Autumn crafts for kindergarten. Autumn crafts in kindergarten: the best ideas with photos


Autumn gives us a lot of materials for creativity. These are leaves of various colors, and chestnuts, and dried flowers, and acorns, and a decorative miniature pumpkin.

But, before you start making souvenirs from them, you need to properly prepare them, namely, dry them and, if necessary, varnish or paint them.

If you make crafts from unprepared raw materials, then this will be a short-lived product.

As soon as the material dries on its own, the souvenir will lose its shape and will have to be thrown away. And besides this, half-baked leaves can simply rot or become moldy.

Therefore, let's start by drying our autumn finds.

Let's prepare the leaves for the herbarium as follows:

1 way:

Put them between the book sheets and put them back on the shelf, pressing down firmly with other books on the side. After about a week and a half, the leaves will become suitable for crafts.

This method is the best, since the natural color of the leaves does not change and then they do not break for a long time.

2 way:

This method is good if you do not have the strength to endure a week and a half and want to quickly get to work. Place the sheet between two white sheets of paper and iron on the lowest setting.

In this case, the yellow and red leaves retain their color, but the green ones can darken and become an ugly, brown hue.

We dry chestnuts, acorns and decorative pumpkin.

1 way:

Dry outdoors in the shade. It will be necessary to wait quite a long time before these materials acquire the dryness we need.

Sometimes this process takes a month. This is especially true of decorative pumpkins, from which wonderful autumn DIY crafts come out.

You will see for yourself when the moment of readiness of the gifts of autumn comes. Acorns and chestnuts will become lighter, and the pumpkin will become like a rattle, as the cavity inside will dry out and shrink, and dry seeds will beat against the walls.

2 way:

We use the oven for this. It must be set to a temperature of up to 60C, and dried until tender, stirring occasionally.

The main thing is not to rush and do not set a high heat, as the fruits will simply boil and become completely unusable.

Drying dried flowers

There is only one way and it is long-playing. Flowers should be strung on a thread threaded through the stems and hung in a dry place, peduncles down.

Drying in a book or an iron will not work, so the shape will be lost and they will become flat. After the dried flowers are completely dry, they must be covered with a layer of hairspray. It will give them the right density and will not allow them to crumble at the slightest touch.

Well, now, let's move on to specific master classes and examples.

1. Panel of autumn leaves

We offer you a great idea for a do-it-yourself leaf panel. It is not difficult to make it, but the result is quite impressive.

It would be nice if you placed other autumn decor elements next to the finished leaf painting. For example, pumpkins, spikelets and other gizmos suitable in style. Then you will have a whole autumn ensemble.

What we need to work:

  1. 1. Dried maple leaves of yellow-red color.
  2. 2. Tree branch for the trunk
  3. 3. A piece of square plywood
  4. 4. Stain or dark varnish
  5. 5. Simple pencil
  6. 6. PVA glue
  7. 7. A bunch of dry spikelets
  8. 8. Wicker basket for pumpkins
  9. 9. A few Jack Be Little or Baby Boo pumpkins

If you do not have such pumpkins, then the basket can be filled with chestnuts and acorns. But next year it would not hurt to grow them, as they look very colorful and festive. Of course, if you have a piece of land.

See what a variety of varieties and how harmoniously they combine with each other:

Master class step by step:

1 step. Sand the board, paying special attention to the edges. They must be smooth.

2 step. Cover it with stain or varnish, preferably with a brownish tint. Apply the coating in several layers, trying to make the board not of a uniform color, but slightly “spotted”.

3 step. Freehand draw a large maple leaf.

4 step. Start gluing on the maple leaves. Start from the edges, gradually approaching the middle. The edges of the leaves should match the edges of the sketch as best as possible. The next row of leaves should overlap the previous one. Do not glue the ends, they should be “overhang” so that the effect of volume comes out.

5 step. Glue the selected branch in place of the stem.

Now hang a hand-made autumn panel over a cabinet and arrange other decorative elements around.

2. Topiary from a herbarium and other autumn materials

Topiary is an ornamental tree. In autumn, you can collect beautiful leaves and make such a wonderful and cozy element of decor.

Any leaves, dried flowers, acorns, spikelets will be used here. The main thing is to understand the essence and make the right foundation. And what to fill it with - fantasy will tell.

