How to make crafts from natural vegetables. Materials for work. Cabbage duck and eggplant

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 various 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 skins, 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 manufacturing 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.

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 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!

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 fall 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.

If you have ideas on how to make autumn crafts from vegetables with your own hands, share them in the comments or send us a photo via. And we will definitely publish them and share your ideas.

Autumn is the time of colorful leaf fall, ripe fruits and vegetables. Warm autumn days are good for walks, and on rainy days you can do handicrafts - make funny toys from vegetables with your children. For example, carrot chanterelle.

Autumn fox To work you will need:

three carrots;
small orange bell pepper;
3 cloves;
wooden toothpicks.

And don’t forget to take a photo with the fox as a souvenir of this bright autumn day.

If you decide to make flowers from vegetables, you will need:

one onion;
one beet;
knife with thin blade
cucumber.

This selection depends on what specific vegetables you are going to cut from. It could be a carrot, a tomato, or any other object. Today we will show you how to make a rose from a beet and a chrysanthemum from a bulb. You will see that it is not that difficult.

First we'll make a rose. Using a knife, cut a long piece from the beets in a circle. This is what happens when you peel potatoes in one piece.

Cut it as long as possible. Then we roll it up into a spiral.

From the remaining segment we cut off relatively small and low pieces - these are the petals.

We slip them one by one under the first piece. Now the rose is ready.

You can also cut out leaves from the cucumber to go with it.

For chrysanthemums, take a medium bulb. The larger the bulb, the larger and more magnificent the flower will be. When peeling, do not cut off the root, but only lightly peel until clean. If you cut it, the outer layers will fall off.

Take a knife and cut the top layer into thin strips, sharpening the edges. We do this around the entire perimeter and disconnect the cut parts.

We repeat this step with the next layer and further, until the very end. The thinner the petals are, the more magnificent and delicate the flower will be.

The finished flower can be sprinkled with lemon juice so that it does not cause watery eyes.

Vegetable bouquet

The strip of skin with pulp should be very thin so that it can be easily rolled into a roll. Roll the strip with the flesh inward, starting from the part that corresponds to the stalk. Fold back the last turn of the strip to simulate an open rose petal. Connect all layers using a toothpick. Place the rosette on a leaf of lettuce or place a few sprigs of parsley underneath it.

Onion flowers.

"Daffodils" can be cut from small white bulbs with a stem. To strengthen the stem, place a thin skewer inside the feathers. Make deep zigzag cuts on the bulbs, right down to the center. Using the point of a knife, separate the two halves of the onion and place them in very cold water. After some time, the “narcissists” will open up.
Squeeze a few drops of mayonnaise onto a feather of green onion - you will get a “lily of the valley”.
Flatten the green onion. Cut it on one side like a herringbone, and then cut it lengthwise and unfold it - the feather will turn into a “palm branch”.

Try cutting flowers out of radishes. To do this, cut one radish into thin slices. And cut the other one twice with a cross. Insert the circles into the slits. Isn't it beautiful?!

Multi-colored peppercorns.

Yellow bell pepper easily turns into a real “sunflower”. Using the sharp tip of a knife, carefully cut the pepper almost to the base into long, narrow “petals.” Cut the skin of each “petal”.
Place the pepper in very cold water for half an hour to an hour until the “petals” open. Cut off the thick “butt” of the eggplant and cut the skin lengthwise and crosswise several times. Pull apart slightly to get the middle of the sunflower. Insert the cut eggplant into the middle of the flower. Place the sunflower on a lettuce leaf.
The red and green fruits of bell peppers with shiny and dense skin are ideal for making “exotic flowers.” Divide each pod into four parts. Do not complete the cut. Use scissors to cut thinner “petals.”
Trim the ends of the “petals” if the pods are too long. Place the prepared “flowers” in ice water for a while.

Cucumber bells.

You can cut “bells” from a strong cucumber, carrot or beetroot. To do this, you need to carefully cut off the top layer from the end of the fruit to form a cone and roll the bell. Place carrot, tomato, and red pepper slices in the middle of the flower. Beautiful from vegetables and fruits They turned out very tasty! Of course, it’s not easy to immediately become an artist of vegetable crafts, and pumpkin baskets, so beloved by decorators, are of no use in everyday life. But try, learn - and everything will work out!

Culinary carving

The art of engraving on the surface of plants is represented by culinary carving. Carving - English curving (from curve, which means “to cut”) - “carved work”, “carved ornament”. Culinary carving - figured cutting of vegetables and fruits - is very popular today.

