How to make a lamb with your own hands from food: cauliflower, mastic, sweets? Cauliflower sheep - a craft that pleases everyone

Making children's crafts from vegetables, as a rule, coincides with the autumn season, since it is at this time that a large number of various vegetables, fruits and berries ripen, from which crafts can be made. Unfortunately, such crafts are short-lived and quickly deteriorate, but at the same time they still manage to give a lot of joy and positive emotions not only to those who make them, but also to those who look at them. To make crafts from delicious and juicy vegetables for various competitions from kindergarten, with your own hands, you will need a sharp knife, so the process of making them must be under the supervision of adults. Entrust your child with fastening individual parts, and do the cutting yourself to avoid cuts. To fasten parts, it is better to use ordinary toothpicks.

So, all the necessary tools and materials are ready, the vegetables are washed and dried, so you can start making crafts.

We make handicrafts from vegetables for kindergarten with our own hands

Giraffe from potatoes and carrots.

To make such a giraffe, we need 2 potatoes and 5 carrots. The head and torso of the animal are made from potatoes, and the neck and legs are made from carrots. Giraffe ears can be made from seeds, and eyes from groats (for this, just press the groats into the places where the eyes should be). Spots can also be made from cereals that are suitable in color and shape.

Cute cauliflower sheep.

The step-by-step instructions below will help you make cauliflower sheep, which can not only be used as autumn crafts for kindergarten, but also decorate a festive table with them or serve them in an original way as a side dish.

To make these sheeps we need:

Cauliflower.
Seedless olives.
Buds of cloves.
Mayonnaise.
Fresh greens for the clearing.

Steps for making cauliflower sheep:

Boil the cauliflower in salted water and let it cool - these will be the bodies of our sheep. Then we stick 4 buds of cloves into each “torso” - we make “legs”.

We make sheep heads from pitted olives. To do this, very carefully make V-shaped cuts on the sides of the olives and carefully turn them inside out - we get the ears of our lamb, then we put the olive on a toothpick and attach it to the body.

We make eyes for sheep. To do this, you can use cereals or cut out from other vegetables that match in color, or you can drop a little mayonnaise, and place a black peppercorn inside the droplet. All cooked flock of sheep should be placed on a dish among dill, parsley and other herbs.

Crafts from zucchini.

You can make a lot of different crafts from zucchini, thanks to their oblong shape. Zucchini can be used as a body for animals, cars, fish and even shoes are cut out of them.

For example, to make a shark from zucchini, which is shown in the photo, only accuracy and dexterity of hands are required in order to make the necessary incisions on the body.

Girls will like such crafts from zucchini as shoes. In order to make them, you just need to carefully cut out the flesh, leaving only a place for the strap.

If there were suddenly no zucchini at hand, then it is quite possible to replace them with large cucumbers.

Funny cabbage bunny.
You can also make many original crafts from cabbage in a kindergarten or even an exhibition of children's art. To make a bunny, in addition to cabbage, you will also need carrots or potatoes for the legs, olives for the eyes and nose, and red pepper for the mouth. In order to make a hare, you need to separate 2 large top leaves from the cabbage - they will go to the ears, then cut the potatoes or carrots in half and fasten them in place of the legs with toothpicks. Next, we attach the ears, eyes, nose and mouth also with the help of toothpicks. Bunny is ready. Smeshariki are made according to the same principle, you can even make a whole company of funny cartoon characters - your child will be delighted if he can make these characters himself (not without your help, of course).
Alien from cucumber and apple.
A funny green alien can be made in a few minutes using just one apple and a cucumber. Cut the cucumber across into two halves - one half will go to the body, and the other should be cut into sticks for arms and legs. Fasten all the details together with ordinary toothpicks, and very carefully make the horns from cucumber peel.

A suitable sized pumpkin can be made into a flying saucer so your alien can travel freely between galaxies.

In order to make this or that craft from vegetables, it is not at all necessary to have extraordinary abilities. After all, the main thing here is not the result, but the process of your joint creativity with the child. Create with your child, thereby developing his imagination, creativity, cultivating perseverance and the ability to bring things to the end. These skills will be useful not only in school years, but also in later life.

In conclusion, a few videos about making various interesting and unusual vegetable crafts that will help you in co-creation with your child and inspire you to create new products.

A cauliflower sheep is a craft that can become both a table decoration and a delicious dish. The “curly hair” given to this by nature is very helpful to those people who want to make a funny craft out of it. It is very simple to make a lamb or a lamb, it will cope with parsing a head of cabbage into inflorescences and attaching additional details and a preschooler. True, it is better not to give a knife to children!

