Incredible finger coloring

Finger coloring for kids are always in demand by parents. Why are they so attractive, and what can be the use of such entertainment?

“The mind of a child is at the tips of his fingers,” said the famous teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky. It has long been known that tactile sensations (sensations of touch) directly affect the development of the nervous system and brain. Finger painting and palms is a great way to develop not only fine motor skills, as some parents think, but also thinking and speech. Speech therapists successfully use finger gymnastics in their work precisely because the development of fine motor skills of the child's hand contributes to the development of speech at an early preschool age. The center responsible for movement is located in the brain next to the center of speech, and when the first one begins to work, it causes the second to develop as well.

Thus, finger painting develops and speech , and thinking , and fine motor skills , as well as tactile sensitivity, coordination of movements, color perception and perception of shape. It turns out that an activity that in itself brings joy and pleasure to a child has a huge developmental effect.

Some experts believe that you can start finger painting as early as six months. But there are no clear recommendations here - knowing your child, the characteristics of his temperament and development, you yourself can determine the moment when you can introduce him to paints.

How to choose finger coloring?

When you choose finger coloring for your baby, pay attention to a few points that must be met:

• The paper should be thick (more paint is applied with a finger than with a brush, and thin paper will begin to bend and get wet).

• Also, due to the thicker layer of paint, the finished picture will dry longer, so it is better if the coloring design allows you to remove sheets from it or lay it out in a horizontal position without effort so that the coloring does not slam shut.

• Drawing for kids should be simple and large, the images are recognizable and positive, the picture is not overloaded with details.

• The outline of the figure to be painted should be bold enough.

When creating finger coloring pages, Robins publishing house took into account all these requirements. We try to make working with our educational materials a joy for you and your baby!

So, you have decided that your little one is ready to paint. Where to begin?

Sit your baby on your lap, place a large piece of paper in front of you, and place the paint cans and water. The sheet must be chosen large (A3 and more) so that the child, sitting on your lap, does not reach its edges. Small children do not focus on the edge of the sheet and will gladly “paint” the table, and themselves, and everything around too. Paints are better to choose "primary", pure colors: red, yellow, blue, green. Dip your finger in a can of paint, make an imprint on a piece of paper, or draw a line with your finger. Be sure to comment on your actions to the child, name the chosen color.

For some children, for the first time, just watching a parent draw is enough. If the child has expressed a desire to draw too, take his hand in yours and dip the child's finger into the paint, and after that, together make some prints on paper. Guide the child's hand, show him the movement that can leave paint on a sheet of paper. As soon as the child gets comfortable, he will pick up paint and draw himself.

Be sure to show appreciation for your child's actions. The first lessons in duration may not exceed a few minutes, until the child gets tired and is not distracted by something else.

As a rule, parents want to immediately draw something beautiful or at least something that can be identified (for example, the sun or a flower).

  You can arrange a colorful adventure for your little one, and at the same time great fun with the help of drawing. The best option for a first acquaintance is finger paints for drawing by hand. Moreover, you can even make them yourself. Young children often...

All children, especially toddlers, love to draw with their fingers. You need to adjust with a brush, and point with your finger where you need it, quickly and accurately. It is EASIER AND EASIER for children to draw with their fingers. In younger groups of early age, it is recommended to draw only with fingers, so as not to frighten the child with a brush. In this article I want to show you ALL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF FINGER DRAWING FOR CHILDREN. We will analyze the technique of drawing with fingers for all age periods: from the smallest children, toddlers and babies, to the older group of kindergarten, as well as to school age and to a venerable artist. You will see bright and beautiful works in this non-standard technique of working with paints. We will draw a lot and in detail here with our fingers. With vivid examples of drawings, explanations of techniques and tips for convenient organization of the drawing process.

Finger painting.

Preparatory stage.

Little children love to draw. They do it, no matter what, liquid porridge that you feed them, poop that you managed to get in a diaper, or saliva on linoleum. There is no need to scold them. We must praise. Because the child wants to develop.

Without drawing, there is no development. Those kids are dumb at school who do not give your pencils, paints, plasticine and other visual aids in the preschool period. And if they did, then with the phrase "On - draw" and turned away to their adult chores.

Of course you don't want dilute the paint ... water ... then clean up. Better brush it off. But in a few years you will have to sweat with your child over school textbooks and copybooks. Choose either later “2 hours every evening with notebooks” or now “20 minutes” every day with drawing.

