If your child still doesn’t know anything about the inhabitants of the garden, then, apparently, it’s time to introduce him to them. Exploring the variety of sizes, colors and shapes of fruits and vegetables is best done through play. And if previously kids saw them only in the form of purees and salads, now, with the help of imagination and our section, you can make a beautiful souvenir or funny toy from any carrot or potato. And although such a work of art will not serve you for long, it is nevertheless worth it.

Such classes are good because they can be carried out not only in kindergarten under the supervision of professional teachers, but also at home under the supervision of mother or other adults. Children simply adore this pastime and can’t wait to see the annual “harvest” of useful and tasty materials for their crafts.

But in addition to various vegetables, be sure to stock up on auxiliary material in advance that will help secure parts of some vegetable character. These can be toothpicks, leaves, sticks, feathers and twigs.

Even if your baby does not immediately master the technique of such crafts, do not rush to throw everything out of sight. Be patient, help your child, tell him what he is doing wrong. Do them together with your child, since a living example is the best thing that can help your baby master this labor-intensive process.

Autumn is a wonderful and sad time: nature says goodbye to warmth and sunny mood. But don’t rush to miss the passing summer. The gifts of autumn will delight you with their exquisite and unique taste, bright colors and indescribable aroma. Children will also be able to make crafts from vegetables and fruits for an exhibition at school with their own hands. Dear mothers! Get ready to create with your children, and our step-by-step instructions will help you create funny fairy tale and cartoon characters based on ordinary vegetables and fruits.

What kind of craft to make from vegetables and fruits for the exhibition “Gifts of Autumn”

Exhibitions and fairs, traditionally held in schools, are a reason for children to rejoice, admiring the creations of others, and a “headache” for mothers who spend the evenings, and sometimes nights, perfecting children’s masterpieces for the competition. In order to have time to complete your plans and purchase the necessary things - from natural materials to cardboard - discuss with your child in advance the idea of ​​making handicrafts from vegetables and fruits for an exhibition at school.

You will find a rich selection of plots and characters in printed children's educational magazines and online publications on children's creativity. Free channels on YouTube on handicrafts will tell you how to beautifully design a craft, helping the child (and mother) understand the intricacies of the craft. The theme of the “Gifts of Autumn” exhibitions is multifaceted: popular cartoon characters, fairy-tale characters, animals, birds are cheerfully placed in autumn meadows in the middle of a fairy-tale forest.

For crafts you will need: vegetables; fruits; natural materials; traditional glue and scissors for needlewomen; varnish to preserve and preserve the craft; various textures and quality paper; cardboard; plasticine. Here is a forest beauty - a “nut” squirrel is storing up supplies for the winter, somewhere a “pineapple” eagle owl is hooting at a bitch, a “carrot” horse is carrying a pumpkin carriage with Cinderella, “potato” Cheburashka is happily playing with the onion boy Cipollino, and “lemon” » The Golden Fish makes your deepest wishes come true.

Crafts in honor of All Saints' Day - Halloween look bold and stylish. Pumpkin - the queen of the vegetable garden - is certainly present in all sorts of forms: as a vase for a maple bouquet of “roses”; like a magic lantern that drives away evil spirits; like an exquisite carriage or ship for travelers. A sketch would not be complete without a black cat and a funny witch in a pointed hat.

“Hedgehog” made from pear and grapes

Hedgehogs, although nice, kind creatures, are still very prickly. Playing with them is very problematic, but these are cute, affectionate and not at all prickly babies, for whom you will need pears and grapes that are not only funny, but also edible. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to prepare these pear and grape crafts for a school exhibition with your own hands:

1. Take a large plate and garnish with lettuce leaves, creating a forest setting.
2. Cut each pear in half, placing the cut on a plate.
3. Prepare the “grape thorns”: cut toothpicks in half, sand the uneven edges. “Dress” the grapes on the halves of the sticks so that the sharp edge of the toothpicks remains free.
4. Inject soft needles, leaving space for the head.
5. For the eyes of the “Hedgehog” craft for a school exhibition, elderberries, chokeberries or peppercorns are suitable.

• matches;
• peppercorns for eyes – 2 pcs.

4. A long thin carrot will serve as a neck for the DIY “Giraffe” craft.
5. All that remains is to connect the parts using toothpicks.
6. Cut off half of the match, leaving the part with the sulfur head for the horns. Gently push into carrots or potatoes.
7. For the eyes, use pepper or acrylic paints. Don’t forget to draw beautiful spots with them. Leave the craft to dry and feel free to bring it to the school exhibition!

