Happy February 23rd postcards for children. DIY postcard ideas. We make cards with applique for dad and grandfather

For the holiday of Defenders of the Fatherland Day, kindergartens and schools begin to prepare in advance: educators and teachers need to come up with what their students will give to their beloved fathers and grandfathers, and children need to bring all these ideas to life under the strict guidance of adults.

We offer to congratulate a man on Defenders of the Fatherland Day with the most expensive gift - a postcard or drawing made by a child. What can kids do for their dads and grandfathers? Read in the article material.

How to draw a card for February 23 with a pencil and paints for children?

In kindergarten, children learn to draw their first schematic drawings. Step-by-step lessons will help educators prepare gifts for fathers and grandfathers on February 23, because it is in preschool that children learn about the holiday and its meaning, and why men are congratulated on this day.

Let's start with the drawing. We will need:

• protractor (we will use it to draw a star)
• a compass or other device that can be used to draw a circle

Let's move on to drawing:

• Draw a circle and draw two lines in it that will divide it into 4 equal sections.
• We measure 72 degrees on a protractor and draw a line inside along two opposite sections.

• Again we measure 72 degrees from the already drawn line and draw a second straight line, and then a third.

• In order not to get confused, we mark with dots what we are measuring and from what. How to draw the lines correctly can be seen in the photo.

• We should have 10 identical sections. Let's draw a dash in the middle of each line (through one straight line). Draw a star and slightly round the corners.
• Use an eraser to erase the circle and additional lines inside the star. Draw an outline around the star.

• Now let's draw a St. George's ribbon with edges curved down. Let's continue the edges of the ribbon on both sides of the star.

• We draw three parallel black lines on each part of the tape. We turn the schematic drawing into a postcard by decorating the star and ribbon, and adding the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day.”

An excellent drawing on the theme of Defender of the Fatherland Day - a valiant soldier at his post. Such a drawing will decorate both a postcard and a school wall newspaper prepared for the holiday.

For the drawing you will need:

• blank sheet of paper
• simple pencil
• colour pencils
• ruler

• Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing a vertical line down the center. The left side should be slightly narrower than the right. Draw an oval in the upper third. This will be the head. Below it we draw the outline of the future collar.
• Focusing on the preliminary markings, we draw in detail the soldier’s head, which is wearing a hat with earflaps. Add the neck and shoulders. The soldier will be wearing a pea coat, so let's outline his outline.

• We draw a face and hands. We complete the small details of the clothing.
• Don't forget to draw our defender the machine gun he is holding in his hands. First we’ll sketch out the lines, and then we’ll draw in more detail. The photo shows what needs to be depicted.

• Now you need to draw the protective colors of the uniform and the outline of the banner in the background.

• We write on the left side of the sheet the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day” and specify the background.
• After that, all that remains is to decorate the drawing.

If the previous drawing is difficult to draw, then the child can cope with the schematic image of the tank presented in the step-by-step lesson below without the help of adults.

• For the drawing you will need pencils and a sheet of paper. It is better to use a checkered notebook sheet. This will make it easier for the child to navigate and draw all the lines correctly.
• Let's draw the barrel of the tank: in the center of the sheet we will draw a line 4-5 cm long, and above it, at a distance of about 1 cm, another parallel one.

• Let's connect the lines on the left side, and draw the beginning of the barrel with an oval on the right side.
• Let's start drawing the tank turret. To do this, step back down 1 cm and at a distance of about 1/3 from the length of the barrel, draw an elongated rectangle 10-12 cm long. Step back from the edge of the base by about 0.5 cm, put dots and connect them in a semicircle.

• Below we draw the base of the tank caterpillar. How to do this is shown in the photo. Inside the base we draw 5 circles and sketch them with a black pencil.

• Let's draw a star in the center of the tower and a flying flag on a long pole. We paint the tank green, the star red and add an inscription.

Video: Postcard to Dad for February 23, Military Airplane

A schoolchild can easily cope with the drawing “Warship”, which will be a good gift for dad or grandfather if tanks and planes have already been given to the heroes of the holiday.

Since Defender of the Fatherland Day once had the name “Day of the Soviet Army and Navy,” it is celebrated by all military personnel: both on land and at sea.

This is what we will draw:

First, let's prepare everything you need:

• blank sheet of paper
• a simple pencil and a black felt-tip pen
• colored pencils or available paints

• Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing a horizontal line. Do not forget that we draw all the preliminary contours without pressing the pencil, so that later there will be no trace of the erased lines.
• We will draw the ship in the lower half. First, let's draw a wavy line that will represent the surface of the water. Let's draw the stern with all the necessary protrusions.
• On the left side of the stern we will draw a cannon. In the central part of the stern we will add the following elements: captain's cabin and radar. They are not difficult to draw if you exactly repeat all the lines, as in the photo.

