The lightest crafts made from natural materials. Crafts from branches. DIY children's crafts: funny applications

Making handicrafts from natural materials is a good hobby not only for children, but also for adults. Making something beautiful from what you can find literally under your feet is a real miracle. Moreover, despite the simplicity of execution, such crafts often look very impressive and fit any interior.

Crafts made from natural materials are different. If manufacturing involves working with tools, such as saws or pruning shears, the child should not be allowed to do so. However, working with materials like buds, twigs, or dried herbarium leaves is ideal for children.

Eco-style flower vase

  • You will need some twigs and a regular glass vase.
  • Cover the vase with branches. The branches can be slightly deviated from the vertical position, crossed with each other.

Apple roses

  • Slice the apples as thinly as you can.
  • Boil them gently in sweet syrup (0.5 liters of water per glass of sugar).
  • Roll the slices like a bud. Due to the caramelized sugar, the apple pieces will stick together.
  • Store the craft in a cupcake pan. You can simply serve the apples to the table as a dessert or decorate the cake with them.

Children's crafts from natural materials

In this article you will find more than 25 ideas for making crafts with children from natural materials (leaves, branches, seeds, chestnuts, acorns, vegetables and others) in different techniques. All master classes from this article have been prepared for you by the readers of "Native Path", the participants of the competition.

Craft 1: Maple Leaf Roses

This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Baranova and her daughter Lera and Lera's teacher from the kindergarten MBDOU No. 3 "Ryabinka" (junior group) Inza, Ulyanovsk region. And also Khabibullina Lilia Rustyamovna (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow region of Kazan) and Davletberdina Malik (5 years old).

Material for production:
- maple leaves of bright colors (orange, yellow, red),
- twigs with viburnum berries,
- harsh threads to form a bouquet of roses,
- golden hairspray to strengthen and strengthen the bouquet (optional),
- several strong twigs to strengthen the bouquet of roses.

How to make a bouquet of roses from maple leaves:

Preparation for making crafts: We collect suitable leaves of various colors. We need leaves that are large enough, not too dry, and whole. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are not suitable for making a bouquet. To make one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

Step 1. Take one maple leaf, hold it with the stalk towards you and fold it in half with the right side out. Next, we twist it into a tight roll - a tube. This will be the "heart of the rose", that is, the center of the flower.

Step 2. Now, around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay the "petals". We take another maple leaf, hold it also - with the petiole towards us - and put the prepared core-tube on it closer to the petiole in the middle of the leaf. The front side of the leaf should be inside the future flower. We bend the sheet very carefully outward in half. The edge of the bend of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth the fold of the sheet.

And now we bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward again, but we no longer smooth the fold. Try not to squeeze the fold and keep it elastic.

Step 3. Take the next maple leaf and make the second petal on the other side of our middle - the tube. Continue on until you get a rose flower. Each time you need to take a maple leaf slightly larger than the previous one.

Step 4. Having decorated the flower, you need to tightly wrap the base with threads. A strong, thin twig can be tied tightly to the base to give the flower strength.

Step 5. Having collected a bunch of several roses and decorating it with viburnum branches, you need to tightly wrap all the branches with threads again, collecting them in a bunch.

How many flowers there will be in your bouquet is up to you. Place the prepared leaves evenly in a circle, placing them under the buds in your hand. Then we fix the now finished bouquet at its base with the same threads.

Here is our autumn bouquet of maple leaves and you're done!

Step 6. To add strength, beauty and shine, you can sprinkle the finished roses with golden hairspray. But this is optional.

Another design option for such a bouquet of maple leaves was made by the family of Kasanova Margarita (5 years old), Kazan, MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type" of the Moscow region of Kazan. Teacher - Olga Dmitrievna Kalmykova



Craft 2: corn

This hand-made article was sent to our contest "Autumn workshop" by the educator Rim Elena Anatolyevna (State budget educational institution of the city of Moscow "School No. 166", Subdivision No. 7). And the maize was performed by Yulia Terekhina (5 years old), a pupil of Elena Anatolyevna.

How to make the craft "Corn":

Step 1. Prepare corn cobs (large, medium and small), a cardboard base for crafts, hot glue, fern leaves, spruce cones, acorns, leaves, nuts, cereals (pearl barley), corn decorations (bows, hats, beads, eyes etc.)

Step 2. Form the characters from the corn cobs.

Step 3. Place corn on a cardboard base and decorate the surface with waste material. The craft is ready! Good luck!

Craft 3: autumn forest.

This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Yurievna Kazakova. And it was done by Anna's four-year-old son Maxim in drawing lessons under the guidance of teacher Alexandra Vladimirovna ("Happy Childhood" club, "Kalyaka-malyaka" drawing circle for children, Yoshkar-Ola).

Craft 4: Old Man Lesovichok

This craft was sent by the teacher Tatyana Vladimirovna Fedorova from Birsk (Bashkortostan), MADOU Kindergarten No. 8 "Alenushka". It was made by a child from Tatyana Vladimirovna's group (older group) with the help of a teacher.

Craft material: larch needles and cones, plasticine. All parts of the forestry are made of natural materials and are fastened to each other with plasticine.

Craft 5: Application "Hedgehog"

This hedgehog was made and sent to our autumn competition of children's creativity Sofia (5 years old) and her mother Anna Shikhareva.

Material for making crafts- pine needles, felt, pine cone, cardboard and PVA glue.

