For an exhibition in a kindergarten or school, you can make the most interesting crafts from vegetables and fruits with your own hands. The task will not be too difficult if you use any of the best master classes with a detailed description of the process and step by step photos.

Banana lion with broccoli and tomato

A simple and original craft can be made from a simple combination of vegetables and fruits.

What you need:

• banana;
• broccoli;
• cherry orange;
• toothpick.

Manufacturing:

1. Layer by layer, carefully so as not to break, bend the broccoli sheets from the middle. Remove the remaining small head.
2. In the center of the open cabbage, we place the cherry tree, stringing the vegetable on a toothpick first. Use a toothpick to poke through the middle of the broccoli.
3. From the end of the banana opposite from the stalk, cut off 1/3 of the part obliquely, leaving the skin previously cut out in a circle - the tail of the lion cub.
4. We retreat a small distance from the place of the cut, cut it from below and cut it across into two parts, bend one forward - this is the foot of our beast.
5. From the side of the half-cut stalk, from the underside of the banana laid on one side, cut out two strips from the peel, without cutting them off at the base - these are the front legs of the lion cub.
6. We insert a toothpick with cabbage and cherry in the longitudinal direction into the stalk, the front legs should look out.
7. We straighten the curled tail, and the craft is ready.

Vegetable hare

It is not difficult to make cute original DIY crafts from vegetables and fruits for an exhibition in a garden or school, choosing the most interesting.

• In one of the cabbage heads (larger), insert a metal pin into the middle.
• We insert nails with halves of potatoes into the lower part of the cabbage head, we get the hind legs of the hare.
• From a head of cabbage of a smaller size, we make a head for the animal, for which we make small holes in the place of the ears, insert two young cobs of corn.
• We put the "head" on a metal pin in the first head of cabbage.
• Fasten the remaining two ears of corn at the top of the first head of cabbage with nails.

We decorate the muzzle of the vegetable hare by inserting the eyes, securing the nose and mouth cut from carrots with a toothpick. Putting the toothpicks in place, we get the hare's whiskers

• We put the second carrot into the front legs of a corn hare.

2. Insert the sharp end of each skewer into the base of each pepper. We glue two narrow sheets of stylized tulips on a leg (after cutting them out of paper). If desired, you can wrap the skewers with a narrow strip of paper smeared with glue.
3. We insert all the "flowers" into the prepared pots made of zucchini or melon. A simple and original craft is ready and can be submitted to the competition.

Santa Claus made of vegetables for the competition

One of the most interesting crafts for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten can be made with your own hands from vegetables and fruits in the form of Santa Claus.

On the free end of the toothpick we string cherry, cutting off 1/3 part

Having made holes for the eyes with a toothpick, insert the carnations

• We attach small cabbage leaves around the carrots, fix with toothpicks.
• Cut off the upper part of the desired height from the oblong pepper, put it on the resulting structure from above. We make a cut on the pepper in the place where the circumference will be equal to the circumference of the upper part of the resulting figure (so that the "cap" sits freely in place).

We attach a small piece of Chinese cabbage as a mustache, cutting it out in a suitable place

Vegetable poodle

Having chosen one of the simplest and most interesting handicrafts from vegetables and fruits - an original poodle for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten - we proceed to making it with our own hands.

What you need:

• large oblong potatoes - 1 pc.;
• cauliflower - a small head of cabbage;
• matches and toothpicks.

Manufacturing:

1. Separate the large inflorescence from the cauliflower, not cutting it too short. We also separate four approximately identical inflorescences with an elongated base - the dog's legs. We prepare a small fluffy tail in the same way.
2. Insert toothpicks (or matches) into each of the cabbage inflorescences, leave it ready.
3. We attach the head on one side of the potato, and the front legs from below.
4. From the other end of the potato, we fasten the prepared cabbage inflorescences with toothpicks, imitating the tail and hind legs.
5. With the help of matches we make out the poodle's face, breaking them by ½ the length from the side of the sulfur. We insert matches at the place of the eyes and the nose of the craft.

Vegetable locomotive with "cargo"

Following the detailed description of one of the most interesting master classes, you can make a bright handicraft from vegetables for the exhibition with your own hands and put fruits (or vegetables) there.

What you need:

• large fleshy pepper of different colors - 3 pcs.;
• long cylindrical carrots - 3 pcs.;
• long-fruited cucumbers of small diameter - 3 pcs.;
• cherry;
• decorative skewers multi-colored.

