Summer is coming to an end, why? Unfortunately, no one has an answer to this question. We have a guess, but we're not sure if everyone likes it. We think that summer is ending so that autumn can come. Like this. What's good about autumn? Someone has a birthday (but not everyone, so it doesn’t fit), someone will fly to the sea, but what about the rest? Admire the autumn forest and do crafts? Perhaps today we will do just that.

beauty from dried leaves

The beauty of the autumn forest was described by many Russian writers and poets, but even without this, every person knows very well that it is in autumn that the freshest rain is in the forest, the trees are full of yellow, red, fiery colors and delight the eye, and sometimes cones fall on the head. Collect those that have already fallen, take them home, and let's start creating wonderful crafts from tree leaves.

Leaf and flower decorations

Of course, this is what kids love to do. In schools, they are asked to make collages, and everyone strives to put beautiful pictures on a piece of paper that, to some extent, reflect their mood. Someone loves bright colours, someone likes to post pictures using flowers, and someone can even adapt twigs and roots. The scope for imagination is huge. Look at the photos below - from the leaves you can make paintings on the wall, lamps and even funny little animals.

Leaf applications

The most familiar applications are on a sheet of paper. There is nothing complicated in their creation - you will need PVA glue and a little patience. Arrange the leaves on the sheet and glue one at a time. To create a spectacular background, you can use watercolor and paraffin in some places, so you get the effect of scuffs and uneven coloring. Often such leaves are given to relatives or friends for their birthday, because to make a postcard from autumn leaves- simpler than simple, but a person is pleased.

DIY autumn leaves

What else can you do with autumn leaves? They can decorate the lampshade handmade, or lamp body. Hanging on a thread, you can make a wonderful decoration for the wall - you get a real magical twig on which the leaves hang in weightlessness.

How to paint tree leaves

We want to help you impress your guests. To do this, let's open one secret - you can give the leaves a different color in just a few minutes. To do this, we need a bunch of fresh leaves and ordinary table soda. We fill the leaves in a container with soda and add a little water, let them brew, and after the leaves lose all the green background, you can paint them with ordinary children's paints. The effect of airy multi-colored leaves will turn out.

Good afternoon. Today I prepared new idea pack for autumn children's crafts, which are suitable for home fun with children, for classes in kindergarten or school. I will show the brightest autumn crafts, made by children's hands. Here you will find suitable ideas for the smallest children(2-3 years old) and crafts for older children(7 - 10 years). We will make broken applications on the theme of autumn, children's mosaics made of paper, buttons and beads. Draw with paints on autumn leaves, and also make colorful prints of these leaves on paper. I'll show you how to make a whole picture book out of natural material and teach you easy way make applications from the leaves. In short, there will be a lot interesting lessons and master classes. So you will not leave this article with an empty head.

Moreover, the site also has thematic articles - where autumn crafts are laid out on specific topics. Popular themes for autumn are mushrooms, hedgehogs, owls, apples. Such piggy bank articles are convenient for selecting ideas for classes in kindergarten or at school.

So let's see what kind of children's autumn ideas I collected in this article.

Children's autumn crafts

IN THE MOSAIC TECHNIQUE.

Here is a pumpkin craft using the mosaic technique, which is made without glue. We will need a white sheet of paper, a black sheet of cardboard, double-sided tape and filling.

In this example, the mosaic filler is buttons, beads and nail glitter sprinkles. But buttons in our country are expensive. Therefore, it will be great if you just prepare multi-colored (yellow, orange, brown and reddish) pieces of cardboard, finely cut with scissors + beads and sequins. That will be cheaper.

On black cardboard, draw the outlines of a pumpkin. Cut out with scissors. We cut a white sheet of paper to the size of our pumpkin hole on cardboard. And we cover the entire surface of the white sheet with double-sided tape. Carefully attach the sticky white sheet to reverse side black cardboard - so that it completely covers the pumpkin-shaped hole. And we get a sticky inside for our mosaic. In bowls or on a tray, lay out the mosaic filler - pieces of paper, cardboard, shards of a broken cup, an orange plastic folder cut into pieces, cut pieces of cardboard and other things that come to your mind.

