04.05.2020

Hello! Glad to see everyone again.

This is a golden and wonderful time. The nights have become colder, the days are getting shorter. The harvest is in full swing, or may have already come to an end. And so now we all started making crafts from vegetables and, of course, fruits.

This is such a small tradition, which is always dedicated to the autumn theme. Every school and kindergarten must host such exhibitions or events, and each of you can take part in them.

Well, today I will surprise you again, and I will try to make this selection exciting so that you take first place at the holiday. And they were, as they say, the best.

To be honest, I am amazed by this and also extremely admired by the works that I found exclusively on the Internet. How cool and beautiful they all are. How great, I can’t find the words! Still, the kids love this activity, creating something so interesting and fun. You definitely can't pass by.

Well, let's start in order. What do you think can be created from ordinary potatoes? Let's look together and figure out what and who is being asked to do. Yes, that’s right, for example, funny pigs or pigs.

Clumsy hippos who scream, oh, their tummies hurt).

Or maybe you like lamb better?

Or this shy puppy who is so cute and resembles a poodle.

And here is a potato caterpillar, as expected, on cabbage leaves.

And also an ant and a spider in autumn foliage and flowers.

And even Masha and Misha can also live at such an exhibition with you. It turned out to be a whole fabulous picture, and even with a goldfish. Make a wish.

Or one little bear with a pot of honey, which is also made from potatoes.

A team of eight friends... Remember this children's song, so Thomas is the main commander...

For adventure lovers and dreamers, I suggest making monsters.

Preschool children can build a duck with adults.

Or for example a kolobok. Moreover, you can draw eyes and decorate them in some unusual way. Among other things, if you find a suitable potato, a piglet will come out.

The same idea arose with this character, guess what? It's a cat.

Everyone’s favorite cartoons, namely the characters that children love so much, will also fit perfectly into this event. Watch this and Malyshariki with Kroshik and even Cipollino.

The simplest work is a hedgehog or monkey made from potatoes and toothpicks.

Make figures like this and it will be fun and interesting.

Now let's move on to the next vegetable. A well-known beauty is carrots. I also found a lot of interesting things from it, especially if it itself was born with different curvatures. For example, you see in this picture such a loving couple in the form of octopuses.

The simplest craft is a nest. Chop the carrots and place the birds. By the way, the chicken and cockerel are made from onions.

You can also learn how to easily decorate your interior with flowers, see these works. And it's all made from carrots. Can you imagine?

And they even made a bouquet. The main thing is to find a curly knife.

The house looks great, so log and powerful.

But they even made a horse on a board. The tail was made from onion feathers.

But the most popular carrot toy is the giraffe and other animals. Making them even without a master class will not be difficult. Look.

Well, if you still find it difficult, then this video will help you.

Here are a couple more ideas.

You can even make a palm tree or an island.

Now let’s take it and make crafts from beets. I fell in love with the owl at first sight. In reality, if you bring such beauty to a competition, you can definitely win.

Like carrots and cucumbers, beets are also served cutting, that is, carving. Usually they make roses or bouquets.

Or, if you don’t know how, you can cut the vegetables into pieces and lay out a cow or bull.

Or make a baby elephant.

Now go to the radishes and select the following pictures. Mostly they make mice, bees or mushrooms.

But what kind of musical heroes are the boy and the girl, as if they were performing on stage. And they light up the dance.

And of course, everyone’s favorite flowers from radishes or radishes also come out beautifully.

Or you can get by with slicing altogether.

Well, now I propose to consider souvenirs that will be made mainly from cabbage.

By the way, you can take absolutely any kind, iceberg, cabbage, and even broccoli or cauliflower. And create together with other vegetables.

This is what I had to get. This, as you probably guessed, is primarily a white poodle.

And here look at the whole composition of lambs and lambs.

Everyone's favorite bunnies or bunnies, and a perky puppy.

And this miracle won a prize at the competition last year.

Together with the frog princess and it’s not surprising. Who wouldn't like this?

And here, as you can see, is a Russian family, grandparents and granddaughter.

