Today we offer you a huge selection of pictures and templates for finger painting with children. 100 colorful templates that both you and your child will love!
What a wonderful invention this is - finger paints! You don’t have to be afraid to taste real finger paints, because they are made from natural and safe materials. These finger paints are easy to make yourself. Therefore, they can be used to draw from the moment the child learns to sit.
Finger painting is very useful for a child's development in the early stages of life. The most important advantage of finger paints is the ability to develop fine motor skills hands, and at the same time the child’s speech. Learning to paint with your fingers and palm is the first step towards painting with brushes. By touching such paints, the baby also develops the sensitivity of the palm and small fingers, and this in turn helps them begin to obey their owner faster. Such activities help develop not only motor skills, but also perseverance, attention, concentration, teach how to handle paints and paper, learn colors, and increase intelligence at an early stage of development. In addition, finger painting promotes the development of a child’s imagination and creative thinking.
Below you will find all 100 finger painting templates. Download, print and create with your kids!
Hi all! We continue to provide interesting ideas for educators, parents and teachers. And today we will talk about unconventional drawing techniques. These ideas are suitable for kindergarten and schools. Unconventional drawing does not mean something complicated. On the contrary, it is the unconventional technique that turns art classes into simple and fun fun. There is no need to draw complex elements, no need to masterly use a brush. Non-traditional techniques were CREATED because they SIMPLIFY the child’s work, EASIER the teacher’s task in methodologically and give the child a stunning creative experience with an excellent final result. You will see what beautiful paintings and drawings can be made using simple non-traditional drawing techniques. The child will love your activities - he himself will be drawn to art when he feels that he can create beauty with his own hands.
I have divided all the techniques of non-traditional drawing into SEPARATE GROUPS - and I will explain and show everything in order.
Unconventional drawing
PALM PRINTS
In kindergarten, during art classes, it is important to choose work that will be feasible for younger children. In the second younger group, children have poor brush control, it is difficult for them to force the brush to draw a line, an oval, a circle... Therefore, at this age, quick and beautiful drawings using the palm painting technique are interesting.
With your children's hands you can draw such a cute family of a hen and chicks.
Green paint will give you a print that can be made into a frog. The eyes can be drawn separately on white circles of paper (by the teacher themselves) and the children will simply glue the eyes onto the drawing with PVA glue.
Here is another example of an appliqué drawing using this non-traditional do-it-yourself painting technique. If we add the side wings and sharp tips of the ears to the palm print, we get the silhouette of an owl. The background for such a craft can be chosen from black cardboard, and a large circle of yellow paper (moon) can be glued onto it. And already against the background of the lunar disk, make an owl-palm print. And then when the print dries, we add a long branch on which this owl is sitting.
The palm acts as a template - first sketch, trace the palm on a piece of paper, and then try to draw an eye here or there. And look closely and see which character is looking at you.
Same for crafts using the non-traditional technique “Palm + paint” you need to prepare the background in advance. Or use colored paper to create a green lawn and a pond for ducks. Or draw in advance - tint the sheet with blue and green paint, dry and prepare for class (hold under heavy pressure from books).
As you can see in the photo below, you can add applied parts to the palm element of the design - appliqués made of paper and other materials. Below is an example of how ordinary gray paper from a box can become a prototype for a craft. To small child it was more convenient to draw circle-face of a lion- give him a jar lid template. Let the children trace the round lid along the center of the “cardboard mane” with a pencil and then carefully fill in the circle with paint - first tracing with a slow brush along the edge of the line, and then painting in the middle. We fill in the black details of the mustache, nose and ears with a marker (the teacher himself once the craft is dry).
In non-traditional palm painting, images of birds are often used. Here's a simple idea for drawing a sparrow in kindergarten. It's easy and quick to draw with your own hands for children in the middle group.
Here are some ideas for non-traditional hand drawing for middle and high school children. Craft MONKEY. Here you need to position your palm correctly - so that your fingers are turned towards the vine on which the monkey will hang. Then use a brush to draw a beautiful tail curl. And then lay out the head from the paper appliqué.
And here is a class on non-traditional drawing for the older group - here you need to first draw a tree (trunk, branches, leaves). The leaves are just marks from a brush (press the brush sideways. Raise it sharply upward so that the mark does not smear). While the children are busy drawing the leaves, the trunk will dry out well and the imprint of the koala bear will be perfectly placed on it, as if against a dry background. A beautiful craft for both kindergarten and school (grades 1-4).
And here is a beautiful bright craft-drawing of a GIRAFFE. Here we also see a base made from a palm print. But a long neck element with a head is added to the picture. Before applying spots and strokes of the mane, you need to wait until the red base has completely dried. The mane is placed with the imprint of a brush - we place the brush on the side and sharply lift it up, the impression is obtained as a tuft of mane hairs - we create a lot of imprints along the entire cervical ridge of the giraffe. .Round spots are easier to draw with a cotton swab (with a brush, the circles will not be even - not all children know how to draw a circle with a brush - this is a complex technique that they will master after they learn to write letters).