What we need to work:

  1. 1. Ceramic pot of soft color
  2. 2. Smooth tree branch for the trunk
  3. 3. 1 ball of foam rubber, polystyrene or special floral foam
  4. 4. Dry moss, sesame or a handful of beautiful pebbles, acorns, dry mountain ash
  5. 5. Glue gun
  6. 6. Gypsum dry
  7. 7. Decorative elements: herbarium, dried flowers, mountain ash, acorns, etc.

Master class step by step:

1 step. Let's start with the base. Take a styrofoam ball and put it on a branch that will serve as a trunk for you. Then remove it and drop glue from the gun into the hole formed. Reattach the ball and let dry.

2 step. Secure the stem in the pot. To do this, put a drop of glue on the free edge of the branch, attach it to the base of the pot.

Then, dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and fill the container. Keep in mind that you will still need to decorate everything on top with moss or acorns, so leave a gap of about 3-4 cm from the top.

3 step. Now we insert leaves, dried flowers into the ball, sticking their stems inside. If you want to add acorns to the composition, then first put them on pieces of wire.

4 step. Now you just have to decorate the top of the pot so that the gypsum is not visible.

That's all. According to this simple scheme, you can make a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands, not only from leaves, but also from dry peas, nuts and other things. All of them will look just fine!

3. Roses from maple leaves

Looking at this elegant bouquet of roses, it would never occur to you that it is made from ordinary maple leaves!

But, nevertheless, it is so. It is enough just to learn how to fold them correctly and you will get a chic basis for many ideas.

Such roses can be included in various autumn topiaries, wreaths, compositions and panels. They look great in combination with any natural materials.

Well, let's get down to business.

What we need to work:

  1. 1. Maple leaves not dried
  2. 2. Thread or soft wire
  3. 3. Matte hairspray

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the middle of the bud. To do this, fold the sheet as shown in the pictures below. Try to twist it as tightly and evenly as possible. First in half, and then sausage.

As a result, we should get something like this:

2 step. Now take the second sheet, fold it in half again and wrap the base around it.

The sharp edges of the maple leaves need to be carefully hidden inside, like this:

3 step. We continue to build up mass around the base, fitting more and more new leaves. If you want to end up with a bud, then twist it tighter, and if you ate a more lush rose, then loosen the twist a little.

4 step. When you see that a real rose has “bloomed” in your hands, you need to fix it with threads, as tight as possible.

5 step. We cut the edges with scissors and put the rose on a lining of leaves, preferably already dry. We cover the composition with varnish and admire!

Such roses from leaves stand for a long time, for the whole autumn season it will definitely be enough. You can make as many of these colors as you like. The more of them, the more chic this autumn composition looks, resembling a fabric motif in appearance.

4. Compositions from decorative pumpkins

Even if you do not grow this vegetable on your site, in the autumn you can freely buy them on the market and then dry them yourself. How to do this, we have already told above, so let's not waste time talking.

Let's get creative!

There will be no master classes in this block, we will just show you examples of such decor, and how to make them is quite clear from the photo.

Of course, there are more complex techniques, for example, carving or painting on dry lagenaria, but this topic is extensive and worthy of a separate article. Here we will consider only the simplest compositions that even a schoolboy can do.

1 option. Basket with a scattering of pumpkins. It couldn't be easier, but the view is spectacular!

Option 2. Candlesticks from mini pumpkins. To do this, you need to cut a hole large enough with a knife so that you can put a foil-based candle in it.

Or this option:

Incredibly simple, right?

3 option. Wreath on the door of pumpkins. Take any circle as a basis, for example, an embroidery hoop, and attach mini-pumpkins to it.

Pierce the tails with wire and screw it to the base, circle. As additional decorative elements, use berries, acorns, twigs and autumn leaves.

It will look something like this:


5. Chestnut Topiary

To create this spectacular do-it-yourself autumn craft, we will need the same materials for the base as for creating a decorative herbarium tree. And for decoration, you just need other elements.

For work we need:

1. Ceramic pot
2. Styrofoam ball
3. Gypsum dry
4. Glue gun
5. Tree branch for the trunk
6. Cones, chestnuts, acorns
7. Harsh thread or twine to form decorative balls

Master class step by step:

  1. 1. We form the base of the tree in the same way as in the case of the leaf topiary.
  2. 2. We fix the base in a pot with glue and plaster
  3. 3. We apply drops of hot glue to chestnuts, acorns and other elements and randomly attach them to the foam ball-crown.
  4. 4. A wreath on the chestnut door

Such a wreath of chestnuts on the front door will cheer up not only you, but also passers-by. It is very easy to make it. Follow all the steps given for making a pumpkin wreath.