You can also make a sailboat from cabbage leaves together with zucchini or eggplant.

I liked the idea of a child sitting in cabbage, but unfortunately I couldn’t find such a composition. But I found a chicken. I think you can do it without instructions.

Now let's make figurines from eggplants. You can probably immediately guess that the first option will be a penguin.

Here's a hint:

And it turned out to be Pororo the penguin.

The same method can be used to make a dolphin (whale) or a zebra.

Among other things, any transport, for example a helicopter, a tank and many others. See it all for yourself.

And girls will appreciate the shoes.

But from zucchini or squash you can make a terrible beast, this is a shark.

Well, and other sea inhabitants or fish.

And also snakes and even a crocodile.

In general, there are a whole dozen animals, take your pick. And even the queen swan came here.

By the way, if you like acrylic paints, then paint minions or other cartoon characters.

Hmm, the old forest man would fit in perfectly here too.

Well, of all kinds, they are probably the most popular, since you can put all the gifts of nature and autumn in them. I will not dwell on them in detail, if you wish, you can go and read my separate note. Here I will show only a couple of photos.

Toys and souvenirs made from bell peppers are very little popular. But that’s in vain, because such a vegetable is also good for creations. Look at the cute frog creatures that came out.

Or this bright little dragon.

And here is a sea of flowers with tomatoes.

Well, in conclusion, let’s look at crafts made from cucumbers and tomatoes. I propose to make the muzzle or head of a cow or bull. And garnish with parsley or dill.

From cucumbers you can make such a charm, a shark.

In general, there are a great many such ideas, I will show you only a few.

You can make different faces of people and use different vegetables and fruits.

Now let's move on to fruits; first of all, you can make a caterpillar from apples.

Take tangerines or oranges and lay out your masterpieces. The stand is made of pineapple.

Or take pears, grapes, whatever you have, everything will do for such work.

All sorts of funny “products” made from bananas.

Of the pineapples, we mostly came across works in the shape of birds.

The tangerine people look just like cookies from the cartoon.

You can make something like this out of citrus peels, wow, take a look.

Maybe lemon is closer to your soul, I suggest making fish from it.

But from pears, the well-known hedgehog, here is its sequence of all production steps.

38 original and interesting ideas on how to make crafts from vegetables and fruits for kindergarten and school

In addition to all this, I decided to put together a variety of collections of pictures that may be useful to you. When you create your new creations. As you can see, the authors even made vehicles in the form of a stroller and a carriage (car), and managed to make a horse out of a carrot. The rest of the characters are also great, especially Cheburashka and that little mouse. What a beautiful caterpillar.

Boys can, of course, build a steam locomotive or a train with carriages. And girls, for example, Gena the crocodile made from a cucumber or a baby penguin made from eggplant.

Even watermelon rinds will produce a crazy beauty in the shape of a turtle.

But there are generally cheerful guys here, Smeshariki probably visited us. And here the zucchini car meets them.

How surprising, but even from cabbage you can create puppies or adult dogs.

They're pretty, but this first one in the picture doesn't even look like a unicorn.

By the way, here are all the ingredients and sticks, skewers, so that everything stays in place.

If your imagination is tight, here are some ready-made sketches for you. Cool, an ant rides in a car. It’s very simple and such a machine is waiting for you, you only need an eggplant and a couple of other vegetables.

As you can see, a spider was made from radishes, also quite easily and quickly.

Souvenirs and toys in carving style for the holiday Autumn has come (for beginners)

In fact, this technique can be mastered in a couple of hours, the main thing is to find the right tools and have patience. Unfortunately, you can’t do this without special knives.

I suggest that you first master the simplest option and make a chrysanthemum from Chinese cabbage.

To do this, take the cabbage and cut off all the bad leaves.

Then you will need a grooved knife with any oval or triangular cross-section.

And where you see the veins, make cuts to the base.

Do not cut all the way to the top, leave 1.5 cm.

The end result will be a flower that you made yourself.

Or there is another option, carrot cones. Of course, these works are only for beginners; those who have a lot of experience in this matter can make more complex figures.

