To make this vegetable crafts need 3 zucchini different sizes.

From the average zucchini we'll make the fuselage airplane . To do this, we will make 2 cuts. On top we will make a slightly deep cut under the wings - this is one.

At the back, where the tail was, we will make an oval cut at an angle so that the smallest one fits well into it zucchini - this is the second one:

Now let's prepare for our vegetable crafts wings. Longest zucchini cut lengthwise into 3 parts. We don’t need the middle part, but in the upper and lower parts (wings) we will make oval recesses so that the fuselage fits well into them airplane :

Our smallest vegetable cut in half lengthwise. Half is the tail for crafts , and from the second half we will make a screw. To do this, cut it in half lengthwise again. In the outer rounded part, we will make a small round depression in the center so that a small circle of carrot can fit into it:

All details crafts ready.

Eh, vegetables , vegetables ! How can we not use you!..

Then three toothpicks Let's fasten the upper wing to the fuselage:

At the edges of the wings we will stick two toothpicks :

Now let's attach the lower wing by inserting two toothpicks :

Half toothpicks attach the screw:

Everything is ours vegetable The corn cracker is ready.

Have a safe flight.

Carving

This option is more suitable for adults and schoolchildren, i.e. for those who can handle a sharp knife well. Squash fruits seem to be ideally suited for carving, because these vegetables are quite elastic and soft, and they are quite easy to cut. Well, the patterns turn out to be unusually attractive due to the contrast between the light flesh of the zucchini and their dark green skin. Of course, to become a real master, you will have to spend a lot of effort and time, but if the next fruit was spoiled due to your slightly unsuccessful actions, then you can always prepare and please the whole family with a delicious dish, which is also quite easy to prepare .

As for the options for crafts, there are countless of them - a variety of vases, figurines, and tea service and even a pair of stylish shoes. We suggest you make small openwork candlesticks. Cut off the bottom of the fruit for stability, determine exactly what height the future candlestick will have, select the core with the seeds with a spoon and cut out beautiful patterns on the walls. Well, now all you have to do is put a round tablet candle inside and light the wick. Using the same principle, you can make lanterns that can create a romantic atmosphere in your home.

You can also use beautiful carved vegetable products for decoration. festive table. To do this, purchase vegetable cutters at a hardware store that will allow you to cut strips of different thicknesses. Ready-made zucchini strips can be rolled into the shape of a variety of colors by tinting them food coloring- this is how you get roses, peonies, daffodils.

Ship

To make such a beautiful “handicraft” you should take a squash fruit large size(do not peel it, as you usually do when cooking) and cut it so that the cut part is a third, and the remaining part, respectively, is two thirds.

To work, take a large part and leave about a third of the raised deck from one end, make a depression in the remaining part - select the pulp with a spoon or cut it out with a knife.

Peel the carrots and cut them into layers; use them to make an anchor and a couple of flags. Chop another carrot, also peeled, into slices; they will later be useful for making portholes and a steering wheel.

From the remaining third of the vegetable, or rather, using its skin, make a pair of stairs, their length should be equal to the height between decks. Make a steering wheel - stick several broken toothpicks into a large carrot circle. Use the same toothpicks to secure the portholes along the boats and to secure the anchor. If you want to further decorate your boat, you can stick broken matches with sulfur heads along the top side.

Trim several large whole cabbage leaves to required size– secure these sails using long bamboo skewers. Decorate the top of the mast with carrot flags. If you don’t have cabbage leaves, then don’t be upset, because regular cabbage leaves are also suitable for sails. colored paper. Make a through hole on the bow of the boat and place a whole thin peeled carrot there. You turned out so wonderful!

Zucchini crafts for kindergarten

If in the near future kindergarten there will be an exhibition in honor of the autumn holiday, then be sure to do zucchini crafts for the holiday. Such cute “homemade products” will undoubtedly appeal to teachers, children, and parents.

Torn shoe

Take an oblong-shaped zucchini with a thickening at the end and make a hole in a narrow place, remove the pulp from the hole.

