FRUIT CRAFTS

And now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures.
I will show you the easiest crafts to make with your own hands from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, aruboza peels and melon fruits. Here are some cute, childish crafts made from kiwi. To create them, you need to select unripe hard fruits. The slices of the slices should be blotted with a paper napkin so that the juice does not bleed through.

But crafts from an apple and a pear - if you use one whole fruit and a thin slice of a second fruit, you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears and face. And from an apple cutting you can make a trunk for an elephant. Delicious and fun crafts that you can make with your kids and then eat.

And here are crafts made from juicy pears. To create such birds, we choose harder varieties.

And to prevent the cut area without the peel from darkening, you need to lubricate it with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

And if you are making a craft from a pear, without the peel, and even with finely chopped feathers (as in the photo of the birds below), then it is better to protect such a craft so that it does not darken, and so that the “feathers” do not fall out and wrinkle. We use gelatin for protection. Pour gelatin powder with water. When it swells, heat it until it dissolves (but do not bring it to a boil!!!).

And we grease our entire craft with this warm gelatin syrup. It will become shiny and will look fresh for a long time, nothing will darken or wither. The only important thing is that we make the gelatin solution for such a lubricant 2 times thicker than jelly. That is, we read the instructions on the package and pour 2 times more powder into 2 times less water.

Crafts from bright red apples are made using exactly the same principle. We treat the white sections with lemon juice (so as not to turn black) and can also be greased with gelatin syrup (so as not to wilt or wrinkle).

You can make a crab craft from apple slices - also paint it in beet juice so that it is red, or grease it with lemon juice so that it remains white (does not rust).

You can make a hummingbird from a green apple. A great little fruit craft for kids.

You can make pots with flowers from the tops of large apples - cut the bald spots of the petals into them - you will get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Of course you need to make minions out of bananas. This is clear to everyone. Bananas are yellow, so are minions. You can dress them in overalls made of cucumbers. You can make a whole family for an exhibition in a school or kindergarten.

You can make an octopus out of a banana. Add citrus fish and red pepper crab to it (see photo below in this article). And make a whole underwater kingdom out of vegetables and fruits.

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

Here's an idea for dachshund puppies - with skinned ears and green tails. The eyes are cut out and the pupils are inserted from black paper.

Children will surely love making animals out of vegetables and fruits.

For the “Giraffe” craft, we will need toothpicks, a pear and young dense tomatoes (you can use small plums or gooseberries). Insert toothpicks into the pear. We will need four toothpicks from the bottom - these are the legs. For the long neck of the giraffe, we will need to insert either a longer stick or use two toothpicks.

Hedgehog

A live animal is a prickly toy. You can't really play with him.

But making a hedgehog together with your baby, which you can then eat (from grapes and pears), will not cause any difficulties. And the child will not mind; he will happily agree to take part in joint creativity.

To make such an edible toy, just follow simple steps:

• We decorate a large plate with a forest landscape (we use lettuce leaves for this);
• Cut a large juicy pear in half;
• Place it cut side down on a plate;
• We use halves of toothpicks to create spines for the hedgehog;
• We put a grape on top of each thorn;
• For the eyes and nose we use dark berries (elderberry or chokeberry are suitable)

The hedgehog is ready. You can play with them to your heart's content, and then eat them!

Crafts from autumn vegetables for children
