In kindergarten, each school week has its own specific theme. These could be domestic or wild animals, vegetables or fruits, birds or insects, transport or adult professions. One of the mandatory themes for all age groups is “Bread is the head of everything.” All classes of the week reinforce this theme: speech development and familiarization with the environment and nature, conversations and observations. Art classes are also held on this topic. This week children draw baked goods, ears of corn and a wheat field. In the article we will introduce parents to how drawing is carried out in the senior group on the topic “Bread”.
Bakery products
Starting from the younger group, children learn to draw various subject and plot pictures on the theme “Bread is the head of everything.” By the older group, they already have the skills to draw a symmetrical spikelet, buns and bagels. During the week dedicated to bread, you can plan an exhibition of bakery products with the older children.
The teacher can decide who will draw which baked goods, or the children themselves can decide if they wish. Then, on separate sheets of paper, the guys draw a loaf, bread, bagel, bun, loaf, bagels, donuts and braids, etc. Then all the variety is hung on a stand in the corridor. You can invite children of the younger group, parents, and kindergarten staff to the exhibition of works.
Project. Bread is the head of everything! | Country of Masters
Good day to all! Last year, my son (a second grader at the time) did (with my help) a project on the theme “Bread is the head of everything.” The project was made in PowerPoint; when exported to another format, the quality of the slides deteriorated. For the project and for the way his son defended it, Dima received a finalist certificate (the project was one of the best in the school, there were no winners this time). The presentation of the project required about 12 - 15 slides (preferably without text), the speech should take about 10-15 minutes. In this regard, the text was created according to the principle - short and clear. And there is no text on the slides, so each slide will accompany the speech that Dima spoke at his defense.
Slide 2 Purpose: to get acquainted with the process of growing bread; talk about the value of bread and respect for it and the people who raised it. Bread is a symbol of well-being and prosperity.
Bread on the table is wealth in the house.
Slide 3 Bread provides our body with proteins, carbohydrates, and beneficial microelements, which are necessary for brain function. Bread contains vitamin B, which strengthens the nervous system, memory, and improves digestion. Bread crust helps our body resist many cancers. Medical scientists believe that an adult should eat 300-500g of bread per day, or 700g during hard work. Children and teenagers need 150-400g of bread. A person gets almost half of his energy from bread.
Slide 4 Scientists believe that bread is over 15 thousand years old. True, bread in those ancient times was not much like today. The first bread was a liquid pulp made from cereals and water. In ancient Egypt, 5-6 thousand years ago, there was a kind of rebirth of bread. There they learned how to loosen dough using the fermentation method.
In medieval England, wealthy people used black bread as plates: large loaves of bread were cut into large slices, and a small depression was made in the middle of the piece into which food was placed. After lunch, these “plates” were collected in a basket and distributed to the poor.
Slide 5 You can’t get rye bread, loaves, rolls while walking. People cherish bread in the fields, they spare no effort for bread. (approx. author of poems Y. Akim) Bread appears on our table thanks to the hard work of grain growers. Strong machines help people grow and harvest bread. In the spring, tractors go out into the field. A plow is attached to the tractor, the plow turns over the earth. It comes out in large, dense clumps. Then the tractor pulls a harrow, similar to a large rake, which loosens the ground. Then seeders go out onto the plowed field and sow in three rows at once.
Slide 6 Spikelets grow from grains. Each ear contains many new grains. The grain fields are like the sea. The wind blows and the ears of corn sway like waves. The ears are golden, it's time to harvest. You must not hesitate so that the grains do not fall to the ground. Harvesters are out in the field, cutting the ears, threshing them, shaking out the grains from the ears.
Slide 7 Machines deliver grain to a mechanized conveyor for cleaning and drying. Then the grain is taken to the elevator - this is a large granary. Here the grain is ground - ground and flour is obtained. From a grain of wheat you can get about 20 milligrams of first grade flour. Baking one loaf requires more than 10 thousand grains.
Slide 8 Flour is supplied to bakeries and bakeries. Here they make bakery and confectionery products from it, which we then buy in stores. This is the long and difficult path that bread takes from the field to our table.
Slide 9 Today, the names of types of bread and bakery products number in the hundreds. (approx. list of names, for example, some names are shown on the slide)
Slide 10 Our main breadwinners are wheat and rye. White bread, rolls, cookies, and bagels are made from wheat flour. And they also make semolina from wheat. Black bread made from rye flour. The ear of wheat is thicker, and the ear of rye is thinner. Wheat grains are rounder, and rye grains are longer.
Slide 11 I decided to germinate wheat grains at home and kept a calendar of observations. Here are my observations. (note: all observations were photographed and signed, when and what happened to the sprouts, Dima commented on all this during his defense)
Slide 12 It was not possible to grow ears of corn at home, but I watched the ears of rye and oats, which we planted and raised with my grandparents, grow in the summer. And we planted them in the fall before winter. Our photographs show how the spikelets changed at different times. My mother and I also made a visual aid with the stages of the birth of bread.