The quickest and easiest way to organize your finger painting is with a "sand mix" bowl. Usually it is SALT - small food. You can add dyes (dry food) and small spangles (sprinkles for manicure) to it. Show your child how to draw stripes… draw circles with their hand. Then the sun, snowflakes, emoticons and so on. You can buy a tray in the store and paint it with acrylic paints - RAINBOW STRIPS. So you will develop the color perception of the baby - photo below. The rainbow at the bottom of the tray (box) does not have to be depicted with paints - these can be strips of colored adhesive film from a construction store.

for babies from 1 year old

Stage 1 (chaotic prints)

You can start painting with finger paints, as soon as the child began to sit on the pope. This usually occurs in the 8th month of life. Your child is securely seated in the feeding chair - place a sheet of white paper on the table in front of him (to prevent the sheet from falling off the table, fasten it with double-sided tape). And put a flat jar of paint next to it (a nylon lid from a jar is suitable) - we also attach it to double-sided tape so that the child does not throw it off the table.

Show with your own hands how interesting it is to leave marks on paper. Then take his pen, select a finger and try to draw with the child's hand. This is a very useful job for children. After all, here is the SELECTION OF THE INDEX FINGER - separating it from the rest of the fingers of the hand.

Of course, at first the child will work with all fingers and palms. But you constantly show him that it is more convenient to draw with your index finger, take it and draw it with your finger every time - at least 1-2 minutes. Sooner or later, the child will realize the LEADING ROLE of the index finger - and this will be a breakthrough in the development of his artistic skills.

To make your child's first finger painting have ARTISTIC MEANING, you can glue a piece of paper with a TEMPLATE (a piece of masking tape). As in the photo below.

Finger paint gouache can be used for children, salt should be poured into it - so that the child does not have the desire to lick it off his fingers.

If you do not want to give paint from a chemical plant. Make your own finger paint. It can be thick sour cream, thick cottage cheese or semolina - where you add food coloring.

Come up with interesting themes for drawings for children - for example, make it snow over the city. Naturally, you draw the city yourself - and already the child draws dotted snow above it with his finger.

One day you will notice that when drawing a snowfall over a tree, the child will begin to lay out its snow along the branches, and pile up snowdrifts under the tree. Or lay the snow where you say. This means that the child CAN ALREADY purposefully GET into the given areas of the drawing, that is, he is already ready for the next stage of finger drawing.

Drawing with FINGERS

Stage 2 - ZONE filling.

The next stage in the development of finger painting is the FILLING of a certain ZONE with prints, beyond which you cannot go. This task is qualitatively performed by children about 2 years old. But not all. And not right away. It takes time for the child to realize what it means to "Stay inside the zone, do not go beyond the line"

Works in this non-traditional drawing technique for kids can have any theme. For example, - PINEAPPLE and SHEEP. The educator on a piece of paper only sets the contours, the boundaries for which you do not need to go. For a mouse, this is already a difficult task to 1) poke a finger inside a given area, 2) fill the entire area without leaving empty spaces. Here and logic and eye and coordination of hands and fingers - difficult work in the "eye-hand" system.

You can come up with ideas for similar works for the smallest children - a yellow round chicken, a fish on which you need to poke scales, draw red rowan berries for a bullfinch, dandelion fluff, and so on. Here are activities that are easy to organize in the drawing classes in kindergarten, and art activities in elementary school.

For the New Year, you can also create many interesting finger drawings. Any New Year's stencil can be zoned filled with finger prints.

Once the kids have gotten used to pointing their fingers at small areas, and learning how to fill them in randomly with splashes of paint, you can give them a BIGGER task. For example, draw large objects with your fingers. On a sheet of paper, with weak lines of a pencil, outline the contours of a bear or dog. Before the eyes of the child, first do all the work yourself - poke without climbing over the lines, then add eyes from above, poke the nose ... and carefully draw the mouth with a cotton swab.

Then on the second sheet, let the child make a friend to the dog - himself from beginning to end. You can tell him which empty places he has bypassed his attention. Such large-scale work can be carried out in the middle and senior groups of the kindergarten, and also these finger drawings will appeal to elementary school students.

Stage 3

LINEAR ARRANGEMENT.

The teacher draws a line on a sheet of paper. The child should string colored circle beads on this line. To make a rainbow caterpillar. Or beads for mom. Or a garland with multi-colored light bulbs. You will find many finger painting ideas for children in the world around us. Look around...

For young children, stringing prints in one line, or in a specific place, is a HARD CHALLENGE. In no case do not scold him for the fact that he is "such a gap" poking past. Praise him for an accurate hit and smile, joke kindly over an inaccurate one - say “Wow, well done, almost hit!” even if he's in the wrong place. Help him aim - perhaps the child does not even understand that he is waiting for the aiming location of fingerprints in a certain place.