For the older group of kindergarten, a hand drawing in the form of a rainbow magical unicorn is suitable. Great craft for girls. The teacher will draw the horn.
And boys will love the drawing in the form of a dragon - also in this technique.
Also, young children really love group crafts. Where the entire kindergarten group participates in one common artistic work. For example on large sheet paper to draw the outlines of the peacock's future body - and around it to line up the imprints of the feathers of its magnificent tail. And then, when the tail is dry, you can glue the body itself along the center.
Drawing WITH FORKS.
non-traditional technology in kindergarten.
Disposable plastic forks are a tool that can create an interesting non-traditional drawing technique for you. All drawings where needed characteristic shaggy stroke, even a small child will be able to draw quickly and easily.
Here is a sample of such work for children in kindergarten. The teacher draws a tree stump on a piece of paper. It comes from the hemp the upward line is the AXIS of the future tree. Using a fork, scoop up the thick paint and apply prints from the side of the axle downwards. First we process the right side of the axis, then the left side of the central rod of the tree.
And already the third stage - we put another layer of CENTRAL STROKES on top of these strokes - this time more vertically down from the center, slightly diverging to the sides.
For convenience Pour the paint into bowls - jar lids work great.
AND to reduce paint consumption , gouache can be diluted with PVA glue - one to one, or in another proportion. Valuable advice– do not buy SCHOOL PVA in small tubes – go to hardware store and buy a liter (or half-liter) bucket of PVA glue there. It will be called universal PVA, or construction PVA - don’t let this confuse you. By chemical composition it is exactly the same as school PVA glue. But the price is 5 or 10 times cheaper. And in a bucket the glue does not lose its freshness, as in a tube. And a liter bucket is enough for a kindergarten group for 3-4 months of active classes.
In such an unconventional technique, you can draw any PINKY elements of the picture - for example, a HEDGEHOG or a CACTUS.
A fork will also help you draw shaggy characters. For example, a yellow fluffy CHICKEN, or a kitten, or a bear cub.
Since the paint already contains PVA glue, you can glue any paper parts (beak, eyes, ears, tails, etc.) onto the wet paint that has not yet dried.
Also, the fork stroke is similar to the plumage of birds. Therefore, you can make a drawing of any bird using this technique. This is how it happens, you can see in the photo of the craft below - COCK..
TRAINING METHODOLOGY – classical.
On two drawing samples.
What is the best way to TEACH DRAWING in kindergarten. Here is a technique that has been working great in kindergarten for several years. This technique allows you to get the CORRECT one the first time children's drawing. Let's look at it using the example of the same COCK from the picture above.
STAGE 1
We seat the children on a chair (in 2 rows) in front of one table. The teacher will do a demonstration on it. The piece of paper already has the outline of a rooster drawn in pencil. Three bowls contain different colors – yellow, red, blue. Each color has its own fork.
In front of the children, we begin our work - we draw feathers with a fork, freely mixing paints. We show you what is wrong and what is right. Let the children see from your example that it is better to draw lines ALONG the neck, and ALONG the lines of the tail, and not across.
STAGE 2
We painted feathers for one rooster in front of the children. Now we make him a friend - we take another sheet with a pencil rooster, and ask the children, “What should we do?” Children give you hints, you “mess up”, children correct you, tell you how to do it - you correct yourself and continue to make mistakes, then correct yourself. Now children are already acting as a “knowledgeable teacher”. After this game of drawing the second rooster. The children themselves sit down at the tables, where the same pencil rooster is waiting for them and, with knowledge of the matter, each perform their own craft.
As you can see, the demonstration method always works better on 2-X training drawings with the teacher’s hand.
- The first drawing, where the teacher does everything himself (teaching and explaining to the children)
- The teacher performs the second drawing according to the children’s prompts (“making mistakes” and correcting themselves).
- Each child already makes the third drawing himself, at his desk, with a smart, scholarly look.
Unconventional DRAWING
FEET PRINTS
The imprint of a child's foot, like a palm, can be turned into interesting drawing. A variety of characters can be hidden in a child's footprint.
These are the kinds of paintings that can be created using an unconventional drawing technique from an ordinary print of a child’s foot.
I’ll say right away that in the realities of a kindergarten (where there are 30 children in a group) This kind of drawing with feet is difficult to organize. In the case of drawings with palms, everything is simple: children wipe their palms with a wet cloth (remove the main layer of paint), and then go to the sink and wash their hands with soap. When drawing with feet, the child cannot go and wash his feet in the washbasin. A gentle man with soap and several basins to wash his feet. You can’t do this kind of work with a whole kindergarten group. But…
Such drawing can be done as a specially organized individual lesson. Children are divided into groups of 4 people. One child gives his feet for a print, the second draws eyes, ears, tails, the third child draws grass, the sun, the fourth a tree, a bird and so on... (depending on the theme and plot of the picture).