Cut the zucchini lengthwise into about a third to simulate a torn shoe sole. Amuse both cut parts, in this case the “gape mouth” will be more expressive. Cut several paired holes for laces in the top of the peel, insert plastic strips inside (a plastic bottle is suitable for cutting them out), paint them with nail polish white. Apply a pattern on the sides with a knife that imitates the usual pattern on sneakers; tie regular white laces or a knitted chain to the plastic strip air loops. Stick several matches into the “mouth” of the shoes, which will act as shoe nails. So the funny one is ready zucchini craft for kids kindergarten

Penguin

Take a small fruit with a soft skin. Cut out an oval belly in the center. Cut out the wings on the side, cut them a little from the bottom so that they protrude slightly. Cut holes for the eyes and use matches to secure the plasticine button eyes.

A triangular slot should be made for the beak; the beak part itself should be cut from plastic bottle, paint with white nail polish, and then insert into the squash pulp.

A small potato oval shape Cut in half lengthwise and use the potato halves as penguin legs. Here's another one ready in just a couple of tens of minutes.

Airplane

The fuselage of the aircraft will be made from a medium-sized zucchini - make a slightly in-depth medium on top for the wings. Near the stalk, make an oval cut at an angle.

Cut the longest fruit into 3 parts lengthwise, you won’t need the middle, but in the upper and lower parts you will need to make oval depressions, the fuselage will lie in them.

Cut the smallest zucchini into halves lengthwise, one half will be used to make the tail of the plane, and the other for the propeller. Cut the second half of it lengthwise once, then make a hole in the center of the outer round part and place a small carrot circle there.

The next stage is assembling the aircraft. Use a pair of toothpicks to secure the tail. Secure the upper wing with the fuselage with three toothpicks. Insert a pair of sharp sticks into each wing from the edge. Attach the bottom wing by inserting two toothpicks at an angle. Well, now attach the screw using half a stick.

Helicopter

Take a round vegetable, cut off the skin at the front without touching the flesh - this will be the windshield of the cabin. Similarly, cut off the skin on the sides to create side viewing windows. Using matches, fix a couple of carrot circles on the windshield - a kind of peephole.

Use small potatoes for the chassis, make a pinwheel from the cut off top of a small pumpkin, cut as needed.

Crafts from zucchini for the autumn holiday

In the fertile autumn, many vegetables and fruits ripen, which is why kindergartens and schools conduct themed holidays dedicated to the harvest. Autumn craft from zucchini will be welcome at any exhibition of handmade products.

Tractor

This technique is indispensable during harvesting, which is why it is symbolic that this craft is made from zucchini. To work, you will need to take two fruits, and one of them will not need to be cut. Cut the second one into two parts, and the one near the former flower should be smaller in size. This will be the vehicle's cabin. Trim the core slightly so that the cabbage slightly encircles the second zucchini. Be sure to cut through the back and seat in the cabin. The second half of this vegetable is cut in such a way that you get 2 large and medium-sized circles, one small one for the steering wheel.

Lay the untouched fruit horizontally and secure the cabin on it, secure it with a toothpick at the back. Attach the stick at an angle - this will allow your “tinkering” to be more durable. With another one, attach the cabin diagonally across the floor so that you can then attach the steering wheel to it. Attach the large and medium wheels to the base - do not insert the toothpicks to fix them all the way, otherwise the wheels may fly off. Make a pipe from a miniature zucchini, cutting off the excess. Cut this excess into two headlights and also attach to the tractor.

Using the same principle, you can make other transport crafts - cars, locomotives, etc.

DIY autumn zucchini craft

The natural cylindrical shape of such vegetables allows you and your children to make a wide variety of animals - crocodiles, bears, hippos, dolphins, whales. The basis for the crocodile will be a long green zucchini, but the short and wide fruits are perfect for making funny piglets.

Bunny

Take a couple of spherical zucchini, different in size - this will be the head and body of the animal. The legs can be made from oblong zucchini, or you can use other vegetables. Children will surely love this vegetable mix, because they are crazy about variety. The nose for the bunny will be a cherry tomato, the eyes - circles of radishes and black olives. The ears can also be squash or eggplant.

