See what crafts for the autumn holiday in kindergarten and school you can make with your children from branches, pumpkins, potatoes and other plant materials. Traditionally, in the fall, kindergartens host a holiday dedicated to this time of the year. The children together with the teachers are preparing for the concert, the parents are making costumes for the children. Fun contests, vegetable crafts are also an integral part of the cultural and creative program.

Amazing potato crafts

Autumn is the time to collect potatoes, carrots, beets, therefore, at this time, children make interesting things from these gifts of nature and take them to a children's institution. Together with their parents, they will decide what kind of craft to make from vegetables.

Potatoes are a very fertile material for such works. From it you can make not only a craft for a kindergarten, but also when the mother is cooking in the kitchen, this root crop will take the child. The parent will have to show what can be made from potatoes, and the child will indulge in this interesting activity, will not distract the mother from the cooking process.

These are the works that will be displayed on the stand in the kindergarten. To make a funny snowman out of potatoes, you will need:

3 root vegetables;
toothpicks;
plasticine;
colored paper.

Manufacturing instruction:

Wash the potatoes with your child, but do not damage the skin. Also work with toothpicks with children, do not leave them alone with this material, as it is quite dangerous and can cause injury to the child.
But he can mold the stand himself. Let him take a few pieces of plasticine, knead them, connect them, roll a ball, and make a "pancake" out of it. Put the largest potato on it. Stick 2-3 toothpicks into it, string medium-sized potatoes on their upper ends.
But the smallest one must first be transformed. Let a child make a snowman's mouth out of thin plasticine sausage. And for the nose, cut a toothpick, wrap a piece of red plasticine on it, stick it with a sharp end into a potato.
The eyes are also molded from this material, but from a dark one. Now you can use toothpicks to put your head in place. A snowman's hat is cut out of a rectangle of colored paper, the edges of which must be glued together.

The potato craft is ready. The caterpillar is made almost according to the same principle. Only potatoes need to be pre-coated with green gouache or watercolors, let the paint dry. Then the potatoes are pierced with toothpicks and fastened, placing the caterpillar horizontally.

For the next potato craft, we also use this root vegetable.

To make a cockerel, take:

3 potatoes;
2 black peppercorns or dry cloves;
knife;
toothpicks.

Then follow these instructions:

After washing the potatoes, spread them out. For the body, you need a large oblong potato, and for the head, a small oval potato. Set them aside.
Take the third root vegetable, cut off the top of it, put it on the table with a cut, stick in a toothpick. Fasten the body on top, and the bird's head on the side at the top.
Peel off the skin from the rest of the root vegetable (from which the rooster legs were made). Cut out a flat tail and a zigzag comb. Attach these parts with a toothpick as well.

In place of the eyes, stick on a peppercorn or on a dry clove and rejoice at how beautiful potato crafts turn out to be. With your own hands, together with the child, you will make the next one.

To make a horse, take:

3 potatoes;
a piece of cheese;
narrow ribbon or braid;
yarn;
crumb of black bread;
toothpicks;
2 peppercorns.

Please note that for the thoracic region, the potato should be extended on one side, this is the neck.

Combine 2 potatoes for the body. Measure out a few strands. Cut off, attach them to the tail with a toothpick. Attach the mane as well.
Sharpen 2 rectangular slices of cheese at the top, attach these ears to the head with toothpicks.
Stick some peppercorns in place of the eyes. Make a bridle out of the tape.
Take 4 toothpicks. On one side, chop a piece of crumb. Stick them from the opposite end into the potatoes. These are the legs of a horse.

You can also make little men from potatoes. See how people's heads are cut out and toothpicks become teeth.

You can make stamps from vegetables. For this you will need:

potatoes;
knife;
felt-tip pen;
paints;
piece of paper.

Have the child draw a Christmas tree on the potato with a felt-tip pen. Cut it out along the contours, removing the first layer of the root crop. The child will like to dip the resulting stamp in paint and make prints.

