Crafts from sweet pepper. DIY crafts from fruits and vegetables

Marina Suzdaleva

The participants of "" have already spent the first week with their kids according to the fairy tale "Turnip". And the most creative mothers made crafts from vegetables and fruits with their own hands together with their children. Judging by the reviews, such a creative activity served not only as a good development of the imagination, but also had a positive effect on the appetite of the players!

Craft materials:

The idea to do it came up pretty quickly. My son loves technology! In addition, I wanted to come up with something that he would really be interested in doing. And also something voluminous, not flat, so that you can play with the craft a little, and not hang it on the wall. Everything else was my dad's idea.

At first they thought to collect for toothpicks, but then they decided - we have a man growing! The son, with great enthusiasm, scored all the carnations and glued the headlights. Then he gathered the driver: Chipollino.

As a machine, the craft did not last very long. But after the game, Yura cooked vegetable soup for a very long time and fed everyone with it.

Vegetable Crafts: Butterfly and Racing Car

My name is Maria and I have two children Vasilisa 6.5 years old and Mark 11 months old.

My daughter designed and made the craft herself. Vasilisa decided to do butterfly. It consisted of the following vegetables:

  • carrot - body;
  • lettuce - wings;
  • basil - decoration.

The butterfly also had legs and a face.

The second piece is flower. Unfortunately, the photo has not survived. consisted of the following vegetables:

  • chopped cucumbers - stalk;
  • lettuce leaves and radish - flower petals;
  • tomato is the middle.

Mark helped dad with racing car. The wheels were a carrot on toothpicks, the hull was a cucumber, and a tomato sat in the driver's seat. As soon as everything was done, they came up with a fairy tale about new characters. A whirlwind of fantasy took her daughter far, far away. And in the end everything was quickly eaten!

Reproduction of a painting by Giuseppe Arcimboldo

I thought for a long time what would be so unusual and interesting to do with fruits and vegetables in order to surprise and please my daughter. I remembered Giuseppe Arcimboldo and his painting "Portrait of Emperor Rudolph II in the Image of Vertumn"! The ancient Italian god of natural abundance and Vertumn, was considered the god of transformations. And the Italian painter captured the image of the emperor from a variety of vegetables and fruits, for which he was awarded the title of count palatine.

The theme of vegetables and fruits fit perfectly into the scenario of a fabulous week, and we decided to make a reproduction of a picture of their real fruits. At the same time, we will touch a little beauty by harvesting the grandmother from the "Turnip".

We found aesthetically looking products in the refrigerator, viburnum, cones and chestnuts just lay on the balcony. My daughter was able to lay out part of her hair and beard.

Of course, we don’t pretend to be similar, we got our own colorful character, but, in my opinion, it’s also very cute :)

Svetlana Klichova and Lera, 2 years 4 months old, Moscow

I thought for a long time what to do. In one of the tales, Vanya especially liked the fox. So we decided to make it from boiled carrots and fasten it with toothpicks.

I cooked 3 carrots of different sizes, cleaned them, made a torso and a muzzle out of a large one. When they fastened the torso with the muzzle, Vanya kept trying to tear off his head. Then they also stuck the handles and legs of the chanterelle with the help of toothpicks. When Vanya realized what happened, he laughed! In general, she did not live long. Vanya began to take it apart and eat.

Geido Olga and son Vanya (1 year 3 months), from Novosibirsk.

The idea of ​​​​creating an edible car did not come by chance. My son is still introduced to all new things through his mouth, and he just raves about cars, especially tractors. So we tried to make an edible car: it’s tasty and you can play. Because My son doesn't have many skills yet, so we decided to focus on something not very complicated. To complete the machine, we needed:

  • Apple;
  • Toothpicks;
  • Cucumber;
  • Grape.

Instead of an apple, you can take a pear, then the silhouette will be even more interesting.

