Children's crafts from natural materials: 25 ideas and step-by-step workshops for preschool and primary school children.

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 readers of the Native Path, participants in 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 kindergarten MBDOU No. 3 "Ryabinka" ( junior group) Inza, Ulyanovsk region. And also Khabibullina Liliya Rustyamovna (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow district of Kazan) and Davletberdina Malik (5 years old).

Material for manufacturing:
- maple leaves of bright colors (orange, yellow, red),
- branches with viburnum berries,
- harsh threads to form a bouquet of roses,
- golden hairspray to strengthen and strengthen the bouquet (optional),
- a few strong branches 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 large enough, not too dry and whole leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are not suitable for making a bouquet. For the manufacture of one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

Step 1. Take one maple leaf, hold it with the petiole towards you and fold it in half front side out. Then we twist it into a tight roll - a tube. This will be the "core of the rose", that is, the middle 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. The sheet is very carefully bent outward in half. The edge of the inflection of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.

And now we bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward again, but the fold is no longer smoothed out. We try not to compress the fold and keep it elastic.

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

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

Step 5. Having collected a bouquet of several roses and decorated it with viburnum sprigs, you must again tightly wrap all the branches with threads, collecting them in a bouquet.

How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now ready-made bouquet at its base with the same threads.

Here is our autumn bouquet roses from maple leaves and ready!

Step 6. To give 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 – Kalmykova Olga Dmitrievna

Craft 2: corn

This craft was sent to our competition "Autumn Workshop" by the educator Rim Elena Anatolyevna (GBOU of the city of Moscow "School No. 166" Structural unit No. 7). And Yulia Terekhina (5 years old), a pupil of Elena Anatolyevna, completed the cornbread.

How to make the craft "Corn:

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

Step 2. Form characters from corn on the cob.

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

Craft 3: autumn forest.

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

You will need:
- landscape sheet of format A 4,
- autumn leaves,
- watercolor paints,
tassel.

Step by step description:

Step 1. We bring autumn leaves from a walk.

Step 2. Color the white space of the album sheet as a background. Next, on a sheet of paper, draw vertical lines - the trunks of autumn trees.

Craft 4: Old Man Lesovichok

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

DIY material: larch needles and cones, plasticine. All parts of the woodsman made of natural materials are fastened together with plasticine.

Craft 5: Application "Hedgehog"

This hedgehog was made and sent to our autumn competition of children's art by 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 application, but a voluminous hedgehog, then it can be easily made with children from a piece of plasticine, dried chestnut skin and cut cotton buds. But this is really a prickly hedgehog, so be careful. Such a hedgehog was made by Yulia Romanovna Ruzaeva and her daughter (2 years 8 months) from St. Petersburg. And you will find another craft by 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 Mironets Anna Vladimirovna (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, shadberry, - dried flowers, - hairspray.

Description of the craft:

Step 1. Take half of the piaflora brick and cut out the body of a hedgehog from it (it will resemble a droplet in shape). Sharp corners must be smoothed out with your hands. Piaflor does not need to be soaked.

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

Step 3 Hedgehog ears can be made from dried gooseberry leaves. And we will make paws from dried leaves of irgi.

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

Step 6. Fix 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 for children's crafts" by children of 4 years old together with their teacher Tegaeva Olga Nikolaevna (Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Shemetovo village, Novy microdistrict, 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:

- We 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 (glue the matches on glue for reliability).

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

- We glue an acorn hat on the head of the caterpillar.

- We make caterpillar eyes from plasticine and attach them.

- Glue the caterpillar on the stump.

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

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

- Lay out the moss.

Here is such a hedgehog - a caterpillar friend - you will succeed.

Craft 8. A basket of cones

This craft was made by Polina Durnova (9 years old, Samara, school 118, 4B class), Maxim Durnov (2 years old) with her mother Durnova Svetlana from Samara, Krasnaya Glinka village. First, Svetlana and the children tried to make a basket of cones according to the description on the Internet using a glue gun, but ... a day later the resulting basket lost its shape and “went” to different sides. 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 strong basket that will serve you for a long time, then you need to take into account such a possible fact: closed cones open in a warm room. 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 most durable connection of the cones in the basket is the connection with brown wire (in the color of the cones, so that it is less noticeable). To do this, we wrap the first cone with wire, then we continue to wind the cones around 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 using a glue gun. But further in the next steps you need to fix this design.

