Autumn is a fertile time of the year that gives people delicious fruits. In addition to benefiting the body and saturating it with vitamins, they also bring aesthetic pleasure. After all, in the fall there is an opportunity to dream up and show creativity in the manufacture of crafts for the fair to school.
Every year elementary schools organize exhibitions of works made from natural materials. Fruits, vegetables, natural material are used. Children receive a charge of emotions, joy from creativity. Showing their imagination, the guys learn how to process vegetables, carefully use a knife, cut out the necessary details.
Help from parents
Many parents believe that for a child to complete a school assignment well, it is necessary to help him, and some even do everything for their children. I would like to say to such "caring" mothers that they are raising a non-initiative member of society, which they will later regret very much. But it will be too late.
How can parents help right? Let's givea couple of tips. Of course, the first time a child receives such a task from a teacher, the child may be confused. After all, he had never done crafts for the fair at school before. You need to calm him down, say that it is absolutely easy, offer a lot of different options for crafts from fruits, leaves, twigs and other natural materials.
When a child considers photo crafts for the autumn fair at school, pay attention to the details, the sequence of work. Say that it’s not difficult at all, let the baby feel that he will definitely cope on his own, since he is already a schoolboy. You also need to have a conversation about the rules for handling a knife.
Pre-work
The help of parents also consists in buying the necessary materials. After the child has chosen the topic of crafts for the fair to school, decided what the work will be done from, you need to go to the market for vegetables. In addition to them, you still need materials that will hold the parts together. To do this, you can buy a set of wooden toothpicks, skewers for barbecue will come in handy. They are denser and longer than toothpicks. You can use dry even twigs.
Before starting work, you can advise the child to practice for the first time, first making such a figure home. Children love to fantasize, so you can make some changes to the chosen option, or maybe even come up with something unique.
Cabbage Smesharik
A very simple version of crafts for the fair at school, at the same time cute and loved by children - Smesharik. It can be made from a whole head of cabbage, twopotatoes, onions and olives.
You need to take the cabbage, tear off all the leaves that are bristling, leaving a smooth ball. From the torn leaves at the end, it will be possible to attach ears on the top of the head for a bunny. Further, by a deep puncture of a head of cabbage, two paws-potatoes on skewers are attached from below.
Before you start working with potatoes, you need to wash and dry them well. Next, you need to peel a small onion and cut it in half. Having visually chosen places for future eyes, we prick onion halves on toothpicks so that the sharp edges stick out of the onion. They are then put on pitted olives cut in half. Instead of olives for these purposes, you can take some dark berries. If there is still blackcurrant on sale, then it will fit perfectly. Or use grapes for the eyes and nose. You can draw a mouth with ketchup or cut a strip of carrot and pin it with toothpicks on both sides. Ears - cabbage leaf, divided in half. To make the ears stick up, you can substitute sticks under the middle, as in the photo.
Potato Man
For such crafts for the autumn fair, you need to buy one salad pepper of any color, a radish, large and small potatoes, a lemon. A large detail is the head, which is set with toothpicks on small potatoes cut in half. Then you need to clean the pepper. It is better to buy round rather than long vegetables, then the shape of the ears and eyebrows will be suitable. They are also attached with sticks from a set of toothpicks. The hair on the head is made ofseveral sprigs of parsley, which are inserted into the cut-out depression in the center of the top.
The eyes are made from small oblong radishes, cut in half, and the mouth is made from large, cut into thin strips. Cut out a smile with a knife. The mouth can also be made from a tomato, just cut out the core so that the juice does not flow out. The nose is made from lemon skin (as in the photo). Or you can come up with your own version, for example, from carrots or parsley root.
Sheep
As a craft for a charity fair to school, you can make a large lamb from dense cauliflower. Additionally, you need to buy champignons and flax seeds for the eyes. Ears can be made from parsley or celery root.
The cauliflower should be placed with the stem down, cutting it evenly so that it looks like a lamb's legs. If this does not work out, then the legs can be made from other vegetables, such as carrots or pumpkins. They will be brighter. For the head in the photo, a champignon mushroom inserted inside the cabbage was used. In order for the mushroom to take this position, you need to carefully cut one cabbage inflorescence with a knife. And in the resulting recess, insert the mushroom with the reverse side, so that the leg looks out. It is recommended to sharpen the nose-leg a little, giving it a shape.
It remains only to attach the grain-eyes and ears. You can just push them in deeply. If they do not hold, then replace with any other material, for example, cut strips of carrotsand stick them into the body of the mushroom so that they peek out with the end part.
As many small crafts for the fair to school, you can make a whole flock of sheep from cauliflower. To do this, you need to divide the inflorescence into small parts and make this cute animal out of each. Only instead of mushrooms, use, for example, black olives for the head and carved parsley root sticks for the legs.