Your child will be happy to spread small things on the sticky surface of the pumpkin.

If you want to hold such a lesson in a kindergarten, then of course you won’t get enough adhesive tape and mosaic filler for all children. Therefore, I propose to make pumpkins collectively - one for 4 children. Just at the table, 4 children are sitting - they are given one pumpkin for all, and each has a bowl of mosaic filler. Children lay out the mosaic on the pumpkin together - and at the end of the work, when all the large parts are laid, sprinkle the craft with powder.

Glitter powder costs money. Therefore, you can make your own powder coating with a cheaper product. powder can make semolina, dyed orange. Semolina is painted with ordinary gouache, rubbed with hands into a dry homogeneous mass. Another powder can be made from grated dry autumn leaves.

Craft mosaic of colored napkins AUTUMN LEAF .

If square pieces of colored (yellow and red) table napkins are glued randomly on top of each other, you can get an excellent material for cutting autumn leaves.

Below is a master class that demonstrates general principle creating such a children's autumn crafts.

A colored napkin is placed on PVA glue - on top of an office file or film. Pieces of napkin can be torn (as in the photo below) or neatly cut into squares, as in the photo above.

Here sample maple leaf for this children's autumn craft. By the way, This autumn leaf template can also be used as a template for a sticky mosaic craft with double-sided tape (same principle as we just made a pumpkin with our own hands).

You can also cut out cardboard in advance autumn leaf frame template. Put a cardboard frame on a plastic file- colored side down. And with children's hands fill this frame with pieces of napkin. We pour glue-pva directly onto the file and lay napkins. Napkin ukaldka should touch the edges of the cardboard frame. Further, when the craft dries, we separate it from the office file - the entire napkin mosaic will cling to the edges of the frame. And we hang this craft-frame with a mosaic on the window. The sun shines through the bright layers of napkins. A beautiful stained glass autumn children's craft - which is easy to make in kindergarten or in the classroom at school.

Children's autumn crafts

Trees on bushes.

In the same mosaic technique, you can make just such a children's craft in the form of autumn trees. Glue round cardboard circles with colored napkins and insert them into the slot made in toilet paper rolls.

You can cut ovals in the form of leaflets from colored paper. Children will love to collect their autumn tree. For the convenience of work, first we put the tree crown round on the table, stick the leaves on it, and only after that we put it in the slot on the toilet paper sleeve.

You can do it differently. Do not make a slot in the roll, but make a tree crown in the form of a POCKET, which can be easily put on the roll. Just cut out 2 silhouettes of the crown and glue them along the edges - the unglued middle will open up like a hat - and we put it on a roll-sleeve.

Children's autumn crafts

from leaves

for the little ones.

The easiest children's crafts from autumn leaves are crafts for kids. When we offer a child a ready-made coloring book and show that some elements on it can be made from natural material.

Offer your child a lot of leaves and blades of grass different shapes- and let him choose the replaced part - the head, or the tail, or he wants to make ears, paws from natural material.

In the same way, you can use not one autumn leaf, but several at once. Or pave the craft with a whole pack of autumn herbarium (as in the photo with the hedgehog craft).

Many interesting ideas on working with autumn leaves, I have collected in a separate training article. I invite you to go into it a little later and learn new foliage craft techniques for this fall.

Drawing on autumn leaves.

children's autumn crafts.

The easiest autumn children's craft- this is to paint a large round sheet with red paint and when it dries, draw red dots on it with your finger (not with a brush). And then we glue such a leaf an already prepared blank of a bug drawn on a sheet with black gouache.

If you don't have a leaf round shape , it's easy to fix. An ordinary maple leaf can be cut in a circle - and you get the desired shape.

We can stick an autumn leaf on paper. And cover it with any pattern, and draw the missing elements next to the leaf.

