Recently, I saw beautiful and unusual children's drawings on one website of a children's development center. Most of all, I liked those that were made by the hands of children.
It turns out that with a child's hand you can draw a fish, a bird, a funny little man, and much, much more - just let your child's imagination run wild.
It's very exciting and simple - every kid can outline his palm, and every child has enough imagination to draw something to this palm. If the child is still too small or did not dare to fantasize something - you show him what a funny drawing can turn out on his palm. And even if for the first time just “kalyaki-malaki” come out - nevertheless, this is not a waste of time spent with a child.
If you and your baby are a little bored on a rainy spring evening, I suggest decorating this evening with interesting creative activities. In order for creativity to be also colorful, you and your child will need at least: paints and pencils or felt-tip pens, a couple of album leaves; and also if you find several sheets of colored paper or cardboard and hygienic sticks, it will be very interesting. Oh, I forgot about the brushes and the glass of water.
How to draw with palms
Well, all this is collected on one table and start drawing. Of course, you have your own imagination and you can come up with something of your own. But I consider it not superfluous to tell you how we performed the following drawings:
Aquarium with fish
Here, a sheet of colored (blue) cardboard is taken as the basis. Then we paint over the child’s palm with paint, the colors of the future fish and put an imprint on a sheet of cardboard. We make as many of these prints as we have fish. Next, wash your hands. After that, hygienic sticks are already in use, we put dots or lines with them - which should look like algae.
With the help of a brush or those same sticks, we finish the eyes of the fish and everything else we want, so that they become more like the inhabitants of the aquarium. With a brush, draw the sand at the bottom of the picture.
Fairy birds
By doing this drawing with your child, you will not have to get dirty so much, and the kid will be able to show his imagination even more.
On a sheet of white or colored paper, you need to draw a sketch of tree branches in order to know where to plant our fabulous birds. We outline the baby's palms (on their own or with the help of their mother) - these will be our birds. You can do the drawing with anything: pencils, felt-tip pens, or draw our bird inside with paints - if you want. After you have a sketch of a tree with bird palms on the sheet, use your imagination. The thumb is the head and neck of the bird, and all the rest are the wings and tail. No more rules. Your child can draw a variety of decorations for the birds, feathers of unimaginable beauty, etc.
For volume and showiness, we glued plasticine flowers and leaves to the branches of a tree. We borrowed this kind of “decor” in kindergarten. Recently, there, children made tree branches on cardboard with seals blooming on them - very beautiful.
Cheerful little man
Here the technique, materials and rules are the same as when drawing birds. Only, after we outline the palm, we finish drawing the eyes, nose and mouth - in the center of the palm, and from the fingers we make a hairstyle.
In the technique of "outlining the palms" it is very easy and fun to draw - since you can fully show children's imagination. For example, from the same palms you can draw flowers, trees, people, animals and much more.
Application of pasta and cereals
You have probably seen this type of application more than once. I found this application very entertaining and interesting, so I decided to make it with my daughter.
For the application you will need: semolina, millet, spaghetti (any pasta that can be glued to a piece of cardboard), PVA glue, colored paper, plain paper or cardboard (the thicker the sheet, the better the glued objects will hold, and it will not get wet through from glue).
Mom or child sketching a chicken, a tree, grains and the sun. Then the kid paints over the necessary places in the picture with glue, and falls asleep with cereals, sticks pasta. Let this picture dry. Then we take paints and decorate the picture, cereals and pasta for greater expressiveness.
I think you have already guessed that using this method, you can also create whatever your heart desires: all the animals, fish, people, birds and various landscapes.
These drawings were made by a three-year-old child (with the help of his mother :)). To be honest, one drawing for the evening is enough - children get tired quickly, although they are very interested in smearing glue or paint. If your child is still too small, try to simplify all the proposed art: one fish, one bird, only a chicken, etc.
I wish you a fun and interesting time with your baby. By the way, do not be shy, call your dad to yourself - it will also be useful and interesting for him.
Draw with palms: video tutorial
Anastasia Sazhina
Drawing with palms, fingers and legs contributes to the development of fine motor skills of fingers, curiosity and interest of children in work. The image of objects helps children develop imagination, memory, helps the child to better understand the world around him. Besides It is very fun and interesting (to get dirty in the paint).
In the process of classes, kids learn to name and distinguish colors. The dots drawn with fingers can be raindrops, or they can be grains for chickens. A handprint can be a bullfinch, or it can turn into a wish-granting goldfish. All this contributes to the formation of artistic and figurative thinking.
Special finger paints are safe for children. They contain only natural ingredients.