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

Step 3. Put a cardboard circle at the bottom of the resulting structure. Put rowan branches with berries and spruce cones in a basket. It will turn out a beautiful autumn composition.

Craft 9: Autumn Ship

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

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

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

- plastic food tray

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

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

- a few thin sticks for making pens,

- plasticine of different colors,

- colored paper

- glue stick,

- a few cones ate,

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

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

Step 1. Making the torso and head of the sailors. The body of the sailors will be cones. From pieces of plasticine we sculpt eyes, a mouth and noses, which we attach them to the cones so that we get the faces of the sailors.

Step 2. We make peakless caps for sailors - cones.

For this:

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

- Cut out circles.

- From paper of a different color, we cut out several thin strips based on one circle, two strips each (the length is arbitrary, but it should be borne in mind that these will be peakless ribbons, so do not overdo it with the length).

- Glue two stripes to each peakless mug close to each other.

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

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

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

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

- The legs are made of plasticine. The shape of the legs should resemble flippers so that the bump stands and does not fall in our ship. To make legs, we sculpt “sausages” from pieces of plasticine the size of a walnut - small but thick, and then we 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 stretch the latter through this stick to make several sails on one mast. The joints of the leaves with each other can be glued a little with plasticine, then the leaves will not slide down on top of each other and fall down.

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

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 its middle (do not spare the plasticine, but we need the mast to hold tight). We insert our mast into it. For better mast attachment, you can stretch the plasticine a little along the trunk of our mast.

In the tray-ship, place our sailors in empty places, slightly pressing their flippers-legs to the bottom so that they stick and hold firmly on the deck. Along the sides of the ship, you can glue leaves of different trees and / or flowers on pieces of plasticine, but this is not necessary - see for yourself how you like it best. It is also optional to make a dragon head on the bow of your ship.

The nose of the ship can be anything, but we made a plasticine dinosaur head and attached it to the nose 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 for the fairy tale by V. Suteev "Under the mushroom" from natural materials

This craft 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. Teacher - Denisova Svetlana Alexandrovna. Children go to kindergarten MADOU d / s No. 2 "Karamelka" ShchMR MO in the city of Shchelkovo, Moscow Region.

Preparatory stage: watching the cartoon "Fungus-Teremok", reading the fairy tale by V. Suteev “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 branch

- matches

- cork

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:

Step 1. We prepare the base.

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

Step 2 We make trees - scenery.

We take a piece of plasticine, roll up the ball and crush it until we get a round cake. On this cake with a branch up, we insert a mountain ash leaf, ironed in advance through a sheet of paper. You can also insert into the "cake" and a pine branch. 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 of cones and plasticine.

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

Ant:

We take a fir cone. The narrow tip of the cone is pulled out with brown plasticine. Eyes made of black plasticine are attached to the "head" of the ant. Paws can be made of wire, attaching them evenly throughout the cone with plasticine. We make the antennae of the ant from 2 matches without heads.

Sparrow:

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

Butterfly:

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

Hare: the toy consists of a fir cone and blue plasticine. Paws, ears and head are molded from plasticine. We also make eyes from platinum of a different color.

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

Step 5 We make a composition according to 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 get your own fairy tale!

Craft 11. Caterpillar from apples

This craft was made by Danila Ankushev together with his parents from the Strekhninsky kindergarten (the older group "Friendly Family"). And the teacher Elena Yaroslavtseva sent the craft to us for the autumn workshop.

How to make a caterpillar: the body of the caterpillar is made up of apples. We make legs from earplugs (sold in a pharmacy). To fasten the parts, wooden toothpicks are used. Decorates the craft with a shell from a grape snail.

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

How else can you make a caterpillar out of apples: option 2.

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

Here is such a cheerful caterpillar made from natural materials by Arina.

Craft 12. A cheerful family of acorns

This and the following three crafts made from natural materials were made with children by Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina 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 tree bark,

- acorns

- black marker

- glue gun or Moment glue.

How to make a fun family from natural materials:

Step 1. Draw faces.

She showed her son how to draw a face on the stomach. Gave him permanent marker and acorns and left him. Here are such bizarre faces turned out.

Step 2. We glue the hats to our little men.