Before you start drawing we draw contours on another sheet of paper autumn leaf and on this pencil copy draw a sketch of the future crafts. Thus, we check in advance whether all the details of the intended pattern coexist well with each other, as they fit on the autumn leaf.

And then, on a clean sheet of paper, carefully transfer all the elements of the draft sketch with bright, rich colors with a brush.

Some work can be done not with paints - but with bright thick office markers or felt-tip pens (as was done on the frog craft from the photo below).

You can also add colored paper elements to the leaf craft with drawing. Below we see a beet family in the garden. The land for the garden can be drawn, or cut out and colored paper, or made from sprinkling with a grated dry autumn leaf (grind dry brown leaves into fine dust, pour pva glue on a sheet of paper and pour leaf powder on it). Or you can use regular tea leaves.

And children just like to paint large autumn leaves in bright colors of gouache.

Or fit stained glass paint- It is thick and lays down with a beautiful glossy layer.

Children's crafts

with prints of autumn leaves.

We give the child a ready-made printable coloring book. A branch and contours of a bird should be drawn on it. The bird should be small - so that there is a lot of free space on the sheet. And the branch should go through the entire sheet of paper - diagonally. This way we can place leaf prints on either side of the branch. We cover the sheet with paint: with a brush, and preferably with a sponge - we dilute gouache with water in lids from cans and give children small pieces of a sponge. They wet the sheet with a sponge and put an imprint on our picture.

If you do not find a suitable finished coloring book on the Internet. You can draw it yourself on a sheet of paper with a black felt-tip pen - and then print it out according to the required number of children (this is if you work as a kindergarten teacher and you decide to take this idea for group classes and 20 or more children).

And also you can translate this picture from the monitor screen - directly from this site- put a sheet of paper on the screen and circle the translucent picture with a pencil. To resize the image to fit your sheet. Press the ctrl key with one hand and turn the computer mouse wheel with the other hand - the image will change size to larger or smaller, depending on where you turn the wheel: towards you or away from you.

Another autumn bird is the peacock. She is often depicted in the form of autumn crafts. We will also make it out of paper and paint. We will need paint to make leaf prints. First we collect a few autumn leaves from different trees - you need long leaves (for the central part of the tail) and small leaves (for the lower part of the tail). From paper, cut out a circle-abdomen and a pear-shaped shape for the head. Beak and eyes.

On a piece of paper we glue our belly of the future bird - and with a pencil around the belly we outline the size of the future tail. - You can immediately place the leaves in a circle - outline their location.

Then we cover each sheet with autumn-colored paint (red, yellow, orange) with a brush - and leave prints on a sheet of paper. We dry the prints and glue the paper parts of the bird. Ready.

Children's autumn crafts

In STAMP technique.

Children really like to make prints with paints using stamps made from a cardboard roll. Ordinary toilet paper is cut in half lengthwise (to reduce the bell, the whole pipe will give too large a petal) - flattened into a petal shape and connected with tape. We get convenient small stamps-leaves. In small bowls (lids from jars are suitable, or plates for flower pots) pour PVA glue and into it add gouache. Glue helps save gouache consumption - the color is just as bright and juicy.

cheap pva glue sold in hardware stores - called UNIVERSAL PVA GLUE or CONSTRUCTION PVA GLUE. It is exactly the same as stationery children's pva - but its price is 4-5 times lower than that of stationery and it is sold immediately in buckets of 500 - 1000 grams. One bucket is enough for 2 months of crafts for the entire kindergarten group. Convenient and cheap.

You can also bend the cardboard roll from above and below into a hollow - and fix it with electrical tape so that it does not unbend. And then you get a stamp in the shape of an apple. With it, you can make autumn children's crafts on the theme of fruits - with homemade preparations - compote or apple jam.

As stamps, you can take real apples cut in half.

The stamp can be cut out of any shape and with an internal pattern - from ordinary potatoes. For example, on an oval cut of a potato, cut out REMOVES in the form of veins of an autumn leaf.