When a child is still small, it is difficult for him to draw with brushes, felt-tip pens, and a pencil. Therefore, for babies, arms, legs, fingers are best suited. So, even at an early age, an adult, without much effort, will help the child develop a love for creativity, show the child new, non-traditional drawing techniques.
Drawing with fingers, palms, legs is a permitted game with dirt, which allows you to save the individual from aggression. Moreover, no one scolds for this game, but on the contrary, everyone admires it.
Drawing with finger paints is a preparatory stage for the transition to painting with a brush, it teaches you to feel the boundaries of the sheet, and has a positive effect on the development of figurative thinking.
I want to present to your attention the work of the children of the first junior group:

We all know that creativity plays a huge role in a child's life. But how to present this to a little man so that his development is.
I am fond of non-traditional drawing techniques and try to involve my preschoolers in this. Interestingly, you can draw not only with.
Our children love to draw with plasticine. This type of activity somehow came to our liking. Or maybe because kids love doing things.
(PART 1)
Many children love to draw. But what if the baby is still small and cannot draw? There are many tricks with which you can create original works and crafts for children, even without any artistic skills. Both you and your child will get more than just pleasure from such activities. In these games, he will get acquainted with color, the properties of paints, he will develop artistic taste and spatial imagination, fantasy and diligence. And he will be imbued with respect for parents who know how to do such things! Here are paint games that will attract interest in drawing and help in the development of the baby.
1. Stamps with fingers
In his wonderful book "Ed Emberley's Complete Funprint Drawing Book", the author describes the technique of drawing with fingerprints. You will need different colors of paint, water, a sponge, paper and a felt-tip pen.
Applying several colors to the sponge with a shift, you can get a gradient of colors.
The lion is a more complicated figure, but not so much that your little one cannot cope with it.
With this technique you can draw funny faces
Animals
Flowers
Transport
With fingerprints, a little artist can color in coloring pictures. Only coloring pages should be large, without small details. 
(PART 2)
2. Handprints and footprints
You can draw not only with your fingers, but also with your palms and even legs. These interesting works can be made from the prints of arms and legs, if you apply a little imagination.
3. More prints
Anything can be printed. For example, you can paint the wheels of a toy car with paint and drive it around on paper. An interesting print in the form of a rose is obtained from the remains of a head of Peking (Chinese) cabbage.
Using ordinary woolen threads, you can create very interesting surprise patterns. This technique is called threading. To do this, take a sheet of paper or cardboard, fold it in half. Dip the end of the woolen thread 10 cm into the gouache, then clamp the dyed thread between the folded paper and move it there. We remove the thread, unfold the paper and marvel together with the baby at the unusual combination of lines and strokes. You can simultaneously dye several threads in different colors and get a multi-color gibberish. Consider the resulting image together with the baby, think about what it looks like, give it a name. Maybe it's fireworks or a colored meadow, or just a good mood?
You can draw with soap bubbles! To do this, add paint or food coloring to any soap-foaming solution, swell more foam and lean paper on top of it.
From such paper you can make greeting cards to relatives and friends. 
Now on sale there are play sets of stamps for children's creativity. Thanks to them, the kid can decorate a greeting card, supplement his drawing with the necessary elements. Playing with stamps, you can introduce your baby to such concepts as a logical sequence of characters (pattern) and symmetry. Contribute to the development of creative thinking sets with stamps in the form of geometric shapes, from which you can make various pictures. For example, a set of stamps "Tangram".
A handprint drawing is always a very surprising and interesting sight. Both children and adults really like to watch what the outlines of children's hands that are familiar to us sometimes turn into.
The very process of creating such a thing causes great delight in children.
When we draw with palms and hands, many sensitive endings that abound in this area are included in the work, so the child not only enjoys the lesson, but also activates many areas of the cerebral cortex, which contributes to its development.
A pink palm can turn into a strawberry or a piece of juicy;
and from several two-tone contours of the handles you will get a charming centipede.
A yellow and black print can be used when creating an appliqué.
From pale green palms you can get funny sea turtles - just complement them with a suitable background.
The pink footprint of a child's hand will become a very appetizing ice cream;
and prints of different colors can be used to create beautiful mermaid hair and tail.

A pink print with two bright hearts will become a butterfly;
and two brown footprints from the palm - a cat.

A white palm can easily transform into a family.
Each handprint drawing is not easy. It is also a memory of what the hands of a child who discovered for himself were like at that time.