We glued the hats on Moment glue.

Step 3. We attach the family.

But with gluing to the bark, I had to tinker. I smeared the bark with Moment glue. Substitute something rectangular at 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 without the presence of children in a well-ventilated area, because. he is toxic. Instead of glue, you can use a safe glue gun, an adult also works with it.

All! The happy family is ready.

Craft 13. Interior craft "Autumn branch"

We got a beautiful interior craft. My son made 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 complete our composition and make owls out of plasticine and place them on autumn branches.

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

I made the first owl, the second was made by my son.

Attached them to the branches on plasticine, they hold well.

Such a beautiful composition now decorates 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 Vanya Oshuev (3 years 8 months).

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

Natalia writes: “I first laminated the leaves. With my son, we cut them out, made holes and threaded the ropes. The branch was found on the street. They hung leaves on it. The result was a branch with fallen leaves.

Craft 14: Hedgehogs from cones and salt dough

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

Step 1. We kneaded salty dough together with my son. He loves baking so much that he kneads all the dough himself, and I only 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 and stick to your hands.

Step 2. Blinded two hedgehogs together: mother and baby. Here I have already given the final shape. We stuck the cones and put the oven in the oven.

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

We just studied with my son, so the 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 handicraft from natural materials was also made by Naumkina Alexandra Albertovna 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 basis for the mobile, I cut out the rim of a cardboard disposable plate.

Step 2. I tied a string of yellow yarn on the resulting rim at about the same distance. From the same yarn I made a pendant for which our craft will hold.

Craft 16. Application from seeds "Hedgehog"

This application from natural materials was made by Khaliullin Artur (6 years old) from MADOU "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 (felt-tip pens),

- leaves for decorating

- spruce branches.

Craft progress:

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

Step 2. We apply PVA glue on the back of the hedgehog with a thick layer. Then spread the seeds on a layer of glue. We make sure that the sharp tips of the seeds are directed in one direction.

Step 3. We color the muzzle and paws of the hedgehog with colored pencils.

Step 4. We decorate the background with leaves of mountain ash, birch; cones, spruce branches.

Craft 17. Application from wheat "Lion Cub"

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

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

Craft 18. Lady - cabbage and Forest fairy tale

Crafts from natural materials 19. Autumn meadow

This craft was sent to us by the teacher Samigullina Lilia Rustyamovna from Kazan. And I made this craft with the help of adults Izmailov Rodion (3 years old), a pupil of the MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow district 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. For the base of the craft, we will prepare a box. Let's cut off one side of the box so that the autumn glade is visible.

Step 2. We attach dry leaves inside 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 method by which we will fasten the details of 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 little man is made of chestnuts and acorns, the hedgehog is made of chestnut peel and plasticine, the owl is made of chestnut.

The eyes of the birds are made of acorn caps, and the bird's beaks, paws and wings are made of plasticine.

Craft 21. Autumn sun from natural materials

The idea of ​​this craft was shared with us by Maria Schukina, 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 craft, and I have been nurturing this idea for a long time. We did it with great pleasure :). Everything was invented by ourselves.”

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

- PVA glue,

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

- rowan berries,

- dog-rose fruit,

- acorns

- watercolor paints,

- thread and needle

- any natural material.

How to make the sun from natural materials with children:

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

Step 2 Then we connect the fantasy and also stick any leaves and natural materials according to your taste in a circle. The circle becomes larger.

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 We sew rowan earrings to the sun (you can sew rose hips, any flowers). I used the largest needle and simply sewed the mountain ash to the Whatman paper as to ordinary fabric. At the same time, on the reverse side of the drawing paper, I fixed the thread with adhesive tape. You can also sew on many other decorations.

Step 5 In the upper corners of the drawing paper, glue the acorns with PVA glue, after cutting them in half lengthwise. I hope you enjoy our autumn sun from improvised natural materials :).

Craft 22. Application from the shell. Autumn Walk

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

How to make a craft:

Craft 23. Hut at the edge of the forest

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

How to make a craft:

Step 1. Leaves of various shapes (birch, rowan, maple, etc.) are painted with paints of different colors and attached to a clean sheet of paper so that prints remain on it. Paint the sun.

Step 2. While the prints of the leaves are dry, we will break the required diameter of the sticks from a small twig for the hut. Lubricate 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. We attach the leaves and the rowan bush in the clearing with a stapler.

