Sharing with your finds. All or almost all of us have to do crafts with children for kindergarten or school... You will also find fantasies here for home creativity with kids.
Let's start with the trees...
And now - pumpkins...
You don't have to do everything for a specific master class... And strictly adhere to the proposed topic. Can just take a craft idea and remake it in your own way.
Fantasies about candles...
To the hedgehogs I have a special weakness, so to speak. Once my family and I were picking mushrooms (I was still little)… We thought there was a big milk mushroom under the tubercle. It turned out that We woke up the hedgehog. And you can’t really put him back (as it should be) - he’s so sleepy... And I had to take him to my home - he spent the winter in a mailbox (yes, my childhood was in the 80s) under a pile of paper (and all this time slept)... And then he went into the forest in the spring... Khalesiy was like that... Accessories of the “Queen of Autumn”... Papier-mâché... And not only... Well I didn’t put the owls first again. They are always the first and most important for us... In addition to owls, there are also other living creatures… And again - improvised material. Not only the one found in the forest... But also the “home” one... For example, pistachio shells...AND door (wall) wreaths... are good not only at New Year and Christmas... In the fall they especially cozy and bright turns out...And again pumpkins... Some people have a lot of them in their dachas! I’m not a dacha lover (no, no): my mother just hands me buckets of vegetables. But my godmother gave me a pumpkin last year. Ahhhh... Maybe I'm Cinderella? Let's move on to crafts made from leaves and houses... If you don't understand how cover with leaves or dough bowl from below, to get such beauty, watch master classes... Many people make baskets now. A very popular craft. On this topic "Gifts of Autumn"... Well, the baskets really turn out very colorful and juicy... And again the leaves... And again the owls... And a lot of art... In our kindergarten, Alice’s group is very talented, kind and hardworking teachers- Olga Grigorievna and Anna Sergeevna. They love children. And they adore them make all sorts of things in the educational process... Or draw...Us crafts for children in kindergarten teachers left on a large panel- attached to paper clips that hang on fishing lines... Now I’ll find a post in a magazine when we made such a panel (with owls, of course) for crafts...
It’s such a shame to throw away homemade crafts. Of course, for some time they will please the eye... Some drawings will go into the family archive... But still you won’t keep them in a row... Therefore take photos of your creations. At least collect a photo collection as a souvenir... Only if you take pictures on your mobile phone, Don’t forget to “merge” the photo onto your computer. There are often notices around the city - “I lost my phone, return it: there are ALL THE PICTURES of my child!!!” Some parents ignore creative activities... They say that paints are a lot of dirt and stains - you can only get by with pencils or felt-tip pens... And all that comes out is a mess... And the child, they say, doesn’t understand the plasticine - he rejects it... Start small- just give the child the materials. A couple of lessons... Then again... And then start gradually advise and help... Encourage creativity, creation... I also don’t really like dolls and LEGOs covered with plasticine... But accuracy, diligence and imagination... will not come from anywhere from a child if you don’t work. Daily. Various plans leafy pendants... Of course, there is always not enough time. Of course, there is a lot of work and household chores. But the child is delighted that his autumn work is also on display in a kindergarten or school. This - a source of pride yourself and your family...Maybe this year... Maybe next... Your work will be recognized as the best at the exhibition. Even a prize. It will be a wonderful day. For now let family evenings Autumn candles provide warmth, and photo frames decorated with leaves or acorns adorn the shelves...
By the way, my friend and I once made of papier-mâché just made giant mushrooms... All the children made them as tall as a palm... And here we have... Giants. Mutants...)))

Crafts on the theme “Autumn” for school: top 5
Parents of schoolchildren every year try to help their children create the most beautiful crafts made from natural material on the theme “Autumn”. But, unfortunately, rather hackneyed versions of products often come to mind.
Since autumn crafts for school should not be too complicated, we offer 5 ideas that a child can bring to life even without the help of adults:
Autumn wreath
A decorative wreath is always relevant and beautiful decoration. Its beauty is that any materials can be used.
Crafts on the theme “Autumn” for school are usually made from various twigs, berries, cones and colorful leaves. For this work you should assemble a set of:
- bases made of bending thin branches;
- beautiful leaves, flowers and berries;
- decorative elements to your own taste;
- hot glue, scissors, strong thread.
