Author: Tatyana Ivanovna Valisevich, kindergarten teacher Place of work: Kindergarten No. 206 of JSC Russian Railways Purpose: This information will be of interest to educators and parents. Program content Goal: Development of cognitive and research activities in preschool children through collecting. Objectives: To develop an emotional and cognitive attitude towards the world around us. Strengthen children's ability to observe and compare. Develop the creative potential of students. Replenish the subject-development environment with collecting materials. Description: This information allows you to understand how significant the collection is for a child. Nowadays they write and talk a lot about the subject-development environment of children, both at home and in kindergarten. We decided to expand this topic a little in our group by asking children and their parents to share their collections for a while. There are so many new and interesting things you can see when playing with her in a group. When a child collects a collection at home and only he plays with it, this is one way of learning about the subject-development environment. But if he brings his collection to the team, he will see and hear a lot of interesting things both about it and about his best qualities, since few adults would dare to entrust their “treasure,” not to mention children. It is impossible to express in words how passionate the children are about the game; even the owner of the collection himself discovers something new. My children are 3-4 years old and in order to occupy them with something interesting for 20 minutes, I still have to try. But with collections, this does not happen; children play for 20-30 minutes without leaving it. Naturally, I myself am busy with them. Kindersurprise collections are especially popular. Three children brought such collections, and everyone found something new and unusual. If it were possible to insert a video, then everyone could see and hear what kind of dialogue the children are having, how they act out, invent, name toys and much more interesting things. And so I want to share with you the photographs I took while playing with the collections.

Paper

One of the simplest and most accessible materials is paper, and there are so many things that can be done from it:

A postcard will be a wonderful option for a gift. The base is cardboard. It is better to use multi-colored cardboard, choosing the appropriate shade. Bright paper parts are glued onto it.
Painting - children will be very interested in drawing with felt-tip pens, pencils, and pens, creating masterpieces and developing their imagination.
Applique - the main essence of the technique is to create drawings by gluing different elements to a base. To do this, suitable paper parts are glued to the base paper.
Volumetric figures - created by gluing paper elements;
Garlands are ideal for decorating the interior of a room for various holidays. You can create themed options. They can be New Year's or dedicated to certain times of the year. For example, a garland of multi-colored leaves, of which there are so many in nature in autumn, will look very impressive. To do this, leaves made of multi-colored paper are attached to a thread.

Original paper crafts for preschoolers are an excellent option to keep children busy with an exciting activity that will benefit their development, but under the supervision of adults.

Plasticine

Even many adults will remember for a long time how interesting it is to sculpt from plasticine. Thanks to its softness and elasticity, this material allows you to bring to life the most interesting ideas, creating all kinds of characters, making crafts from plasticine for preschoolers.

Working with plasticine is not at all difficult, but you need to know some points:

To give the required elasticity, you should initially knead the material thoroughly with your hands;
When the plasticine is well pliable, you can safely begin to work. The required amount is torn off from large pieces, and then individual parts are made. They have to be connected to each other, creating the intended figures;
To keep your completed creation neat, it is worth protecting it additionally. Paper is suitable for this. By wrapping the figure in it, dust contamination is prevented;
Before starting work, you need to prepare a comfortable place, and upon completion, remove everything by washing your hands well with soap.

Using this material, unusual crafts are created for preschoolers for February 23, as well as for other holidays.
