Greetings to all guests and regular readers of the blog. Recently, I touched on the issue of manufacturing for various competitions and exhibitions in kindergarten and school. I realized that this issue is very relevant, so I decided not to stop and devote a couple more articles on this topic.

However, today we will no longer create from an orange vegetable, but from natural materials, that is, from what can be found in the world around us. Most often for children's creativity they use moss, bark, acorns, leaves, flowers, chestnuts, dry twigs, mushrooms, etc., that is, all plant elements. Of the mineral, shells, sand, shells, stones are well suited.

We will needlework on a specific topic, and on which one, I think you can already guess. Of course, all products should be close to the autumn theme, because I bring the Autumn Festival to all preschool and school institutions.

Do not forget that in addition to organizing all kinds of competitions, matinees are always arranged. Therefore, it's great if you and your child not only work with your hands together, but also memorize a couple. But let's not deviate from the topic and proceed to the selection and creation of crafts.

And here is the first piece. The so-called autumn in the forest. Take a piece of cardboard and cut a circle out of it. Decorate (glue) the imaginary earth with leaves, berries. The house can be built from sticks or paper. In the role of trees, sprigs of a Christmas tree or pine tree work well. Also use log cabins from dried thick branches. Don't forget the stones. Well, plasticine will always help you.

But what kind of house can be made from twigs and colorful autumn leaves. Near the hut, you can settle some fairy-tale hero or forest animal.

Another variation of a house made of cereals and various natural materials. Looks very nice and bright!

Let your children receive their first diplomas and awards. All for now, for now.

Every autumn kindergartens announce contests for the best autumn crafts. Usually, nature itself suggests ideas for implementation: curved snags can be easily imagined as snakes and dragons, any men and animals can be made from acorns, chestnuts and cones, plots for applications suggest themselves from leaves. But if you have no time to fantasize, but you want to make an autumn craft for kindergarten with your child with your own hands, Active Mom tried for you and created a selection of interesting ideas.

Crafts from acorns and chestnuts

Perhaps the most popular natural autumn material is acorns and chestnuts, which are in abundance in every park at this time, I don’t want to take them. And we want to! And we return from a walk, carrying packages with these treasures in our hands.

Acorns and chestnuts make excellent topiary. To do this decorative tree, crumple the paper, forming a ball out of it, wrap it with thread and paste over with white napkins / paper towels. The "trunk" of the tree will be a strong, even branch, which must be wrapped with twine, ribbon or corrugated paper. Any container can be used as a pot, the main thing is that the tree stands firmly in it.

But, of course, most of all, children love to make little men, animals and birds out of acorns and chestnuts, because this a great opportunity seamlessly transform creativity into play.

These charming owls are obtained from chestnut, acorn caps, paws cut out of felt, wings, beak and glued puppet eyes.

Matches (toothpicks), plasticine, maple and ash fruits (for wings, ears, tails) are also required as additional material. Such autumn crafts for kindergarten it is easy and simple to perform even with a three-year-old child:

But not just a craft, but a real composition.

Overdoor wreaths of chestnuts and acorns look great. If the little animals seem too “childish” to you and with a preschooler from senior group I want to make not a toy, but an element of decor - this is your option. The basis of the wreath is an intertwined vine. For fastening acorns and chestnuts, Moment glue or liquid nails are used.

Candlesticks made using natural materials look stylish. Making them is very easy.

Crafts from cones

Cones are the second most popular natural material in autumn. From the cones, spectacular baskets and vases are obtained that can be filled with autumn gifts of nature: apples, grapes, mushrooms, twigs with mountain ash, wild rose, sea buckthorn. To make a vase, you will need wire, fishing line, pliers.

And look how charming flowers are obtained from cones if they are painted! Admit it, you did not immediately guess that these were cones?

Well, where would a kindergarten be without a variety of bumpy animals and birds.

Autumn crafts from vegetables and fruits

In creating compositions for kindergarten, you can actively use vegetables and fruits that autumn is rich in.

The most popular vegetable for making crafts is, of course, pumpkin. From it you can make a vase for flowers or autumn leaves, a basket for vegetables.

And you can use it as a blank for creating an animal or a bird ...

... or even such a madam.

