Today we will talk about how to make beautiful children's crafts from vegetables and fruits for school and kindergarten with your own hands. Why do we love autumn?

When the summer heat begins to fade, it becomes cold and rainy outside, delicious, juicy fruits and vegetables delight the eye and encourage something new and creative. This is not surprising, because in the fall nature is so beautiful that we are inspired to create something.

You can collect bouquets of leaves or find the last beautiful flower and dry it in a book, or you can do something nice for your children by making children's crafts from the same collected fruits and vegetables! This is truly an amazing activity, because we are used to using food for its intended purpose - to eat it, but food can not only saturate the stomach, but also please the eye. We will present to you some types of beautiful fakes made from vegetables and fruits with our own hands, let your child also be involved in the manufacturing process, but remember that in this kind of fakes you need to skillfully work with a knife and other sharp equipment, so it is better for the child to work under the supervision of adults . And so let's get started, let's move on to learning how to make crafts from vegetables and fruits for school and kindergarten that you can do with your own hands.

DIY crafts from vegetables and fruits

Now we will bring to your attention a large number of crafts that you can make from fruits and vegetables with your own hands for children for kindergarten or school. Let's move on to practice.

The first children's apple craft that we will make ourselves, which we will tell you about, is called “Men made of apples.” In order to make them, we will need large apples, some pumpkin seeds, toothpicks and a knife. Manufacturing:

  • Take two such apples so that one is larger than the other, and place it on top of each other (the larger one is down, the smaller one is on top). Then carefully secure the fruit with a toothpick. The body of our little man is ready!
  • Cut 4 small pieces from another apple. Two of them will be the legs of the man, and the remaining 2, respectively, will be the hands. Also use toothpicks to attach the body parts to the torso.
  • Next, take a smaller apple and cut it in half. One of the halves will serve as a hat.
  • And finally, we take pumpkin seeds and use them to make eyes and a nose. The mouth can be made separately by cutting off a piece from an apple, or you can carefully cut it out with a knife right on the “head”.

This homemade fake apple for kindergarten and school is ready! Let's move on to the second children's craft.

Giraffe made from carrots or potatoes

The second children's craft that we will make from vegetables includes potatoes or carrots. From these vegetables we will make a giraffe with our own hands from carrots and potatoes. So, the cooking method: take two potatoes of unequal size. The larger potato is the body of the giraffe, and the other one is the head. We make the animal's neck from a carrot, the end of which needs to be cut off. Secure the torso and neck with the same regular toothpicks. Giraffe ears from carrots can be made from seeds, or from matches, carefully sticking them into the “head” of the animal. The best and easiest way to make giraffe eyes is from cereal; to do this, simply press it into the potatoes; in this case, buckwheat is suitable as a cereal.

You can also make a giraffe from vegetables with your own hands, using only carrots. To do this, as you might have guessed, you will need 7 carrots (4 for the legs and one each for the neck, torso and head). Secure the entire structure with toothpicks and our homemade carrot giraffe is ready!

Let's return to fruits again, only this time to pears. The next DIY pear craft is called « Mouse from a pear." The list of ingredients differs from the previous ones only in that, in addition to everything, we will need a small piece of wire. Production: take a pear and make two small cuts at the top on different sides, and then bend them slightly. These will be the ears of our mouse. Now let's start preparing the eyes. We take pumpkin seeds, draw pupils on them with a black felt-tip pen, make small cuts on the pear where we want to place the eyes, and insert our finished eyes there. All that remains is to make the tail. To do this, carefully stick the wire into the pear and do not forget to leave part of it outside, as if it were a tail. A couple of minutes and the pear mouse craft is ready for kindergarten!

People made of pears

Let's not move away from the pear and consider another type of apple craft in the form of little men. Let's return to the same little men that we made from apples. Only with pears everything is much simpler! If you want to cheer yourself up, you can make a cheerful little man using a minimum amount of products! Take a pear and a knife. Carefully cut out the eyes, nose and mouth - you're done! You can also attach arms and legs using toothpicks. However, if this is too simple an option for you and you want something more original, you can add other components to the pear. We will need another pear, grapes and banana.

Production: cut two circles from a banana and draw two dots with a black felt-tip pen - these are the eyes. We attach them to the pear using toothpicks. As you probably already guessed, the grape will play the role of the nose, and the circle cut from the second pear is the hat. You can also carefully cut out a smile with a knife. That's all, the pear in the shape of a man was made by ourselves.

The next craft is called “Rat Lariska”. Yes, just like the old woman Shapoklyak! To make a radish rat with your own hands, we will need radishes, lettuce, radishes, several olives, and, of course, toothpicks. And now the preparation steps:

  • Then cut off the front part of the radish and use a toothpick to secure the radish, the nose of our Lariska, to the cut place. You can also stick a couple of toothpicks next to the radish, this will be a mustache.
  • In order to make ears for a rat from leaves, it is necessary, as in other fakes, to simply make notches on the body in the appropriate places, and carefully place and secure lettuce leaves in them.
  • Finally, we make the rat’s eyes. To do this, cut the olives in half and attach them to the body with toothpicks. Ready!