It is necessary to cut the apple in half and then cut lengthwise into slices. The axis will serve as toothpicks. But the wheels - cucumber and grapes. Everything is ready, you can start ...

I assembled the first typewriter myself, showing and telling my son what to do and why. The son collected the second typewriter on his own, but with the help of his grandmother. First, he stuck one toothpick into an apple slice, after which he began to string on it on one side, first a circle of cucumber, and then half a grape berry. Then he repeated this procedure on the other side. Having made the front wheels, we turned the car over and he stuck a second toothpick into the apple, marking the second axis. On which he first strung slices of cucumber, and after grapes.

The most difficult thing in the work was not to let my son eat all the details of the machine in the process. But the result exceeded all expectations. After finishing work, the son took his typewriter and purred, rolling it on the table.

Still life "Forest clearing"

To create a still life you need:

  1. Potatoes - a few pieces, depending on how many and what size the mushrooms will be;
  2. Greens to create grass. In our case: parsley and cabbage leaf;
  3. The lid of the box is preferably brown, as if the earth.

Process of creation:

  1. Together with the child, start tearing the cabbage leaf and tearing off the parsley leaves to create “greens” at the bottom of the lid from the box;
  2. While the child is passionate about this process, peel one part of the potato and shape it into a column (this is the stem of the mushroom), and cut the second part in half (this will be the mushroom cap) and cut out the container inside to keep the hat on the leg;
  3. Collecting still life.

Work is ready!

Hedgehog made of pear and counting sticks

We created a hedgehog from a pear and needles - counting sticks, which we stuck into this very pear with a baby. I made hedgehog legs from apple slices.

Misha took an active part, but only when getting needles :)

Kudryashova Nadezhda and Misha (1.2 years old), St. Petersburg.

We made a hedgehog and a fox out of fresh potatoes, carrots, matches and beans. While peeling potatoes, I accidentally stumbled upon two very curved potatoes that looked like animals. She inserted the eyes from beans and fresh carrots herself, cut out holes for the ears of the chanterelle, Olesya, with my help, inserted ears from fresh carrots there. We inserted needles into the hedgehog, first from toothpicks, then from matches.

Do you want to play with your child easily and with pleasure?

The clearing was sprinkled with green grass (dill), the hedgehog brought apples (pieces of carrots) and pears. Then we painted our animals with brown gouache with cotton swabs.

Olga Antonenko from Yaroslavl and daughter Olesya 1 year 4 months.

We prepare the necessary materials:

  • Potato - 1 pc;
  • Carrots - 1 pc;
  • Plasticine black, white, red, green;
  • Spaghetti.

Manufacturing process:

  1. Mix red and green plasticine until brown;
  2. We attach brown plasticine to the potato and draw out the muzzle;
  3. We roll 2 balls from white plasticine and attach eyes;
  4. From black plasticine we make 3 balls: 1 larger and 2 smaller. From them we make a nose and pupils;
  5. Cut out 2 circles from carrots. We make longitudinal holes in the “head” of the mouse and insert the ears;
  6. We make a ponytail and antennae from spaghetti and our mouse is ready.

You can play!

Victoria Pechieva, mother of 2 kids: Anastasia (2 years 5 months) and Matvey (8 months). Krasnodar Territory, Belorechensk.

We needed:

  • Pear -1 pc;
  • Grapes - 10 pcs;
  • Toothpicks - 10 pieces.

We decided to make a hedgehog. To begin with, we examined the pear - touched, smelled and nibbled a little. They unscrewed her tail (stalk), and for strength I put dough under it so that the pear would not roll. Then, similarly investigated grapes. We already know toothpicks.

Manufacturing process: Put a pear on the dough. Then I gave my daughter toothpicks, took her hand in mine and we inserted the toothpicks into the pear. Of course, it was not without pulling out the toothpicks back. They touched everything, felt it, the prickly needles of the hedgehog ... Similarly, they planted grapes on toothpicks, bit them a little in the process, well, that's nothing ... And to top it off, they put a bunch of grapes on top. Here we have a hedgehog.

