We outline the palms and draw together with the parents. Drawing with palms and fingers consultation on drawing (junior group) on the topic

The palm is the first and most convenient tool with which a child can begin his artistic creativity.



Elk. Trace the child's leg on a piece of album paper and cut it out. Circle the right and left handle child, paint with brown paint, cut out. Glue the handles to the heel to create horns. On the face, draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It turned out to be a cute moose.



Flower. Draw the middle of the flower and make impressions in a circle with your palms - these are the petals.



Sun. Place your palm in the corner of the sheet, spread your fingers wider, you get a sun with rays pointing down.



Cockerel. We outline the palm, connect it at the bottom, and finish drawing the legs. The thumb is the beak, the four fingers are the scallop. There is an eye on the palm. You can paint each finger a different color, like multi-colored feathers. The cockerel definitely needs to be fed, so let's draw dots - grains.



Tree. Draw a tree (trunk and branches) on paper, and leaves with your palms. In summer - green, in autumn - yellow and red.



Octopus. Trace your palm onto a piece of paper, fingers down. Round the palm - this is the head of an octopus. Draw eyes, a nose, a mouth - it turns out very cute!



Elephant. Print your palm down with your fingers and stick out your thumb (this is the trunk), finish drawing the ear, eyes and tusks, the tail too, and you're done!



If you connect two palms, you can depict a butterfly or a bird. Also, by tracing your palms, you can make an applique from pieces of plain colored paper or from a magazine. And the child already fantasizes himself, choosing colors.



Tuchka. Clench your palm into a fist and circle it, you get a cloud. Draw drops of rain, and the cloud will transform into a cloud.



Bunny. We trace the palm and cut it out. Then we bend the big, ring and little fingers. it turns out to be a bunny. We draw eyes, mouth, nose.



Crocodile. Cut out the palm. Bend the ring and little fingers. the thumb is the eye, and the index and middle fingers are the mouth. If you have curly scissors, you can cut out this palm with such scissors - you will get a crocodile with pimples).



Herringbone. Place your palm with your fingers down. First one, then two, etc. according to the pyramid principle. Top down.



Magpie. We draw a circle (head), an oval (torso), print palms on the sides with spread fingers (wings), and fingers together at the bottom (tail). Finish drawing the beak - you get a flying magpie!

And a few more simple recipes preparing finger paints.

Finger paint recipe No. 1. 0.5 kg flour, 5 tbsp. spoons of salt, 2 tbsp. spoons of vegetable oil, add water - until the consistency of thick sour cream.
Mix all this with a mixer, then pour the resulting mass into separate jars, add food coloring (beetroot or carrot juice, as an option - Easter sets), mix until smooth.

Recipe for finger paints No. 2. In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup starch and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add 2 cups of cold water and place on low heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes a translucent gel-like mass. When this mass has cooled, add 1/4 cup of liquid dishwashing detergent to it (this will make the paints easily washable from clothes and other surfaces.) Then the mass should be divided into several portions and either food coloring or non-toxic gouache should be added to each portion.

Recipe for finger paints No. 3. Mix 1.5 cups of starch and 0.5 cups of cold water until smooth. Add a liter of boiling water there, stirring continuously until a transparent mass is obtained. While continuing to stir, add 0.5 cups of talcum powder. When the mixture has cooled, add 1.5 cups of soap flakes and stir well. Pour into jars, tint with powdered tempera and cool slightly.

Sometimes it is so difficult to draw an animal, and even more difficult to teach a child to draw himself, so that it really looks like it. We have selected lessons for you that will help you draw beautiful animals using your palms. Try it yourself!

You will draw adult animals, and the baby, due to the size of his palm, will draw their children. It should be a whole zoo. Take note if your child often asks to draw an animal, and you don’t know how to start.

Dodo bird

Squeeze your fingers together and move your thumb perpendicularly away from the entire palm. Let's circle. All that remains is to finish drawing the paws, beak and wing.