Rat

The basis for the cute rodent will be an oblong zucchini, a slightly smaller carrot will be used to make the nose. The ears will be carrot circles, the paws will be small carrots, the eyes will be pumpkin seeds. That's all you need for the rat.

As you can see, there are many options for making crafts from this vegetable. Also, don't forget the benefits of this natural material– it is quite inexpensive during the season, and besides, it does not darken when cut, as potatoes do. That's why you can use both whole fruits and cut pieces for work. The pulp of zucchini is not hard, pliable, but at the same time quite dense. This makes the vegetable ideal for creativity. So, quickly choose the optimal master class for yourself, sit down with your child and start tinkering.

Using regular zucchini, you can create original crafts for school or kindergarten. To do this, you just need to show your imagination, be patient and, of course, find suitable appearance and plant size.

To make crafts, you need to choose smooth and undamaged zucchini

Autumn crafts from zucchini

squash ship

To make a ship, you can take both large and small zucchini, wash it and dry it. Then, without first removing the peel, cut it lengthwise top part. The remaining workpiece should be approximately 2/3 of the original volume.

Then you need to carefully remove all the pulp and grains. To make a flag and anchor, it is advisable to use some bright vegetables, for example, carrots, tomatoes, red peppers. You should also try to make the helm and porthole catchy.

Beautiful ship

You can build something like a ladder from the cut part of the zucchini. All additional details are well fixed with toothpicks. For decoration, you can use grass, flowers - it all depends on the child’s preferences.

Ship with scarlet sails made from cardboard

The most beautiful flag is made from white cabbage leaves. They can be pre-painted with gouache. If you don’t have cabbage at home, you can use a bright cloth attached to a wooden branch.

Zucchini penguin for school

When making a penguin you will have to work a little more with a sharp knife, so small child He cannot make such a craft without the help of adults. To make it easier, it is advisable to take a plant whose walls have become a little soft due to the fact that it was cut a few days ago.

On the sides of the zucchini you need to make cuts towards the “tail” and bend the resulting ovals to the sides. They will act as wings. You can cut out a small tummy in the center. Then the little penguin will be very cute.

The eyes of a seabird can be made of plasticine or small buttons, the beak - from pieces of a plastic bottle, carrot or beetroot - whoever happens to have it at home. Not here ideal scheme manufacturing. For a craft to be unique, you must bring something of your own to it, so feel free to experiment.

Penguin family

Plane and helicopter from a small zucchini

If you need to make an autumn craft from zucchini, you should think about creating air transport - an airplane or a helicopter. Both can be made very easily from this plant.

DIY airplane

For an airplane you will need two medium sized zucchini. The first one will serve as the base, so there is no need to cut it. It would be good if it had a thin tip curved upward. The second must be divided into three parts. The middle one can be immediately put aside - it will not be needed. In the remaining two, deep oval cuts need to be made in the center so that in the future they will fit tightly around the main part of the craft.

To prevent the wings from falling, you can prop them up with skewers or toothpicks. The screw can be made from zucchini peels and carrots.

Zucchini helicopter

If you plan to make a helicopter, you can try to find a plant that is shaped like this type of transport (as shown in the photo). Then all that remains is to attach bright carrot details to it and take the autumn craft to an exhibition at school or kindergarten.

If all the zucchini that is at home has round shape, don’t be upset - you can also make funny helicopters out of them.

Fun DIY helicopter

You need to lay the plant on its side, cut off the peel from the front to make it look like glass in the cabin. Make cuts on the sides in the form of windows. Attach the blades to the top.

cartoon helicopter

Instead of the chassis, put small potatoes. If you decorate the helicopter with eyes and a nose made from other vegetables, it will immediately come to life.

DIY green zucchini tractor

If there is a lot of time for production autumn crafts I don’t want to spend it on school, I can make a tractor. It will require a small vegetable of the correct elongated shape. You need to attach a kind of cabin to it on top, and wheels on the sides. What will they be made of? additional elements- carrots, zucchini of a different color, cardboard, plasticine - it doesn’t matter. In any case, the craft will be interesting.