In the same way, you can make a print in the form of flowers, clover leaves.

The photo demonstrates how other crafts are made from potatoes. You can make funny little people in another way - here the head and body are formed from one potato.

Color the toothpicks, then stick them in place of the arms and legs. And an inverted yogurt cup can turn into a hat. Beet circles pinned with the help of pieces of toothpicks will become eyes, mouth.

If you cut red and yellow peppers into slices and attach them to the back of a potato in the form of a tail, you will get a colorful peacock. Take a closer look at the vegetable, maybe it reminds you of some kind of animal? It remains to glue the eyes out of paper, and you get such a charming hippopotamus.

Other work for the autumn holiday, photo and description

See how these works look spectacular.

For the first take:

metal baking sheet;
moss;
pumpkin;
chestnuts;
dry maple leaves;
plasticine;
toothpicks;
glue;
cones;
colored paper.

We work in the following sequence:

Cover the baking sheet with your child. If you do not have moss, artificial grass, then cover it with green and yellow paper - let it be grass.
Cut a window near the pumpkin, stick in toothpicks so that they indicate it. Instead of a roof, dry maple leaves are suitable, on top of which put cones.
The caterpillar consists of chestnuts, which we connect with plasticine. We stick a piece of this plastic material to the top of two toothpicks, attach the resulting horns to the head of the caterpillar.

For the autumn holiday in the preparatory group, you can bring another three-dimensional picture to kindergarten.

A plastic tray is suitable for the base. Put moss or grass inside it. Make little people out of acorns by holding their head and body with plasticine. In the same way, attach the arms and legs from the toothpicks.
An interesting detail of the picture is the wattle fence. To make it, place small wooden blocks on the table. Braid them with thin branches of a tree (it is better to take willow twigs).
Lubricate the bottom of the blocks with glue, attach these blanks to the tray so that the wattle is in place.
A small pumpkin is a bright accent of such a work done for the autumn festival for children.

How to assemble a house from branches for the fall holiday?

You can turn not only a pumpkin into a house, but also tree branches. Let dad saw off 4 identical blanks from a branch of average thickness - these are 4 corners of the house. Thin branches will turn into its walls. Fasten the vertical blanks of the corners on the work surface with plasticine. For each wall, you will need several vertical posts from the same material.

Starting from the bottom row, weave the vine, passing it from the front, then from the back of the posts. Then make a second row, which is staggered in relation to the first. The roof of such a house is also wicker; cover it with straw or leaves.

You can also make other craft houses for the fall holiday. To do this, you need:

branches;
hacksaw;
glue;
plasticine;
twine;
nails;
hammer;
leaves.

We work according to the following instructions:

Collect branches for a walk, let the father of the family cut pieces of almost the same size from them. Others are also needed - for the stupa of Baba Yaga and the foundation of the house.
Spread the leaves on a stand.
Since this is a hut on chicken legs, we start with them. Place 2 logs vertically, fill them with a floor of branches. To make it, first build a frame of four pieces, then stuff the branches, placing them parallel. The carnation can split the branch to prevent this from happening, place its tip on a metal base, knock on the head with a hammer. The tip of the nail will become dull and will not split the wood when hammered.
We make the walls of the house. First, place 4 branches as the bottom row. In the corners, they should be criss-cross. In these places, secure them with nails, ropes or glue. Then, do the second and the rest of the rows in this way.
Separately make a roof from branches, fix it at the top of the house. Lay the side ends with "logs".
To make a ladder, put 2 sticks of the same size parallel to each other, stuff small branches perpendicular to them.
Further, for this craft for the autumn holiday, you need to mold Baba Yaga from plasticine. To make a stupa, line this fairy-tale character with identical twigs, tie them with twine.

Here is such a wonderful job you will get for the autumn holiday in a child care center. You can make a house not from branches, but from pencils, using them as logs.

For your next fall holiday job at school, you will need:

cones;
spruce branches;
block of wood;
cardboard box cover;
fir branches;
plasticine;
nails;
foil;
glue;
seashells, small stones;
moss.