Alla Shuvalova, daughter Lenochka, 10 months old. We are from Samara.

For a creative contest of crafts from vegetables, they decided to make characters of the same fairy tale: a dog, a cat, a mouse.

For crafts you will need:

  • carrot;
  • beet;
  • potato;
  • toothpicks or matches;
  • plasticine;

Wash vegetables, dry. Body parts are fastened together with toothpicks. Eyes, ears, tails are plasticine, they need to be attached to a toothpick, because. plasticine does not stick to the peel.

Our dog is made of carrots, the cat is made of potatoes, the mouse is made of beets. They did it with the whole family, the daughter chose the colors of the plasticine and pinched off the pieces. As soon as they made all the characters, they immediately played a fairy tale! Previously, crafts from vegetables were not made, and without your competition, they probably would not have been done either.

Gulnara Gazizova, daughter Leysan (2.3 years), Chelyabinsk.

Craft idea: the horse is carrying the heroes of the fairy tale "Turnip" from the harvest in a cart and stopped to smell the flowers on the stump, where the hedgehog is still sitting.

Materials:

  • vegetable marrow;
  • carrot;
  • potatoes;
  • cabbage leaves;
  • toothpicks;
  • eye stickers.

Creation process: cut out the insides of a zucchini, cut it into a muzzle and torso. The part that was not included in the composition became a stump. Indentations (hooves) were cut out from potatoes. Carrots were cut into 4 rectangles (these are legs), another carrot into circles (cart wheels). They cut out plates (ears), thin straws (flower stems). All the components of the horse were put on toothpicks (my daughter stuck them in, I stringed them).

Cabbage leaves were placed around the plate and my daughter stapled them together. And on the toothpicks she attached the wheels.

This article contains a complete collection of cute crafts with themes suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn competitions at school are often arranged on the topic of crafts from vegetables (and not just from chestnuts and cones). It often happens that your child did not immediately tell you about the competition, often you will learn about the craft by Monday only on Sunday evening. And therefore, it is important to quickly evaluate the contents of your pantry and find an idea in the depths of the Internet that will suit your vegetable stock. That is why the author decided to combine all types of vegetables and fruits in one article that can take part in creating crafts for the garden and school. You do not need to shovel heaps of Internet pages. Here you will find all kids craft ideas- all in one article.

Here's what we'll be doing today:

  • Crafts from cucumber, pepper.
  • Crafts for the garden from onions, cabbage and potatoes.
  • Crafts and eggplant and zucchini.
  • Carved sculptures made of carrots and radishes.
  • Flat crafts-pictures of vegetables and fruits.
  • Animal crafts made from oranges, kiwis, bananas and lemons.
  • Crafts from watermelons, pineapples, and melons.
  • And in a separate article - children's pumpkin crafts.

Crafts from vegetables

We will start with vegetable children's crafts ... and then we will move on to sweet fruit sculptures. You will see that a chipmunk can be made from an ordinary onion. And cut out roses from radishes that will bloom themselves if you put them in a glass of water. What am I talking about ... now you will see everything for yourself.

Archery crafts for school and garden

From vegetables, as well as from fruits, you can make many interesting sculptures. Here are the onion chickens. We take out the young onion from the garden right along with the stem, and cut the stem-stem into feathers - we push them apart and put this “panicle” on the column-base of carrots.

And here is another red onion craft. Chipmunk with white stripes and fluffy tail from onion feathers. I will tell you in detail how to make it with your own hands ...

Take two red onions suitable size and shape (it is better to take fresh bulbs, straight from the garden - then they are even in color and elastic). And we immediately make white stripes on them - for this you need to cut the upper skin of the onion with a blade and then carefully remove it (like shavings) to get a white “bald patch” in this place.