Also, the inflorescence of CAULIFLOWER is a ready-made convenient stamp for drawing autumn tree. This children's craft is suitable for the youngest children 2-3 years old.

Plain round wine stopper can also be a good stamp for children's autumn crafts in the form of an apple tree.

Children's autumn craft-landscape

in engineering

MIRROR PRINT.

And the print technique can create something like this autumn landscape reflected in water. We need to divide the sheet into 2 halves horizontally. Bend this sheet along the line (so that there is a ready-made convenient fold line). Then lower part paint the sheet under the fold in blue (the color of the water in the lake). And on the upper half, apply a light shade of blue sky. Dry it all.

And then VERY QUICKLY, without letting the paints dry, we APPLY BRIGHT SPOTs of trees on the upper half of the sheet - a blunder at speed. And quickly, before they dry, we bend the sheet along our fold line - so that the spots of the trees are PRINTED ON THE BACKGROUND OF THE LAKE. If necessary, repeat this procedure again - apply the same paints to the same places and bend the sheet again. Then we add strokes in the form of tree branches. And if necessary - after drying - once again we go through the blue paint on the lake half of the sheet.

crafts-paintings

from cut leaves

Leaves do not have to participate in the application as a whole - in their natural natural form. From autumn leaves, you can cut any shape - squares, rhombuses, circles. Here on the craft below we see that the sheet is cut into rhombuses and each rhombus is a flying kite. Long blades of grass like the strings of kites, and bright stems like their long tails.

Large details can be cut from a wide maple leaf. This cute pig is made entirely of one sheet, which was cut with scissors.

Leaves are paper given to us by nature. And you can work with leaves like paper. Cut out any necessary details for the application from the leaves and make children's autumn crafts out of them. Simple and fast.

France has a whole children's book, which is illustrated with just such cut-out applications from living leaves. Why don't you come up with illustrations for your favorite stories. You can work with the whole class - and do great teamwork. All illustration crafts must be photographed in good quality and ordered (at a printing house or photo studio) - an album with a story illustrated by children's work. Then this test model can be taken to a publisher - such an idea may be of interest to publishers and your class can produce a real book with a large circulation - and earn themselves an interesting class trip or excursion. Why not.

Children's autumn crafts

OWLS and Hedgehogs.

I don’t know why, but of all the birds, owls are best associated with autumn. It is their silhouettes that artists most often draw when they take on autumn forest landscapes. Well, we will not lag behind the trends of great art and create our own autumn crafts-sketches with wise owls.

Let's start with a simple - but very beloved topic by all children. An owl inside a volumetric hollow. That is, we will make a real 3D tree. It is done very simply - a sheet of paper is folded in half lengthwise - and then again in half. Now we unfold it and see that there are three fold lines on a piece of paper (that is, the sheet is divided into 4 equal long parts - now put the extreme halves of the sheet on top of each other- and we get triangular tube(that is, a pyramid tube - as in the photo below a tree trunk). On this tube (along the middle fold line), we cut an oval hole-hollow with scissors. Now, so that the tube does not turn around, we will fix these extreme halves of the sheet (which we folded on top of each other) with glue - that is, we will close the back of our trunk.

On a sheet of paper (blue background - like the sky), we stick stick-branches. In the middle, we attach our triangular tree trunk to the glue.

Now on a separate yellow sheet of paper draw a round owl(nearly the size of a hollow). We decorate the owl with wings from paper of a different color, cut out a triangular forehead also from paper of a different color and eyes from white paper.

To keep our owl in the hollow- we glue a strip of paper crumpled into a ring on the back of the owl (that is, we cut off a strip of paper and closed the ends into a donut ring). We glue this paper ring with one side on the back of an owl - and with the other side we glue it to the bottom of the hollow. It turns out that the owl sticks to the hollow, and does not fall out of it.

Left over from leftover yellow and red paper cut the leaves- stick them on the branches and draw veins on them. This is so cute and simple autumn crafts- fits for senior group kindergarten.

