Autumn crafts made from natural materials: quick and beautiful. Ideas for primary school and kindergarten

In contact with

Classmates

With the arrival of autumn, not only is it time for rain, but it is also time to create beautiful autumn crafts. It’s good that autumn is no less generous than summer and we have plenty to use for making autumn crafts for kindergarten.

Additionally, to work with natural materials you will need paints, brushes, a glue gun, small colored pompoms, feathers, leftover felt or fabric, beads, and other various decorative options.

Now, knowing what to make autumn crafts from, let’s quickly start creating them. For example, pine cones make these cute chickens. For them you will need cones, yellow gouache, a brush, a foam ball or large bead, a glue gun, plastic eyes, a piece of orange felt and scissors. Paint both the cone and the ball yellow, glue them together, glue a felt beak and eyes to the head, and a pair of legs to the bottom of the cone. If you have a couple of real feathers, you can glue them to the sides of the chicken.

A hedgehog from a pine cone can be made in two versions. In the first case, you will need a pine cone, a piece of light brown or beige felt, eyes, a small black pompom, and a glue gun. Cut out a piece for the hedgehog's face from felt, decorate it appropriately and glue it to the pine cone.

The second option involves having a large number of fir cones, a small plastic bottle with a black cap, a glue gun, jute rope, ready-made large eyes or leftover black and white felt. Wrap jute rope around the neck of the bottle and glue the pine cones over the entire surface of the bottle. Cut out the eyes from felt and decorate the muzzle.

You can make a wonderful owl if, after a trip to the forest, you have acorn caps, a piece of bark and a pumpkin seed. Just glue all the parts and secure the owl to the tree branch.

To make a snail, you will need chestnuts, plasticine and a pair of matches for the horns. If there are no matches, then you can replace them with toothpicks, however, it is worth protecting the child from injury and gluing a bead to the tips of the horns.

You can also turn a chestnut into an incomprehensible but funny animal by gluing huge paper eyes, a pair of paper legs and a braided hat to the chestnut.

Everyone's favorite bright bug, a ladybug, you'll definitely succeed if you find a chestnut, a pair of eyes, paints and two push pins. You can read more in our master class.

Young fans of the cartoon “My Neighbor Totoro” can create their favorite character from an acorn and paper. Paint the acorn with gouache, and make the ears from tiny leaves or paper and glue them to the acorn.

A nut shell will turn into a boat in a matter of minutes if you glue a tree branch inside each shell and attach a sail made of a leaf.

The variety of autumn leaves stimulates children's imagination and as a result we can see completely unusual things.

For example, these funny little people made from leaves. Just glue the maple leaves to the paper, draw the arms, legs and glue the eyes and nose.

Every baby can make hedgehogs from leaves if the mother draws a hedgehog’s face on paper and trusts the child to glue leaves and needles to it.

Another forest dweller, red-haired and cunning, can become your autumn craft. To create it you will need a maple leaf, paper eyes and ears, a small pompom for the nose and PVA glue.

Another version of forest animals made from leaves and paper. To give your craft the features of the desired animal, simply draw a face on paper and glue on appropriately sized ears made from leaves.

Using leaves you can make not only animals, but also people. Cut out a head from felt, paper or foamiran, glue on eyes and a nose and make a fluffy hairstyle from maple leaves.

Woodsmen, the indigenous inhabitants of the forest, will be made from cardboard tubes, leaves, buttons, small stones and pieces of chenille. It is best to fasten all the parts with a glue gun.

You can also turn cardboard sleeves into fall trees by painting them brown, gluing one edge to the cardboard, and attaching fall foliage to the other edge.

No paper? This means you can make leaves from cardboard and knitting threads. Cut out leaves from thick cardboard and wrap with thick, bright threads. Glue the end of the thread and hide it between the thread layers.

Don’t forget about buttons, another universal material for crafts.

If you repaint old and unwanted puzzles, you can end up with a beautiful autumn tree. Make a tree trunk from leftover fabric, folded into a pigtail and glued to a thick base.

