In hot summertime meadow in flower beds and in the garden are flying, crawling, jumping, humming and chirping hundreds of different insects. An excellent opportunity to study them together with their children, to tell the kids about a little interesting and amazing world.
Let us make the most simple application of paper templates. Cope even two or three years of naturalists, and materials will need quite a bit: colored paper, scissors, glue, markers! The main condition that there was no wind, and that the wings, legs and other parts of our bugs, spiders are not flown into the grass.
To make a grasshopper, need a green paper two shades, ant - orange, ladybug - red for the wings and black for the head, calf, and specks. Cut appliqué elements according to the instruction, and then glue them to the base. The basis is better to use sketch pad with thick sheets. On each sheet, children can draw an insect house in flowers or grass, and then consider the album and show friends their creativity.
For caterpillars need more green and yellow shades, and for butterflies use the colors of the rainbow in the most incredible combinations. Not necessarily cut paper figures, they can take your fingers, use corrugated paper, twisted and crumpled napkins. Fun to use for the details photos and pictures from old magazines.
If you cut the wings of bees and dragonflies parchment paper or translucent package, they'll rustle. Very interesting, though lacy, openwork wings are obtained from paper napkins. And a dragonfly can be composed of multi-colored elements in the form of hearts.
When children make different insects, arrange them into a picture of the life of insects. Background for such films should be prepared in advance in the form of application paper grass, flowers, and then place it on the heroes. There is another option: first stick characters, and then draw a landscape paints, felt-tip pens.
you can vary the task: to apply in one picture a variety of materials, texture and technique. The basis for the application will not only rectangular sheet, but also directly figure insect which is decorated paper circles and squares. A more individual elements can be brightly painted, such as iridescent wings of a butterfly.
With applications of insect study with your child letters, pasting pompons for caterpillars. Ladybug will learn to count, butterflies - to study color. Give your child a job to do part of the same characters.
A great idea would be to study the color sorter. Application in the form of a large insect (the easiest way - tracks) is glued to the vertical plane a solid foundation.
Prepare for the assembly of caterpillar circular elements of different colors separately - small colorful figures of the same color. Well, if they are also of different shapes and made of paper with one sticky side. The task is easier - sort by color figures and stick to the parts of the same color.
Studying insects, be sure to remind the children that bugs and butterflies - live and are a part of nature.