Your speech is also not always clear to him. The phrase "put your finger on the line" may not be clear to him. Take his pen in your hand and with him first go through the whole drawing. And tomorrow invite him to do the same - and you will see that he will already do what he could do yesterday only with your help.

In pedagogy, there is such a concept as the ZPD - the zone of proximal development. WHAT a child can do today WITH A PROMPT OF ADULT - tomorrow he will be able to do ALMOST ITSELF, and after tomorrow INDEPENDENTLY. Create such ZBR-ZONES for him... let him first, with your help, master new movements in drawing.

Lines can have KNOTS - the location of the spot. In a garland, these are the bases of light bulbs. In plants, these are the bends of twigs and stems.

You draw the background yourself, or with the help of a child, "guiding" his hand. And then help the child aimingly lower the finger in the paint to the right place in the picture. Then he himself will tear his pen out of your hand and will try to get to the right place on his own.

In kindergarten (in the middle and senior groups), such a task can be divided into 2 lessons - in the first lesson, draw a background (sun and sky), in the second lesson - thin twigs and prints.

The ability of a child to lay even rows of finger patterns is an important stage in the development of finger iso-activity. Here we are working with several colors, each of which must find its linear place. A variety of craft ideas “Let's decorate an umbrella for a girl”, or “Paint an egg for Easter”, or “Give mom a knitted striped hat for winter”

Important!!! Do not scold the child FOR THE FIRST ATTEMPT - they are the first. Forget about your ambitions and expectations of the result. A carrot cannot grow in three days. What do you require from a child?

The child has to get used to it. In a month, his irregular rows of pumpkins will even out, gain clarity and linearity. Praise his crooked work. And they will get better every day, week, month.

First, the child lays down the STRAIGHT LINES in rows of prints. Then he begins to master the technique of laying ALONG THE CURVED LINE - at first it is a children's drawing-worm, then a multi-row rainbow (it is better not to do it at once, but to divide the work on the rainbow for several days).

A little later, you can give the child a task of increased complexity - to lay prints along the COOL CURL of the snail (photo below).

An even more difficult task for children is to stack fingerprints RADIALLY - that is, in a circle FROM THE CENTER. So are the spots on the tail of a turkey or peacock. Or you can decorate any round object starting from the center and moving in a circle to the edges of the circle.

That is, at this stage, there is already a purposeful DESIGN from fingerprints.

(separate fun)

Drawings for prints.

Fingerprints - can be used as a BASE for character creation. So three prints side by side resemble the BODY of an ANT. And all we need is a black marker pen to complete this look by adding paws and whiskers.

Finger painting for kids challenges you as an idea generator. Ants fingers... good. What else can be constructed from fingerprints? Think.

If the child is already preschool age, then he already knows how to use felt-tip pens. Show him how to turn fingerprints into animals and insects.

Place your finger with a flat pad on a sheet of paper - rolling it over to get a larger print. Then we dry the paint, take a felt-tip pen in our hands and think of what this oval silhouette can be turned into.

Drawing with FINGERS

advanced stage

IMPRINT - SMEAR.

And the most creative and most beautiful stage in this non-traditional finger painting technique, which can already be mastered in older groups of kindergarten and even in elementary school, is ARTISTIC finger painting of entire multi-color paintings.

The finger is used as a BRUSH because the prints already resemble a BRUSH STRAB.

This is already a technique of a large stroke - as in the paintings of many artists. Painting with large strokes with your fingers can create beautiful landscapes. Finger painting is not a primitive for toddlers. This is an opportunity to achieve a high artistic understanding. A sense of color, a sense of composition, a sense of transition from one shade to another.

Look at these works of art. They look like they were drawn with fingers. Perhaps your classes with children in this interesting technique will become the grain from which a new artist can grow in the future.

Keep teaching kids new interesting lines. Show them that they can make not only prints with their fingers, but also smeared lines. Here are the needles for a hedgehog made with fingers using the imprint-dab technique.

Have him draw the branches of the Christmas tree with his fingers - on either side of the centerline of the STEM. It is convenient to draw a FENCE with your fingers - simple straight lines. Finger painting creates SEA PICTURES well - wavy lines look like waves of all shades of blue and purple. And stick a dolphin out of paper on the waves.

Spiral lines create the silhouette of a BLOOMING ROSE. Why not make a postcard for mom on March 8 in this beautiful technique of children's finger painting.

Children are able to see beauty. But not all children believe that they can TRANSFER this beauty ON PAPER. Gradual advancement in learning to paint with fingers will give the child the opportunity to START transferring the beauty of this world to the canvas. Even the largest paintings, landscapes can be painted with children's fingers. You just need to start ... first with the first stage of "chaotic poking", then master the "zonal filling" .. and so on through all the stages from this article. Just move forward, wrapping FAITH in yourself as an artist.

Now you know where to start, how to continue and what perfection to strive for. Draw with fingers, hands, palms. Draw and be happy.

And keep learning with the Family Bunch website. To do this, we have articles on ideas for drawing with children in kindergarten and at school.

So, you have decided that your little one is ready to paint. Where to begin?

As a rule, parents want to immediately draw something beautiful or at least something that can be identified (for example, the sun or a flower).

We started painting at about 1 year old. At first, Antoshka did it with finger paints in the bathroom. A couple of months later, the husband made an easel, and the son got acquainted with the brush and gouache.

Basically, the child draws whatever he wants with the materials that he wants or that I give. Freehand drawing should be practiced as often as possible. But don't be limited to just that.

In this article, I will share drawing ideas with children 1-3 years old, talk about various drawing techniques with paints, pencils and other materials, even shaving foam.

You can also download coloring pages for the little ones and finger painting templates.

I won't talk about the benefits of drawing with children for a long time. I think you already know very well that it develops the child's imagination, creativity, improves coordination of hand movements and fine motor skills of fingers.

How to draw with a child 1-3 years old

In the article about applications, I talked about the book E.A. Januszko. This author also has a book "Drawing with young children"(Labyrinth). This is a great resource for parents and educators and comes with a demo CD.

The book presents methodology for conducting drawing classes with children 1 - 3 years old. I take a lot of ideas from her.

Before you start painting with your child, here are some simple tips from me:

• Show your child various drawing techniques (poking, strokes, stamping, etc.) gradually, starting with the simplest ones.
• I highly recommend buying or making your own easel for drawing. It is relevant as soon as the child learns to walk.
• Draw as often as possible.
• Use a variety of drawing materials.
• Try to immediately teach your child to hold the brush and pencil correctly. But if the child stubbornly refuses to do this, do not insist.
• Give your child maximum freedom. Let the child draw what he wants and how he wants. Never ask him to draw as you wish. Below I will talk about various drawing techniques with children, but if the child refuses to do something, do not insist.

Don't correct the child! Have him paint purple skies and red grass. So what if cows don't fly, and there are no fences on the rainbow. Your child's mind is still free of clichés. He is a real creator.

The more different art materials you use, the better.

You need to start with the easiest to learn (for example, finger paints), eventually reaching ordinary pencils.

We draw on:

• plain paper,
• old wallpaper,
• easel,
• magnetic board,
• plaster figures for coloring,
• wood, plywood,
• fabrics,
• tiles in the bathroom and in the bath itself.

For drawing with children 1 - 3 years old, you can use the following materials:

• Finger paint;
• gouache, watercolor (and, accordingly, brushes of different sizes);
• felt-tip pens (water-based and regular);
• crayons (wax and regular);
• wax pencils;
• dry pastel;
• pencils (it is desirable to choose soft ones);
• gel and ballpoint pens;
• foam rubber, sponges;
• cotton buds and cotton wool;
• stamps;
• semolina;
• shaving foam.

Also you will need water cup(preferably a non-spill) and palette for mixing colors.

As I said, we started painting with finger paints at about 1 year old. And they did it in the bathroom. Then they switched to paper.

Finger paint safe and do not require the use of water. You can replace them with gouache.

The simplest thing you can do is draw dots with your fingers:

• grains for birds, peas;
• apples, berries, cones, balls for the Christmas tree;
• bones for watermelon;
• raindrops, snow, animal tracks;
• spots giraffe, ladybug, leopard.

You can draw dots with your fingers using ready-made templates.

And of course, let the kid smear the paint all over the sheet with his fingers, palms.

Drawing techniques with paints and pencils

All drawing techniques involve the use of different materials depending on the age and capabilities of the child. We give paints, crayons, felt-tip pens to a very young child, and pencils, etc. to an older child.

I list all the techniques in ascending order of complexity.

freehand drawing

My son calls this kind of drawing “kalyaki-malaki”.

We introduce the child to drawing materials and give him the opportunity to experiment. At the same time, you do not need to give any tasks to draw something specific.

Practice free-drawing as often as possible at any age of the child. It is great for developing imagination.

Shading sheet

We give the child paints, crayons, etc. and suggest drawing:

• cow grass,
• fish water,
• sand, snow.