If you prefer not an applique, but a voluminous hedgehog, then it can be easily made with children from a piece of plasticine, dried chestnut skin and cut cotton swabs. But this is really a prickly hedgehog, so be careful. Such a hedgehog was made by Ruzaeva Yulia Romanovna and her daughter (2 years 8 months) from St. Petersburg. And you will find another hand-made article of Yulia and her daughter "Giraffe from chestnuts and acorns" in the master class in the article

Craft 6. Hedgehog from piaflora and natural materials

And here is another hedgehog in a different manufacturing technology. It was made and sent to us by Anna Vladimirovna Mironets (mother) and her son - Maxim (4 years 9 months) from the Komi Republic, Syktyvkar.

We need to make crafts:- piaflor, - dried leaves of mountain ash, gooseberry, irgi, - dried flowers, - hairspray.

Description of making crafts:

Step 1. Take half a brick of piaflore and cut out the body of a hedgehog from it (it will resemble a droplet in shape). Sharp corners must be smoothed out by hand. You do not need to soak Piaflor.

Step 2. Divide the dried rowan leaves into separate leaf plates, which are then inserted into piaflor (in the body of a hedgehog).

Step 3. Ears A hedgehog can be made from dried gooseberry leaves. And we will make the legs from dried irgi leaves.

Step 4. Fold the cuttings of the leaves several times. We make eyes and a nose out of them.

Step 6. Secure our craft with hairspray. Here's a hedgehog you get.

Craft 7. Caterpillar and chestnut hedgehog

This craft was made and sent to us at our "Autumn workshop of children's crafts" children 4 years old together with their teacher Tegaeva Olga Nikolaevna (Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, village Shemetovo, mn.Novy, MGBOU d / s No. 75 "Fairy Tale")

To make crafts you will need:

Chestnuts,
- moss,
- branch cut,
- acorn hat,
- tree leaf,
- plasticine.

How to make a caterpillar and a hedgehog from chestnuts:

- Dry the chestnuts to make it easier to separate the prickly peel from the nut.

- While the chestnut nuts are not completely dry, we pierce them with an awl on both sides and insert matches without heads into the resulting holes (for reliability, we glue the matches).

- We form a caterpillar. To do this, select the nuts in size, starting from the largest to the smallest.

- We glue the acorn hat on the caterpillar's head.

- We make caterpillar eyes from plasticine and attach them.

- Glue the caterpillar to the stump.

- Now we make a hedgehog from plasticine, and we make its spiky back from a chestnut peel.

- On the thorns of the hedgehog we put a maple leaf ironed through the sheets of white paper.

- We spread the moss.

Here's a hedgehog - a friend of the caterpillar - you will succeed.

Craft 8. A basket of cones

This craft was made by Polina Durnova (9 years old, Samara, school 118, grade 4B), Maxim Durnov (2 years old) with his mother Svetlana Durnova from Samara, Krasnaya Glinka village. First, Svetlana and her children tried to make a basket of cones as described on the Internet using a glue gun, but ... a day later, the resulting basket lost its shape and "went" in different directions. Therefore, Svetlana came up with her own technology for making a basket of cones.

How to make a basket of cones:

Step 1. Go to the forest, collect a lot of cones.

Helpful hints:

- If you want to make a durable basket that will serve you for a long time, then you need to take into account the following possible fact: closed cones in a warm room open. And this is undesirable if by this time you have already woven a basket. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the cones with a liquid solution of wood glue.

- The strongest connection of the cones to the basket is with a brown wire (in the color of the cones so that it is less visible). To do this, we wrap the first cone with wire, then we continue to wind the cones to the wire in a circle, wrapping each of them. We do this until we get a circle of the desired size. So we make 2 - 3 rings. And then we connect them into a frame. Connect the cones to the basket with a glue gun. But further in the next steps you need to fix this structure.

Step 2. Using a thin wire, fasten the three rings, then connect them into a single basket structure and screw the handle on top. The knobs for the pen are also wrapped with thin wire and then tied with wire to the thick base of the pen or thick wire.

Step 3. Put a cardboard circle at the bottom of the resulting structure. Put the branches of mountain ash with berries and cones from the spruce into the basket. You will get a beautiful autumn composition.

Craft 9: Autumn Ship

Autumn is the time of multicolored ships made of leaves, which set off on a voyage known only to them through endless airspace. The main thing is that the wind is fair. It's time to make your autumn ship.

This ship was made and sent to our autumn workshop of children's handicrafts by Svetlana Nikolaevna Matveeva (Liski, Voronezh region) together with her son (the child's age is 3 years 8 months).

To make a craft - a ship from natural materials, you will need:

- a plastic tray from under the products,

- several leaves that can be found on the street (it is better that at least three leaves of them are large - we use them for the sail),

- a stick for a sail with a length of 20 to 30 centimeters,

- several thin sticks for making pens,

- plasticine of different colors,

- colored paper,

- glue stick,

- ate a few cones,

- parachute seeds of maple or ash-shaped maple (optional, optional)

How to make a craft - a boat from natural materials:

Step 1. We make the torso and head of the sailors. The bodies of the sailors will be cones. We sculpt eyes, mouths and noses from pieces of plasticine, which we attach to the cones so that we get the faces of the sailors.

Step 2. We make caps for sailors - bumps.

For this:

- Using caps of various diameters, we draw circles on colored paper - the future peakless caps of our sailors (select the diameter of the circle of a suitable size).

- Cut out circles.

- From paper of a different color we cut out several thin stripes at the rate of two strips per circle (the length is arbitrary, but it should be borne in mind that these will be visor ribbons, so do not overdo it with the length).

- We glue two stripes to each peakless mug close to each other.

- In the center of each circle-cap we glue a piece of plasticine the size of one or two beans.

- We attach these peakless caps to the tops of our cones - the sailors have peakless caps.

