If your child still doesn’t know anything about the inhabitants of the garden, then, apparently, it’s time to introduce him to them. Research into the variety of sizes, colors and shapes of fruits and vegetables is best done in game form. And if previously kids saw them only in the form of purees and salads, now with the help of imagination and our section you can make them from any carrot or potato beautiful souvenir or a funny toy. And although such a work of art will not serve you for long, it is nevertheless worth it.

Such classes are good because they can be carried out not only in kindergarten under the supervision professional educators, but also at home under the supervision of mother or other adults. Children simply adore this pastime and can’t wait to see the annual “harvest” of useful and tasty materials for their crafts.

But in addition to various vegetables, be sure to stock up on auxiliary material in advance that will help secure parts of some vegetable character. These can be toothpicks, leaves, sticks, feathers and twigs.

Even if your baby does not immediately master the technique of such crafts, do not rush to throw everything out of sight. Be patient, help your baby, tell him what he is doing wrong. Do them together with your child, since a living example is the best thing that can help your baby master this labor-intensive process.

Everything is just the most interesting! How to make eclairs, lemons from bottles, sew vegetables and berries, make them from papier-mâché.

Food is a pleasant topic for many. Products run out quite quickly, and only memories remain from delicious cakes and fruits. But you can make sure that they will always be before your eyes, and even decorate the interior. Don't believe me? Then find out how to achieve it.

How to make eclairs from plastic bottles?

Look how delicious the cakes look. But do not forget to warn your home and visiting guests that these eclairs cannot be eaten, they can only be admired.


To make such a sweet that will always be in the house, take:
  • 3 plastic bottles of 0.5 l;
  • foil;
  • salt;
  • PVA glue;
  • acrylic paints;
  • scotch;
  • thin white foam;
  • Styrofoam;
  • white fom;
  • glue gun;
  • tassels.
We will make two cakes at once. Cut the necks of two bottles, cut the top of one with a fringe. This is necessary in order to insert this bottle into another. This will result in a single piece with two bottoms.


Unfold the foil, place this blank on it, and next to it another, but whole bottle without a lid. Wrap them in foil and place in the oven for two minutes. Homemade eclair also needs to be baked, but these pieces are placed in a hot place to make them more pliable. When you take them out of the oven, press down on the top of the foil until the bottles become oval.


Cut the whole container in half, you only need the part with the bottom. She will play the role of half of the cake. A blank of two bottles must be taped at the junction.

Pour PVA glue into a convenient container. Sprinkle salt on the board. Lubricate the blank from a plastic bottle with a brush with glue, then roll it over the salt, which will stick well to this base.


Set these future eclairs aside to dry. After this, you need to brush off the excess salt with your hands or a brush. Cut a small cone shape from the foam. Lubricating it with silicone from glue gun, glue a sheet of thin white foam rubber here. You will need to wrap the foam piece around a couple of times.


The strip of foam rubber will imitate the dough, and the foam will imitate the inner white cream.

Now insert this blank with the cone-shaped part inside the bottle. This part must fit firmly and well into it. Place the bottle on the board on its side, sharp knife cut off the excess to get a nice even cut.


Now yellow acrylic paint coat the surface of the cakes. To highlight the dough of the eclair halves with this color, apply it with a thin brush along the contour of the cut, painting here the white foam rubber.


Cut a rectangular blank from white foamirant and round the edges. Its shape practically repeats the appearance of the cake from above.


Glue this part using a glue gun, trim off the excess.

Now generously pour silicone here from the glue gun. To do this, prepare the silicone rods in advance so that they do not run out in the middle of the process.


Wait for this glue to dry, after which you need to paint over it with brown acrylic paint to create a delicious glaze. The photo clearly shows how to make such an eclair.


Make the icing for the second cake in the same way, after which you can place them on decorative dishes, but it is better to place them not on the table, but behind glass in a cabinet. After all, these cakes are so similar to the real thing, they look very appetizing, you need to be careful so that no one wants to try them “for the tooth.”

If for a competition in kindergarten you need to bring a craft, this will be a great way out of the situation. But the teacher must also be vigilant so that children cannot take such artificial sweets.

The next craft also looks like the real thing. Therefore, you also need to warn everyone who looks at it that it is not edible.

How to make lemon at home?

For this craft, take:

  • small bottles;
  • sharp knife;
  • PVA glue;
  • salt;
  • acrylic paints;
  • scotch;
  • thin brush.
Look at what bottom pattern the taken ones should have. plastic bottles. On the right is the container from which you will make slices and lemon slices.


From the bottom of the bottle, cut a piece approximately 7 cm high; you can vary this value at your discretion to make a lemon of the desired size. Cut strips of it on top, the distance between them is 1 cm, their length is the same.


As in the first case, such a fringe will help to better fit the second part of the bottle onto this one. But from the second bottle you need to cut off the bottom, the height of which is very small, about 1.2 cm.


Compare these two blanks, seal the junction with tape. Lubricate the surface of one and the second bottle with glue and sprinkle with salt.


In this case, the bottom, which is inserted into this container, does not need to be lubricated. To make lemon wedges, cut the bottoms of plastic bottles so that the height of these blanks is about 1 cm or slightly less. Only the sides need to be coated with PVA glue and sprinkled with salt. While the glue dries, you can go about your business.


Then you need to remove excess salt with your hands. If this is not done, then the paint will fly off along with these grains when you cover the surface of the fruit with it.

To ensure the brightest color of the final work, it is better to first cover the surface with white acrylic paint; when it dries, use the one you need.


This is how elegant the blanks painted with white acrylic look.


Now the skin of the lemon and its slices need to be painted with bright, juicy yellow paint. So that the pulp has realistic color, mix white, beige paint, add a little yellow. This composition should be applied with a thin brush to the lemon slices, but leave white veins and a light edging.


When the paint dries, place the juicy lemon and its slices on a plate. Let everyone who sees such beauty praise your golden hands and be surprised that such a bright, realistic lemon can be made from a plastic bottle.

How to make a candle in the shape of a watermelon with your own hands?


The main component will also be a plastic bottle, but small and round shape. Here's what you'll need to transform it:
  • a piece of foam;
  • sharp knife;
  • small round candle;
  • expanded clay;
  • acrylic paints.
Move down from the bottle cap and cut here with a sharp knife.


To round the edges of this container, making them less sharp, apply this cut to a heated iron for a few seconds.



Place foam in front of you. Turn the blank over from the bottle, place it cut side down on this material, and use a pencil to draw a circle along these contours. Cut it out, draw another circle inside, its diameter is equal to the diameter of the candle. Make this internal notch.


Pour expanded clay or other clay into a plastic bottle decorative stones, place on top foam blank for a candle.


On the outside, paint the blank made from a plastic bottle, as well as from foam plastic, with white acrylic paint. Apply green on top of it, of course, when the previous layer has dried.


Cover the top of the white with red paint to create the pulp of the fruit.


Now, on top of the dried green paint, you need to draw black stripes of the watermelon; they do not have to be straight, make them openwork.


All you have to do is put a candle inside, light the wick and you can indulge in romantic dreams by the fire.

How to make vegetables and fruits: master class

We will make them from papier-mâché. To do this, take:

  • newspapers;
  • paste or PVA glue;
  • foil;
  • scotch;
  • colored or corrugated paper, or tissue paper.
If you are making this craft with your child, then show him how to make vegetables and fruits from similar materials. Let the children crumple the newspaper with their own hands and give it the desired shape. Now you need to secure this paper with foil and secure it with tape on top so that it does not unwind.


The next batch of newspaper sheets should also be kneaded well, then dipped in PVA or glue prepared with your own hands. To do this, you can mix flour or starch with water, put it on the fire, and bring to a boil with frequent stirring.

When this glue has cooled, you need to dip newspapers into it and distribute them over the surface of the foil fruit. Place the blanks on a tray and put them in a warm place, for example, under a radiator, to dry completely. Only then proceed to registration.

To do this, you need to generously grease colored, corrugated or tissue paper with paste or PVA, and paste these blanks over future fruits and vegetables.


Look what wonderful crafts will work out. Place them in a bowl. Place it on your table or nightstand for decoration.


There is another way that will tell you how to make fruits and vegetables with your own hands from papier-mâché.
  1. This requires real products. If you want to use them for food later, then use only natural paste made from flour or starch.
  2. Pour it into a bowl and place the torn pieces in it. paper napkin, remove the mixture with a spoon with holes, called a slotted spoon. Then the excess glue will flow off.
  3. The paper composition must be applied to the selected object, for example, a banana, orange or apple. The layer should be sufficient. Then also put the crafts in a warm place.
  4. When they are dry, carefully cut the paper layer of each fruit in the middle to remove the two halves of the hardened papier-mâché mass. To give them integrity, connect them again by gluing the cut area.
  5. Further, such blanks are designed at your own discretion. You can cover them with colored paper or paint them.


If you want to make halves of an apple, then you do not need to glue 2 pieces of paper together; on the contrary, you need to fill them with a mixture of newspaper or napkins mixed with glue. When the pieces are dry, prime them with putty. After this mass has dried, it must be sanded and then covered with acrylic paints.

For this type of work you will need:

  • paper napkins;
  • fruits and vegetables;
  • paste;
  • Bowl;
  • sandpaper;
  • acrylic paints;