The easiest option

A cauliflower sheep is a craft that won't take up much of your time. But if you have very little free time - choose the simplest option. You will make a sheep directly from a whole head of cabbage and just come up with a funny face for it. Take a medium-sized head of cabbage, wash and boil it. Take a black olive of a large variety and attach it with a toothpick to the body of a lamb. Attach eyes from corn kernels and ears from improvised material (for example, colored cardboard) to the olive. Legs can be made from celery stalks cut to size and attached to the cabbage with toothpicks.

Such cauliflower crafts can have large champignons instead of muzzles.

Cabbage sheep

This version of the craft is a little complicated, but still quick and easy to perform. Separate one inflorescence from the head - this is the future head of your sheep. Take a small cabbage, it is easier to work with it. This time we will not boil it. Then take a black olive, pierce it with a toothpick and attach it to the head. Cut the olive in half (not completely), giving it the shape of a sheep's ears. Make eyes from white beans, planted on shortened toothpicks. Legs can be built from olives, carrot circles or soaked large raisins. Make a herd of such cute sheep, seat them on a plate and make a clearing for them from lettuce and other greens.

Cauliflower lamb

Prepare and wash the cauliflower head, white cabbage leaf, bell pepper and carrots. The cauliflower will be the body of the lamb. You need to remove the ends from the carrot and make legs out of it, on which the ram could stand. The legs are attached to the body, of course, not without the help of toothpicks. The head must be cut out of sweet bell pepper, attaching plasticine eyes to it. Cut the tail from a leaf of ordinary cabbage, and attach cherry leaves to the place of the ram's ears. The lamb is ready! It can delight you at home, and will also serve as an excellent craft for a vegetable exhibition in kindergarten.

table decoration

A cauliflower sheep is a craft that can be great (especially on New Year's Eve in the year of the Sheep). If you plan to eat this cute appetizer, then of course, you must first wash and boil the cauliflower. If the lamb becomes only an ornament, then do not boil it!

Take a plate of bright color and put on it a large boiled inflorescence of cabbage - a sheep's body. We put the pickled champignon on a toothpick and fasten it in place of the head. From the legs of pickled mushrooms we make sheep's legs. Ears are also cut out of mushrooms. And in place of the eye, you can stick inflorescences of cloves. It will also give a great spicy aroma to the room! Make grass under your feet from boiled broccoli florets. Be sure to salt and pepper the craft! A cauliflower sheep is a craft that can be served with sauce in a separate bowl.

If you want to make an inedible table decoration, then take a large head of cauliflower as a body. A small eggplant will become an oblong muzzle of a sheep. And the eyes can be made out of paper.

A huge number of crafts and mouth-watering dishes can be made from vegetables and fruits. Turn on your imagination and create more often!

Hello! Glad to see everyone again.

Here it is golden and wonderful time. The nights are getting colder, the day is getting shorter. Harvesting is in full swing, or maybe it has already come to an end. And so now we all together began to make crafts from vegetables and, of course, fruits.

This is such a small tradition, which is always timed to the autumn theme. Such exhibitions or events are held in every school and kindergarten, and each of you can take part in them.

Well, today I will surprise you again, and I will try to make this selection exciting so that you take first place at the holiday. And they were, as they say, the best.

All the same, the kids like this activity, to create something so interesting and fun. You definitely can't get past.

Well, let's start in order. What do you think, what can be done from ordinary potatoes? Let's look together and figure out what and whom they propose to do. Yes, that's right, for example, funny pigs or pigs.

Preschool children can build a duck with adults.

Or like a bun. And you can draw eyes and decorate somehow unusually. Among other things, if you find a suitable specimen of a potato, then a piglet will come out.

The same idea arose with this character, you guessed it? It's a cat.

Everyone's favorite cartoons, namely the heroes that the children loved so much, will also fit perfectly at this event. Watch this and Malyshariki with Kroshik and even Chipollino.

The simplest work is a hedgehog or a monkey made from potatoes and toothpicks.

Make such figures and it will be fun and interesting.

Now let's move on to the next vegetable. Everyone knows the beauty - carrots. From her, too, I found a lot of interesting things, especially if she herself was born with different curvatures. For example, you can see in this picture, such a couple in love in the form of octopuses.

The simplest craft is a nest. Chop the carrots and lay the birds down. By the way, chicken and cockerel are made from onions.

Like carrots and cucumbers, beets are also served for carving. Usually make roses or bouquets.

And if you don’t know how, you can cut the vegetables into pieces and lay out a cow or a bull.

Now go to the radish and select the following pictures. They mainly make mice, bees or mushrooms.

But what kind of musical heroes are a boy and a girl, as if they are performing on stage. And they light up in the dance.

And of course, everyone's favorite flowers from radishes or radishes come out nicely too.

Or you can cut it altogether.

Well, now I propose to consider souvenirs that will be made mainly of cabbage.