Step 4. Glue the bottom of the clearing with glue and lay out the path from the watermelon seeds.

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

- We glue all the edges of the base with light paper. We outline with a pencil where the benches and paths will be.

- Making the screen. We cut out a rectangular sheet of white paper that is suitable in size, draw any picture on it and glue it to the screen.

— Design of the place of installation of benches. We cut out rectangular sheets of white paper that are suitable in size, color them (for example, you can color them in the form of colored tiles). Glue to the base in the intended places.

- Making paths. We apply plasticine to the tracks outlined on the basis and attach the beans to it.

- Making trees. We attach branches of trees with leaves to plasticine, forming a park.

— We decorate the stone ruins of the castle. We fasten the stones with plasticine.

- We make a lawn. We attach leaves and mountain ash to the remaining free places of the base on PVA.

- We make two benches from matchboxes and colored tape.

All is ready! The doll can walk along the paths of the park, admire the picture on the screen or the ruins of a stone castle, and arrange photo shoots.

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

It is not necessary to make a complex children's craft. Many crafts from natural material can be done "on the go", without preparation. They can be used as quickly created attributes for children's games. 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).

wreath of leaves

We collect a lot of leaves on 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 a rope. We also decorate the rope with leaves.

leaf crown

The crown is very easy to make.

Step 1. A blank was made from 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 leaves on it.

autumn trees

Natalia writes: fast manufacturing autumn trees we used rolls from toilet paper And corrugated paper cut into strips. The children pushed the paper inside the roll as they could. In the end, it turned out well for us, bright and autumnal.

You can also place autumn branches and autumn leaves collected on a walk in a roll.

Pumpkins from cones

In this craft, we used fluffy wire. They took a bump, wrapped it with orange fluffy wire. Further, 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 crafting a hedgehog, we used an eaten sunflower.

- The muzzle and body were cut out of foam. This is best done in advance by adults.

- From above, the muzzle was covered with plasticine.

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

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

The most beautiful autumn crafts from vegetables and fruits with your own hands

With the advent of autumn, kindergartens and elementary schools often organize exhibitions of crafts made from natural materials. Recently, a special niche has been occupied by crafts made from fruits and vegetables. They turn out very bright and quite interesting.

Most often, parents learn about such creative exhibitions the day before. And you have to quickly collect your thoughts, the necessary materials and create something beautiful in haste.

I want to offer you a few master classes of simple vegetable crafts. You do not have to run around the neighbors in search of required material. Also, the creative process will not take too much time, and you will even have time for a night's sleep.

mushroom meadow

A simple craft that will require the following materials:

• Cardboard sheet or box lid
• Leaves or greens for grass
• Carrot
• Apple
• Potato
• toothpicks

In the lid from under the box we will make a clearing for which you can collect fallen leaves on the way home from the garden or school.

Let's make mushrooms. Legs are pieces of carrots, hats are halves of potatoes or apples.

We fasten all the details together with toothpicks. The mushrooms themselves are installed in a clearing with pieces of plasticine.

You can also make bugs out of plasticine and put them on mushrooms.

piglets

For this craft, prepare the following materials:

• Potato
• Plasticine
• plastic plate
• Paper napkin (or corrugated paper)

From a plate and a napkin we make the basis on which our “pigs” will sit.

For piglets, we make triangle ears, patches, eyes, tails from plasticine.

Very simple and fast. You don’t even have to suffer - your baby will blind all the necessary components with pleasure.

funny little men

But what kind of cute can be made from potatoes. You will need:

• Potato
• Pumpkin or large zucchini
• felt-tip pens
• White paper

We cut the pumpkin in half, make a "boat" for funny little men.

For funny faces from white paper, cut out circles-eyes, draw pupils on them, glue them to potatoes.

With felt-tip pens we finish everything else - noses, mouths.

Kids will love this unusual drawing on vegetables, so be sure to involve them in making crafts.

Potatoes are a great vegetable that is easy to work with and a variety of fantasies are born easily. For example, here are simple cockerel and doggy. or a cute ant that can be made in just 10 minutes. Just first go to the yard "to hunt" for sticks.

Or cut out such candlesticks from large potatoes:

Caterpillars made of apples and grapes are beautiful and bright.

