In kindergartens and schools in the fall, around October-November, the Autumn Festival is celebrated. On this day, children bring to kindergartens and schools things they have made on their own or with the help of their parents.
On the Autumn holiday, exhibitions are held to show how children’s imaginations come true through crafts made from vegetables and fruits.
Very young children show simple children's vegetable products, school-age children are already able not only to show more vivid imagination, but also to make many autumn crafts from vegetables on their own.
Right now, in the autumn, in September-October, there is the largest number of various gifts of nature such as fruits, vegetables, natural materials that help create beautiful and interesting meadows, create a new “image” and “beauty” for vegetables and fruits and invent them different characters.
Crafts from cucumbers
For example, most often cucumbers are used to make Gena the crocodile from the well-known Soviet cartoon. Chestnuts can help complement the creation of Cheburashka.
So, look at the creativity of parents together with their children. How differently cucumbers and potatoes are decorated as crocodile and Cheburashka.
A crocodile can be made from one whole and long cucumber, or it can be made from several. You can decorate with a thin piece of carrot cut figuratively as a scarf and tongue. Cheburashka can be made from raw potatoes by cutting them into slices.
But how cute the frogs turned out. Just like the real thing! This “set” of a couple of frogs is similar to the fairy tale about the Frog Princess. You can play with such beautiful toys and then eat them with gusto. Cucumbers, carrots, and peppercorns were used.
Potato crafts
Potatoes are a fertile material. Using this product as crafts, you can come up with various images and figures. for example, you can pick up a round potato and attach eyes, hands, ears, paws from plasticine and you’ll get Smeshariki!
Potatoes can also be used in the form of a horse, look at what a beautiful horse it turned out to be.
In the fall, such a rich holiday is held to show the children how much nature and the earth have given us vegetables and fruits. Tell them about the benefits of these products and thus broaden the children’s horizons, train their imagination and fine motor skills when creating masterpieces.
When parents are informed that there will be a holiday of autumn gifts, some parents are puzzled by the question of how to make a craft from vegetables.
To make it easier for parents to come up with ideas about what to create and what to use in this creativity, we have selected several interesting ideas of what children did for the autumn holiday and demonstrated at exhibitions.
Hedgehogs
Probably the simplest and most interesting craft is hedgehogs! How to make and what to make hedgehogs from?! They can be made from almost any vegetable or fruit.
We choose a base, such as kiwi, apple (cut in half), potato, a piece of zucchini, beets or radish. And the baby can carefully prick the toothpicks, making needles for the hedgehog.
And on top of the needles, a hedgehog can pin dry autumn leaves, an apple, mushrooms and many different supplies that these little animals pull into their burrow.
Of course, everything needs to be done under the supervision of your mother or another adult. And such actions as, for example, cutting an apple are done by an adult, not a child.
In the process of creating an edible hedgehog, you can even come up with some kind of fairy tale with your child. Let the baby fantasize!
Crafts from zucchini eggplant
Zucchini will do a great job of serving as cars or piglets. Craftswomen also make shoes from zucchini or eggplant. And it looks especially beautiful with carvings on the skin in the form of a pattern.
Eggplants can be used to create very simple penguin characters.
Penguins are very easy to make. The skin is simply cut off and scored along the entire length of the eggplant, but the tail is not cut off at all. We make eyes from what we have, and if there is nothing, then plasticine is used.
Here is a collection of photos of simple but very cute vegetable ideas for creating cool characters.
The snake was made from a long cucumber, peppers and olives were used to create eyes and a “scarf”.
One machine is made using zucchini, zucchini, radishes, and carrots. Everything was connected using toothpicks or matches (of course, after breaking off the sulfur).
The second machine is based on eggplant. Here the wheels have different diameters and a small zucchini went on them.
Another penguins on the island are zucchini and skillfully carved sleighs, bows, and a hat made of carrots.
Little frogs are cucumbers. And snowmen are apples, they can also be made using radishes or radishes. Hats in the form of a lemon slice and a carrot bow and mittens.
Apple crafts
I really liked one idea that moms brought to life! Apples are taken, washed, and wiped dry.
Then mom makes the glaze: beat the egg whites with sugar and add a couple of drops of lemon juice.