Step 3. We make the arms and legs of the sailors.

- Determine where your sailors will have hands and glue there a couple of pieces of plasticine, to which attach small thin sticks - these will be the hands of the sailors.

- We make our legs from plasticine. The legs should resemble flippers in shape so that the bump stands and does not fall in our ship. To make the legs, we sculpt small but thick “sausages” from pieces of plasticine the size of a walnut, and then flatten them and attach them to the bottom of our cones.

The sailors are ready.

Step 4. Making the sails. With a large stick we make holes in several large leaves, and we stretch the latter through this stick to make several sails on one mast. The joints of the leaves with each other can be slightly glued with plasticine, then the leaves will not slide down on top of each other and go down.

On top of the mast we placed a basket of ash maple "helicopters". To do this, we simply glued a piece of plasticine with these helicopters, dividing them into single seed plates, and then glued this piece of plasticine to the top of the mast. However, such a "basket" is not necessary if you have seeds - there are no "helicopter pilots".

Step 5. Attach the mast to the base of the ship.

To attach the mast to the ship from a plastic tray, we glue a piece of plasticine a little smaller than a walnut to the tray approximately in the middle of it (don't spare plasticine, we need the mast to hold tight). We insert our mast into it. For better fastening of the mast, you can stretch the plasticine a little along the trunk of our mast.

Place our sailors in the boat-tray in the empty spaces, slightly pressing their fins-legs to the bottom so that they stick and hold firmly on the deck. Leaves of different trees and / or flowers can be glued to pieces of plasticine along the sides of the ship, but this is not necessary - see for yourself, how you like best. It is also not necessary to have a dragon head on the bow of your boat.

The bow of the ship can be anything, but we made the head of a dinosaur from plasticine and attached it to the bow of our ship.

The autumn ship is ready and can go to any fairy tale that you want to compose with your child!

Craft 10. Picture to V. Suteev's fairy tale "Under the mushroom" from natural materials

This handicraft for staging Suteev's fairy tale "Under the Mushroom" was made together with the teacher by four-year-old children: Mochalova Katerina, Kuchieva Adel, Krupennikov Kolya, Sbudyshev Vlad, Akhtemenchuk Anatoly and Mukhantseva Yana. The teacher is Svetlana Aleksandrovna Denisova. Children go to kindergarten MADOU d / s No. 2 "Caramelka" ShchMR MO in the city of Shchelkovo, Moscow region.

Preparatory stage: watching the cartoon "Thremok Fungus", reading of V. Suteev's fairy tale "Under the Mushroom".

Materials for making crafts based on a fairy tale from natural materials:

- pine cones, spruce

- plasticine

- wire

- mushroom toy

- basis for crafts

- maple, rowan leaves

- corrugated paper

- scissors

- PVA glue

- pine twig

- matches

- Cork

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:

Step 1. Prepare the base.

We glue the A4 size box with green corrugated paper. On this paper we glue maple leaves, previously ironed through sheets of white paper.

Step 2. We make trees - decorations.

We take a piece of plasticine, roll up a ball and beat it until you get a round cake. On this cake, with a twig upwards, insert a rowan leaf, pre-ironed with an iron through a sheet of paper. You can also insert into a "cake" and a pine twig. Such trees adorn our base.

Step 3. We attach a large mushroom.

In the middle of the base, we attach the finished mushroom - either on plasticine or on glue.

Step 4.D We eat the main characters of the fairy tale (ant, butterfly, sparrow, hare, fox).

All heroes are made from cones and plasticine.

How to mold fairy-tale characters from cones and plasticine:

Ant:

We take a spruce cone. The narrow tip of the bump is drawn out with brown plasticine. Eyes made of black plasticine are attached to the "head" of the ant. The legs can be made of wire, attaching them evenly over the entire bump with plasticine. An antennae for an ant is made from 2 matches without heads.

Sparrow:

a toy is created from a pine cone, eyes - from two small corks, legs - from three matches (attached to plasticine). The beak and tail are made using plasticine: we attach the plasticine to the bump and pull it into the desired shape.

Butterfly:

A butterfly can be created from a spruce cone by attaching two multi-colored corrugated paper circles to it with a wire. To do this, a hole is pierced in the paper (from the edge of the circle closest to the cone), a wire is threaded into the resulting hole and the wing is attached to the component part of the cone. The same action must be done from the other end. The head of a butterfly can be made from plasticine by attaching it to the body of the toy on the narrow side of the cone.

Hare: the toy consists of a spruce cone and blue plasticine. Legs, ears and head are molded from plasticine. The eyes are also made of platilin of a different color.

Fox: A fox is easy to make. We need a fir cone and orange plasticine. The fox's muzzle is molded from plasticine orange sausage, stretched out in the shape of a fox's nose. A black nose is attached to the muzzle.

Step 5. Making a composition based on a fairy tale.

Let's put the heroes under the mushroom. Attach the butterfly in the corner to the base of the composition.

We wish you creative fantasies and imagination, and then you will have your own fairy tale!

Craft 11. Apple caterpillar

This craft was made by Danila Ankushev together with his parents from Strechninsky kindergarten (senior group "Druzhnaya Semeyka"). And the teacher Elena Yaroslavtseva sent us the craft for the autumn workshop.

How to make a caterpillar: the body of the caterpillar is made of apples. We make our legs from earplugs (sold at the pharmacy). Wooden toothpicks are used to hold the parts together. The craft is decorated with a shell from a grape snail.

Another option for making caterpillars from apples was sent to us from the city of Kungur, Perm Territory (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 6"). This caterpillar was performed by Kulyashova Arina, 6 years old. Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna.