Caterpillar

For such a beauty, we need:

• Apples
• grape berries
• Carrot
• Toothpicks, skewers

1. In the apple, which will be the muzzle, we cut out the “eye sockets”, into which we insert grape eyes with the help of toothpicks. For the mouth, we also make a small horizontal incision, insert a “smile” into it.
2. We string grapes on skewers - we make “horns”.
3. We connect the apples together - this will be the "torso", to which we attach the "head".
4. Cut the carrot into slices. We make our caterpillar "legs".
5. You can seat such a beauty in an impromptu clearing. Which can be easily made from a plastic plate and leaves. A little imagination, additional materials and such caterpillars are obtained from apples.

On the theme of animals, you can fantasize a lot. Hedgehogs are especially popular. They can be made from any material - potatoes, pears, apples.

Hedgehog

To create a cute forest dweller, we need:

• vegetable marrow
• Apple
• rowan berries
• Twigs, leaves
• Toothpicks, plasticine

From leaves and twigs we will make a clearing in the lid from under the box.

The hedgehog itself is made from zucchini. We sculpt the eyes and nose from plasticine, pin with toothpicks. After that, you can make "thorns".

Everything is simple here - insert toothpicks into the zucchini and you're done!

We put a small apple on the back of the hedgehog, decorate with rowan berries. If you have dried mushrooms, they can also come in handy.

In fact, creating a masterpiece from the gifts of the garden is very simple. Lay out the vegetables that you have in the refrigerator in front of you and, together with your child, think about what they look like or who they can turn into. Children are known to have a rich imagination, so in a couple of minutes you will have enough brilliant ideas.

Autumn paper crafts for kindergarten

Paper is an excellent material for creativity. Therefore, if you were unable to collect a herbarium or natural materials, do not be discouraged. Plain colored paper, cardboard, glue, scissors - everything you need to create an application on the theme "Autumn".

The first application that I want to offer you, I call

Tree

For its manufacture you will need:

• Sheet (A 4) of light blue or blue cardboard
• Colored paper - red, yellow, green, orange, brown
• Glue, scissors

Cut out a rectangle from brown paper - this will be the trunk of the tree. We also cut out two rectangles Green colour- it will be grass.

Cut out rectangles from red, yellow, orange paper, glue them in the form of rings.

After that, we glue the prepared elements on cardboard in the form of an autumn tree.

A few more variations on the theme of autumn trees:

Another of autumn's associations is harvesting. Therefore, consider another interesting application idea called

Harvest

A variety of fruits can be stored at your place all year round. All you need for this:

• colored paper
• Scissors

Help the child - draw these simple details for 3D fruits. Cut them out together and stick them on pieces of cardboard - you get cute postcards.

And you can put fruit in a “jar” - and a compote will come out that will amuse your baby, and he will want to “roll up” more than one such jar!

Umbrella

It often rains in autumn. In order not to get wet, let's make a bright voluminous umbrella out of colored paper and cardboard. For this craft we will need:

• Sheet A 4 green cardboard
• Squares (8 * 8 cm) - 5 pieces of different colors
• Rectangles (2 * 10 - 15 cm) - 1 white and 2 pieces blue
• Cocktail tube
• Scissors
• Double-sided tape
• simple pencil

Using adhesive tape, glue the tube to a sheet of cardboard at a distance of 2 - 3 cm from the bottom edge.

We make an umbrella from multi-colored squares. To do this, each leaf is twisted in the shape of a cone, fastened with glue.

Then we glue the blanks together.

Then glue the umbrella to the cardboard.

We fold the rectangles of white and blue paper with an accordion. On the fold, draw a half of the "raindrop" and cut it out.

Let's make the droplets voluminous. Take three drops - 2 blue, 1 white, glue them together.

To do this, take a blue droplet, fold it in half, grease one of the halves with glue, glue a white droplet. Similarly, glue the second blue droplet to the white one.

We glue the finished droplets on a sheet of cardboard above the umbrella. A simple, beautiful autumn application is ready!

Joint creativity with children charges with positive emotions and brings you closer to the baby. Do not miss the opportunity to fill the rainy autumn days with warmth. Your child will remember such family evenings for a lifetime. So, having received a task in the garden to do some kind of craft, do not rush to do it yourself, because it’s faster, more accurate ... Be sure to involve your baby!