But, if, nevertheless, you managed to collect large stocks of autumn herbarium, then you can make such beautiful candlesticks. You will only need small leaves, PVA glue, a brush and a glass jar.

And you can decorate a photo frame with acorns, where you will place a photograph taken during your last trip to the forest.

As you can see, there are a lot of options for autumn crafts for kindergarten and school. All you need is just to stock up on natural materials for crafts in time and open our website.

Hello everyone, today we will be uploading interesting autumn crafts for activities with children in kindergarten. Children can do a lot of autumn projects with their own hands. even in the younger groups of kindergarten. I will show you photos of autumn crafts for the garden and tell you exactly how to quick for the teacher and easy for the children organize similar work with children. We will paint, sculpt autumn crafts from plasticine, and work with leaves and other natural materials. To make it convenient for teachers to select autumn ideas for activities, I arranged all the crafts by age of preschoolers (junior, middle and senior groups of education).

Autumn crafts

for kindergarten

(younger group – 3-4 years)

The easiest way to create autumn crafts with young children three years old is to teach them how to use the print technique. It seems – what’s so complicated? Dip it in paint and splash it. But the fact is that not all children do it beautifully. Here you need to follow the rules.
1) don't spank the new print, completely covering the old print(there will be an ugly stain).

2) do not place prints of the same color next to each other(Only red in the left corner of the sheet, only yellow in the right), let the children learn to create color variety.

3) fill out all given space sheet, leaving no holes or unnecessary voids.

These rules apply to beautiful works on the theme “AUTUMN LEAF FALL” or “AUTUMN TREE”.

For leaf fall (in the left photo above) we are preparing stamps from small potato halves. On the cut of the potato, we use a knife to cut out the pattern of VEINS OF THE LEAF. We dilute the gouache slightly with water so that the paint is not too thick, pour it into bowls with a flat bottom (lids from jars will do). Each bowl of paint contains its own potato, you can’t confuse yellow potatoes, dip them only in yellow paint, orange ones only in orange. Otherwise (if you mix stamps), the paint in the bowls will also mix - everything will become the same orange.

Can be done autumn picture RAIN also using the stamp technique, which we will make from a toilet paper roll, we stamp it with our hands and give it the shape of a drop (as in the photo above).

Autumn craft TREE with leaves, you can also draw it using different stamps. These could be lumps of newspaper, bottle caps, cotton swabs, or just your fingers. A tree trunk can be made from a handprint (paint the palm with brown paint, print it on a sheet, and use a brush to paint over the unprinted areas).

Crafting an APPLE TREE is also a good job, not the theme of Autumn in kindergarten. The trunk of the apple tree can be glued onto the background sheet in advance. And give the children the task of drawing apples and leaves.

Apples are drawn very well using the method of imprinting a carrot, or any other round cut.

You can use the APPLES THEMSELVES, CUTTED IN HALVES, as an imprint. Then you and your children can make a Compote or Apple Tree craft with real apple shapes (photo below).

Children in the younger group really like this autumn craft: COLOR THE APPLE. Here we work with our fingers and the most interesting thing in this work is the UNIFORM TRANSITION of color from red to yellow. That is, first we give the child the task of painting the left edge of the apple red and the right edge yellow. And fill the middle with prints of both colors (on the yellow side - more yellow ones, and on the red side make more red fingerprints). This requires intelligence, attentiveness and constant consideration of the proportionality of colors on the left and right... Teacher repeat, the main idea is that there are more reds on the red side, and more yellows on the yellow side. At the same time, we reinforce the concepts of “more, less.”

In the autumn craft COVER THE LEAF, you can also set the task of distributing the color evenly over the leaf: red on one side, yellow on the other, it turns into green, then into burgundy.

If the child does not understand the task and blurs out all the colors into a common smeared mess, do not scold, give a new template of a blank sheet and try to draw a second leaf together with the child, show how the colors can NEXT next to each other and not mix into the mud.

You can make a HEDGEHOG craft from children's handprints. You just need to organize everything correctly (a damp cloth on the table for each child).

Autumn crafts-appliques

for the younger group of the garden.