To start, take a carrot and cut a square stand at the base.

Then round the diameter a little using a knife, cut off the edge.

Now make leaf-shaped cuts.

This is what should happen.

Well, in the end, a pile of such cones.

There is a video on YouTube showing how you can create a rose from vegetables. If you are interested in this technique, you can watch it right now by clicking on the view button.

That's all for me, I hope you liked all the autumn crafts from vegetables and fruits and you already know what you will create. I wish everyone patience and perseverance. And of course victories!

Quick navigation through the article

Are you preparing for a traditional autumn exhibition in kindergarten or school? Or maybe you just want to keep your baby busy on a rainy day in a fun and useful way? In this material we have collected 80 photo ideas of cute and interesting crafts from vegetables and fruits for the little ones and older children.

To connect the parts, use toothpicks, wooden skewers and pins.
In the absence of special tools for carving (artistic cutting of fruits), for cutting out small parts it is worth choosing a knife with the narrowest blade (for example, a penknife will do). Small holes in the peel are most accurately obtained using a drill or screwdriver.
To prevent the fruits from darkening, a solution of vinegar, lemon juice or gelatin diluted in water should be sprayed onto the cuts. If you want to cut out parts from carrots, soak them in salt water for a couple of hours, then they will become more flexible and stronger.
If you make crafts using the carving technique (artistic cutting of fruits) or simply use cut fruits/vegetables, then you should start making crafts no earlier than the day before the start of the exhibition. If you want to make a craft in advance or extend its life as long as possible, use only whole, dense and slightly unripe fruits.
Crafts made from vegetables and fruits (except for watery vegetables/fruits) can be stored for several days in cold water. Watery fruits will remain beautiful longer if they are periodically sprayed with water.

To decorate crafts, it is good to use plasticine, paper, marker, gouache, acrylic paints and all kinds of available materials.

Children under 7 years old can and enjoy making simple figures of animals, funny people and cartoon characters.

For older children, it is more interesting and useful to make crafts that are more detailed and subordinated to some plot or idea. For example, a pirate must steer a ship made of zucchini, and Cinderella must ride in a carriage made of pumpkins.

Do you want to make a spectacular structure that will delight your child and his friends? Make a large craft, for example, based on a pumpkin, watermelon, tall squash or melon.
Here is a list of traditional themes and ideas for children's crafts made from fruits and vegetables:

Towers, houses and castles;
Animals and insects;
Fairy tale and cartoon characters from the Firebird to Shrek;
Still lifes of flowers, plants, mushrooms in baskets and vases;
Funny people (for example, it could be a composition on the theme “My Family” or “me and my friends”, etc.).

Types of transport (airplanes, ships, etc.);

Unstable crafts are best mounted on a stand, such as cardboard, foam, or a shoebox lid.

Autumn crafts from vegetables for an exhibition

In addition to three-dimensional figures, you can try making a mosaic of sliced fruits and vegetables on a dish (then there is no need to glue the craft) or on a board in a frame (then it is better to use fruits/vegetables with dry pulp and attach them with pins or glue).

Vegetable craft ideas

From zucchini and eggplant

Zucchini is good for its variety of sizes, strong skin that holds its shape well, and pulp that does not change color over time, unlike potatoes. Therefore, they are great for carving and making parts of different shapes, such as round wheels.

Zucchini makes excellent boats, ships and airplanes.

Thanks to the dark color of eggplants and their elongated shape, they make beautiful penguins, whales and... zebras.

From pumpkin

Pumpkins are simply created for children's creativity, because they are so bright, round, can be very large or miniature, their peel is easy to carve and remove the pulp.

A classic plot for pumpkin crafts that every girl will love is Cinderella’s carriage.

Pumpkins also make good houses and towers.

Using several pumpkins of different sizes you can make a large bear.

Want to make a fun pumpkin craft quickly and easily? Simply attach or cut out eyes above the tail of the fruit, create a mouth, then put a hat or other accessories on the pumpkin. You will get something like this funny head.

From cucumbers

From cucumbers you can make baby frogs or a frog princess and, of course, Gena the crocodile.