Cover the cardboard lid with moss by gluing it. If you collected it in the forest, dry it first.

For the foundation of the house, you will need 16 blocks. Arranging them in a square of 4 pieces, make 4 tiers.
Putting the sticks on top in a criss-cross pattern, make the roof. Cover it with small spruce twigs.
Place one branch, slightly larger, vertically so that it turns into a tree.
To make a lake, do not lay moss on this place, but lay foil. Cover its edges with shells or pebbles. You can even use candies of this shape.
Make bears and hedgehogs from cones, blinding their eyes from white and black plasticine.

This is such an interesting volumetric work as a result.

Children's crafts from pumpkin

You can also make a house from this vegetable, but not only it. When cutting the pumpkin, cut it in half and remove the pulp.
On any of the halves, make 4 cutouts for the turtle's legs. Potatoes will play their role. Place the halves in the grooves.
Make a hole in the pumpkin for the head, and place the potato here as well. You can put a flower on it - this is a hat.
Use a knife to make a drawing on the pumpkin peel, as in the photo. Twist Tortilla glasses out of the wire.
You can put such an autumn craft on the leaves of red cabbage, decorate the work with rowan berries.

And such an orange pumpkin is an almost finished pig. From its pulp, taken from the bottom or from another fruit, cut out the ears and a patch. Secure these elements with toothpicks. Buttons can become eyes. They are also planted on toothpicks.

You can put a doll's hat on the pumpkin, and you get such a craft for the fall holiday.

A lampshade from a table lamp is also used as a headdress. The tail of the pumpkin will become the nose, the glasses are stuck into its pulp with arches.

Crystals from an old chandelier will quickly turn into earrings. And the buttons on the leg will become eyes.

See how a pumpkin carriage is made, a craft that can be left at home or taken to a competition.

But first take:

pumpkin;
felt-tip pen to match the vegetable;
knife;
spoon;
4 heads of garlic.

Manufacturing instruction:

First, draw triangles with a felt-tip pen on one side and the other of the pumpkin, rounded at the bottom.
Use a sharp knife to make holes along the outlines - they will soon turn into carriage windows.
Use a spoon and hand to scoop out the pulp through these holes.
Removing the peel with a knife in the places indicated in the photo, apply a drawing to the vegetable. Then you will have the curtains on the window, doors and other elements stand out.
Put the doll inside, put the carriage on the heads of garlic. It is good if those with a part of the stem. Then connect them in pairs with toothpicks.

Autumn pumpkin crafts can be different. To make a turkey or a bird of happiness, cut feathers out of cardboard. Attach them to the vegetable with a toothpick. Shape the wings in the same way. And on a blank made of colored cardboard, glue the eyes, beak, attach it to the vegetable.

Here is another pumpkin craft that can be made by hand for a child care center.

For her you will need:

paper;
pins;
a thread;
2 chestnuts;
plasticine.

Manufacturing:

Draw a circle on the side of the pumpkin, cut along the outlines with a knife, remove the pulp.
Insert 7 pins along the edges of the groove. Wind a thread diagonally around them, then twist it in a circle. Next, complete the second row by tying the thread on the diagonal threads.
So, moving in a circle, reach the middle of the web. You can make the same net on the other side of the pumpkin.
Roll up tubes from rectangles of paper, attach them to two chestnuts with plasticine.

See how you can turn a squash and carrot into a rat. To do this, trim the bottom of the zucchini so that it becomes stable. Using toothpicks, attach the carrot-nose to its top. Cut paws, tail, ears from another carrot.

And if you also use a pumpkin, you can make a train. Cut 8 circles from one zucchini. These will be wheels. Attach four with toothpicks to the side of the zucchini (this is a steam locomotive) and the carriage - the pumpkin circle. You will cut it off from the top of this vegetable, and place the fruit on top. You can put green tomatoes or other vegetables inside.
