Greetings, my dears! You and I fully immersed ourselves in autumn worries: we made preserves for the winter (compotes, preserves, pickles). But since September 1, new concerns have come to all homes where there are children. They are connected to a kindergarten and school. And I myself know firsthand how unexpected it is to always hear from a teacher or teacher that you need to bring autumn crafts from vegetables or fruits. Because you need to take part in an exhibition on the theme “Autumn”. And the care of moms and dads begins. They think about what they can do that is quick, beautiful and simple. Vegetables and fruits are taken from the cabinets. Each fruit undergoes careful selection, and the head of the family goes to the neighbors or simply looks for a suitable idea on the Internet. In general, you definitely won’t be bored.
I want to make this task easier for parents and I did large selection photographs of different ideas and crafts made from fruits. There are easier options, but there are also more complex ones. When you need to gather all your neatness to make it beautiful. But the chance of getting some kind of nomination immediately increases.
Thank you in advance to all the parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters who share their creativity on social networks and the Internet in general. Thanks to your desire to show joint creativity on one of those sleepless nights, other parents get a lot of new ideas for their crafts.
Let's look at craft options by type of vegetable. There are a lot of ideas and often, in addition to the fruit itself, you need to take a wire, a toothpick, paper or fabric. You can create an individual fairy tale character, or you can create an entire composition.
Pumpkin crafts
The easiest way is to make a recognizable character from cartoons and fairy tales. And often all you need is paint. You can also print some elements on a printer and stick them on the character.
A cute minion for your attention. There are toothpicks stuck on the top of the head, and a string instead of handles.
The Mouse Family also looks very memorable. The ears are made of colored cardboard. And stuck into the pumpkin using skewers. They are sold at most hardware stores. You can use any thick paints. But, if your craft will delight children on the street. Then coat it with varnish.
The boys come in to make this ninja turtle. I think that dad will not refuse to help his son in this venture.
Simple cute faces that for some reason remind me of the Scarecrow from the fairy tale about the Emerald City.
The creators of the cartoon “Smeshariki” helped us, parents, a lot. After all, there are as many as ten round characters. They can all be made from vegetables: potatoes, pumpkin or cabbage.
In front of you is Kopatych in a hat with autumn leaves.
Another cute face with sad eyes. All additional parts can be made from plasticine or paper. You can glue them on with double-sided tape. Sunflower flowers, artificial and live grass are used to decorate the hat.
By the way, you can use felt for the sides of the hat, eyes and nose.
I also found this wise owl interesting. Instead of eyes, you can use small squash or heads of garlic.
In order for the fake to last longer, the pulp and seeds are removed from it.
More character options. I think that making them will take no more than an hour of parental time.
Unusual ideas of black cats, mice and hares also spark the imagination. No additional tools are needed here; you don’t even always need a knife.
These are great examples for developing children's imagination. How to look at an ordinary product and see an animal in it.
If you try a little longer, you can sculpt the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland.
Now let's move away from the heroes and move on to the compositions. This is how pumpkins make very beautiful houses.
These crafts take longer to make, but you can make a fairytale hobbit hole.
And in this house live creatures made of bulbs.
For happy parents daughters have an idea that does not depend on time - this is a carriage for Cinderella.
You can use absolutely anything for decoration: beads, leaves, berries and ribbons.
Another composition option is to make a basket or vase for other fruits and flowers. In autumn there are a lot of different buds: asters, dahlias, gladioli, September flowers and others. Let's make up autumn bouquet and put it in a pumpkin vase.
Use ranetki, rowan and different colors of leaves. A bouquet of red, yellow, green and orange leaves will look so beautiful.
I couldn't get past this honey lover. I think he looks a lot like Winnie the Pooh.
Well, with your preschooler you can make Tortilla the turtle from the fairy tale about Pinocchio. You can also use assorted vegetables: carrots and potatoes. Moreover, they are attached in such a way that all the media are covered, which means that the darkened pulp will not be visible and the craft will remain bright and beautiful for a long time.
