Every autumn in kindergartens and primary school schools come thematic exhibitions under common name"Gifts of Autumn" And the main ones actors They feature crafts made from vegetables and fruits.
From zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, melons, watermelons, apples, grapes and other natural materials from branches and beds you can make:
- Figures of animals, birds, cartoon characters, people
- Constructions - appliances, houses, household items, dishes
- Flat paintings and panels with different subjects
- Flowers and animals using carving technique (not to be confused with)
Artistic carving of vegetables and fruits
Another technique for making crafts from vegetables or fruits with your own hands is Carving(cutting out). This is when everything unnecessary is cut off from the original form and a new figure is obtained, similar to something or someone.
Banana, eggplant and broccoli dog
Watermelon turtle
Watermelon dinosaur head
Zucchini shoes
Pig salad bowl with watermelon, berries and melon
Watermelon submarine
Bell pepper frogs
You can also cut flowers from vegetables and fruits. Will help sharp knife and our master class.
Master class “Bouquet of pepper tulips”
The flowers turn out to be very authentic, especially after 12 hours - the wilted petals close, closing around the centers. But this does not spoil the view.
Photo after 12 hours
To work you will need:
- fleshy bell pepper- yellow and red
- cherry tomatoes - small and even
- barbecue sticks
- squash (for base)
- vase - ours is woven from paper tubes
- mug
- red cabbage leaves, green hot peppers and viburnum sprigs - for decoration
- tapeplant
Using a sharp, short knife, we cut out the peaks on the pepper, trying to ensure that both halves are neat and go to work. We wash one part, where the testes are, in water, removing the seeds and core. This can be done by hand.
Now we place the flowers on a skewer, leaving 2 cm in the middle for attaching tomatoes. We tape the stem.
The side without the base of the pepper is very soft and can quickly slide down the stem. We make a support at the bottom - we reinforce the top with electrical tape, and then on top of it - green tape.
We put a small squash into the mug - this is the basis for the bouquet. You can also use a small pumpkin or green zucchini for the vase.
We set up the bouquet. We decorate it with cabbage leaves, viburnum branches, and green hot peppers.
Crafts with added decorative elements
You can add decor from other materials to vegetables and fruits: plasticine, foamiran, feathers, material, as well as beads, buttons, berries.
This is how potato piglets appear:
Pumpkin fashionista:
Watermelons and pumpkins make wonderful samovars, teapots, flower vases, clocks and funny Halloween masks.
And “Cross” offers you another master class.
Master class “The Wise Turtle”
Tortilla doesn't need any introduction. This famous character works "The Golden Key", which is loved by all readers. The turtle is a symbol of wisdom, so we will make a fairy-tale hero.
We will need:
- half a head of cabbage
- large dark green cucumbers (without pimples)
- wooden toothpicks and 3 skewers
- base - flat plate and greens
- floral wire
- fabric for a cap, braid, needle and thread
- scissors for cutting toothpicks
- eyes
Let's start with the shell. Cut the cucumbers into slices of equal thickness. Divide the toothpicks in half with scissors or a knife.
If you break the toothpicks with your hands, you will get uneven, furry edges, and they will ruin the overall picture of the shell.
We attach each circle to the cabbage base with 3 wooden “nails”. This is enough to hold the cucumber.
For the head, cut the end of the cucumber to the required length. We select it so that the head and neck are similar - round and even.
For the beauty of the craft, we decorate the place where the neck is attached to the body with a cucumber “washer”: we make a circle of cucumber, remove the middle and put the neck on the blank.
In the body we will provide a place for the neck and select some leaves from the cabbage.
When the entire shell is ready, we will attach the turtle’s head and neck here with skewers.
We make eyes, roll the wire in the form of glasses. We make a cap from a circle of fabric.
We make legs from four columns of cucumber and attach them to toothpicks. Place the turtle on a flat plate. For beauty, we cover it with red cabbage leaves. You can use any greens.
For the surroundings - tagetes flowers, and the image of the wise and sometimes even flirtatious turtle Tortilla is completed!
An excellent and long-lasting version of turtle is made from green zucchini squash.
Secrets and subtleties of creating crafts
- Before starting work, all vegetables must be washed, dried, and then used as material for creativity.
- Wooden toothpicks, skewers, and floral wire will help.
- It is imperative to take into account that crafts made from vegetables or fruits have a short shelf life. Soft tomatoes and juicy cucumbers, for example, quickly “leak”, and this must be taken into account when composing compositions.
- It is better to use “long-term” vegetables and root vegetables: potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, cabbage, onions.
- Ideally, crafts should be prepared immediately before the exhibition, if time permits.
- It is best to place each craft on a base/stand. Otherwise, the composition will not have a logical conclusion.