Giraffe

We press in the middle finger, move the rest to the sides and circle. All that remains is to decorate and you will get a giraffe with horns and ears.

Ostrich

From the usual combination of fingers when we show “Cool!” you just need to bend your fingers outward a little. We outline, draw thin long legs and teach the ostrich.

Peacock

We take turns circling the right and left hand, fingers spread freely. We circle the thumb only halfway. A peacock with a loose tail learned.

Turtle

Bend four fingers halfway. We move the big one a little to the side. We get a full-fledged body for the turtle.

Snake

Again, remember the fingers with the “Class” combination, and move the little finger away from this combination. We outline and color - we get a snake.

Elephant

We bend four fingers, move the slightly bent little finger, and also move the thumb to the side. We turn it over and decorate the future elephant.

Snail

We keep four fingers bent tightly together, move the thumb slightly to the side - we get a snail with a house, which only needs to be finished drawing the horns.

Fox

We repeat the combination of fingers as on the Giraffe, add fur and get the face of a fox.

Horse

Straighten four fingers and tuck the thumb under them. We get the head of a horse whose mane needs to be completed.

Mouse

We hold our fingers in a “Pistol” shape and trace it on paper. We finish drawing the ear and mustache - and we get a mouse face, almost like Jerry in profile.

Crocodile

We repeat the combination from the Mouse, that is, we again outline the palm assembled in the “Pistol” and finish drawing the sharp teeth. We get the Crocodile.

Mollusk

We trace the fingers in the same way as for the Snail. We decorate the animal’s house differently and turn it into a shell from which a Mollusk can be seen.

Frog

We press our thumb and circle the hand twice: first, four fingers together, turn it over and squeeze the two middle fingers a little. We circle and get the whole body of the Frog.

Drawing is one of the favorite activities of preschoolers, which takes them into the world of bright and amazing images. And if the teacher also offers unusual ways for this, then the kids are simply delighted. Drawing with palms evokes great positive emotions in children of all ages. This technique develops fine motor skills, color perception, and stimulates sensory sensations.

Features of organizing palm painting classes in kindergarten. Specifics of working in different groups, level of complexity of compositions

Hand drawing is very simple technique: The child dips his hands in paint or paints them with a brush, and then leaves a print on a piece of paper. This fascinating process is similar to fun game- children are liberated and reveal their creative potential.

In addition, when drawing with your palms, a large number of nerve endings that are located on these parts of the body are activated. This leads to activation of the cerebral cortex, and, as a consequence, the development of mental processes. This drawing technique is also a good reflex massage: after all, on the palms there are points associated with various organs.

When organizing classes in “palm” painting, the teacher must follow the principle “from simple to complex.” You can start such experiments with paint already in the first junior group. Two-year-old children do not yet know how to handle a brush, and painting with their palm is the best way to depict them. This technique gives children the opportunity to have direct contact with paint, simultaneously developing fine motor skills and, as a result, speech and intelligence.

Preschoolers and toddlers receive abstract images using palm prints. At this age, the goal is not to create a specific image - children are fascinated by the process itself, they enjoy bright colors and interaction with paint.

Two-year-olds enjoy drawing with their palms

In addition, “palm” painting calms a small child and gives him positive emotions. This is especially important during the adaptation period - the baby is distracted, calms down, and forgets about his mother. In addition, such activities are useful because they give children the opportunity to feel important and independent.

Hand drawing continues in the second younger group, especially since some children begin to attend kindergarten only from the age of three. Classes here are already moving to a more complex level: the child, with the help of the teacher, completes the handprint with simple details, creating the image of some simple object - the sun, a fish, a flower. At this age, preschoolers can already be offered collective work in this unconventional technology: each child leaves an imprint - the result is some kind of image (the sun or a tree with leaves).

