Making a migratory birds applique with your own hands
As an example, children are shown the work that last year's students in the senior group completed. The applique depicts clouds, the sun and birds cut out of paper. All the birds fly in one direction.
The teacher reminds students of the rules for working with scissors and glue. The birds on the applique are swans. They are quite difficult to cut out, so the teacher took care and cut out the swan template in advance. Children take turns tracing it with a pencil and cutting out their birds. They draw the sun and clouds themselves and cut them out. Then it’s time to work with glue. Kids carefully apply glue to the figures with a brush and glue them onto dark cardboard.
In autumn, the theme of birds can be expanded, taking into account the natural material available for creativity - these are all kinds of leaves. This brings up the idea of making a firebird out of leaves. It is very interesting. Firstly, this is a fairy-tale character, and secondly, no one has seen her, therefore, the flight of fancy is not limited. Still, the teacher shows an example, it is given below.
During the walk, the children collected leaves and now they lie in front of them on the table.
In addition to the leaves you will need:
- cardboard;
- brush;
- PVA glue;
- napkin.
Children carefully examine the example given to them and begin to select the leaves that suit them. Then they lay them out on cardboard and form a firebird. When you like the result, begin to carefully glue the leaves. The glue needs to be applied a little and pointwise so that the leaves do not become deformed. The applique needs to be left for a while so that the glue dries, and then you can admire it.
The most interesting bird appliques are made from bird feathers. A sketch of the future painting is being thought out. The first question to decide is where to get the feathers? It turns out that they are sold together with other accessories. There are even online stores where you can choose them without leaving your home. In short, you won’t have to chase roosters. The variety of feathers is amazing. Therefore, you must first decide what kind of bird it will be and choose feathers accordingly. For example, the firebird is selected, as in the figure. You can look at various books and pictures in them to choose the right character. Many people will probably be attracted to the firebird, but you can make simpler birds. However, it is clear that if you do more complex work, then simple ones will turn out.
To work you need to prepare:
- bright feathers of several colors;
- colored cardboard;
- white paper;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- brush.
Step-by-step instruction.
Now we begin to revive our bird. At the end of the tail we glue feathers of the color you like. There are no rules here. You need to rely on your mood and your taste. It will look something like this:
We retreat a couple of centimeters and glue the next row, guided by the same principles.
Let's move on to the wings. Like the tail, we gradually decorate first one and then the second wing using an overlay method similar to tiles. Each subsequent feather overlaps the previous one. If necessary, the feathers can be trimmed. The glue must be used carefully so as not to smear it and stain the feathers. Continue gluing feathers onto the body and head from bottom to top. Decorate the top of the bird with a tuft of feathers of a different color. Here's the result:
If you wanted to add eyes, claws, beak and other small details, you could use beads, leather scraps or plant seeds.
Feathers can be used to create many different designs. It doesn't have to be birds. These could be flowers, animals, houses with trees. It's easy to make a Christmas tree out of feathers. White feathers will make a snow-covered Christmas tree; if you want a green one, you can paint the feathers with brilliant green or any available paint.
The main thing is to let your imagination go free!

"Birds fly south"
Target
: to develop children’s ability to convey in appliqué the image of birds, the image of an autumn forest - by performing symmetrical cuttings from colored paper, beautifully arranging images on a sheet.
Tasks:
- practice cutting corners of squares, rounding them. Develop the ability to work correctly with scissors. To develop in children creative abilities, a sense of beauty, the ability to understand and appreciate the beauty and richness of the world around them.
— continue to teach children how to carefully glue parts, use glue and a brush; fix the names of geometric shapes;
— to cultivate a caring attitude towards birds, a love for wildlife and a desire to take care of birds; accuracy and attentiveness.
Equipment:
bird template for symmetrical cutting, pieces of colored paper of different colors and sizes, a sheet of blue or purple cardboard (base), felt-tip pens, glue, scissors.
Progress of the lesson

Educator:
Tell me guys, what time of year is it now?
Children: Autumn.
Educator:
What signs of autumn can you name?
Children: Children's answers.
Educator:
How can you call birds that fly to warmer regions in one word?
Children: Migratory.
Educator
: Well done! Now, guess the riddles. Having solved them, you will find out who we will be making today.
In autumn, a migratory bird rushes south like a wedge. (Crane)
A wedge has formed in the sky,
Birds are large and slender.
They will fly south
What to call the worthy? (Crane)
Educator:
Crane. He flies away with the onset of the first cold weather.
Educator:
Today we will make an autumn forest and birds flying to warmer climes.
To do this, you need to crumple the pieces of colored paper well, then straighten them out. Fold the crumpled pieces in half and cut off the top corners to create tree crowns in an autumn palette.
Glue the silhouettes of trees to the bottom of the sheet, thus creating a beautiful autumn forest. Fold the white rectangles in half, trace the bird template with a simple pencil, and cut out the silhouettes of the birds along the contour. Glue one half of the bird's silhouette, bend the other so that the visual effect of the wingspan appears, and the bird figures acquire volume. Make shallow cuts along the edge of the wing, add eyes and beaks, tree trunks and branches.
Physical education lesson: A crane walks on water. And dreams of food. You, crane, don’t yawn, raise your legs higher, To catch food in the water, He needs to bend down. Come on, bend over too, and reach for your toes.
The children get to work.
Help if necessary.
Educator:
Look at our work. How wonderful they turned out: a bright forest with autumn trees and birds flying to warmer lands.
Paper birds
You can make an applique of migratory birds from paper using:
- Colored paper;
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Paint;
- Cardboard for the base.
First, let's prepare the background. It will be blue skies with some clouds. To do this, take blue and white cardboard. We cut out small clouds from white cardboard and glue them to the blue background.
When the birds are cut out of colored paper, glue them to the cardboard. The finished picture can be supplemented with trees below, cut out of paper or drawn by hand.
You can also make an applique “Birds on Branches” from paper.
You need to take colored paper, scissors, glue and cardboard for the base.
From paper we cut out the details of the bird: body, tummy, wings, eyes, legs and beak. We also cut out a branch on which the bird will sit. When the parts are ready, glue them in order.
First, glue the branch to the cardboard, then the torso and tummy. Then paws so that the bird is sitting on a branch. Next we glue the head to the body, wings, place the eyes and beak. You can decorate the space of the painting at will with the sun, berries on a branch, clouds, and so on.
Leaf craft
Making a firebird from leaves is not at all difficult, just take:
- Dry leaves;
- Glue;
- Paints;
- Glue gun;
- Cardboard for the base.
The first step is to prepare the cardboard for the base. You can paint it the color you want or choose a pre-colored one.
When the paint on the leaves has dried, glue them to the base. Apply a thick layer of hot glue to the cardboard, and also put dots on each leaf so that it sticks well. We lay the leaves on the cardboard as intended and press well. You can use a napkin to remove excess glue.
It's important to remember that hot glue hardens very quickly, so if there are visible marks left, you can paint them with the same paint as the leaves to help the colors blend together.
The next step is to create the body of the bird. For it you will need a dry leaf, different in color from the ones we chose for the tail. We glue it on top of the tail, and also press it tightly with a napkin so that the body sticks well to the leaves.
Cut out the legs and eyes from a dark piece of paper or cardboard and glue them to the body of the firebird.