A regular application for 3-year-old children can also be interesting and contain logical tasks.

Here is an example of such a craft in the photo below. On a sheet of paper with bright wax crayons, the teacher’s hand draws the contours of autumn leaves (orange, yellow, red), each with its own shape. There are circles in bowls on the table - each bowl has its own color. The child’s task is to fill the contours of the drawn leaves with circles of the CORRECT COLOR and fill all the spaces inside the leaves - one in each. Here the mathematical concepts of “shapes”, the concept of “one at a time” and counting within the number three are reinforced.

Children also like this autumn craft for the garden - applique DRESS A TREE. We make slits on toilet paper rolls. We insert a green silhouette of a cardboard crown into them. And children place leaves on the glue in any order and direction.

This activity can be turned into modeling - sticking leaves by peeling off pieces of colored plasticine and gluing them like cakes on cardboard, and then the teacher will put all the cardboards on trunks and arrange a small exhibition AUTUMN PARK. It looks very beautiful on the windowsill in the locker room - 25 trees in gold and crimson - all the parents gasp.

Wax graphics

Autumn crafts in the garden

With the younger group.

Here's a technique that makes all the kids gasp. They clap their hands with delight when they make this autumn craft in the garden. There are also rules for children that need to be taught to them.

The teacher draws silhouettes of leaves on a white blank sheet - WITH WHITE WAX CHALK (or a piece of a candle). It is important that the wax chalk should be thick and greasy, that is, check in advance which white chalks are suitable for this technique and which ones do not work well... now you will understand what we will check.

When autumn leaves are drawn on a white sheet with white wax chalk, THEY ARE INVISIBLE. The child thinks that the sheet is clean. But the teacher says that if we paint the sheet with the colors that Lady Autumn loves, then she will give us a surprise.

On the children's table there are already bowls of gouache DILUTTED WITH WATER. Gouache should not be thick, it should be watery, like colored water. In different containers of the palette there are different gouache waters (red, yellow, orange, green). The child dips the brush into the coloring water and applies it to a white, clean sheet. And the paint is applied to the paper, but does not stick to the waxed areas, and the wax contours remain unpainted - white. Autumn gives us magic - its leaf fall. The children are delighted.

Important #1 . In advance, the teacher CHECK BY EXPERIENCE whether the wax chalk leaves a sufficiently greasy mark. You need to paint over the wax mark yourself with colored water and look at the result. Not all manufacturers make good crayons.

Important #2 . Dilute the gouache with water. If you paint over with regular gouache, the consistency of sour cream, you will simply cover the wax layer with “this sour cream” and nothing will happen. Gausha must be very, very diluted with water. so that it looks like colored water. Then everything will turn out perfect.

Important #3 . Place a sign on a sheet of paper that will indicate the correct side of the sheet (the one on which you want to apply paint). With this craft it happens, that the child sees a blank sheet in front of him, takes it in his hands, twirls it, twists it, turns it over and puts it on the table with the back side (wax down) and then begins to color this blank side. That's why let something already be drawn on the sheet, for example a frame around the edges of the sheet. Like the frame of a window in which leaves will soon appear.

Important #4 . TEACH A CHILD do not scrape the brush across paper, and put the colored water in with soft movements - lick the paper sheet with the soft tail of the brush. If a child rubs the sheet with a brush like a washcloth, the wax will be erased and a beautiful mark will not be obtained (and for many children 3-4 years old this is a problem - they use the brush like a pencil or felt-tip pen - they scribble, pressing the brush tightly to the paper, SCRATCHING it). The brush is the kitten’s tongue, you need to gently lick the paper... lick-lick, lick-lick.

This activity just develops the skill of gentle painting.

Autumn crafts

For the middle group

Kindergarten

Craft PORTRAIT OF AUTUMN - children of the middle group really like it. A circle is drawn on a piece of paper. The child’s task is to take a dry leaf from a tree, cover it with paint, and stamp it along the edge of the circle. Repeat this imprint several times - along the entire edge of the circle - like a round dance of leaves. Draw a face in the center of the circle. This is autumn smiling at us - she likes this portrait.