And here's another interesting craft on the theme of the OWL. In the photo, the crafts are made from paper plates, but we can just cut out circles from cardboard. Two rounds per child.

Children cut one round in half (these are wings). We cover all the details with glue paint. If you mix paint with PVA glue - in the proportions of glue 4 times more than gouache - then you can immediately stick eyes and beak on such glue paint - right in liquid paint put paper parts, and they will stick. Where to get cheap PVA glue immediately in liter buckets (and not in jars of a teaspoon) I have already said a little higher in this article.

Even more crafts on the theme of an owl - I posted in separate article

And also hedgehogs are also a good theme for autumn children's crafts. You can add a background of autumn leaves to them.

The craft above is suitable for the older group of kindergarten. We give white to children paper cone(that is, you need to prepare cones in advance according to the number of children). With scissors, children cut the cone into a fringe. Coat the fringe with glue and attach it to a background sheet of paper. We paint the cone in Brown color(you can immediately make brown paper cones so as not to waste time on painting). And it remains to glue autumn leaves on the children's craft.

You will find a lot of ideas for crafts with hedgehogs on our website in a special article.

Autumn crafts

Children's applications.

Autumn is the season of rain and fog. You can make a craft that tells about this side of autumn. Every weather has its beauty. And it can be reflected in the craft.

Even such an elusive phenomenon of nature as fog. Here with help paper napkins(which we stratify into thin transparent layers) you can make shreds of fog (craft in the photo below).

And the rain craft can be served brightly and cheerfully if you add a bright rainbow to your picture, and make the cloud smile.

Children's craft-application

AUTUMN TREE.

The youngest children can do simple crafts- stick alternately colored ovals of tree crowns. And then circle the lines drawn with a pencil by the educator's hand with a felt-tip pen.

The kid himself will not yet draw so symmetrically and branchedly - but he will be able to draw around ready-made pencil lines. You can work with a felt-tip pen only after the glue has completely dried - for example, after a quiet hour, the craft will just dry out and children can work without the felt-tip pen getting into wet glue.

And you can do without drawing with a felt-tip pen. Just cut out thin brown paper slingshots and stick them on top of colored paper tree crowns, as is done in the photo of the children's crafts below.

Apple or pear trees too a good idea for autumn children's crafts. You can make one tree with rosy apples. Or you can turn on collective work and give other tables the task of cutting out leaves, flowers, silhouettes of birds flying south. And then put it into one common autumn picture.

I collected a lot of crafts on the theme of APPLES and an apple tree in a separate article called

You can combine the application with drawing with wax crayons. Each drawn leaflet is first drawn by the child along the lines with white wax crayon (or another color different from the color of the paper itself).

Then he takes scissors and cuts out the leaf without cutting the chalk line. And he collects a tree from such leaves. You can collect a common tree - one for each children's table. Then compare which table turned out smoother, more magnificent, more fun. And give out nominations - the most magnificent tree, the tallest tree, the most iridescent tree, etc. - so that no one is offended.

Autumn wreaths made of colored paper are also a good idea for a children's collective craft for this fall. Each child is given a simple and feasible task for children's hands. Cut along the contour of 1-2 autumn leaves.

Colored paper painting

CARPET OF AUTUMN LEAVES.

Like this beautiful craft can decorate any interior. It is made from ordinary colored paper - with ordinary children's hands. You can do this craft collectively with a group of children of the same class or in kindergarten with older children up to school age.

On a piece of colored paper - draw straight lines thin lines vein. Draw a circle at the end of each line. Then we take scissors and cut out along the contour of these styles.

We paste the cut veins on ordinary leaves of the same shape - but contrasting in color. Then we combine all the leaves into a single canvas. So that it was full of holes openwork. That is, the leaves stick together with each other only in EDGES.

Good luck with your crafts.

Working process

Topiary art is the curly cutting of trees and shrubs. Many have seen trees in the form of animals or flowers. Even the ancient Romans decorated their gardens with deciduous or coniferous balls, pyramids, all kinds of animal figures.