We form a little body- we take a long wooden skewer, or a toothpick - we stick it into the onion-tummy in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe future neck. And on the protruding end we stick an onion-head.

Making a tail- bend the green onion feathers in the shape of a tail, the lower part of the tail tie with thread or rubber band in a bundle .. And in a saucepan making sugar syrup(3 tablespoons of sugar + half a teaspoon of water) - when the sugar melts and cooks with this sticky sweet glue, coat the onion feathers (so that they stick together into a single tail) - dry it all. And then we pierce the lower and middle part of the tail-bun with toothpicks and stick it into the back of the onion-butt.

Paws- these are incisions on the onion-tummy. In order for the paws to detach and protrude from the tummy, you can put pieces of plasticine under them. Ears these are small slices-slices from another onion - we stick them into the slits-slits on the chipmunk's head. Eyes- these are olives (you can use raisins, or pieces of black eggplant skin). Antennae are also white cuts on the colored skin of the bulb.

With onion feathers, you can glue a rectangular box (from tea or cookies) and make a vegetable tape recorder or radio receiver out of such a blank! Vegetable buttons are pierced with toothpicks or glued to sugar syrup (see recipe in onion chipmunk).

Crafts from a pumpkin

Pulp carving

Crafts from pumpkin pulp. Even pumpkin pulp can be a source of beautiful crafts. The pumpkin is soft enough to carve whatever your heart desires. For example, these majestic pink flamingos.

Birds can also be carved from regular carrots. It is possible to make a simple sculpture from a single side of a pumpkin - for example, the muzzle of a donkey.

Pumpkins are very interesting products for creativity. He can talk about it for a long time and with photo examples.

Crafts from white and pink radish vegetables

From white radish you can also cut beautiful parrots. White radish - resembles a huge white carrot. It is perfectly cut with a knife into any shape. And the wings do not have to be made from radishes either. You can take hard stalks from BEIJING CABBAGE. A beautiful and simple vegetable craft for kindergarten and school. The jury will love it.

And here is a red radish craft ... Also a very cute family of pink birds in a nest of tops, pods or onion feathers.

And a gorgeous bouquet of vegetable roses. Here are photo instructions on how to do it. We cut the radish with a knife into shavings - in a checkerboard pattern (like cabbage leaves on a stalk). Then we put such an incised radish in water - and under the influence of water it swells and opens its petals. We string the buds on gift skewers - and so that the stalks-legs are green, we put each skewer inside the onion feather.

Flowers from vegetables. Crafts-bouquets for the garden and school

And below we see how flowers are created from vegetables and fruits. Oval flowers with a halo of narrow petals (also from radishes), orange buds with a berry in the middle (from tangerines). Bell pepper palms and a carrot stem, or a skewer stem and grapes strung on it.

And here is an idea on how to create lush tulips from sweet peppers. Or delicate white daisies from thin slices of white mini patisson pumpkins (with a yellow center from a slice of carrots). A great craft for children who are bored in the country.

And here is a way to make ASTRA from a stalk of Chinese cabbage. If you add rose flowers from red cabbage to such a Beijing aster, you get an elegant composition for an exhibition at a school or kindergarten.

Crafts from zucchini and other vegetables

Here is a zucchini zucchini penguin bird with a sweet red pepper bow and orange eyes. It is very easy and affordable to do it yourself even for children.

And here is another bird with a tomato head and a green crest and green pepper wings. The tummy is a white zucchini.


You can make the heads of men or animals from squash crops.

If the fruit has a pointed shape, then you can beat it like a muzzle of a puppy or mouse.

And from the halves of a zucchini, you can add a sculptural craft of a dragon. But this is a real challenge to our creativity. The most important thing here is the head - if you have a muzzle, then you can continue and make the body.

By the same principle, you can create similar composite sculptures from oranges.