In the middle group of kindergarten, children can make an AUTUMN FOREST craft - we simply give the child a sheet of paper already tinted blue and ordinary leaves from trees (not dry, brittle, but freshly fallen). The child first draws on the bottom of the sheet, the ground strewn with leaves - this is simply poking yellow-orange-red prints with his finger.

And then he “plants autumn trees” and coats the leaf with paint on the underside of the leaf where the rough veins protrude. And while the paint is not dry, he quickly smoothes it onto the paper with his stem downwards - presses it with his palm so that it makes a good imprint. If the line-trunk (stem) is not imprinted, they can be painted on with a brush later.

Leaf prints can also be used in other garden crafts (photo below) - it could be a WINDOW with falling leaves, or a tree crown on a toilet paper roll.

You can use leaf prints as an additional BACKGROUND DECORATION for another applique craft in the garden. For example, you came up with the idea of ​​making a bird applique. Then we’ll decorate the background with sky blue and add branches. And before gluing the bird, the child covers the entire sheet of paper with leaf prints. And the bird will already be against the background of foliage.

Autumn craft LEAVES for the garden

(average group for 4-5 years).

In kindergarten, already in the middle group, there is intensive practice of shading. We teach the child to hold the crayon with three fingers and make up and down hatching movements - this is an important part of preparing the hand for writing. Children with undeveloped shading skills have difficulty mastering writing; letters in copybooks are written with incredible effort.

Therefore, seize the moment - while the child is small, you can put a bunch of useful “devices” in him, which will then make his life much easier, and not only at school.

Everything is simple here. The teacher traces a real maple leaf on a piece of paper. Cut out these leaves. And on each one we draw veins - which divide the leaf into sectors.

During the classes, children are shown how to color each section of a leaf with chalk - and how beautiful it becomes. Children will have fun creating their own coloring designs.

You can cut out small leaves for children. Let them paint each of them in any autumn color. And they will decorate the crown of a tree made with your own hands.

You can draw the veins on the paper contours of the leaves with WAX WHITE CHALK (thick), and then paint with gouache or watercolor paint diluted heavily with water. Then the sheet will be painted over and the white wax strips will not take the paint. And you will get a very beautiful craft with autumn leaves.

Leaves painted by children can become elements of a large COLLECTIVE APPLICATION; it can be displayed on a separate stand (above the lockers in the locker room) or on a window.

Crafts AUTUMN TREES

For the middle group of the garden.

The most difficult part of this autumn garden craft is not the coloring, but the arrangement of the branches. The branches for the trees are cut by the children themselves. The teacher gives each child a rectangle of brown paper. Using scissors, children in the middle group cut this piece into twig strips. And now one branch needs to be laid centrally as the trunk of the crown, and the remaining branches to the sides of this central axis.

A beautiful autumn craft for a kindergarten activity is shown in the photo below. We draw the outlines of trees and a lawn with a hillock on a white sheet of paper. We cut out the outlines of the trees along with the lawn and paste them onto a sheet of black paper. Next, the child will paint over exactly these white areas with gouache diluted with water or watercolor. On a dark background the paint will look brighter and more saturated.

Leaf applications

Autumn crafts for the garden.

In the middle group, children can already work with dried leaves - they will no longer crumble fragile dry leaves in their hands, but understand that they need to very gently spread them with glue and gently press them to a sheet of paper. Crafts for the middle group of kindergarten should not be complicated. Just an autumn tree (the trunk is a handprint). Each child should have a wet cloth on the table with which he can wipe the paint off his palm, first with one side, then turn the cloth over and wipe it with the other side.

Here is a series of beautiful autumn crafts with turkeys, where the tail is made from leaves. We attach the leaves to plasticine or thick PVA glue (or double-sided tape).

Autumn crafts

for garden

(senior group, 5-6 years old).

In the senior group of kindergarten you can make complex MOSAIC crafts. The duration of art activities in this age group is already 25 minutes. And this time is enough to lay out a mosaic silhouette on the theme of Autumn (pumpkin craft, acorn, owl, umbrella with rain).

