Applique classes are recommended for children from two years old, as they perfectly develop fine motor skills, accuracy, and creative skills.

Introduction to this type of creativity should start with simple pictures of geometric shapes, gradually folding them into flowers and animals.

One of the simplest pictures for children 3 years old is the application ''Dog''. There are many different ways and methods of application with which you can make a dog or puppy.

Let's take a closer look at how to complete a few of them.

What is required for the application

You will need the following materials and tools:

• disposable plate;
• set of colored paper (brown, black, pink);
• scissors;
• glue;
• sticky eyes, but not necessary (although it will make things a lot easier for little kids).

Glue the dog together

To make your paper application "Dog" beautiful, follow these recommendations.

1. Fold brown paper in half and cut out a pear shape. There should be two such figures. These will be the ears of the dog.
2. Cut out three uneven brown spots. You can even have different colors.
3. Next, cut out a large ovalfrom black paper. This will be the nose, and the small pink semicircle will be the tongue.
4. Now glue all parts of the muzzle onto a plate. Draw a mouth, and glue the eyes. Eyes can be ready-made, or you can cut them out of paper of the color you need.

So the ''Dog'' application is ready.

Alternatively, you can form a picture not by individual geometric shapes, but by a whole image.

To do this, draw a silhouette of a dog on paper and cut it out. If you are not good at drawing our four-legged brothers - this is not a big problem, just print out the dog template (preferably on cardboard). Cut it out and trace on the paper of the desired color.

This template will be useful to you so that in the future you will get more than one ''Dog'' application. You can use this form, or find any other.

Next, just paste the carved dog and create some kind of surrounding background for it in the picture. It is best to stick on a solid base, such as cardboard.

Glue a dog from geometric shapes

But for young children, it will be more useful and interesting to make a picture from small parts, like a puzzle. Therefore, here is another way to apply on this topic.

1. Cut out two identical circles from dark brown paper.
2. Cut two more circles out of the lighter shade of brown. Cut them in half.
3. Cut out two ovals (eyes) and a small circle (nose) from black paper.
4. Glue twothe first circle together, as if making a snowman.
5. Glue two halves of the circle as ears, and one as a tail.
6. Make a face by gluing the eyes and nose. Draw the mouth.

Applique ''Dog'' finished. Everything is very easy and simple. Children will be interested in making puppies on their own or under your strict guidance.

Over time, you can try other ways to apply your four-legged friend. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment, and you should not do everything according to a template. Make your adjustments as you would any other creative activity.
