase of cereals, a spring picture in the technique of drawing and application - these and many other ideas are offered by specialists to parents and educators for developing activities with children. 
The application is visual activity. Having achieved the desired result, the child experiences aesthetic pleasure, thereby joining the world of beauty, the world of art. An easy and child-friendly way to create artwork makes the application one of the favorite types of educational activities with children.
