Greetings, my dears! You and I fully plunged into the autumn worries: we made preservation for the winter (compotes, jams, pickles). But since September 1, new concerns have come to all homes where there are children. They are associated with kindergarten and school. And I myself know firsthand how unexpected it is to always hear from a teacher or teacher that you need to bring an autumn craft made from vegetables or fruits. Because you need to take part in an exhibition on the theme "Autumn". And the care of moms and dads begins. They think what to do in order to quickly, beautifully and simply. Vegetables and fruits are taken from the cabinets. Each fruit is carefully selected, and the head of the family walks through the neighbors or just looks for a suitable idea on the Internet. In general, there is clearly no need to get bored.

I want to make this task easier for parents and did large selection photos different ideas and handicrafts from fruits. There are easier options, but there are also more complex ones. When you need to collect all your neatness to make it beautiful. But the chance to get some kind of nomination immediately grows.

Thanks in advance to all parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters who share their work on social networks and the Internet in general. Thanks to your desire to show off your co-creation on one of your sleepless nights, other parents get a lot of new ideas for their crafts.

Let's look at the options for crafts by type of vegetables. There are a lot of ideas and often, in addition to the fruit itself, you need to take a wire, a toothpick, paper or cloth. You can create a separate character in a fairy tale, or you can make a whole composition.

Pumpkin crafts

The easiest way is to make a recognizable character from cartoons and fairy tales. And often only paint is needed for this. You can also print some elements on a printer and stick on the character.

For your attention, a cute minion. Toothpicks are stuck on the top of the head, and instead of handles there is a string.

The Mouse family also looks very memorable. The ears are made of colored cardboard. And stuck into a pumpkin with skewers for kebabs. These are available at most hardware stores. You can use any thick paints. But, if your craft will delight children on the street. Then cover it with varnish.

The boys come in to make one of these ninja turtle. I think that dad will not refuse to help his son in this venture.

Simple cute faces that somehow remind me of the Scarecrow from the fairy tale about the Emerald City.

The creators of the cartoon "Smeshariki" helped us, parents, a lot. After all, there are as many as ten round characters. They can all be made from vegetables: potatoes, pumpkin or cabbage.

Here is Kopatych in a hat with autumn leaves.

Another cute little face with sad eyes. Everything additional details can be made from plasticine or paper. And you can stick them on double-sided tape. A sunflower flower, artificial and live grass are used to decorate the hat.

By the way, you can use felt for the sides of the hat, eyes and nose.

I also found this wise owl interesting. Instead of eyes, you can use small squash or heads of garlic.

To make the fake last longer, remove the pulp with seeds from it.

More character options. I think that making them will take no more than an hour of parenting time.

Unusual ideas of black cats, mice and hares also spur the imagination. Additional tools are not needed here at all, even a knife is not always needed.

These are great examples for developing children's imaginations. How to look at an ordinary product and see an animal in it.

If you try a little longer, then you can sculpt the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

Now let's move away from the heroes, and move on to the compositions. This is how very beautiful houses are made from pumpkins.

These crafts take longer, but you can make a fabulous hobbit's hole.

And in this house there are creatures made of bulbs.

For the happy parents of daughters, there is an idea that does not depend on time - this is a carriage for Cinderella.

You can take absolutely everything for decoration: beads, leaves, berries and ribbons.

Another composition option is to make a basket or vase for other fruits and flowers. In autumn, there are a lot of different buds: asters, dahlias, gladioli, santabrins and others. Let's make an autumn bouquet and place it in a pumpkin vase.

Use ranetki, rowan and different colors leaves. A bouquet of red, yellow, green and orange leaves will look so beautiful.

I could not pass by this honey lover. I think he looks a lot like Winnie the Pooh.

Well, with a preschool child, you can make a tortoise Tortilla from the tale of Pinocchio. You can also use assorted vegetables: carrots and potatoes. Moreover, they are attached so that all environments are covered, which means that the darkened pulp will not be visible and the craft will remain bright and beautiful for a long time.