You can try this option for organizing the entire process. Before bedtime, when children are barefoot. Let the child step on a piece of foam rubber dipped in paint. And then straight onto a sheet of paper. And then immediately not thick wet soapy terry towel, then into a basin of water... and go to bed.
That is, you need to buy a sheet of foam rubber(it’s cheap in the construction department, sold cut into meters). Wet the foam rubber, dilute the paint slightly with water so that it is well absorbed into the foam rubber (like ink in printing), place a sheet of foam rubber on a plastic tray. Nearby, on a second plastic tray, there is a wet, soapy towel (for wiping off paint), then there is a basin of water, and a dry towel. There is a chair next to each tray and basin. Three chairs + three elements (coloring, soap, rinsing, wiping).
It turns out to be a conveyor– the child sits on the first chair (steps on the foam rubber with paint, hop – raises his leg), move the tray with the foam rubber, put a sheet of paper in its place (hop – stamped). The child moves his butt to the second chair, next to which there is a tray with a soapy towel (hop-up, soaped his leg, wiped off the paint). The child moves his butt to the third chair, next to which there is a basin of water with a rag floating in it (hop, wash off the soapy leg where you need it with a rag). And wipe with a dry towel.
Everyone is happy. Except for the sanitation station. It does not allow collective rinsing in one basin. The sanitation station requires for 20 children - 20 basins, and 20 soap towels... 20 dry towels)))
Unconventional drawing
HATCHING method
And here's another beautiful technique for kindergarten. Where the elements of the drawing are created using the shading method. This results in an interesting image texture. This method is convenient for drawing everything fluffy and shaggy.
The technique is well illustrated by the example of this HARE craft.
The hare drawing is divided into ROW-SECTORS, each of which is shaded. We get even rows of shading.
Here is a life-size template for this craft.
You can modify this craft and present it as an applique. Where each element is cut out separately (ears, forehead, cheeks, nose, neck). Then each element is shaded. And then everything is assembled into a single whole application.
The ZONE HATCHING method can be used to create any other furry characters. For example, a fluffy ostrich.
That is, the teacher gives the child a piece of paper on which the eyes and beak of an ostrich are drawn. The child’s task is to draw a fluffy cloud of strokes around the eyes with a pencil or wax crayons. And then, under the resulting fluffy ball, draw the neck in rows of strokes. The teacher can help the children by drawing the circle of the ball of the head and the lines of the future neck, and dividing the neck into sectors for striped multi-colored shading.
You can come up with any character and design it in the form of SECTORS with shading - a cat, a parrot, a dog, and so on.
DRAWING in kindergarten
WITH A COTTON SWIP
(non-traditional technique).
In kindergarten, we all drew the FLUFFY DANDELION craft using cotton swabs. Here it is (photo below). Let's think about what other pictures can be drawn using a cotton swab.
Although even from a simple DANDELION theme you can create unconventional drawing– BRIGHT JUICY, as in the photo below.
It is best for young children to draw only SOME ELEMENTS of the characters using the technique of POKING WITH COTTON SWIPS - only the tail of a fox, the tip of a needle for a hedgehog.
That is, a kindergarten teacher combines the work of drawing watnyo with a stick with appliqué. First, on a piece of paper, the child makes an applique of the hedgehog’s face (from brown paper) and the skin of the hedgehog’s back (from white paper). And then this back skin needs to be completely covered with multi-colored cotton swab prints. A fun children's drawing and sticking activity.
You can use drawing with a cotton swab using the ZONE FILLING technique. On a sheet of paper, draw the outline (silhouette) of a character in pencil - for example, a seahorse. The child must fill this entire area without leaving empty spaces or going beyond the pencil border. This is difficult, the child does not always see where he is thick and where he is empty. The teacher needs to repeat all the time: look for empty holes, fill the holes with different colored dots, and not dots of the same color.
The brain, attentiveness, fine motor skills, and a sense of color work here. After all, you need to feel how you distribute the color across the zone - evenly or everything is yellow at the top, and everything is blue at the bottom.
Such a task can be started in the younger group and then in the older group - and even an adult can learn something in such training on the sense of color and composition.
You can also use a cotton swab to make CHAIN PATTERNS. Like the rows of rings on the cacti below.
You can also draw entire pictures with dots. This non-traditional drawing technique can be called DOT GRAPHY.
The most interesting thing is to select dots of different shades and place them differently on the objects in the image.
You can start working on this type of drawing with small tasks. Pieces of landscape, elements of architecture.
There is an artist Angelo Franco who paints paintings using the POINT TO POINT technique. Here are large points, contain smaller ones inside.