Drawing by a pupil of the second junior group

In the middle group, drawing based on “palm” painting becomes even more complicated, the images become more detailed. A child, for example, can already depict a dinosaur or a dragon in this way, adding characteristic elements to the print: a comb, paws, an intricate tail.

Pupil's drawing middle group

By older preschool age, children, as a rule, are fluent in the technique of drawing with their palms and can create wonderful works. Five-year-old children can independently come up with a theme for a drawing, skillfully using acquired skills and abilities. Compositions are increasingly of a plot nature, for example, a horse grazing in a meadow or wild animals walking along the African savannah. Note that all images are carefully drawn and convey characteristic features items or objects.

Teamwork of students senior group

Drawing by a preparatory group student

In senior and preparatory group Preschoolers can no longer dip their hands into the paint, but apply it themselves with a brush. This method allows you to make a print not monochrome, but multi-colored: after all, fingers can be painted in different colors.

Children of senior preschool age apply paint to their palms with a brush.

Materials used and base, hygienic point

In the younger and middle groups, gouache paint is used for “palm” painting; it is slightly diluted with water and poured into a flat saucer so that it is easy for the child to place his palm there.

Note that a good alternative to gouache are water-based finger paints: they are easily washed off from the body and clothes, and in addition, they will not cause harm if the child decides to taste them. Finger paints do not spread, so your baby can easily apply them to his palm.

A wonderful alternative to gouache

In senior preschool age For painting with their palms, children can also be offered watercolors, since they themselves apply the paint to their palms with a brush.

Original works are obtained by combining materials. For example, key image The child draws with paint, and the background is completed with a pencil.

Drawing with watercolors and pencils

Also, applicative and plasticine elements can be successfully included in the composition. For example, multi-colored prints applied to a blue background can easily turn into jellyfish. The image will only need to be completed with eyes and fancy algae. The composition can be made more original by gluing voluminous eyes, and the seaweed can also be made embossed using applicative elements (breakfast cereal rings).

Drawing with applique elements

Another example - with the help of palms the prickly back of a hedgehog is depicted, and the rest of his body is decorated using appliqué from wads of napkins.

Combination of drawing and appliqué

Using plasticine you can beautifully design the eyes and legs of birds.

Plasticine elements are organically included in the watercolor drawing

As for the basis for the image, as a rule, the teacher offers the children paper in the traditional A4 format. However, occasionally non-standard materials, such as fabric, can be used for this purpose. This can be a variegated multi-colored material, but in which the child leaves an imprint in some rich color (for example, black, brown or dark blue). Another unusual option is drawing on plastic (finger paints should be offered to preschoolers for this purpose).

During the palm painting lesson, the teacher pays special attention to the hygienic aspect: children must have napkins (wet ones possible) at their workplace, which the child uses to wipe their hands before going to wash them.

Drawing techniques used in different groups: basic technique and finishing details

Drawing with palms does not require preschoolers to master any complex technique. In the younger and middle groups, kids simply dip a brush into the paint and leave a mark on the paper. When adding details to the image, the technique of working with the brush is already improved: elements, as a rule, are drawn with the tip, while the tool is located almost vertically in relation to the paper.

Note that children draw with both their right and left hands (for example, a butterfly can only be depicted with prints of two palms at once).

When supplementing the main image with details, the younger group often uses finger drawing (for example, in this way you can mark the eye of a fish or the pebbles next to it on the seabed). At an older age, cotton swabs can be offered for similar purposes. In addition, “palm” painting can be combined with a print.

The drawing successfully combines various non-traditional techniques - drawing with palms, fingers and imprinting

Pupils in the middle group are already learning to place an image in the center of the sheet, for example, it will be a bird sitting on a tree branch. In addition, they understand that if you press your palm harder onto the paper, the drawing will turn out more vivid.

Depending on the intended image, children should change the location of their fingers on their hand. For example, to depict a fish, you need to press your thumb against your palm. If a tree, sun, or butterfly is drawn, then all fingers, on the contrary, are spread out. You will get a realistic elephant if you stick your thumb out as far as possible from the rest.

