Simple crafts for kids
If you have never engaged in this type of creativity with your child before, then you need to start classes with the simplest models. Find your favorite designs on the Internet and try to turn your ideas into reality.
Fascinating colors
Getting to know new textures and experimenting with color is an important stage in the aesthetic education of preschoolers.
By creating modular multi-layer elements for panels or garlands, the child will develop his taste by creating different color combinations.
Coloring books for early preschool age can be replaced with projects for shading cut-out pieces for applique. Mastering scissors will allow you to include fabric and yarn in the list of materials for crafts.
Octopus
Paper crafts for children 5 years old are one of the most interesting types. You can make various applications from paper.
If you make the preparations for younger kids yourself, then at this age the baby should do everything on his own.
Making an octopus is very simple. To do this you will need a set of colored paper, glue, markers or pencils and scissors.
Draw straight lines and the body of the octopus on paper in advance. Then give your child scissors and explain how to properly cut the paper along the lines.
The kid must try and make straight lines. If he fails a little, then there is no need to scold him. The main thing is patience.

Once everything is cut out, you can start gluing. We glue the tentacles to the body of the octopus. By the way, they can be multi-colored. We twist them a little on one edge. To be sure, you can secure them with a stapler.
Now get creative and decorate your octopus. You can draw eyes with felt-tip pens and make a beautiful hat.
What should you keep in mind in order for yesterday's fourth-grader and his parents to get used to new learning conditions without complications? First of all, there is no need to be afraid of “evil teachers” in advance; there is no need to tune in to the bad and pass on such fears to your child.
An easy way to find out about new teachers is to visit the school's website. Look at the news, photos, pages dedicated to the teaching staff.
Talk with your child about school, about preparations for it (have you purchased suitable stationery, textbooks, is a reading diary kept, have you prepared a uniform and replacement shoes, a tracksuit and a new briefcase or backpack). The effect of novelty must be in at least something! Find out in what mood he goes to 5th grade.
Usually at the end of August the class teacher gathers the children. He gives a tour of the school, introduces the numbering of rooms, informs about the rules of behavior for students, the bell schedule and first lessons, and gives instructions on how to behave. On the first day of school, after the ceremonial assembly and several lessons (perhaps there will be only one world lesson), the children draw up a diary page with a list of teachers and subjects. And everyday life begins...
The very first thing you have to get used to is new teachers in different subjects and five to six lessons a day in different rooms, moving from floor to floor. The class teacher is also a subject specialist; he cannot constantly accompany the children and control them in all lessons. He is nearby in the cafeteria when the class is having lunch, at community clean-ups of the school grounds, at school-wide or class-level events, when he organizes trips to additional educational institutions, museums, theaters, and on excursions.
As a rule, in the event of something unexpected, urgent communication with the class teacher is required, so you need to have his phone number. If a child falls and hurts himself, loses something, has a stomach ache, or someone offends him, he should seek help from adults (medical workers, teachers, class teacher, administrator on duty). Be sure to find out and tell your child where the medical room, teacher's room or teaching room is located.
The level of difficulty of lessons and the amount of homework in the 5th grade increases, you need to carefully prepare at home, be active in learning activities, ask questions if something is not clear, control your own mood and behavior. You cannot refuse clubs and sections, music or art schools. Additional hobby classes teach children to be collected, disciplined, value time, and plan their day rationally. The load is, of course, heavy, so proper sleep, walking in the fresh air, and rest are important.
The child’s initiative, curiosity, and interest are encouraged in the lesson. Only under this condition will the efforts expended give a good result, and the habit of constantly working, and not from time to time, will appear. In addition, children discover new knowledge on their own, of course, with the support of the teacher, sorting out the difficulty that has arisen through problematic dialogue.
The lesson becomes more intense, there are many questions that require additional material - make reports and messages. Make sure that your child prepares at home, does not read the information, but speaks freely, without relying on text or help.
Children's practical skills are tested more often; they are given a lot of essays, presentations, tests, dictations, and grammatical analyzes. These skills are practiced in almost every lesson; in class work, all useful examples are written down in notebooks.
The assessment system also changes compared to elementary school. No grade is given for the external design of the work or handwriting; corrections are more tolerant. Special signs appear in the margins of the notebook:
— “sticks” (I) and “ticks” (V) — symbols of spelling and punctuation errors,
- “R” - speech impediment,
- “G” is a grammatical error,
- “F” is a factual error,
- “L” is a logical error,
— “E” is an ethical mistake.
At each lesson, the child must learn to solve life problems, plan his activities, use self-control and self-esteem. Your actions need to be regulated and subordinated to a specific, generally beneficial goal.
All subjects are based on educational and scientific texts, are full of terms, and are not easy to read. At home, you should re-read the given paragraphs several times, emphasize the most important things, answer questions, extract meaning from the texts you read, read a lot at home, and keep your reading diary. Of course, oral answers are also different; instead of monosyllabic and short ones, monologue answers with well-founded argumentation are valued (“I think so because...”; “I think that...”).