With a cotton swab and paints you can draw beautiful MANDALA (photo below). Mandalas are circular patterns, symmetrical and multi-colored. The homeland of mandalas is the East. They still lay out patterns of colored pebbles, colored sand, or flower petals.
For children, we must provide ready-made graphic templates-mandalas, with a given pattern. And the child’s task is to REPEAT EXACTLY every POCK with a stick in each of the symmetrical zones of the mandala. That is... if in one zone you made 2 yellow pokes on a petal, then in the other zones you need to make 2 yellow pokes, on the same petal, in the same place on the petal.
You can find many round mandalas for painting on the Internet. Choose those that are simple and easy to do for children of a given age.
You can draw dotted mandalas on plastic plates. As in the photo below.
You need to start drawing mandalas when the child has already mastered basic counting to 5. And can count the number of PUMPKINS in each ray or in each row of the mandala (if it is a row-ray mandala, as in the photo below).
Agree, this beautiful and unconventional drawing technique perfectly develops a child’s mind, his math skills, constructive thinking, ability to plan the result, calculate the drawing.
Drawing WITH A WET EFFECT.
(non-traditional methods).
Here is another unconventional watercolor painting technique. Here we put watercolor diluted with water on a sheet of paper and blow on it from a tube. We get watery spots and colorful streams. For such drawing it is not necessary to use watercolor; the same can be done with gouache diluted with water.
Below we see how this technique can be used in art classes in kindergarten and school. We give the child a drawing of a face (boy or girl) and the child’s task is to blow out the HAIR for these characters.
You can use a board on which you attach a sheet of paper with a clothespin. We place a large drop of paint on the edge of the sheet and lift this edge of the board up so that the drop flows down like a slide.
If we temporarily seal part of the sheet with a piece of masking tape, then we will have an empty, unpainted space on the sheet. And then in this place you can place an applique of someone under an umbrella. Here's how it's done in the photo below.
In the younger group of kindergarten, children will really enjoy drawing Klaks monsters. Krakozyabra can be inflated from a tube in any direction. And then, after drying, glue applique elements onto them.
Now I want to introduce you to another technique - SOAP + PAINT. Pour into regular glasses liquid soap, or liquid for soap bubbles - add a little gouache to each glass. We get multi-colored soap paint. Dip a cocktail tube or a round “blower” into it and blow bubbles directly onto the paper. We get gentle bubble CLOUDS. They can be decorated into an interesting picture.
The bubbly clouds can be LUXURIOUS PEONIES (like the photo below). Blistered areas can be scalloped on sea waves like curly sheep skin, etc.
You can simply blow bubbles onto the surface of a sheet of paper with a straw, and then cut out a craft applique from this multi-colored sheet. Interesting idea for classes in kindergarten.
You can also paint with splashes - just SPLASH colorful paint onto the paper. A toothbrush is best for this.
Unconventional drawing
WAX-GRAPHY method.
Here is another technique that can be called CANDLE GRAPHY, or WAX GRAPHY.
Suitable for this technique white wax (or paraffin) candle. It can also be a children's wax crayon for drawing (but not just any kind). Choose chalk that has a greasy feel. Check in advance how the crayons work.
Now let's act. Draw a picture on a sheet of white paper with white chalk. Then we take watercolor (not gouache!!!) and begin to apply watery (not thick!!!) paint over the chalk lines. That is, we simply paint over our sheet of paper with colored watery paints and the invisible white wax pattern begins to appear. The paint does not cling to the wax and these places on the paper remain white.
You can draw colorful round mandalas in this style (with streaks different colors). Looks beautiful painted autumn leaves: leaf contours and veins are waxy, and the filling of the sheet is multi-colored (red-yellow-orange).
The night rain over the water looks beautiful. Slanting lines of rain, diverging circles on the water - it's all wax. And then we paint it with dark blue paint and get a beautiful picture of rain.
You can use wax to draw jellyfish and sea creatures. And then apply dark (blue-violet-black) tones and the sea depths will come to life.
Children are delighted when you offer them such an activity. The educator or teacher himself draws jellyfish, turtles, small tadpoles and amoebas on each sheet in advance. And then the child must find out who lives in the depths of the seas. He paints a sheet of paper and all these creatures appear under his brush.
Important rule. Before the lesson, teach the children to ROSE a sheet of paper with a wet brush, and NOT RUBBING THE SHEET WITH A BRUSH, LIKE A WASTE SPASH. Otherwise, the wax pattern may be damaged.
NIGHT pictures look beautiful using this technique. Using wax we draw one horizon line, then waves, a wax lunar path and the disk of the moon on the upper half of the sheet. Now we paint it in the colors of the night and get the sea, the moon and the white lunar path.
WINTER pictures also look good. The white lines of the wax drawing are like elements of white snow, the outlines of snowdrifts, the silhouette of a snowman, snow-covered huts - we draw all this with wax. Then the child applies blue or light blue paint and a winter landscape appears on the sheet.