How else can you make an apple caterpillar: option 2.

This caterpillar is made from apples. The apples are held together with toothpicks. Legs are cut from carrots. They also stick to toothpicks and walk on autumn leaves glued to a landscape sheet. The fashionista dressed up in chokeberry beads. The berries are collected on a string. The eyes are made of red rowan and also stick to toothpicks. The caterpillar put on a beautiful flower instead of a hat, hooked it on itself with a toothpick and went to the fair.

Arina made such a funny caterpillar made of natural materials.

Craft 12. A cheerful family of acorns

This and the next three crafts from natural materials were made with children by Naumkina Alexandra Albertovna, together with her son Vanya (4 years old) and daughter Masha (1 year 3 months), Barnaul, Altai Territory. Here is what Alexandra writes:

You will need to make crafts:

- a piece of a branch or bark of a tree,

- acorns,

- black marker,

- glue gun or Moment glue.

How to make a fun family out of natural materials:

Step 1. Draw the faces.

I showed my son how to draw a face on an acorn. Gave him a permanent marker and acorns and left him. These are the bizarre faces that turned out.

Step 2. Glue the hats to our little men.

We glued the hats onto the Moment glue.

Step 3. Attach the family.

But I had to tinker with gluing to the bark. I smeared the bark with Moment glue. Place something rectangular in the back to hold the craft while gluing, place the acorns on the bark and leave them to stick.

Please note: only an adult can work with Moment glue in a well-ventilated room without the presence of children. it is toxic. A safe glue gun can be used in place of glue, also used by an adult.

Everything! The cheerful family is ready.

Craft 13. Interior craft "Autumn branch"

We've got a beautiful interior craft. The son did it himself. The main thing is that it is done very simply.

Step 1. We found more interesting branches in the forest and brought them home.

Step 2. Dried the leaves in the books between the pages.

Step 4. Then we decided to complement our composition and make owls from plasticine and settle them on the autumn branches.

For this we took cones, maple seeds ("helicopters") for the wings and plasticine.

I made the first owl, my son did the second.

Attached them to branches on plasticine, they hold well.

Such a beautiful composition now adorns our house! And, most importantly, this craft is very easy to make.

Another option for making an autumn branch was sent to us by Natalya Oshueva (Balashikha) and her son Oshuev Vanya (3 years 8 months).

Autumn twig on the wall: the second version of the mobile

Natalya writes: “I laminated the leaves beforehand. My son and I cut them out, made holes and threaded the strings. The branch was found on the street. They hung it with leaves. The result is a branch with fallen leaves. "

Craft 14: pine cones and salted dough hedgehogs

Alexandra Naumkina shared with us her experience in making hedgehogs with her son.

Step 1. We kneaded the salted dough together with our son. He loves baking so much that he kneads all the dough himself, and I just tell him what to take and in what proportion.

Salt dough recipe (proportions): wheat flour - 2 cups, fine salt - 1 cup, water - 3/4 cups. The finished dough should not crumble or stick to your hands.

Step 2. We blinded two hedgehogs together: a mother and a baby. Here I gave the final shape more. We stuck in the cones and put the stove in the oven.

Step 3. The next day (after the hedgehogs had cooled down), we painted them with gouache paint. But if you need hedgehogs for a longer period, then it is better to use acrylic paints. We sculpted the nose from plasticine and glued the eyes.

My son and I were studying, so my son was so carried away by modeling mushrooms from plasticine that he stuck many different mushrooms for hedgehogs himself.

Craft 15: Autumn Leaf Mobile

for the development of speech breathing in children

This craft from natural materials was also made by Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina for her children - Vanya (4 years old) and Masha (1 year 3 months). This family lives in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory.

Alexandra writes:

“Our craft was born, one might say, spontaneously.

Step 1. As a base for the mobile, I cut a rim from a cardboard disposable plate.

Step 2. Tied yellow yarn on the resulting rim at approximately the same distance. I made a pendant from the same yarn to hold our craft.

Craft 16. Applique from seeds "Hedgehog"

This applique made of natural materials was made by Khaliullin Artur (6 years old) from the Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type of the Moscow region of Kazan. Teacher: Khaliullina Rafida Raisovna.

You will need:

- paper,

- pencil,

- PVA glue,

- seeds,

- colored pencils (markers),

- leaves for decoration,

- spruce branches.

Craft progress:

Step 1. Draw a hedgehog with thorns on paper. If the child is already old enough, then he can draw a hedgehog himself.

Step 2. Apply a thick layer of PVA glue to the back of the hedgehog. Then we spread the seeds on a layer of glue. Make sure that the sharp tips of the seeds are directed in one direction.

Step 3. Color in the hedgehog's face and legs with colored pencils.

Step 4. Decorate the background with rowan and birch leaves; cones, spruce branches.

Craft 17. Applique from wheat "Lion"

"Wheat lion cub" is a children's craft - an applique made of fleece and wheat. It is very simple to make this craft. First, we glue spikelets of wheat on colored cardboard, and then on top of it we glue the face of a lion cub. We glue "Liquid nails" on glue.

This craft was made by a 5-year-old child, and Irina Babarinova from the city of Sergiev-Posad sent us to our competition for children's crafts (GBOU "School №166 SP №7", Moscow).

Craft 18. Lady - cabbage and Forest tale

These handicrafts were made from natural materials by children from Bataysk.

The work is made from a head of cabbage. Eyes, nose, mouth are made from purchased blanks for soft toys. The head is decorated with a wreath of rowan and leaves. The stand can be any, it is decorated with material and decorated with leaves.