In addition, the teacher explains to the students in the middle group that when making an imprint, the palm must be turned in a certain way. For example, when drawing animals, your fingers should point down, as they will represent the paws of the animal.

When creating an animal image, the palm is usually placed with the fingers down

From the age of five (senior group), preschoolers can independently paint their palms using a brush. At the same time, the teacher draws the children’s attention to the fact that the paint should be applied in an even layer, not too thick, but also without leaving empty spaces - the quality of the drawing depends on this. Each finger can be painted a different color, but you should remember to wash the brush in a timely manner.

Note that the choice of color along with well-drawn details is of key importance when drawing with palms. Let's give some examples. A red-yellow handprint can easily turn into a fire, you just need to add two stripes to the image brown(using broad strokes with the entire bristle of the brush).

Watercolor drawing

And the black print can become the original Batman mask - you just need to add recognizable details with the tip of the brush.

Watercolor drawing

From several two-color contours of the palms you will get a funny centipede. And to depict her head with horns, you need to raise your middle and ring fingers when typing.

Watercolor drawing

By applying paint onto the palms unevenly, with pale green spots, we get charming turtles with their characteristic uneven color.

Watercolor drawing

A white print on a green background is an almost finished image of a zebra; all that remains is to paint it with white stripes with the tip of a brush and finish drawing a graceful tail.

Gouache drawing

Card index of topics for different groups, including collective compositions

Let's present an approximate list of topics for each age group that can be used when teaching preschoolers how to draw with their palms:

Junior group:

• “Colored palms” (children learn to make handprints on paper).
• "Octopuses"
• “Golden Sun” (team work).
• “Leaf Fall” (team work).
• "A flower for mom."
• "My mittens."
• "Two merry geese lived with granny".
• "Grass".

Middle group:

• "Beauty Butterfly"
• “Titmouse” (as an option – “Bullfinch”, “Sparrow”, “Swans”).
• “Snake Gorynych” (as an option – “Dragon”, “Dinosaur”).
• “Spring” (grass with flowers is depicted using palms).

Senior group:

• “Underwater world” (as an option – “Aquarium”).
• "Beautiful bouquet."
• "Butterfly in the Meadow"
• "Fairytale Bird"
• "Multi-colored cockerel."
• "Elephant".
• “Fairytale Forest” (alternatively – “Old Stump in the Forest”).
• “The forest is our wealth” (as an option – “Magic Forest”) (team work).

Preparatory group:

• "Crow".
• "Hedgehog".
• "Cactus".
• "Horse in the meadow."
• "Mysterious underwater world."
• "Dog".
• "Flowers in a vase."
• "Peacock".
• "Crow".
• “May there always be peace” (poster with images of birds against a background of nature) (team work)

Note that many topics are offered to children of different ages, for example, drawing a butterfly, fish, bird, flower. However, each group has its own level of difficulty.

For example, if early preschool children simply add the necessary details to a butterfly (eyes, antennae), then at an older age the image becomes more detailed: the image of an insect printed with the help of their palms is decorated with intricate patterns, interesting contrasting colors are selected. Similarly, the fish in the second younger group will simply be supplemented with eyes, and later the children will draw an entire underwater world based on such an image; sea inhabitants will differ from each other in color and scale pattern.

Class notes

Examples of drawings by preschoolers using the non-traditional technique of drawing with palms with comments on how to complete the work

Photo gallery “Works of pupils of the first junior group”

In the first junior group, kids simply practice “palm” painting, creating abstract images. To create a specific image, the teacher guides the child’s hands and himself completes the image with the necessary details - in this regard, the composition “Spider” is indicative. At this age, children are often offered group work, where the teacher again plays the leading role. For example, he draws the central part of the sun with eyes, a smile and a wreath, and the kids use their palms to depict its rays (“Golden Sun”). Another option is for the teacher to designate a tree trunk, and the children complement it with leaves from their palms or snow flakes. Also at this age, children are offered interpretations on a flower theme: they are invited to complement the drawn stem with buds from multi-colored palms (“Bouquet for Mommy”, “Flower for Beloved Mommy”).