You can also make a duck. Sometimes the very shape of the vegetable reminds us of something. The main thing is to understand what exactly))

Look, nature has done everything for us. The main thing is to give the correct features and in front of you is already a beautiful goose with rowan berry beads.

Zucchini Ideas

You can combine vegetables. Let's say you take a zucchini and a small pumpkin. And from these vegetables, parents were able to come up with such snails.

You make the form, and let the child decorate the "shell", make horns and eyes. So, there is work for everyone.

What about such a simple but very interesting pig?

Or here's another Daddy Pig. The main thing is that he stay on his short legs.

Another version of a pig with ears and a tail made of paper. And instead of a spout, they attached a half from a Kinder egg.

Found a couple of zucchini whale ideas. See how simple and without unnecessary details. The fins and tail are made from pea pods, and instead of a fountain of water, you can attach a stem of parsley or dill.

And you can cut it all out of cardboard, as the authors of this kitten did.

For boys, there are ideas for airplanes and ships. By the way, a similar airplane can be made from a cucumber.

And in the place of the pilot, put the crocodile Gena. This craft amazed me a little with its red beetroot star. Oh, and these parents are inventors!

Here Gena is from zucchini, not cucumber. And next to it is a pumpkin Cheburashka and a squash tree. And tangerines complete the plot. How can we do without them, if we recreate a fairy tale?

How do you like the ship? I think that the child will not want to take him to the kindergarten, but will start playing corsairs at home. Cabbage sails always catch the wind, and the carrot rudder never goes off course.

Another idea with Smeshariki, who went on a trip on zucchini cars.

You can send such a donkey to an exhibition. He is carrying a basket full of autumn fruits.

My daughter loves Olaf the cheerful snowman. Apparently, he won the hearts of many girls, since his parents sculpt from a vegetable marrow. And how it looks like the original, just a sight for sore eyes.

Earlier in the kindergarten we made a penguin. But you can repeat it with vegetables.

You can do simple things that look like fabulous. For example, such shoes or sandals.

Oh, and here the mother clearly did her best and reproduced those happy days when her baby was still sleeping in the crib.

Idea with a bunch of cabbage. With the right approach, it turned out to be a duck.

Now let's move on to the blue ones, from which you can make all the ideas that were shown above.

Eggplant Ideas

The color of the eggplant immediately gives a certain direction to the fantasy. And I met so many varieties of whales, penguins from this vegetable.

See how it looks like real birds. They just conveyed the habits of these creatures correctly.

Eggplant and potato friends.

Another idea of ​​a penguin from the cartoon "Madagascar". The same fearless gaze and disobedience to fate.

If you own the art of carving (carving vegetables), then you can safely carve such a zebra. An important condition here will be the availability of special tools that easily cut the skin and have narrow sharp blades.

The Tsar Kit is sailing on the sea. And your baby will really like it.

Carrots are often used to make parts for other crafts. But it can present interesting forms by itself. How do you like the giraffe with match horns? Very cute.

Or a horse with an onion mane. All parts are kept on toothpicks.

The muzzle can be made from potatoes, peppers, or carrots.

Even champignon mushrooms can serve as a muzzle for a cute animal.

It is a pity that we have already eaten all our cauliflower, having cooked it.

From corn

An ear of corn in September costs 20 rubles. I think that it can turn out to be a very budgetary craft. So what can you do? Well, for example, a rocket.

Or a horse grazing on a bow.

Lovely bunny. I'm sorry for the quality of the photo, but I really liked the idea.

And how do you like minions in denim sundresses? In my opinion, it turned out very funny.

And such an animal? He looks a lot like a squirrel.

Only now you need to make sure that the corn is fresh, otherwise the grains may fall out and the craft will not be so neat.

From potatoes

Piglets made from tubers and plasticine are very similar to real pigs.