This tractor is very easy to make

Here is a more complex version of manufacturing this type of equipment:

Good afternoon, today we will make crafts from vegetables and fruits. In this article I have collected the most complete collection the cutest crafts, with a theme suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn competitions at school are often organized on the theme of crafts made from vegetables (and not just from chestnuts and cones). It happens very often that that your child did not immediately tell you about the competition, often you will only find out about the craft by Monday on Sunday evening. And therefore, it is important to quickly EVALUATE the contents of your pantry and FIND an idea in the depths of the Internet that will suit your vegetable household stock.

That's why I decided to combine in one article all types of vegetables and fruits who can take part in creating crafts for the garden and school. You don't have to sift through heaps of Internet pages. Here you will find all ideas for children's crafts– in one article at once.

Here's what we'll be doing today:

  • Crafts from cucumber, pepper.
  • Crafts for the garden from onions, cabbage and potatoes.
  • Crafts and eggplants and zucchini.
  • Carved sculptures-crafts from carrots and radishes.
  • Flat crafts-paintings from vegetables and fruits.
  • Animal crafts from oranges, kiwi, bananas and lemons.
  • Crafts from watermelons, pineapples, and melons.
  • And I put it in a separate article

CRAFTS FROM VEGETABLES.

We'll start with vegetable children's crafts... and then we'll move on to sweet fruit sculptures. You will see that you can make a chipmunk out of an ordinary onion. And cut roses from radishes, which will bloom on their own if you put them in a glass of water. What am I telling you... now you will see everything for yourself.

Crafts FROM ONION for school and garden.

You can make many interesting sculptures from vegetables as well as from fruits. Here are the onion chickens. We take the young onion out of the garden right along with the stem, and cut the stem-stem into feathers - we move them apart, this “broom” we place on a carrot base post.

And here is another craft FROM RED ONION. Chipmunk with white stripes and fluffy tail from onion feathers. I'll tell you in detail how to make it yourself...

Take two red onions suitable size and shape (it is better to take fresh bulbs, straight from the garden - they are then even in color and elastic). And we immediately make white stripes on them - for this you need to cut the top skin of the onion with a blade and then carefully remove it (like shavings) so that you get a white “bald patch” in this place.

Forming a little body— take a long wooden skewer or toothpick and stick it into the belly bulb in the area of ​​the future neck. And stick an onion head onto the protruding end.

Making a tail- bend the green feathers of the onion into the shape of a tail, the lower part of the tail tie with thread or rubber band in a bundle.. And in a saucepan cook sugar syrup (3 tablespoons of sugar + half a teaspoon of water) - when the sugar melts and boils, coat the onion feathers with this sticky sweet glue (so that they stick together into a single tail) - dry it all. And then we pierce the lower and middle part of the tail-bun with toothpicks and stick it into the back of the onion-butt.

Paws- these are cuts on the onion-tummy. To make the paws detach and protrude from the tummy, you can place pieces of plasticine under them. Ears These are small slices from another onion - we stick them into the slits on the chipmunk’s head. Eyes- these are olives (you can use raisins, or pieces of black eggplant skin). The tendrils are also white cuts on the colored skin of the onion.

You can paste over a rectangular box (of tea or cookies) with onion feathers and make it from such a blank VEGETABLE RECORDER... or RADIO. Vegetable buttons are pricked with toothpicks or glued to sugar syrup (see recipe in Onion Chipmunk).

PUMPKIN CRAFTS

flesh carving.

Crafts from PUMPKIN PUMP . Even pumpkin pulp can become a source of beautiful crafts. The pumpkin is soft enough to cut out whatever your heart desires. For example, these majestic pink flamingos.

Birds can also be cut out from regular CARROTS. In the photo below we see how a man creates his masterpieces right on the street.

You can make a simple sculpture from the whole side of a pumpkin - for example, the face of a donkey.

Pumpkins are a very interesting product for creativity. You can talk about it for a long time and with photo examples. Therefore, many various crafts I collected from pumpkin in a special article

Crafts from radish vegetable

white and pink.

