Children's physiological development follows certain laws. From the perspective of children's development, preschool development focuses on the enlightenment of various abilities, including hands-on ability, thinking ability, imagination and so on. Engaging in manual labor is one of the activities that include these abilities. The handiwork made by children is different in age, so let's look at it according to age.
3-4-year-old children are in a stage full of curiosity, and they will choose to try many new things. Handwork is just in line with children's psychology at this stage, which can satisfy their curiosity and give them room to do it themselves.
However, children's handmade works in this period rarely have the ability of self-creation, and most of them are in the stage of imitation. In the process of making handicrafts, adults are usually accompanied to give oral guidance and help when necessary. Children will imitate a certain physical shape they like according to the arrangement order of teachers or parents, and experience the joy of growth in the process of making.
For example, when you play house with friends, you will use plasticine to make furniture; When giving Barbie a birthday, she will also pinch out the shape of the birthday cake herself. In the process of these explorations, children can learn while playing, and subtly exercise the brain's ability to control limbs, making the brain more flexible and the limbs more coordinated.
4~5-year-old children begin to form a certain perception of things in their minds, and they can cut paper into corresponding shapes with scissors according to the objects, with regular shapes and neat edges. At this time, they can use cardboard, plasticine and so on. To describe things in your mind, such as some flowers, grass, small animals, houses and so on. Sometimes it will be further modified.
Children aged 6-7 have further developed their brains and more coordinated limbs. They can draw or make their own imaginary things, and their manual skills are getting higher and higher. At this time, they can start to make some challenging things, such as airplanes, parachutes, kites, boating and so on.
When playing with clay tools, they will also be more inclined to sketch some details to make people or things more vivid and story-telling. Parents had better not interfere too much at this stage. They can help Hatch when he is in trouble and let him continue to complete other tasks independently.
Recommend three handicrafts, which children like very much.
I went to my sister's house to watch her teach children to assemble Lego toys, which not only required hands-on ability, but also tested children's observation and thinking ability. Usually three or four-year-old children are not very persistent in solving difficulties and need the correct guidance of their parents.
Mother should patiently explain the cause and effect to the child, let him not worry too much, and tell him the correct way to play with this toy.
Next, I will introduce several common hand-made methods. Parents can refer to it and choose one or more items suitable for their children to accompany him.
First, a moving shark.
Prepare some A4 papers, some colored cardboard, preferably various colors, scissors glue, colored pens, toothpicks, etc. Before production.
First, look for the material of the little shark online and print it on paper. Cut off the shark's head and tail with scissors, let the children draw with crayons, and let them play freely without drawing according to the actual color. It's best to have your own ideas.
Fold the colored paper in half and open it, and stick it on the head and tail on both sides of the shark's head circumference to connect the head and tail. Finally, toothpicks are fixed on the shark's head and tail, thus making a movable shark that can stretch freely.
Second, the cardboard cloud.
Before making, prepare a blue A4 cardboard and a white A4 paper, scissors, glue, rubber bands, and finally a black marker and a blue highlighter.
First, draw parallel horizontal lines on blue A4 paper with blue highlighter, then fold the paper horizontally and cut it open with scissors. When finished, put the two pieces of paper side by side, fix the middle part of the two pieces of paper with a rubber band, and finally unfold the two ends and stick them together with glue.
At this time, use scissors to cut out the shape of a cloud on white paper, draw a lovely smiling face expression with black marks, and stick the cloud and the blue cardboard together, and you're done.
You can make many clouds with different expressions or colors and hang them together as window decorations.
Third, card medals.
Before making, prepare colored A4 cardboard and white A4 paper, as well as scissors, glue, black marker and colored pen.
First, fold the colored cardboard vertically, and cut the cardboard horizontally with scissors. Fold the two rows in half twice, cut them into four rows, fold two pieces of cardboard, tie them tightly with rubber bands, and stick the joints firmly with glue.
Cut out two circles, one large and one small, on cardboard and white paper of another color and paste them together as medals. In addition, cut two long strips from a piece of cardboard of the same color. Finally, draw a favorite pattern on the circular part, cut out the shape of the ribbon tail from two rectangles, and paste it with the circular part, and the medal will be completed.
There are also many handmade products suitable for children and parents to make at home, which need the participation of family members. Not only the hand-made products or hand-painted products that have been made in detail and step by step on the Internet, parents and children can also make their favorite and imaginative hand-painted products at home. Give full play to children's naive and unconstrained imagination and creativity, open an unknown and broad field of thinking in their minds, and make the relationship between family members happier and more harmonious because of hand-making.