We take a regular medical syringe, naturally NOT using a needle. And fill the syringe with our white egg-white mixture. And we draw on the skins of apples. You can draw anything: snowflakes, butterflies, simple drawings, decorative curls, arrows, faces, waves, dots, etc.
The apples look beautiful and you can simply eat them later!
You can also make a wonderful caterpillar by connecting apples of the same size together using toothpicks.
To do this, we prick our fruits on both sides with a toothpick, make paws using carrots and make antennae with grapes! You can draw a face with plasticine or egg white glaze (described above how to do this).
Polka dot apples! These fruits can be decorated like this. Take red and cut circles or triangles from the skin. Do the same with a green or yellow apple. Now, attach colored circles in reverse: green circles are attached to a red apple, and red circles are attached to a green apple.
Pumpkin crafts
The queen of autumn is, of course, the pumpkin. This product is wonderful both for its valuable vitamin properties and is suitable for pumpkin crafts for the autumn holiday and for Halloween, which is also celebrated in the fall!
When creating figures using fruits or vegetables, you often need to fasten the parts together. Toothpicks are best and safer for this.
If you additionally use plasticine or, especially, markers or felt-tip pens for decoration, then of course you should not eat this product.
The wealth of nature is truly so diverse! Autumn is a great time for the development of children using natural materials. Because it is safe, accessible and simple.
Using autumn tree leaves, pine cones and plasticine, twigs, all the food gifts of autumn, you can develop children's creative imagination, stimulate their imagination and interest them in the world around them.
DIY crafts from vegetables and fruits made with the help of parents are perfect as a developmental tool.
DIY onion crafts
What can you come up with as a DIY craft for the holiday using onions?! It turns out you can make flowers!
If you cut an onion, peeled from top to bottom, in each layer without cutting to the very end and open the onion petals, you will get a real lotus! You can decorate with greenery.
But what wonderful onion daisies! The middle is a carrot circle, which is cut lengthwise and crosswise with a knife so that a small “fringe” is obtained. Decorate with greenery or green tree leaves or long leek leaves.
And here are some beautiful crafts made from onions that the children and their parents made for the exhibition. It turned out to be a real parade of onion men.
The bulbous piglets had ears and tails made from raisins, and matches were used for the legs. They decorated it beautifully and put it on display to show all the beauty of what you can come up with using the autumn harvest of vegetables.
These are the interesting crafts made from vegetables that the young craftsmen presented! These are all children's work.
Here is a selection of photos of beautiful and very interesting vegetable creations. Gorgeous palm trees can be made like this: large pitted olives are strung on skewers, “palm leaves” are put on the very top, and the whole creation is placed on an “island” of melon or any other fruit or vegetable.
Radishes are presented in the form of a beautiful decoration using the carving technique - cutting vegetables. Using the same technique, a gorgeous rose was created from real red beet. A bouquet of “roses” was created using black radishes or red radishes. You can decorate with a twig with leaves of a cherry or other fruit tree.
Mice and mushrooms can be made by carving enthusiasts in a matter of minutes. Very simple figures will turn out quite quickly - mice and mushrooms. The mice look especially touching and are very easy to make. To do this, take a clean radish and cut a piece from one, divide it in half and get mouse ears. We make eyes and slits into which we insert ears. The tails of the radishes serve as tails. And the mice look very real.
Bell peppers can serve as an excellent material for creating flowers from fruits. Look, just peel the pepper from the core and seeds and cut it into small “fringes”. And you will get asters or peonies. If you take three different colors of pepper, you will get a beautiful vegetable that is not only a craft, but also a beautiful decoration for a dish.
It is impossible not to show a bouquet of radishes and carrots, because it looks so natural and beautiful that you just want to admire it. Parents can easily make such a bouquet on their own.
Crafts made from vegetables can be not only tasty, but also beautiful, attractive and even funny!
And here is a huge hare made of radishes, eggplants, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and added fruit. It looks simply gorgeous!
Here is another bouquet, but this time fruity. A whole set of vitamins. There are watermelon, oranges, bananas, pineapple, and this beautiful bouquet of vegetables is decorated with eggplants.
Such chic and healthy bouquets can be partially eaten and simply admire the abundance of vegetables and fruits and decorate banquet tables in restaurants or at home during holidays.