The children cut the mosaic pieces themselves. First, cut a square of paper into strips, then each strip is cut into cubes.

Important. Be sure to use colored DOUBLE-SIDED paper for such crafts. So that the color is on both sides of the pieces so that they do not turn over with the white side. And it will be easy to find pieces of the desired color in the bowl.

Stained glass technique

Crafts for the garden on the theme AUTUMN.

On a sheet of paper we draw the silhouette of an autumn leaf. We draw the same silhouette on the back side of the sheet (as if through the sheet). The task of the child in the older group of the kindergarten is to fill it with multi-colored pieces of paper napkin, so that the entire outline is covered with a colored mosaic. Next, use scissors to cut along the contour that we see on the back side of the sheet (it was not for nothing that we drew the second contour). And we get an autumn leaf completely filled with colored mosaics.

Pieces of a transparent napkin can be replaced with crepe paper - it is also transparent and lines drawn with paints or markers can be seen through it (as we see the crown of a tree in the autumn craft below).

Autumn crafts in the kindergarten

Senior group.

WITH PAINTS

A very beautiful autumn craft TREES ON THE SHORE, when the trees are reflected in the water. This craft can be done by children 5 years old. Just right for the older group of kindergarten. Because it is at this age that children can quickly handle a brush.

First you need to fold a sheet of paper in half. Children of this age already have experience folding a sheet of paper evenly. And they will be happy to do it themselves.

If the teacher has not developed this skill in children in previous design classes, let them fold the leaves themselves, in advance, before the lesson. Spending precious minutes learning to fold and scolding those who cannot do it straight is a waste of time allotted for drawing lessons.

In short, we have a sheet of paper - it has a horizontal fold. Now the child takes green paint on a brush and paints grass. We put the gouache in a thick layer - and quickly print it on the back side of the sheet - FOLDING THE SHEET IN HALF along this finished fold line.

After weed, the child takes on a different color – yellow. And we draw the crown of one yellow tree. A spot is above the grass - and quickly bends the leaf so that this spot is reflected below. Next, we do the same with other crown spots. Then we do the same with the trunks.

Here's another craft with paints AUTUMN UMBRELLA. We take a semicircular piece made of white paper. And fold it into a fan (starting from the center). Then we unfold this part and draw stripes on it with gouache. Then we fold the fan again along the previous fold lines. And we form an umbrella applique. Also a craft with an autumn theme. And it’s easy to do in kindergarten classes.

Children love making the AUTUMN BRANCHES craft. We take empty branches without leaves. Using colored paper, we cut out the outlines of the leaves and use plasticine to attach these leaves to a dry branch.

There is no need to paint each leaf separately. We simply paint a sheet of paper in streaks with wet paint, allowing the colors to mix freely and flow beyond each other. And then fold this dry sheet of colored paper several times (like a snowflake) and cut out the shape of leaves from this fold - we’ll get several pieces at once.

You can paint a sheet not only with a brush, but also with a toothbrush - splashing drops of paint by running your finger along the brushes. At the same time, you need to tilt the brush so that the spray does not fly into your face, but onto a sheet of paper.

You can plant a bird or a bat on such an autumn branch.

The OWL crafts look beautiful on the branches, and under the branches there is the HEDGEHOG craft or the autumn-red FOX.

This is a simple craft just for the garden. The teacher rolls half a cardboard sheet into a tube and fastens it in advance with a stapler or double-sided tape. The child only kneads the upper edge of the bell with his hands (front and back) to form protruding ears-corners (like the owl in the photo below).

Crafts WITH SCISSORS

For the older group.

At the age of 5-6 years, children already have a year's experience in operating scissors. And therefore they can cut complex contours. For example, they can cut out an oak leaf like this. The teacher draws a leaf on a rectangle of colored paper with veins on it. A child cuts out a piece of paper with scissors.

Blanks for the snail are also cut along the contour. A strip of paper is rolled up like a spittalka into a tube, then unfolded into a relaxed twist. And glue it onto the back of the snail.