Manufacturing:

We make "wagons" from peppers, cutting off a small lateral surface from each, without affecting or removing the stalk. We remove the seeds from each pepper, leave it in readiness

• Cut part of the cucumbers and carrots into 12 circles, cut the rest of these vegetables into small thin cubes.
• On each of the multi-colored skewers, string a pair of circles - a cucumber and a carrot. We insert skewers with "wheels" on each of the peppers at the attachment point.

• We expose the "trailers" of peppers one by one (you can connect them in any simple way).
• In each "trailer" we put "cargo": cherry, cucumber and carrot cubes (you can also use fruits or berries for greater brightness).

Zucchini and pepper boat

With your own hands for an exhibition in a kindergarten, you can make a very simple, one of the most interesting handicrafts from vegetables - a vegetable marrow boat and fill it with fruits (if desired).

What you need:

• medium-sized zucchini;
• pepper in two different colors;
• knife;
• toothpicks;
• skewer.

Manufacturing:

Cut off some of the zucchini on one side, clean the pulp with a spoon

On the sides of the boat we cut out small triangular windows, a slightly higher stern part

• In each of the windows we insert the toothpicks previously broken in half with the tip outward.
• Closer to the stern, we place a skewer with a "sail" strung on it, cut from a lighter-colored pepper.

We cut out the decoration elements of the craft from red pepper: an anchor, large windows, a flag

• We fix the anchor with a half of a toothpick in the area of the stalk, large windows are at the stern, the flag is on a skewer with a sail.
• We place another flag, cut from light pepper, on the stern. A simple, spectacular craft is ready; it will take its rightful place at the exhibition.

Eggplant and Cauliflower Lamb

One of the most interesting handicrafts can be made from vegetables and fruits for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

What you need:

• eggplant;
• cauliflower;
• radish;

Manufacturing:

1. Cut off a third part from a large eggplant from the side of the stalk. On one side of the remaining fruit, cut off a small surface to give the craft more stability.
2. We cut out the lamb ears from the cut surface, make cuts and insert them in places.
3. Cut out two small thin circles from the peeled white radish, string them onto the halves of toothpicks, and place one more eggplant mug of smaller diameter on top. We fasten the resulting eyes in places, sticking them into the fruit.
4. Below from the place of the dried inflorescence, we make two perpendicular incisions - for the nose and mouth of the lamb. We insert strips cut from carrots into the resulting slots.
5. We disassemble the cauliflower into inflorescences, insert a half of a toothpick into the base of each.
6. We stick toothpicks with cabbage inflorescences all over the "body" of the lamb, except for the muzzle, placing them as tightly as possible to each other.

Fruit hedgehogs

The most interesting crafts can be made for an exhibition in a school or garden with your own hands, not only from vegetables, but also from fruits.

What you need:

• lemon juice - 2 tsp;
• black olives b / c - 2 pcs.;
• cloves - 4 pcs.;
• grape;
• toothpicks.

Manufacturing:

• We insert toothpicks into the grapes, leaving unequal free parts (large and small).
• We prepare the olives in advance, cutting off about 1/3 of each.
• In pears, we cut off the stalks with scissors (do not tear off), peel the sharp parts from the skin. So that the faces of the hedgehogs do not darken, carefully coat them with lemon juice.

• We put prepared olives on the received noses of hedgehogs (for greater reliability, they can be fixed with toothpicks).
• In place we insert carnations - the eyes of hedgehogs. For stability on one side of each pear, we make a small flat cut.

We make out the entire surface of pears not peeled from the skin by sticking the grapes on toothpicks into the pulp with a long end

We put the hedgehogs on any suitable support, for example, in a box, pouring autumn colorful leaves on the bottom

Lemon mouse

• toothpicks;
• black peppercorns - 2 pcs.

Manufacturing:

Cut off a small flat surface from one side of the lemon. We install it with the resulting stable cut on the work surface

From the cut off part, we cut out two circles of a small diameter of our choice, insert them into the prepared slots for the ears on the lemon

• On the sharp side of the fruit, we make out the muzzle of the mouse. We make small indentations with a sharp knife in place of the peephole, insert peppercorns.
• At the base of the existing "nose" we make two holes on each side. We insert pieces of parsley stalk into them.

From the remaining material from which the ears were cut, we make a tail, insert it in place into the prepared slot

Orange bear

One of the most interesting handicrafts can be made with your own hands for an exhibition of works from fruits and vegetables to school or kindergarten.

3. Continuing the design of the muzzle, we make holes for the peephole and insert the carnations.
4. On the central part of the orange, freed from the pulp, cut out the legs on top and make two cuts on the opposite side. Insert a stylized bear face into the cuts.
5. We fill the hollow part of the craft with cutting orange pulp, insert an umbrella into one of the legs - just cut out the pulp from the remaining material and insert a skewer.