And if there is no time at all, but there is a healthy sense of humor. Make such a family. Indeed, the main thing is the idea and presentation, it is the freshness and uniqueness of the craft that fascinates.

The bizarre shapes of the tubers can be very reminiscent of some kind of animal. For example, if you combine two potatoes, you can get such a dog.

Or a heroic horse.

I also found such a funny hippo.

By the way, such crafts can be sent not only to the exhibition, but also left for home decor.

Another idea with a magic bowl. The photos show artificial fruits, but you can also use fresh counterparts.

Agree, such a craft deserves attention.

Queens of autumn

I think that when there is very little time, you can take an ordinary doll as a basis and decorate it on autumn theme... Add berries and leaves, fruits and flowers.

Make a whole composition After all, the doll will personify Autumn itself.

A fun idea of ​​queens with leaf crowns and watermelon dresses.

My dear ones, but that's not all. Indeed, the fantasies of parents can simply be envied.

Lemon mouse master class in kindergarten

It is difficult for young children to come up with compositions with a lot of decorations and details. I want to suggest that you make a little yellow mouse out of lemon with your baby.

Only mom works with sharp objects. And a three-year-old baby can also insert parts into the slots.

We need:

• lemon,
• 2 inflorescences of a carnation,
• wire or thick thread.

To begin with, cut off a quarter of the lemon lengthwise. This is how we made the base so that the mouse body does not fall. From a small part, we cut off the zest so that we have enough for small ears and a tail.

From one edge of the lemon, where we have a sharp tip, stick in a clove. She acts as our eyes.

We make a cut in the peel and insert the ears. Attach the tail to the body with a toothpick.

Antennae can be made with wire, simply by piercing through the face. Or you can make them from thread by sewing the fruit with a needle.

That's the whole thing. Fast and fun.

The very technique of decorating dishes appeared in Japan and is called carving - artistic carving on vegetables. It is better to use a special Thai knife, but if there is none, you can take any sharp and with a thin blade. Additional materials may be needed, such as paper, paints, toothpicks, skewers, pins, beads, and others. In addition to simple figures, various compositions or whole pictures are constructed from vegetables.

Many modern housewives want not only to prepare a delicious dish, but also to present it in original form, decorating with beautiful cuts, funny figurines of animals, butterflies or birds, making a real masterpiece out of food. Above in the photo - do-it-yourself figurines from vegetables.

Beauty all year round

Summer is the time to experiment by making figures from vegetables with your own hands. Every autumn, kindergartens and schools hold all kinds of exhibitions, contests for the best crafts created with the help of natural materials... Children, and with them their parents, make beautiful, original figures with their own hands. Various fruits, berries, vegetables, beautiful leaves, mushrooms are suitable for this. Winter is rich holidays and a beautifully decorated table is the pride of any hostess these days. In the spring you want so much more sun and bright colors, colorful dishes with funny figures of vegetables will saturate with vitamins and positive.

Pros and cons of vegetable decorations

Having shown imagination, you can come up with crafts for different ages: suitable for the youngest children, works that can be done by a schoolboy and compositions performed with the help of adults. The originality of these crafts is that they are made of unusual material, because it is more customary to use vegetables for their intended purpose - for food. The downside is that carved figures from vegetables do not please the eye for long, do not persist and quickly lose their appearance. But on the other hand, they create a festive mood at the table, delighting both children and adults.

To build such figures, you need a sharp knife, so the child should be constantly under the supervision of an adult during work. In most figurines, you will need to connect individual parts of the product together. It is best to use simple toothpicks or matches for this. Now about the crafts themselves: how to make figures from vegetables, from the simplest to the more difficult to make.

Octopus

Such a guest from the underwater kingdom guards the vegetables, spreading their tentacles all over the dish. You can decorate any dish with an original octopus. Making it is as easy as shelling pears and one olive. Cut off the bottom third from the pepper, remove the seeds, set the top part in the middle of the plate with the cut down. Cut the remaining third in half and cut into long strips. Arrange the straws around the pepper in a plate so that it resembles tentacles. Cut the olive into rings and use yogurt to attach the two rings to the pepper. A funny and useful seabed dweller is ready!