The variety of shapes, colors, different structures of the skin and pulp of the fruits of nature can prompt a child to create real masterpieces of art. Take a closer look: vegetables and fruits have different shapes - round, oval, oblong, flattened. This allows them to be used for the heads and torsos of real creatures and fairy-tale characters. Coloring also has a certain meaning. Potato tubers and carrots often do not have a smooth surface, but processes that resemble a nose, ears, and hands. Such samples, of course, need to be specifically looked for in vegetable stocks, but crafts from vegetables and fruits they turn out to be very interesting. The most unusual and daring decisions can be prompted by a certain plant structure, for example, the layering of white cabbage or the wavy, “curly” structure of cauliflower... Don’t be confused by the thought that high culinary technologies or the creation of sculptural and artistic masterpieces are available only to specialists. After all, the most famous masters of their craft were also once children. The one who walks will master the road!

DIY vegetable crafts are a very popular form of creativity. They are especially relevant in the fall. If you have a child, then various competitions at school have probably already begun. Choosing vegetables for your crafts is a great idea. And if you complement them with natural materials or the simplest decor, you can create real masterpieces.

Earlier we told you what carving is. If you have a special knife, you can combine it with vegetable crafts. Then they will definitely be unique. However, you can do without this. It all depends on how serious the competition is. If creativity is exclusively homemade, then overly complex patterns are probably useless.

We tried to make as complete a selection as possible. Potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, carrots, onions, corn and other vegetables - in this article you will find lessons on creating crafts from a variety of crops.

By the way, some ideas may be useful to parents of little picky kids. If your child refuses to eat vegetables, try surprising him with a cucumber or carrot animal or person that he can eat. There are also crafts for the little ones that can be made for kindergarten.

Vegetables need to be carefully washed and dried. It is best to prepare all the necessary details right away. Get inspired, harvest and go!

Snail: zucchini + pumpkin

Even a child of primary school age can make this craft. True, you will have to help him a little.

We will need:

pumpkin;
zucchini;
rowan or other berries;
corrugated paper and cardboard;
leaves;
toothpicks;
additional decor.

Use a spoon to make a shell-shaped indentation on the pumpkin. We cut out circles from corrugated paper: for the cap and to hide the joint between the vegetables. We fasten the zucchini and pumpkin together with toothpicks. To make horns for the snail, we also use toothpicks and decorate them with berries.

A snail's face can be made from artificial eyes or made entirely from berries. It is best to place the snail on a cardboard box to make the structure stable.

There is no shame in bringing such a funny vegetable craft to a competition. She looks really great!

Boat: eggplant + onion

This craft can be done with your child in kindergarten. Just keep in mind that onions do not last very long, and therefore they may give off an unpleasant odor.

We will need:

eggplant;
2 onions;
colored paper;
toothpicks;
cardboard box.

Cut the eggplant in half and then scoop out the inside of the vegetable using a spoon. This must be done very carefully so as not to damage the peel or damage the integrity of the walls.

Take toothpicks and glue a piece of paper onto each of them to make a paddle. They will need to be stuck into the onion so that the vegetables are automatically fixed in the eggplant and the craft is stable.

You can add decor to the bow using colored paper and PVA glue.

Merry men: assorted

You can use any vegetables for this fun craft. The main thing is that one should be elongated, and another 3-4 should be round. You can make such a car with funny people with your own hands for a school competition.

We will need:

zucchini;
potato;
toothpicks;
plasticine;
colored paper.

All small details and decor will be made from plasticine. True, it sticks very poorly to smooth peels, so it’s best to take rough vegetables.

We need to use one zucchini completely, and from the second we need to cut 4 round wheels. We attach them using toothpicks.

Some colored paper decorations can be glued with PVA glue. Do this only with vegetables that you do not plan to eat.

If your child is very small, put ready-made Kinder Surprise figurines in a zucchini car.

Carrot bunny

You can make a very cute bunny with just one carrot with your own hands. This craft is great as a trick to get your child to start eating carrots.

We will need:

carrot;
plasticine;
paper.

Take long and thick carrots. We need to cut 4 identical circles from it. Divide the carrots into 2 halves on top - these will be the ears.

Cut out the legs from the circles using a sharp knife. We make a cut in the center of the carrot so that we can place paper there and form a semblance of teeth. We make the eyes and nose from plasticine. We attach all the parts to toothpicks or half toothpicks.

If you plan to eat a bunny, make the eyes out of berries or pieces of brightly colored vegetables.

Cucumber shark

This craft can be made to be eaten the same day. If you want to enter it into a competition, your best bet is to carve a shark out of a zucchini.

We will need:

cucumber;
radish;
any decor.

You can make imitation algae from cucumbers or paper. You can prick our future fish on a fork (even a plastic one).

The cucumber should be slightly curved. We will need to take one more vegetable - we only use the peel from it. We cut out fins and a tail from it. We make deep cuts on the main part of the craft. We insert small parts into them.

Cut the front part of the cucumber deeply. So that you can insert half a radish, a piece of pepper or a tomato there - we need to form the mouth of a shark. It is very convenient to secure the fish on toothpicks.

This craft can be an excellent decoration for a holiday table.

cucumber cactus

This cactus is a craft for the little ones. For kindergarten or 1st grade - just right.