By the way, you can take absolutely any, iceberg, white cabbage and even broccoli or color. And create together with other vegetables.

Here's what I had to get. This, as you probably guessed in the first place, is a white poodle.

By the way, if you like acrylic paints, then draw minions or other cartoon characters.

Hmm, the old woodman would also fit in here perfectly.

Well, of all kinds, they are probably the most popular, since you can put all the gifts of nature, autumn in them. I will not dwell on them in detail, if you wish, you can go and read my separate note. Here I will show only a couple of photos.

Toys and souvenirs made of bell pepper are very little popular. But in vain, because such a vegetable is also good for creations. Look what cute frog creatures came out.

Or this bright dragon.

And here is the sea of flowers with tomatoes.

Well, in conclusion, consider crafts from cucumbers and tomatoes. I propose to make a muzzle or head of a cow, a bull. And garnish with parsley or dill.

The New Year is just around the corner, so it's time to start a pleasant business - thinking about the festive menu, and since we are preparing for the meeting of the year of the wooden sheep (goat), this should be taken into account. For the holiday, you will have to give up lamb dishes, otherwise the sheep may be offended. But she will really like vegetables, fruits and an abundance of greens.

How to make a lamb with your own hands from food: cauliflower, mastic, sweets? How to decorate the New Year's table?

Wood will become the favorite of the coming year, so a wooden dish with selected apples and fragrant oranges will be useful, as well as a linen tablecloth with light wood-colored napkins, wooden napkin rings too.

Figurines-symbols "Curly sheep" or How to make a lamb from cauliflower?

To make cute curly sheep, we need cauliflower, pitted olives, clove buds, a little mayonnaise and fresh herbs for the "clearing".

1. Boil the cauliflower inflorescences in salted water to the degree of softness that your family loves, drain the water and let cool. These will be the bodies of future sheep. In each such inflorescence, 4 buds of carnations are stuck - legs.
2. We make sheep heads from pitted olives, only filigree work is required here. With a narrow and sharp knife, V-shaped cuts are made on the sides of the olive, which are very carefully turned out, turning into ears. Now the olive is mounted on a toothpick and attached to the body.
3. It remains to make eyes for the sheep. We try different options, but the easiest way is to put a drop of mayonnaise, and inside her small peppercorns. We place the whole company of sheep on a flat plate between dill sprigs.

The second way to create a sheep

Is it necessary to boil cauliflower? What other sheep options can you get?

In this method, we consider the collection of methods and various sheep, since not every housewife may have olives at home. If you have cauliflower, then one is enough to create a beautiful New Year's sheep.

Let's get started!

1. The body of a sheep
We divide raw cauliflower into inflorescences and give it the desired shape. Prepare toothpicks for attaching the head to the body. The body may consist of 1 large inflorescence or several small ones.
2. Muzzle
For the muzzle, we use the same inflorescences or champignon. Grapes are also suitable, we cut them out
ears. A separate cauliflower inflorescence is also suitable for the muzzle, turn it with the stem outward and attach it to the body.
We make ears from:
- champignon;
- carrots;
- eggplant.
.
3. Legs
These are cabbage inflorescences or cucumbers, or meat, or carrots. For legs, any products that can hold the body of a sheep are suitable.

Salad "Sheep on the lawn" or Salad in the shape of a sheep

This delicious salad will not only decorate the festive table, it will also please the guests. Having made it in the form of the mistress of the year - a lamb, you will please her too. It is easy to prepare such a dish.

We need beef fillet - 500 g, 4 eggs and potatoes, prunes - 200 g, mayonnaise, dill and carrots for decoration.

