Chestnut and plasticine mushrooms
This is the easiest option, which, moreover,requires work with your fingers. Let's get started For the manufacture of mushrooms from chestnuts will need: clay of light colors, better yellow and white can be; half-chestnuts, i.e. those with one side flat; cardboard sheet to create a composition of “autumn” color - brown, yellow, orange or red; plate for modeling; stack. Chestnut mushrooms: description of work This work is designed for children who are confident enough to work with clay and will be able to roll the sausage, pinch the clay into pieces, give the piece of clay the desired shape. So, from yellow or white (or brown) plasticine we make legs for future chestnut mushrooms. We roll thick sausages, and then we blunt them from two sides. We put on one of the ends of the sausage flatpart of the chestnut and "we grease" its petals to the chestnut. This is necessary to ensure that the construction is held confidently and does not crumble as soon as the clay hardens. Then in the same way we grease the second part of the mushroom stem to the cardboard. Making a few mushrooms. We decorate our composition. To do this, from the yellow plasticine we mold a small leaf; with a stack on it we draw the veins and stick it to the cap of one of the fungi. The yellow plasticine is rolled out into a thin-thin sausage, which is then nipped with fingers into pieces. It is better to tweak rather than chop the stack, so that the ends of the fragments are thinned. This is a yellowed blade of grass. Stick them around the mushrooms.
Mushrooms from acorns and chestnuts
Creating mushrooms from chestnuts and acorns - handicraftfor the little ones. All the skills that kids will need in the process of work (or will be acquired by them when creating crafts) - is to attach a shapeless piece of clay to cardboard and make plasticine balls. To create mushrooms from chestnuts and acorns, take: chestnuts and acorns without caps; plasticine "autumn" color; stack; a piece of cardboard suitable for the fall color. Chestnut and acorn mushrooms: job description If the clay is too hard, it can be softened by holding in hot water or heated in a microwave under the hood (after which the hood and microwave should be washed!) on mode 450 - one and a half to two minutes. A piece of yellow, brown or beige plasticine is kneaded in the palms, after which, giving it a flat shape, we press it against a sheet of cardboard. This will be our clearing where mushrooms will settle. In the "clearing" we stick the acorns with the pointed side down. Then with a stack on the “meadow” draw grass. From plasticine we pinch small pieces and roll them into balls; to achieve the ideal form is not necessary. These balls are attached to chestnuts, and the chestnut plasticine side sit on the legs of acorns. If there is a ready-made decor - for example, wooden ladybugs - they can also be attached to mushrooms on plasticine balls. A little more complicated -: the link is a master class with a photo.