But it's important– before giving these pictures to children, check for yourself whether the wax is of suitable quality. Are the lines of the design showing? What layer of paint should I apply (what is the degree of paint dilution with water)?
Unconventional drawing
Using the PRINT technique.
All children love this drawing technique. Because it gives quick and beautiful results for every child. Even the most inept artist can produce beautiful paintings. Children perceive the whole process as magic, exciting game with the magical effect of a picture appearing
In kindergarten, it is most convenient to organize the imprint technique. Let's see what materials are suitable for implementing this technique when drawing with children.
OPTION 1 – a lump of crumpled paper.
Crumpled paper gives a beautiful torn texture to the print. This is suitable for drawing the crowns of spring (yellow-green or pink) and autumn (orange-purple) trees. Paint is taken from jars or watercolors and dripped onto a bowl (jar lid). Dip a napkin into this drop, try the imprint on a rough sheet and, if you like, transfer it to paper.
OPTION 2 – corrugated cardboard.
Packaging gray cardboard is great for drawing a rose using the imprint technique. We cut the cardboard box into strips across the corrugation line. We twist the strips into a tube and secure with an elastic band or thread. We make a stamp for a green leaf from a toilet paper roll.
Also, this method of ROLL Drawing is suitable for depicting a SNAIL SPIRL. You can also make LAMB SKIN CURL.
OPTION 3 – fluffy pom-poms.
In craft stores (or on craft websites) you can buy a bag of these soft pompoms. If you attach a clothespin to each, you will get a convenient holder for work. Using the pomponography technique, you can create decor for painting flat parts of crafts. And also paint pictures of white airy dandelions in watercolors.
OPTION 4 – toilet paper roll.
There are a lot of options here, because the tube-sleeve can be given different shapes. You can cut the sleeve in half Lengthwise, and we will get a half-ring stamp - an ideal stencil for drawing fish scales or tiers of coniferous legs of a Christmas tree.
A round roll can be flattened on both sides and you will get a pointed oval - this is the shape of a flower petal, or bunny ears. Great idea for non-traditional drawing in kindergarten with younger children (bunny) or older children (flower).
The flower is more difficult than the bunny because you need to RADIALLY arrange the petals around the center of the flower.
You can also cut the EDGE OF THE ROLL into curly petals - and you will get ready-made petals for paintings. Such stamps are simply a godsend for quickly drawing bouquets and flower beds for younger children. And even for the smallest babies in the nursery.
OPTION 5 – bubble wrap.
Packaging film with bubbles also gives an interesting print pattern, which can be used in non-traditional drawing in kindergarten. For example, make an imprint of a honeycomb (as in the picture below).
Or make a drawing of a spring or autumn tree.
OPTION 6 – potato stamps.
You can cut stamps of any shape from potato halves. Cut the potatoes in half. Wipe the wet cut of the potato with a paper napkin. On the cut using a marker we draw the outlines of the future stamp. Cut with a knife along the drawn contours.
It is better to choose oblong, elongated potatoes for stamps. So that a child's hand can comfortably grasp the potato. In the photo below we present only two topics for such unconventional drawing - owls and tulips. But you can come up with your own options. If you add PVA glue to the paint, you can glue details (eyes, nose, handles) on top of the prints.
You can make an experimental double stamp. Cut the halves of the champagne out of two potatoes and fasten the two potatoes together by piercing them through with a toothpick and wrapping them with electrical tape or tape. Take a swing at cool idea and experiment with creating stamps for it.
Unconventional drawing
PLUFFY colors.
Here’s another cool material for unconventional drawing, which young children love so much. This is a VOLUME PAINT for creating puffy designs. This kind of paint can be made at home quickly and easily - mix PVA glue with gouache in a bowl and add dad’s shaving foam. We make several of these bowls (not necessarily large ones) based on the idea of what we will draw with the children. For a watermelon you only need two colors - so start with that. Watermelon seeds are a simple black gouache that we drip here and there.
A variety of ideas can be implemented in this drawing technique for children in kindergarten. The simplest one is a waffle cone with ice cream. The horn is cut out of rough packaging cardboard, and we draw a waffle grid on it with a marker. The child glues the horn onto a sheet of paper (below) and lays out round balls with a three-dimensional pattern on it. You can give the child round templates, which he will first trace with a pencil over the edge of the horn, and then into these round outlines will be laying foam paint.
You can also put several spoons of different paints on the horn and then use the opposite end of the brush (or wooden stick) mix the paint into multi-colored stains. You will get a beautiful mix ice cream. A great craft for children at school or kindergarten during art classes.
Methodology for working with thick paint in children's classes.
You can mix the paint on a separate tray (or on a piece of oilcloth). It’s better when each child makes his own color mixture - so we give each child his own oilcloth.
