The beauty of the native land in children's drawings.
“Beauty is the joy of our life. A man became a man because he saw the depth of the azure sky, the twinkling of stars, the pink spill of the evening dawn, the transparent haze of the steppe expanses, the crimson sunset before a spring day. Stop in amazement at beauty - and nobility will bloom in your heart.”

Crafts on the theme “Take care of nature,” drawings on the theme “Ecology of Nature” will help children instill a love for their native land and learn how to use waste materials.
The content of the article:
Children need to be taught a caring attitude towards nature from childhood. After all, if parents allow themselves to litter in the forest, then their children will behave the same way. If adults show children how to protect nature and love it, then the children will grow up to be worthy people. Spend more time in nature with your children, tell them about plants and trees. Collect natural materials: cones, bunches of rowan, plant seeds, so that you can then do joint work at home.
Crafts “Take care of nature”
Children love to color. Therefore, print a poster on this topic in black and white and give the children freedom of creativity. Let them use crayons, pencils, markers or paints to add bright colors to the canvas. Tell them what color the elements of the poster should be, but if the children want to show their vision of the plot, do not interfere with them, let them show their individuality. Then teach them how to make crafts with the theme "Take care of nature." Prepare everything you need in advance.
Craft “Waterfall”
If you go on a picnic with your children, after the feast tell them that plant remains can be buried in the forest, they will rot. But this trick won’t work with plastic bottles. Therefore, you need to take them with you to throw them in the trash container or to do a wonderful job for which you need:
- plastic bottle;
- cardboard;
- scissors;
- water;
- cup;
- beads;
- colored paper;
- markers;
- gouache.
The blue cardboard sheet will turn into water. You need to glue beads at the bottom, and cut out something like pebbles from multi-colored paper.
All that remains is to glue the “fish” onto the blue cardboard and draw air bubbles in the water.
Crafts made from natural materials
To create it you will need:
- Walnut;
- cone;
- dry grass;
- tree branches;
- sawed from a dry tree trunk, which will become a stand;
- glue.
Use a bright marker along the edge of the stand to write “Take care of the forest!”, and if the child is already familiar with literacy, let him do it himself.
Drawings on the theme “Ecology of Nature”
Such creativity will also instill in children a love for their native land. If they were asked to bring to childcare facility drawings on the topic of ecology of nature, we can recommend the following.
On this poster, the author shows how specifically each person can help preserve normal ecology and nature. To do this you need:
- pick up trash after yourself;
- After relaxing by the fire, be sure to put it out;
- don’t waste water;
- save energy;
- take care of your home.
Reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere will also help preserve the environment. It is not for nothing that in the summer motorists are encouraged to switch to bicycles in order to get to work using this transport.
Parents can go on bike rides with their children, thus also engaging in outdoor sports.
The following drawing on the theme of natural ecology is symbolic. Under a bright rainbow, the child depicted a representative of animals, birds, insects, plants and calls on everyone to preserve our nature.
The following work is intended for schoolchildren. To make it, you will need:
- a sheet of paper or whatman paper;
- a simple pencil;
- eraser;
- paints.
The picture is divided into 2 thematic parts. Drawn on the left beautiful nature, a grazing horse, birds soaring in the blue sky, and on the right - industrial enterprises, which produce harmful emissions into the atmosphere and, as a result, dead trees, bushes, and grass.
The following poster on the topic “Take care of nature” shows children that they need to protect the forest from fire.
If your child is asked to draw a picture on such a topic, you can give him the following idea. There is a forest, a river, a rainbow, and animals.
If this drawing on the topic “Ecology of Nature” is intended for middle school students, the next one will be able to be reproduced by children from primary school and senior groups kindergarten. Show them how to draw tree canopies with conical fora and lush canopy. Children will also be able to draw lilies of the valley and strawberries.
Another work was done using a very interesting technique. To make the same, take:
- a needle;
- colored threads;
- a sheet of white cardboard;
- simple pencil.
We start from the bottom of the canvas. Help your child thread the yellow thread through the eye of the needle and tie a knot at both ends of the thread. The rays of the sun can be made long or consisting of several stitches. Threads different colors children will embroider a rainbow and finish the work using the same technique.
The following paintings are based on comparison and contrast.
On the right is a corner of the globe. Explain to the children that it will remain like this if we all protect nature. On the left you can see what it will be like if you litter, don’t take care to put out the fire behind you, or burn it in the wrong place. Pollution of water bodies will also lead to such sad consequences. A child will understand all this if he draws such a canvas.