Forest Fairy Tale is made of natural materials. The little fairy is made of autumn flowers. Firebird - from the cone and ash seeds. The work is decorated with natural materials collected by children.

Crafts from natural materials 19. Autumn meadow

This craft was sent to us by the teacher Samigullina Lilia Rustemovna from Kazan. And he made this craft with the help of adults Izmailov Rodion (3 years old), a pupil of MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow region of Kazan.

Required material: Box, scissors, PVA glue, plasticine, natural materials (cones, dry leaves, acorns, chestnut peel), toothpicks.

How to make an autumn meadow with children:

Step 1. Prepare a box for the base of the craft. Cut off one side of the box so that the autumn meadow is visible.

Step 2. We attach dry leaves to the inside of the box, decorate it with various natural materials (cones, toys, pebbles).

Step 3. We make fairy-tale characters from chestnuts. We make crafts from fruits that have just fallen from a tree, while they are soft (this applies to crafts from chestnuts, acorns and cones).

The main way with which we will fasten the parts of the crafts is plasticine and toothpicks. For this:

- first, carefully pierce the chestnuts with an awl,

- insert toothpicks into the resulting holes and fix the joints with glue.

In the photo, the bear is made of chestnuts and plasticine, the man is made of chestnuts and acorns, a hedgehog is made of chestnuts and plasticine, an owl is made of chestnuts.

The eyes of birds are made of acorn caps, and bird beaks, legs and wings are made of plasticine.

Spiders can also be made from chestnuts. In the chestnut, small holes are made with an awl in the places where the legs will be attached. Spider legs are made from toothpicks, which are inserted into holes in chestnuts and secured with glue.

Craft 21. Autumn sun from natural materials

The idea of ​​this craft was shared with us by Maria Shchukina, mother of two children (Vova - 4 years and 8 months and Anyuta - 1 year and 3 months), St. Petersburg. Maria writes: “This is my favorite autumn handicraft, and I have been hatching this idea for a long time. We did it with great pleasure :). We invented everything ourselves. "

What you need to make the autumn sun from natural materials:

- PVA glue,

- a lot of autumn leaves from different trees and shrubs (we even collected from wild rose),

- rowan berries,

- dog-rose fruit,

- acorns,

- watercolor paints,

- threads and a needle,

- any natural material.

How to make a sun from natural materials with children:

Step 1 Draw a large circle on an A3 size drawing paper and glue it over with maple leaves. We collected the leaflets in advance, and for some time they were kept in our journal. Thus, they became very smooth and easily adhered to the paper.

Step 2 Then we connect imagination and also glue any leaves and natural materials according to your taste in a circle. The circle becomes more voluminous.

Step 3 Draw the face of the sun: eyes, nose and mouth.

The mood of the autumn sun can be anything - cheerful or sad, surprised or delighted - whoever feels the autumn mood, discuss this with the children when making crafts.

Step 4 Sew on rowan earrings for the sun (you can sew on rose hips, any flowers). I used the largest needle and simply sewed the rowan to the Whatman paper like a regular fabric. At the same time, on the back of the Whatman paper, I secured the thread with tape. Many other decorations can also be sewn on.

Step 5 In the upper corners of the Whatman paper, glue the acorns with PVA glue, having previously cut them in half lengthwise. I hope you enjoy our autumn sun made from improvised natural materials :).

Craft 22. Applique from the shell. Autumn Walk

This creative work was performed by Nastya Kuznetsova, 6 years old. And Maria Sharygina (Vologda) sent it to us for the autumn workshop of children's handicrafts.

How to make a craft:

- First, we put a pencil drawing on the paper.

- Then, on the silhouettes of the crown and trunks of trees, we glue small pieces of egg shells. We are waiting for the glue to dry.

Craft 23. Hut on the edge of the forest

This children's craft from natural materials was made by Dergunova Anastasia Viktorovna and her nephew Alexander (6 years old) from Saransk, Republic of Mordovia.

How to make a craft:

Step 1. Leaves of various shapes (birch, mountain ash, maple, etc.) are painted with paints of different colors and applied to a blank sheet of paper so that prints remain on it. Draw the sun with paints.

Step 2. While the leaf prints are dry, we will break the sticks of the required diameter from a small branch for the hut. We grease the paper in the place where the hut will be in the future, with glue and lay out the hut from the sticks, in the middle of which we place a birch leaf as a window.

Step 3. With a stapler we attach the leaves and a rowan bush in the clearing.

Step 4. We coat the bottom of the clearing with glue and lay out a path made of watermelon seeds.

Step 5. Cut out the sun circle and rays from birch leaves, then glue them onto the already dried sun. From black and blue threads we spread a cloud in the sky in the upper part of the craft.

Children's crafts from natural materials "on the go"

It is not necessary to make a complex children's craft. Many crafts from natural materials can be made on the go, without preparation. They can be used as quick-create attributes for children's play. Oshueva Natalya Mikhailovna (Balashikha) shared her ideas with us. Here are some very simple crafts she did with her son Vanya at the age of a child of 3 years 8 months and with her daughter Masha (1 year 4 months).

Leaf wreath

We collect a lot of leaves for a walk, string them on a wire. We connect the ends of the wire and get an autumn wreath of leaves. We hang the wreath by the rope. We also decorate the rope with leaves.

Crown of leaves

The crown is very easy to make.

Step 1. A blank was made of paper - a "hoop" according to the size of the child's head, about 5 cm wide.

Step 2. We glued double-sided tape on top, and then my daughter glued the leaves onto it.

Autumn trees

Natalya writes: “We used toilet paper rolls and corrugated paper cut into strips to quickly make autumn trees. The kids pushed the paper into the roll as they could. In the end, it turned out well, bright and autumnal. "

Autumn branches and autumn leaves collected during a walk can also be placed in a roll.