We put individual oilcloths for children on each table. Place bowls with 4 colors of paint in the center of the table. The child mixes these colors into a common puddle on his oilcloth - to the point of beautiful stains. Then a paper outline of the character is applied to the puddle (for example, seahorse). And then he lays it out to dry (the outlines of the skates must be signed with the child’s name in advance, and do not forget to remind the children to apply the unsigned side to the paint). Then the next day, when the foam paint has dried on the silhouette of the skate, you can continue working and make an applique of the skate in sea waters, add thorns and algae around it, stick on shells, and sprinkle sand on the glue.
You can try these interesting drawing techniques while working with children, both at home and in the garden. At school it's unconventional drawing can be taught in lessons visual arts, leaving the entire process for the child to create independently.

An unconventional drawing technique - drawing with a cotton swab.
"Rain"
Educational field: “Artistic and aesthetic development”, “ Cognitive development", "Physical development".
Goal: Create conditions for the development of creative abilities. To form the cognitive activity of children.
Task:
1. Continue to introduce children to non-traditional drawing techniques (drawing with a cotton swab). Cultivate an interest in drawing.
2. Teach children to apply rhythmic strokes using a cotton swab.
3. Learn to convey in a drawing the impression of life around you. Strengthen children's knowledge about characteristic features autumn weather.
4. Show techniques for obtaining points, using the point as a means of expression.
5. Learn to recognize and correctly name the color blue, develop a sense of color and rhythm, aesthetic perception and the desire to draw.
6. Cultivate neatness.
7. Give children a basic understanding of the purpose of an umbrella.
Material: Gouache ( blue, cotton swabs, a napkin, a sheet of paper on which an umbrella is depicted, an umbrella for playing, an easel.
Preliminary work: Conversation about seasonal natural phenomena, looking at plot pictures with rain, game “Rain and Sun”.
Progress of the lesson.
The teacher enters the group with an umbrella in his hand and reads a poem:
It's raining, it's raining, it's pouring down,
Get the little kids wet.
Let's quickly open the umbrella,
Let's protect ourselves from the rain.
The teacher addresses the children: - Guys! Did you like the poem? What is it about?
Children's answers: - About the rain.
Educator: - A gloomy, rainy autumn has arrived. It rains more and more often. The yard is damp and cold, there are puddles all around. What things will be useful to us so that we don’t get wet?
The teacher invites the children to select the necessary pictures located on the table and place them on the easel.
Children show: Jacket, rubber boots, umbrella.
Educator: - Guys, what will help us hide from the rain?
Children's answers: - Umbrella.
Educator: - That's right, an umbrella!
Educator: - There are umbrellas different sizes and different colors. They are made of a special material that does not allow water to pass through. To prevent water from collecting on it, but rolling off, the upper part of the umbrella has a streamlined, rounded shape, and we hold it with a handle.
The teacher addresses the children: “We already have an umbrella, so I suggest you play the game “Sun and Rain.”
Outdoor game "Sun and Rain".
Rules of the game. At a signal from an adult to the words “sun,” the children “walk” (accompanied by a tambourine, jump, run. As soon as the teacher says the words “rain,” they gather under an open umbrella next to the adult (the game is played 2-3 times).
Educator: - Guys, did you like the game?
After the game, the teacher invites the children to sit down.
Next, the teacher addresses the children: - Today I will teach you how to draw rain using a cotton swab. The teacher explains in detail the sequence of painting with gouache paints. Children watch the actions of the teacher.
Educator: - First, you should dip a cotton swab in blue paint and apply it to the paper, hold the sheet of paper with your helping hand and draw raindrops. The teacher accompanies the rhythm of drawing droplets with the rhythm of words: “drip-drip-drip, drip-drip-drip.” Then the teacher invites the children to draw rain “like mine.” Children do it on their own. The teacher individually helps those children who have difficulties. Encourages children to match the rhythm of the prints with the rhythm of the words: “drip-drip, drip-drip, drip-drip.” During the entire lesson, the teacher monitors the children’s posture and the correctness of drawing techniques. If necessary, the teacher takes the child’s hand in his own and draws several dots together.
Children look at their drawings, the teacher praises the children for their work and reads a poem to the children by G. Verd
There were clouds in the sky,
But we took an umbrella with us.
The drops hit the ground loudly,
We are not afraid one bit.
At the end of drawing, the teacher places the children’s work in the creativity corner.
Educator: - Guys, look what we drew? What color?
Children's answers.

Working with unusual materials and new techniques will give preschoolers middle group exclusively positive emotions, will reveal new possibilities for using familiar objects.
The importance of non-traditional drawing techniques for children's development in the garden
Unconventional drawing is interesting because children’s images always turn out different. As a rule, these are simple and accessible techniques, however, they play a very important role in the mental development of a preschooler. Their use presupposes an atmosphere of ease, allowing the child to take the initiative and express feelings and emotions in the drawing. The main thing in such activities is not the final product, but the formation of a self-confident personality.