Black eggplant. Pdressings from vegetables for the garden

The black color of eggplant tells us the creation of black and white animals living on our planet - and these are ZEBRAS, WHALES, PENGUINS, AND KOALAS. (I did not find Koalas among the photo crafts - but the idea is good).

Eggplant can act as an insert element for crafts from other vegetables (see photo below with a rooster and a monkey).

Crafts from cabbage and other vegetables

Cauliflower is an interesting material in its structure. Its bizarre forms themselves suggest the theme of vegetable sculptures. These are, of course, sheep, polar bear cubs, poodles and other furry animals.

Crafts from potatoes

Even an ordinary potato can be an interesting tool for children's creativity. These minions can be made from potatoes - they can be dressed in black eggplant overalls. The minions themselves can be painted with gouache in yellow paint. Glasses can be cut out of round carrots (cut the carrot into a circle and cut a round hole in the circle).

The very shape of the potato can give you the idea of ​​crafts - in the photo above we see that the potato in the shape of panties suggested the idea of ​​​​creating a girl in shorts. You can also look for interesting shapes in a bag of potatoes - for example, in the form of the head of Peppa Pig, you often come across.

Crafts from peppers and other vegetables

Sweet and hot peppers can be a source of inspiration. Their smooth, shiny shape guarantees the beauty of the final craft. like this motorbike can be assembled if you connect all the parts with toothpicks (plasticine can be placed inside as an additional fastener for toothpicks). Citrus wheels are also strung on toothpicks.

Roosters and overseas birds can be made from peppers of a bizarre curved shape. You can look for these in the store - or better in the market or in the country.

But crabs and crayfish... They are made from several pepper vegetables. And to be honest, Photoshop still worked here (they removed the extra, added the missing) - but the idea is still worth trying to implement it for real.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, all to be honest. No photoshop - only the skillful hands of the master and the look of the artist. Bean pods (whiskers and horns), corn cob stalks (ears and tail), apple (for muzzle), carrots (paws and back teeth), toothpicks (claws and fasteners).

It is important to be able to look at fruits and vegetables in this way. artist's eye, squint, blur your eyes and suddenly in this foggy haze see a future sculpture in a pile of vegetables.

Crafts from cucumbers

Sculptures for kindergarten are most often animals. Children love animals, and animals love children. That's how nature intended it. Therefore, we will make cute animals from cucumbers. Cucumbers are, of course, GREEN CROCODILES.

Although the inhabitants of the sea (dolphins and sharks) can also be carved from a green greenhouse cucumber. Make fins, gills-cuts, a white neck with a slit of a toothy mouth.

Paintings from vegetables

But what kind of planar collage crafts can be made from vegetables and fruits. For the ideological basis, you can take the famous paintings of famous artists. And try to repeat them in your vegetable art.

Alon Zaid - an elderly artist came up with the idea to recreate famous paintings from fruits and vegetables. Here you are, Mona Lisa, she is Gioconda, the great master Leonardo Da Vinci.

You can not repeat the masterpieces of pictorial art from the Hermitage ... but come up with your own picture of vegetables.

And also do not forget that in addition to vegetables, there are also fruits. And they have their own pictorial possibilities. Its bright colors and interesting cut patterns.

So since we got to the fruits, let's see what can be done for the competition in the garden and from these fruits.

Fruit crafts

And now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures. I will show you the simplest DIY crafts made from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, watermelon peels and melon fruits.

Crafts from pulpy fruits - apples, kiwi, pears, bananas

But cute childish crafts from kiwi. To create them, you need to choose unripe solid fruits. Slices of slices should be blotted with a paper towel so that the juice does not show through.

But crafts from an apple and a pear - if you use one whole fruit + a thin slice of the second fruit, you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears, and face. And from the stalk of an apple, a trunk for an elephant is obtained. Delicious and fun crafts that you can make with your kids and then eat.

But crafts from a juicy pear. To create such birds, we choose varieties that are harder.