Pine cones

We used fluffy wire in this craft. They took a cone, wrapped it with orange fluffy wire. Next, leaves of green fluffy wire were attached to it. To make green spring leaves, we first wound the wire around a pencil, then removed it from the pencil and got green spirals.

Hedgehog

For making a hedgehog, we used an eaten sunflower.

- The muzzle and body were cut out of polystyrene. It is better to do it in advance by an adult.

- Above the muzzle was covered with plasticine.

- "Needles" - the sunflower was glued to the foam with glue using a hot gun.

- Decorated a clearing for a hedgehog with autumn leaves and cones.

Autumn is rich in wonderful gifts of nature. Some of them delight us with culinary delights, because you can cook delicious dishes from a variety of vegetables and fruits, while others, in the form of multicolored foliage, show mercy to the eye with their bright colors. Usually, all this beauty almost instantly falls like a motley veil on the ground, which is why it very quickly loses its attractiveness. Unfortunately, few people know what can be done from thereby prolonging his life. But crafts made from leaves, cones and chestnuts are not only funny figures and appliques (although how can you imagine childhood without these cute little things?), But also an original and truly beautiful home decor.

+100 500 options and ideas

So what can be made from natural material? It all depends on what the craft is for. In today's article, we will consider more than one option for excellent products that you can create yourself using only available tools at hand. Many of them are children's handicrafts, for example, various animals made from natural materials, toys, and even characters from cartoons and computer games. But it can also be unusual trees, topiary, unique panels and compositions that will delight and remind you of the wonderful autumn season in cold winter.

It is impossible to describe all those masterpieces that are created by talented needlewomen from natural materials. An autumn bouquet or photo frame, an original vase or decorative figurine, a Christmas tree toy or a picture - the imagination of talented masters is simply endless. Moreover, their work does not stop at soulless interior items, extending much further. For example, for decorating a children's photo shoot using ordinary grass, leaves, grains and maple seeds. Have you ever imagined that such beauty can be made of natural material? Of course, the end result will appeal not only to adults, but also to the children themselves, who can be involved in all the stages of creating a photo collage, from collecting plants to decorating their own pictures.

Transformation of flora into fauna

To begin with, we will tell you how a variety of animals are made from natural material. First of all, let's distinguish between the types of crafts. These can be applications that are created using leaves and small elements. Such material is usually glued to the base - a cardboard sheet, fabric or wooden plank with a glue stick or PVA. Such a composition turns out to be flat and looks like a picture.

With the help of leaves and blades of grass, you can create a variety of representatives of the animal world, the main thing is to choose the right material in terms of colors, size and texture. The craft will "come to life" if it is supplemented with a drawing, making the animals a muzzle, tail or even prey. Miniature parts can also be created from natural material by trimming the leaves in some places to remove excess. It is better to glue the elements on a schematic representation of an animal, so it will be easier to maintain symmetry and pick up individual parts of the figure.

However, there is another type of craft in the form of animals. It can be a bulk composition of natural material. Most often, nuts, acorns, cones and chestnuts are used. The body and head are made of them, and matches, twigs, floral wire or plasticine serve as legs, paws, neck. Making such crafts from natural materials quickly and beautifully, you can even use ready-made animal figurines, if only they fit organically into the overall concept.

Wayward tangle

The most popular hero and prototype of children's figurines at kindergarten exhibitions is none other than a hedgehog. This thorny inhabitant of the forest is not in vain considered a symbol of autumn, because the attributes of this season are very "suitable" for him: nuts, mushrooms, apples and berries. A hedgehog made of natural material can be made from leaves, for example, like this in the photo below.

Its creation will not be difficult. The main thing is to pick up many leaves of the same size and shape. Elongated leaves with sharp tips are best suited, from which needles for a thorny lump will turn out. You can decorate a hedgehog with an apple and a mushroom of a different color; the muzzle, tummy and paws should also be slightly different from the animal's fur coat. The finishing touches are the bean nose, mouth and eyes.

Below is another hedgehog made from natural material, made from plasticine and pumpkin seeds. This is a voluminous craft, miniature, but extremely cute. By placing a hedgehog on an impromptu stump and complementing it with a green spruce twig and a bunch of red berries (mountain ash, hawthorn, rose hips), you complete the work and you will have a wonderful composition from natural material.

Winged miracle

Another favorite of children and adults is the round-eyed owl. This bird can be made in a variety of ways: from a piece of bark, feathers, threads, leaves. We will demonstrate to our readers a wonderful and very simple craft. Such an owl made of natural material consists of a pine cone, several acorn caps, "helicopters" taken from an ash or maple, a hop cone and a couple of pieces of bark. In order to assemble the craft, you need to stock up on good glue - it can be "Moment", "Second" or silicone for a hot gun.

Such an owl is made from natural material very quickly:

  • you need to prepare the details by selecting a lush cone, disconnecting the caps from the acorns and picking up small pieces of bark;
  • the material must be cleaned of dirt and dried well so that the glue will reliably connect the parts of the owl;
  • on the sides, the bark should be glued to the cone-body - these will be the wings;
  • in the upper part, using acorn caps, we form eyes, and above them we attach maple seeds - these are eyebrows;
  • the final touch is a small bump that will become a beak.

In such a simple way, we get a wonderful bird from natural material, which will not be difficult to get in any city park.