Find some kind of dense base, then pierce the chestnuts and other elements through the reverse side, insert the wire, form a hook and use it to screw them to the circle.

Complement the chestnut composition with leaves, acorns, berries and other autumn decorative elements that this fertile time of the year gave.

6. Autumn garland "Leaves" from salt dough

This is a very spectacular autumn craft with your own hands. The big advantage of such a garland is that it is not seasonal and will decorate your home for many years.

After all, it is made not from natural materials, but from salt dough, which does not deteriorate for years. The only thing is that such products are fragile and must be handled with care so as not to break. But, even if this happened, they can always be glued together, but the joint will not be noticeable.

What we need to work:

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 glass of salt
3. 0.5 cups of water
4. Gouache
5. Sewing pins with hook eye
6. Twine
7. Oven
8. White landscape paper, pencil

Master class step by step:

1 step. We draw patterns of leaves of various types on the landscape sheet, but approximately the same size. We cut them out.

2 step. Knead a stiff dough of flour, salt and water. If the dough turns out to be non-plastic, then liquid can be added drop by drop. Mix well the resulting material and roll it out on the board. The layer should be approximately 5-7 millimeters.

3 step. We lay out the templates on the rolled out dough and cut them along the contour with a knife.

As a result, we should get about as many blanks.

4 step. We make holes with pins and carefully fix the heads. On them we will hang our leaves. We squeeze out the veins with a knife.

5 step. We dry the dough in the oven at a temperature of 50-60C until completely dry.

6 step. We color the blanks from the dough with gouache, trying to make natural tones and transitions.

7 step. We string the garland on the twine, making a knot over each leaf so that they do not move.

So our autumn do-it-yourself craft is ready. You can hang it anywhere, it will be in place in any corner of the house, especially if you have some other autumn-style decor elements.

7. Vases and houses from an ordinary pumpkin

Autumn is the season for pumpkins. It costs mere pennies and finding a beautiful shape and coloring is not difficult.

And to make an element of autumn decor on its basis is as easy as shelling pears! There is no need for any step-by-step technologies and accessories.

All you need is pumpkins, a carving knife, a tablespoon to pick out the pulp and flowers to fill these colorful vases.

Look at our selection of photos of pumpkin vases. Looks very dignified and autumnal.

As you already understood, you only need to cut off the top and clean the core of the vegetable. Then fill the container with water.

And you can make houses out of pumpkins. To do this, you just need to cut holes in the right places. Where exactly they are located, you can see in the picture below. Kids love these things!


8. Wreath on the door made of natural materials

We have already given above an example of wreaths of pumpkins and chestnuts. How to make them - you already know. Here we just give a selection of the most spectacular, in our opinion, ideas.


9. Frame of acorns for a photo or a mirror

Decorating any base in this way is very simple. We think no explanation is needed here.

The only thing we can advise is that you should not glue acorns on a glue gun or PVA. Much better if you use plasticine.

Because, most likely, you will soon get tired of such decor and have to throw it away. And so, you can always dismantle the acorns and get a regular photo frame back into use.

This is how it will look like.

There are whole acorns on the photo frame, and only hats on the mirror. Thus, you can create a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands and decorate any surface: caskets, bread boxes, and more.

10. Bunch of acorns

This autumn craft will look best if you paint the “berries” in natural colors, and instead of grape leaves add a maple herbarium of various colors.

Also, a bunch of acorns is a wonderful element of any autumn wreath on the door or a large topiary. After all, it can be made not only desktop, but also in human growth!

Only instead of a foam ball, you need to take some large, plastic one. Grapes from acorns are made very simply, we will now tell you exactly how.

What we need to work:

1. Acorns without caps
2. Shilo
3. Wire
3. Glue gun
4. Acrylic paint
5. Autumn leaves for decoration

Master class step by step:

1 step. We pierce holes in the base of the acorn with an awl.

2 step. We break or cut the wire into pieces 7-10 cm long.

3 step. Dip the ends of the wire in a drop of glue from the gun and insert into the punctured holes.

4 step. We paint acorns in any color you want. The main thing is that it is combined with leaves that will complement the composition.

5 step. We collect acorns in a bunch, forming a wire rod on top. Then we attach leaves to it.

Now you can make any decoration based on this fall craft. Panel, wreath and more.

11. Autumn crafts from felt

Working with this fabric is a pleasure! The material does not crumble, perfectly holds its shape. And this means that any beginner can make an autumn craft from felt with his own hands and it will turn out no worse than the products of experienced craftswomen.