Or a snail can be molded from plasticine. This is also a quick and beautiful craft for the older group in the kindergarten - it involves modeling and cutting with scissors.

You can make a worm that gnaws on a leaf and a roll of toilet paper. Like the one in the photo below. A simple and very cute craft for children. Everyone loves the smiling worm.

These are some interesting autumn craft ideas for kindergarten classes. Now your autumn won't be boring. After all, every activity can give a child a colorful mood – as bright as this autumn.

Collecting autumn gifts with children is a most exciting activity. How much joy and benefit comes from joint creativity at this time of year. Searching and selecting materials, sorting and preparing them, thinking about an idea you like, and the very embodiment of the author’s plan - all these are opportunities not only for interesting communication, but also for broadening a child’s horizons, getting to know the world around him and teaching him basic work skills. And the development of imagination and fine motor skills of the hands, the development of patience and the ability to finish what is started are accompanying useful aspects of this creative activity. In addition, crafts made from natural materials are an excellent gift option for moms and dads, grandparents, which children can make with their own hands.

*For your material to be included in this section, add a couple of lines to your blog material in the “Categories” field, separated by commas and without quotes: "children's crafts, autumn crafts"

Good afternoon, today I am creating an article for children, teachers and parents - who need to make an autumn craft QUICKLY and as SIMPLY as possible. It so happened that unexpectedly, you found out that your family is the only one that has not yet brought a craft on the theme of Autumn. And so Outside the window, shops are closed, you don't run away into the forest for bumps- and tomorrow morning you need to bring a gorgeous thing made with your own hands - and so that the craft looks not shameful, but worthy (you can’t dishonor your own child). So, especially for this sudden forced creativity, I prepared this article with the SIMPLE autumn crafts. Parents will not have to spend a sleepless night; material for crafts will be found in any normal family. And everyone will go to bed on time and with calm nerves. Let's put reproaches aside, take scissors and paper, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, glue, paint... in short, everything that's gathering dust on the shelves at home and let's create.

Autumn crafts

like simple APPLICATIONS.

We all know how to cut out complex silhouettes with scissors. And we all know how to stick them on paper. It will be better and more chic to make an autumn applique craft on a large sheet of paper - this will cause respect for your work. But you don't have a big sheet - so We act quickly and decisively - we create a single canvas from 4 landscape sheets - we place them end to end on the table, stretch the joints with tape - and turn them face up - a large sheet is ready for applique).

Now we tint this white blank sheet of paper with gouache... it’s better to dilute the gouache with water, take a dishwashing sponge, dip it in colored water and quickly rub the entire paper with a bluish tint (it will be a heavenly color) - autumn landscapes, falling leaves and other reds look good against this background -orange elements of autumn paper sketches.

Here are somewhat ready that you do not puzzle over the plot and production.

And if you don’t have enough colored paper, then take gouache and white sheets - draw black tree trunks and colorful bright crowns on them - let it dry and SPRAY with HAIR SPRAY - so that the color shines glossy and cheerful. And then we cut out the finished elements of the future craft with scissors and glue them onto our BACKGROUND SHEET - it turns out just great, especially considering our scale of 4 landscape sheets (that is, A2).

Pumpkin crafts

EASY OPTIONS.

Autumn also means pumpkins - pot-bellied orange ones. Here are some super quick ideas on how to make an easy fall craft worthy of the eyes of the fair's educators. The best way is to make layered pumpkin. We cut out parts from cardboard - the back one is wide, the middle one is narrower, another one is narrower and the top one is the narrowest. We put them on top of each other - and so that there is volume between each layer we make PADS from a thick substance (a strip of paper folded several times is perfect for this role - just a thick layer - we put several of these pieces on each part). So with layers - we will get a VOLUME CONVEX pumpkin with a 3D effect.

The same work can be done not with cardboard - but with felt, or formiam, or donate thick, plump napkins for wiping tables in the kitchen.