From WHITE RADISH You can also cut out beautiful parrots. White radish - resembles a huge white carrot. It can be cut perfectly with a knife into any shape. And the wings don’t have to be made from radishes either. You can take hard stalks from BEIJING CABBAGE. Beautiful and simple craft from vegetables for kindergarten and school. The jury will really like it.

And here is a craft made from red radishes... Also a very cute family of pink birds in a nest made of tops, pods or onion feathers.

AND gorgeous bouquet from vegetable roses. Here are photo instructions on how to do it. We cut the radishes with a knife into shavings - in a checkerboard pattern (like cabbage leaves on a stalk). Then we put such a cut radish in water - and under the influence of water it swells and opens its petals. We string the buds onto wooden skewers - and so that the stems are green, we insert each skewer inside an onion feather.

FLOWERS FROM VEGETABLES

crafts-bouquets for the garden and 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 berry in the middle (from tangerines). Palms made from bell peppers and a carrot trunk, or a skewer trunk and grapes strung on it.

Here's an idea on how to create lush tulips from sweet peppers. Or delicate white daisies made from thinly sliced ​​white mini pumpkins (with a yellow carrot center). An excellent craft for children who are bored at the dacha.

And here is a way to make ASTRA from the stalk of Chinese cabbage. If you add rose flowers from red cabbage to such a Beijing aster, you get an elegant composition for an exhibition at school or kindergarten.

Crafts from Zucchini and other vegetables.

Here is the ZUCCHINI ZUCCHINI penguin bird - with a sweet red pepper bow and orange eyes. It’s very easy and accessible to make with your own hands, even for children.

And here is another bird with a tomato head and a green crest and green pepper wings. The belly is a white zucchini.

You can make human or animal heads from squash crops.

If the fruit has a pointed shape, then you can play it like the face of a puppy or mouse.

You can also make a sculptural dragon craft from zucchini halves. But this is a real challenge to our creativity. The most important thing here is the head - if you get the muzzle, then you can continue and make the body.

Using the same principle, you can create similar composite sculptures from oranges.

BLACK EGGPLANT

vegetable crafts for the garden.

The black color of the eggplant tells us the creation of black and white animals that live on our planet - and these are ZEBRAS, WHALES, PENGUINS, AND KOALAS. (I didn’t find koalas among the photos of crafts - but it’s a good idea).

Eggplant can act as an insert element in crafts made from other vegetables (see photo below with a rooster and 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 furry animals.

CRAFTS FROM POTATOES.

Even ordinary potatoes can become an interesting tool for children's creativity. These minions can be made from potatoes - they can be dressed in overalls made from black eggplants. The minions themselves can be painted with yellow gouache paint. Glasses can be cut from round carrots (cut the carrot into a circle and cut a round hole in the circle).

The very shape of the potato can give you an idea for a craft - in the photo above we 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 Peppa Pig's head, you very often come across them.
You will find more ideas for potato crafts in a special article on our website

Crafts FROM PEPPERS and other vegetables.

Sweet and hot peppers can be a source of inspiration. Their smooth, shiny shape guarantees the beauty of the final craft. Like this motorbike can be assembled by connecting all the parts with toothpicks (plasticine can be placed inside as an additional fastener for toothpicks). Thread citrus wheels onto toothpicks as well.

Roosters and overseas birds can be made from peppers in a fancy curved shape. You can look for these in a store, or better yet, at the market or at your dacha.

But crabs and crayfish... They are made from several pepper vegetables. And to be honest, PHOTOSHOP was also WORKED here (removed what was unnecessary and completed what was not needed) - but the idea is still the same worth it to try to implement it for real.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, everything is fair. No photoshop – only the skillful hands of a master and the eye of an artist. Bean pods (whiskers and horns), corn stalks (ears and tail), apple (for the muzzle), carrots (paws and spinal teeth), toothpicks (claws and fasteners).

It is important to be able to look at fruits and vegetables this way an artist's eye, squint, blur your eyes and suddenly, in this foggy haze, see a future sculpture in a pile of vegetables.

CRAFTS FROM CUCUMBERS.