In combination with carrots, cucumbers make good caterpillars, centipedes, snakes and mini-mobiles.

Cucumbers will also help out if your craft needs legs.

From potatoes

To make potatoes easier to cut and more plastic, it is advisable to keep them warm or at room temperature for 3-5 days. After cutting the potatoes, soak them in ice water for 20-30 minutes to remove the starch - this will prevent the cuts from darkening. In general, you can create any figures from potatoes.

To pair with the cucumber crocodile Gena, you can make a potato Cheburashka.

From cauliflower

Cauliflower florets are ideal for making lambs and poodles.

From carrots

Carrots are bright and beautiful, but when cutting out parts they can break. To prevent this from happening and to make the fruits easier to cut, you should use wilted or artificially wilted carrots (keep the fruits in a warm place for a couple of days, and then restore them by soaking them in ice water).

The orange color makes carrots the best material for making giraffes, foxes and other “red” animals.

Here are a couple more cute carrot craft ideas for a kindergarten display.

And finally, we suggest watching a video tutorial on how to make a vegetable craft in the shape of a hare with your own hands.

Fruit craft ideas

From watermelon and melon

Melons and watermelons are the most suitable fruits for carving and making all kinds of crafts due to their shape, dense rind and color.

You can carve a variety of animals from watermelon rind; green turtles, frogs, dinosaurs and the Cheshire tabby cat work especially well.

Baskets with or without beautiful handles can be easily made from half a watermelon. Inside the basket you can put fresh flowers, a bouquet of autumn leaves, flowers cut from fruits and vegetables.

Here are some more cool watermelon and melon craft ideas.

From apples

As we have already mentioned, in order to prevent apple slices from darkening, they need to be left in a solution of citric acid for 15-20 minutes and periodically sprayed with it.

Crafts from fruits for kindergarten

You can also cut small pieces of different shapes from citrus peels using scissors or metal baking molds.

From slices and segments of orange, tangerine, lemon and other citrus fruits you can “paint” cute pictures and pictures.

From grapes

Grapes are well suited for making mini-crafts, such as people or caterpillars.

Grape canapes can be used as legs and arms, as mane, hair or hedgehog needles as in the photo below.

Grapes are also suitable for creating a dark or green background, as in this photo example.

From banana

To make crafts from bananas, choose firm and slightly unripe fruits, and to prevent their peel from turning black, do not put the fruit in the refrigerator, but store it at room temperature.

By the way, bananas make the best figurines of dachshunds and dolphins.

Banana dolphins

“Hedgehog” made from pear and grapes

Hedgehogs, although nice, kind creatures, are still very prickly. Playing with them is very problematic, but these are cute, affectionate and not at all prickly babies, for whom you will need pears and grapes that are not only funny, but also edible. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to prepare these pear and grape crafts for an exhibition at school with your own hands:

Take a large plate and garnish with lettuce leaves, creating a forest setting.
Cut each pear in half, placing the cut on a plate.
Prepare the “grape thorns”: cut toothpicks in half, sand the uneven edges. “Dress” the grapes on the halves of the sticks so that the sharp edge of the toothpicks remains free.
Inject soft needles, leaving space for the head.
For the eyes of the “Hedgehog” craft for a school exhibition, elderberries, chokeberries or peppercorns are suitable.
A small but curious nose will be a pea of allspice.
The dish for the school exhibition is ready!

“Giraffe” from carrots or potatoes

“Autumn” giraffe is a funny and cheerful DIY craft that even little schoolchildren can prepare for a fair at school. You will need:

carrots – 7 pcs.;
potatoes – 2 pcs. (for carrot and potato crafts);
matches;
peppercorns for eyes – 2 pcs.

Wash all vegetables thoroughly and dry.
A larger carrot or oblong potato will be the body of a giraffe.
The smaller one is with the head. If the giraffe is completely "carrot", prepare 4 rectangular figures for the legs.
A long thin carrot will serve as a neck for the DIY “Giraffe” craft.
All that remains is to connect the parts using toothpicks.
Cut off half of the match, leaving the part with the sulfur head for the horns. Gently push into carrots or potatoes.
For the eyes, use pepper or acrylic paints. Don’t forget to draw beautiful spots with them. Leave the craft to dry and feel free to bring it to the school exhibition!