We offer you a selection of the best and simple decors in autumn style, and you already choose any of them! They are so simple that they do not need to describe in detail their step-by-step technology.

As you can see, on the basis of felt leaves, you can make both a wreath and a garland, like the one we already made from salt dough. Here are a couple more options for do-it-yourself autumn wreaths.

All you need to do is draw patterns, cut out the felt and decorate it according to our photos.

12. Pigtail of garlic and red pepper

How cozy it is when bundles of garlic, onions, red peppers hang in the kitchen! But if you hang them fresh, they will very soon lose their appearance or simply run out, because they will go to food.

Let's do something like this, but for the ages! Now we will look at how garlic and pepper are made, from which we will form a pretty braid for the kitchen.

For work we need:

1. White nylon tights or plastic bag (for garlic base)
2. Cotton wool or synthetic winterizer (for filling)
3. White harsh thread (for dressing and forming lobules)
4. Glue gun
5. Buckwheat or twine (to simulate garlic roots)
6. Fabric for sewing peppers or salt dough for modeling it

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the body of garlic. To do this, we need to cut into squares or nylon tights or simple plastic bags. Garlic made of nylon looks, of course, more realistic.

But the package looks good too. But most importantly, this material is always at hand. So, cut out a square, about 7 by 7 cm in diameter.

2 step. We roll a ball out of cotton wool or synthetic winterizer, put it inside a flap of nylon and form a head of garlic. It looks like it is shown in the photo.

3 step. Then we begin to tie the head with a harsh thread, forming garlic cloves. First, divide in half, then into quarters, then into 8 parts.

Look at the photo, the process is clearly shown there.

4 step. In the place where the roots of real garlic are located, we drip a drop of glue and sprinkle this place with crushed buckwheat. If you want, you can replace it with twine, which needs to be unraveled and finely chopped.

5 step. We make a pigtail out of twine and attach the resulting garlic cloves to it.

6 step. Now it's time to do the pepper. You can sew it, but a pepper made from salt dough looks much better.

We have already given the recipe for kneading, in the subheading “Garlands of autumn leaves”. This is how the peppercorns should turn out in the end.

7 step. We make holes in the tails of the peppercorns (we will then thread the twine into them and with its help we will fix them on the pigtail with garlic). You can do this with an awl or any item at hand.

The main thing is to make them large enough so that you can thread the thread freely later. Otherwise, after drying, you will not be able to attach the finished product to the composition in any way.

And one more thing: if you make a hole, make sure that the edges of the legs remain more or less large. Otherwise, after you pull the thread, the thin walls may crack and the pepper will fall to the floor.

8 step. Dry in the oven, paint with acrylic paint, after drying, cover them with varnish. When the pepper shines, it looks more natural.

Dry at a low temperature, do not rush, because otherwise, your work may burst and you will have to sculpt everything again. Cracked peppers can no longer be painted the way you would like.

9. We fasten the pepper to the garlic and hang this autumn composition in the kitchen. You can make several of these links. You can make carrots from salt dough, and from brown tights you can make an onion bunch.

The principle of making bulbs is the same as garlic, only even simpler. Slices do not need to be formed.

Also, a bunch of mushrooms on the wall will look great, which you can also mold from dough and paint realistically.

This is the end of our long review. You saw many examples and any kind of autumn crafts with your own hands. We really hope that our master classes will be useful to you and you will definitely take something into service.

Almost all children are engaged in autumn crafts. A variety of figures and compositions attract kids. Every year, an exhibition is held in all schools and kindergartens, which presents the best crafts on the theme of "Autumn", made by the hands of parents and children. In interesting compositions, you can see figures made of paper, cones, chestnuts and other natural materials.

We offer several ideas for simple but interesting crafts made from natural materials. Step-by-step diagrams, photos, ideas and descriptions will be great helpers for educators, teachers and parents in the creative development of children.

In addition, the work on creating crafts captivates the child. He happily walks with his mother in the park, collecting a variety of twigs, acorns, leaves. In anticipation of the creative process, he invents a story that he wants to recreate in his composition.

Acorns. Autumn crafts for kindergarten, photo and video selection

The easiest way is to make crafts from acorns. The smooth surface of the fruit allows you to paint it with any paint. Just look at what set of soldiers can be made from acorns.

It is more difficult to perform combined figures from acorns and other additional materials. For example, you can make funny little men. On the right side is the assembly diagram.