Original works from cones, acorns and chestnuts

Another craft material that parents often meet is cones, acorns, chestnuts. From simple stick figures to complex compositions, the fantasy world is rich and varied. Crafts made from natural materials become especially relevant in autumn, when the gifts of nature can be easily collected during a walk.

Let's make chestnuts

"Merry Caterpillar"

For this we need:

• chestnuts
• Plasticine

We roll out multi-colored circles from plasticine, with the help of which we connect the chestnuts - this will be the body of the caterpillar.

From plasticine we make "eyes" and a smile

From two plasticine "sausages", for example, green and orange, we make "horns" for the caterpillar.

A simple craft is ready! Arrange for her a clearing of dry leaves and other natural material and you can take it to the exhibition.

Autumn flowers from cones

Another simple master class for joint creativity with children.

• cones
• Acrylic paints or gouache
• Large wide brush
• Green colored paper
• Scissors

For "flowers" it is best to collect open cones. Clean them from dirt, rinse if necessary, dry well. After such a preparatory procedure, you can begin to be creative.

The first step is to paint the cones and let them dry well.

We cut the paper into rectangles 5 * 15 cm. We make “leaves”, which we twist into a ring. Fold the top outward.

Place a cone in the center of the leaf.

Make some of these autumn flowers, place them on a stand "flower bed". A simple, bright, original craft is ready!

Vase of acorns

let's consider simple craft from acorns, which can be made in one evening, providing the most hard work to your child.

We will need:

• Bank (any size)
• Plasticine
• acorns

For this craft, it is not necessary to take a new plasticine. Leftovers from an old box will do just fine. Since we will just need to stick around the jar on all sides with plasticine mass.

If your acorns have lost their hats, it doesn't matter! Glue them on.

As a result, the entire bank must be sealed. If you get large gaps between the acorns, fill them with hats. The neck of the jar can also be glued with hats.

Place a bouquet of autumn leaves or any composition of autumn gifts in a vase.

It is not necessary to use one thing in compositions from natural materials. Naturally, you can safely combine everything you can find in one craft. Do not be afraid - fantasize!

The main thing here is to start, to take the first step. And then you will be unstoppable! You yourself will not notice how ideas begin to be born in your head. And when you are engaged in such creativity with a child, then a sea of ​​​​positive emotions is provided. Little geniuses are sure to surprise you - they are capable of more than you think. Therefore, never do instead of a child - do with him!

Crafts from a pumpkin

Pumpkin is an excellent material for bright, beautiful crafts. Working with this vegetable is a pleasure! For example, taking a small pumpkin and modeling mass, you can make a cute "vampire". An old hat, paints, any material at hand - and the fabulous Scarecrow from Oz is ready.

Dry leaves, rowan berries, matches, a little plasticine, shells that were collected in the summer by the sea - and here we have a teremok.

Or you can carve a whole flying saucer with garlic heads of alien creatures.

I really like pumpkin vases. They are made quite simply. Everything that you can find in the garden or park goes into business. The result is just fabulous!

Let's make a colorful autumn bouquet in a pumpkin together. It can not only be sent to the exhibition, but also presented as original gift to your favorite teacher or educator on Teacher's Day, which is celebrated on the first Sunday of October.

For crafts you will need the following materials:

Cut off the floral sponge, place inside the pumpkin. Let's pour water.

We cut the stems of flowers, we collect a bouquet.

Do not forget to gently moisten the floral sponge, and such a bouquet will delight you with its beauty for a long time. If you create a similar composition from dry leaves and twigs, then to fix them, place ordinary foam or modeling mass in the pumpkin. For a stronger structure, you can additionally lubricate the tips of the branches with glue. Enjoy your creative moments!

Autumn crafts in kindergarten from leaves

I start collecting and drying leaves, herbs, flowers with my children in the summer. By autumn, we have a rather impressive collection, which gradually turns into original applications.

All you need for such applications is cardboard base, PVA glue or glue stick, scissors and, of course, a herbarium. Children really like to take part in the creation of leaf paintings that literally come to life on a piece of paper.

The youngest children can draw, for example, the contour of a hedgehog or a butterfly and let it be sealed with leaves. How older child, the more complex compositions you can offer him.

Let's make an original voluminous owl out of leaves for kindergarten.
