Autumn is the time of ripening harvests. And, of course, it is the beginning of the school year. After September 1, the next school holiday is the Fall Festival. Mothers of schoolchildren and preschoolers are racking their brains, what to surprise teachers and educators?

In fact, the options for products from the gifts of autumn are so diverse that sometimes you do not know what to choose. This article offers options for both schoolchildren and preschoolers.

There is nothing complicated about making crafts out of fruits and vegetables on your own. The basic principle, it is to interlock the parts with each other using toothpicks, similar to the assembly of a construction set.

Bouquet of vegetables

Vegetables can make a very beautiful bouquet. You just need to take the initiative and trust the flight of fancy.

Daisies

Chamomile bouquet of gifts of autumn is easy to make, and looks very beautiful. For the work prepare:

• Several green radishes or radish Daikon (you can radish).
• Raw carrot.
• A larger fruit for the base(patisson, pumpkin, broccoli).
• Wooden skewers.

Follow these steps to make the bouquet:

• Peel the radish and cut into circles, about 5 millimeters wide. Using a knife, carefully cut out the petals, leaving the middle untouched. According to this algorithm, create the required number of daisies. Peel the carrot, cut its sides to a diameter to make the middle for the daisy.
• Cut the carrot the same way across, 2 millimeters wide. Now string the flower on a skewer, then the middle. If you have large daisies, instead of skewers, use orange sticks, which are used for manicures.
• Choose an option for the stand. For example, if you opted for a pâtisson, cut it in half, stick daisy sticks in the half without the tail. Disguise the space between the sticks with leaves or carrot tops. Any schoolboy can make such a bouquet.

Bouquet "All for tasty borscht".

You can assemble this bouquet with your child for kindergarten, and he will be able to direct the whole process himself. You need:

• Cabbage.
• Beets, potatoes.
• Onion, garlic.
• Carrots.
• Beet.
• Wooden skewers.
• Scotch tape and scissors.
• Decorative ribbon.
• Stapler.
• Packing paper.

When selecting fruit, take only beautiful, undamaged root vegetables. Wash and dry the fruits thoroughly. Peel the onion and garlic from the husk. Carrots are better to choose long, with intact tail. Cabbage is better to choose a smaller diameter.

When the components are ready, put them on wooden skewers. The beets can be put on two sticks at once, and the cabbage is better on four, for proper balance. Next, assemble the bouquet. The center will undoubtedly be the cabbage.

On the sides arrange the beets and fasten, for reliability, with scotch tape. Alternating root vegetables, add carrots and potatoes to the bouquet. Periodically fix the sticks with tape, this will not allow the bouquet to disintegrate. Now add onions and garlic to the composition.

The main part of the bouquet is ready, now it remains to wrap the bouquet. To do this, wrap the bouquet in wrapping paper and fasten the stem tightly. You can add sprigs of dill or feathers of green onions to it.

Using a stapler, attach decorative red bows to the paper. According to the same scheme, you can assemble a bouquet of fruit. This will be an original, delicious and, most importantly, useful gift.

"Mushroom meadow".

For the composition "Mushroom meadow" you will need:

• Four tubers of potatoes.
• One tomato (with a thick skin).
• Dried leaves.
• Toothpaste.

The most difficult thing about making this composition is to make mushrooms out of potatoes:

• Take the tuber in your hand and visually divide it into a cap and a stem. Now gently gently cut a line, separating the cap, but not reaching the middle.
• Now cut out the stem, the mushroom should come out in one piece. You have the white part and the brown cap, cut the leg flat, for stability. Raw potatoes turn black very quickly in the air, so boil the cut mushrooms a bit. In this form, the potatoes will retain their color.
• In the same way, make two more mushrooms. Cut the tomato in half, take out the soft center. Form a column from the remaining tuber and put the tomato half on it.
• Using toothpaste, mark white dots on the tomato. You get a fly swatter. On a tray or flat plate, arrange the leaves and herbs. You can add dried sprigs.
• On one side, place three mushrooms from the potatoes, on the other side place the flycatcher. On the mushroom, you can fix a decorative ladybug or dragonfly. Mushroom meadow is ready.

Cucumber Arts and Crafts

Cucumbers can be used to make different compositions. They can be both complex and simple.

Cactus

Next, break the remaining toothpicks in half and stick them into the cucumbers with the point facing outward. The needles are ready. It only remains to decorate the soil in the pot with beautiful stones.

Shark

Cucumbers can be used to create such exotic fish as a shark. You will need two cucumbers, carrots and a sharp knife:

• On the side of the tail, using a knife, cut a triangular piece to make a mouth. Don't make the angle of the cut too large, the angle should be about 45 degrees. On both sides of the fish torso mark the gills with longitudinal strips, two or three strips each.
• On the back, make two cuts: one in the middle, one in the tail. Make the same incisions on the sides. From the second cucumber cut some strips of skin. Insert the strips into the back and cut at right angles. Make the main fin bigger and the tail fin smaller.
• Then insert the side fins, but do not make them sharp, leave them rounded. At the opposite end of the cucumber, where the flower was, make an incision, and insert the tail fin. On the muzzle, just above the gills, cut two holes for the eyes.
• From the carrot cut two circles and insert them into the holes for the eyes. Then cut off the carrot layer and insert it into the mouth. For a complete composition, fix the shark with toothpicks to half of a pâtisson or zucchini.
• Cut strips of carrot and cucumber from the remnants of the carrot and cucumber in the form of seaweed and fix it on the pattissant. You get a shark on the seabed.