Or such a cute dog.

And such little men are obtained from unripe acorns.

So that your inhabitants have a place to live, you can make such a nice hut.

Step 1. Make a cardboard base.

Step 2. Paste it with acorns and hats.

So the child will get a fabulous composition, and he will be able to come up with various stories.

Plasticine is a good additional fastening material for acorns. With it, you can do any crafts.

Video selection. Perhaps you will find a suitable autumn composition for yourself.

chestnuts. Beautiful autumn crafts for kindergarten, photo of original ideas

Surely your children love to sculpt from plasticine. Each time they mix different colors, resulting in a "slick mass". For your information, used plasticine can be used to create crafts from chestnuts. It turns out pretty funny products. See what mushroom symbiosis can turn out if you use chestnuts, acorns and plasticine in your work.

According to the instructions, you will understand how such a mushroom is made. It is enough to connect the acorn and chestnut with plasticine, and the craft is ready. It is desirable to decorate the hat with dots. Having made several products, you will get a real forest clearing that can be decorated with needles.

The second version of the mushroom requires more time and the following materials:

  • plasticine of the corresponding color;
  • acorn without a cap;
  • chestnut.

Step 1. Cover the lower part of the chestnut with plasticine and make a match mushroom texture on it.

Step 2. Glue an acorn to the hat - a mushroom leg.

It is better to choose flattened chestnuts or cut off the lower part of a whole fruit.

Such crafts are very simple, so a child of 3-5 years old can easily make them. Invite your child to make a snail.

It is performed as follows. Pay attention to the diagram.

Flower. Autumn crafts in the kindergarten, photo instructions are attached

To make such a wonderful flower, prepare the following materials:

  • plasticine;
  • rosehip fruit;
  • ash fruits - "helicopters";
  • acorns.

Step 1. Roll a ball out of plasticine and insert an acorn there.

Step 2. Attach the "helicopters" to the plasticine.

Step 3. Glue a plasticine pancake on top of the acorn - this will be a pestle.

The flower is ready.

Pumpkin to the rescue

Amazing crafts are made from a pumpkin. Remember the fairy tale "Cinderella"? No wonder the author chose this particular vegetable for reincarnation and magic. In the skillful hands of a child, an ordinary pumpkin will also turn into a beautiful craft for the Autumn exhibition in kindergarten. Since the pumpkin has a rough skin, one cannot do without the help of parents.

Cheerful houses will turn out from a small decorative pumpkin. The vegetable itself will act as the base. You just have to decorate the top as you wish and draw windows and doors on the surface. Here you can safely show your imagination.

Leaves crafts are very beautiful. Watch a video collection of ideas.

The most common material for autumn crafts is leaves. They can act as a separate material, as well as additional. Roses and all sorts of applications are made from leaves, but we suggest making an original bowl.

Prepare for work:

  • autumn leaves of different colors;
  • glue;
  • balloon;
  • scissors;
  • sponge.

Step 1. Inflate the balloon.

Step 2. Make an adhesive mass consisting of water and glue (1: 1).

Step 3. Apply the mixture with a sponge over the entire surface of the ball.

Step 4. Glue each leaf in turn, alternating colors.

Step 5. Apply the adhesive mass over the leaves.

Step 6. Stick on the leaves until you cover the entire bottom. To make the bottom more durable, make two layers.

Step 7. Leave the craft to dry, then pierce the ball with a needle and carefully remove it.

The basket is ready.

Children's crafts on the theme of Autumn - an inexhaustible ground for creativity. To create them, you can use natural materials that have already become traditional, and other interesting objects and things.

Such simple ideas help children discover all the facets of creativity and learn to see particles of the natural world around them, even in familiar household items.

In autumn, children and adults return to the topic of studying vegetables. Why not make a visual aid - a carrot? We glue orange paper in the form of a roll.

We glue it on both sides at different angles. Cut corners on one side. Glue the chopped greens. Paper carrot is ready!

Apple tree from a paper plate

A truly autumn craft can be made from a disposable plate. All you need is to paint the outside of the bottom of the plate green or yellow with a foam sponge.

and apply red dots to the painted surface with cotton swabs.

We glue a rectangular piece of brown cardboard from below - and now the autumn apple tree is ready. Such an apple tree will become even more attractive if you use some small round objects as apples, gluing them with polymer glue.

You can make a cute autumn applique on a disposable plate.

Apple tree from a cardboard roll

In the same way, you can arrange the crown of a tree, the trunk of which is made from half a roll of toilet paper. We glue the half to an A4 sheet and decorate the upper part with pieces of soft colored paper.