Collective work Collective work Collective work Collective work Gouache drawing Collective work

Photo gallery “Works of pupils of the second junior group”

In the second younger group, preschoolers themselves create complete images, for example, they independently draw a stem with leaves and complement it with colorful buds using “palm” painting. Kids are able to draw a cockerel by drawing it characteristic features- red comb, paws and multi-colored tail. Often at this age, children draw a fish, adding eyes and a characteristic background (blue water, algae, pebbles).

Pupils of the second younger group themselves, without the help of a teacher, draw a tree, passing its crown with the help of their palm (“ Autumn tree"and the collective composition "The forest is our wealth").

The “Pink Elephant” drawing is of interest: although the animal is not drawn very proportionally, characteristic features are still visible: a trunk, large ears, a small tail.

Gouache drawing Team work Gouache drawing Gouache drawing Gouache drawing Gouache drawing Gouache drawing

Photo gallery “Works of secondary group students”

In the middle group we see work of a more complex level. The fish already have their own character, an intricate pattern of scales. The drawing has a more complex composition: fish, for example, swim towards each other (“Happy Fish”).

Trees are depicted in an interesting way: the branches are not just lined with fingers: smaller elements extend from them, resulting in an elegant image. In this regard, the work “The Magic Forest” is indicative. The mysterious trees here are also complemented by applicative details - squirrels sitting in a hollow. A positive mood comes from the “Spring” drawing: flower stems are drawn here with the help of palms, each of which is decorated with a beautiful bright yellow bud with a red core. Interesting intricately shaped cacti are depicted using palm painting in the composition “Giraffe in Africa”.

Pupils in the middle group are already quite good at depicting animals and birds, giving the image characteristic details. This is the “Giraffe” with its beautiful spotted coloring, horns and hooves, and the titmouse with a yellow breast and ruffled feathers. Children successfully draw even the fairytale Serpent Gorynych (“Serpent Gorynych”, “My Favorite Fairy Tale”).

Also at this age, collective works are practiced, for example, the fantasy composition “Falling Leaves and Falling Stars,” where yellow palms symbolize falling stars.

Photo gallery “Works of senior group students”

Pupils of the senior group create more detailed subject compositions and complicated plots. Thus, a giraffe, created with the help of palms, has a carefully drawn muzzle and a tail with a tassel at the end (“Giraffe”). The picture “Little Raven” turned out to be a funny bird: it has funnyly spread its wings, ruffled its feathers, its red legs and beak of the same color look bright and contrasting.

Images are increasingly of a narrative nature. So, the children not only draw beautiful yellow flowers with their palms, but also complement the composition with bees flying around them (“Bees pollinate flowers”). The palms are drawn with the crowns of southern palm trees, between which a crocodile is resting against the backdrop of a bright orange sun. The composition “Swans - Wonderful Birds” is made in delicate pastel shades, where the sea and sky are slightly different in tone, and the vibrations of sea waves are conveyed in thin strokes. The swans themselves swim against the backdrop of seagulls soaring in the sky. The huge yellow sun also looks impressive here.

Features of finger painting for children, basic techniques for different ages. Drawing ideas and templates.

• Kids are great explorers and experimenters. Everything is interesting to them, everything attracts their attention. It is often difficult for a child to fall asleep because something very interesting is happening nearby and there is no way to miss it.
• Every child and adult has a talent for drawing. It’s like the need to do work with your hands—both the process itself and the result are interesting. You feel like a wizard who can make any fantasy come true
• Only children have a stronger desire to create and dream. So let's help them in their implementation through regular finger and palm painting classes using paints

We draw blots with our fingers and palms

• This is the title of Robert Pautner's book, which inspires parents and children to create masterpieces in painting at home.
• Pediatricians and neonatologists will say that it is important for the baby to use his hands - take, grab, finger, pick, untwist, throw, collect
• This way it stimulates the center of the brain responsible for precise movements.
• By the way, it is located very close to the zone that coordinates speech. Therefore, by developing your baby’s fine motor skills, you stimulate his speech apparatus to pronounce more sounds and words.

