Tools and materials

• scissors;
• glue;

For the production of inflorescences, one of the following materials can be selected:

• cotton that needs to be dyed with yellow gouache;
• corrugated paper;
• napkins;
• plasticine.

We take children at home

When the child performs the task together withparents, the application "Mimosa" can be created in any technique and in different combinations. Even children of younger preschool age will easily master any option together with an adult. It is better to do work not at once, but to divide it into several stages.

Options for kindergarten

If you are going to conduct a lesson for the springtheme or making gifts to moms by March 8, a good option - the application of "Mimosa". In kindergarten or when working with any organized group, it is important to plan the process correctly and make it easier for the toddlers to work independently.

Focusing on the age of the guys, prepare the leaves stencils, draw out the contours of the twigs, cut the paper or napkins into equal squares so that the rolling balls turn out to be the same size.

Explain the sequence of work, tell us aboutproperties of the selected materials, read the poem about spring, mother, the holiday of March 8 and the colors produced. It is good to bring a natural twig of mimosa. In short, the occupation should promote the all-round development of children.

Applique "Mimosa" from napkins

Napkins of yellow color are good for use inas an alternative to corrugated paper. To make the balls the same size, cut the napkins into squares. If the application of "Mimosa" from napkins is performed by the younger preschooler, who, most likely, does not succeed in ideally rolling up dense balls, you can not make square workpieces, but offer the baby to tear off pieces from a large napkin, having previously shown what they should be about in size.

If yellow wipes are not available,use white. First roll the balls out of them, and then lower them into the gouache. You can immediately combine the two operations, mixing the paint with the PVA glue and dipping the workpiece in the prepared composition, spread the composition on the sheet, although it is better after drying to allow the workpieces to dry out.

Mimosa from paper: application

If the work is done from corrugated paper, the sequence of operations is as follows:

1. Draw on the cardboard, where the stems and leaves will be located.
2. Cut the green paper into strips and twist the stems and twigs from them. Glue the workpieces to the appropriate places.
3. Cut many squares of yellow paper.
4. Fold the corners of the square to the center, and then roll the ball. So it will be obtained more smoothly and accurately. To make the seam appear less noticeable, this side should be glued to the substrate.
5. When applying glue to the balls, press them against the cardboard in the right places.
6. Make a few green papersrectangles for the leaves. Cut out the blanks on a stencil from the cardboard or from a folded rectangle of corrugated paper to get a symmetrical piece.
7. Cut the fringe along the edges of the leaves.
8. Glue the leaves to the appropriate places, spreading glue only the central parts of the blanks. This will create an additional volume.

From conventional colored paper technology executionThe application will be similar. The only difference is that the twigs should be made from thin strips or drawn. Circles of yellow paper are easy to obtain with the help of a conventional office punch.

The only minus of this method is mimosa frompaper (application of inflorescences) will turn out to be completely flat. If you want to make the relief, it is better to combine ordinary colored paper with other yellow material for the execution of inflorescences (corrugated, napkins, clay).

When the work is finished and dries, it is necessary to arrange it. The easiest way to do this is:

1. Take a sheet of cardboard of a larger format than the base on which the application was made, and paste the resulting panel onto it. It will acquire a neat, complete look.
2. If there is no larger sheet, you canTo issue work in a mat, glued from strips of paper (white, brown). Ideal - to put the hand-made in a real wooden frame. Of course, this method is suitable only for parents. In the garden is to use one of the simple ways. If a panel was made of a small size, it is easy to paste it onto a folded sheet as the front side of the postcard.

Flowers from cotton wool

If you do not have napkins and corrugated paper,or the baby does not get to roll up smooth, accurate balls so that they do not turn around, use a material that is easier to process. Applique "Mimosa" made of cotton wool is made faster:

1. Give the child a piece of cotton wool.
2. Show the baby how to pinch off small particles.
3. Explain how to roll balls.
4. Dip the resulting blanks into a diluted yellow gouache.
5. Put on a flat surface for drying.
6. Do all the other elements and actions in any of the above ways.

As you can see, the application of "Mimosa" is performed fromdifferent materials. Choose the right option or let the child work in all ways. It's a great idea to spend time at home with pleasure, and a suitable topic for classes in the kindergarten.
