Learn to please yourself and your children with hand-made vegetable figurines
Colorful crafts made from different vegetables are veryare popular at all children's parties. Naturally, the child will need help from parents when creating them, which makes the process more exciting for everyone. To create such works, you need a little patience, free time and imagination. Autumn always gives us a rich harvest. So why not use it as a material for creativity. Bright crafts will serve not only as an attribute of children's events, but will also allow you to decorate, for example, the family dinner table. Moreover, no special financial costs will be required. All the materials will probably be found in the home bins. So, let's try to implement the idea, using several ready-made ideas. Lariska the RatA unique fairytale specimen from a famous children's cartoon can be made if you have a radish at home. Required materials:
- a large white radish;
- leaves of cabbage or lettuce (that is at hand);
- radish;
- olives for the eyes (you can also use any other material);
- toothpicks;
- sharp kitchen knife.
First, wash and dry the radish thoroughly.We clean it from leaves, leaving only those leaves that will later serve as the tail. The roots are also removed, except for a few that will become the antennae of our Larisa. The front part of the vegetable is cut off, and in its place we attach a radish with a toothpick - this is our nose. We make ears from salad or cabbage leaves. To do this, we cut the vegetable on both sides and insert them there. We attach eyes from pieces of olives with the help of toothpicks. If desired, eyebrows can be attached from pieces of radish. PenguinFor this beautiful craft we will need onlyjust a few small eggplants and a knife. You should cut one part of the vegetable at an angle (opposite to the tail) to make our penguin stable. Next, use a knife to peel one side of the skin to form a belly. To avoid rapid darkening of the unprotected pulp, it should be treated with salt (rubbed). Then we form the wings. Use a knife to cut the skin a little at the top and bend it back. The tail of the eggplant is our beak. The eyes are beads or any other material secured with pins. A flock of several of these birds will be a real masterpiece. SheepHere, the cauliflower head will come to our aid.cabbage, olives and toothpicks. Armed with imagination, you can add other individual touches to our autumn craft from vegetables. A large head of cabbage will delight us with one individual animal. If we divide it into inflorescences - we will get a whole flock of cute sheep.One inflorescence is the body of a sheep.Attach an olive to it with a toothpick – the head. You can make ears from seeds, and eyes from beads. Matches, plasticine or pieces of, for example, potatoes are suitable for forming legs. DuckFor this masterpiece we will need a minimum ofmaterial and a little free time. The base is a curved eggplant (this is both the neck and the head), a head of Chinese cabbage (the body) and green sweet pepper to form the breast and beak of our bird. All parts are attached with toothpicks. For eyes, you can use anything - from beads to the heads of ordinary matches. To create a beautiful fairy-tale craft from vegetables, you can take any material. Pumpkin, zucchini or watermelon will be the perfect solution. From them, you can make almost any masterpiece - from Cinderella's carriage hurrying to the ball to her shoes and chic flowers.If you don't know what and how to do,Involve your children in the creative process.