"Caterpillar" made from apples

Autumn fruits are an ideal option for creating unusual crafts. Juicy, ripe, aromatic apples will be an excellent basis for the miracle masterpiece “Caterpillar”. You will need 5-6 apples of approximately the same size, toothpicks for fastening, 1 carrot, several rowan berries, a grape, and a flower for decoration.

1. Cut the carrots into thin – no more than 5 mm thick – rings.

In this article I have collected the most complete collection of the cutest crafts, with a theme suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn competitions at school are often organized on the theme of crafts made from vegetables (and not just from chestnuts and cones). It happens very often that that your child did not immediately tell you about the competition, often you will only find out about the craft by Monday on Sunday evening. And therefore, it is important to quickly EVALUATE the contents of your pantry and FIND an idea in the depths of the Internet that will suit your vegetable household stock.

That is why I decided to combine in one article all types of vegetables and fruits who can take part in creating crafts for the garden and school. You don't have to sift through heaps of Internet pages. Here you will find all ideas for children's crafts- all in one article.

CRAFTS FROM VEGETABLES.

We'll start with vegetable children's crafts... and then we'll move on to sweet fruit sculptures. You will see that you can make a chipmunk out of an ordinary onion. And cut roses from radishes, which will bloom on their own if you put them in a glass of water. What am I telling you... now you will see everything for yourself.

Crafts FROM ONION for school and garden.

You can make many interesting sculptures from vegetables as well as from fruits. Here are the onion chickens. We take the young onion out of the garden right along with the stem, and cut the stem-stem into feathers - we move them apart, this “broom” we place on a carrot base post.

And here is another craft FROM RED ONION. Chipmunk with white stripes and fluffy tail from onion feathers. I'll tell you in detail how to make it yourself...

Take two red onions suitable size and shape (it is better to take fresh bulbs, straight from the garden - they are then even in color and elastic). And we immediately make white stripes on them - to do this, you need to cut the top skin of the onion with a blade and then carefully remove it (like shavings) so that you get a white “bald patch” in this place.

Forming a little body- take a long wooden skewer or toothpick and stick it into the belly bulb in the area of ​​the future neck. And stick an onion head onto the protruding end.

Making a tail- bend the green feathers of the onion into the shape of a tail, the lower part of the tail tie with thread or rubber band in a bundle.. And in a saucepan cook sugar syrup(3 tablespoons of sugar + half a teaspoon of water) - when the sugar melts and boils, coat the onion feathers with this sticky sweet glue (so that they stick together into a single tail) - dry it all. And then we pierce the lower and middle part of the tail-bun with toothpicks and stick it into the back of the onion-butt.

Paws- these are cuts on the onion-tummy. To make the paws detach and protrude from the tummy, you can place pieces of plasticine under them. Ears These are small slices from another onion - we stick them into the slits on the chipmunk’s head. Eyes- these are olives (you can use raisins, or pieces of black eggplant skin). The tendrils are also white cuts on the colored skin of the onion.

You can paste over a rectangular box (of tea or cookies) with onion feathers and make it from such a blank VEGETABLE RECORDER... or RADIO. Vegetable buttons are pricked with toothpicks or glued to sugar syrup (see recipe in Onion Chipmunk).

PUMPKIN CRAFTS

flesh carving.

Crafts from PUMPKIN PUMP . Even pumpkin pulp can become a source of beautiful crafts. The pumpkin is soft enough to cut out whatever your heart desires. For example, these majestic pink flamingos.

Birds can also be cut out from regular CARROTS. In the photo below we see how a man creates his masterpieces right on the street.

You can make a simple sculpture from the whole side of a pumpkin - for example, the face of a donkey.

Pumpkins are a very interesting product for creativity. You can talk about it for a long time and with photo examples. That’s why I’ve collected a lot of different pumpkin crafts in a special article.

Crafts from radish vegetable

white and pink.

From WHITE RADISH You can also cut out beautiful parrots. White radish - resembles a huge white carrot. It can be cut perfectly with a knife into any shape. And the wings don’t have to be made from radishes either. You can take hard stalks from BEIJING CABBAGE. A beautiful and simple vegetable craft for kindergarten and school. The jury will really like it.

And here is a craft made from red radishes... Also a very cute family of pink birds in a nest made of tops, pods or onion feathers.