Small red buttons imitating autumn apples will complement the image.

If you use a single roll of paper, you get a voluminous tree. We put red dots on green paper - these are future apples. Let the paint dry

To keep the crown better, before fixing it on the trunk, we cut the roll from the top side and bend the strips outward.

We insert the crumpled paper into the roll, forming the crown of the apple tree.

Forest from cardboard rolls

An autumn tree can be made from cardboard rolls and real autumn leaves. We cut the cardboard rolls and paint them brown. We prepare leaves and other natural autumn materials: acorns, chestnuts, mountain ash, branches, maple seeds.

We glue leaves and other gifts of autumn to cardboard rolls. You can decorate the resulting piece of autumn forest with two charming plasticine and chestnut hedgehogs.

palm tree

You can make an even more original decorative tree: we will circle the child’s handle on brown cardboard to the elbow,

cut out and paste over it with multi-colored paper autumn leaves. This craft can be used as a window decoration. In this case, we apply the cut out handle and leaves to transparent adhesive paper and also cover it with adhesive paper on the reverse side.

Autumn tree - window decoration

Leaves application can be placed on a cardboard stand - we will get a worthy exhibit of the autumn exhibition.

Craft on the theme of autumn "tree of leaves"

crumpled paper tree

An interesting application is a tree made of crumpled paper.

We form a trunk and branches from it.

Then we glue bright yellow-red lumps of napkins or paper for packaging on them instead of leaves and fruits.

Autumn tree from the package

The package is cut into small strips, which are then twisted into tree branches. To make the craft more durable, you should first apply glue to the paper strips. Leaves are glued to the branches of a tree. The curved shape of the twisted strips makes it look like a fairy tree.

Autumn tree made of threads

For crafts, we glue a sheet of cardboard with a cone. Then we take a thick yarn and wind it layer by layer on the cone, fixing it on the glue (it is better to apply the glue gradually on the cone itself). You can decorate the top with a pompom and glue felt leaves on top. It will turn out a very unusual and spectacular autumn tree.

Autumn pendant from the gifts of autumn

As a do-it-yourself craft on the theme of autumn for the school, you can make a beautiful pendant from natural materials - tree twigs, pine and spruce cones, dried physalis nuts and other components.

Such a product will organically fit into a school office or hall.

Hedgehog from a plastic bottle and cones

You can use cones to create funny characters like hedgehogs. We take a small plastic bottle as the basis of the craft and wrap it with a thick cloth. We begin to glue cones one after another on the fabric. We glue the whole bottle in this way.

Glue the eyes and ears on the hedgehog. We decorate the craft with autumn gifts - apples, mountain ash, twigs. Hedgehog from cones and a bottle - ready!

Watch the video on how to make a forest hedgehog from cones:

Squirrels from cones

From a cone and felt, you can make charming squirrels with acorns.

A squirrel can be made from plasticine and a pine cone.

Birds from cones

A bird from a cone can be made a little differently. We fasten the chestnut, cone and leaves with glue - we will get a body, head and wings.

From thin branches we weave a nest. We weave leaves into the nest, trying to close the gaps between the branches.

We glue the eyes and beak to the birds, then place them in the nest. Such crafts can easily decorate any autumn exhibition.

Another entertaining and very simple autumn-themed craft is a cone tree. From thin paper we make balls of "autumn" colors - green, orange, yellow, red. We apply glue to the "scales" of the cones and insert paper balls into them.

Crafts on the theme of autumn from natural materials

And this is a funny little man made of natural materials! We make holes in chestnuts or acorns and insert matches into them. We fix all the details with glue.

From the gifts of autumn fruits, you can make a tasty and edible craft - a hedgehog.

The autumn craft "Pumpkin Carriage" will become a real masterpiece of the autumn exhibition.

Young princesses will surely enjoy making a pumpkin and zucchini snail! And how nice it is to decorate it with beads and rhinestones.

Salt dough autumn crafts

Salt dough makes very beautiful autumn hedgehogs.

Another fun fall idea for kids of all ages is making a salt dough pendant. We color the pieces of dough in the colors of the autumn range. We roll them into layers about one centimeter thick and cut out leaves of different shapes and sizes with the help of molds.

We dry the leaves in the open air and hang them by strings from a tree branch.

A very beautiful composition on the theme of autumn can be made from a mass for modeling that hardens in the air. We roll out the mass in a thin layer and press a real autumn leaf to it. Cut out the imprint of the sheet with a stack.