Bouquet of berries


You can make DIY crafts not only from fruits and vegetables, but also from berries! Here is one such example that we will now try to create. The next craft we will make at home is called “Sweet Bouquet of Years”. To make it, we will need the following ingredients: berries (cherries, strawberries and others), skewers (or the same toothpicks), any greens (dill or parsley). For decoration: tall glasses, beautiful napkins and, of course, salted dough. The process of making a bouquet of berries, craft:

  • First, prepare the bouquet support, and it will consist of salt dough. It is very easy to make: mix 1 tablespoon of flour, the same amount of salt, half a glass of water and half a tablespoon of sunflower oil. After this, knead the resulting dough thoroughly. It should turn out elastic and not stick to your hands, just like yeast. If this does happen, add a little water (maybe you just need to wet your hands and knead again). The base of the bouquet is ready.
  • Then we wrap the kneaded dough in a napkin so that the top of the wrapped bag is open. There we will stick the very component of the bouquet. Place the wrapped dough in a glass.
  • Let's start making a bouquet of berries in the form of a craft. You can start with any ingredients, such as cherries. Wash the berries thoroughly, dry them and carefully place them on skewers. Let these be, in a way, buds that have not yet opened. After you have secured the berries on wooden sticks, stick them into the dough that is in our glass in a chaotic manner. The main thing is that the end result is a beautiful composition.
  • Next, take the strawberries, wash and dry them, and then put them on other free skewers. It is recommended to put strawberries straight with leaves, so there is less chance that the berry will soften and slide down. That's it, now add the strawberries to the cherries. Place the skewers so that the berries do not interfere with each other and can stand freely, but at the same time, side by side.
  • And now the final part – the design. After we have stuck our “flowers” ​​into the dough, the part not wrapped in a napkin still remains visible. We disguise it with our herbs (parsley or dill). It will be very good if, for example, the parsley is curly, just like flowers. Don’t be afraid to go overboard with green, it’s still a composition of colors.
  • The last step is to take the most beautiful napkin, pack a glass in it so that the napkin that is inside is not visible, and tie the dishes with a ribbon. This is the bouquet we got. We are sure that it will not only please the eye, but also whet the appetite! Those who come to visit you will definitely not refuse such a delicacy.

We fasten the heads of cabbage together with a skewer, attach a carrot, put on a cap made of pepper and tie a scarf, and the eyes and mouth can be made from plasticine.

Tractor.

  • A pair of long yellow zucchini
  • Carrot.
  • Plasticine.
  • Cardboard base.

On the basis we make a clearing or a road. From one zucchini we make the base of the tractor, and from the second - the cabin. We make wheels from zucchini rings. The carrot will become a pipe. Her rings will serve as the steering wheel and headlights. You can also make a plasticine man and put him in the cockpit.

Pumpkin is a tower.

We place the pumpkin in the clearing - a decorated cardboard base. Having selected the pulp from it, cut out the windows and door. Place grass on the roof. Next, we decorate the house to your taste and capabilities.

Snail.

We cut the zucchini and pumpkin as necessary and connect them to the base. The face can be made from berries, plasticine, and beads. And decorate the snail with everything you have at hand - ribbons, beads, etc.

Owl.

A wood cutter will also be convenient for cutting watermelon. A carrot will make an excellent nose, and the eyelids and eyes are made from scrap material.

Turtle.

As part of this article, the names of crafts made from vegetables were presented. All crafts are simple in execution. This number also includes the last one. 3 cucumbers, a head of cabbage, toothpicks and wire can make an excellent turtle base. The cabbage should be trimmed for stability and the shell of your turtle should be made from identical cucumber rings. A third of the cucumber will go to the head. Glue the eyes of beads or berries onto it, and put on wire glasses. And you can sew or knit a tiny hat.

Funny and cute hand-made crafts from vegetables and fruits are an excellent educational game for children, which can be arranged during labor lessons at school or kindergarten. At our master classes we will make Gena the crocodile, a bear cub, a giraffe and a pig from cucumbers, potatoes, carrots and apples. The instructions in the photo will help you and your children quickly decide on materials and step-by-step actions.

DIY craft from cucumbers and carrots “Crocodile Gena”

How to make crafts from vegetables and fruits with your own hands? The figure should not be complex and at the same time be as similar as possible to a character that is interesting and known to children. In addition, it should not contain rare or little-known ingredients.

Necessary materials:

  • 3 cucumbers (one of them should be small and clearly rounded, the others should be medium-sized, with slight curves);
  • black olive or currant;
  • carrot;
  • toothpicks (at least 5 pieces);
  • a quarter of a ripe tomato;
  • sharp thin knife;
  • board for ease of use (optional).

On a note! Prepare your vegetables for work. You should choose cucumbers of a special shape. For the craft you will need 3 cucumbers, but it is worth making a reserve in case some part does not work out the first time, especially if it is a craft for children. Wash the vegetables well and dry or wipe them.

Potato craft “Bear with a barrel of honey”, master class with photo

Potatoes are an excellent base for DIY crafts. If you decide to make any toy out of it, you should not use natural material in its raw form. To prevent the potatoes from darkening and losing their attractive appearance, they should first be boiled for a short time. Moderately soft potatoes are easy to pierce and cut, hold their shape and serve as a cheap base for crafts for kindergarten and school.

Note! Choose from the available ones the largest potato for the body of the craft, and the roundest one for the head. Prepare all materials and products, wash carrots and potatoes. Boil the potatoes, but not until tender. To make crafts from vegetables, the potatoes must remain firm and at the same time take on the color of a cooked vegetable.

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.