Children's crafts made from natural materials
In this article you will find more than 25 ideas for making crafts with children from natural materials (leaves, branches, seeds, chestnuts, acorns, vegetables and others) in different techniques. All master classes in this article were prepared for you by readers of “Native Path”, participants in the competition.
Craft 1: Maple Leaf Roses
This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Baranova and her daughter Lera and Lera’s teacher from the children’s MBDOU garden No. 3 "Rowan" ( junior group) Inza Ulyanovsk region. And also Khabibullina Liliya Rustamovna (Madou "Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type" of the Moskovsky district of Kazan) and Davletberdina Malik (5 years old).
Material for making:
- Maple leaves bright colors(orange, yellow, red),
- twigs with viburnum berries,
- raw threads for forming a bouquet of roses,
- golden hairspray to strengthen and strengthen the bouquet (optional),
- several strong branches to strengthen the bouquet of roses.
How to make a bouquet of roses from maple leaves:
Preparing to make crafts: We collect suitable leaves of various colors. We need fairly large, not too dry and whole leaves. Leaves that are too small, dry, diseased, or torn are not suitable for making a bouquet. To make one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.
Step 1. Take one Maple Leaf, hold it with the stem facing you and fold it in half front side out. Next, we roll it into a tight roll - a tube. This will be the “core of the rose,” that is, the middle of the flower.
Step 2. Now we begin to lay the “petals” around this “core” of the flower. We take another maple leaf, hold it the same way - with the petiole facing us - and place a prepared tube-like core on it, closer to the petiole, in the middle of the leaf. The front side of the leaf should be inside the future flower. We very carefully bend the sheet in half outward. The edge of the bend of the “petal” is located above the “core” by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.
And now we bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward again, but do not smooth out the fold. We try not to compress the fold and keep it elastic.
Step 3. Take the next maple leaf and make a second petal on the other side of our center - the tube. We continue further until we get a rose flower. Each time you need to take a maple leaf a little larger than the previous one.
Step 4. Having decorated the flower, you need to wrap the base tightly with threads. A strong thin twig can be tightly tied to the base to give the flower strength.
Step 5. Having collected a bouquet of several roses and decorated it with viburnum branches, you need to tightly wrap all the branches with thread again, collecting them into a bouquet.
How many flowers there will be in your bouquet is up to you. We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now finished bouquet at its base with the same threads.
Here's ours autumn bouquet roses from maple leaves and you're ready!
Step 6. To add strength, beauty and shine, you can spray the finished roses with golden hairspray. But this is optional.
Another option for decorating such a bouquet of maple leaves was made by the family of Margarita Kasanova (5 years old), Kazan, MADOU “Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type”, Moskovsky district of Kazan. Teacher - Kalmykova Olga Dmitrievna
Craft 2: corn
This craft was sent to our “Autumn Workshop” competition by teacher Elena Anatolyevna Rim (Moscow State Budgetary Educational Institution “School No. 166”, Structural Unit No. 7). And Yulia Terekhina (5 years old), Elena Anatolyevna’s pupil, performed the corn.
How to make the “Corn Corn” craft:
Step 1. Prepare corn cobs (large, medium and small), cardboard base for crafts, hot glue, fern leaves, fir cones, acorns, leaves, nuts, cereals (barley), decorations for corn (bows, hats, beads, eyes, etc.)
Step 2. Form the corn cobs into characters.
Step 3. Place on cardboard base Corn and decorate the surface waste material. The craft is ready! Good luck!
Craft 3: autumn forest.
This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Yuryevna Kazakova. And Anna’s four-year-old son Maxim completed it during drawing classes under the guidance of teacher Alexandra Vladimirovna (the “Happy Childhood” club, the “Kalyaka-Malyaka” drawing circle for children, Yoshkar-Ola).
You will need:
- landscape sheet of A 4 format,
- autumn leaves,
— watercolor paints,
brush.
Step by step description:
Step 1. Bring back autumn leaves from a walk.
Step 2. Color the white space of the album sheet as the background. Next, on a sheet of paper, draw vertical lines - trunks autumn trees.
Craft 4: Old Man Lesovichok
This craft was sent by teacher Tatyana Vladimirovna Fedorova from Birsk (Bashkortostan), MADOU Kindergarten No. 8 “Alenushka”. It was made by a child from Tatyana Vladimirovna’s group ( senior group) with the help of a teacher.
Craft material: larch needles and cones, plasticine. All the parts of the forest tree made from natural materials are fastened together with plasticine.
Craft 5: Hedgehog Applique
This hedgehog was made and sent to our autumn competition children's creativity Sofia (5 years old) and her mother Anna Shikhareva.
Material for making crafts- pine needles, felt, pine cone, cardboard and PVA glue.