We will need:

2 cucumbers;
large pepper;
dill;

It will be great to find a cucumber with a flower. If you don't have one, take a decorative one. Cut off two parts from the pepper. Insert one cucumber into the center. Cut the second cucumber in half diagonally. Attach the two pieces with toothpicks.

To make needles, take dill or other herbs. Let's just take chopsticks. Stick them into the cucumbers from all sides.

You can decorate the pepper pot with onions or peppers of a different color. You can attach the parts to dill if the pepper is soft. If not, use toothpicks.

Such homemade cacti can also become a wonderful decoration for a holiday table. Especially at a children's party.

Corn flowers

It makes sense to make this craft edible. That is, to make it, it is best to take already boiled corn. Although, if you are planning to make something for a competition in a kindergarten or school, then the idea can be used independently or as an addition to a larger craft.

We will need:

corn;
zucchini;
culinary skewers;
flower pots.

Pots can be replaced with regular mugs. Insert the zucchini into the center. Thread the corn onto skewers and thread them as deep as possible.

If you have a vegetable cutter, you can easily make flowers from carrots, turnips or any hard vegetables.

Carrot pirate

Crafts made from vegetables can become very original if you come up with an interesting decor. Moreover, you can create it from ordinary threads and colored paper. A hat, a hairstyle, a funny outfit - you will end up with something completely unusual.

We will need:

thick carrots;
threads;
cardboard;
paints;
insulating tape;
marker.

Using a knife, form the nose, eyes and mouth of the future pirate on the carrot. Cut off the top so that the vegetable can be placed.

Draw eyes and mouth with a marker. We make an eye patch and a pirate hat from cardboard. We wrap the threads with electrical tape. The saber needs to be cut out of cardboard, and everything else needs to be painted with paints.

By the way, this craft can be used for a children's Halloween party.

Horse: zucchini + carrots

This craft is perhaps the most difficult in our selection. However, this is only in appearance. In fact, putting vegetables together and forming such a figure is quite simple.

We will need:

2 small zucchini;
4 carrots;
4 potatoes of the same size;
2 hot peppers;
twigs;
ready-made basket;
cardboard box;
wire;
toothpicks;
any decor.

First, let's prepare the zucchini. If they are too big, you need to cut off the excess. Take a closer look at the main part of the craft: the zucchini consists of two parts. They are held together by many toothpicks stuck into the pulp. We fasten the zucchini head to the zucchini body in the same way.

Prepare the carrots and trim them at both ends. We need 4 identical blanks. Make holes in the potatoes and zucchini, insert the “legs” using toothpicks.

We make the harness for the horse from twigs fastened with wire. We simply wrap the basket and place it on a small cardboard platform. We make wheels from carrots. We fill the beauty basket itself with various vegetables and natural materials.

This vegetable craft definitely deserves first place in the creative competition!

Eggplant penguins

This craft requires only one vegetable and just a couple of minutes of free time.

We will need:

eggplant or zucchini;
sharp knife;
toy eyes.

We attach the eyes to the tail of the eggplant using superglue. Cut off the concave part of the vegetable to expose the “belly” of the penguin. We make two cuts on the side to form the wings. We cut off the round part from the second end so that the vegetable can be placed. We form paws from it.

This craft will certainly appeal to the youngest children.

Pumpkin house

This pumpkin craft is great any time, but it's especially special for Halloween. Its advantage is that it can be stored for quite a long time - the pumpkin almost does not rot at all.

We will need:

large stable pumpkin;
sharp knife;
toothpicks;
natural materials;
any figures.

We have previously told you how to prepare a pumpkin for making crafts. Here we proceed in the same way. The vegetable needs to be carefully cleaned from the inside, washed and dried, and only then proceed to the craft.

We'll make a window out of toothpicks. We cut off the top cover and glue any branches, leaves or rowan berries to it.

We install the structure on the lid of a cardboard box, and place toy animal figures around it.

This craft is perfect for participating in a competition in elementary school.

Potato Cheburashka

You can make many different crafts from just one or two potatoes. It is enough just to supplement them with original details.

We will need:

1 large potato;
toothpicks;
plasticine.

Cut the vegetable into circles of equal thickness. We fasten the parts with toothpicks. We form the face from plasticine. You can decorate the craft with popcorn or a flower.

If you are afraid that the potatoes will darken, because the craft will have to be stored for more than one day, make it from whole tubers. Form exactly the same figure. Make ears and paws from halves of small potatoes, with their skins facing out.

This vegetable craft is good for both kindergarten and elementary school.

We hope you are inspired by this collection of ideas. Repeat them completely or come up with something of your own. Supplement crafts made from vegetables with fruits, leaves, and various decorations. Collect simple shapes from large vegetables if your child is very young. Or try carving if you're aiming for first place in a school competition. Have fun creating and have fun in the process!