Another work develops this idea and shows that people are able to resist air pollution; they need to reduce the amount of exhaust gases and pick up trash after themselves.
The following drawing is also intended to instill in children the right thoughts regarding the environment.
To let the kids know that you can make a lot of interesting things out of waste material, offer them the following ideas.
Crafts from garbage
Children love Kinder surprises, so they almost always have packaging for the gifts inside. Teach children by showing them what can be made from such waste material.
The result will be wonderful funny chickens. To make them, the kids will need:
- plastic containers for kinder eggs;
- glue;
- beads or pins;
- yellow and red cardboard;
- scissors.
Can be pierced with two pins top part Kinder egg packaging. Then the remaining beads on the outside will become the chicken's eyes.
To make the shells, have parents cut the top of each package half in a zigzag pattern. This will be more difficult for children. Together with them, make a nest from straw or dry grass, or from thin twigs, fastening the elements with threads or glue.
You can make such a picturesque bouquet out of garbage. To create it, take:
- Kinder egg packaging of different colors;
- scissors;
- sisal or green plastic bottles;
- cocktail straws;
- nail.
- Also cut the egg halves in a zigzag pattern. On the reverse side, use a heated nail to make a hole.
- Insert a straw into each, first push the edge further to cut it into 2 parts. Then tie them in a knot, then this “stem” will be firmly fixed in the flower.
- Arrange them all in the same way. Connect the flowers, cover with sisal, tie with ribbon.
- If there is no sisal, then you need to cut off the top and bottom of the green plastic bottle and cut the remaining part into a thin strip in a spiral.
- Kinder egg packaging;
- toothpicks;
- scissors;
- plasticine;
- paints;
- thin colored rope;
- flat lid from a cardboard box;
- green colored paper;
- glue.
- Let your child glue the lids of the box inside colored paper, this is a carpet of green grass. Toothpicks need to be pre-painted, when dry, stick along the edge of the box, like a picket fence. These pickets are tied with rope in several rows to form a fence.
- Pierce the bottom parts of the plastic blanks with an awl and have the child insert toothpick legs here. He will coat them with black plasticine, make small circles from it, and attach them to the cow’s body. Then you need to sculpt the horns, and the muzzle from yellow plasticine.
- In the same way, let the child create other animals: a pig, a cat, a dog, a sheep. Then you’ll get a whole village farm, and you already know how to make kinder chickens.
The following crafts, take care of nature, are no less interesting in execution. After all, after the feast, the holiday there remain plastic cups, disposable plates. Make a clown out of them together with your children.
For it you will need:
- strong wire;
- disposable plates and glasses;
- plastic tray;
- latex gloves;
- padding polyester;
- buttons;
- multi-colored threads;
- cardboard;
- plastic bottle;
- glue.
- Make a frame of a man out of wire. Thread cups onto each wire that became arms and legs, piercing their bottom.
- Glue 2 plates together, first placing plastic hair between them. Glue threads in the shape of a mouth, cheeks, eyelashes onto your face. And the pupils can be made from a plastic bottle.
- Two trays will become the back and front of the clown. Decorate his clothes with buttons, sparkles, cardboard, which will turn into a jacket collar.
- Stuff the gloves with padding polyester and attach them in place. This is how the theme of natural ecology came into play. After all, this garbage will not harm her if you make crafts like this for the dacha or for a competition.
To make the first toy, you need to take an empty plastic bottle of a similar shape, for example, from a “toilet duck”, rinse it well, and remove the label. Draw the windows and doors of this minibus with a felt-tip pen, cut them out with a knife and scissors.
To prevent your child from getting hurt on the sharp edges of the plastic, sand them first with coarse, then fine sandpaper.
The covers can be glued with super glue, making wheels or using wire axles. Use an awl to make two punctures on one side and the same number on the other side of the bottom of the bottle. Insert one and a second wire into them, onto the ends of which you need to glue the lid, which will become the axes.
And to make a helicopter, you will need:
- 2 bottles of drinking yogurt;
- glue;
- 2 plastic bottle caps;
- cocktail straws;
- 2 nails;
- scissors.
Make runners from two straws, attach them to strips of plastic cut from the second bottle.
Using a hot thin nail with a wide head, make a hole in the lid and its attachment point, as well as at the ends of the straws. Match these parts to create the top propeller. In the tail part, make it out of straws.
If you need to quickly make a craft about the ecology of nature, use plastic bottles. Tell your child that those who throw them away in the forest harm nature. After all, such containers will rot only after 200 years! It’s better to make a craft out of it for a competition. It will take very little time and materials to make the next one, here they are:
- milk bottle;
- plasticine;
- 2 buttons;
- black and white cardboard;
- glue;
- pliers;
- wire in a white winding.
Have your child smear black play dough onto a bottle cap to create a nose for this rat. He will cut out ears from white cardboard, and a mustache for her from black cardboard. Using plasticine, attach the eyes to the muzzle.
To make fun snowmen, show children how to use a marker to draw on Actimel bottles to create the characters' facial features. You can teach your child to knit. Cast on 2 knitting needles and show him how to knit a rectangular fabric using garter stitch. Then you need to sew it on the wrong side. Afterwards, thread the needle and pass the thread into the upper part of the cap, tighten it.
How to make a fan from forks was described in the corresponding article. Next to him, such an animal made from a plastic bottle will look wonderful.
You need to cut off the necks from the other two and glue them directly with the partings to the main container. The legs are done. The ears are cut out from the remains of the auxiliary bottle.
It's easy to create an adorable horse using two colorful bottles and a thread mop attachment.
To make a cat you will need:
- 3 identical bottles;
- scissors;
- paints;
- brush;
- glue;
- piece of fur.
Flowers from a plastic bottle will also help turn waste into a decorative item or into an entry for a competition. Petals are cut out from this container. In order for them to bend like that, you need to hold the workpieces over the flame for a short time.
Crafts made from textiles and other materials

To make such a panel, take:
- scraps of fabric;
- pieces of suede;
- buttons;
- lacing;
- old zipper;
- unnecessary things;
- cardboard.
- A sheet of cardboard will become the basis of the canvas. If you want it to be voluminous, you can put a sheet of padding polyester between it and the fabric. If not, then immediately glue the rectangle of fabric onto the cardboard, or the child will do it.
- Let him cut out the trunk and branches of a tree from brown suede, and its crown from green fabric. If it is an apple tree, let him cut out fruits from scraps of the appropriate color. Sew loops to them, let him put them on the buttons sewn to the crown.
- To help your child develop hand motor skills, sew a zipper onto the trunk and let him unfasten and fasten it. Sew lacing here, which will also help development fine motor skills baby.
Like apples, cut out butterflies from thick fabric; they can also be attached to wood using loops and buttons.
A doll made from threads will be openwork and airy. To create it you will need:
- 2 balloons;
- textile;
- PVA glue;
- needle;
- brush;
- flaps;
- buttons;
- a little wool or roving.
Let the child glue these 2 balls together and glue roving or wool on top of one, which will become the hair of the tumbler. Tie a scarf for her. The button will become her nose, a piece of red fabric will become her mouth, and blue and white will become her eyes. All that remains is to tie the scarf, the work is completed.
If mom has some cord left over from needlework, let her show her daughter or son how to sew on this thin braid by folding it to make a flower. You can first edge the fabric petals with this cord, and then stitch them onto the canvas.
Crafts to take care of nature can also be made from metal waste. See how unnecessary computer parts and an SD disk are turned into watches.
You can make it out of trash the whole city using wallpaper scraps, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles.
Even shavings from colored pencils can be put to good use by turning them into a chic princess dress. The girl will cut it out of colored paper.
The following work shows how various waste materials can be used:
- candy wrappers;
- juice straws;
- plastic bottles for milk, sauces;
- buttons;
- corrugated paper;
- braid.
The stamens of the flower will be cut straws; they need to be glued around the button. The next flower can be created from candy wrapper. It is folded like an accordion, bent, and a button is glued or sewn into the center. The next flower is made from one piece of plastic.
All these plants are attached to the base and the panel is decorated with braid.
When creating such crafts with your children, tell them about the ecology of nature so that they know how such beautiful things can be made from garbage. The videos will help you get acquainted with other exciting ideas.

Nature is very beautiful. Each of its elements is individual with a unique design. So today we’ll try to translate it onto a piece of paper. The finished painting can be placed in a frame and admired at any time.
Necessary materials:
- colored pencils in yellow, green, blue, brown tones;
- black marker;
- regular pencil;
- paper;
- eraser.
Drawing steps:
1. Draw the horizon as a line. In the distance we will have , which we will denote on the sheet in the form of triangles. Next, erase the lines between them and leave only the outline.
2. Near the mountains in the distance you will see bushes and. We will also draw and label them in our drawing. There will be a long and fairly wide path leading from the mountains, which will lead to a green clearing with trees. IN right side leaf let's draw a small tree.
3. Now let's move to the first plan and draw a large tree on the left side. It will have a wide and massive crown with a large number of branches. The amount of foliage will be small, but despite this, the tree looks larger than the mountains in the distance. Let's not forget about the small foliage in the clearing.
4. We outline each line with a marker and add small details. Erase unnecessary lines with an eraser.
5. Next, move on to the trunks of two trees and color them with a brown pencil.
6. Now let’s color the foliage on the trees with a light green pencil.
7. To darken, use an emerald or dark green pencil.
8. Use the same pencils to color the green meadow and grass in our drawing.
9. Mountains are visible in the distance. We'll give them Blue colour, and at the foot there will be green shades. When mixing two colors we get a very beautiful and original look.
10. We will decorate the path with a yellow pencil, and draw a brown pencil near the contour line.
11. Finally, draw the sky with a light blue pencil.
12. This concludes our step by step drawing. On it you can see mountains, and a green lawn with a path, and trees, and clean blue sky. Any of you, wanting to take a break from the bustle of the city, would like to be in such a wonderful place! Appreciate the world around us!

Drawing using this technique is a simple and interesting activity. The peculiarity of this technique is that we paint with gouache without wetting the brush in water and hold the brush vertically, without making strokes, but with a “poke”. Children are delighted with this method of drawing. The work is done quickly and the result is always bright and colorful! This drawing technique can be used in working with children of senior preschool age.
For work you will need the following materials: a sheet of thick white paper, a bristle brush No. 5, a glass of water, napkins, gouache.
Target: develop creativity through learning non-traditional types of drawing.
Tasks:
Introduce children to a new way of drawing;
Develop an interest in creativity;
Develop children's creative abilities;
Develop accuracy when working with gouache.
Progress:
Educator: Guys, look what's on your tables.
The children answer.
Educator: Right. And if all this is on the table, then we will…….
Children: Paint!
Educator: Well done! We will draw with you, but not just draw, but get acquainted with a new drawing technique. And the topic of our lesson: “Ural birches.” Let's go to the window and look at the trees. Here they are - birches. Tell me, how does birch differ from other trees?
Children: She has a white trunk.
Educator: Right! Take your seats. We will learn to draw a birch tree. But not just the birch tree, but the whole landscape.
The first thing we need to do is open the gouache. Now let's remember the main ones rules for drawing in this technique:
1. Before starting to paint with a new color, the brush must be dry! There is no need to soak it in water.
2. After washing the brush, you need to blot it with a napkin.
3. The drawing should clean fields, that is, you don’t need to fill the entire sheet with color, you should leave a white frame.
4. The brush should be held vertically; we paint with a “poke”, not with strokes.
5. There is no need to wait for one color to dry; all colors are applied one by one without waiting for drying.
Well, let's begin!
Educator:“The wizard waved his brush -
And the sheet of paper came to life:
There was a distant roar of thunder,
And a damp wind blew.
And now there's a thunderstorm
The garden is blooming!” (Vladimir Danko)
Guys, who is this poem about?
The children answer.
Educator: That's right, it's about the artist. Now you will become real artists!
Educator:
1. Take a brush, dip it in green gouache and fill the lower right corner with color. First, limit the area to be filled with color. Hold the brush vertically, poking it into the sheet.
Continue working parallel to the first line.
The end result is a beautiful lawn.
3. Dip a brush into yellow gouache and paint a few dandelions in the clearing. To do this, simply touch the brush, holding it vertically, exactly in the place where the dandelion will “bloom.”
4. Now we will draw a river. You will need blue and white gouache.
First, we fill the river bed with white gouache. Everyone will have their own river, some are so wide that you can’t swim across them, and some are like a trickle.
Educator:
I flow from afar
I wash the shores,
Wide and deep
I call myself
Children add: river. (A. Malakhova)
So it turned out to be a river.
5. But for some reason there are no waves on the river, it doesn’t flow. To do this, take blue gouache with a “poke” and apply the waves, now, so that they become completely “stormy”, draw the waves with strokes. Now the river is ready.
6. Now we are drawing the second bank of the river. We dip the brush into green gouache and, using the same “poke” technique, draw a green clearing on the other side of the river.