We make a hole in the upper part. We are waiting for the mass to dry and paint it in bright autumn colors. The resulting leaves are hung on a stick. The composition "autumn leaves" is ready!

Composition "autumn leaves"

Autumn crafts from plasticine

From plasticine you can make a very beautiful autumn landscape. The basis of the craft is a sheet of cardboard on which the details of the picture are glued.

We start crafts on the theme of autumn from plasticine by fixing the trunk and branches of a birch.

Glue yellow leaves and yellow grass. We decorate the sky with clouds and a flock of flying birds. We plant mushrooms, a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree and a hare on the ground.

Plasticine vegetables have become classics of autumn crafts.

Leaf applications

Another great idea for autumn creativity is leaf appliqués. One of the most favorite themes for applications are fish and the seabed.

You can decorate a cardboard tree trunk with real dry autumn leaves. Even the smallest kids will love this simple applique.

Application from the leaves "tree"

From a leaf from a newspaper, you can make a beautiful autumn postcard with a mushroom.

With the help of a laminator and real autumn leaves, you can make an interesting manual for children. We collect leaves from different types of trees. It is advisable to collect several pieces from each type of tree: three oak leaves, four maple leaves, three rowan leaves, five willow leaves, two chestnut leaves, three alder leaves. We laminate them.

Cut out the laminated leaves.

The educational purpose of the manual: to acquaint children with the types of trees and be able to distinguish between them. We invite the children to sort the leaves by type and name them.

Allowance "leaves"

From real autumn leaves you can make a beautiful panel for decorating walls and windows. We need bright beautiful autumn leaves. We will leave some of them intact, and cut out hearts from others.

We place the leaves and hearts between two layers of adhesive paper. Autumn composition is ready.

From autumn leaves and petals, you can make a portrait of the autumn queen.

From autumn leaves you can make a lovely autumn composition with roses.

Autumn crafts for kindergarten: ideas

Enriched with knowledge about autumn crafts in kindergarten, ideas, master classes can be for future use. The subject of such products is not limited to purely natural materials. No wonder this time of year is considered the most beautiful, the most poetic, despite the cold, rain and blues. The ability to notice this beauty is inherent in our children, which is why their drawings, applications, and other works are filled with a sense of celebration, the charm of this time.

I must say that large compositions with many elements are always favorably accepted by any, even the most strict commission. Yes, and kids really like such compositions, because by making them, you can come up with a whole fairy tale in which several characters participate, each with its own character and history. In such work, you can combine several techniques that the child already owns: make trees using twigs, leaves and colored paper, a match bridge, a plasticine swan, a bear cub from twisted jute twine and a turtle - a decorated sea pebble.

The best autumn crafts for kindergarten

We present to your attention one more work, which is one of the best autumn crafts for kindergarten. The spider, sitting on its web, is already preparing for its journey during the Indian summer.

You can make the basis for the web from thin twigs or from hard wire. Branches will be both cheaper and more convenient material to work with. Eight elements are interconnected in the center, for this you can use safety pins that you stick into the cuts of the branches. Additionally, we fix the attachment point with wire or harsh threads. We will need them for the construction of the web web - we twist it clockwise, fixing it with knots so that the threads do not slip to the center. Glue small leaves, yellow, red, pre-dried according to all the rules, to the finished web with PVA glue. In the middle we glue the most elegant sheet, it will be the home for the spider. It can be made by twisting black woolen threads around a wire, gluing paper eyes, or coloring with paints.

For applications, you can choose a variety of materials, including a variety of cereals. This elegant tree is made using beans, corn, peas - materials that you can easily get from your grandmother in the village or in any grocery store. For additional decor, we will use pasta-wheels. On a sheet of thick dark-colored cardboard we glue the twine along the contour of the trunk of our future tree. To make the trunk larger, we braid the twine with a scythe, and then its ends diverge upwards like branches. Gluing each element to the glue, fill the entire intended “crown” with beans, alternating it with pasta. Bottom, the ground from which the tree grows, we decorate with peas. Since it is quite small. Then sticking it one by one simply does not make sense. Apply glue in a layer and pour peas, distribute in one layer. After a while, just shake off everything superfluous from the sheet that has not stuck.