You can also make a duck. Sometimes the very shape of a vegetable reminds us of something. The main thing is to understand what exactly))
Look, nature did everything for us. The main thing is to give the right features and you will already have a beautiful goose with beads made of rowan berries.
Ideas from zucchini
You can combine vegetables. Let's say take a zucchini and a small pumpkin. And from these vegetables, the parents were able to come up with snails like these.
You make a shape, and let the child decorate the “shell”, make horns and eyes. So, there is a job for everyone.
How about such a simple but very interesting pig?
Or here's Daddy Pig. The main thing is that he stays on his short legs.
Another version of a pig with ears and a tail made of paper. And instead of a spout they attached half a Kinder egg.
I found a couple of ideas for zucchini whales. Look how simple it is and without unnecessary details. The fins and tail are made from pea pods, and instead of a water fountain, you can attach a stem of parsley or dill.
Or you can cut it all out of cardboard, as the authors of this kitten did.
There are ideas for airplanes and ships for boys. By the way, a similar airplane can be made from a cucumber.
And seat the crocodile Gena in the pilot’s seat. This craft surprised me a little with its red beet star. Oh, and these parents are inventors!
Here Gena is made from zucchini, not cucumber. And next to it is a pumpkin Cheburashka and a squash tree. And tangerines complete the plot. How can we do without them if we recreate a fairy tale?
How do you like the ship? I think that the child will not want to take it to kindergarten, but will start playing corsairs at home. Cabbage sails always catch the wind, and a carrot rudder never goes astray.
Another idea with Smeshariki, who went on a journey in zucchini cars.
You can send such a donkey to the exhibition. He is carrying a full basket of autumn fruits.
My daughter loves the resilient snowman Olaf. Apparently, he won the hearts of many girls, since his parents sculpt him from a zucchini. And how similar it is to the original is just a sight for sore eyes.
Previously, we made a penguin for kindergarten. But you can repeat it from vegetables.
You can make simple things that will look like fairy tales. For example, these shoes or sandals.
Oh, and here the mother clearly tried and recreated those happy days when her baby was still sleeping in his crib.
Idea with a bunch of cabbage. At the right approach it turned out to be a duck.
Now let's move on to the blue ones, from which you can make all the ideas that were shown above.
Eggplant ideas
The color of eggplant immediately gives a certain direction to the imagination. And I came across a lot of options for whales and penguins from this vegetable.
Look how similar it is to real birds. They just correctly conveyed the habits of these creatures.
Eggplant and potato friends.
Another idea for a little penguin from the cartoon “Madagascar”. The same fearless gaze and defiance of fate.
If you master the art of carving (vegetable carving), then you can safely sculpt such a zebra. An important condition here will be the presence of special tools that easily cut the skin and have narrow, sharp blades.
The King Whale is swimming in the sea. And your baby will really like it.
Is it difficult for you to make a poodle? With a bow from bell pepper and a cauliflower face.
Another simple craft for kindergarten or elementary school in the form of a helicopter. The propeller is made of carrots and is held in place by toothpicks.
Let's move on to the next vegetables.
Several variations of carrots
Carrots are often used to make parts for other crafts. But it can itself present interesting forms. How do you like a giraffe with matchstick horns? Very cute.
Or a horse with an onion-like mane. All parts are held on with toothpicks.
More unusual idea in the form of a goldfish.
From cabbage
You can make cute rabbits or a baby elephant from white cabbage. Beetroot is suitable for the head.
Here is another cute little animal from two heads of cabbage.
The bouncing bunny with cucumber ears will definitely captivate the teacher with her sweet smile. Only it will be a little heavy for a child, after all, two heads of cabbage.
Here's another little rabbit with potato legs. The nose is made from a tomato, and the eyes are made from boiled eggs. They can be replaced with an onion.
Cute ideas for poodles made from cauliflower sprigs.
The inflorescences themselves are very reminiscent of lamb's wool. So let's reproduce it.
Here is a sheep standing in a green clearing.
The muzzle can be made from potatoes, peppers or carrots.
Even champignon mushrooms can serve as a face for a cute animal.
It's a pity that we have all our cauliflower Already eaten, cooked.
From corn
An ear of corn costs 20 rubles in September. I think it could make a very inexpensive craft. What can you do? Well, for example, a rocket.
Or a horse that grazes on a bow. 
Dear bunny. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but I really liked the idea.
What do you think of minions in denim sundresses? I think it turned out very funny. 
And such an animal? He looks a lot like a squirrel. 
You just need to make sure that the corn is fresh, otherwise the grains may fall out and the craft will not be so neat.
From potatoes
Piglets made from tubers and plasticine are very similar to real pigs.
And even if you don’t have time at all, you do have a healthy sense of humor. Make a family like this. After all, the main thing is the idea and presentation, it is the freshness and unusualness of the craft that fascinates.
The bizarre shapes of the tubers can be very reminiscent of some kind of animal. For example, if you combine two potatoes, you can get a dog like this.
Or a heroic horse.
I also found this funny hippopotamus.
From cucumbers
A little higher we saw a crocodile made from a cucumber, but you can also make a shark.
Continuing the marine theme, I will show you a beautiful killer whale. 
Or funny frog princesses. 
Well, the cucumber turtle in glasses and a cap will definitely captivate everyone. She will definitely sing now: “Three hundred years ago...” 
Crafts from onions and other vegetables
Now I’ll show you many more options for interesting crafts. They are made from onions, peppers, and sunflower seeds.
Look how funny Luntik turns out. 
If you have chestnuts growing, then you can safely make a hedgehog with them.
You can also make a beautiful hedgehog from squash and toothpicks. 
How do you like the needles on the animal’s back in the shape of a sunflower? 
Or like this. 
Funny parrot made from bell pepper.
Bell peppers make beautiful tulips.
When there are only chestnuts at hand, see how you can beat them. The result was oak from autumn leaves, at the roots of which lie “acorns”.
Olive and pepper palms will also win many hearts at the exhibition.
The grandfather of chestnuts and cones is very similar to a goblin. 
A plot from the fairy tale about Cipollino with Countess Cherry. 
I also liked the set of different vegetables. Quite fast, but very interesting and varied.
The eyes are cut out of paper.
There are also a lot of ideas here.
Topiary, magic mugs
I wrote how to make topiary. You can also take this idea as a basis and make it from garlic and hot pepper.
Or chestnuts and rowan berries. 
By the way, such crafts can not only be sent to an exhibition, but also left for home decor.
Another idea with a magic bowl. The photographs show artificial fruits, but fresh analogues can also be used.
Agree, such a craft deserves attention. 
Queens of autumn
I think that when you have very little time, you can take an ordinary doll as a basis and decorate it for autumn theme. Add berries and leaves, fruits and flowers.
Make a whole composition. After all, the doll will personify Autumn itself.
Fun idea for queens with leaf crowns and watermelon dresses. 
Now let's get close to small crafts from fruits.
Beautiful and quick DIY crafts made from fruits
Fruits are most often small in size, with the exception of melon and watermelon. This is where we will start our delicious selection.
Minions are very easy to make, so they are sculpted from different types vegetables and even watermelon.
The melon bunny is also very cute.
Sweet boat.
So many interesting ideas can be found from an apple. It is dense and holds its shape well. But its flesh quickly darkens. To prevent this from happening, the craft can be lowered into a solution of citric acid.
The family of caterpillars looks very decent.
Funny little frog. What if we made a whole pond with them.

You can make a panel from pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Why not an autumn craft?
The lemon fish turned out very bright.
Well, the kiwi koala just captivated me. Kiwi needs to be firm and sour. Otherwise, all the pulp will leak out. 
My dears, but that’s not all. Indeed, one can simply envy the parents’ fantasies.
Master class on lemon mice for kindergarten
For small children it is difficult to come up with compositions with a lot of decorations and details. I would like to invite you to make a little yellow mouse out of a lemon with your baby.
Only mom works with sharp objects. And even a three-year-old child can insert parts into the slots.
We will need:
- lemon,
- 2 clove inflorescences,
- wire or thick thread.
First, cut a quarter of the lemon lengthwise. This is how we made the base so that the mouse’s body would not fall. We cut off the zest from a small part so that we have enough for small ears and a tail.
From one edge of the lemon, where we have a sharp tip, we stick a clove. She acts as our eyes.
We make a slit in the peel and insert the ears. Attach the tail to the body with a toothpick.
The antennae can be made with wire by simply piercing the muzzle right through. Or you can make them from thread by stitching the fruit with a needle.
That's the whole craft. Fast and interesting.

Horse: zucchini + carrots
This craft is perhaps the most difficult in our selection. However, this is only in appearance. In fact, putting vegetables together and forming such a figure is quite simple.
We will need:
- 2 small zucchini;
- 4 carrots;
- 4 potatoes of the same size;
- 2 hot peppers;
- twigs;
- ready-made basket;
- cardboard box;
- wire;
- toothpicks;
- any decor.
First, let's prepare the zucchini. If they are too big, you need to cut off the excess. Take a closer look at the main part of the craft: the zucchini consists of two parts. They are held together by many toothpicks stuck into the pulp. We fasten the head zucchini to the body zucchini in the same way.
Prepare the carrots and trim them at both ends. We need 4 identical blanks. Make holes in the potatoes and zucchini, insert the “legs” using toothpicks.
We make the harness for the horse from twigs fastened with wire. We simply wrap the basket and place it on a small cardboard platform. We make wheels from carrots. We fill the beauty basket itself with various vegetables and natural materials.
This vegetable craft definitely deserves first place in the creative competition!
Eggplant penguins
This craft requires only one vegetable and just a couple of minutes of free time.
We will need:
- eggplant or zucchini;
- sharp knife;
- toy eyes.
We attach the eyes to the tail of the eggplant using superglue. Cut off the concave part of the vegetable to expose the “belly” of the penguin. We make two cuts on the side to form the wings. We cut off the round part from the second end so that the vegetable can be placed. We form paws from it.
This craft will certainly appeal to the youngest children.
Pumpkin house
This pumpkin craft is great any time, but it's especially special for Halloween. Its advantage is that it can be stored for quite a long time - the pumpkin almost does not rot at all.
We will need:
- large stable pumpkin;
- sharp knife;
- toothpicks;
- natural materials;
- any figures.
We have already told you before. Here we proceed in the same way. The vegetable needs to be carefully cleaned from the inside, washed and dried, and only then proceed to the craft.
We'll make a window out of toothpicks. We cut off the top cover and glue any branches, leaves or rowan berries to it.
We install the structure on the cover from cardboard box, and place toy animal figures around it.
This craft is perfect for participating in a competition in elementary school.
Potato Cheburashka
You can make many different crafts from just one or two potatoes. It is enough just to supplement them with original details.
We will need:
- 1 large potato;
- toothpicks;
- plasticine.
Cut the vegetable into circles of equal thickness. We fasten the parts with toothpicks. We form the face from plasticine. You can decorate the craft with popcorn or a flower.
If you are afraid that the potatoes will darken, because the craft will have to be stored for more than one day, make it from whole tubers. Form exactly the same figure. Make ears and paws from halves of small potatoes, with their skins facing out.
This vegetable craft good for both kindergarten and elementary school.
We hope you are inspired by this collection of ideas. Repeat them completely or come up with something of your own. Supplement vegetable crafts with fruits, leaves, various decorations. Collect simple figures from large vegetables, if your child is very small. Or try carving if you're aiming for first place in a school competition. Have fun creating and have fun in the process!