Today, when not everyone can afford a garden with decorative trees, topiary art has migrated from gardens to apartments, and trees have been made from any material at hand. The most popular form of topiary is a circle. This is a dynamic figure that will always attract attention. Such trees are also called happiness trees.

(Topiary on the makeup table).
While mom is at work.
Got busy with dad.
The topiary was made.
Mom was a surprise!
They went to the forest for branches.
For a napkin to the store,
In the same place, the DSP was bought,
And they found a pot in the closet.
This tree is for luck.
We will give mom on holiday.
Let mom be happy
From this wondrous beauty!
To complete the work, you will need the following materials.

- planters
- CPS (cement-sand mixture)
- one thick sprig of willow (you can use another tree) 30 cm long, two thin 35 cm long
- newspapers
- threads
- napkins
- artificial flower leaves
- decor - ladybug
- stapler
- scissors
- glue (glue stick works best)
Here the work is in full swing!
We got down to business with dad!
Dad - with TsPS and branches,
Well, I - with napkins!
1. Pour TsPS into the pot (about ¾ of the height of the cough), pour a little water, mix everything well. We wipe the edges of the cement with a napkin.

2. We insert the branches into the center of the pots. From above, you can sprinkle pebbles, or glass, or artificial grass on the DSP. They decorate the gray mass. Leave for a few hours for the DSP to harden.

3. We wrap thin branches around a thick branch. We make the trunk of our tree.

4. We fix thin branches on top. Willow can be tied in a knot or secured with tape.

5. We take the straightened newspaper and crumple it along.

6. Wrap the top of the trunk tightly with crumpled newspaper.

7. We make several layers, form a ball from newspapers. The size of the ball approximately corresponds to the size of the cache-pot. We fix the resulting ball with threads.

8. Take a napkin, fold it in half and in half again.

9. In the center, we fasten the resulting square with a stapler.

10. Cut out a circle from the square (cut off the corners of the square with an arc).

11. Each flower has 16 layers. We take the top layer of the circle, lift it up and compress it to the center arbitrarily.

12. In this way, we crush all 16 layers one after another. Try not to repeat the shape of the previous layer, so the flower will turn out more magnificent.

13. We straighten the petals and the flower is ready.

14. Topiary will need 30-35 of these flowers (this will depend on the size of your newspaper ball and the density of gluing flowers).

15. We paste flowers on a newspaper ball. It is better to start from the trunk (from bottom to top). We apply glue to the newspaper ball and glue the flower.

16 . Try to glue the flowers so that the newspaper does not show through between the flowers.

17. We enliven the flower ball-crown of the tree with leaves. Enough 6-9 leaves.

18. We glue a ladybug on the trunk.

19. Topiary is ready.

20. Such a tree will decorate a niterrier.

I bring to your attention a few author's ideas.

Napkin topiary is a modern type of creativity that creates amazing decor elements and compositions for home or holiday table. Products look noble and stylish, even though the simplest and most affordable materials are used to create them.

Napkin topiary is a modern art form

Most often, the topiary is made in the form of a circle, but a craft made in the form of a heart or a star will look much more original.

Moreover, flowers from napkins can be collected completely different:

• roses;
• cloves;
• dandelions;
• peonies;
• asters;
• lotus.

Each bud, if desired, is additionally decorated with beads, beads, sparkles and even sweets. Aroma is imparted with the help of aromatic oils.

The future tree trunk deserves special attention. For its manufacture, it is customary to use ordinary twigs, which are simply varnished. In fact, the material can be different: wire, cardboard, plastic tubes. Yes, and in this case, the decor should be approached more creatively, decorate the tree with ribbons, small pebbles, braid with threads.

Cache-pot is another important detail. The standard material for it is a flower pot, but much brighter craft looks in a cup or tiny bucket.

Ideas for the topiary appear in the process of work. It is enough just to start making the first flower to start fantasizing. If at the same time you are not afraid of experiments, you will get a truly unusual, memorable masterpiece that can give comfort and an incredible atmosphere to any home. See pictures below.