The use of non-traditional techniques develops the research abilities of 4-5 year old children. After all, they provide the opportunity to experiment (for example, mix gouache with soap foam, apply paint to natural materials).
Non-traditional drawing improves the fine motor skills of middle group preschoolers, which in turn contributes to the development of correct speech.
Mental processes such as thinking, attention, visual memory, and imagination develop. Tactile sensitivity increases - the fingertips are in direct contact with the paint, feeling its thickness and viscosity.
Working with unusual materials makes children wonder, improves their social and communication skills: children ask more questions to the teacher, to each other, their vocabulary is enriched and activated.
A variety of methods and techniques (palms, poking, printing, thread printing, etc.). Materials used
In the middle group, it is already possible to successfully use a wide variety of non-traditional drawing techniques. Let's consider the main directions.
Children really enjoy printing with different objects. These can be foam forms: the teacher applies an in-depth drawing to them with a sharp object. The child dips such a “signet” in paint and then applies it to a sheet of paper - it turns out beautiful image. Similarly, you can print with vegetables and fruits: potatoes, apples, and carrots are especially suitable for this purpose. To do this, they are given the desired shape and a paint that matches the color is selected.
You can also print using foam rubber, a crumpled piece of paper, or a cotton pad. Interesting image obtained from imprints of leaves (this way you can draw trees or a butterfly). The side with veins is covered with paint and applied to the base with the painted side. The leaf petioles can be carefully painted on with a brush. An interesting gradient effect is obtained if several colors are mixed on the surface of a sheet.
You can draw a variety of objects using half a potato
A more difficult activity for middle group preschoolers is poking with a hard brush. The child hits the previously drawn outline with a brush with gouache paint. Moreover, the brush is not wetted with water. The result is an imitation of a fluffy or prickly surface, which is ideal for depicting animals, for example, a hedgehog, bear or hare. While working, the brush must be held vertically - then the pokes will be even.

Kids love to paint with their hands. The child's entire brush is dipped into gouache or painted with a brush, and then he leaves an imprint on the base. You can draw at the same time with two pens painted in different colors. The sun, grass, trees, and birds are often drawn this way. After work, wipe your palms with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off with water.

When painting with fingers, the child does not dip the entire palm into the gouache, but only the tip of the finger. Dots or specks are applied to the paper. You can paint a different color on each finger. A similar image is obtained when using cotton swabs.

Finger painting
Fancy patterns on a sheet of paper can be created using semolina (salt and sand can also be used for this purpose). This technique is good for creating landscapes - semolina gives the composition a beautiful texture. The background is sprinkled with grain while the paint is still wet. After a short period of time, the semolina is simply shaken off, and light spots remain in its place. Another option is to draw the object and paint it over with a glue stick (necessarily on a colored background), and then sprinkle it with semolina.

Threadography is a technique of drawing with ordinary thread. The kid folds a sheet of paper in half and dips the thread into the paint. An image of thread is laid out on one side of the base, while one end remains free. The drawing is covered on top with the second half of the paper and pressed. After this, the thread is pulled out by the tip. The result is an image that is completed with a brush to the desired image.
Nitcography
Children in the middle group love to draw with foam rubber. This is a convenient means for creating a background for a picture; in addition, foam rubber has great potential to embody a child’s fantasies. For example this perfect way depict snowdrifts in a winter landscape.

An unusual image is obtained using the blotography technique. Baby scoops gouache paint spoon and then pour it onto the base. You get stains yourself different shapes. The base is covered with another sheet - an image appears on it, which is completed to the desired image. You can also blow on the stain with a straw to make it appear larger.

An unusual drawing tool is a toothbrush. Thick, harsh bristles allow you to apply design details with varying densities. Due to this, a volume effect is created and different shades can be combined. For example, in this way you can depict a Christmas tree very realistically.

You can draw in a similar way with a plastic fork., dipping its tip into the paint. This way you can depict a prickly hedgehog or the sun.

For drawing in the middle group, the teacher can offer the children candles or wax crayons. Using these materials, the child creates an image on paper and then paints it over with watercolors. A drawing with a candle or crayons remains white, since the fatty base does not interact with the watercolor.

Unconventional drawing of individual objects and objects (examples of work with comments)
Some topics are especially conducive to unconventional drawing methods. For example, a tree can be depicted in an original way using a print of leaves, completing the missing parts (composition “ Autumn trees"). Another interesting way- imprint with cabbage leaf (“ winter tree"). Using your palm, you can depict a snow-covered crown (“Snow-Covered Tree”). The leaves and fruits of the tree are often depicted with fingers or cotton swabs (“Apple Tree”).

Such a favorite item for kids as balloons, can be depicted with foam rubber or using the rubber balls themselves (they are inflated and the tip is immersed in paint - a very realistic image is obtained).

Falling autumn leaves can similarly be depicted using real leaves. To do this, it is better to select small-sized specimens (“Multi-colored leaves”). Another way is to draw with cotton swabs, fingers, or poking. Leaves can also be printed with potatoes, after first drawing the corresponding silhouette on the vegetable.

Class notes
| Author's full name | Title of the abstract |
| Druzhina E. | "Winter" (drawing in non-traditional ways - imprint with a cabbage leaf, image with cotton swabs) Educational objectives: learn to draw a landscape using unconventional techniques (printing with a cabbage leaf, painting with cotton swabs). |
| Kolesnikova I. | (in the middle group unconventional method poke) Progress of the lesson: |
| Karpova I.N. | "Fish" (painting with palm and fingers) At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher organizes the game “Aquarium” (children perform actions according to the text):
Riddle about fish. Pictures of fish are considered. Conversation about where they live, what they eat, what helps them swim. |
| Zotkina O.K. | "Scarlet Sails" (drawing with sand and paints) The kindergarten is located in resort town Evpatoria, so sand painting in in this case very relevant.
Examination of a sample and explanation of image techniques. The sand needs to be sifted to remove shells and other impurities. With a simple pencil The contours of the ship, the sun and the sea are drawn, onto which glue is then generously applied. Sand is scooped up into a pinch and sprinkled onto the contours of the image. The excess is poured into a plate. Next, the sails are covered with scarlet paint so as not to touch the sand. The sun, sky and sea are also painted. |
Long-term planning for non-traditional drawing (middle group)
In the middle group, non-traditional drawing can occasionally be included in visual arts classes and can be carried out as part of a project. Most often, such techniques are studied with children as part of group work.
As an example, here is a fragment forward planning classes for the middle group “Rainbow” (teacher O.V. Chernysheva, MBDOU d/s “Yolochka, Abakan”).
| Month | Subject | Tasks |
| September | Autumn leaves Watercolors + wax crayons | Promote the most expressive reflection of impressions of autumn. Improve skills in drawing with wax crayons and watercolors |
| Teddy bear Poking with a hard semi-dry brush | Strengthen the ability to use the “poking with a hard semi-dry brush” technique | |
| Bullseye Monotype | Introduce children to the monotype technique. Introduce children to symmetry (using the example of an apple). Develop spatial thinking. | |
| By design | ||
| October | Borovichok Finger painting | Strengthen the ability to draw with fingers, the technique of dipping. Develop a sense of composition and color perception. |
| Jam Blotography | Introduce the technique of blotography. Develop a sense of composition. | |
| saucer Plasticineography | Improve skills in drawing with plasticine. | |
| Armchair Spray | Introduce the spraying technique. Develop a sense of composition. | |
| November | Vacuum cleaner Scratch | Introduce the grattage technique. Learn to trace simple shape templates. |
| Scooter Drawing with cotton swabs | Strengthen the ability to draw with cotton swabs. Develop a sense of composition | |
| By design Various | Strengthen the ability to choose your own technique and topic | |
| Steamboat Plasticinoplasty | Strengthen the ability to draw with plasticine. Develop a sense of composition. |
Let us note that regularly (about once a month) the circle conducts drawing according to the plan, during which children independently choose the technique and theme. This develops the creative imagination and independence of preschoolers.
All classes are built on a similar principle: they begin with a playful moment, include finger gymnastics, massage, independent activity of children, as a rule, takes place under musical accompaniment. At the end of the lesson, there is always a mini-exhibition of children's works.
Children always strive for new experiences and are interested in creative activity. The task of the teacher is to awaken in each child faith in his own individuality and the ability to create beauty. In this regard, non-traditional depiction techniques offer great opportunities: when drawing without a brush or pencil, the child feels more relaxed, feels colors better and begins to fantasize.
Children's creativity
Drawing with cotton swabs
When drawing, you can use a template by simply filling parts of the drawing with dots desired color. On the contrary, you can draw only colored outlines of objects using dots. It’s interesting to add dots to finished drawings, for example, this is how children paint snow or rain with gouache on top of a finished watercolor drawing. We draw with cotton swabs
Today we will talk about techniques for drawing with a cotton swab. Having framed your child’s drawing, you can decorate his room with a painting of your own making. On the one hand, drawing with cotton swabs is a natural intermediate stage between drawing with fingers and a brush, on the other hand, it is very unusual technique drawing that will definitely interest children.
For example, it is much easier for a child to draw with a stick than with a brush, and the stick does not need to be washed.
For drawing you will need: finger or regular gouache, paper, coloring books, cotton swabs (a lot) and a palette. A plastic palette is needed to prevent the child from dipping a stick into a jar of gouache and taking on too much paint. And on the palette it is enough to put a little gouache of different colors, dilute it with water to a semi-liquid state, for each color you need to put its own stick. And that’s it, you can start drawing.
Show your child how to draw with a stick: draw lines or put dots. Even a little one will understand this, because this is exactly how he drew with his finger.
