Here comes the golden autumn! Warm sunny days are calling to go for a walk in a park or forest. And at the same time, you can pick up very beautiful leaves, because the time for crafts for kindergarten will soon begin!

What do you think yours will be? Make a beautiful bright peacock out of leaves!

The creation process is simple and interesting. Take care of it with your child and you will have an interesting evening!

Creativity Toolkit

You will collect all the materials for a peacock from leaves during a walk, on the way from school or kindergarten, as well as in a public garden near your house. Leaves are needed - maple, birch - it doesn't matter! The main requirement is not too large and very bright!

In addition, you will need:

Colored cardboard;
Velvet cardboard in black or dark green;
A piece of thick (can be corrugated) cardboard;
Glue gun;
Plasticine.

Take any tools and materials that your imagination has enough for, then create!

If you decide to skeletonize the leaves, then prepare soda and an old toothbrush.

To make your panel the most original and beautiful, make skeletons out of leaves and brightly color them. Doing this is quite simple, and the result is surprising.

We present to your attention 2 methods of skeletonizing autumn leaves.

With the first option, the lesson will not be very pleasant, and work will need to be started at least 3 weeks before the creation of the craft. If you are ready for this, then try it.

For this method, a container is taken, foliage is laid in it, warm water is poured and everything is closed with a lid. In a warm place, such leaves quickly begin to rot. In this case, the pulp of the leaf is more likely to be destroyed, and this process concerns the hard veins last.

After 3 weeks, we need to remember our leaves. Clean water is poured into the basin and raw materials are laid out there. Very carefully it is necessary to clean off the rot, trying not to damage the veins. Everything superfluous that is not removed by hand, you should try to remove it with a toothbrush. Skeletonized leaves are stacked under oppression and dried.

As you can see, it's not a very pleasant experience. Again, in our lives it is not always possible to prepare in advance, so there is another method - much faster!

In the second option, you need to boil the leaves in a soda solution.

To do this, 200 grams of washing soda powder is dissolved in 600 ml of warm water. Prepared leaves are immersed in the mixture, boiled for an hour and a half at a low level of fire.

After a while, this liquid is poured out, and clean water is poured into the pan and cooking continues for about 30 minutes.

Use a fork to check the condition of the sheet. We finish when the separation of the pulp from the veins becomes free.

Now we take out the leaves and gently, without pressing, wipe them. Some parts may not separate, in which case boil the raw material again. Remove from the "broth" carefully, because the leaves are very fragile and can collapse! Dry as in the first option.

Before work, the skeletons of the leaves can be ironed, and then the dye can be applied - gouache, dyes for eggs, watercolor, spray paint. Bright colors are welcome, because a peacock of leaves cannot be dull!

You can bleach them with the usual "Whiteness".

Do-it-yourself peacock from leaves

To create a bright panel, prepare a sheet of light-colored cardboard, velvet cardboard, scissors and leaves.

On the cardboard in the middle, draw a semicircle - this will be a sketch of the tail. Squeeze out the glue along the largest arc and very quickly, without letting the glue harden, lay out the leaves.

In order for the work to be fun, first sort all the leaves by size and shade.

Let the first row be from ordinary leaves, but the second and all subsequent ones can be laid out from skeletonized ones.

After the entire surface of the tail is filled in, cut out the silhouette of a bird from black velvet cardboard and stick it on top of the leaves.

Peacock from maple leaves and plasticine

It is even easier to make such a bird, you just need to remember the modeling lessons! It's even better if your little one helps you make the body, neck and head.

To do this, you need to take blue plasticine and knead it, and then complete the desired shape.

For the tail, collect maple leaves - the brightest and most beautiful. But all fallen leaves have an unpleasant feature - they dry out and warp, losing their delicious appearance. To prevent this from happening in your case, prepare them - canned in glycerin or coated with wax.

Stick a few leaves into the tail part of the plasticine body so that they peek out from one another. For the head, you can make a crest from a twig.

