Crafts little mice

If your child has trouble eating cucumbers, then we can offer you an interesting solution. Together with your child, make a quick and delicious craft called Little Mice from a vegetable. It won't take much time, but we assure you, your child will love eating cucumbers. Moreover, they contain so many useful substances and vitamins.

DIY vegetable crafts are a very popular form of creativity. They are especially relevant in the fall. If you have a child, then various competitions at school have probably already begun. Choosing vegetables for your crafts is a great idea. And if you complement them with natural materials or the simplest decor, you can create real masterpieces.

Earlier we told you what it is. If you have a special knife, you can combine it with vegetable crafts. Then they will definitely be unique. However, you can do without this. It all depends on how serious the competition is. If creativity is exclusively homemade, then overly complex patterns are probably useless.

We tried to make as complete a selection as possible. Potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, onions, corn and other vegetables - in this article you will find lessons on creating crafts from a variety of crops.

By the way, some ideas may be useful for parents of little picky kids. If your child refuses to eat vegetables, try surprising him with a cucumber or carrot animal or person that he can eat. There are also crafts for the little ones that can be made for kindergarten.

Vegetables need to be carefully washed and dried. It is best to prepare all the necessary details right away. Get inspired, harvest and go!

Snail: zucchini + pumpkin

Even a child of primary school age can make this craft. True, you will have to help him a little.

We will need:

pumpkin;
zucchini;
rowan or other berries;
corrugated paper and cardboard;
leaves;
toothpicks;
additional decor.

Use a spoon to make a shell-shaped indentation on the pumpkin. We cut out circles from corrugated paper: for the cap and to hide the joint between the vegetables. We fasten the zucchini and pumpkin together with toothpicks. To make horns for the snail, we also use toothpicks and decorate them with berries.

A snail's face can be made from artificial eyes or made entirely from berries. It is best to place the snail on a cardboard box to make the structure stable.

There is no shame in bringing such a funny vegetable craft to a competition. She looks really great!

Boat: eggplant + onion

This craft can be done with your child in kindergarten. Just keep in mind that onions do not last very long, and therefore they may give off an unpleasant odor.

We will need:

eggplant;
2 onions;
colored paper;
toothpicks;
cardboard box.

Cut the eggplant in half and then scoop out the inside of the vegetable using a spoon. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the peel or damage the integrity of the walls.

Take toothpicks and glue a piece of paper onto each of them to make a paddle. They will need to be stuck into the onion so that the vegetables are automatically fixed in the eggplant and the craft is stable.

You can add decor to the bow using colored paper and PVA glue.

Merry men: assorted

You can use any vegetables for this fun craft. The main thing is that one should be elongated, and another 3-4 should be round. You can make such a car with funny people with your own hands for a school competition.

We will need:

zucchini;
potato;
toothpicks;
plasticine;
colored paper.

All small details and decor will be made from plasticine. True, it sticks very poorly to smooth peels, so it’s best to take rough vegetables.

We need to use one zucchini completely, and from the second we need to cut 4 round wheels. We attach them using toothpicks.

Some colored paper decorations can be glued with PVA glue. Do this only with vegetables that you do not plan to eat.

If your child is very small, put ready-made Kinder Surprise figurines in a zucchini car.

Carrot bunny

You can make a very cute bunny with just one carrot with your own hands. This craft is great as a trick to get your child to start eating carrots.

We will need:

carrot;
plasticine;
paper.

Take long and thick carrots. We need to cut 4 identical circles from it. Divide the carrots into 2 halves on top - these will be the ears.

Cut out the legs from the circles using a sharp knife. We make a cut in the center of the carrot so that we can place paper there and form a semblance of teeth. We make the eyes and nose from plasticine. We attach all the parts to toothpicks or half toothpicks.

If you plan to eat a bunny, make the eyes from berries or pieces of brightly colored vegetables.

Cucumber shark

This craft can be made to be eaten the same day. If you want to enter it into a competition, your best bet is to carve a shark out of a zucchini.

We will need:

cucumber;
radish;
any decor.