Such an octopus can settle in a plate of cottage cheese. The kid will definitely want to try it, because the plate is guarded by a sea creature.

Autumn vegetable for decoration

Pumpkin can be used to make many different crafts. This extremely useful vegetable can serve as a wonderful decor for a country house, balcony or garden plot. What horror stories are not cut out of him for the annual celebration of Halloween! Backlit from the inside, the laughing toothy monsters look amazingly impressive.

But let's try to build a kind little owlet to please the eye and remind you of summer. To make a pumpkin owlet, you will need a round or oval pumpkin, several squash, a piece of eggplant and skewers for fastening. Instead of eyes, small patissons are attached to the figure; for this, they should be strung on a skewer and thrust into the right place. And instead of a beak, you can attach a small eggplant triangle.

Penguins

These birds made from eggplant look very funny. Such figures from vegetables, the photo of which is given below, can even be made by a baby, of course, in the presence of an adult. To create a penguin, you should take the eggplant itself and the knife itself. To make penguin eyes, you can use beads and pins to attach them.

First, you should cut the vegetable into two equal parts. Each of them will be an independent penguin. Then you need two beads and attach in place of the eyes. All that remains is to make the wings. Mark the shape of the wings on the sides of the penguin and then cut it out with a knife and move it slightly away from the body.

You can try to build another penguin, other vegetables will come in handy for him. You should take olives, a few carrots and cottage cheese. Cut out the penguin's legs and nose from the carrots, and build the head and wings from the olives.

Figurine of a cat

Well, how not to admire such a funny kitten from an ordinary onion!

To make it, it is enough to choose a suitable onion, peel it and cut the ears with a sharp knife. Since all our figures are kind, the cat must smile, opening sharp teeth. Squinting eyes and a smile can be prepared in advance and glued to the onion, or you can build it from different pieces of vegetables. And of course, the most important thing for a cat is a mustache. They should be funny, like our cat.

Watermelon craft

Carving figurines from vegetables is fun creative activity... For example, you can make a toothy shark for a festive table and please the children with an original and delicious dessert.

To do this, you need to choose the base of the shark - the watermelon itself. Masterfully carved mouth with huge teeth will delight any company. All that remains is to attach the eyes of the fish and put figuratively cut pieces of vegetables and fruits into the mouth. Beautifully served on a platter - and you can receive praise for originality from the guests.

Lamb

Vegetable and cauliflower figurines are very original. From it, for example, you can very easily make a pretty cute lamb.

To create it, you will need more mushrooms and simple toothpicks, with which you will need to attach your eyes. On a plate, preferably in a contrasting color, lay out a lush inflorescence of cauliflower - this will be the body of a lamb. Cut off the cap from the mushroom (you can use pickled mushrooms) - it will be the head of the future lamb. We fix the head to the body with toothpicks. Don't forget about the ears and eyes. We cut out the ears from the mushroom, and the eyes are any small berries. We fasten all parts of the body with toothpicks. Here is such a funny sheep.

Carrot rose

Decorations of this kind have always been popular when decorating festive dishes. Although these are not the simplest figures of vegetables, they look very beautiful in any dish. Elegant carrot roses are an original decoration for salads and snacks. Or place edible flowers in a glass of water, combining carrot roses with flowers from other vegetables.

To build a rose, you will need: carrots, toothpicks, a sharp knife, a container of water, a sprig of herbs, salt.

Technique of execution:

1. For starters, cut the peeled medium-sized carrots into slices as thin as possible.
2. Lightly sprinkle the future carrot petals with salt, this will give them flexibility when making a bud.
3. Bend each petal in half.
4. Gently twist the first petal in the form of a cone and fix with two toothpicks - pierce it on both sides to get two perpendicular axes.
5. Then take the next petal and plant it on the tips of the toothpicks. Continue assembling the rose, planting the petals one by one. In total, 5-6 thin slices of carrots are useful.
6. Having completely collected the rose, cut off the protruding toothpicks.
7. Bend the rose petals and place it in a container of water for 5 minutes.

