Recommendations for Improving Collaboration
- When learning how to applique vegetables, it is important to follow each step consistently.
- It’s worth preparing all the required materials and templates in time so that you don’t have to be distracted by collecting what you need later.
- At the time of preparatory work, it is of considerable importance to familiarize children with works of art, as well as demonstrate drawings and photos of vegetable appliqués.
- With children, conducting classes in the form of a game is more suitable, since this way the children’s attention is drawn to what is happening and thereby develops emotional responsiveness.
- Adults should create a small plan so as not to lose track of the sequence of actions. Older children can follow the steps themselves.
- It is worth giving young creators more independent work so that they can express their imagination and learn how to realize it.
- During independent work, an adult is obliged to help the children, especially those who are not doing well.
- Upon completion of all the work, it is advisable to hold a collective exhibition, when everyone can look at someone else’s work and thus learn to enjoy the results of their own and other people’s work.
- In addition to individual work, the proposed ideas can also be implemented in group work, when everyone cuts out their own vegetable and glues it onto a large common base in the form of a plate, pan or cup.
- This approach is suitable for many applications. Especially on the topic of fruits.
Cabbage
If you cut out green round paper blanks of different sizes and stick them one at a time on top of each other, you will get cabbage like this.
In general, it must be said that when creating voluminous vegetables and fruits, you can use foil, crumpled newspaper, all kinds of cones and foam balls as a base and simply cover them with thin crepe paper for children's creativity.
Fruit papier-mâché: master class from soaked paper
The following MK is suitable for making all types of fruits from papier-mâché, the main thing is to know their natural size and remember the skills of modeling from plasticine.
To make fruits similar to natural ones you will need:
- Medium weight white paper;
- Water;
- Pelvis;
- Twigs;
- Threads;
- Brushes;
- Paints;
- Wallpaper glue or PVA;
- Putty;
- Varnish.
First, you need to finely tear the paper and soak it in hot water in a basin for a day. Several times during this time it is necessary to knead the paper in water. After 24 hours, boil the resulting mass, carefully drain the water and squeeze out the paper. Add crushed chalk and glue to the resulting mass. Stir until a homogeneous dough is formed.
The next stage is the formation of fruits, as if we were making cutlets and meatballs, giving them the desired shape. While the mass has not yet hardened, insert cuttings from twigs or threads and wire into the grapes. After the fruity splendor has dried, all parts must be primed with putty and left to dry again.
Whatever manufacturing technique you choose, the result will be pleasing to the eye.
Next, the most entertaining part of this MK is coloring the individual elements of the fruit set. Since all types must match their natural counterparts, the paint must be selected to match. Grapes can be blue and green, apples and pears can have a tint, a reddened side, peaches are also not made of one color. All items are painted and dried. For greater durability, you should coat them with colorless varnish and start collecting them in a basket or on a dish. Grapes with wire cuttings should be screwed to one branch to form a bunch.
With papier-mâché fruits that have a lumpy skin, you should proceed as stated in the first MK to prepare an exact copy of oranges and lemons.
Whatever technique is chosen, home-made decor will please the eye, and the time spent on crafts will bring peace and tranquility.

Carrot gnome
To make it you will need:
- 1 medium sized carrot;
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- matches or toothpicks;
- markers (or better yet paints) of different colors;
1. First, cut out all the parts for the gnome. Cut off the tip. This will be a gnome's hat. Cut a couple of rings from the top. These will be your palms. Now cut 3 rings from the bottom of the carrot. These will be blanks for the legs and head. You will be left with the middle part of the carrot - the future body.
2. Now start connecting all parts of the body. Insert two toothpicks (or matches) parallel to each other into the lower part of the body blank. Pin blanks for legs onto their ends. Now make toothpick hands and attach the palms to them. Fingers can be made from pieces of toothpick.
3. Attach the neck to the upper part of the body (this, of course, will also be a toothpick), placing the head on it. And attach a cap from the tip of a carrot to your head (you can also do this with a match).