But if you do not have a desire to tighten paper strips into the folds-layers, then make simple flat pumpkin applications. BUT THEN try, first of all, not from paper, but from cardboard - it will be more solid. And add some original material - with an interesting texture - for example, burlap, or cut a new cloth for wiping the table, do not regret it.

You can also make a pumpkin patch out of a cardboard box. Also a simple craft. We take a large cookie box - we make PARTITION WALLS out of cardboard in it (they are inside the box and are not visible behind the high sides) - and on these membrane walls we glue the silhouettes of pumpkins - we get several rows - a row with leaves, a row with small pumpkins, back row with a large pumpkin. Easy - quick and simple for parents and children.

LIGHT spectacular

crafts on the theme of autumn.

Here are some more pretty quick to make ideas. And they look like 100 bucks, no less!

For example, this accordion craft with a squirrel. Simple steps that are easy to repeat with your own hands.

Fold a sheet of cardboard in half. In the center of the cardboard we make a CUT perpendicular to the fold line - we cut it 3 cm short of the end of the folded sheet. This cut divided our cardboard sheet into two zones- the left one (without folds with only one fold line at the top) and the right one, which we will harmonize into folds.

With a pencil on the left side of the sheet we outline the lines of future folds:

The first line is 3 cm from the edge, the second is 6 cm from the edge (this will be the first fold).
Now we divide the remaining “space up to the middle fold line” in half and draw a third line there - the resulting line will be the top of the second fold-slide.
And the fourth line runs through the middle of the back half of the left side - this will be the top of the last fold.

Here’s another quick and easy craft on the theme AUTUMN BOUQUET for the competition. We cut a paper coffee cup, make inner flaps that are tucked inward, smeared with glue and glued to the canvas of the future painting. We paint the glass or cover it with paper. Next, we place paper leaves and cardboard branches into a beautiful autumn bouquet and create the chic of our craft

Works where the idea of ​​the craft is a very simple element, WINDOW SILHOUETTE, look great. This window frame ennobles and interestingly presents even the simplest autumn appliqué.

Evening is an amazing time when the whole family gets together and unsuspecting parents find out that they need to bring autumn crafts to the kindergarten for tomorrow. So that such a situation does not take you by surprise, we recommend preparing in advance and familiarizing yourself with ideas for children's crafts.

We have prepared for you many step-by-step and colorful master classes of varying difficulty levels. We are sure that you will definitely find something worthwhile for yourself.

Hedgehogs are all different

Did you know that the Soviet cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” 15 years ago was recognized as the best animated film of all time? You see what a difficult animal this hedgehog is. It is definitely worthy of repeated embodiment using various natural materials.

Volumetric hedgehog made of seeds and plasticine

A cheerful and thrifty hedgehog, cheerfully carrying mushrooms on its back, may come to visit your apartment in the fall. To do this, you will need to stock up on simple natural materials, an hour of free time and involve young assistants in the work.

For joint creativity you will need:

• foil;
• leg-split;
• black and brown
• unpeeled seeds;
• PVA glue;
• acorns and leaves for decoration.

Make the base of the hedgehog from foil. You can immediately tear off a large piece of foil and form it into a drop-shaped piece. Or roll a separate ball for the body and a small cone for the spout and connect them together, wrapping them in foil.

Cover the hedgehog's body with black plasticine and its face with brown plasticine. This important stage can be safely entrusted to a child; nothing will be spoiled, and all the flaws will then be hidden.

Lubricate the muzzle with a thin layer of PVA. Also moisten the twine a little with glue and wrap it tightly, row by row, around the face, starting from the nose. You'll have to stop there for now and let the glue dry. Remember that this should happen naturally. On a radiator or when drying with a hairdryer, the plasticine will melt.

The next stage is the design stage. You need to make needles for the hedgehog from the seeds. Start work from the head, arrange the rows of seeds in a checkerboard pattern. Stick the “needles” into the plasticine as tightly as possible to each other.

Decorate the face with plasticine eyes and nose.

Mushrooms can be easily made from acorns by simply covering their caps with brown plasticine. If you wish, you can attach real leaves to them. Using plasticine, attach the mushrooms to the back of the hedgehog.