From a pumpkin, you can build such a ship:

Apples, potatoes, zucchini will be an excellent material for crafts:

Applications from autumn leaves and natural materials

Early autumn is a beautiful time - the time when the trees change their outfit and prepare to part with it until spring. At this time of the year it is nice to take a walk in the park or in the garden, to rustle the fallen leaves. Autumn fascinates both children and adults, and it’s hard to resist collecting a bouquet of colorful leaves, or picking up fir cone, or maybe a bizarrely shaped driftwood. But all this - and leaves, and cones, and snags, and chestnuts, and acorns - is an excellent material for creating amazing crafts: beautiful applications or figurines fairytale heroes, elegant decorations and gifts to friends and relatives. Do not miss this time, collect more different leaves: large and small, yellow, red and green.
We would like to introduce you to applique works made from dry natural materials: tree leaves, grass, flowers, seeds (ash lionfish), poplar fluff (cotton wool, fluffs - dandelion seeds), straw, shells, pebbles, cereals, eggshell etc.

Classes with appliqué from natural material help to develop in children a love for nature, to cultivate a caring attitude towards it. Creating a picture, children compare natural objects with their images, learn to see the depth of nature. Application classes develop creative imagination in children, the ability to see in a pile of dry leaves unusual images. Children develop a sense of aesthetics, rhythm, color, the ability to work accurately and accurately. In their compositions, children express their inner world they create by creating their own works of art.

Collection of natural material

The more diverse the material you and your children collect, the more creative and interesting your work will turn out. You can collect plants at any opportunity: in the yard, on a walk through the forest, a trip to the country, etc.

Autumn is a wonderful time! On the street beauty, golden leaves, autumn flowers, pot-bellied, plump pumpkins and squash, fragrant apples ripened in the beds and gardens. There are a lot of mushrooms, chestnuts, spruce and pine cones in parks and forests. Harvested sunflower seeds, peas, beans. And all this charming and autumn-like fragrant beauty and generosity of nature can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also by making wonderful crafts from natural materials with your own hands.

Everything that autumn gives us can be used in creativity. Such crafts are always needed in kindergartens and schools. Teachers organize fairs and exhibitions where toddlers and older children can boast of what they and their parents or themselves have created from what nature has prepared for us.

Any ordinary cone, leaf, or even a pumpkin or acorn can be turned into an unusual creature endowed with character or a beautiful composition. One has only to put a little imagination and quite a bit of effort and time, as you can see the magical transformation and the birth of a small creation. Let's look at how it is possible to create from all that is in the beds and in the forest unique crafts from natural materials with their own hands to a school or kindergarten group.

Usually, bouquets or any works of pumpkin look very bright and stylish, in autumn they look beautiful. This is a bright vegetable that allows you to unfold your imagination. He can turn into a mushroom, and into a forester, and into an owl, and into a flowerpot for a bouquet. Let's take a look at a few options step by step.

Pumpkin spider house

2. We stick pins with round heads around the perimeter of the resulting window and pull a mesh of jute rope over them.
3. We make a pouch. We glue 2 chestnuts, make eyes from plasticine for him and glue 8 paws from straws.

"Cornucopia of fruits and vegetables"

You can make a whole family of such caterpillars.

Potato hedgehogs

3. We paint the nose with black paint.
4. We stick toothpicks as needles. You can plant a small apple or leaf or fungus on the needles.

For such crafts, you can use zucchini, cabbage, carrots, apples. What can be done with all this rich harvest. The following are a few photos of do-it-yourself crafts made from natural materials for a kindergarten or school. You can try to make something similar or come up with variations.

We create masterpieces for the school competition

In many schools at the beginning of each school year hold competitions and exhibitions. Often the task for such events is to create a composition, a bouquet of what can be found in the fall. First-graders are especially responsible for these competitions.

We offer several ideas for crafts made from natural materials, which you can simply quickly and beautifully make with your own hands in grades 1 and 2. They are pretty simple. Some first-graders and second-graders will cope without the help of their mothers, but for more difficult masterpieces, the help of parents is needed.

landscapes

They like to bring landscapes or scenes with the participation of any characters from cones, acorns, chestnuts, twigs and roots to school, and even to kindergarten. It is very interesting to make them yourself and imagine how ordinary twigs and cones come to life and begin to live a new, magical life.

Autumn bouquets

Classics of the genre - autumn bouquets from foliage, dried flowers, branches in beautiful variations and in an interesting design.

As a container for a bouquet, you can use a beautiful bright pumpkin and fill it with dried flowers, twigs and leaves. The pumpkin will need to be prepared:

• cut off the crown;
• clean out the seeds;
• blot the inside of the pumpkin with a paper towel.

Now you can fill it with a beautiful composition to your taste.

You can make roses from maple leaves. How to do it:

1. For one rose, you need several (6-7) maple leaves.
2. The first sheet is folded in half and tightly twisted into a tube.
3. Next, fold the second sheet in half and wrap it around the first twisted sheet, but press it tightly only at the base, and leave the top free.
4. We wrap the third sheet folded in half around the second, covering the joints.
5. So we twist all the prepared leaves into a rose. We fix the thread at the base.

