Step 3. Thread onto skewers Maple leaves- sails: two sheets for the first skewers and three sheets for the remaining skewers.
Step 4. From carrots, cut out 3 flags and 6 circles - portholes.
Step 5. Cut an anchor from the zucchini.

In addition to Anton's idea, I found several videos about crafts made from vegetables.
How to make a boat from vegetables: the second version of the craft
Ship from the zucchini “Scarlet Sails”
Svetlana Kuznetsova and her son Artemy (2 years 2 months), participants in our “Autumn Children’s Crafts Workshop” competition, talk about how you can make such a squash boat with your child.
To make a vegetable boat you will need:
1. Zucchini
2. Wooden sticks(I took wooden skewers for shish kebab)
3. Colored double-sided paper
4. Threads
5. Knife, spoon
How to make a boat “Scarlet Sails” with your own hands
Step 1. Cut off the top of the zucchini.
Step 2. Using a spoon, scrape out the insides of the zucchini (you get a boat).
Step 3. We cut colored paper: you need to cut out 10 rectangles (of different sizes from largest to smallest), 3 triangles. These are sails.
Step 4. We put the sails on sticks and attach the triangles to the mast with threads.
The zucchini craft “Scarlet Sails” is ready. It looks very nice and can be done very quickly. It took me about an hour. Artemy wielded a spoon :).
What other crafts can be made from zucchini?
Vegetable sailboat
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 what you need to bring autumn craft 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 photos different ideas and fruit crafts. 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 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 from 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 reproduced 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.
Friends made from eggplant and potatoes.
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.
More simple craft V kindergarten or primary 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. 
More ladybug ideas. 
Funny elephant made from an apple. 
From half an apple and a banana, craftsmen came up with such a phone. 
Seasonal apples united into a wise caterpillar.
Apple peel snake idea.
Yes, another cute caterpillar with carrot legs. 
What can be made from a banana? I liked the idea with dolphins.
Or another handsome guy like this. 
Original lop-eared dachshund puppy. Maybe he will inspire someone to repeat this idea. 
Make funny parrots out of pears.
Or hedgehogs.
Here detailed master class of their creation. You will need the pear itself, toothpicks, grapes of any color and clove inflorescences.
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.
Video on making crafts from vegetables

Marina Suzdaleva
The participants of "" have already spent the first week with their kids based on the fairy tale "Turnip". And the most creative mothers together with their children made crafts from vegetables and fruits with their own hands. Judging by the reviews, this creative activity served not only as a good development of imagination, but also had a positive effect on the appetite of the players!
Vegetable machine
Craft materials:
The idea to do it appeared quite quickly. My son loves it very much different equipment! Besides, I wanted to come up with something that he would really be interested in doing. And also something voluminous, not flat, so that you can play with the craft a little, and not hang it on the wall. Everything else was dad's idea.
At first they thought of collecting it for toothpicks, but then they decided - our man is growing! My son enthusiastically hammered in all the nails and glued on the headlights. Then he collected the driver: Cipollino.
As a machine, the craft did not last very long. But after the game, Yura spent a very long time cooking vegetable soup and feeding it to everyone.

Crafts from vegetables: butterfly and racing car
My name is Maria and I have two children, Vasilisa, 6.5 years old, and Mark, 11 months old.
My daughter came up with and performed the craft herself. Vasilisa decided to do butterfly. It consisted of the following vegetables:
- carrot - body;
- salad - wings;
- basil - decoration.
The butterfly also had legs and a face.
The second craft is flower. Unfortunately, the photo did not survive. consisted of the following vegetables:
- sliced cucumbers – stem;
- lettuce leaves and radishes - flower petals;
- tomato - middle.
Mark helped dad with racing car. The wheels were carrots on toothpicks, the body was a cucumber, and in the driver’s seat sat a tomato. Once everything was done, we came up with a fairy tale about new characters. A whirlwind of fantasy took the daughter far, far away. And in the end everything was quickly eaten!
Reproduction of a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo
I thought for a long time about what I could do with fruits and vegetables that would be so unusual and interesting to surprise and delight my daughter. I remembered Giuseppe Arcimboldo and his painting “Portrait of Emperor Rudolf II as Vertumnus”! The ancient Italian god of natural abundance and Vertumnus, was considered the god of transformations. And the Italian painter captured the image of the emperor from a variety of vegetables and fruits, for which he was awarded the title of Palatine.
The theme of vegetables and fruits fit perfectly into the scenario of a fabulous week, and we decided to make a reproduction of a picture of their real fruits. At the same time, let’s touch a little bit of beauty by harvesting the granny from “Repka”.
We found aesthetically pleasing products in the refrigerator; there were viburnums, pine cones and chestnuts on the balcony. My daughter was able to lay out some of her hair and beard.
Of course, we don’t pretend to be similar, we got our own colorful character, but, in my opinion, he’s also very cute :)
Svetlana Klichova and Lera, 2 years 4 months, Moscow
I thought for a long time about what we should do. In one of the fairy tales, Vanya especially liked the fox. So we decided to make it from boiled carrots and fasten it with toothpicks. 
I boiled 3 carrots of different sizes, peeled them, and made a body and a muzzle from the big one. When they attached the body to the muzzle, Vanya kept trying to tear off the head. Then we also attached the arms and legs to the fox using toothpicks. When Vanya realized what happened, he laughed! In general, she did not live long. Vanya began to take it apart and eat it.
Geido Olga and little son Vanya (1 year 3 months), from Novosibirsk.
The idea of creating an edible car did not come by chance. My son still learns about new things through his mouth, and he absolutely raves about cars, especially tractors. So we tried to make an edible car: it’s delicious and you can play with it. Because My son doesn’t have many skills yet, so we decided to focus on something not very complicated. To make the machine we needed:
- Apple;
- Toothpicks;
- Cucumber;
- Grape.
Instead of an apple, you can take a pear, then the silhouette will be even more interesting.
You need to cut the apple in half and then cut it lengthwise into slices. The toothpicks will serve as the axis. But the wheels are cucumbers and grapes. Everything is prepared, you can start...
I assembled the first machine myself, showing and telling my son what to do and why. My son assembled the second car on his own, but with his grandmother’s help. First, I stuck one toothpick into the apple slice, after which I began to string first a cucumber slice on one side, and then half a grape. Then he repeated this procedure on the other side. Having made the front wheels, we turned the car over and he stuck a second toothpick into the apple, marking the second axle. On which I first strung cucumber slices, and then grapes.
The most difficult part of the job was to prevent my son from eating all the parts of the car in the process. But the result exceeded all expectations. After finishing work, the son took his typewriter and began to purr, rolling it across the table.