Sculptures for kindergarten are most often animals. Children love animals, and animals love children. This is how nature intended it. Therefore, we will make cute animals from cucumbers. Cucumbers are, of course, GREEN CROCODILES.

Although sea inhabitants (dolphins and sharks) can also be carved from a green greenhouse cucumber. Make fins, gills-cuts, a white neck with a slit of a toothy mouth.

PICTURES FROM VEGETABLES.

But what kind of flat collage crafts can be made from vegetables and fruits. You can take famous paintings by famous artists as an ideological basis. And try to repeat them in your vegetable creativity.

Alon Zaid, an elderly artist, came up with the idea of ​​recreating famous paintings from fruits and vegetables. Here is the quiet Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, The Son of Man by Rene Magritte, the portrait of Dora Maar by Pablo Picasso

Here you go, Mona Lisa, aka Gioconda, by the great master Leonardo Da Vinci.

Here is another famous painting by Pablo Picasso.

You don’t have to repeat the MASTERPIECES of painting from the Hermitage... but come up with your own painting from vegetables.

And also don’t forget that in addition to vegetables, THERE ARE ALSO FRUITS. And they have their own visual capabilities. Their bright colors and interesting cut drawings.

So, since we got to the fruits, let's see what we can do for the garden competition using these fruits.

FRUIT CRAFTS

And now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures. I will show you the easiest crafts to implement with your own hands from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, aruboza peels and melon fruits.

Crafts from pulpy fruits
apples, kiwi, pears, bananas.

Here are some cute childish crafts made from kiwi. To create them, you need to select unripe hard fruits. The slices need to be blotted paper napkin so that the juice does not bleed through.

But crafts made from apples and pears - if you use one whole fruit + a thin slice of the second fruit, you can get something like this interesting crafts(mouse and elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple cutting you can make a trunk for an elephant. Delicious and fun crafts that you can make with your kids and then eat.

And here are crafts made from juicy pears. To create such birds, we choose harder varieties.

And to prevent the cut area without the peel from darkening, you need to lubricate it with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

And if you are making a craft from a pear, without the peel, and even with finely chopped feathers (as in the photo of the birds below), then it is better to protect such a craft so that it does not darken, and so that the “feathers” do not fall out and wrinkle. We use gelatin for protection. Pour gelatin powder with water. When it swells, heat it until it dissolves (but do not bring it to a boil!!!). And we grease our entire craft with this warm gelatin syrup. It will become shiny and will look fresh for a long time, nothing will darken or wither. Only important— we make the gelatin solution for such a lubricant 2 times thicker than jelly. That is, we read the instructions on the package and pour 2 times more powder into 2 times less water.

Crafts from bright red apples are made using exactly the same principle. We process white sections lemon juice (so as not to turn black) and can also be greased with gelatin syrup (so as not to wither and wrinkle).

Can be done crab craft from apple slices - also paint it in beet juice so that it is red, or grease it with lemon juice so that it remains white (does not rust).

You can make it 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 the bald spots of the petals into them - you will get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Children's crafts from bananas.

Of course you need to make minions out of bananas. This is clear to everyone. Bananas are yellow, so are minions. You can dress them in overalls made of cucumbers. You can make a whole family for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

You can make an octopus out of a banana. Add citrus fish and red pepper crab to it (see photo below in this article). And make a whole underwater kingdom out of vegetables and fruits.

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

Here's an idea for dachshund puppies - with skinned ears and green tails. The eyes are cut out and the pupils are inserted from black paper.

CITRUS CRAFTS

along with helping vegetables.

In lemons, you can play with their shaped feature - a POINTED NOSE. And make these cute little mice out of lemon (you just need to cut off their side so that the mouse lies on its tummy. Cut round ears from the peel of the cut lemon tummy. Cut a lemon on the top of the little mouse’s head and insert an ear into the cut. Cut a thin tail from the scraps of skin. And honey A children's craft for a competition in the garden or school is ready. By the way, you can use a piece of pumpkin. 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 “bald patch” on the orange (as in the photo with crafts below). This citrus “bald patch” can serve as a white belly for two chickens or penguins (in the right photo below).