You can make imitation algae from cucumbers or paper. You can prick our future fish on a fork (even a plastic one).

The cucumber should be slightly curved. We will need to take one more vegetable - we only use the peel from it. We cut out fins and a tail from it. We make deep cuts on the main part of the craft. We insert small parts into them.

Cut the front part of the cucumber deeply. So that you can insert half a radish, a piece of pepper or a tomato there - we need to form the mouth of a shark. It is very convenient to secure the fish on toothpicks.

This craft can be an excellent decoration for a holiday table.

cucumber cactus

This cactus is a craft for the little ones. For kindergarten or 1st grade - just right.

We will need:

2 cucumbers;
large pepper;
dill;

It will be great to find a cucumber with a flower. If you don't have one, take a decorative one. Cut off two parts from the pepper. Insert one cucumber into the center. Cut the second cucumber in half diagonally. Attach the two pieces with toothpicks.

To make needles, take dill or other herbs. Let's just take chopsticks. Stick them into the cucumbers from all sides.

You can decorate the pepper pot with onions or peppers of a different color. You can attach the parts to dill if the pepper is soft. If not, use toothpicks.

Such homemade cacti can also become a wonderful decoration for a holiday table. Especially at a children's party.

Corn flowers

It makes sense to make this craft edible. That is, to make it, it is best to take already boiled corn. Although, if you are planning to make something for a competition in a kindergarten or school, then the idea can be used independently or as an addition to a larger craft.

We will need:

corn;
zucchini;
culinary skewers;
flower pots.

Pots can be replaced with regular mugs. Insert the zucchini into the center. Thread the corn onto skewers and thread them as deep as possible.

If you have a vegetable cutter, you can easily make flowers from carrots, turnips or any hard vegetables.

Carrot pirate

Crafts made from vegetables can become very original if you come up with an interesting decor. Moreover, you can create it from ordinary threads and colored paper. A hat, a hairstyle, a funny outfit - you will end up with something completely unusual.

We will need:

thick carrots;
threads;
cardboard;
paints;
insulating tape;
marker.

Using a knife, form the nose, eyes and mouth of the future pirate on the carrot. Cut off the top so that the vegetable can be placed.

Draw eyes and mouth with a marker. We make an eye patch and a pirate hat from cardboard. We wrap the threads with electrical tape. The saber needs to be cut out of cardboard, and everything else needs to be painted with paints.

By the way, this craft can be used for a children's Halloween party.

Horse: zucchini + carrots

This craft is perhaps the most difficult in our selection. However, this is only in appearance. In fact, putting vegetables together and forming such a figure is quite simple.

We will need:

2 small zucchini;
4 carrots;
4 potatoes of the same size;
2 hot peppers;
twigs;
ready-made basket;
cardboard box;
wire;
toothpicks;
any decor.

First, let's prepare the zucchini. If they are too big, you need to cut off the excess. Take a closer look at the main part of the craft: the zucchini consists of two parts. They are held together by many toothpicks stuck into the pulp. We fasten the head zucchini to the body zucchini in the same way.

Prepare the carrots and trim them at both ends. We need 4 identical blanks. Make holes in the potatoes and zucchini, insert the “legs” using toothpicks.

We make the harness for the horse from twigs fastened with wire. We simply wrap the basket and place it on a small cardboard platform. We make wheels from carrots. We fill the beauty basket itself with various vegetables and natural materials.

This vegetable craft definitely deserves first place in the creative competition!

Eggplant penguins

This craft requires only one vegetable and just a couple of minutes of free time.

We will need:

eggplant or zucchini;
sharp knife;
toy eyes.

We attach the eyes to the tail of the eggplant using superglue. Cut off the concave part of the vegetable to expose the “belly” of the penguin. We make two cuts on the side to form the wings. We cut off the round part from the second end so that the vegetable can be placed. We form paws from it.

This craft will certainly appeal to the youngest children.

Pumpkin house

This pumpkin craft is great any time, but it's especially special for Halloween. Its advantage is that it can be stored for quite a long time - the pumpkin almost does not rot at all.