If you prefer not applique, but a voluminous hedgehog, then you can easily make it with children from a piece of plasticine, dried chestnut skin and trimmed cotton swabs. But this is a really prickly hedgehog, so be careful. This hedgehog was made by Yulia Romanovna Ruzaeva and her daughter (2 years 8 months) from St. Petersburg. And you will find another craft by Yulia and her daughter, “Giraffe made from chestnuts and acorns,” in the master class in the article
Craft 6. Hedgehog made from piaflora and natural materials
And here is another hedgehog using a different manufacturing technology. It was made and sent to us by Mironets Anna Vladimirovna (mother) and her son Maxim (4 years 9 months) from the Komi Republic, Syktyvkar.
To make the craft we will need:- piaflor, - dried leaves of rowan, gooseberry, serviceberry, - dried flowers, - hairspray.
Description of the craft:
Step 1. Take half a brick of piaflora and cut out the body of a hedgehog from it (it will be shaped like a droplet). Sharp corners must be smoothed out with your hands. Piaflor does not need to be soaked.
Step 2. Divide the dried rowan leaves into separate leaf plates, which are then inserted into the piaflor (into the body of the hedgehog).
Step 3. Hedgehog ears can be made from dried gooseberry leaves. And we’ll make the paws from dried serviceberry leaves.
Step 4. Fold the leaf cuttings several times. We make eyes and a nose out of them.
Step 6. Secure our craft with hairspray. This is the kind of hedgehog you will get.
Craft 7. Caterpillar and hedgehog made from chestnuts
This craft was made and sent to us at our “Autumn Children's Crafts Workshop” by 4-year-old children together with their teacher Olga Nikolaevna Tegaeva (Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Shemetovo village, Novy district, MGBOU d/s no. 75 "Fairy Tale")
To make this craft you will need:
Chestnuts,
- moss,
- branch cut,
- acorn cap,
- tree leaf,
- plasticine.
How to make a caterpillar and a hedgehog from chestnuts:
— We dry the chestnuts to make it easier to separate the prickly skin from the nut.
— While the chestnut nuts are not completely dry, we pierce them with an awl on both sides and insert matches without heads into the resulting holes (for reliability, we glue the matches with glue).
— We form a caterpillar. To do this, select the nuts by size, starting from largest to smallest.
— Glue an acorn cap onto the caterpillar’s head.
— We make caterpillar eyes out of plasticine and attach them.
— Glue the caterpillar onto the stump.
- Now we make a hedgehog from plasticine, and make its prickly back from chestnut peel.
— We place a maple leaf, ironed through sheets of white paper, on the hedgehog’s spines.
— We spread the moss.
This is the kind of hedgehog - the caterpillar's friend - you can do.
Craft 8. Basket of pine cones
This craft was made by Polina Durnova (9 years old, Samara, school 118, grade 4B), Maxim Durnov (2 years old) with Durnova’s mother Svetlana from Samara, Krasnaya Glinka village. First, Svetlana and the children tried to make a basket of cones according to the description on the Internet using a glue gun, but...a day later the resulting basket lost its shape and “went” to different sides. Therefore, Svetlana came up with her own technology for making a basket of cones.
How to make a basket of pine cones:
Step 1. Go to the forest, collect a lot of cones.
Helpful Tips:
— If you want to make a durable basket that will serve you for a long time, then you need to take into account this possible fact: closed cones open in a warm room. And this is undesirable if by this time you have already woven the basket. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the cones with a liquid solution of wood glue.
— The strongest connection of cones into a basket is a connection with wire Brown(in the color of the cones so that it is less noticeable). To do this, wrap the first cone with wire, then continue to wrap the cones around the wire in a circle, wrapping each of them. We do this until we get a circle the right size. We do this for 2 - 3 rings. And then we connect them into a frame. Connect the pine cones into a basket using a glue gun. But in the next steps you need to secure this structure.
Step 2. Using thin wire, fasten three rings, then connect them into a single basket structure and screw the handle on top. Cones for the handle are also wrapped with thin wire and then tied with wire to a thick base of the handle or thick wire.
Step 3. Place a cardboard circle on the bottom of the resulting structure. Place rowan branches with berries and spruce cones in a basket. The result will be a beautiful autumn composition.
Craft 9: Autumn Ship
Autumn is the time of colorful ships made of leaves, which set off on a voyage known only to them through the endless airspace. The main thing is that the wind is fair. It's time to make your autumn ship.
This ship was made and sent to us at our autumn workshop of children's crafts by Svetlana Nikolaevna Matveeva (Liski, Voronezh region) together with her son (child's age - 3 years 8 months).
To make a craft - a ship from natural materials - you will need:
- plastic tray for food,
- several leaves that can be found on the street (it is better that at least three leaves of them are large sizes- we use them for sails),
- a stick for a sail with a length of 20 to 30 centimeters,
- several thin sticks for making handles,
- plasticine different colors,
- glue stick,
- ate a few cones,
— parachute seeds of maple or ash maple (optional, optional)
How to make a craft - a boat from natural materials:
Step 1. Make the torso and head of the sailors. The sailors' torso will be cones. From pieces of plasticine we sculpt eyes, a mouth and noses, which we attach to the bumps so that we get the faces of sailors.
Step 2. We make caps for sailors - big shots.
For this:
— Using caps of various diameters, we draw circles on colored paper - the future caps of our sailors (choose the diameter of the circle of the appropriate size).
- Cut out circles.
— From paper of a different color, cut out several thin strips, calculating two strips per circle (the length is arbitrary, but keep in mind that these will be visor ribbons, so do not overdo it with the length).
— Glue two strips to each capless mug close to each other.
— In the center of each capless circle we glue a piece of plasticine the size of one or two beans.
- We attach these caps to the tops of our cones - the sailors now have caps.
Step 3. We make the arms and legs of the sailors.
- Determine where your sailors will have their hands and glue a couple of pieces of plasticine there, to which you attach small thin sticks - these will be the sailors’ hands.
— We make the legs from plasticine. The shape of the legs should resemble flippers so that the bump stands and does not fall in our ship. To make legs, we sculpt from pieces of plasticine the size of Walnut“sausages” are small but thick, and then we flatten them and attach them to the bottom of our cones.
The sailors are ready.
Step 4. Making the sails. Using a large stick, we make holes in several large leaves, and we pull the latter through this stick to make several sails on one mast. The junctions of the leaves with each other can be slightly glued with plasticine, then the leaves will not move towards each other and fall down.
We placed a basket of ash maple “helicopters” at the top of the mast. To do this, we simply covered a piece of plasticine with these helicopters, dividing them into single seed plates, and then glued this piece of plasticine to the top of the mast. However, such a “basket” is not necessary if you have no “helicopter” seeds.
Step 5. Attach the mast to the base of the ship.
To attach the mast to a ship from a plastic tray, we glue a piece of plasticine slightly smaller than a walnut to the tray approximately in the middle (don’t skimp on the plasticine, we need the mast to hold tightly). We insert our mast into it. For better fastening of the mast, you can stretch the plasticine a little along the trunk of our mast.
Place our sailors in the empty spaces in the boat tray, lightly pressing their flippers and legs to the bottom so that they stick and hold firmly on the deck. Along the sides of the ship, you can glue leaves of different trees and/or flowers onto pieces of plasticine, but this is not necessary - see for yourself what you like best. It is also not necessary to put a dragon's head on the bow of your ship.
The bow of the ship can be anything, but we made a dinosaur head out of plasticine and attached it to the bow of our ship.
The autumn ship is ready and can go to any fairy tale that you want to create with your child!
Craft 10. Picture for V. Suteev’s fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” made from natural materials
Four-year-old children, Katerina Mochalova, Adele Kuchieva, Kolya Krupennikov, Vlad Sbudyshev, Anatoly Akhtemenchuk and Yana Mukhantseva, made this craft for dramatizing Suteev’s fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” together with their teacher. Teacher - Denisova Svetlana Aleksandrovna. Children go to kindergarten MADOU d/s No. 2 “Caramel” ShchMR MO in the city of Shchelkovo, Moscow region.
Preparatory stage: watching the cartoon “Mushroom Teremok”, reading the fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” by V. Suteev.
Materials for making crafts based on a fairy tale from natural materials:
- pine and spruce cones
- plasticine
- wire
- mushroom toy
- base for crafts
- maple, rowan leaves
- corrugated paper
- scissors
- PVA glue
- pine twig
- matches
- cork
Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:
Step 1. Prepare the base.
We cover the A4 size box with green corrugated paper. On this paper we glue maple leaves, previously ironed through sheets of white paper.
Step 2. We make trees as decorations.
Take a piece of plasticine, roll it into a ball and knead it until you get a round cake. We insert a rowan leaf, previously ironed through a sheet of paper, onto this cake with a branch facing up. You can also insert it into a “cake” and pine twig. Such trees decorate our foundation.
Step 3. Attach a large mushroom.
In the middle of the base we attach the finished mushroom - either to plasticine or glue.
Step 4. D Let's look at the main characters of the fairy tale (ant, butterfly, sparrow, bunny, fox).
All heroes are made from pine cones and plasticine.
How to make fairy-tale characters from pine cones and plasticine:
Ant:
Take a fir cone. The narrow tip of the cone is pulled out using brown plasticine. Eyes made of black plasticine are attached to the “head” of the ant. The paws can be made from wire, attaching them evenly over the entire cone with plasticine. We make the antennae of the ant from 2 matches without heads.
Sparrow:
The toy is created from a pine cone, the eyes are made from two small corks, the paws are made from three matches (attached to plasticine). The beak and tail are made using plasticine: attach the plasticine to the pine cone and stretch it into the desired shape.
Butterfly:
A butterfly can be created from a fir cone by attaching two multi-colored circles of corrugated paper to it using wire. To do this, a hole is pierced in the paper (from the edge of the circle closest to the cone), a wire is threaded into the resulting hole and the wing is attached to the component part of the cone. The same action must be done from the other end. The butterfly's head can be made from plasticine by attaching it to the body of the toy on the narrow side of the cone.
Hare: the toy consists of a fir cone and blue plasticine. The paws, ears and head are molded from plasticine. We also make the eyes from platinum of a different color.
Fox: The fox is easy to make. We will need a fir cone and orange plasticine. The fox's muzzle is molded from a plasticine orange sausage and stretched out in the shape of a fox's nose. A black nose is attached to the muzzle.
Step 5. We make a composition based on a fairy tale.
Let's put the heroes under a mushroom. We attach the butterfly in the corner to the base of the composition.
We wish you creative fantasies and imagination, and then you will have your own fairy tale!
Craft 11. Apple caterpillar
This craft was made by Danila Ankushev together with his parents from Strekhninsky kindergarten(senior group “Friendly Family”). And teacher Elena Yaroslavtseva sent us a craft for the autumn workshop.
How to make a caterpillar: The caterpillar's body is made from apples. We make the legs out of earplugs (sold at the pharmacy). Wooden toothpicks are used to hold the parts together. The craft is decorated with a grape snail shell.
Another option for making caterpillars from apples was sent to us from Kungur Perm region(MADO "Kindergarten No. 6"). This caterpillar was completed by Arina Kulyashova, 6 years old. Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna.
How else can you make a caterpillar from apples: option 2.
This caterpillar is made from apples. The apples are held together with toothpicks. The legs are carved from carrots. They also hang on to toothpicks and walk on autumn leaves glued to a landscape sheet. The fashionista dressed up in chokeberry beads. Berries are collected on a string. The eyes are made of red rowan and are also held on by toothpicks. The caterpillar wore it instead of a hat beautiful flower, hooked it on herself with a toothpick and went to the fair.
Arina created such a cheerful caterpillar made from natural materials.
Craft 12. Cheerful family made of acorns
Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina made this and the next three crafts from natural materials with her children, together with her son Vanya (4 years old) and daughter Masha (1 year 3 months), Barnaul, Altai Territory. Here's what Alexandra writes:
To make this craft you will need:
- a piece of branch or tree bark,
- acorns,
- black marker,
- glue gun or Moment glue.
How to make a cheerful family from natural materials:
Step 1. Draw faces.
I showed my son how to draw a face on an acorn. Gave it to him permanent marker and acorns and left him. These are the weird faces we got.
Step 2. Glue the hats on our little people.
We glued the hats on with Moment glue.
Step 3. Attach the family.
But I had to tinker with gluing it to the bark. I spread Moment glue on the bark. Place something rectangular behind it so that the craft will hold while gluing, place the acorns on the bark and leave them to stick.
Please note: Moment glue can only be used by an adult without the presence of children in a well-ventilated area, because it's toxic. Instead of glue, you can use a safety glue gun; an adult can also use it.
All! The cheerful family is ready.
Craft 13. Interior craft “Autumn Branch”
We made a beautiful interior craft. My son made it himself. The main thing is that it is done very simply.
Step 1. We found more interesting branches in the forest and brought them home.
Step 2. Dried the leaves in books between the pages.
Step 4. Then we decided to complement our composition and make owls from plasticine and place them on autumn branches.
To do this, we took cones, maple seeds (“helicopters”) for the wings and plasticine.
I made the first owl, my son made the second.
We attached them to the branches using plasticine and they held up well.
Like this beautiful composition decorates our home now! And, most importantly, this craft is very easy to make.
Another option for making an autumn branch was sent to us by Natalya Oshueva (Balashikha) and her son Oshuev Vanya (3 years 8 months).
Autumn branch on the wall: second version of the mobile
Natalya writes: “I first laminated the leaves. My son and I cut them out, made holes and threaded strings. The branch was found on the street. They hung it with leaves. The end result was a branch with fallen leaves.”
Craft 14: hedgehogs made from pine cones and salt dough
Alexandra Naumkina shared with us her experience of making hedgehogs with her son.
Step 1. We kneaded salty dough together with my son. He loves baking so much that he kneads all the dough himself, and I just tell him what to use and in what proportion.
Salt dough recipe (proportions): wheat flour - 2 cups, fine salt - 1 cup, water - 3/4 cups. Ready dough It should not crumble or stick to your hands.
Step 2. We molded two hedgehogs together: mother and baby. Here I gave more of the final shape. We stuck the cones in and put the oven in the oven.
Step 3. The next day (after the hedgehogs had cooled down), we painted them with gouache paint. But if you need hedgehogs for a longer period, then it is better to use acrylic paints. We sculpted a nose from plasticine and glued on the eyes.
My son and I were just studying it, so my son became so interested in sculpting mushrooms from plasticine that he himself sculpted a lot of different mushrooms for hedgehogs.
Craft 15: Autumn leaf mobile
for the development of speech breathing in children
Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina also made this craft from natural materials for her children - Vanya (4 years old) and Masha (1 year 3 months). This family lives in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory.
Alexandra writes:
“Our craft was born, one might say, spontaneously.
Step 1. As a base for the mobile, I cut out a rim from a cardboard disposable plate.
Step 2. I tied a string of yarn onto the resulting headband at approximately the same distance. yellow color. From the same yarn I made a pendant that our craft will hold on to.
Craft 16. Application from seeds “Hedgehog”
This application from natural materials was made by Khaliullin Arthur (6 years old) from the Children's Garden No. 174 of the combined type, Moskovsky district of Kazan. Teacher: Khaliullina Rafida Raisovna.
You will need:
- paper,
- pencil,
- PVA glue,
- seeds,
- colored pencils (markers),
- leaves for decoration,
- spruce branches.
Progress of the craft:
Step 1. Draw a hedgehog with spines on paper. If the child is already old enough, then he can draw a hedgehog himself.
Step 2. Apply a thick layer of PVA glue to the back of the hedgehog. Then we place the seeds on the layer of glue. Make sure that the sharp tips of the seeds are directed in one direction.
Step 3. Color the hedgehog's face and paws with colored pencils.
Step 4. Decorate the background with rowan and birch leaves; cones, spruce branches.
Craft 17. Wheat applique “Lion Cub”
“Wheat Lion Cub” is a children's craft - an applique made of fleece and wheat. This craft is very simple to complete. First, glue ears of wheat onto colored cardboard, and then glue the lion cub’s face on top of it. Glue it with Liquid Nails glue.
This craft was made by a 5-year-old child, and was sent to us by Irina Babarinova from Sergiev Posad (School No. 166 SP No. 7, Moscow) for our competition of children’s crafts.
Craft 18. Lady - Cabbage and Forest Tale
These crafts were made from natural materials by children from Bataysk.
The work is made from a head of cabbage. The eyes, nose, and mouth are made from purchased blanks for soft toys. The head is decorated with a wreath of rowan and leaves. The stand can be anything, it is decorated with material and decorated with leaves.
The forest fairy tale is made from natural materials. The little fairy is made of autumn flowers. Firebird - made from ash cones and seeds. The work is decorated with natural materials collected by the children.
Craft from natural materials 19. Autumn meadow
This craft was sent to us by teacher Liliya Rustemovna Samigullina from Kazan. And this craft was made with the help of adults by Izmailov Rodion (3 years old), a pupil of the MADOU “Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type” in the Moskovsky district of Kazan.
Required material: Box, scissors, PVA glue, plasticine, natural materials (cones, dry leaves, acorns, chestnut peel), toothpicks.
How to make an autumn meadow with children:
Step 1. For the base of the craft, prepare a box. Let's cut off one side of the box so that the autumn meadow is visible.
Step 2. We attach dry leaves inside the box and decorate it with various natural materials (cones, toys, pebbles).
Step 3. Let's do it fairy-tale heroes from chestnuts. We make crafts from fruits that have just fallen from the tree while they are soft (this applies to crafts from chestnuts, acorns and cones).
The main way we will use to fasten the parts of crafts together is with plasticine and toothpicks. For this:
- first, carefully pierce the chestnuts with an awl,
— insert toothpicks into the resulting holes and secure the joints with glue.
In the photo, the bear is made of chestnuts and plasticine, the man is made of chestnuts and acorns, the hedgehog is made of chestnut peel and plasticine, the owl is made of chestnut.
The birds' eyes are made from acorn caps, and the birds' beaks, legs and wings are made from plasticine.
Spiders can also be made from chestnuts. Small holes are made in the chestnut with an awl in the places where the legs will be attached. The spiders' legs are made from toothpicks, which are inserted into the holes in the chestnuts and secured with glue.
Craft 20. Autumn forest

Craft 21. Autumn sun made from natural materials
The idea of this craft was shared with us by Maria Shchukina, mother of two children (Vova - 4 years and 8 months and Anyuta - 1 year and 3 months), St. Petersburg. Maria writes: “This is my favorite autumn craft, and I have been nurturing this idea for a long time. We did it with great pleasure :). We came up with everything ourselves.”
What you will need to make an autumn sun from natural materials:
- PVA glue,
- a lot of autumn leaves from different trees and shrubs (we even collected from rose hips),
- rowan berries,
- dog-rose fruit,
- acorns,
- watercolor paints,
- thread and needle,
- any natural material.
How to make a sun with children from natural materials:
Step 1 On whatman paper in A3 format, draw a large circle and paste it with maple leaves. We collected the leaves in advance, and for some time they were kept in our journal. This way they became very smooth and easily stuck to the paper.
Step 2 Then we use our imagination and also paste in a circle any leaves and natural materials to your taste. The circle becomes more voluminous.
Step 3 Draw the face of the sun: eyes, nose and mouth.
The mood of the autumn sun can be anything - cheerful or sad, surprised or delighted - whatever you feel autumn mood, discuss this with the children when making crafts.
Step 4 Sew rowan earrings on the sun (you can sew on rose hips or any flowers). I used the largest needle and simply sewed the rowan to the Whatman paper as if it were regular fabric. At the same time, on back side Whatman paper I secured the thread with tape. You can also sew on many other decorations.
Step 5 In the upper corners of the Whatman paper we glue the acorns with PVA glue, having previously cut them in half lengthwise. I hope you like our autumn sun from available natural materials :).

Children's crafts made from natural materials on the go
You don't have to make a complicated children's craft. Many crafts from natural materials can be made on the go, without preparation. They can be used as quickly created attributes for children's games. Natalya Mikhailovna Oshueva (Balashikha) shared her ideas with us. Here are some very simple crafts she made with her son Vanya, aged 3 years 8 months, and with her daughter Masha (1 year 4 months).
Wreath of leaves
We collect a lot of leaves while walking and string them on wire. We connect the ends of the wire and get autumn wreath from leaves. We hang the wreath by a rope. We also decorate the rope with leaves.
Crown of leaves
The crown is very simple to make.
Step 1. We made a blank from paper - a “hoop” according to the size of the child’s head, approximately 5 cm wide.
Step 2. We glued double-sided tape on top, and then my daughter glued leaves onto it.
Autumn trees
Natalya writes: “To quickly make autumn trees, we used rolls from toilet paper And corrugated paper, cut into strips. The children pushed the paper inside the roll as best they could. In the end, it turned out well, bright and autumn-like.”
You can also place autumn branches and autumn leaves collected during a walk in a roll.
Pumpkins made from pine cones
In this craft we used fluffy wire. They took a cone and wrapped it in orange fluffy wire. Next, green leaves were attached to it. fluffy wire. To make green spring leaves, we first wound the wire around a pencil, then removed it from the pencil and got green spirals.
Hedgehog
To make the hedgehog we used an eaten sunflower.
— The muzzle and body were cut out of foam plastic. It is better to do this in advance as an adult.
— The top of the muzzle was covered with plasticine.
— The sunflower “needles” were glued to the foam with glue using a hot gun.

Kwaki - crafts made from natural materialsWhat you should know when starting to work on crafts made from natural materials
1. For work can only be used dry and clean parts- everything that will not lose its shape and color over time.
If you take a green cone to work with, it will very soon turn dark brown and possibly dry out. And a clean and dry bud will remain the same for a long time. long years, during which it will continue to delight you.
2. Everything is in nature unique. Even cones from the same tree are different. If you have several parts of the same size and shape, it doesn’t matter, try each of them for the job. Attach and rate. Surely only one will be the most suitable.
3. Small parts
(eyes, nose, mustache and others) You can do as you like. But! They are the ones who give the work a unique charm and make it come alive. Be especially careful and patient with small details!
4. For consolidation parts you can use glue or plasticine.
Glue that stretches (for example, transparent “Moment”) is suitable for this work. You can apply it using a wooden toothpick or match.
If you use plasticine, try to keep the plasticine small and not very noticeable, if possible the same color as the parts being joined.
5. Your work is not a copy of the living world. This - Magic world fairy tales and fantasies. What you do must be recognizable. To do this, you don’t need to complicate the work with details. Less details, more imagination!
6. About what grows on pine and fir trees bumps and needles, everyone knows. Do you know which tree with regular leaves also grows cones? This is a tree - alder. Alder can be found everywhere, but most often near water. Alder cones, although small, are very cute. They fall from the branches in clusters and are easy to find. They can be collected at any time of the year, and in winter they are especially noticeable in the snow.