Autumn landscape

Talking about crafts, it is impossible to ignore this kind of creativity as applique. A little higher, we already talked about how you can lay out figurines of animals and birds with the help of leaves, but what else can you make from natural material? An excellent craft would be a fantasy landscape in which one leaf will turn into a whole tree, and their combination will turn into a real dense forest. To compose such a composition, it is very important to choose the ideal material, because it will need to be glued on the paper in its entirety, and when unfolded, all flaws will be visible on the sheet. With the help of such an application, you can visually demonstrate all the riot of colors of fading nature and organically place leaves taken from different trees.

Autumn vegetation also gets an unusual embodiment in the form of representatives of the underwater world. From miniature oblong and oval leaves, very plausible flocks of nimble fish are obtained, a larger material can be easily turned into a pot-bellied crucian carp, and various blades of grass and thin twigs will make up the flora growing on the bottom of the sea. Having arranged the composition inside a cardboard box, you will get a wonderful "aquarium".

Simple but tasteful

There are crafts in our list that will not be so easy to make, because it will take a little longer than creating familiar products from leaves and fruits, but they are more durable, practical and useful. This primarily applies to wall panels. The basis of our proposed compositions is a plank, but it can be replaced with a cardboard covered with fabric. It can be burlap, linen canvas, The purpose of the work is to create a certain plot, it can be a village house, a forest landscape, a river, an apiary, a shed with firewood or a small cart. On the basis of the proposed photo, you can make excellent crafts from natural material in the garden, which will be useful not only as an exhibition exhibit, but also become an excellent decoration for the group.

To create the elements of the composition, you will need to prepare different items:

  • even sticks;
  • small twigs that resemble trees;
  • pieces of bark for walls, roofs, mountains;
  • small and neat leaves;
  • dried flowers;
  • nutshells;
  • "Log" of sticks.

You can add color variety with the help of pre-made pumpkin and apple figurines. With the help of paints, it will be necessary to finalize the picture, completing the patterns on buildings and other man-made elements (for the same purpose, you can use a burner), landscape, sky. All parts are attached to the base with glue.

The collection of panels must be started, as in the case of the applique, with the creation of a schematic image. This will help determine the places of arrangement of the elements, their sizes and visual harmonization of the entire composition. It will be better to open the craft on top with varnish - this will make it more resistant to external influences.

Wish tree

The next in our review will be a tree made from natural material. This topic is relevant in several seasons, as it can be an autumn or winter craft. Additional materials are used in each case, although the basis is often the same - a beautiful branch. Only in the case of an autumn craft, it remains untreated, but from a natural material it can be coated with a layer of white or silver acrylic paint.

Any materials you like are used as a decor for a tree - these are leaves and garlands from them, berries, nuts, fruits, miniature crafts, including paper. In this list, bumps should be separately noted - they are the basis for many interesting ideas.

From those that grow on Christmas trees, you can easily create wonderful elves - real forest spirits. Curly oak leaves will become their wings, a bunch of dyed wool for felting or floral sisal will turn into luxurious hair, and wonderful caps can be made from felt or acorn. It will be a bit a pity to take such crafts from natural material to the kindergarten - they turn out to be so funny.

Topiary from natural material

Recently, topiary holds the palm among autumn handicrafts. From natural material, you can make many options for small trees with a round crown. Traditionally, it is a ball decorated with flowers, shells, nuts, coffee beans or any other medium-sized objects that can be compactly and neatly fixed to the base. The crown is installed on a trunk planted in a small flower pot.

Autumn flowers are a separate topic of conversation. Nature, preparing for a long winter, pleases with a stunning abundance of chrysanthemums, oak, asters and dahlias. Their lush, colorful corollas are perfectly combined with a variety of natural materials. The classic composition can be generously flavored with luxurious maple leaves, a crimson branch of wild grapes or a twig of yellow-lettuce willow. Bushy plants with late elastic berries (rosehip, hawthorn, mountain ash) will be a wonderful and especially relevant addition.

A bouquet of autumn leaves and flowers can be small, crowning one small vase, but a multi-tiered composition will look no less appropriate. When composing it, it is important to observe proportions, making each new "floor" slightly smaller than the previous one.

Seasonal decor

Finally, we will share with the readers the ideas of original autumn crafts, with which you can decorate the house, make it a little cozier and warmer. The colorful foliage on the trees will not please for long, with the first frost it will fall off, but it is very easy to make the view from the window not so dull and gray. To do this, you just need to string small, but necessarily beautiful leaves on long threads or fishing line in the form of garlands, which decorate the window openings.

Golden autumn can also be "brought" home in the form of graceful candlesticks or vases. To do this, a jar of an interesting shape or an ordinary transparent glass must be pasted over in a circle with colored leaves. The freshly collected material will not fall nicely on the vessel; first, it will need to be dried a little so that the elasticity leaves the leaf, and it becomes more pliable. You need to work with ordinary PVA, it will perfectly fix the decor on the glass, and after drying it will become transparent. In addition, this type of glue will not be afraid of the heat of a burning candle inside the glass.

Crafts from natural material to school- this is a variety of animal figurines, applications and bizarre compositions for which you can use the gifts of nature collected in parks, in the garden or in the forest. A child for creativity can use chestnuts and acorns, cones, all types of nuts, berries - barberry, mountain ash, rosehip, hawthorn, pine and spruce twigs, as well as other conifers, maple seeds. In addition, you can use leaves of all shapes and sizes, dried flower petals. Let's not forget about seeds, seeds and grains that you can borrow from the kitchen. But they will be interesting to mothers, because you can make beautiful autumn bouquets for home decoration with your own hands.