At the same time, the benefits of drawing with fingers and palms are:

• massage of the inner surface of the arms
• stimulation of the work of internal organs and systems
• development of imagination, spatial orientation, taste for fine arts, cause and effect
• saying what the baby is drawing
• making up stories
• strengthening emotional contact with parents
• strengthening healthy attachment and trust between baby and adult

Blots can be different - from drops of colored paint on a blank sheet of paper to puddles from spilled jars.

• Blots can also be called careless prints of a baby’s fingers, palms, fists on whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper.
• They are also a source of inspiration for creating landscapes, a zoo, underwater world, birds or what surrounds a child every day
• Fresh berries, crushed with a small hand over a sheet of paper, also leave blots. They are bright, cheerful and unique. Use a felt-tip pen, pencil or brush to draw tails, faces, fruits, fur on the body, spots and tell your baby who or what happened

Drawing with palms

A fun and simple technique for children of any age. It can be performed in several ways:

• preliminary coloring of the palm with a brush or a finger of the other hand
• dipping into a plate of diluted paint

There are also many variations in the colorfulness of the future result. These could be:

• plain prints
• multi-colored striped prints
• each finger is painted a different color, and the middle is a different color

Fix your palm on a sheet of paper and move it slightly downwards or imitating waves, you will get birds, bushes, hedgehogs, algae.

Thumbs-down prints will delight your baby with a family of octopuses, horses, elephants or girls swimming in the water in bright dresses.

• Print the palms in the form of two figure eights together and draw the body with antennae. Get a funny butterfly
• A separate topic in the palm painting technique is trees. The imprint of one pen will become a crown, which you will additionally decorate with green, red, and blue fingerprints. These will be leaves and, for example, apples, plums
• Palms up designs can be turned into birds, cockscomb. Place a few impressions of your palm, turning it 180°, draw the body and you will get a cheerful peacock with an open tail

We teach children to paint with fingers

Drawing helps the child comprehend the world around him, express his perceptions, learn to think and speak. Therefore, art therapy works wonders with children and adults, especially in cases of:

• mental illnesses
• disruptions in the normal development and functioning of the body
• after suffering stress and trials
• after nightmares

The main thing is to set the tone for creativity, interest the child, and create a pleasant atmosphere.

For a child of any age, the participation of an adult in joint creativity and his words of support are important. This is how the baby develops:

• self-confidence
• self-esteem
• the desire to create without imitating other children

Save your little one's masterpieces to see his progress in drawing and to show off to relatives on occasion.

Finger painting for little ones

The baby is interested in what is happening around him from the first moments of life outside his mother. And one of the main roles in this is given to tactile sensations, touching with hands.

Research specialists child development It is recommended to start drawing with your child from the moment when he independently knows how to hold his body in a sitting position.

Parents should prepare:

• a large sheet of paper, whatman paper, or a piece of wallpaper. The latter is even better because it has a textured surface that is pleasant to tactile contact.
• special children's paints for finger painting or prepared in advance at home
• clothes for the baby for creativity, which you don’t mind getting dirty. If the house is warm, then simply undress the baby. Don't be afraid that it will get dirty. Easy to clean children's paints
• musical background. Works from the classics will do.
  Watch your baby, you will find that one melody causes a storm of delight in him, and the second - thoughtfulness and calmer drawings
• yours good mood and a sufficient amount of free time so that the process of joint creativity does not turn into a scheduled lesson

First, take the baby in your arms and place him in the middle of the sheet. Place 2-3 jars of paint. He will look at them, taste them, and make a few blots.