And a gorgeous bouquet of vegetable roses. Here are photo instructions on how to do it. We cut the radishes with a knife into shavings - in a checkerboard pattern (like cabbage leaves on a stalk). Then we put such a cut radish in water - and under the influence of water it swells and opens its petals. We string the buds onto wooden skewers - and so that the stems are green, we insert each skewer inside an onion feather.

FLOWERS FROM VEGETABLES

crafts-bouquets for the garden and school.

And below we see how flowers are created from vegetables and fruits. Oval flowers with a halo of narrow petals (also from radishes), orange buds with a berry in the middle (from tangerines). Palms made from bell peppers and a carrot trunk, or a skewer trunk and grapes strung on it.

Here's an idea on how to create lush tulips from sweet peppers. Or delicate white daisies made from thinly sliced ​​white mini pumpkins (with a yellow carrot center). An excellent craft for children who are bored at the dacha.

And here is a way to make ASTRA from the stalk of Chinese cabbage. If you add rose flowers from red cabbage to such a Beijing aster, you get an elegant composition for an exhibition at school or kindergarten.

Crafts from Zucchini and other vegetables.

Here is a penguin bird from ZUCCHINI - with a sweet red pepper bow and orange eyes. It’s very easy and accessible to make with your own hands, even for children.

And here is another bird with a tomato head and a green crest and green pepper wings. The belly is a white zucchini.

You can make human or animal heads from squash crops.

If the fruit has a pointed shape, then you can play it like the face of a puppy or mouse.

You can also make a sculptural dragon craft from zucchini halves. But this is a real challenge to our creativity. The most important thing here is the head - if you get the muzzle, then you can continue and make the body.

Using the same principle, you can create similar composite sculptures from oranges.

BLACK EGGPLANT

vegetable crafts for the garden.

The black color of the eggplant tells us the creation of black and white animals that live on our planet - and these are ZEBRAS, WHALES, PENGUINS, AND KOALAS. (I didn’t find koalas among the photos of crafts – but it’s a good idea).

Eggplant can act as an insert element in crafts made from other vegetables (see photo below with a rooster and monkey).

Crafts from cabbage and other vegetables.

Cauliflower is an interesting material in its structure. Its bizarre shapes themselves suggest the theme of vegetable sculptures. These are, of course, sheep, polar bears, poodles and other furry animals.

CRAFTS FROM POTATOES.

Even ordinary potatoes can become an interesting tool for children's creativity. These minions can be made from potatoes - they can be dressed in overalls made from black eggplants. The minions themselves can be painted with yellow gouache paint. Glasses can be cut from round carrots (cut the carrot into a circle and cut a round hole in the circle).

The very shape of the potato can give you an idea for a craft - in the photo above we see that the potato in the shape of panties suggested the idea of ​​​​creating a girl in shorts. You can also look for interesting shapes in a bag of potatoes - for example, in the form of Peppa Pig's head, you very often come across them.
You will find more ideas for potato crafts in a special article on our website

Crafts FROM PEPPERS and other vegetables.

Sweet and hot peppers can be a source of inspiration. Their smooth, shiny shape guarantees the beauty of the final craft. Like this motorbike can be assembled by connecting all the parts with toothpicks (plasticine can be placed inside as an additional fastener for toothpicks). Thread citrus wheels onto toothpicks as well.

Roosters and overseas birds can be made from peppers in a fancy curved shape. You can look for these in a store, or better yet, at the market or at your dacha.

And here crabs and crayfish... They are made from several pepper vegetables. And to be honest, PHOTOSHOP has also WORKED here (they removed what was unnecessary and added what was not needed) - but the idea is still worth trying to implement it for real.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, everything is fair. No photoshop – only the skillful hands of a master and the eye of an artist. Bean pods (whiskers and horns), corn stalks (ears and tail), apple (for the muzzle), carrots (paws and spinal teeth), toothpicks (claws and fasteners).

It is important to be able to look at fruits and vegetables this way an artist's eye, squint, blur your eyes and suddenly, in this foggy haze, see a future sculpture in a pile of vegetables.

CRAFTS FROM CUCUMBERS.

Sculptures for kindergarten are most often animals. Children love animals, and animals love children. This is how nature intended it. Therefore, we will make cute animals from cucumbers. Cucumbers are, of course, GREEN CROCODILES.

Although sea inhabitants (dolphins and sharks) can also be carved from a green greenhouse cucumber. Make fins, gills-cuts, a white neck with a slit of a toothy mouth.

