Good afternoon, today we will make crafts from vegetables and fruits. In this article I have collected the most complete collection of the cutest crafts, with a theme suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn 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 is 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 - to do 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). Palm trees from bell pepper 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 a penguin bird from ZUCCHINI - 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.

And here 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 as an ideological basis famous artists. 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 drawings cut.

So, since we got to the fruits, let's see what we can make for the garden competition from 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 from apples and pears - if you use one whole fruit + a thin slice of the second fruit, you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple cutting you can make a trunk for an elephant. Delicious and fun crafts, which you can make with your children 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. Treat white sections with 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. Excellent small craft from fruits for children.

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.

And here is the idea of ​​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 mouse's head and insert an ear into the cut. Cut out 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 crabs from apples, 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 rectangular cardboard box and cover it with orange peel, you will get the basis for creating a camera.

PINEAPPLE CRAFTS

and other fruits and vegetables.

Here are 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. It’s not my salary to get carried away with this - but if you don’t have financial problems, then choose this cutie - the pineapple crocodile will definitely not remain in a 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 a long tail. 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 are simple parents - we are not that talented - we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most affordable ones to the common man crafts made from watermelon rind.

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 pattern of the shell. 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 the 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.

Doing something together, amicably, without arguing or quarreling in the process is another day that you will remember with warmth years later. It's moments like these that are remembered.... and not those when the boss handed you a certificate... Everything vain fades from memory over the years... but the present takes root and remains a bright picture in old age. Let's collect such pictures - in our hearts.

Let's create such moments for our children - let them have something to remember about their childhood. After all, what do we remember about our childhood years?

DIY vegetable crafts are a very popular form of creativity. They are especially relevant in the fall. If you have a child, then various competitions at school have probably already begun. Choosing vegetables for your crafts is a great idea. And if you supplement them with natural materials or the most simple decor, then you can create real masterpieces.

Earlier we told you what it is. If you have a special knife, you can combine it with vegetable crafts. Then they will definitely be unique. However, you can do without this. It all depends on how serious the competition is. If creativity is exclusively homemade, then overly complex patterns are probably useless.

We tried to make as complete a selection as possible. Potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, onions, corn and other vegetables - in this article you will find lessons on creating crafts from a variety of crops.

By the way, some ideas may be useful for parents of little picky children. If your child refuses to eat vegetables, try surprising him with a cucumber or carrot animal or person that he can eat. There are also crafts for the little ones that can be made for kindergarten.

Vegetables need to be carefully washed and dried. It is best to prepare all the necessary details right away. Get inspired, harvest and go!

Snail: zucchini + pumpkin

Even a child of age can make this craft. primary school. True, you will have to help him a little.

We will need:

• pumpkin;
• zucchini;
• rowan or other berries;
• corrugated paper and cardboard;
• leaves;
• toothpicks;
• additional decor.

Using a spoon, make a hole in the shape of a shell on the pumpkin. From corrugated paper cut out circles: for the cap and to hide the joint between the vegetables. We fasten the zucchini and pumpkin together with toothpicks. To make horns for the snail, we also use toothpicks and decorate them with berries.

A snail's face can be made from artificial eyes or made entirely from berries. It is best to place the snail on a cardboard box to make the structure stable.

There is no shame in bringing such a funny vegetable craft to a competition. She looks really great!

Boat: eggplant + onion

This craft can be done with your child in kindergarten. Just keep in mind that onions do not last very long, and therefore they may give off an unpleasant odor.

We will need:

• eggplant;
• 2 onions;
• colored paper;
• toothpicks;
• cardboard box.

Cut the eggplant in half and then scoop out the inside of the vegetable using a spoon. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the peel or damage the integrity of the walls.

Take toothpicks and glue a piece of paper onto each of them to make a paddle. They will need to be stuck into the onion so that the vegetables are automatically fixed in the eggplant and the craft is stable.

You can add decor to the bow using colored paper and PVA glue.