"Caterpillar" made from apples

Autumn fruits are an ideal option for creating unusual crafts. Juicy, ripe, aromatic apples will be an excellent basis for the miracle masterpiece “Caterpillar”. You will need 5-6 apples of approximately the same size, toothpicks for fastening, 1 carrot, several rowan berries, a grape, and a flower for decoration.

Cut the carrots into thin – no more than 5 mm thick – rings.
Prick the apple with a toothpick in the place of the tail, thread one carrot ring and connect it to another apple. Repeat the process to form the “insect” body.
When there is 1 apple left, which will serve as the head, attach it vertically, as shown in the photo.
The remaining vegetable rings will serve as legs for the leisurely caterpillar. Attach the carrot with toothpicks to the bottom sides of the caterpillar.
We attach a grape as a nose.
Chokeberry will replace the eyes and also serve to create funny antennae horns.
A dried flower will turn a caterpillar into a flirtatious lady, and a stylish top hat into an elegant gentleman.
Autumn fruits and rowan berries as decoration will provide an opportunity to show your imagination when making crafts.

How to make “Race Cars” from vegetables and natural materials

The easiest way to make a racing car is to cut half a cored apple into equal large strips, as shown in the photo. Four grapes will pass for wheels. By ensuring the “mass” of such crafts, you can recreate rally racing or an autumn city with cars scurrying through the streets.

Vegetables will serve as an excellent material for a racing car. A middle or high school student can make this craft with his own hands, but kids will need the help of their parents. Cut out the driver's seat in an open supercar with a knife, making the steering wheel out of a small “round” of carrot or cucumber. Vegetable rings are suitable for wheels: zucchini, carrots, attached with toothpicks.

"Turtle"

To make your own “Turtle” craft for an exhibition at school, you will need the following vegetables:

round pumpkin of small diameter;
4 gherkins and one cucumber with a rounded end for the head;
pumpkin seeds – 2 pcs.;
sunflower seeds – 2 pcs.;
toothpicks for fastening.

Wash and cut the pumpkin in half. Remove seeds and pulp.
Carefully cut out the design with a knife, repeating the shape of the turtle shell.
On the four sides of the body, make small semicircular arches into which attach the gherkins. These will be the animal's paws.
Using toothpicks, attach a small piece of a rounded cucumber - this will be the head.
Attach a pumpkin seed and half a sunflower husk with plasticine to form eyes. Glue it to the head with double-sided tape or plasticine.
This wonderful homemade vegetable turtle will certainly impress the kids at the autumn fair and exhibition at school!

"Vase"

Bulk vegetables with thick skin - zucchini or zucchini, eggplant, pumpkins, melons; “Wonderful” fruit - pineapple will be an ideal basis for creating an autumn craft “Vase with Flowers” for an exhibition at school with your own hands. To make the vase stable, you need to cut a small circle at its base. Determine the required height by cutting off the excess part. Then use a knife to remove the core of the vegetable or fruit.

If desired, decorate the surface of the craft with an intricate or simple design. Autumn flowers - oak trees, asters, marigolds - will look beautiful in a vase. Want to make your DIY craft for your school display look truly autumnal? Collect yellow maple leaves and make magical roses, like in our photo. Form flowers by fastening with thread or wire.

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 off the upper part longitudinally. 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 parts are well fixed with toothpicks. For decoration, you can use grass, flowers - it all depends on the child’s preferences.

A ship with scarlet sails made of 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 a small child will not be able to 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, carrots or beets - whoever has what at home. There is no ideal manufacturing scheme here. For a craft to be unique, you must bring something of your own to it, so feel free to experiment.

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 you have at home is round in shape, you shouldn’t upset it - 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 you don’t want to spend a lot of time making autumn crafts for school, you 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. It doesn’t matter what the additional elements will be made of - carrots, zucchini of a different color, cardboard, plasticine. 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:
