Crafts and drawings by May 9

For the great holiday of May 9, many prepare pleasant gifts to congratulate the veterans. Crafts and drawings are also needed for exhibitions, which will be held in school and preschool schools. We decided not to stay away and picked up a few simple but interesting versions of paintings and crafts that you can use for a sample.
Drawings for Victory Day
If we start from the theme of the holiday is not so difficult to think of, what direction should be the drawings for Victory Day:

Images of military equipment;
Weapons;
Scenes from the battlefield;
portraits of soldiers.

To complement such drawings can depicted fireworks, because they are always present at parades. As for the materials that can be drawn, the choice is unlimited. Pictures for Victory Day for children can be made:

Any paint. This material is suitable for drawings by May 9, gradually repelling any drawing techniques. They can be used by children of any age.
With the help of pencils. This is a good choice not only for senior school age, but also for the youngest artists.
Markers. Rarely used as the main coloring tool, but to circle the contours and give the picture brightness, they are ideal.
Pastel and waxy crayons. They are usually used in the younger garden groups, as these tools are convenient to hold in hand.

Drawings by May 9 phased for junior garden groups
At this age it is not desirable to offer to independently portray subjects or create postcards. It is better to use ready-made samples, which the child will be able to paint. The basis of the picture adult can apply independently with a simple pencil. Further task to paint a picture with children. What you can offer to kids:

Make a postcard with a holiday date or a star;
Paint with pencils painted St. George's ribbon;
with the help of fingers to depict on the sheet a salute.

Pictures for Victory Day for children in the middle group
At this age, too, you can continue to use coloring books. You can add markers to the pencils and ask the child to circle the contours. To make the children's drawing by May 9 look brighter, you can use for coloring wax crayons. They are suitable for bouquets or fireworks. At this age, you can try to make plots through the eyes of a child. Use interesting ideas.
Drawings with their own hands for older children
In older children, the choice of themes for drawing is much greater. Here you can outline, paint, create their own stories. Drawings with:

Military equipment;
Eternal Fire;
Festive inscriptions;
Flowers;
fireworks;
Soldiers;
St. George's ribbons.

For schoolchildren, the creation of an illustration with combat on the battlefield may be suitable for schoolchildren. Interesting can be the production of a thematic picture on a military theme, which can be obtained by cells.

The task can become more difficult to make not just drawings on May 9, and a portrait of a photo of his relative, who in those days was in the war.
Crafts for Victory Day
Works related to creativity are divided in different directions:

Complexity. Even making drawings with our own hands, we choose options that will match the skills of the child. This also applies to crafts. The level of crafts can be divided into those that the child will be able to do himself. And others that will need the help of parents or teachers.
Volume or flat. This indicator refers to the chosen manufacturing technique.
On the material to be used. The age of the child is also taken into account here. Those who are younger can be trusted with paper or plasticine. Older children can cope with fedoras, embroidery and natural materials.

Now you can consider separately what crafts on May 9 can be picked up according to age. Let's start with the lungs, which are designed for the younger preschool age.

Many parents believe that at this age it is appropriate to use exclusively flat crafts, but it is not so, children often cope with the voluminous options. Given the material that is mastered with children in this age category, we can highlight the following ideas for crafts:

Application with the tank, it is possible without passing small parts;
Red Star;
3D or flat pigeons, symbolizing peace;
flowers from napkins, more often make cloves.

If you combine these crafts with a common criterion, then only paper is used here, it is with this material it is easier for children to work at a younger age. If you stop at the volume of the product, the star will be suitable for it. Which can be made of clay and glued to a beautiful background.

At the age of 3-5 years, children are just beginning to learn how to combine materials. Therefore, it is not desirable to combine more than two types of material in one craft.

The next age is from the middle to the senior preschool. Here the works can be combined. Subjects and examples may be the same, but given the age characteristics of children, in the middle groups the finished crafts will not be so detailed. In addition, these children still need the help of a caregiver or parents. This applies to the preparatory process and the work itself. What can be done with children at this age:

A tank or a cardboard aircraft (you can even use sponges for utensils) for a tank;
3D Eternal Fire;
clay paintings.

We looked at one example of making a tank on a pedestal of matches. You can see a detailed master class on our website.

And it remains to consider the complex crafts for Victory Day, which can be performed in the senior groups of kindergarten and at exhibitions in school.

It should be considered only works of a good level. Young children will not cope with the tasks, and the inclusion of light crafts in the program can discourage interest in creativity. Here, to the previously used materials can be added:

Cereals;
The fabric
natural materials that can be collected in autumn.

In what ideas these materials can be used for:

making images of soldiers in the form of applique;
Building a battlefield made of natural materials;
making paintings in the technique of quilling;
creation of elementary origami in the form of military equipment;
Laying out medals from cereals or pasta;
creation of orders from felt.

Crafts, which are dedicated to the holiday is one of the methods that help to consolidate the knowledge about the history of our homeland. To make it easier for you to decide what exactly you want to make, we recommend first to assess whether the chosen work corresponds to the age of the baby and, most importantly, whether he shows interest in it.