Good afternoon, today I am unloading the full a selection article with ideas for hand drawings. Hand painting can be a fun way to create images quickly and easily. Children really like this technique, because it does not require serious artistic skills from them. We will draw in non-traditional technique- using the print of children's hands on paper. Ordinary gouache paints and the palms of your kids will help to create paintings depicting a variety of characters. Even the smallest children will be able to draw a fish, a bunny, a chicken with their palms. These ideas are suitable for choosing crafts for a lesson in kindergarten - for drawing or appliqué.
Pictures-drawings with palms
For the little ones.
Birds and birds.
A package of hand drawings with birds will begin our article, with a variety of drawings, from chickens to peacocks with chic tails. A beautiful unconventional print technique can turn a child's hand into any bird. This idea is suitable for an abstract with a lesson on non-traditional drawing techniques
To make a chicken out of the palm, you need to draw a comb, a beard and a beak along the edge of the thumb print. Add the outlines of the wing - and the picture from the palm is ready.
And for the rooster, with gouache and a brush (or colored markers), we will draw multi-colored feather arcs, we get a bright rooster tail. Drawing a tail is a fun activity that can be done with your fingers (children draw with their hands for fun).
And you can pre-paint the palm in one neutral color, and each finger in a new bright gouache color. And then it turns out that the arched multi-colored fingers are the tail of the rooster in the figure.
Hand painting - gives a lot of creative options for children's drawings. You just need to look at the print and understand what your bright palms look like.
In the same way, you can draw a duck. Here you need to close your fingers together with palm prints, because duck tails are neat, gathered in a pile. And at the end of the thumb draw an oval shape, this will be the head. We finish drawing the eye, duck beak and paws.
In the same way, a drawing of a peacock bird can be made from a palm print. Each finger needs to be supplemented with elements already completed on the dried paint. The outlines of the feather hairs and the peacock eye at the end of the finger (as done in the figure below). A black marker or felt-tip pen draws perfectly on dried paint.
You can paint your hand in different colors - the body of the bird is green, the first phalanx of the finger is covered with blue, and the second phalanx is blue, the third is purple. And we immediately get a colorful beautiful bird using the “drawing with palms” technique.
You can apply your palm several times to a sheet of paper and get a drawing with a magnificent peacock tail. With your fingers, you can add bright yellow spots to the peacock feathers. Next, when the paint dries, cut out the silhouette of the body of the bird, and glue it to the center of our handprint. We will complete the craft-drawing by gluing the eyes, beak and paws.
An adult palm with closed fingers can be the source for the peacock craft drawing below. The base of the palm continues with the outlines of the breast and neck of the bird. Around the fingerprint add swirls of feathers and a pattern of "peacock eye".
Drawing with DOVE paints can also be created using the handprint technique. Here you need to spread your fingers to the sides as much as possible and smear the paint thicker. The center of the palm has a recess that will not be printed on paper - we simply paint over this unpainted place on the print with a brush. To the thumb we add a beak, an eye and a green branch of the world. A simple topic for an abstract of an open lesson on the topic CHILD AND SOCIETY.
And here's another great idea - in drawing with palms combine together PRINTS OF HANDS AND FOOT. As we see in the photo below, this drawing involves a footprint (the body of a cockatoo) and handprints (the bright plumage of a Brazilian bird). The curved beak can be drawn on or cut out of colored paper.
A bright red handprint can be easily drawn into a flamingo with a long, curving neck. The bend of the neck can be drawn with fingers, since we do not use a brush.
Red bullfinch birds are also a great craft for children. On winter branches, red winter birds look like a DIY New Year's card. We tint the background of the paper in advance in blue (using a thick blush brush and water painted over with gouache).
Bullfinches are obtained if the palm (with closed fingers) is placed horizontally on a branch. And if the handprint is made vertically - across the branch, then we will get the outlines of an owl. We are waiting for the paint to dry, then we glue two round pieces of paper eyes. We finish the green leaves on the branch with our fingers, on the bud there is a yellow beak and paws. We get an excellent drawing with palms in the form of an OWL.
Drawing with two hands
Bird with spread wings.
If you print two palms at once (left and right), then you can make more interesting drawings. For example, such a swallow can decorate a spring craft. The palm drawing needs to be supplemented only with a circle-head and three strokes of the tail. The idea is suitable for the summary of the drawing class for SPRING.
An eagle bird is also obtained if the hands are printed in turn (right, then left) - placing them opposite each other (stroking the base of the palm on each other). We draw the white neck of the eagle with our fingers, dipping them in white gouache.
As you can see, palm painting can display absolutely any bird. Try to make yourself a STORK, a HERON (the frogs will be lower), a TITMOUSE with a yellow breast, a flock of cheerful SPARROWS.