• At the bottom of the captain's cabin we will draw a battery of torpedoes and add a row of portholes.

• We draw a flying flag and, to make the picture more realistic, add a couple of birds flying in the distance.
• You can stop here and move on to coloring. But this is not enough for a greeting card: you will also have to add an inscription.
• You need to color the drawing like this: a warship - blue-gray, water - blue, draw a red stripe at the bottom of the ship and select the right colors to depict the national flag.

Ideas and templates of cards for February 23rd in kindergarten

• The issue of preparing for the holiday on February 23 begins to worry kindergarten teachers and school teachers long before its onset. It is only at first glance that it seems that there is nothing difficult in choosing the appropriate option for a gift.
• But this is not at all true, since the process of creating a craft or a postcard with your own hands, which children will then give to their dearest people - dads and grandfathers, should captivate them, and therefore they should immediately abandon complex elements or multi-tiered paper structures.
• A simple but original postcard or craft will appeal much more to both the little “creators” of the masterpiece and adults. What gifts can you prepare for the holiday on February 23 with children in kindergarten - see the photo selection below.

Ideas and templates for postcards for February 23rd to school

Children at school already know a lot, and therefore a simple picture of a tank or an airplane will not bring as much pleasure as creating a postcard with your own hands with a surprise, retractable parts, special appliqué, etc.

See the photo selection below of gifts for the holiday on February 23rd, made by schoolchildren, and get inspired!

• Cut out a star from red colored paper. To make it voluminous, you need to bend the “ears” that will be glued to the postcard. The star is bent along the lines with the outer edges outward and the inner edges inward.
• Glue the star on the wrong side of the card (spread).

• We will decorate with stripes cut from golden colored paper. Let's also make the little star golden.
• Glue 3 golden stripes vertically and horizontally onto the front side of the card, as shown in the photo. Glue a gold star next to it. To ensure that the strips stick evenly, it is better to first mark with a dotted line the places where they should be.

• A voluminous card can also be made using the quilling technique. To make a postcard, in addition to paper (colored and white), you will need toothpicks, glue and scissors.
• Fold the sheet so that one part is slightly longer. We write large numbers of the holiday date on it. The two should be on the front of the card. After the two is drawn, we add a three on the second page of the postcard. Cut out the numbers along the outer edge.
• We prepare “curls” from strips of colored paper. To make them, you need to “stick” a strip of colored paper onto a toothpick and twist it. You can see in the photo how to paste the resulting curls onto a postcard.
• We apply each spiral with the glued side to the numbers, trying not to leave large gaps between the curls. Add an asterisk between the numbers and sign the card.

• stick a slightly smaller star made of colored paper onto it so that you can draw stitches between the cardboard and the paper,
• stick a calendar piece of paper with the month of February, use a red felt-tip pen or pen to highlight the number 23,
• on the decorative ribbon make the inscription “Forward!” or “I serve the Fatherland!” - stick on thick double-sided tape,
• draw a cool character, in this case a bird with a horse on a stick or a bird with scientific opuses in its paw (the main thing is that the character has a cool facial expression - stupid or puzzled),
• glue it to the composition and your cool DIY greeting cards for February 23rd are ready,
• On the reverse side you can write a wish for the man.

Retro postcards for Defender of the Fatherland Day with an airplane.

Very cute and charming cards are obtained if you use the scrapbooking technique for making. Scrapbooking is a technique for creating voluminous and textured cards. Such postcards will be distinguished by their unusual appearance and originality; such artistic products are a kind of small collage of ready-made elements.

Retro and vintage works are created very well in this style. Ideas for a retro postcard could be an airplane, a parachute, a ship, or a vintage car.

Manufacturing begins with preparing its base. Place a sheet of paper on the table and, using a ruler and pencil, outline the contours of the future postcard. Its dimensions will be entirely determined by your desire.

Cut out a rectangle and fold it in half. Choose a background for the card - waves, a world map, or something neutral. It is necessary that the background is slightly smaller than the base and has the shape of a rectangle. The more details in the background picture, the fewer decorative elements should be used when designing a postcard. Glue the background to the base and smooth it thoroughly with clean hands.

After preparing the base, proceed to decorating scrapbooking cards for February 23rd with your own hands. Here you need to completely rely on your instincts. Select the necessary elements - an airplane, ropes, buttons and glue them according to plan. You don't need to apply too much glue, otherwise the work will look sloppy. Be sure to dry each part thoroughly.