Here I will step back a little from the project itself and demonstrate the very visual aid mentioned above. From the grains ears grow, from the ears we get grain, from the grain we get flour, and from the flour we make baked goods.
Wheat grains, ears, flour - real, baked goods made from salt dough, dried, painted, varnished.
Everything was arranged in the form of a stand.
Stand size.
Closer.
Many said that it turned out natural.
Let's continue.
Slide 13 Today you can buy as much bread as you want in the store, but there was a time when a piece of rye bread was more valuable than gold. During the Great Patriotic War, bread was baked from husks, grass, quinoa, bran, and sawdust. And they gave us a small piece of this bread, 125g, for the whole day. People understood that bread was their life. This piece could hardly be called bread, because it contained only 5 grams of flour, the rest was impurities. The Museum of the History of Leningrad contains a piece of moldy bread the size of a little finger. This was the daily ration for the residents of the city besieged by the Germans; there were no other products. While working on the project, I found wonderful poems: A boy who kicks bread with his foot, A boy who knows no hungry years, Remember that there were dashing years. Bread is life, not just food. They swore by bread, They died for bread, Not so that they could play football. Folk wisdom is hidden in the word. This is what our people say: “If you don’t value bread, you’ve ceased to be a human being.” (approx. author of poems Bobo Hoxha)
Slide 13 In Russia, according to a long-standing custom, dear guests are greeted with bread and salt. There are also a number of signs; it is believed that people who break bread become friends for life. It was considered the greatest sin in Rus' to drop at least one crumb of bread, and an even greater sin was to trample this crumb underfoot. (note: there is a speaker icon on the slide - to this slide we added an excerpt from the song (chorus) by Olga Voronets “Bread is the head of everything”, namely these lines: You remember, son, the golden words - Bread is the head of everything, Bread is the head of everything! ) Take care of the BREAD! BREAD is our wealth! Thank you for your attention!

Meeting with guests
In our country there is a tradition, following which dear guests are greeted with bread and salt. They bring out a beautiful loaf on a clean embroidered towel. With five-year-old children in the older group, drawing on the topic “Bread” can be done after the teacher tells about the loaf and looks at the illustrations of welcoming guests. Separately, the children are shown a sample of a beautiful embroidered towel. The teacher explains how to draw a large decorated bread. A small salt shaker is placed in the middle of it. According to tradition, guests should break off a small piece of loaf, dip it in salt and eat it.
Following the example of the teacher, children first draw a semicircle of bread with light brown paint. The top of the loaf is decorated with spikelets or flowers of the same color. A white towel is drawn below. After drying, its edges are painted with geometric or floral patterns. At the end of drawing, a salt shaker is placed on top. White salt can be made by dipping a cotton swab.
Progress of the lesson
So, guys, take a close look at the pictures you got. Go to other tables. What do you think we will talk about in class ? Correct about bread .
Guys, I brought reproductions of paintings by Russian artists to our lesson . In Stozharov's " Bread , salt and brother"
and Ilya Ivanovich
Look at this picture, what can you say about it?
Children's answers: That's right, it's a still life.
Let's remember what a still life is. Still life is a genre of art that depicts inanimate objects in specially created compositions.
What other genres of art do you know?
Correct: Landscape and portrait.
Landscape is an image of nature or some area (forest, field, grove, etc.)
Educator: Let's look at our still life and what is drawn on it.
How the artist arranged his objects. Isn't it nice to see such an abundance of bread and pies? It seems that the painting emanates a delicious smell of freshly baked bread , rolls, and fluffy dough.
Guys, let's be artists and draw a still life, but to start drawing we need to stretch our fingers.
Knead the flour into the dough, squeeze and unclench your fingers.
And we made them from the dough: They clap their palms and “mold”
.
Pies and buns, Alternately bending fingers
Sweet cheesecakes, starting with the little finger.
We will bake everything in the oven. Turning both palms up.
Delicious! Stroking the belly.
Educator: First, you and I will draw a sketch with a simple pencil. What do you see in front of you? (Children's answers)
.
First, we will draw the surface of the table. (Children draw together with the teacher)
Then we see that there is a basket of bread . What types of baked goods do you see in the basket? (Children's answers)
.
Pay attention to what lies next to the basket. (Children's answers)
.
Well done guys, you made wonderful pencil sketches.
While drawing, soft music is turned on. P. I. Tchaikovsky “July, August”
from the series
"Seasons"
.
Now we can move on to working with colored pencils. Please tell me what colors we will use? (Children's answers)
.
Did you enjoy drawing a still life today? What did you find difficult?
Bread in a basket
Drawing in the senior group on this topic can be planned as follows:
1. First, children depict a basket. This can be an ordinary product woven from twigs. The child first draws the contours with a simple pencil, dividing it into sectors. Only then are small details painted over, alternating light and dark elements with each other.