With a ready-made rose next to it, a green sprig of mint will look very beautiful.

Rose from potatoes

To make it, you need one large potato.

1. First, we give the potato a round look and outline the core, cutting it off with a wide groove.
2. Then, holding the knife at an angle, make the first petals.
3. So move towards the center, reducing the size of the petals and giving the shape of the bud.
4. Now we cut out large petals, but thin enough. The closer to the edge, the thicker the petals.
5. Remove excess pulp from under the petals.
6. When the flower is ready, cut off the excess pulp from below and correct the irregularities on the rose.

Elephants

Can a kid walk past a plate in which funny elephants are peacefully grazing? They are so cute that they ask you to come closer. It is quite simple to make them, cut out the ears, paws and trunk from the sausages and insert them into the desired cuts. Chop the onion and place it on a platter over clean, dry lettuce leaves. Make cuts on the sausage, put the cut vegetables into them, constructing an elephant. In the place where the trunk will be, make a hole with a toothpick and insert the trunk into it. Instead of elephant ears, legs, and trunk, you can use cabbage and carrots. The work on their manufacture will take very little time, but the baby's pleasure and good appetite will be provided.

Figurines for children's dishes

Vegetables are not only good for vitamins, but they can also help you have a great time and learn something new. There are many options for crafts on this topic, you can make anything from them. What tricks young parents do not go to so that the child can eat healthy and not very favorite food! Cats, dogs, bunnies - all the figures are made of vegetables, just to intrigue the child and persuade him to eat. The essence of all these fantasies boils down to the fact that as soon as the child is interested in playing with food, appetite is immediately detected. Therefore, decorating children's dishes can turn the most ordinary food into an exciting game.

Good afternoon, today we will make crafts from vegetables and fruits. In this article I have collected the most complete collection of the cutest crafts, with a theme suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn contests at school are often held on the topic of vegetable crafts (not just chestnuts and cones). It often happens that that your child did not immediately tell you about the competition, often you will learn about the craft by Monday only on Sunday evening. And therefore, it is important to quickly EVALUATE the contents of your pantry and FIND an idea in the bowels of the Internet that will fit your vegetable stock.

That's why I decided to combine in one article all kinds of vegetables and fruits, who can take part in the creation of crafts for the garden and school. You don't have to browse through heaps of web pages. Here you will find all kid's craft ideas- in one article at once.

Here's what we're going to do today:

• Crafts from cucumber, pepper.
• Crafts for the garden from onions, cabbage and potatoes.
• Crafts and eggplant and zucchini.
• Carved sculptures crafts from carrots and radishes.
• Flat handicrafts-paintings from vegetables and fruits.
• Animal crafts from oranges, kiwi, bananas and lemons.
• Crafts from watermelons, pineapples, and melons.
• And I made a separate article

VEGETABLE CRAFTS.

We'll start with children's vegetable crafts ... and then move on to sweet fruit sculptures. You will see that a chipmunk can be made from a regular bow. And cut roses from radishes, which will bloom themselves if you put them in a glass of water. What am I talking about ... now you will see everything for yourself.

Onion crafts for school and kindergarten.

Many interesting sculptures can be made from vegetables as well as from fruits. Here are the onion chickens. We take out the young onions from the garden right along with the stem, and cut the stem-stem into feathers - push them apart this "whisk" and put them on a post-base made of carrots.

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

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

Shaping the little body- we take a long wooden skewer, or a toothpick - we stick it into the onion-tummy in the area of ​​the future neck. And we stick the onion-head at the protruding end.