Still life "Forest clearing"
To create a still life you need:
- Potatoes - several pieces, depending on how many and what size the mushrooms are;
- Greens for creating grass. In our case: parsley and cabbage leaf;
- Box lid preferable Brown, as if the earth.
Process of creation:
- Together with your child, start tearing cabbage leaves and tearing off parsley leaves to create “greenery” for the bottom of the box lid;
- While the child is fascinated by this process, peel one part of the potato and shape it into a column (this is the mushroom stem), and cut the second part in half (this will be the mushroom cap) and cut out a container inside to hold the cap on the stem;
- Collecting a still life.
The work is ready!

Hedgehog made from pear and counting sticks
We created a hedgehog from a pear and needles - counting sticks, which we stuck into this same pear with the baby. I made the hedgehog's paws from apple slices.
Misha took an active part, but only in getting needles :)
Kudryashova Nadezhda and Misha (1.2 years), St. Petersburg.
We made a hedgehog and a chanterelle from fresh potatoes, carrots, matches and beans. While peeling potatoes, I accidentally came across two very curved potatoes that looked like animals. I inserted the eyes from beans and fresh carrots myself, cut out holes for the chanterelle's ears, and Olesya, with my help, inserted ears from fresh carrots there. We inserted needles into the hedgehog, first from toothpicks, then from matches.
Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?
The clearing was sprinkled with green grass (dill), the hedgehog brought apples (pieces of carrots) and pears. Then we painted our animals with brown gouache cotton swabs.
Olga Antonenko from Yaroslavl and daughter Olesya, 1 year 4 months.
Let's prepare necessary materials:
- Potatoes – 1 piece;
- Carrots – 1 piece;
- Plasticine black, white, red, green;
- Spaghetti.
Manufacturing process:
- Mix red and green plasticine until brown;
- We attach brown plasticine to the potato and draw out the face;
- Roll 2 balls out of white plasticine and attach eyes;
- We make 3 balls from black plasticine: 1 larger and 2 smaller. From them we make a nose and pupils;
- Cut 2 circles from carrots. We make longitudinal holes in the “head” of the mouse and insert ears;
- We make a tail and antennae from spaghetti and our mouse is ready.
You can play!
Victoria Pechieva, mother of 2 children: Anastasia (2 years 5 months) and Matvey (8 months). Krasnodar region, Belorechensk.
We needed:
- Pear - 1 piece;
- Grapes – 10 pcs;
- Toothpicks – 10 pieces.
We decided to make a hedgehog. To begin with, we examined the pear - touched, smelled and nibbled a little. They unscrewed its tail (stem), and for strength I put dough under it so that the pear would not roll. Then, the grapes were examined in the same way. We have already learned about toothpicks.
Manufacturing process: Place the pear on the dough. Then I gave my daughter toothpicks, took her hand in mine, and we inserted the toothpicks into the pear. Of course, this didn't happen without pulling the toothpicks back out. We touched and felt everything, the hedgehog’s prickly needles... Similarly, we put grapes on toothpicks, bit them a little in the process, well, that’s okay... And to top it off, they put a bunch of grapes on top. This is the kind of hedgehog we got.
Alla Shuvalova, daughter Lenochka, 10 months. We are from Samara.
For a creative competition of crafts from vegetables, we decided to make characters from the same fairy tale: a dog, a cat, a mouse.
For the craft you will need:
- carrot;
- beet;
- potato;
- toothpicks or matches;
- plasticine;
Wash and dry vegetables. The body parts are attached to each other with toothpicks. The eyes, ears, and tails are plasticine, they need to be attached to a toothpick, because... plasticine does not stick to the peel.
Our dog is made from carrots, our cat is made from potatoes, and our mouse is made from beets. The whole family did it, my daughter chose the colors of plasticine and pinched off pieces. As soon as all the characters were made, they immediately acted out the fairy tale! Previously crafts We didn’t make it from vegetables, and without your competition, we probably wouldn’t have made it either.
Gulnara Gazizova, daughter Leysan (2.3 years old), Chelyabinsk.
Idea for a craft: a horse is carrying the heroes of the fairy tale “Turnip” from the harvest in a cart and stops to smell the flowers on a stump, where a hedgehog is also sitting.
Materials:
- zucchini;
- carrot;
- potato;
- cabbage leaves;
- toothpicks;
- eye stickers.
Creation process: cut out the insides of the zucchini, cut it into a muzzle and body. The part that was not included in the composition became a stump. Indentations (hooves) were cut out of the potatoes. The carrots were cut into 4 rectangles (these are legs), another carrot into circles (cart wheels). We cut out plates (ears) and thin straws (flower stems). All the components of the horse were placed on toothpicks (my daughter stuck them in, I threaded them).
The cabbage leaves were placed around the plate and my daughter stapled them together. And she attached wheels to the toothpicks.