A tree in elegant decoration can also be made using colored paper. It can be easily made by kids who already know how to handle scissors. A trunk with branches is cut out on brown paper, glued onto a sheet of thick cardboard. On the surface of colored paper, cut out clouds of different sizes, they should be blue and blue for a cloud, as well as green, yellow and orange for a tree. They should be glued slightly overlapping to create the impression of a solid crown, and glue should be applied only to the middle of the cloud. Then the crown will not only be multi-colored, but also voluminous, slightly rise above the plane of the sheet. You can stick the sun and clouds with the help of squares of double-sided tape. Decorate the bottom to your liking - green grass cut in a zigzag pattern, flowers, fallen leaves made from chopped small squares. For the finished work, make a small frame and be sure to sign it.

Autumn crafts in kindergarten - how to do?

Based on yellow leaves, you can come up with a whole bunch autumn crafts for kindergarten. How to do the simplest we will try to learn.

The leaves themselves, so beautiful when we collect them in a park or forest, in the house can dry out very quickly and become unusable. To avoid this, the material should be prepared for work. The leaves must be dried between newspaper sheets, leaving them there, under pressure for at least 10 hours. If you want to start working quickly, you can iron the sheets through the fabric with a warm (not hot) iron, and then dry it.

For any application, you need to outline the outline of the future drawing, before gluing, approximately understand where which ones will be. You can use book or magazine templates, or you can try to come up with a plot or figure on your own. After all, they can become an excellent "simulator" of fantasy and artistic vision.

And such a work may not be submitted to the competition, but not a single walk in the park with a young princess should do without it. You can easily make a real wreath or even a crown out of leaves, either right on the spot, or already at home. In the second case, the sheets can not be woven by tails, but glued onto a finished paper rim, which is then put on the head.

Autumn crafts in kindergarten from natural materials

Speaking of leaves, we have already touched on the topic autumn crafts in kindergarten from natural materials. After all, they are such, truly autumn, and you will not find them at other times of the year. These are not only yellow autumn leaves, but also light acorns, glossy chestnuts, young cones, as well as various vegetables, berries and fruits that ripen at this time of the year.

The most beloved are little men and animals made of acorns and chestnuts. This theme for creativity is simply inexhaustible, because you will not find the same chestnuts, so each such character for the game will turn out with its own personality, its own character. You can tell your own story about each of them in the course of the work. It is best to fasten the components of the figures with the help of ordinary plasticine and toothpicks. To make the fasteners invisible, you can cut the toothpicks into small pieces and sharpen on both sides.

Garlands of multi-colored cones can be made for future use, and then used for New Year's decor. In order for the cones to turn out so bright, they need to be completely covered with paint. In addition to the decorative effect, under a layer of paint, the surface of the cone will be reliably protected from insects, drying out or decay.

Vegetables can become the basis for both small and large crafts. As an example, we can cite such a brave sailboat with a plasticine team, the hull of which is a zucchini. For this job, you will need a medium-sized zucchini or zucchini with a dense skin. With a knife, we evenly cut off the top of the zucchini, but not to the very end, where the tail is, but the first half. We take a dessert spoon and begin to carefully remove the pulp from the vegetable. When, after gouging, you get a boat, this means that you have already done half the work, it is time to draw up a complete ship. We take skewers or toothpicks, they will play the role of the ship's masts. On them you can put sheets of colored paper or squares of leaflets for notes. From the skin that we made at the first stage, we cut out a circle, pierce it with toothpicks, and we get a real steering wheel. We cut out square windows on the sides, because we have a real warship. And such a sailboat cannot do without a bold team, and we sculpt it from colored plasticine.

Ideas: autumn crafts for kindergarten

A couple more fall craft ideas for kindergarten will appear before you. We will make them from felt and paper strips using the quilling technique.

Such sticks, decorated with plants and animals made of felt, can also be independent products, used for puppet theater or telling bedtime stories, and for decorating an apartment, for example, decorating a table for a children's party. To make them you will need sheets of multi-colored felt, wooden skewers and stationery glue. On paper we draw the image of the first figurine - fly agaric. We cut out the pattern and transfer it to felt - a hat to red, a leg to beige, and cut out spots from white. We make all this in two copies, put the stick on the leg with glue applied, put the second leg on top to combine the part, and, holding it with our fingers, wait for the glue to work. Then we glue the skirt and the hat in the same technique, glue the spots on the hat. In the same manner, we make any fairy-tale characters that your baby only wants.

You can safely make an application using the quilling technique with your child, it will be very fun for him to twist striped tubes in his fingers. And then you glue these elements on a piece of paper and you get such an elegant maple leaf - a symbol of golden autumn.