The process of creating a wreath is creative and fun. You should start with these steps:
- Making the base. If you cannot find suitable branches from which you could use threads to make a strong base, use other options. It is enough to make a round blank from cardboard or rolled newspapers, and then wrap it in a beautiful fabric or twine.
- Thematic decoration. If the base turns out beautiful, usually only half of the craft is decorated. However, no one forbids creating lush and rich wreaths. Using glue, attach all the elements of the composition to the base.
Finally, attach a small ribbon or string to the back of the decoration to hang the wreath on the wall.
Edible hedgehog
Another interesting option- This edible crafts. Autumn brings a lot of fruits and vegetables that can be used in crafts. Unfortunately, such decorative elements are not durable, but children will enjoy the process.
To make a cute tasty hedgehog you will need:
- pear;
- a bunch of white and one berry of black grapes;
- toothpicks and knife.
Do not create such a craft too early if you are preparing it for a competition or exhibition: most likely, the fruit will turn black and spoil. To make a hedgehog, do the following:
- Remove the skin from the top of the pear. This part will imitate the muzzle. It is better for the tail to remain in place.
- Cut a small part of the fruit lengthwise so that the pear lies flat on the surface.
- Next, pierce the white grape berry with a toothpick and attach the blank to the pear. Repeat the action until the craft looks like a prickly hedgehog.
- Attach half a black grape to the tail of the pear. If there is no tail left, use half a toothpick.
At the end, decorate the hedgehog’s eyes with grape seeds and add decorations to your taste.
Bouquet in a pumpkin
For lovers of bright and voluminous compositions, we offer an autumn bouquet in a pumpkin. This craft will delight the eye for a long time. You can make it from:
- small pumpkin;
- floral sponge;
- various colors.
You will also need water, scissors and a knife. Follow step-by-step instructions to get the job done quickly:
- Cut off the top of the pumpkin and scoop out all the pulp.
- Cut the floral sponge to the size of the pumpkin and place it inside. Fill it with water.
- Trim the stems of flowers and create any composition from them.
When assembling, keep in mind that those bouquets that use flowers of different heights look much more magnificent and richer.
Autumn basket
It is not necessary to use flowers in your work to make a beautiful decorative crafts. Any berries, leaves, sticks and cones that can be found near the house in the fall are also suitable. Select a set of any natural materials, as well as:
- a small basket;
- voluminous shower sponge;
- PVA glue and some water.
To fix all the elements in the basket, you can use plasticine. However, this option is less reliable. Try making a craft according to the following scheme:
- Place the sponge in the bottom of the basket. If one is not enough, add more.
- Mix PVA glue with a small amount water, saturate the sponge with it.
- Start attaching various sticks and branches until the sponge is completely set. When you are done with the tall elements, decorate the basket in a circle with berries, pine cones, and grass.
Such compositions can be made in any size. If desired, decorate the basket handles with themed burlap bows and rowan sprigs.
Decorative pendant made of salt dough
If children are tired of the usual plasticine, it’s time to teach them how to make crafts from salt dough. This material is easy and pleasant to work with, and the finished work can be kept forever as a keepsake. The simplest “Gifts of Autumn” crafts made from dough are various pendants. To create one such decoration you will need:
- salty dough;
- several molds in the form of autumn foliage;
- thread;
- decorative branch;
- a set of acrylic paints (or regular gouache).
Making a pendant will not take much time if adults help the child do everything correctly. The work should be divided into several stages:
- Test preparation. If you can’t find ready-made material, you can always knead it at home. To do this, mix flour, water and salt in the required proportions. Ready dough roll out into an even layer, the thickness of which should not exceed 1 cm.
- Formation of leaves. It is most convenient to cut out leaves using special molds for crafts or baking. However, you can always make do with improvised means. If you print out several templates of autumn foliage, carefully transfer the outline onto the dough and cut out the blanks, the result will be no worse. It is also important not to forget to squeeze out thin strips on the dough so that the outlines of a real leaf appear.
- Registration of details. Once the leaves are ready, you need to make a hole for the thread and you can start painting. If desired, you can also paint a decorative branch.
- Final assembly. Air-dried leaves are hung in a chaotic manner on a branch.
A similar craft can be made from modeling mass. In this case, you won’t have to draw the leaf with your own hands, since it’s enough to briefly press real foliage onto the mass.

- While the painted rice dries, the outlines of the future work are drawn on the cardboard. Adults can even draw a mandala, but for children, drawings of autumn landscapes are more suitable.