And so that the cut place without the peel does not darken, it must be smeared with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

And if you are making a craft from a pear, without a peel, and even with finely chopped feathers (as in the photo of birds below), then it is better to protect such a craft so that it does not darken, and so that the “feathers” do not dry out and wrinkle. For protection, we use gelatin. Pour the gelatin powder with water. When it swells, heat it up so that it dissolves (but do not bring it to a boil!!!). And with this warm gelatin syrup we grease our entire craft. It will become shiny, and will look fresh for a long time, nothing will darken or fade. Only important- we make a gelatin solution for such a lubricant 2 times thicker than on jelly. That is, we read the instructions on the package and pour 2 times more powder into 2 times less water.

In exactly the same way, crafts are made from bright red apples. We treat white slices with lemon juice(so as not to turn black) and you can also grease with gelatin syrup (so as not to wilted and wrinkled).

From a green apple you can make something like this craft frog. It can be planted in a swamp, which is decorated with onion water lilies. Here in the photo on the right, I attached a master class on how to make a water lily from an onion - cut an onion into rays - and unfold each flake of such a ray into a beautiful white water lily. If desired, it can be made pink if smeared with beet juice.

Can do craft-crab from apple slices - paint it also in beetroot juice so that it is red, or smear with lemon juice so that it remains white (does not rust).

Can you make a green apple? hummingbird. Great little fruit craft for kids.

You can make pots with flowers from the tops of large apples - cut bald petals in it - you get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Banana crafts for kids

Of course you need to make minions out of bananas. This is clear to everyone. Bananas are yellow, minions too. You can dress them in cucumber jumpsuits. A whole family can be made to an exhibition in a school or garden.

You can make an octopus out of a banana. Add citrus fish and red pepper crabs to it (see photo below in this article). And make a whole underwater kingdom of vegetables and fruits.

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

And here is the idea of ​​dachshund puppies - with skin-ears and green tails. Eyes are cut out and pupils are inserted from black paper.

Crafts from citrus fruits with helper vegetables

Lemons can be beaten with their curly feature - POINTED NOSE. And make such cute little mice from a lemon (you just need to cut off their side so that the mouse lies on the tummy. Cut out round ears from the peel of the cut lemon tummy. Cut the lemon on the top of the mouse and insert the ear into the cut. Cut a thin tail from the skin scraps. And dear children's crafts for a competition in a garden or school are ready.By the way, FROM A PIECE OF PUMPKIN you can make MOUSE CHEESE and even cut round holes in it.

If you cut a lemon or orange peel along the contours we need - and then tear it off. We get a figured "bald patch" on an orange (as in the photo with crafts below). This citrus "bald spot" can serve as a white tummy for two chicken felts, penguin felts (on the right photo below).

From oranges you can make a cat (with cut stripes on the back and tail), and a bear cub with mandarin ears.

All parts are pricked on toothpicks and stuck into the pulp of an orange.

Citrus peel is perfectly cut into any flat shapes (like cardboard). Therefore, complex carved shapes of fish fins and tails can be cut from it. Beautiful crafts in an underwater style, add apple crabs, orange peel starfish to them.

Citrus fruits can participate in the craft as an addition to the vegetable sculpture (for example, in the form of a parrot wing made of tomatoes and onions). Or the whole sculpture can be made from sliced ​​oranges into rounded shapes (as in the photo with the lion below).

Crafts from pineapples and other fruits and vegetables

Here are interesting ideas for those who do not mind sacrificing a pineapple for the sake of children's creativity. A small melon can become the head of an owl - we make eyes from round radishes and olives, eyebrows apart from the peel of black eggplants, yellow paws from halves of a lemon.

From half a pineapple, you can fold a crocodile with eyes (radishes and olives), with paws (kiwi). Of course, such a crocodile needs a lot of pineapple sides. Not to get carried away with my salary - but if you don’t have financial problems, then choose this cutie - the pineapple crocodile will definitely not remain in a modest shadow at the school exhibition.