Create legs from sticks and acorn caps.

Cut out a small stand from thick cardboard and paint it green or stick green paper on it. Glue a peacock of leaves on it.

That's all! The child is delighted - because his craft will be amazing!

If you don’t know what to do with your child in rainy weather, try doing it with him. Earlier we talked about how, now you can use the resulting material for your crafts. We have collected 25 ideas for you on how to make do-it-yourself autumn leaf appliqués.

Let the children choose the leaves for the applications themselves. They should be of different sizes: larger leaves can be used for the body, and small ones can be used to make, for example, large ears for animals.

To make the legs, you can use small twigs or narrow leaves, whichever you and your child prefer.

Applications from autumn leaves for children: animals

Making animals from leaves with your own hands is one pleasure. Such leaf applications can be done both on a blank sheet and on a finished drawing. For example, before you start making a fox, draw a forest for it, a lion for the Sahara desert, an elephant for the jungle, a fish for the sea.

Such crafts will be very useful in kindergarten, when kids study domestic and wild animals.

Pictures of autumn leaves: crafts for children

To make pictures of autumn leaves with children, you will need, in addition to the leaves themselves, glue and paper, a little imagination. If there is no time to come up with a plot, take one of the autumn-themed coloring pages and use it as a base.

Leaf Painting: Craft for Kids

Sunny day off. In the morning, my daughter and I took a walk on the street, collected an armful of maple, rowan and ash leaves, and distributed a dozen fresh chestnuts with a shiny shell into our pockets.

Upon arrival home, some of the leaves were spread between the pages of magazines. These are stocks for the winter. Part - put in a glass, it turned out something like a small bouquet.

From the remaining leaves, chestnuts and plasticine, today we will make a peacock - a bird with a huge fan-shaped tail.

To begin with, we list all the materials and tools that will be useful for working on crafts:

- a bunch of rowan,
- autumn leaves of different shapes, colors and sizes,
- two chestnuts
- plasticine,
- PVA glue.

Let's start with the design of the tail of the craft. In its manufacture will have to use PVA. While the part is drying, we will make the rest of the bird's body.

So, choose a clean maple leaf without unkempt rust and damage. This is the first layer of our tiered tail.

The decor of the peacock tail does not end there. It is necessary to pick up 5 pieces of small green leaves, for example, from a wild rose or chestnut. We glue these details on top of the leaves of wild grapes.

This could be the end of the feather decoration, but we decided to add the final touch - rowan berries. They will, of course, take the longest to dry.

Putting the tail aside, we are engaged in the chestnut head of a peacock. We sculpt plasticine eyes and a huge red beak for the bird. We attach a tuft of twigs from above to the top of the head. In our herbarium collection there were several blue flowers that became the decoration of the tuft.

We attach the head to the chestnut body of the craft using a long plasticine neck. We did not have enough blue plasticine. When designing this part of the body, it is advisable to use not green, but blue.

Two thin brown tubes with three fingers at the ends are the legs of a peacock. Of course, such limbs will not support the weight of the chestnut body and head, so we will seat the bird on a horizontal surface.

Therefore, let's make funny little animals and fairy-tale characters from dry leaves together.
There is no need to look for another such material for application from leaves: bright, of various shapes and sizes, with interesting overflows of colors.

Autumn leaves - the material is not only cheap and affordable, it just falls on your head and spreads like a carpet under your feet. Do not be lazy! Choose and create!

Making applications from leaves

For an application of autumn leaves, you will definitely need paper and glue. To achieve the desired result, change the shape of the leaves with scissors. Remember, you can only use dried leaves(usually they are dried between the pages of books, or with an iron, covered with paper on top).

The next step is to come up with a picture. With this, I think there will be no problems. From the leaves you can make fairy-tale heroes, animals, various landscapes, or just a beautiful ornament.

What are the applications

When making applications from leaves, you can use various techniques, giving the crafts uniqueness and originality. I will tell You about several of these techniques.