7. In the forest you can find tinder fungus. It grows on tree trunks and stumps. This mushroom is not eaten. If it is not very large and you like it, cut it off with a knife and take it with you. When it sits for a while and becomes dry, you can use it for your work, for example, for today’s craft.
8. Oak will give you acorn caps. Take only dry and whole ones. Both large and small, both with and without tails, will come in handy. Acorns ripen in the fall, but caps can also be found in the spring. They are usually stored under last year's leaves.
And now, taking these notes into account, you can get to work. Let's do it today original craft made from natural material - a croak frog!
Basic details of the craft
Tinder fungus (not very large);
+ open pine cone with a flat crown;
+ acorn caps.
Look at the pictures! All quacks are made from the listed parts, but they are all very different. Now I will introduce you to them.
Zelik is a little goggle-eyed: small acorn caps are inserted into large ones with the top of the head up.
Tintin has a mischievous look: small acorn caps are inserted into large ones with the top down.
And the pupils of both frogs are made of black peppercorns (can be made of plasticine).
By the way, peppercorns that have been in the soup are also suitable for work. It is easier to cut, but you just need to dry it before using it.
Such eyes, complex in design, can be made if the tinder fungus - the head of the croak - is large enough. But don’t rush to choose a large tinder fungus to work with. Do not forget that we will make the body from a pine cone, and it is very big shots They don’t grow on common pine.
Take the pine cone and, if there is a small “tail” on the top of the head, break it off so that the pine cone can stand up straight. Having placed the cone on the top of the head, press down the protruding needle scales on top so that they begin to look to the sides. Don't be afraid if some of them break, and the central one is broken off completely.
Glue or stick a mushroom frog head onto the crushed scales.
The operation to connect the cone-trunk and head must be performed on a work table. When connecting parts in a canopy, you can tilt the head too far forward or backward, and the croak will not be able to stand
When attaching pre-prepared eyes to the head, place the quack on the table, otherwise you will not see where these eyes will look, and you will not be able to fix them in the right place.
That's all the explanations for this work.
Croaks do not have legs, but anyone you ask will confidently say that they are frogs. They don't need paws to be recognized. But they need names. They are, after all, alive. Names appear naturally when the character of a work is determined.
Here's Zelik. He loves to admire nature, and his name is soft and slightly greenish. And Tintin’s eyes are like ringing bells: “tin-ting.” Namely, “ting-ting”, and not “ding-ding”, because by nature she is kind and gentle.
Your works themselves will tell you their names. Just be attentive and kind to them.
And here are a few more works from the same details: Mlina, Felik, Malya and Lusha with Fenya.
Mlina's eyes are made from acorn caps, into which alder cones are inserted, cut to the required size using scissors.
Long beautiful eyelashes are carved from birch bark. You can bend your eyelashes back a little by grabbing their ends with tweezers. If you don't have tweezers, bend the eyelashes with your fingers, placing a match on the back side. Of course, ordinary frogs don't have these. beautiful eyelashes. But maybe Mlina is the same princess frog?
By the way, if you see a cut or fallen birch tree in the forest, then cut some birch bark from the trunk with a knife. It can be very often useful in your crafts.
But never touch the birch bark of a living tree! Only evil wizards do this, but you are a good one.
To remove birch bark from a lying tree, you need to cut the birch bark with a knife capital letter"P". Then lift the birch bark at the corners and along the top crossbar of the letter “P”, grab the raised area and pull the birch bark towards you. Having torn off “your piece” of birch bark, cut it off.
Now you have enough birch bark for many small miracles.
“Thick” birch bark is not suitable for work, but it can be exfoliated by removing the top (light) layers. If the birch bark dries out and becomes brittle, moisten it with water and put it in plastic bag. It will absorb some of the moisture and will peel off easily again.
Felik's flower eyes are carved from birch bark, and his pupils, like Mlina's, are made from shortened alder cones.
Mali's eyes are acorn caps with a black pupil on them.
Lusha and Fenya have eye pupils made of peppercorns.
The pupils are specially shifted away from the center to give the gaze a certain expression.
When you make these eyes, try different positions for the pupils.
Fantasize boldly! Come up with your own eyes for your croak. Believe me, there are a lot of options, and it’s very interesting to come up with them yourself.
But! Don't rush to do everything in one day. A real wizard, like a real artist, must first think things through.
You have a lot of “details,” but if something is missing for the job, it’s better to wait and not do it somehow. A job done somehow is called unfinished work, and you must learn to work miracles.
Now you know how much the job depends on the execution of certain details. But how to choose the most suitable option? Many years ago, craftsmen were given simple advice: “Do according to samples, but as Beauty tells you.” This means that when you feel that this is how the work will look prettier, then do it that way.
And don't be afraid to make the wrong choice. A person is allowed to make mistakes; this is the only way to gain something very important - experience.