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, such a creative activity not only served 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 all kinds of technology! 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 please 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 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 of it, 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;
- The lid of the box is preferably brown, like 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 using cotton swabs.
Olga Antonenko from Yaroslavl and daughter Olesya, 1 year 4 months.
We prepare the 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! We haven’t made crafts from vegetables before, and without your competition, we probably wouldn’t have done 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 strung them on).
The cabbage leaves were placed around the plate and my daughter stapled them together. And she attached wheels to the toothpicks.
We invite you to take part in 2019.

And so that the horse would not be lonely, they harnessed it to a carriage made of zucchini, in which they put the groom-pepper, drawing him a mustache and gluing hair from yarn, and a carrot-wife, which was decorated with white hairpins.

"Carriage for the Little Prince"
Mustafin Ilmir Ilnarovich, 3 years old, Mamadysh.
Do pumpkin carriage with your own hands? It's not difficult at all. All you need is a pumpkin, a comfortable sharp knife, and toy horses.
The process of making a carriage for the little prince:
Having taken the pumpkin, you need to take out its contents, then mark the windows on the pumpkin and draw a pattern on the surface of the “carriage”. Then, using a sharp knife, you can cut out a pattern in the carving style and, if desired, decorate it with gouache. Next, wheels are cut out of the squash (you can use ready-made ones, like mine) and attached to the pumpkin-carriage using toothpicks. Of course, without the prince and the horse, the carriage will be empty. Attach a children's toy horse to the carriage with a ribbon, and then to the carriage, in which we will place a prince, also made from a pumpkin. The fairytale pumpkin carriage is ready for adventure!

With the onset of autumn, harvesting begins in gardens and fields across our country. It is at this time of year that fruits and vegetables look incredibly beautiful: they are already ripe, strong and quite bright. Now, in addition to whetting the appetite, they also seem to push you to create something new. This is not surprising, because from collected fruits and, accordingly, vegetables, you can make very beautiful and interesting children's crafts from vegetables and fruits - natural materials, quite quickly and, by the way, quite simply. We'll show you interesting beautiful crafts from vegetables and fruits, made with your own hands and with photo instructions. By the way, check out the article, gardens and dachas, there are also a lot of interesting things.
In this article you will see many unusual crafts from vegetables and fruits and will be given. They are unusual because we are accustomed to using vegetables and fruits for their intended purpose - to eat. In addition, crafts made from vegetables and fruits with your own hands are not stored for a long time and quickly deteriorate. To make such crafts, the use of a sharp knife is required, so the child should work only under the guidance of an adult assistant.
We would like to note in advance that most crafts require fastening together some parts of the product, cut from vegetables or fruits. It is best to use regular toothpicks for this. Well, as a last resort, matches.

The process of making this children's apple craft:
- you need to take two apples, one of which will be larger than the other, and place them on top of each other. Accordingly, a small apple will be on a large one. It is quite easy to fasten them together with an ordinary toothpick. These two apples will serve as the body of our future man.
- after this you need to cut four pieces from the apple. Two pieces will serve as legs and need to be secured at the bottom of the body. And accordingly, the other two pieces will be human hands and need to be secured to the sides.
- you need to take a small apple and cut it into two equal parts. Each of the parts will serve as a man's hat.
- pumpkin seeds will be needed to make the eyes and, accordingly, the nose of a person. The mouth can be cut out with a knife directly on the apple. However, there is another way: you can cut off a separate piece and secure it with the same toothpicks.