From oranges you can make a cat (with cut stripes on the back and tail) and a bear cub with tangerine ears.

All parts are pinned onto toothpicks and stuck into the orange pulp.

Citrus peels cut perfectly into any flat shapes (like cardboard). Therefore, it can be used to carve complex carved shapes of fish fins and tails. Beautiful crafts in underwater style, add apple crabs to them, starfish from orange peels.

Citrus fruits can be used in crafts as an addition to a sculpture made from vegetables (for example, in the form of a wing for a parrot made from tomatoes and onions). Or the entire sculpture can be made from oranges cut into round shapes (as in the photo with the lion below).

If you take a cardboard box rectangular shape- and cover it with orange peel - you will get the basis for creating a camera.

PINEAPPLE CRAFTS

and other fruits and vegetables.

Here interesting ideas, for those who don’t 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, winged eyebrows from the peel of black eggplants, yellow paws from lemon halves.

From half a pineapple you can make a crocodile with eyes (radishes and olives) and paws (kiwi). Of course, such a crocodile requires a lot of pineapple sides. Not with 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 modest shadow at the school exhibition.

Or you can make a turtle from one half of a pineapple - and cut the legs and head from the pulp of a pumpkin, carrot, potato or other vegetable or fruit. A simple and beautiful children's craft made from vegetables.

And here is a pineapple hedgehog. To be honest, this is most likely the result of Photoshop, or the very painstaking work of a pineapple pulp cutter - you need to cut the peel off the side of the pineapple, then shape the pulp into the shape of the legs and head. Then use toothpicks to secure the stem comb to the hedgehog.

But the idea with a parrot bird is suitable if you find a pineapple with long ponytail. We cut it from the pineapple by pushing the knife deeper into its pulp so that the tail is cut off along with the yellow center. We stick a red pepper nose and olive eyes into the parrot's head and attach it to a wooden skewer to its habitat.

Crafts from WATERMELON RIDS.

You can make many crafts from watermelon. We are all familiar with the masterpieces of watermelon rind carving. Here I will not offer complex sculptural tricks. We simple parents– we are not so talented – we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most accessible crafts made from watermelon rind to the common man.

Here's 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 as not to interfere. On this oval part we draw future patterns with a felt-tip pen, and then we cut all the contours with a knife - we get a carved shell pattern. All that remains is to cut out the paws and head from other pieces of crust - attach all this with toothpicks to the bottom of the shell.

And here are the gaping mouths of sharks and frogs. We also draw future cuts on the watermelon. Cutting a segment of watermelon - we get a mouth cutout. We remove all the pulp from inside with a spoon and eat it. And then with an empty watermelon belly we do what we need - either a frog or a shark . Shark teeth are very easy to make– first, we make a shallow cut-groove along the edge of the mouth (to the depth of the green layer). Then along this groove we cut off the thin green skin - and the thick one white skin leave it. From this remaining white part we form teeth - we simply cut out and throw out triangular segments from it - and we get triangular remains - teeth. We make a slot - insert the fin into it - make a chipped indentation for the eyes and insert black olives.

And the frog doesn't need to have teeth - the eyes are made from halves of a green lime and two cherries on toothpicks.

Here is an example of how you can make a cartoon character out of a watermelon. In the first case (minion), we put a large yellow POMELO fruit inside the green watermelon overalls.

But here are crafts for boys made from oblong watermelons - watermelon ships and a submarine. We don’t sell such oval watermelons, but you can try to make similar crafts from round ones.

Or use an oval melon. Sails made of orange peels.

You can make a chicken out of an orange and put it in a small melon like a shell. A rabbit with ears, a frog, or create your own character.

But crafts made from melon are more complicated - an owl with lettuce leaves and a watermelon belly. Fish with carved scales and fins.

Here are some ideas for crafts made from vegetables for an exhibition in the garden or school. I hope you have found a craft that suits your needs here and will be happy to make it with your children. What you do with your own hands heals the soul. It seems to me that it doesn’t hurt for every person to take a break from watching TV and please their soul and their children a little.