We will need:

large stable pumpkin;
sharp knife;
toothpicks;
natural materials;
any figures.

We have already told you before. Here we proceed in the same way. The vegetable needs to be carefully cleaned from the inside, washed and dried, and only then proceed to the craft.

We'll make a window out of toothpicks. We cut off the top cover and glue any branches, leaves or rowan berries to it.

We install the structure on the lid of a cardboard box, and place toy animal figures around it.

This craft is perfect for participating in a competition in elementary school.

Potato Cheburashka

You can make many different crafts from just one or two potatoes. It is enough just to supplement them with original details.

We will need:

1 large potato;
toothpicks;
plasticine.

Cut the vegetable into circles of equal thickness. We fasten the parts with toothpicks. We form the face from plasticine. You can decorate the craft with popcorn or a flower.

If you are afraid that the potatoes will darken, because the craft will have to be stored for more than one day, make it from whole tubers. Form exactly the same figure. Make ears and paws from halves of small potatoes, with their skins facing out.

This vegetable craft is good for both kindergarten and elementary school.

We hope you are inspired by this collection of ideas. Repeat them completely or come up with something of your own. Supplement crafts made from vegetables with fruits, leaves, and various decorations. Collect simple shapes from large vegetables if your child is very young. Or try carving if you're aiming for first place in a school competition. Have fun creating and have fun in the process!

Quick navigation through the article

Are you preparing for a traditional autumn exhibition in kindergarten or school? Or maybe you just want to keep your baby busy on a rainy day in a fun and useful way? In this material we have collected 80 photo ideas of cute and interesting crafts from vegetables and fruits for the little ones and older children.

To connect the parts, use toothpicks, wooden skewers and pins.
In the absence of special tools for carving (artistic cutting of fruits), for cutting out small parts it is worth choosing a knife with the narrowest blade (for example, a penknife will do). Small holes in the peel are most accurately obtained using a drill or screwdriver.
To prevent the fruits from darkening, a solution of vinegar, lemon juice or gelatin diluted in water should be sprayed onto the cuts. If you want to cut out parts from carrots, soak them in salt water for a couple of hours, then they will become more flexible and stronger.
If you make crafts using the carving technique (artistic cutting of fruits) or simply use cut fruits/vegetables, then you should start making crafts no earlier than the day before the start of the exhibition. If you want to make a craft in advance or extend its life as long as possible, use only whole, dense and slightly unripe fruits.
Crafts made from vegetables and fruits (except for watery vegetables/fruits) can be stored for several days in cold water. Watery fruits will remain beautiful longer if they are periodically sprayed with water.

To decorate crafts, it is good to use plasticine, paper, marker, gouache, acrylic paints and all kinds of available materials.

Children under 7 years old can and enjoy making simple figures of animals, funny people and cartoon characters.

For older children, it is more interesting and useful to make crafts that are more detailed and subordinated to some plot or idea. For example, a pirate must steer a ship made of zucchini, and Cinderella must ride in a carriage made of pumpkins.

Do you want to make a spectacular structure that will delight your child and his friends? Make a large craft, for example, based on a pumpkin, watermelon, tall squash or melon.
Here is a list of traditional themes and ideas for children's crafts made from fruits and vegetables:

Towers, houses and castles;
Animals and insects;
Fairy tale and cartoon characters from the Firebird to Shrek;
Still lifes of flowers, plants, mushrooms in baskets and vases;
Funny people (for example, it could be a composition on the theme “My Family” or “me and my friends”, etc.).

Types of transport (airplanes, ships, etc.);

Unstable crafts are best mounted on a stand, such as cardboard, foam, or a shoebox lid.

Autumn crafts from vegetables for an exhibition

In addition to three-dimensional figures, you can try making a mosaic of sliced fruits and vegetables on a dish (then there is no need to glue the craft) or on a board in a frame (then it is better to use fruits/vegetables with dry pulp and attach them with pins or glue).

Vegetable craft ideas

From zucchini and eggplant

Zucchini is good for its variety of sizes, strong skin that holds its shape well, and pulp that does not change color over time, unlike potatoes. Therefore, they are great for carving and making parts of different shapes, such as round wheels.

