Winter coloring for children 2 3 years old.

About the huge benefits of drawing for the development of me. Our parenting task is to instill interest in him and provide regular classes with various drawing tools. Coloring is one way to get your child involved in drawing. Today, publishing houses offer a huge variety of coloring pages. I have already bought many interesting copies. But, to be honest, I'm not in a hurry to give them to my two-year-old Yana to be torn to pieces. For the first coloring, I picked up monosyllabic drawings from the Internet, adapted several spreads of well-known Fiona Watt drawings and printed them on a printer. You can download them here:

Do-it-yourself printing of coloring pages is not only more economical, but also convenient. I often demonstrate to Yana various coloring techniques, while we color not just one picture together, but each of our copies. Also, we often paint the same pictures in different colors, this makes it possible to compare different color schemes. For example, in the first photo of this post, I advised the colors for the top picture, and Yana chose the colors for the bottom picture herself. Moreover, to the question “which option she likes best”, she did not hesitate to show the bottom picture with brown and gray-brown shades 😀 .

Top pictures watercolor, bottom left gouache, bottom right plasticine

We paint with everything (watercolor, gouache, crayons, felt-tip pens, plasticine), but the most attractive result is obtained using gouache.

To everyone who introduces children to creativity and has not yet bought in Fix Price a stack of creative albums from Clever, I recommend to visit urgently. I bring the ignorant up to date, kalyakalki and drawings by Fiona Watt of the Clever publishing house are very interesting and popular for preschoolers from 3 years old. They contain a variety of tasks for coloring and drawing elements. For a long time I have been eyeing the Big kalyakalka from this series (in it 96 pages, and its price is about 325 rubles). It turned out that in Fix Price, these albums are three times thinner - 32 pages, but the price is 7 times less - 43 rubles each. As a result, the purchase of three albums cost me 129 rubles, and the number of pages in total is the same as that of the Big Kalyakalka - 96 ! At the same time, the quality and format are absolutely the same. There is no point in buying small ones for owners of the Big kalyakalka, since their content partially overlaps.

UPDATE 01/22/2017: I’ll get better a little, Clever’s albums are excellent, but Yana didn’t have this series even at the age of three. Most assignments are designed for 4-5 years. We postponed it for another year, since Yana found them too complicated and she refused to draw with them.

Several photo albums from Fix Price:

The task is to draw chicken grains and color them. Yana performed at the age of 2.
The task is to draw different coats for dogs. Poodle - curls, dachshund - spots, diver - wavy hair. Yana painted at the age of 2. Considering the size of the pictures, the complexity of the tasks can be compared with the recipes for preparing the hand for writing. They are usually designed for 5-6 years.

In conclusion

This is my first post about the practice of kids in drawing, because after getting acquainted with the ideas of free drawing, I tried to minimally interfere with Yana's drawing and progress in drawing was very slow. Now I have optimized my approach, we have big shifts. In the near future I will show off our masterpieces and share tips.

Below is my list of coloring pages for the little ones with thick colored outlines. As I purchase, I will add their reviews to this post.

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 techniques drawing 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 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 children early age» (Labyrinth). It's beautiful Toolkit for parents and educators, it also comes with a CD with demo materials.

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 materials for the fine art 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;
giraffe spots, 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, air 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 techniques drawing on behalf 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 kind of 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 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).

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.

Available for sale big choice inexpensive stencils (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?

Help your child stay within the contour lines during object coloring . The pictures themselves should be large, as simplified as possible and without small details.

Water coloring for kids.

If your child still finds it difficult to color pictures on their own , we advise you to purchase special water coloring pages , which will help the baby quickly master the principle of filling with color the unpainted areas of the picture within the contour border. Prepare a brush, clean water and a page from the water coloring book for practice. An outline colorless object is printed on the page. As the child runs a wet brush over an unpainted contour drawing, the color will gradually appear and the picture will turn into color.