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

Paws- these are incisions on the onion-tummy. To detach the legs from the tummy, you can put pieces of plasticine under them. Ears these are small slices-slices from another onion - we stick them into the cuts-slits on the chipmunk's head. Eyes- these are olives (you can raisins, or pieces of black eggplant skin). Antennae are also white cuts on the colored skin of the bulb.

With onion feathers, you can glue a rectangular box (from tea or cookies) and make from such a blank VEGETABLE RECORDER ... or RADIO... Vegetable buttons are pricked with toothpicks or glued to sugar syrup (see the recipe in the onion chipmunk).

PUMPKIN CRAFTS

carving on the pulp.

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

Also birds can be cut from regular CARROT... In the photo below, we see how a person creates his masterpieces, crafts right on the street.

It is possible to make a simple sculpture from the whole side of the pumpkin - for example, the muzzle of a donkey.

Pumpkins are very interesting creative foods. He can talk to him for a long time and with photo examples. Therefore, I have collected many different pumpkin crafts in a special article.

Crafts from vegetable radish

white and pink.

FROM WHITE REDIS you can cut beautiful parrots too. White radish - resembles a huge white carrot. It is perfectly cut with a knife into any shape. And the wings do not have to be made from radish too. You can take hard stalks from Peking cabbage. A beautiful and simple craft from vegetables for kindergarten and school. The jury will love it.

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

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

VEGETABLE FLOWERS

handicrafts-bouquets for a garden and a 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 center-berry (from tangerines). Bell pepper palms and a carrot trunk, or a skewer trunk and grapes strung on it.

And here is the idea of ​​how to create lush tulips from sweet peppers. Or tender white daisies made from thin slices of white mini pumpkin squash (with a yellow center from a slice of carrot). Excellent craft for children who are bored in the country.

And here is a way to make ASTRA from a cabbage stump. If you add rose flowers from red cabbage to such a Peking aster, then you get an elegant composition for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

Crafts from cabbage and other vegetables.

Here is a penguin bird from the ZUKINI ZOOKINI - with a bow of sweet red pepper and orange eyes. It is very simple and affordable to do it yourself, even for children.

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

You can make the heads of men or animals from squash crops.

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

And from the halves of the zucchini, you can fold a sculptural dragon craft. But this is already a real challenge to our creativity. The most important thing here is the head - if you have a muzzle, then you can go on and do the body.

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

BLACK EGGPLANTS

handicrafts from vegetables for the garden.

The black color of eggplant prompts us to create black and white animals that live on our planet - and these are ZEBRAS, WHALES, PENGUINS, AND KOALAS. (I did not find koalas among the photos of crafts - but a good idea).

Eggplant can act as an insert element for crafts made from other vegetables (see the photo below with a rooster and a 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 fluffy animals.

POTATO CRAFTS.

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

The very shape of the potato can tell you the idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bworking - here in the photo above we can 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 the head of Peppa Pig, you very often come across.
You will find more ideas for potato crafts in a special article on our website.

Crafts FROM PEPPER and other vegetables.

Sweet and hot peppers can be a source of inspiration. Their smooth, shiny shape guarantees the beauty of the final craft. Here is such motorbike can be assembled if you connect all the parts with toothpicks (plasticine can be placed inside, as an additional fastener for toothpicks). Also string the citrus wheels on toothpicks.

Roosters and overseas birds can be made from peppers of a fancy curved shape. You can look for these in the store - but better in the market or in the country.

And here crabs and crayfish ... They are made from several vegetable peppers. And to be honest, here I also WORKED THE PHOTOSHOP (removed the unnecessary and completed the unworthy) - but the idea is all the same worth it to really try to implement it.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, everything is fair. No photoshop - just the skillful hands of the master and the eyes of the artist. Bean pods (whiskers and horns), corn cobs (ears and tail), apple (for the muzzle), carrots (paws and spine teeth), toothpicks (claws and fasteners).

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

Handicrafts from cucumbers.

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

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

PAINTINGS FROM VEGETABLES.