PICTURES FROM VEGETABLES.

But what kind of flat collage crafts can be made from vegetables and fruits. You can take famous paintings by famous artists as an ideological basis. And try to repeat them in your vegetable creativity.

Alon Zaid, an elderly artist, came up with the idea of ​​recreating famous paintings from fruits and vegetables. Here is the quiet Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, The Son of Man by Rene Magritte, the portrait of Dora Maar by Pablo Picasso

Here you go, Mona Lisa, aka Gioconda, by the great master Leonardo Da Vinci.

Here is another famous painting by Pablo Picasso.

You don’t have to repeat the MASTERPIECES of painting from the Hermitage... but come up with your own painting from vegetables.

And also don’t forget that in addition to vegetables, THERE ARE ALSO FRUITS. And they have their own visual capabilities. Its bright colors and interesting cut patterns.

So, since we got to the fruits, let's see what we can do for the garden competition using these fruits.

FRUIT CRAFTS

And now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures. I will show you the easiest crafts to implement with your own hands from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, aruboza peels and melon fruits.

Crafts from pulpy fruits
apples, kiwi, pears, bananas.

Here are some cute childish crafts made from kiwi. To create them, you need to select unripe hard fruits. The cut sections of the slices should be blotted with a paper napkin so that the juice does not bleed through.

But crafts from apples and pears - if you use one whole fruit + a thin slice of the second fruit, you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple cutting you can make a trunk for an elephant. Delicious and fun crafts that you can make with your kids and then eat.

And here are crafts made from juicy pears. To create such birds, we choose harder varieties.

And to prevent the cut area without the peel from darkening, you need to lubricate it with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

And if you are making a craft from a pear, without the peel, and even with finely chopped feathers (as in the photo of the birds below), then it is better to protect such a craft so that it does not darken, and so that the “feathers” do not fall out and wrinkle. We use gelatin for protection. Pour gelatin powder with water. When it swells, heat it until it dissolves (but do not bring it to a boil!!!). And we grease our entire craft with this warm gelatin syrup. It will become shiny and will look fresh for a long time, nothing will darken or wither. Only important— we make the gelatin solution for such a lubricant 2 times thicker than jelly. That is, we read the instructions on the package and pour 2 times more powder into 2 times less water.

Crafts from bright red apples are made using exactly the same principle. Treat white sections with lemon juice(so as not to turn black) and can also be greased with gelatin syrup (so as not to wither and wrinkle).

Can be done crab craft from apple slices - also paint it in beet juice so that it is red, or grease it with lemon juice so that it remains white (does not rust).

You can make it from a green apple hummingbird. A great little fruit craft for kids.

You can make pots with flowers from the tops of large apples - cut the bald spots of the petals into them - you will get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Children's crafts from bananas.

Of course you need to make minions out of bananas. This is clear to everyone. Bananas are yellow, so are minions. You can dress them in overalls made of cucumbers. You can make a whole family for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

You can make an octopus out of a banana. Add citrus fish and red pepper crab to it (see photo below in this article). And make a whole underwater kingdom out of vegetables and fruits.

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

And here is the idea of ​​dachshund puppies - with skinned ears and green tails. The eyes are cut out and the pupils are inserted from black paper.

CITRUS CRAFTS

along with helping vegetables.

In lemons, you can play with their shaped feature - a POINTED NOSE. And make these cute little mice out of lemon (you just need to cut off their side so that the mouse lies on its tummy. Cut round ears from the peel of the cut lemon tummy. Cut a lemon on the top of the little mouse’s head and insert an ear into the cut. Cut a thin tail from the scraps of skin. And honey A children's craft for a competition in the garden or school is ready. By the way, you can use a piece of pumpkin. make MOUSE CHEESE and even cut round holes in it.

If you cut a lemon or orange peel along the contours we need - and then peel it off. We get a curly “bald patch” on the orange (as in the photo with crafts below). This citrus “bald patch” can serve as a white belly for two chickens or penguins (in the right photo below).

From oranges you can make a cat (with cut stripes on the back and tail) and a bear cub with tangerine ears.

All parts are pinned onto toothpicks and stuck into the orange pulp.

Citrus peels cut perfectly into any flat shapes (like cardboard). Therefore, it can be used to carve complex carved shapes of fish fins and tails. Beautiful crafts in underwater style, add crabs made from apples, starfish from orange peels.