1. In the evening, boil eggs, potatoes, meat and carrots.
2. Cut the meat into small cubes.
3. Peel the potatoes and cut into cubes.
4. We clean the eggs from the shell, cut them into halves and take out the yolks. Now grind the yolks with a knife, and separately rub the whites on a fine grater.
5. Soak prunes for 30 minutes, wash, dry and cut into thin strips. We leave a few pieces for decoration.
6. Put the prepared ingredients (except proteins) in a bowl, add mayonnaise, salt to taste and mix.
7. We choose a flat dish and begin to lay out a salad in the shape of a sheep, sprinkle it with grated protein, which makes the sheep immediately become white and fluffy. We cut out an ear from a piece of meat, and prunes are useful for legs, a small tail and eyes. We make a collar and a bell on it from boiled carrots. From it we cut out flowers, which we lay out on dill branches.
Here is such a sheep on green grass. Only the dish for this salad should not be white, because then the lamb on it will be hard to see. In extreme cases, you will have to decorate it with lettuce leaves from all sides.
Cookies "Sheep"
The recipe is so simple that even a child can handle it. All you need is a bag of frozen puff pastry, some raisins, brown sugar for sprinkling the cookies, and a lamb-shaped cardboard template.
Defrost the finished puff pastry and roll out. Cut out the cookies in the shape of sheep and carefully transfer to a baking sheet. Now we sculpt ears from the remnants of the dough, which we attach to the head of a lamb, and we make eyes from raisins. Lightly moisten the finished sheep with water and sprinkle with brown sugar. It remains only to bake cookies until they are browned.
Dessert from cottage cheese "Sheep-gourmet"
As part of this delicate dessert, 250 g of cottage cheese and sour cream, 15 g of gelatin, a glass of milk, 0.5 cups of sugar, fruits, candied fruits and chocolate chips for decoration, a packet of vanilla sugar.
1. 1. Soak gelatin in milk for swelling. After 2 hours, place the mixture in a water bath until the gelatin disperses completely, but do not bring to a boil.
2. 2. Pour sugar into the hot solution and stir until it dissolves.
3. 3. When the sugar-gelatin solution almost cools down, add sour cream and cottage cheese whipped with a blender or grated through a sieve into it. Mix everything thoroughly until completely homogeneous.
4. 4. Pour the mixture into round or even oval molds and leave in the cold until completely solidified.
5. 5. Put the fully frozen dessert on a dish, decorate with tangerine slices or candied fruits and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  How to decorate a Log in the Snow cake to make a mastic sheep
  Since our lamb is wooden, therefore the appropriate cake was chosen, that is, in the form of a log. In France, this traditional Buche de Noel Christmas cake is flourless and has a snow-covered top as it is sprinkled with powdered sugar. In our recipe, powdered sugar is replaced with coconut flakes, and flour is also present.
  You can easily decorate a log with a mastic sheep or make a cake in the shape of a lamb.
  1. 1. For a biscuit cake, take 8 eggs, a packet of vanilla sugar, 100 g of flour, a pinch of salt and 0.75 cups of sugar. For cream: a glass of 32% heavy cream and 0.5 cups of cocoa and powdered sugar. And for coating the log, you will need one and a half bars of chocolate, 75 g of powdered sugar, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of milk and butter and 10 tbsp. spoons of condensed milk.
  2. 2. Baking sheet, cover with parchment and preheat the oven by setting the temperature control to 190C.
  3. 3. Separate the proteins from the yolks. In a bowl, carefully grind the yolks white with 0.5 cups of sugar, add vanilla sugar, salt and beat with a mixer.
  4. 4. In another bowl, beat the whites with a whisk until soft foam, adding the remaining sugar a little at a time and continuing to beat. Add the flour, then add the beaten egg yolks and mix gently.
  5. 5. Put the dough on a baking sheet and start baking for about 15 minutes.
  6. 6. We transfer the biscuit to a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar and roll it into a roll, starting from a thinner edge. Now the roll should cool and stand for 30 minutes.
  7. 7. In the meantime, we are preparing the butter cream, for which we beat the cream, powdered sugar and cocoa with a mixer.
  8. 8. Carefully unfold the roll, and spread the whipped cream evenly. Now we roll the roll completely and place it on the dish with the seam down.
  9. 9. We coat the resulting roll with chocolate cream and apply a pattern that imitates tree bark. Sprinkle the finished cake with coconut flakes and send it to a cool place, let it soak.

    Candy sheep
    Tip: before you start creating a sheep, pick up white or light-colored candies. They will be the coat.
    Step by step making a sheep
    1. 1. On the finished frame, which can be made from foam or a plastic bottle or paper, we will glue our sweets. An additional option is to purchase a Styrofoam ball from a specialized store. You will need 2 of them, since you still need to make a head.
      Give the shape of the muzzle slightly oblong, like a real sheep.
    2. 2. The surface must be fully glued, so it is better to use a glue gun. The color of the glue will not be visible, and the candies will be securely fixed.
    3. 3. Add decorative elements: horns, eyes, wrap the muzzle with white corrugated paper, if you decide not to make it from sweets. Think about what your sheep or lamb will stand on.
    4. 4. Finish by checking the ears, muzzle, nose and tail.
    Tip: don't be upset if you don't find white-packed sweets, use paper. Just wrap the candies in it and only then start gluing them on the sheep.
    They say that both a tender sheep and a slightly capricious goat will be pleased with the variety of delicious dishes.
    If you want to be sure that they will like the New Year's menu, give preference to greens, root crops, and fruits. Cheeses are a good choice, and dairy products will perfectly fit into light New Year's desserts. Of course, this does not mean that you have to give up your favorite meat and fish dishes. Just use more greens for their preparation and decoration. All these products will not only appease the animal - a symbol of the coming year, but also bring good luck to the house.
    Happy New Year!