But what kind of flat crafts-collages can be made from vegetables and fruits. Famous paintings by famous artists can be taken as an ideological basis. And try to repeat them in your vegetable art.

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

Here you are, Mona Lisa, aka La Gioconda, the great master of Leonardo Da Vinci.

Here is another famous painting by Pablo Picasso.

You don't have to repeat the MASTERPIECES of pictorial art from the Hermitage ... but come up with your own picture of vegetables.

And also do not forget that in addition to vegetables, THERE IS STILL FRUITS. And they have their own visual capabilities. Their bright colours and interesting cut drawings.

So, since we got to the fruits, let's see what can be done for the competition in the garden and from these fruits.

FRUIT CREDITS

Now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures. I will show you the simplest DIY crafts made from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, arubus peels and melon fruits.

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

And here are cute childish kiwi crafts. To create them, you need to choose unripe hard fruits. Slices of slices need to be blotted paper napkin so that the juice does not come out.

But crafts from an apple and pear - if you use one whole fruit + a thin cut of the second fruit, then you can get these interesting crafts(mouse and elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple stalk you get a trunk for an elephant. Delicious and fun crafts to do with your kids and then eat.

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

And so that the cut off place without the peel does not darken, it must be greased with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

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

Exactly the same principle is used to make crafts from bright red apples. We process white sections lemon juice (so as not to turn black) and can also be greased with gelatin syrup (so as not to wilted and not wrinkle).

Can be done craft crab from apple slices - paint it also in beet juice to make it red, or grease it with lemon juice to stay white (not rusty).

Can be made 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 through the bald spots of the petals in it - you will get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Children's crafts from bananas.

Of course, you need to make minions from bananas. Everyone understands this. Bananas are yellow, minions too, and you can wear them in cucumber overalls. A whole family can be made for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

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

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

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

CITRUS CRYSTALS

along with vegetable assistants.

In lemons, you can play with their curly feature - the SHARP SPOKE. And make these cute little mice out of lemon (only you need to cut off their side so that the mouse lies on the tummy. Cut out round ears from the peel of the cut lemon tummy. Cut the lemon on the top of the mouse and insert an ear into the cut. Cut out a thin tail from the skin scraps. And sweetheart children's crafts for a competition in a kindergarten or school are ready. 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 "receding hairline" on an orange (as in the photo with crafts below). This citrus "bald patch" can serve as a white tummy for two chickens or penguins (pictured on the right below).

You can make a cat from oranges (with cut stripes on the back and tail), and a teddy bear with tangerine ears.

All the details are pricked with toothpicks and stuck into the orange pulp.

Citrus peels are perfect for cutting into any flat shapes (like cardboard). Therefore, complex carved forms of fish fins and tails can be cut out of it. Beautiful crafts in underwater style, add apple crabs to them, starfish from the peel of oranges.

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

If you take a rectangular cardboard box - and glue it with orange peel - you get the basis for creating a camera.

PINEAPPLE CRAFT

and other fruits and vegetables.

Here interesting ideas, for those who do not mind donating 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, eyebrows from the peel of black eggplants, yellow paws from half lemon.

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

Or you can make a turtle from one half of a pineapple - and cut the legs and head out of the pulp of a pumpkin, carrots, potatoes or other vegetables or fruits. A simple and beautiful children's craft from vegetables is obtained.

And here is the pineapple hedgehog. To be honest, most likely this is the result of Photoshop, or the very painstaking work of a pineapple pulp carver - you need to cut the peel from the pineapple barrel, then shape the legs and head into the pulp. Then, with toothpicks, fix the stalk comb on the hedgehog.

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

Crafts from WATERMELON BINS.

Many crafts can be made from watermelon. We are all familiar with the masterpieces of watermelon rind carving. Here I will not suggest complex sculptural tricks. We are simple parents - we are not that talented - we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most accessible watermelon rind crafts for an ordinary person.