Or you can make a turtle from one half of a pineapple - and cut out the legs and head from the pulp of a pumpkin, from carrots, potatoes or other vegetables or fruits. A simple and beautiful children's craft made from vegetables is obtained.

And here is the pineapple hedgehog. To be honest, this is most likely the result of Photoshop, or the very painstaking work of the pineapple pulp carver - you need to cut the peel from the pineapple barrel, then shape the legs and head into the pulp. Then, with toothpicks, fasten the stalk comb to the hedgehog.

But the idea with a parrot bird is suitable if you find a pineapple with a long tail. We cut it off the pineapple by deepening the knife deeper into its flesh - so that the tail is cut off along with the yellow center. We stick a red pepper nose, olive eyes into the parrot's head and fasten it on a wooden skewer to its habitat.

Crafts from watermelon peels

You can make a lot of crafts from watermelon. We are all familiar with the masterpieces of watermelon peel carving. Here I will not offer complex sculptural tricks. We are simple parents - we are not that talented - we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most affordable watermelon peel crafts for the common man.

Here is a turtle easy to do with your own hands - Cut the watermelon so as to remove the side round part (this will be the shell) - remove the pulp so as not to interfere. On this oval part, we draw future patterns with a felt-tip pen, and then we cut all the contours with a knife - we get a carved shell pattern. It remains to cut out paws and a head from other pieces of the crust - attach all this with toothpicks to the bottom of the shell.

But the gaping mouths of sharks and frogs. We also draw future cuts on the watermelon. Cut off a segment of watermelon - get a mouth cut. From the inside, remove all the pulp with a spoon - we eat it. And then with an empty watermelon womb we are already doing what we need - either a frog or a shark . Shark teeth are very easy to make.- first, along the edge of the mouth, we make a shallow incision-groove (to the depth of the green layer). Then we cut off a thin green skin along this groove, and leave the thick white skin. From this remaining white part we form teeth - just cut out and discard triangular segments from it - and we get triangular remnants - teeth. We make a slot - we insert a fin into it - we make a chip-recess for the eyes and insert black olives.

And the frog does not need to make teeth - the eyes are made from halves of a green lime and two cherries on toothpicks.

And here is an example of how you can make a cartoon character from a watermelon. In the first case (minion), we put a large yellow pomelo fruit inside the green watermelon overalls.

But crafts for boys from oblong watermelons are watermelon ships and a submarine. We don’t sell such oval watermelons, but you can try to make similar crafts from a round one.

But melon crafts are more complicated - an owl with lettuce and a watermelon belly. Fish carved with scales and fins.

These are ideas for vegetable crafts for an exhibition in a garden or school. I hope you have found here a suitable craft for yourself and will be happy to make it with your children. What is done with your own hands heals the soul. It seems to me that every person does not interfere with breaking away from watching TV and a little to please his soul and his children.

To do something together, together, not to quarrel, and not to quarrel in the process - this is another day that you will remember with warmth years later. These are the moments you remember... and not the ones when the boss handed you a diploma ... All the vain things fade from memory over the years ... but the present takes root and remains a bright picture in old age. Let's collect such pictures - in our hearts.

Let's create such moments for our children - let them have something to remember about their childhood. After all, what do we remember about our childhood years? Only these are the days when dad and mom suddenly forgot about their adult affairs and spent time in stupid and useless, but such fun and necessary fun with the children.

Good luck with your vegetable creation.

Olga Klishevskaya,

Craft in the cabbage garden

When making crafts in a cabbage garden, the main thing is to find a head of suitable shape and size. If parents have very little time, and the child still cannot create a vegetable masterpiece on his own, you can turn cabbage into someone's head. To do this, you can wear a wide-brimmed hat or tie a bow on it.

A more difficult option is to make animals from cabbage parts. For example, you can make a beautiful dog