Craft from natural material to school

There is an opinion that today materials for creativity are very expensive, but sometimes it is enough to look around and you will see that nature itself gives us everything we need to create original crafts. In autumn, in the park and in the forest, and sometimes on the territory of a school or kindergarten, you can collect small pine cones, chestnuts and acorns with hats, hazelnuts and walnuts, autumn colorful leaves - of different sizes and shapes. Craft from natural material to school"Dragonfly" is made using small chestnuts and multi-colored plasticine. Such work will be available for preschoolers 4-5 years old, as well as for elementary school students.

Chestnuts are best chosen in different sizes, but always small. When creating a dragonfly, the chestnuts must be arranged in descending order: the smallest will be in the tail. A dragonfly should also have wings, for this you can use oblong leaves or dried flower petals. And if you forgot to prepare autumn leaves for crafts, then you can use colored paper and cut out the wings of the required shape. For each wing, you need to make two blanks or prepare two oblong leaves.

The main decoration of the Dragonfly is its large bulging eyes, with which we will begin the execution crafts from natural materials to school, photo a lesson in this simple craft will help the child cope with the work on his own, give all the tips on the main stages of its implementation. The eyes should be positioned on the largest chestnut so that they are on the sides. For the eyes, you need to roll up two large white balls and flatten them a little, glue a small blue ball on top of each. Ready-made plasticine eyes can be fixed on a large chestnut.

In total, we need five chestnuts and five plasticine balls, which will serve as a fastener between the parts. When we put all the elements together, we have a long sausage. It remains to attach the wings - they will be bright, and they will be attached to plasticine. Zinnia leaves look very nice. The petals must be attached to the plasticine, two on each side (the wings should be X-shaped). They can now be attached to the dragonfly's body between the second and third chestnuts from the head.


Craft from natural material to school 2nd grade

How about making acorn penguins? Craft from natural material to school 2nd grade- This is an interesting lesson in creativity, where children can work together, creating a composition on the theme "Autumn". Penguins can also be used for, because these birds look more harmoniously on a winter landscape.

For work, you only need acorns with and without hats, and plasticine to make all the small additional details - beak, eyes, wings. If you wish, you can use paints with which to paint acorns in black and designate a white tummy. With the help of paints, you can make it bright.

First you need to make a beak, for this we blind a small cone using red or orange plasticine. The beak must be attached in the middle of the acorn. On top, on the wide side, it is necessary to attach eyes, for this you need blue (or black) and white plasticine.

When the face of our penguin is finished, you can make the wings and legs to make the figure stable. For the wings, you need black plasticine, they must be made in the shape of an "eye" and attached to the body on the sides, bend or left straight for realism. The penguin can flap its wings or hold some object in them, for example, a small plasticine book.

A simple craft from natural material to school almost ready, but in order for it to stand steadily on the working surface, it is necessary to attach legs. Each foot should have a drop-like shape, and the claws can be distinguished in a stack. Now the penguin can try on his hat, on the tip of which you can also attach a plasticine pompom.


Crafts to school from natural material "Autumn"

A nutshell will help you make a craft from natural material to school, you will have a cute turtle. You can use not only walnut shells, but also halves of pistachio shells, peanuts. The main thing is to make beautiful eyes, because this is the main decoration of our craft. You will need two small black beads and two white sequins.

The shell of the turtle will be a half of a walnut shell, to which you need to glue the legs - halves of a pistachio shell. It is necessary to glue two on both sides of the walnut shell. They should be directed slightly at an angle to the shell, as if our turtle is slowly crawling forward.

We have the body with paws ready, it remains only to attach the head, for this ideal peanut shell is suitable. It does not need to be split in half, but cut diagonally in the middle. You have a turtle with a large head and a long neck. Now you need to glue the eyes: first, sequins, and on top of them in the center - black small beads. With a red felt-tip pen, you can draw the smiling mouth of our turtle.

In this craft, we use glue to fix all the parts. If the child performs it independently, then it is necessary to work with synthetic glue carefully.

For crafts to school from natural material "Autumn" you can use the same materials, only this time you can make a club-footed bear. For the bear, we need to prepare four halves of a walnut, four halves of a pistachio shell and one very small half, two more cherry or cherry seeds, one acorn head. Such a simple and accessible set of materials will allow the child to plunge headlong into the world of creativity, and from individual parts to compose a cute bear - the owner of the forest.

By creating crafts to school from natural material, video you can use it as an additional guide, but we are sure that using photo lessons, the child will be able to cope with this task on his own.

For the body of the bear cub, you need to glue four walnut shells in pairs. You can use whole walnuts as well, but they are heavy enough that the teddy bear may be unstable. We advise you to carefully separate the two halves of the shell with a knife, remove the core, and then glue them back together. Of course, at this stage, the student will need adult help. It is desirable that one nut be larger, the second smaller, which will become the head of our bear.

Two nuts should be glued together perpendicularly, so the bear will have a convex muzzle. Sweet cherry seeds will play the role of ears, they must be glued to the top nut. The acorn hat must be glued in front of the head detail, so we will select the muzzle of the forest animal. For the eyes and nose, we can use small beads or sequins.

The pistachio halves will be our paws. On the upper part of the body, they are glued on the sides, as shown in the picture, and the hind legs are glued at the bottom perpendicularly. Thanks to such paws, the bear will be stable and will be able to take its place in the autumn composition. You also need to glue the tail - it can be another cherry bone or half a pistachio. Do not forget to add realism to the bear at the end by drawing the claws on the paws with a black felt-tip pen, and drawing on the mouth on the muzzle with red.


Exhibition of handicrafts made from natural materials at school

When is it competition of crafts from natural materials at school, many parents take on the bulk of the work, believing that the more difficult they choose a craft, the more chances that it will be the winner.