The role of parents is to control (the child cannot be left to his own devices, considering that he is already independent). Fifth grade, like first grade, is the most difficult for a parent: once you set the tone, everything will continue either like clockwork or this way or that, but it definitely won’t be any easier.
The best support is provided by loved ones, do not rely on teachers, they did not adopt your child, which means you need to constantly communicate with your son and daughter, finding out about both difficulties and successes. Don't rush to believe everything literally. It often happens that a child begins to exaggerate or tell incredible stories. Compare the children's version with the teacher's interpretation. Find something in between and take action before it's too late. Try not to enter into conflict and take a compromise position. “Military” actions in pedagogy are the worst option for developing relations between home and school. Both sides will suffer!
The daily routine plays a special role. It’s good if the child has had it for a long time and there are no inconveniences. A reasonable combination of basic studies and additional interests brings only benefits; there is no need to give up music or dancing just because the child does not have time. Maybe it's all about proper organization? It is more difficult if the school has a second shift (we remind you that grades 1, 5, 9-11 must study in the first shift!).
Five to six lessons a day, clubs and sections are intense work for a child. And maintaining a level of health is an important thing! A good breakfast before school and a hearty lunch in the cafeteria will protect him from various ailments. Give us sandwiches and apples and plain clean water with you. Of course, limit your child’s cash reserves: only for travel (if he goes home on his own) and that’s it. No ice cream, chocolates, chewing gum, chips or soda. If a school has shops and kiosks, there is always a crowd of kids there after school. Imagine, with unwashed hands - one, they take chips or crackers and immediately put them in their mouth - two, they drink juice one at a time from one bag - three, they travel in public transport and chew, wiping their hands on whatever happens - four... A sad picture.
Many parents worry about how many notebooks and what kind they need to buy for 5th grade. As many as always, and the most ordinary ones - lined and squared, 18 sheets each with the most ordinary covers, no frills. Notebooks of 12 sheets are quickly running out: several homework and class assignments, and now the last sheet.
There should be two replaceable workbooks for the Russian language, one for tests and one for speech development. There are also two working papers in mathematics, one each for tests and independent work. An average of 10 notebooks are spent per quarter. Moreover, some of them will become drafts.
The teacher, as a rule, checks the notebooks in mathematics and the Russian language often and takes them home with him. Which is easier: 25 thin notebooks or the same number, but 24-40 sheets each? Few notes are taken in other subjects, so special subject notebooks can only be started from the 7th-8th grade.
Other parents are interested in the question of whether the preparation of children studying in primary school in different educational lines and programs differs. According to the standard, all children should have equal preparation by the end of 4th grade. But don’t forget how your child studied: excellent or mediocre. He had to learn the minimum. The main thing is that he learns new things and “builds on” walls and a roof to the existing foundation. Otherwise, the whole building will collapse, if you think that I already know this, I missed it due to illness, and then I’ll catch up. Then it may not happen, and there will inevitably be a lag.
In the Russian language, you need to know all types of grammatical analyzes and be able to do them: phonetic, compositional, morphological, syntactic. Do not confuse sounds and letters. Distinguish between paired and unpaired consonants. Correctly transfer words from one line to another. Define synonyms and antonyms, use dictionaries and Internet resources. Select words with the same root. Determine the declension, gender, number and case of a noun. Know personal pronouns. Determine verb conjugation. Distinguish between prepositions and conjunctions. Know the homogeneous members of a sentence. Do not confuse complex sentences with simple ones.
Mandatory SPELLING rules that you need to know by heart:
writing unstressed vowels, paired, unpronounceable and double consonants at the root of a word;
case endings of nouns and adjectives, personal endings of verbs, NOT with verbs;
combinations ZHI-SHI, CHA-SCHA, CHU-SCHU, CHK-CHN;
capital letter at the beginning of a sentence, in proper names;
separating b and b, b after hissing nouns and verbs at the end.
In PUNCTUATION: be able to put commas between homogeneous terms.
You also need to copy a simple text of 70-90 words without errors;
compose texts in the form of narrative and description;
retell texts;
write a dictation of 75-80 words.
In 5th grade, instead of literary reading, a new subject is literature. What kind of reading experience should a future fifth-grader have?
His reading range includes not only fiction, but also popular science books, Russian and foreign classics, and children's magazines.
Main topics for reading: history, homeland, nature, work, children, relationships between people, good and evil, adventure, fantasy.
It is necessary to distinguish between folklore and literary genres (fairy tale, short story, story, poem, fable), be able to work with a book, and independently choose books to read based on content and output.
Children should be familiar with the types of reading: introductory, study, selective. You need to read whole words, not syllables. Expressive reading and retelling of what was read in a volume of 1.5 pages, personal assessment, argumentation of one’s opinion, the ability to pose and answer questions. Reading poems by heart, drawing up a simple plan, creating short written answers to questions posed about the work.