In order to make a neck, a carrot is perfect, the tip of which will need to be cut off. The body and neck will need to be secured with toothpicks. Of course, any giraffe has ears and they can be made using small leaves or even seeds. In order to make the legs, you can take small twigs from any trees, and the tail itself can be made from grass, which you can also look for dried for beauty. The easiest way to make eyes for a giraffe is using cereal. Buckwheat is most often used. You can also make a giraffe from carrots, such as shown in the photo above.

Next step: making mouse eyes from a pear. Let's take the pumpkin seeds that we wrote about earlier and you need to draw black pupils on them with a felt-tip pen or marker (whichever you prefer). After this, you need to make cuts where the eyes will eventually be, and insert pumpkin seeds. There is nothing complicated about this fruit craft.

4. How to make children's crafts from pears - funny little people.
If you suddenly feel sad in the fall, you can make these simple little people. To prepare the second one you don’t even need any additional ingredients.

Funny pear men. Here's how to make DIY fruit crafts.
To prepare the first little man, you may additionally need another pear, lettuce, grapes and banana. In order to make the eyes, we will need two circles, which we will cut from a banana.

The role of the man’s nose is played by a grape, and the role of the cap is a circle cut from a second pear. The lettuce leaf is just for beauty, and you can simply cut out a smile with a knife. By the way, if you want, you can also secure raspberries or blackberries with a toothpick on the tip of the pear.

- - some olives, which will be stuffed with paprika

Process:
- the first thing you need to do is to properly wash and properly dry your large radish. After this, you need to remove all the leaves from it. You can leave only those that are in the place of the tail of the future rat Lariska. You also need to remove all the roots, leaving them exclusively in the place of the future antennae.
- after this, you should cut off the front part of the radish, and at the end, using one of the toothpicks, you should secure the same large radish. You should immediately insert a couple more toothpicks so that they later act like hair on a rat’s beard.
- in order to make the ears you will need to make two fairly large notches on the left and right, respectively. You will need to stick the same lettuce or cabbage leaves into them. There's really no difference. Perhaps the lettuce leaves are just a little brighter.
- at the very end we will make eyes for the rat Lariska. We cut the olives into small circles and stick each one into the radish with a toothpick (as you can see, we couldn’t do almost anything without toothpicks). But what is a rat without eyebrows? They can be made using the remaining piece of radish.

In order for a person to be like a real person, he will of course need eyes. It can be made from either black peas or any grains at all. You won’t need any additional vegetables for the mouth, since a smile can be cut out with a simple knife. It is only advisable for an adult to do this, since not all children will be able to cut it out carefully, and in the end you want to get a perfect figurine. What kind of person is without hair on his head? They can be made using threads that can be woven into absolutely any hairstyle, or even using straw or even grass. If you come across a carrot that does not have a forked end, then the legs can be made from carrots. Just to secure them we will need toothpicks or matches, depending on your preferences. For such a person, a child can come up with a name, and girls can even prepare clothes.

- after this you need to stick almond spikes into the pear (if they are not there, then use ordinary toothpicks). They will serve as needles on the hedgehog’s body.
- Of course, the hedgehog will need to have both eyes and nose done. For the nose, we just took cherries in sugar, and the eyes can be made very simply by attaching a zest to their place.

What natural materials do you like to make crafts from?
Using ordinary zucchini, you can create original crafts for school or kindergarten. To do this, you just need to show your imagination, be patient and, of course, find plants that are suitable in appearance and size.
To make crafts, you need to choose smooth and undamaged zucchini
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 an 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 brightly colored 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, carrot or beetroot - whoever happens to have it 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.
Penguin family
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:
