If a child takes a flamaster and flaunts them in the air, you can put his hand on a piece of paper and show that if you draw a felt-tip pen on paper, you get beautiful lines of "Kalyaki". Here, parents should take time to study with the baby, so that he learns not just scrawl, but mastered the image of some simple subject. The child with enthusiasm watching the way the mother draws, and then he himself repeats its movements, for him this is a new interesting game. Especially children are interested in drawing with fingers. For this, there are special colors (non-toxic gouache). Children lose their fingers and palms in paint, and then touch the paper. The task of the parents is to finish what the kid started before the recognizable picture.
Preparation for drawing with finger paints
The child needs to wear special clothes. Then you need to decide where the kid will draw, you can do it on the floor or at the children's table, the best place to cover the picture. It will take A3 size paper or a piece of old wallpaper, a paint bowl in which the baby will lower the handles, as well as wet wipes for the hands. It is important to remember that the child must start drawing when it is full so that he does not draw the painted hands in his mouth. If the baby is full, but the hand is still pulling to the mouth, you should wipe them off and stop drawing. Repeat the drawing lesson in a few days.
You need to learn how to put a handprint on the sheet
- Initially, it is necessary to show the child that before him a clean white leaf. To do this, take the handle of the baby by the wrist and lead it along the sheet, not forgetting to say that the sheet is clean, and then to slap the palm over the paper, making sure that the fingers are spread out.
- The child's handle must be lowered into the bowl with the paint, and then quickly transferred to a clean sheet, while pressing it a little to make the pattern better printed. Then release the palm and praise the resulting pattern, while you need to mention the color of the paint used.
- It is necessary to alternate palms, to douse them in a paint and to put to sheet.
- should be drawn not only with the hands of the baby, but with the palms of the parents. In this case, you need to ask the child where his hand is.
You need to learn how to fill a sheet with prints
- after the first sheet is filled, you need to take another, but do not forget that you need to do the preparatory work to smack the baby's palms on a clean sheet, and also show the already painted sheet.
- you need to move the bowl with paint. To begin with, it is better to use a paint of the same color. If the kid himself pulls his hands in a bowl, then it's good. And if the child does not show activity, you need to lower his pen in the paint, and then on the sheet. To the baby realized that it's not at all scary at first mom can leave an imprint of her palm, while you need to express delight from the resulting picture.
- as soon as the sheet is covered with several prints of large and small hands, you need to ask the baby questions about where the palm has been stamped, and where there is an empty space left. A crumb must learn to show either an imprint or an empty space.
- after the baby has indicated where there are empty spaces on the sheet, you need to start leaving fingerprints on them, while you have to say that there was an empty space, and now there was a palm.
It is necessary to fill the sheet with multi-colored prints
- it takes a few bowls with paints. Before you start drawing a child you need to introduce each color, while calling the color you want to compare it with something familiar to the child, for example, green as grass, yellow as the sun, blue as the sky, etc. It is necessary to offer the child to choose the favorite paint.
- after the child leaves on the sheet a few palm prints with the paint he likes, he needs to wipe the handle to offer to put the prints in other colors. To the child does not stretch all the time to one paint, the bowl with the one that has left the prints on the sheet, you need to remove.
- You should rejoice at every new print and praise the baby.
Drawing helps to develop the sensitivity and motor skills of the fingers.
As soon as the kid learns to leave the palm prints, you can start to draw more complex objects, for example, the palm is a middle, and the fingers are the petals of the flower, and the stem is painted by the mother with the help of a brush. Then you can draw a butterfly's body with a brush, and then use the palm prints to make her wings, with the right handle drawing the left wing, and the left handle holding the right wing. And by the same principle, you can create many different images and pictures.
New skills and abilities
The older the child becomes, the more skills and abilities he acquires. Drawing with your fingers goes to the background, now the kid learns the technique of drawing with pencils, markers, brush, crayons, etc. Meanwhile, sometimes you can return to the technique of drawing with your fingers, if the mother remembers this, then the baby will be happy to join the game. Next, note that drawing with your fingers is not only fun and provocative, but it is useful, because it allows the development of the small muscles of the hands and fingers. The child draws different phalanges of fingers, alternates fingers, disposes them on a sheet in different positions - all this helps to develop the delicate musculature of the child's hands. As the child grows and learns new and new skills, and he has already learned how to draw fingers, it is possible to teach him more complicated techniques in this technique. For example, when creating a figure, more than the number of fingers is involved, in addition, the toddler draws with fingertips, finger pads or extreme phalanxes of the fingers. It is necessary to show the child that when drawing you can use the middle finger phalanges, and also draw with your fingers, putting them sideways to the sheet, ie on the rib. The number of employees in the process of drawing fingers should be increased gradually, if at first the kid alternately uses a one-finger on each hand, then you can show how to draw two, three or all at once, you also need to show how to alternate several fingers with a pen. In addition, in the process of drawing you need to tell the baby how one or another finger is called.
When drawing, you should use several colors, you can use two to start. Fingers of the child need to be lowered into bowls with different colors and alternating leaving on the leaf a different color prints. In addition, you can try to combine the colors of the right colors, so next to the leftprint with one paint put the other ink so that they come in contact and the colors are mixed. It is necessary that both hands of the baby are actively involved in the process of drawing, as it contributes to the development of the brain, speech, attention, memory.
It is necessary to show the baby how to make a small circle, for this to the sheet you need to press the finger pad and direct it up or down. And ovals are obtained if you draw them with the upper or middle phalanges of your fingers.
The size of the ovals and circles can be different, this must be paid attention to the crumbs. It is necessary to demonstrate that the left fingerprints of the different fingers are different, the smallest trace leaves the little finger, and the biggest one - the thumb.
Helpful Tips
- When drawing a certain picture you need to show a real flower or a photo of it, talk with the child about its beauty, color, then suggest drawing a flower. In addition, kids like to draw different animals, for example, a hedgehog. Again, you need to show the hedgehog in the picture, ask the kid about what he knows about the hedgehog: prickly, where he has eyes, a nose, etc. Then necessarily invite the child to draw a hedgehog.
- When the baby puts a print of the palm on the sheet, it is necessary to finish the picture, if it is a flower, then we need a stalk and leaves, for animals - eyes, a nose, etc. And still need to draw an environment, for example, a hedgehog runs on the grass.
- If the child is not so actively involved in the process of drawing, then you need to stop this occupation.
- Even ready-made drawings can be gradually completed, for this, one should return to the finished drawing in a day or two and offer the child to make some supplement.
- There are situations when parents offer to draw one, but the child wants something completely different. In this case, you must fully agree with the baby and draw the picture that is closer to him.