Such 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 that it does not interfere. On this oval part, draw future patterns with a felt-tip pen, and then cut all the contours with a knife - we get a carved shell pattern. It remains to cut out the paws and head from other pieces of the crust - attach all this with toothpicks to the bottom of the shell.

And here are the gaping jaws of a shark and a frog. We also draw future cuts on the watermelon. Cut off a segment of a watermelon - we get the cut of the mouth... From the inside, remove all the pulp with a spoon - eat it. And then, with an empty watermelon womb, we are already doing what we need - either a frog or a shark . Shark's teeth are very easy to make- first, along the edge of the mouth, we make a shallow incision-groove (to the depth of the green layer). Then along this groove we cut off a thin green skin - and a thick white skin leave. From this remaining white part we form teeth - we simply cut out and discard triangular segments from it - and we get triangular remnants - teeth. We make a slot - we insert a fin into it - we make a chipped indentation for the eyes and insert black olives.

And the frog does not need to make teeth - the eyes are made of halves of green lime and two cherries on toothpicks.

And here is an example of how you can make a cartoon hero from a watermelon. In the first case (mignon), put a large yellow SWEET fruit inside the green watermelon overalls.

But crafts for boys from elongated watermelons - watermelon ships and a submarine. We do not sell such oval watermelons, but you can try to make similar crafts from a round one.

Or use an oval melon. Orange peel sails.

You can make a chicken out of an orange and stuff it into a melon as small as a shell. A rabbit with ears, a frog-frog or create your own character.

But crafts made from melons are more complicated - an owl with lettuce leaves and a watermelon belly. A fish with carvings in the form of scales and fins.

These are the ideas for crafts from vegetables for an exhibition in a garden or school. I hope you have found a suitable craft for yourself here and will gladly make it with your children. What is done with your own hands heals the soul. It seems to me that every person does not bother to tear himself away from watching TV and please his soul and his children a little.

To do something together, in a friendly manner, not to quarrel, and not to quarrel in the process - this is another day that you will remember with warmth years later. These are the moments that are remembered... and not the ones when the chef handed you a certificate ... All vain things fade from memory over the years ... but the present takes root and remains a vivid 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 ourselves remember about our childhood? Only these are the days when dad and mom suddenly forgot about their adult affairs and spent time in stupid and useless, but so funny and necessary, amusements with the children.

Good luck with your vegetable creativity.

Would need:

• 3 pcs. - bell peppers
• 3 pcs. - fresh cucumber
• 3 pcs. - carrots
• Tomatoes
• Plastic sticks

Master class - crafts from vegetables

We take the fruit of the pepper and cut off the barrel from it. We cut out all the insides along with the seeds.

We will have 3 carriages of peeled peppers. There is a conversation between mom and daughter about the color of the peppers: yellow, red, orange. The girl repeats the name of the color.

Each trailer will have 4 cucumber and carrot wheels. Mom cuts wheels from a cucumber, and the girl asks for a sniff and to recognize the smell of a cucumber and says: Smells delicious!

Chopped cucumber and carrot wheels are stacked in separate cups. The girl and her mother are counting the wheels: 12 from cucumber and 12 from carrots.

Then mom says: now we will make wheels: we take a stick and pierce the wheel first from carrots, and then from cucumber.

The girl repeats with interest all the sequential actions after her mother.

Mom says: All the wheels are put on sticks and now they need to be connected to the trailers. Look, the girl is holding the tomatoes and begins to think: How will they go in the trailer, which she hasn’t seen yet?

Daughters wondering: How will it be done?

Mom explains that we will stick the wheels on sticks on the side of the trailer. Now one trailer is ready and the girl herself loads it with tomatoes with her own hands.

The child has emotional joy - a trailer with spinning wheels and delicious tomatoes.

The girl, on the advice of her mother, loads one carriage with tomatoes, the second carriage with carrots, and the third carriage with cucumbers.

Mom says that the train has brought vegetables: What do you want to eat?

The proposed vegetable crafts may well take a worthy place in the exhibition hall of the kindergarten.