• You can encourage him to paint by dipping your finger in the paint and making a few dots/squiggles on the paper. This is how you demonstrate the moves and set an example.
• It is important for a young artist to see that after touching the pen with paint, imprints and lines remain on the white sheet. For now this is enough for his perception
• Frequency of classes for babies up to one year old: twice a week for 5-15 minutes

Finger painting 1 year

A baby during the first year of life may become interested in painting with different colors at the same time. He prefers the process of imprinting fingers, palms, drawing lines and squiggles.

Give him more opportunities for creativity:

• diversify your color palette
• come up with images of children's drawings and say them out loud
• Find a place to paint where you can also relax and let your child spill paint or make a handprint without damaging the interior
• use a large piece of plastic to cover the little artist's area

Be prepared for the fact that your baby will want to lick his finger with paint. Therefore, choose finger paints with a safe composition or prepare them yourself. To do this, mix 0.5 kg flour, 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp sunflower oil and water until the consistency of liquid sour cream.

• Or boil liquid semolina porridge. Next, add natural dyes to the base - juices of beets, carrots, parsley, dill, raspberries, black currants, sea buckthorn. Of course, you must be sure that the baby is not allergic to them
• Draw for a child simple lines, points, geometric shapes. He still paints from the shoulder, because his masterpieces do not contain clarity and aesthetic beauty
• In the first year, the baby should not be overloaded with work with more than 2-3 flowers at the same time. It is better to combine drawing classes with games to find toys or household items of a specific color. This way the baby will remember it and easily distinguish it from others.

Finger painting 2-3 years

After his second anniversary, the baby gets acquainted with geometric shapes and draws them.

In addition, he already speaks and is able to draw for a short time. The baby is already doing a good job with clear lines; he does not use his whole hand in the drawing process, but only his hand and fingers.

It is important to use both hands of the child so that his development occurs harmoniously.

Remind him, encourage him to use his other hand.

Make up stories before you start creative work with a child. For example:

• we draw snowfall, chicken, berries, apples - with this you encourage the baby to draw round shapes
• rain, a fence near the house, rails and sleepers - the baby learns to draw vertical and horizontal lines
• find a specific animal by coloring its silhouette

Other materials for practicing finger art will be:

• semolina, rice, buckwheat
• coffee beans
• Sprinkle a small amount of either of these on the lid of a shoe box.
• Engage your child in the game, be sure to praise him after the work is done

Finger painting 3-4 years old

• Children after their third birthday are interested in more complex plot drawings. Their hands are good at drawing geometric shapes and lines
• Children are happy to come up with stories behind their drawings and tell them to their parent or the adult they are working with.
• But they still need your help. You participate in the creative process as a co-author of the drawing, an active listener, an inspiration for the creation of new details on the sheet

Prepare in advance for a drawing lesson with your child:

• come up with a backstory
• take pencils, markers, brushes, crayons, a paraffin candle to add and diversify the future picture
• stock up on napkins, stencils, stamps
• choose your favorite character or doll and conduct an activity on his/her behalf

Drawing techniques that can be used with a child under 4 years old:

• painting a free area
• impressions of palms, stamps, stencils, fingers, fists
• blots, smearing droplets of paint with fingers, blowing them with tubes
• smudge, or pressing down drops of paint with paper or transparent film
• applying paint over a drawing with paraffin

Even if, instead of the script you drew up, a drawing lesson with your child ended in spilled paint and stains on clothes, turn everything into a game. This way, your baby will continue to want to continue drawing and your mood will remain good.

Drawing a mimosa with your fingers

The task will be interesting for children under 3 years old.

Prepare:

• blank drawing
• yellow paint
• glass of water
• a rag or napkins

You can draw a vase, twigs and mimosa leaves yourself or print a blank from the Internet.

