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 is 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 a gorgeous bouquet of vegetable roses. Here is a photo instruction on how to do it. We cut the radish into shavings with a knife - in a checkerboard pattern (like cabbage leaves on a stump). 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 squash squash (with a yellow center from a slice of carrot). An 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 motorcycle 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.

But crabs and crayfish ... They are made from several vegetable peppers. And to be honest, here PHOTOSHOP has also WORKED (removed the unnecessary and completed the unworthy) - but the idea is still worth trying to implement it for real.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, everything is fair. No photoshop - 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. Its bright colors and interesting cut patterns.

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. The slices of the slices must be blotted with a paper napkin so that the juice does not come through.

But crafts from an apple and pear - if you use one whole fruit + a thin cut of the second fruit, then you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple 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. Process the white cuts with 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 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 to them crabs from apples, starfish from orange peels.

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 are some interesting ideas for those who do not mind sacrificing pineapple for the sake of children's creativity. A small melon can become the head of an owl - we make eyes from round radishes and olives, eyebrows from the peel of black eggplants, yellow legs 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 we cut off the thin green skin along this groove - and leave the thick white skin. From this remaining white part we form teeth - we simply cut out and 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.

Crafts from vegetables and fruits do it yourself

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

The first children's craft from an apple that we will make ourselves, about which we will tell you, is called "Little people from apples". In order to make them, we 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 is down, the smaller is on top). Then gently seal the fruit together 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 other 2, respectively, will be 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 in conclusion, 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 the apple, or you can carefully cut it out with a knife right on the "head".

A self-made fake apple for kindergarten and school is ready! Let's move on to the second children's crafts.

Carrot or potato giraffe

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, cooking method: take two potatoes of different sizes. The larger potato is the body of the giraffe, and the other, respectively, is the head. We make the animal's neck from carrots, which need to be cut off the tip. Fasten the body and neck with the same, ordinary, 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 the eyes of a giraffe is from cereals, to do this, just press it into the potatoes, in this case buckwheat is suitable for the role of cereal.

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

Pear mouse - children's craft

Let's go back to fruits again, only this time to pears. The next do-it-yourself pear craft is called « Pear mouse. " The list of ingredients differs from the previous ones only in that in addition to everything we need a small piece of wire. Making: take a pear and make two small cuts at the top on opposite sides, and then bend them slightly. These will be the ears of our mouse. Now we 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 our eyes, and insert our ready-made eyes there. It remains only to make the tail. To do this, carefully stick a 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 from pears

Let's not deviate from the pear and consider another type of apple crafts in the form of men. Let's go back to the same people that we made from apples. Only with pears everything is much easier! If you want to cheer yourself up, you can make a funny person using the minimum amount of products! Take a pear and a knife. Carefully cut out the eyes, nose and mouth - done! You can also attach handles and legs using toothpicks. However, if this is too easy for you and you want something more original, you can add other components to the pear. We need one more pear, grapes and a banana.

Production: cut off 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 grapes will play the role of the nose, and the circle cut from the second pear is the hat. The smile can also be carefully cut with a knife. That's all, the human-shaped pear is made by ourselves.

Bouquet of berries

DIY crafts can be made not only from fruits and vegetables, but also from berries! Here is one of such examples, we are now with you and we will try to do it. The next craft that we will do at home is called "Sweet bouquet of the year." To make it, we 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 always salty dough. The process of making a bouquet of berries, craft:

• First, prepare the support for the bouquet, and it will consist of salted 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 that, knead the resulting dough thoroughly. It should turn out to be 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 the bouquet of berries itself in the form of a craft. You can start with any ingredients like cherries. Wash the berries thoroughly, dry them and carefully put them on skewers. Let it be a kind of buds that have not yet opened. After you have fixed the berries on wooden sticks, stick them into the dough, which is in our glass, in a chaotic manner. The main thing is to end up with a beautiful composition.
• Next, take the strawberries, wash and dry them as well, and then put them on other loose skewers. It is recommended to wear strawberries directly with the leaves, so there is less chance that the berry will soften and slide down. That's it, now we add the strawberry to the cherry. Place the skewers so that the berries do not interfere with each other and can stand freely, but, at the same time, next to each other.
• And now the final part is 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 overdo it with green, it's still a composition of flowers.
• The last step is to take the most beautiful napkin, pack a glass in it so that the napkin inside is not visible and tie the dishes with a ribbon. Here is such a bouquet we have with you. We are sure that it will not only delight the eye, but also awaken the appetite! Those who come to visit you will definitely not refuse such a delicacy.

And finally. Crafts for kindergarten and school from bananas have become very popular. We suggest you make a banana dachshund with your own hands. We need a large banana for her torso, and a little less for her head. With a knife, you can make a dog's ears by carefully separating the peel and removing the flesh from this place, and, of course, do not forget about the eyes. Decorate them with raisins. Everything, man's faithful friend is ready! We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with an article on the same topic, which is also very interesting and informative, there is something to try to do yourself.