Zucchini makes excellent boats, ships and airplanes.

Thanks to the dark color of eggplants and their elongated shape, they make beautiful penguins, whales and... zebras.

From pumpkin

Pumpkins are simply created for children's creativity, because they are so bright, round, can be very large or miniature, their peel is easy to carve and remove the pulp.

A classic plot for pumpkin crafts that every girl will love is Cinderella’s carriage.

Pumpkins also make good houses and towers.

Using several pumpkins of different sizes you can make a large bear.

Want to make a fun pumpkin craft quickly and easily? Simply attach or cut out eyes above the tail of the fruit, create a mouth, then put a hat or other accessories on the pumpkin. You will get something like this funny head.

From cucumbers

From cucumbers you can make baby frogs or a frog princess and, of course, Gena the crocodile.

In combination with carrots, cucumbers make good caterpillars, centipedes, snakes and mini-mobiles.

Cucumbers will also help out if your craft needs legs.

From potatoes

To make potatoes easier to cut and more plastic, it is advisable to keep them warm or at room temperature for 3-5 days. After cutting the potatoes, soak them in ice water for 20-30 minutes to remove the starch - this will prevent the cuts from darkening. In general, you can create any figures from potatoes.

To pair with the cucumber crocodile Gena, you can make a potato Cheburashka.

From cauliflower

Cauliflower florets are ideal for making lambs and poodles.

From carrots

Carrots are bright and beautiful, but when cutting out parts they can break. To prevent this from happening and to make the fruits easier to cut, you should use wilted or artificially wilted carrots (keep the fruits in a warm place for a couple of days, and then restore them by soaking them in ice water).

The orange color makes carrots the best material for making giraffes, foxes and other “red” animals.

Here are a couple more cute carrot craft ideas for a kindergarten display.

And finally, we suggest watching a video tutorial on how to make a vegetable craft in the shape of a hare with your own hands.

Fruit craft ideas

From watermelon and melon

Melons and watermelons are the most suitable fruits for carving and making all kinds of crafts due to their shape, dense rind and color.

You can carve a variety of animals from watermelon rind; green turtles, frogs, dinosaurs and the Cheshire tabby cat work especially well.

Baskets with or without beautiful handles can be easily made from half a watermelon. Inside the basket you can put fresh flowers, a bouquet of autumn leaves, flowers cut from fruits and vegetables.

Here are some more cool watermelon and melon craft ideas.

From apples

As we have already mentioned, in order to prevent apple slices from darkening, they need to be left in a solution of citric acid for 15-20 minutes and periodically sprayed with it.

Crafts from fruits for kindergarten

You can also cut small pieces of different shapes from citrus peels using scissors or metal baking molds.

From slices and segments of orange, tangerine, lemon and other citrus fruits you can “paint” cute pictures and pictures.

From grapes

Grapes are well suited for making mini-crafts, such as people or caterpillars.

Grape canapes can be used as legs and arms, as mane, hair or hedgehog needles as in the photo below.

Grapes are also suitable for creating a dark or green background, as in this photo example.

From banana

To make crafts from bananas, choose firm and slightly unripe fruits, and to prevent their peel from turning black, do not put the fruit in the refrigerator, but store it at room temperature.

By the way, bananas make the best figurines of dachshunds and dolphins.

Banana dolphins

If parents have very little time, and the child cannot yet create a vegetable masterpiece on his own, you can turn cabbage into someone’s head. To do this, you can wear a wide-brimmed hat or tie a bow on it.

Autumn crafts from watermelon

Watermelon is a very juicy berry, which makes working with it difficult. Usually, when making crafts, they use the peel and just a little pulp. Otherwise, the juice will leak out and the product will quickly lose its beautiful appearance.

A child will not be able to turn a watermelon into an animal, a flower arrangement, or, for example, a decorative basket on his own, since the use of a sharp knife is required.

A turtle whose shell consists of peel looks great. You can fill it from the inside with any fruit.