Hand drawing.
For application in kindergarten.
Also, a handprint can be prepared and dried in advance to participate inside the craft-applique. In kindergarten classes, you can prepare the handprints of children in advance (by signing the name on the back so as not to confuse). In preparation for the application, we cut out the outlines of the palm, prepare other details of the future craft, and the task of the children is simply to collect all the elements of the picture together. Make a ROOK bird or chickens with a wing-palm. This hand-drawing craft is suitable for the younger group of kindergarten. Do not forget to make dots of snowfall with blue or white paint, and dots of grains in the feeder with yellow paint - for this you do not need a brush, you have FINGERS.
And here is a cute chicken with a wing-palm. Such an application in kindergarten is suitable for children of the younger group.
Two prints of black palms - and we have the wings of a crow. Now we need 2 circles of black paper (smaller - head, larger - body), beak and legs of red paper. A great fun craft for children in the middle group of kindergarten.
And here is a craft for the smallest children. Glue the body of an owl onto a sheet of paper, then two eyes and a beak. And it remains to add wings to her - typos of palms with bright gouache. Great idea for kids.
The same can be done with a chicken craft made from yellow palms. Drawing after the completed application. First we work with glue, then we paint our hands with gouache, print them and wash them under a tap with soap. In kindergarten, this work on the craft can be divided into 2 parts - in the first half of the day we do the application itself, and after sleeping, individually, in turn, the children approach the teacher, who applies paint to the palm of his hand and helps the child to print correctly. After applying, the teacher wipes off the main layer of paint with a cloth and sends the child to wash his hands with soap ... and calls the next child for the same procedure.
Hand drawing
Crafts for girls.
Separately, I want to lay out the topics of hand drawings - topics that GIRLS will like ... and then those that will interest BOYS.
A good theme for girls is drawing a bunny. Delicate white craft on a black cardboard background.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!! .If you plan to leave an ink print on glossy cardboard, you will not succeed. The gouache will curl into droplets without sticking to smooth, slippery cardboard. TO AVOID THIS, you can use one trick - add a little liquid soap to gouache - and then the print will calmly fall on glossy cardboard.
Drawing with palms can be decorated and decorated with a variety of materials - feathers, colored paper appliqué, beads, rhinestones.
You can draw a delicate pink flamingo. Paint the palm in a bright pink color, make a juicy palm print on a piece of paper. And immediately, until the paint has dried, sprinkle the wet surface with sparkles. The craft is perfect for kids.
Girls will also enjoy the hand painting of the MAGIC UNICORN PONY. A beautiful delicate unicorn craft can be decorated with sparkles and rhinestones. To fix the sparkles, use PVA glue - draw the elements of the mane and tail with glue and immediately, until the glue has dried, sprinkle everything with sparkles. We wait a minute and shake off the extra glitter on the newspaper.
Here is such an interesting frog-girlfriend if you cover your palm with thick green paint. We are waiting for everything to dry, add the outlines of the legs with a black marker. We finish the fly. Even before the imprint on a paper blue background, you need to stick a green oval of a water lily sheet - and then make an imprint over this sheet. Frog is a theme that everyone likes.
Girls will also like drawings of flowers from the palms. If a bright palm is supplemented with a long green stalk and a leaf, we will get a flower that has blossomed petals. It remains to place the sun, butterflies and bees nearby. Bees are fingerprints.
But drawing with the palms of a flowering cactus in a pot. An excellent idea for drawing in kindergarten is the middle and older group. A simple child-friendly theme for non-traditional drawing.
And here is an idea for a butterfly craft. It can be a simple print directly onto paper. Or you can separately prepare handprints, dry them and cut them out as in the master class below. The craft is also suitable for kids.
And girls like angels. Craft an angel for Christmas can please a grandmother or mother. Beautiful angels in the technique of drawing with palms.
Hand drawings.
Crafts for girls.
And now let's see what handicrafts the boys in kindergarten and at school can do with their hands.
Here is an idea for a fire breathing dragon. Here we paint over the gaps between the fingers with yellow paint. Add a long tail and neck of the dragon.
For younger children, crafts for kids are suitable - in the form of a large dinosaur. Here, an adult makes a silhouette application in advance, and the child only leaves a few handprints on the back of the beast. Easy to understand theme for kids.
Older children can paint the body and tail of the dragon themselves.
Pirates and their ships will also please the boys. Offer such an interesting weekend craft to your home robber - he will be delighted.