Vegetable flowers
For the fall fair at school, vegetable crafts can be flowers on a paper or plastic plate. You will need a tomato, carrot, corn, cucumber, olives, spinach leaves and celery sprigs.
First, spinach leaves of the same shape are selected and laid out in the center of each flower, with the tops of the sheets along the edges, like the sun. These will be the petals of our flowers. The middles are cut out of a tomato. Cut off a thin slice. It is desirable that it contains more pulp and less juicy core. The stem and leaves are made from celery sprigs. In order for the flowers to turn out extraordinary, funny faces are made in the middle of each of them. Eyes - round pieces of cucumbers or zucchini, on which you need to put black olives, cut in half. The mouth is represented by strips of carrots, and the teeth are made from corn kernels. Everything, the masterpiece is ready!
Cucumber machine
As a craft for the autumn fair, you can bring to school not only figurines of animals, but also do work in the form of a car. We use cucumber or zucchini. The product is quite easydoable, so even a first grader can do it.
The car body is made from a whole long cucumber. For the radish driver, you need to cut a round hole in the middle. The wheels are circles of cucumber or zucchini. Attach them to one toothpick, piercing through the cucumber. You can add yellow headlights by cutting them out of pepper, and "feet" in the back from carrots. The driver can be made from any other vegetables, showing imagination.
Race car
This do-it-yourself school fair craft option is quite difficult. To do this work, you need to strictly follow the instructions and refer to the image in the photo. This craft can be done by older children.
It is made from corn, red onions, beets, tomatoes, green beans. Also used are broccoli, mushrooms, cabbage leaves and cucumber.
The hood of the car - small corn - is installed in front. The front wheels - thick slices of onions - are inserted into toothpicks, on which bean pods are put on. The rear axle of the car is made in the same way, only a long wooden skewer is used, in the middle of which a spoiler made of beets and cucumber is attached. So that it does not fall back, but stays in place, insert a broccoli inflorescence in the middle. The cucumber is attached with a toothpick to it.
The driver's cab is just in the middle. It does not need to be fixed, however, place the workyou need immediately on a dish or tray so that it does not move. When transporting to the fair site, the parts may move, so that the middle can be positioned already in place. To do this, prepare chopped tomatoes and put them on the bottom of the cabin. The sides consist of several layers of bean pods, put on two toothpicks on each side. The mushroom driver is placed on a soft green seat. Looks like a lot of hard work. Although it is not easy to do.
Penguin Family
For crafts for the autumn fair in elementary school, a child can make several penguins on his own. Making them is easy. It is necessary to cut the zucchini in half and with a knife carefully cut out the muzzle on the skin along with the light part of the abdomen, as in the photo. It remains only to attach a carrot nose and eyes, which can be used as dry peas or allspice. Instead of paws, circles of carrots cut out in shape are inserted.
To make the characters different from each other, their figures are supplemented with various small details. One has a carrot hat, the girl has a bow on her head. For a character with a butterfly on his chest, you can make a sled. For a seat, you can use a cabbage stump or a slice of celery root. The last character was given a spear.
Pumpkin cat
You can use a pumpkin to make vegetable crafts for the school fair. It is advisable to choose a vegetable small and smooth. The torso of the cat will be made from the pumpkin. Instead of a head, an apple planted forfortresses on several skewers. Then work begins on small details. Ears, nose, tail and paws are made from cut pieces of carrots. Round eyes can be cut from cucumber.
But the mustache in the photo looks a little miserable. You can freshen up the work by making a mustache from a denser natural material so that it does not hang down sadly, but stands erect. It is optimal to use sprigs of greens without leaves (dill, parsley, basil or celery). To prevent thin living twigs from breaking, it is recommended to use dried ones or to pre-poke a hole in the apple with a stick, and only then insert them.
Eggplant zebra
Crafts for the Kindness Fair at school made from eggplant will look beautiful. They are bright, contrasting and shiny. Making the zebra shown in the photo is not difficult, you just need to cut the stripes beautifully. To make it convenient for the child to cut, dad can offer to use a chisel instead of a knife. The curves of the patterns on the zebra's body can be drawn in advance with a marker.
When the most difficult work is done, you need to wipe the strips with lemon juice so that they always remain bright and do not darken with time. The head is represented by a whole eggplant, which must be firmly attached to the body. The body of the animal must rest securely on the surface of the stand where the craft will be located. Therefore, the lower body is evenly cut with a knife. But for the head you need to doslanted incision so that she looks down. Two eggplants are fastened together with long wooden skewers.
Further add small details. Olive eyes are attached with toothpicks. But the ears are made of dark basil leaves.