The kid needs to paint over the sheet, and not draw individual blades of grass, etc. A one-year-old will cope with such a task.

It's also great to use here paint rollers- simple or curly.

Painting an element

We draw the base (small images of animals and various objects) and ask the child to hide them by painting over:

• hide the mouse, bunny, fish, bug;
• hide the moon and stars, the sun, the car.

With very young children it is interesting to do this with a sponge, with children from 2 years old it is useful to paint over the elements with pencils.

Draw dots

First draw the basis for the picture - a bird that the child will feed, a bush on which berries will grow, etc.

Invite your child to draw: grains, berries, snow, raindrops, a bagel with poppy seeds, freckles, polka dots on a dress.

• Direct: rays of the sun, stems of flowers, tops of carrots, fence, cage, path, rails, paws for bugs, needles for cactus, comb teeth.
• Wavy: boat waves, worms, octopus legs, car tracks, hair.
• Broken lines: slides, a fence, icicles, a road with turns, hedgehog thorns.

Draw circles, ovals

Balls, apples, sweets, Christmas decorations, beads, balloons, mountain ash, berries, bubbles, eggs, cones.

Spiral drawing

Invite your child to draw: a snail's house, smoke, a flight of a bee, curls, sheep's rings, threads.

Finishing

Antoshka loves to play this game very much: I say that one boy drew different figures, but did not finish it, and I suggest that his son finish it. He does it with great pleasure. This is how we draw:

• geometric figures;
• I draw a road (dashed line) and Antoshka repairs it,
• any simple and understandable plot drawings.

Drawing simple plots

This is the most difficult stage in mastering the drawing. Here the child combines different drawing techniques on the instructions of an adult.

Alternately invite the child to draw various elements that will eventually turn into something concrete. But give your child as much freedom as possible.

The purpose of such a drawing is to show the child how the finished image appears in stages.

The child can hold the sponge with his hands or with a regular clothespin.

Simple sponge painting:

• waves, sand, snow landscape, grass, paths - smearing;
• snow, leaves - poking;
• hide bugs, fish, etc. - painting.

Draw on the sponge the shape you need - a triangle, a tree, or even letters. Cut out. Invite the child to dip the sponge in gouache and make an imprint on paper.

The child uses a brush to apply shaving foam to the template. In this way, you can cover a Christmas tree, a house with snow, make a snowdrift for a bear, etc.

Foam can also be applied to rubber toys. This is great fun for a toddler.

I talked about drawing with semolina in articles about, as well as about. There are two ways to draw a decoy:

1 way. You need to pour a little semolina on a surface with sides: a tray, a baking sheet, a lid from under a large shoe box. And then the child draws simple images with a finger or a brush - waves, paths, circles, etc., makes fingerprints or various objects.

2 way. Print out the coloring page for the little ones. Invite your child to apply glue to the image and sprinkle it with semolina. It will be more like coloring with semolina. But you can just give the child a brush with glue and let him randomly apply it to the sheet, and then pour semolina, shake it and see what pattern it turns out.

I paint semolina with gouache. Instead of semolina, you can use sand for children's creativity.

On the net, I have repeatedly come across such an opinion that children should not be given coloring books before school. Allegedly, they interfere with the creative development of the child. Some parents are simply afraid to give coloring pages to their child, while others have a real phobia.

I AM I don't see anything wrong with coloring. But rather only benefit if used in moderation. And give the main priority to free drawing, which I mentioned above.

For kids, offer simple coloring pages that use 1-2 colors. From 1.5 years old, you can try coloring pages that involve the use of several colors. But still, the elements in them should be large. And you need to paint them, of course, with paints.

But it is better to paint small images with pencils or felt-tip pens, because the child simply does not have enough patience for large ones.

At 1 - 2 years old, children are also interested in water coloring pages(Labyrinth, My-shop).

There are ready-made regular coloring pages for sale (Labyrinth, My-shop).

You can also DOWNLOAD COLORING for kids in one file.

stencils

Cut out figures in the sheet that could be painted over in one color. You can paint both the figure itself and the background.

There is a large selection of inexpensive stencils on sale (Labyrinth, My-shop).

The child may also be interested in tracing and painting over various objects, his own hand.

All children with great pleasure draw with stamps. You can make them yourself. For example, from sponges for washing dishes, vegetables. You can use improvised objects, toys as stamps.

And you can buy ready-made stamps or even whole sets for drawing (Labyrinth, My-shop).

I really hope that the article was useful to you. Draw with your child and then he will also love this activity. Which drawing method does your child like the most?