Try to come up with imprints of those characters whose adventures you read before bed. These can be good kings, wild Indians, ninja turtles, alien robots, etc.
The boys like to draw scary spiders - two palms will make an excellent spider. Glue the eyes on white paper.
Hand drawing
Cats and dogs.
Cute cats can also be depicted with the palm of your hand. We finish the tail and head with ears. It will look great if the head is cut out of a piece of fur or velvet paper - you get a great craft for the older group of kindergarten. And for kids, it will be pleasant - stroking the kitten's delicate fur coat is a great pleasure for small children.
And here is a beautiful spotted dog. We make a white hand drawing and add the outlines of the head and then with our fingers we make dots from black gouache.
For a child of 3-4 years old, such a craft in the form of a dog is suitable. We make a palm print with white gouache on black paper. Cut out. Add an oval white head, black ears, nose and eyes. A good topic for a summary of the drawing class in the Pets themed week
And if you make a dog print with a protruding little finger and thumb, you get such a cute portrait of a dog. Dogs are a popular children's theme.
Drawing with palms and paints.
Cheerful zoo.
And here is an interesting way to create drawings of animals using the hand painting technique for children. If the palm is placed on paper SIDELY - spread fingers to the left or right - then we get a blank for an animal that clings to a tree trunk or creepers in the jungle. And of course these animals will be MONKEY or BEAR KOALA.
And if the slightly spread fingers of the palm are lowered down, then we will get four legs for animals with four paws or hooves. In this technique, crafts-drawings BEAR, GIRAFFE are made. We make the spots of the giraffe with our fingers. These animals are often used in kindergarten as non-traditional drawing.
But beautiful crafts with the addition of colored paper - BULL and RACCOON. Simple palm drawing for the older group of kindergarten, for children 5 - 7 years old.
From two palms MOTHER'S and CHILDREN'S you can make beautiful pictures in the form of animals and their cubs. Horse with foal. Elephant with baby elephant. Beautiful family crafts with their own hands from the palms.
For the smallest, the Hedgehog craft is suitable, where you just need to print your palms in a chaotic manner. It will turn out well if each finger is smeared with a DIFFERENT shade of brown - so we get not a common porridge-mass, but needle-shaped outlines of different colors. An excellent craft for classes in kindergarten - here you can give the children the outlines of a hedgehog, paints, a brush and let them get their hands dirty themselves - put them with their fingers up on the hedgehog, get dirty again and apply again. Delight and pant for an hour at least.
Hand drawing
Unconventional technique
WITH A SEA THEME.
The inhabitants of the seas (crabs, fish, turtles and other aquatic animals) are also excellent when drawing with their palms. We take a sheet of blue paper - we paste a strip of yellow paper on it (this is sand), a piece of cotton wool (this is a cloud). And it remains only to make two handprints with red paint and we get a drawing of a CRAB. A simple craft for an unconventional drawing lesson in kindergarten.
The marine theme can continue in any characters, whales, sharks, crayfish, snails, turtles. Let's see…
A blue handprint can be turned into a wonderful Yudo fish KIT.
AND HERE IS A SIMPLE CRAFTS for non-traditional drawing FOR KIDS IN KINDERGARTEN. Suitable for a nursery group, the teacher distributes paper aquariums to children and it remains to add a palm print to it - it will be a fish. Glue eyes, draw a mouth. We glue bubbles, algae from colored paper, sprinkle sand (sifted from the sandbox) on the bottom on a puddle of PVA glue.
If the palm is painted with stripes, then we will get such a picture of a STRIPED fish from a cartoon. An affordable craft for beginners in an art circle.
In the same way, you can get TURTLE drawings - here you need to add strokes to outline the lower edge of the shell, a round head and expressive eyes.
Black marker, dots along the marker prints and we have an adorable OCTOPUS. Remember that the marker writes only on dry paint.
You can take a large sheet of paper and place on it a whole composition of different characters drawn using the hand drawing technique for children in kindergarten.
And also the collective work of the entire kindergarten group looks great - AQUARIUM in the form of a large panel on the wall. For group activities during the summer season.
Drawing with PALM
For NEW YEAR.
And of course, the New Year holiday also boasts ideas for handicrafts using the palm painting technique. Here we can make Santa Claus with a white beard from the palm of his hand. Or bright candles on a Christmas wreath of spruce paws. Choose your themes and decide how they can be displayed in the technique of hand drawings.
These are such bright and beautiful ideas for a kindergarten for drawing with palms on animations.
Now you can make crafts with your own hands using children's handprints.
Good luck with your creativity. Let everything work out.