Merry men: assorted

You can use any vegetables for this fun craft. The main thing is that one should be elongated, and another 3-4 should be round. You can make such a car with funny people with your own hands for a school competition.

We will need:

• zucchini;
• potato;
• toothpicks;
• plasticine;
• colored paper.

All small details and decor will be made from plasticine. True, it sticks very poorly to smooth peels, so it’s best to take rough vegetables.

We need to use one zucchini completely, and from the second we need to cut 4 round wheels. We attach them using toothpicks.

Some colored paper decorations can be glued with PVA glue. Do this only with vegetables that you do not plan to eat.

If your child is very small, put ready-made Kinder Surprise figurines in a zucchini car.

Carrot bunny

You can make a very cute bunny with just one carrot with your own hands. This craft is great as a trick to get your child to start eating carrots.

We will need:

• carrot;
• plasticine;
• paper.

Take long and thick carrots. We need to cut 4 identical circles from it. Divide the carrots into 2 halves on top - these will be the ears.

Cut out the legs from the circles using a sharp knife. We make a cut in the center of the carrot so that we can place paper there and form a semblance of teeth. We make the eyes and nose from plasticine. We attach all the parts to toothpicks or half toothpicks.

If you plan to eat a bunny, make the eyes out of berries or pieces of brightly colored vegetables.

Cucumber shark

This craft can be made to be eaten the same day. If you want to enter it into a competition, your best bet is to carve a shark out of a zucchini.

We will need:

• cucumber;
• radish;
• any decor.

You can make imitation algae from cucumbers or paper. You can prick our future fish on a fork (even a plastic one).

The cucumber should be slightly curved. We will need to take one more vegetable - we only use the peel from it. We cut out fins and a tail from it. We make deep cuts on the main part of the craft. We insert small parts into them.

Cut the front part of the cucumber deeply. So that you can insert half a radish, a piece of pepper or a tomato there - we need to form the mouth of a shark. It is very convenient to secure the fish on toothpicks.

This craft can be an excellent decoration for festive table.

cucumber cactus

This cactus is a craft for the little ones. IN kindergarten or 1st grade – that’s it.

We will need:

• 2 cucumbers;
• large pepper;
• dill;

It will be great to find a cucumber with a flower. If you don't have one, take a decorative one. Cut off two parts from the pepper. Insert one cucumber into the center. Cut the second cucumber in half diagonally. Attach the two pieces with toothpicks.

To make needles, take dill or other herbs. Let's just take chopsticks. Stick them into the cucumbers from all sides.

You can decorate the pepper pot with onions or peppers of a different color. You can attach the parts to dill if the pepper is soft. If not, use toothpicks.

Such homemade cacti can also become a wonderful decoration for a holiday table. Especially at a children's party.

Corn flowers

It makes sense to make this craft edible. That is, to make it, it is best to take already boiled corn. Although, if you are planning to make something for a competition in a kindergarten or school, then the idea can be used independently or as an addition to a larger craft.

We will need:

• corn;
• zucchini;
• culinary skewers;
• flower pots.

Pots can be replaced with regular mugs. Insert the zucchini into the center. Thread the corn onto skewers and thread them as deep as possible.

If you have a vegetable cutter, you can easily make flowers from carrots, turnips or any hard vegetables.

Carrot pirate

Crafts made from vegetables can be very original if you come up with them interesting decor. Moreover, you can create it from ordinary threads and colored paper. A hat, a hairstyle, a funny outfit - you will end up with something completely unusual.

We will need:

• thick carrots;
• threads;
• cardboard;
• paints;
• insulating tape;
• marker.

Using a knife, form the nose, eyes and mouth of the future pirate on the carrot. Cut off the top so that the vegetable can be placed.

Draw eyes and mouth with a marker. We make an eye patch and a pirate hat from cardboard. We wrap the threads with electrical tape. The saber needs to be cut out of cardboard, and everything else needs to be painted with paints.

By the way, this craft can be used for a children's Halloween party.

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 must 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!