We make several of these buds and collect them in beautiful bouquet. You can supplement it with other leaves or collect a whole basket of autumn roses.

Topiary

A very interesting kind of bouquet or tree that will be in a pot. Topiaries are made from the most different materials. Let's see how to make it from natural material in the fall. Let's prepare everything you need:

• rather plump twig (for the trunk);
• a foam ball or a newspaper crumpled into a ball, wrapped in threads;
• any natural material: moss, leaves, chestnuts, cones, acorns, dried flowers;
• gypsum;
• hot glue gun.

Let's get to work:

1. We put the ball on the barrel, fix it with glue.
2. Dilute gypsum with water to the consistency of very thick sour cream.
3. We put plaster in the pot and insert the trunk. Gypsum dries quickly, so you don't have to wait long for it to dry.
4. We fill the pot around the trunk with moss and any material that is.
5. We glue the ball with hot glue with leaves, dried flowers, cones, acorns and other natural material.

Topiary is ready. Here you can give free rein to your imagination and make very interesting compositions. These are the amazing things you can send to the competition of crafts made from natural materials with your own hands from grade 1 or even from older children.

We decorate the home

You can quickly and beautifully decorate a house or cottage in the fall with your own hands by creating simple crafts from natural materials.

autumn lanterns

On a dank and damp autumn evening, you really want to wrap yourself in a blanket, sit on a cozy soft sofa and dream. A suitable atmosphere will help to create candles or lanterns, which, by the way, can be made with your own hands using maple leaves or any other trees. Let's see how we can do this. First, let's prepare everything you need:

• autumn beautiful leaves, previously dried according to all the rules (more on this later in the article);
• transparent glass jars;
• PVA glue and a brush (you need to take it wider);
• decorative candles. You can use conventional or electronic batteries.

We begin the process of creating candlesticks:

1. Gently coat the leaves with glue on one side.
2. In a chaotic manner, stick them on the outer surface of the can. After all the leaves are glued to the jar, you need to smear them on top again with a thin layer of glue. Let dry well.
3. The neck of the jar can be decorated with a tourniquet or decorative rope.
4. Now we put a candle inside, light it and enjoy the comfort.

Autumn panel on the wall

We offer to disassemble 2 options for panels with which you can decorate a room in the fall. The first option is a picture of autumn leaves with a metallic sheen effect.

For the picture you need:

• the foundation. It can be a small canvas or a base from a photo frame;
• a few autumn leaves (prepared and well dried;
• PVA glue;
• putty;
• black acrylic paint;
• gold or silver acrylic paint;
• wide brush and sponge.

Let's get to work:

1. We apply a thin layer of putty on the base. Further, all work must be done quickly, until the putty has dried.
2. On top of the putty, lay the leaves smeared with PVA glue as you wish. It is necessary to press them quite a bit into the putty layer.
3. With a crumpled piece of paper or another piece of paper, we blot a layer of putty in some places, where the leaves are not placed, to give it structure.
4. Now let it dry well. Since the layer of putty is small, the work will dry quickly.
5. Now cover the work with black paint. Let's dry.
6. Now we dip a dry sponge into gold or silver paint, remove the excess and lightly coat the whole work to highlight the relief and give the effect of a metallic sheen.

This panel will look like it is an imprint of leaves on a metal surface. The finished panel will adequately decorate your interior.

The second version of the panel is a picture of dried flowers and twigs

For her, we will prepare:

• several branches different lengths and forms;
• rope or thick thread for knitting;
• dried flowers, dried leaves;
• scissors.

Let's start painting:

1. You need to choose what shape the panel will be. It can be square or triangular.
2. We fold the branches into the desired shape. Tightly wrap the joints with thread, cut the ends of the thread and hide.
3. Carefully wind the rope or thread over the entire width of the resulting frame, making a grid.
4. We lay blades of grass, leaves and dried flowers in the resulting thread mesh.
5. After everything is ready, the panel can be sprinkled with varnish.

Miracle in a jar

Crafts made from natural materials may well fit in a jar and you can do it yourself quickly and beautifully in order to decorate a house or cottage and bring a touch of autumn mood to the interior.

Here's how it's done. Let's prepare everything you need:

• transparent glass jar with a lid. The jar can be of any shape;
• beautiful branch. Its height should be equal to the height of the can;
• small dried leaves or artificial leaves made of paper, plastic or felt;
• glue ( better fit thermal gun).

Begin:

1. We glue the leaves on the branch in any order and in any place.
2. At the bottom of the jar, we fix the top of the branch with hot glue.
3. Apply hot glue to the tip of the branch and carefully close the jar with a lid.
4. Turn the jar upside down and put it on the lid.