Such a cutie will definitely please your child, and will also allow you to enjoy joint creativity.

To work you will need:

• cotton wool;
• water; starch;
• long nails or thick wire;
• cardboard;
• paints and brushes;
• PVA glue;

To begin, together with your child, select the types of mushrooms that you want to bring to life. From thick cardboard, cut out the base circles for their future hats.

Pierce each circle in the middle with a nail. It will serve as the base for the leg. Instead, you can use thick steel wire. But it’s better not to bother and buy a dozen or two potential “mushroom legs” at your nearest hardware store.

Now it’s time to cook the paste. Boil a liter of water. Stir 5 tbsp in a glass of cold water. with a heap of potato starch. While stirring boiling water, pour starch into it in a stream. Stirring, bring the paste to a boil. It is ready to use, all you have to do is wait for it to cool to room temperature.

Coat the mushroom preparation with paste. Roll a cotton wool ball for the hat, dip it in paste and glue it to the hat. Wrap the mushroom stem with moistened cotton wool. Repeat this procedure several times until you get the fungus of the desired size and shape.

Don't forget to squeeze out excess glue from the cotton wool! The resulting blanks must be completely dried on a radiator or in a warm oven. Already at this stage the mushrooms turn out very nice.

The time has come for creative work - painting. It is she who will turn faded preparations into real autumn mushrooms. You can paint crafts with any paint: acrylic, gouache or watercolor.

Color the caps according to the selected types of mushrooms.

Wait for the paint to dry completely. Cover the end of the leg with a thin layer of PVA and dip it in dry poppy seed or tea leaves - this will simulate the remains of earth.

For additional shine and chic, you can coat the mushroom caps with any colorless varnish.

You can decorate a beautiful basket with mushrooms - your craft will not go unnoticed. And the secret of making realistic mushrooms will long excite the imagination of everyone who is lucky enough to see them.

These are the hand made beauties that are obtained as a result of the efforts made.

Don't have a suitable basket? No problem! A beautiful composition using moss, coniferous or dry twigs and real dry leaves can be arranged in an ordinary cardboard box or on a small stump, or on your own.

Autumn trees

Plasticine tree

We offer you a beautiful and simple plasticine application that even the youngest naturalists can handle.

For work, prepare colored plasticine and cardboard.

Draw a tree trunk on thick cardboard. Now let your child roll a lot of thin and long plasticine sausages in 2-3 shades of brown.

Glue them along the tree trunk, alternating shades for realism. Fill in the entire contour of the trunk and don't forget about the branches.

Add some more branches for a lush crown.

Pumpkin

Autumn is harvest time. And even if you didn’t plan to collect a real harvest, surprise everyone with a realistic nylon pumpkin. You can make it for a children's autumn crafts competition, or just for fun, and at the same time get acquainted with an interesting technique for making nylon vegetables and fruits.

To work you will need:

• painted nylon;
• filler (foam rubber or padding polyester, even ordinary cotton wool will do);
• needle and thread;
• thin wire;
• a small piece of wire;
• green tape;
• scissors;
• brush and paints.

From the selected filler, form a ball the size of the future pumpkin. Cover the ball with yellow nylon folded in 3 layers. Tie the shell with thread and trim off the excess.

Using a needle, make jumpers with thread. Do them at the same distance until you go around the entire workpiece in a circle.

Use small pieces of thin wire to make round blanks for the leaves.

Cover them with green nylon, secure its ends with thread and trim off the excess. Slightly deform the edges of the leaves, giving them a realistic look. Wrap the ends of the wire with tape.

Wrap a piece of wire with tape. Wind it around the handle and carefully remove the resulting spiral. The result is a branch-tendril, which we will attach to the pumpkin.

Collect a pumpkin branch, gradually connecting the leaves and tendrils with tape in a random order.

At the top of the pumpkin, fix a piece of wire and wrap it with tape. Attach a branch with leaves to the tail.

To achieve realism, tint the depressions orange. Blot excess moisture with a napkin.

As a result of the efforts made, the result was a wonderful handmade autumn gift.