From all of the above, you can make a plan for the summer preparation of your future fifth-grader for school.
Caterpillar
Making a caterpillar from colored paper is very simple. To do this, you need to choose colors and cut circles. It is very difficult for kids to cut out this shape, so draw a circle of the required size on a piece of paper in advance and practice. It's okay if the circles are not even.
Cut out 7-9 multi-colored circles. Glue the circles onto a white sheet of paper. The very first circle should be a little larger - this is the head of our caterpillar. On this ball you need to draw eyes, a mouth and you can finish drawing a cap or cut it out of paper.
If you want, you can make caterpillar legs. To prevent the leaf from being white, take paints and complete the clearing. And those kids who are already familiar with appliqué can make trees and flowers from colored paper.
Golden mean
Most typical appliqué projects take 20 minutes to complete. But unsuccessful attempts can slow down the process, and the child will need help from adults.
Here it is important to adequately assess the problem and not spoil the mood due to failures. First, you need to stock up on additional paper and supplies. Secondly, make sure that the scissors are comfortable and of good quality.
If after two or three attempts the baby cannot cope with the task, it is necessary to simplify the conditions: take on part of the work yourself, connecting him at the stage of combining and gluing.
Mastering manual skills requires repeated repetition, and at home you can replace short-term appliqué with a large project to create panels with many identical parts.
Bee
Crafts made from cardboard for children are much stronger than those made from paper. Therefore, if your baby will play with a paper toy, it is better to buy colored cardboard. You can make a beautiful bee out of it.
To make a paper bee, you don't need to buy fancy materials. You will need colored cardboard or paper, scissors and glue. True, you will need to cut out more details than, for example, when making cherries.
We cut out a small circle from yellow cardboard - this is the abdomen. We make the wings from white paper. Cut them in the shape of petals or droplets. From black paper we cut out a head and three strips of different sizes.

You need to start collecting the bee from the abdomen. Glue a yellow circle onto a white sheet of paper. Then we glue three black sticks onto it. They should be located at an equal distance from each other.
Now you can glue the wings. They are glued to the base of the body. We glue the head on top. It must have eyes. They can be made from colored paper, or you can buy ready-made ones.
Wonderful stripes
Identical paper strips make a nest for birds or raw materials for weaving baskets and rugs.
By learning how to cut fringe on parts with different configurations, you can make grass, a horse with a mane, disheveled monsters and one-eyed pirates.
Strips wound on a pencil will turn into curls for the hairstyles of beauties or can depict fire coming out of a rocket nozzle.
Interesting crafts for children
Children love plasticine very much. You can make unusual toys from it and just have fun.
Ladybug
It's very easy to do. To create, you need red, white and black plasticine.
We make a ball out of red plasticine and stretch it out a little, literally a few millimeters. You need to make a head from black plasticine. First we make a circle, and then we level it out almost to form a triangle, but try to avoid sharp corners.
Make small cakes from black and white plasticine. They are located all over the ladybug's body. Using a plastic knife, make wings for the insect.
Using scrap materials
Branches and bark, pine cones and feathers obtained during walks, as well as kinder cases, cardboard boxes and plastic dishes can become materials for crafts.
In order to get a high-quality result, you should use the instructions for creating such crafts.

Robot
DIY crafts for 5-year-old children can be very diverse. You can make a robot out of plasticine. All colors will be used. Make the body and head square, the head should be a little smaller and resemble an old TV screen.
Handles and legs can be made multi-colored from small plasticine balls.
You can decorate the robot with antennas and unusual plasticine accessories. Try to attach the plasticine as tightly as possible so that it does not fall apart during play. For such a craft, both regular and air plasticine are suitable.
What should a child know before going to school? The main principles of teaching future schoolchildren
The principle “the more the merrier” does not work in teaching children. Older preschoolers have just begun to consciously perceive the world around them, they are just learning to interact with it. And the most valuable knowledge that adults can offer children is how to learn correctly and expand their horizons. How to prepare a future first-grader for school?
- Develop his intellect. We are talking about the development of the mind (memory, logic, imagination) and independent thinking, which will allow the child to analyze information, draw the right conclusions, and find effective solutions.
- Develop communication skills. The child will have to study in a difficult social environment. The preschool experience of learning in a team and interacting with a teacher is useful for quick and painless adaptation to a school environment.
- Encourage and motivate for high results. The child really needs recognition of his work and achievements. Timely praise has a positive effect on children's self-esteem and, at the same time, is an incentive to show work and cognitive initiative in the future.
- To interest a child in knowledge and learning, using the most accessible form of education in childhood - a game.
And finally, parents can enroll their future student in developmental courses for children at the Soroban® School of Mental Arithmetic. In speed calculation lessons, preschoolers do not learn everything that a child should know before going to school: a foreign language, the alphabet and spelling... But they develop all the abilities necessary for successful learning in all areas of knowledge, quick adaptation and achievement of success.