Citrus fruits can be used in crafts as an addition to a sculpture made from vegetables (for example, in the form of a wing for a parrot made from tomatoes and onions). Or the entire sculpture can be made from oranges cut into round shapes (as in the photo with the lion below).

If you take a rectangular cardboard box and cover it with orange peel, you will get the basis for creating a camera.

PINEAPPLE CRAFTS

and other fruits and vegetables.

Here are interesting ideas for those who don’t mind sacrificing pineapple for the sake of children’s creativity. A small melon can become the head of an owl - we make eyes from round radishes and olives, winged eyebrows from the peel of black eggplants, yellow paws from lemon halves.

From half a pineapple you can make a crocodile with eyes (radishes and olives) and paws (kiwi). Of course, such a crocodile requires a lot of pineapple sides. It’s not my salary to get carried away with this - but if you don’t have financial problems, then choose this cutie - the pineapple crocodile will definitely not remain in a modest shadow at the school exhibition.

Or you can make a turtle from one half of a pineapple - and cut the legs and head from the pulp of a pumpkin, carrot, potato or other vegetable or fruit. A simple and beautiful children's craft made from vegetables.

And here is a pineapple hedgehog. To be honest, this is most likely the result of Photoshop, or the very painstaking work of a pineapple pulp cutter - you need to cut the peel off the side of the pineapple, then shape the pulp into the shape of the legs and head. Then use toothpicks to secure the stem comb to the hedgehog.

But the idea with a parrot bird is suitable if you find a pineapple with a long tail. We cut it from the pineapple by pushing the knife deeper into its pulp so that the tail is cut off along with the yellow center. We stick a red pepper nose and olive eyes into the parrot's head and attach it to a wooden skewer to its habitat.

Crafts from WATERMELON RIDS.

You can make many crafts from watermelon. We are all familiar with the masterpieces of watermelon rind carving. Here I will not offer complex sculptural tricks. We are simple parents - we are not that talented - we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most accessible crafts made from watermelon rind to the common man.

Here's a turtle The craft is easy to do with your own hands - Cut the watermelon so as to remove the side round part (this will be the shell) - remove the pulp so as not to interfere. On this oval part we draw future patterns with a felt-tip pen, and then we cut all the contours with a knife - we get a carved pattern of the shell. All that remains is to cut out the paws and head from other pieces of crust - attach all this with toothpicks to the bottom of the shell.

And here are the gaping mouths of sharks and frogs. We also draw future cuts on the watermelon. Cutting a segment of watermelon - we get a mouth cutout. We remove all the pulp from inside with a spoon and eat it. And then with the empty watermelon belly we do what we need - either a frog or a shark . Shark teeth are very easy to make– first, we make a shallow cut-groove along the edge of the mouth (to the depth of the green layer). Then we cut off the thin green skin along this groove and leave the thick white skin. From this remaining white part we form teeth - we simply cut out and throw out triangular segments from it - and we get triangular remains - teeth. We make a slot - insert the fin into it - make a chipped indentation for the eyes and insert black olives.

And the frog doesn’t need teeth - the eyes are made from halves of a green lime and two cherries on toothpicks.

Here is an example of how you can make a cartoon character out of a watermelon. In the first case (minion), we put a large yellow POMELO fruit inside the green watermelon overalls.

But here are crafts for boys made from oblong watermelons - watermelon ships and a submarine. We don’t sell such oval watermelons, but you can try to make similar crafts from round ones.

Or use an oval melon. Sails made of orange peels.

You can make a chicken out of an orange and put it in a small melon like a shell. A rabbit with ears, a frog, or create your own character.

But crafts made from melon are more complicated - an owl with lettuce leaves and a watermelon belly. Fish with carved scales and fins.

Here are some ideas for crafts made from vegetables for an exhibition in the garden or school. I hope you have found a craft that suits your needs here and will be happy to make it with your children. What you do with your own hands heals the soul. It seems to me that it doesn’t hurt for every person to take a break from watching TV and please their soul and their children a little.

Doing something together, amicably, without arguing or quarreling in the process is another day that you will remember with warmth years later. It's moments like these that are remembered.... and not those when the boss handed you a certificate... Everything vain fades from memory over the years... but the present takes root and remains a bright picture in old age. Let's collect such pictures - in our hearts.

Let's create such moments for our children - let them have something to remember about their childhood. After all, what do we remember about our childhood years? Only these are the days when dad and mom suddenly forgot about their adult affairs and spent time in stupid and useless, but so fun and necessary, fun with the children.

Happy vegetable gardening.