2. Then, after complete drying, the bread and bagel are painted, shading the curves of the products with a lighter shade.
3. You can insert several spikelets into the basket in the background. To do this, you need to draw with a simple pencil and then paint, also alternating colors.
Such drawing in the older group on the topic “Bread” can be done using colored pencils or wax crayons. Because there are a lot of small details.
Please note: if you want to draw such a picture at home with your child, then five-year-old children should already understand the spatial arrangement of objects. What is closer is drawn in a larger size, what is further away is drawn in a small size. To draw a basket, use such an angle when the front of the wallet is located lower, not at the same level as the back side. The inside of the container is visible. You can draw a handle for it, or you can put a napkin on the bottom of the basket and draw the corners of the fabric hanging from the middle of it.
Subject of drawing
As additional ideas for drawing in the senior group on the topic “Bread”, you can offer the following options:
1. Treats for dolls.
2. Tea party with bagels.
4. Sandwich for breakfast.
6. We bake bagels for grandma.
You can fantasize for a long time, which allows for a variety of bakery products. You can draw a sheaf in a field or spikelets in a vase. The main thing is for children to learn that bread is an important product in a person’s life, so it needs to be protected and treated with respect.

grain field
After a lesson on introducing the professions of adults, in which children observed how bread is made and what kind of people are involved in the process of creating such a main product on our table, you can consolidate the material in a drawing lesson in the senior group. Drawing a grain field is not difficult, but some preliminary work will be required.
First, the day before class, you will need to paint a blue background so that the paint dries well. The next day, the guys are already drawing the wheat itself growing in the field. You can draw yellow, fully ripened spikelets, or you can depict green shoots.
Children in the older group are already learning to depict the movement of objects. Therefore, you need to explain to the children that the wind sways the spikelets and they tilt in different directions. They can also be drawn in a semicircle, lowered down. When the spikelet ripens, the grains become heavy and pull it down. The lower part of the picture is filled with sticks on which the grains are held. On top of the blue sky you can draw white clouds and the sun.
Drawing in the senior group on the topic “Bread”: variations of themes, age characteristics
In kindergarten, each school week has its own specific theme. These could be domestic or wild animals, vegetables or fruits, birds or insects, transport or adult professions. One of the mandatory themes for all age groups is “Bread is the head of everything.” All classes of the week reinforce this theme: speech development and familiarization with the environment and nature, conversations and observations. Art classes are also held on this topic. This week children draw baked goods, ears of corn and a wheat field. In the article we will introduce parents to how drawing is carried out in the senior group on the topic “Bread”.

Abstract drawing “Bread is the head of everything”
Goal: To teach children unconventional ways of drawing an ear of wheat.
expand and deepen children’s knowledge about a wheat ear and its appearance.
strengthen your drawing skills using brush bristles.
— increase the motivation of visual activity through awareness of its moral significance; improve gross and fine motor skills.
activate adjectives in children’s speech (yellow, prickly, golden).
Educational objectives: to cultivate independence and focus in work, the ability to complete a job started, accuracy when working with paints. Cultivate a caring attitude towards bread.
The teacher tells the ancient legend about the ear of bread:
— In ancient times, when God himself walked the earth, people’s lives were easy and well-fed. It was summer all year round. When needed, it rained, when needed, the sun shone. Fruit trees grew in the forests. The animals were docile, and all fed on grass. People knew no disease, no troubles, no hunger. The ear of grain was very large - there was almost no stalk, the grains started from the ground itself, and each grain was the size of a bean. There was so much bread that no one valued it. One day God walked the earth and saw how a mother wiped a soiled child with the edge of freshly baked bread and at the same time refused food to the wanderer. God got angry, ascended to heaven and deprived people of bread. The earth became like stone, the rivers dried up, the grass withered. Hunger has set in. Then the cat and dog went to God to ask for bread. He took pity and allocated a small ear on a long stem for the cat and dog's share. God made it so that summer began to occupy only half of the year. Winter is for people, and summer is for animals. When people baked fresh bread, they gave the first piece to cats and dogs. Now tell me, what does the legend teach?
Educator: guys, guess the riddle, “a house grew up in a field, the house is full of grain” (ear of grain). Here is the spikelet as our guest today, let’s tell you what we know about it. Where does the spikelet grow? What plants still grow in the field that have spikelets?
Children: wheat, rye, barley.
Educator: guys, let's look at the picture showing a wheat field. What's on the spikelet?
Children: grains (the teacher demonstrates a natural ear of wheat)
A grain has fallen into the ground (children crouch),
It began to germinate in the sun (arms above head).
The rain watered the ground, and the sprout grew (the children get up slowly).
He was drawn to the light and warmth, and turned into a handsome man.
Educator: children, let's sit down at the table and try to draw a wheat field (first we draw a stalk, and then blot the bristles of the brush.