• First, tell and show your child what you expect to see at the end of his work. Come up with a story about mimosa, when it blooms, what holiday it is given to your mother for
• Invite your child to draw flowers with his fingers, including those that have not yet bloomed. Help him play with shades of yellow paint for this purpose.
• At the end of the work, praise the child for his efforts. Save the drawing in an album or hang it on the wall in a frame.

Finger drawing animals

An exciting activity for a baby from one year old is drawing animals. True, the smaller the baby, the more imagination parents need to show.

So, a few words about animal drawing techniques:

• fingerprints in random order vertically, horizontally, at an angle. And the parent finishes drawing the paws, tails, faces with pencils or felt-tip pens
• Filling out the finished animal diagram with fingerprints or painting. Options drawn by you, printed on a printer, or offered in special books for drawing with children are suitable.
• stickers with subsequent coloring
• ready-made stamps in the shape of animals. They can be made, for example, from cardboard, linoleum

Below are some examples of drawings:

Finger drawing toys

• Toys surround the baby from the very beginning early days. That’s why the desire to draw them settles in the child’s head. It's so fun to depict a helicopter, a car or a bear with a doll walking in the forest or along a green meadow
• You will set the tone and help the baby during a creative flight
• Complete the small details and name the resulting toy. Write a short story about her and her adventures. So your baby will love to draw with you.

Here are some examples of finger painting of different toys:

Paintings for children

To ensure that painting brings benefit and joy to all participants in the process, use a few observations:

• cleaning is inevitable after each lesson, but it's worth it
• teach your child to wash brushes after the creative process
• allow him to mix all the colors at once and paint with this paste
• from a certain age, provide the child with free access to paints and other supplies
• remember, the process is important to the baby, not the result
• select an area in the house/apartment where the works of the young artist will be constantly displayed and change them periodically
• never throw away your child's creations in front of his eyes

Finger painting techniques for children 1-3 years old – what can you use to draw with?

A child can start drawing from the infant period - after he can sit well. The first drawing lessons can be taught by the mother herself - even if she believes that she has no artistic abilities.

Young children find it very easy to draw with their fingers and palms.

The first lessons are conducted like this:

1. To begin with, you can give your child a few flowers. 3-4 main ones are enough.
2. A small album sheet of paper is completely unsuitable for drawing with your palms. Here you will need a large sheet of Whatman paper or a piece of wallpaper.
3. The child should be dressed in clothes that you don’t mind, or, if the room is warm enough, stripped down to panties. The young artist will definitely get dirty and try to depict something on himself.

A child’s first steps in art will resemble paintings by abstract artists. There is no point in asking your child to complete certain tasks. He will not be able to draw accurately, because he does not yet control his own hands well enough.

At the age of one to two years, a child can draw with his fingers over semolina scattered on a tray . The material for drawing can be pre-tinted and scattered into different jars. Before class, the cereal is poured out in small slides on different edges of the tray, and the child is asked to mix it like sand with his palms. Then run your fingers along the resulting multi-colored surface, leaving a mark. Invite the child to repeat the action.

With a child over 2 years old, playing with visual aids can be a little more complicated. At the beginning of the lesson, the plane is covered with unpainted material. Then the mother shows the child how to draw lines with their fingers, and then with a stream of colored semolina. For this purpose colored cereals are poured into rolled paper bags , in which a small hole remains at the bottom.

You can paint with children using any available means:

1. Crumpled paper.
2. Toothbrushes.
3. Natural material (leaves, twigs, blades of grass).
4. Pieces of fur.
5. Cotton swabs.
6. Scraps of fabric.

One-year-old children are not able to draw perfectly even geometric shapes and complex objects. A child's drawing consists of a set of dashes - lines, scribbles and spots.

The more often a child draws, the more complex and interesting his work becomes.

Precautions when finger painting with children from one to three years old

You can only draw with kids who taste everything using paints that are safe for their health.

1. Russian-made gouache (Gamma).
2. Finger paints.
