You can captivate and interest a child by making a variety of crafts from natural materials. We are talking not only about branches and cones, but also about various vegetables and fruits. For example, many funny characters can be crafted from fresh onions.

Very cute and cute animals are obtained from onions. Children love to make such figurines. Many of them are easy and quick to make, so even the smallest craftsmen can make them. Often, onion crafts are modeled for kindergarten, various competitions and exhibitions (including school ones). Consider what kind of animals can be made from a vegetable.

Fresh onions can be used to make an adorable hedgehog. It will serve as an original autumn craft. There are many ways to make such a forest dweller. Let's consider one of the simplest options.

• You need to take a medium-sized onion. It should not be peeled off, the husk should remain in place.
• 4 small oblong yellow parts need to be fashioned from plasticine. These will be the legs of the animal. They are stuck to the "tummy".
• Also, from plasticine of a beige or yellowish shade, you will need to sculpt the muzzle of a hedgehog. To do this, you need to roll a medium-sized ball. To get an oblong nose, a small part of this blank will need to be gradually pulled forward.
• The finished face is glued to the front of the bulb. Plasticine needs to be thoroughly distributed over the surface of the vegetable, without damaging the husk.
• On the face, you need to shape the eyes using white and black plasticine balls.
• A spout is made from a small black ball and attached to the appropriate place.
• Needles for such a hedgehog can be made using toothpicks. They need to be stuck in the back.
• It is worth decorating such a cute craft with the help of small berries strung on toothpick needles sticking out of the hedgehog's back.

At this stage, the original homemade product will be ready.

From a "tearful" vegetable there is the possibility of making not only a hedgehog, but also a beautiful squirrel. To do this, you need to prepare a bow, as well as chenille wire and plasticine or ready-made plastic eyes for dolls and plush toys.

Consider how to make an elegant squirrel out of the listed components.

• You need to take a couple of medium or large onions. They are fastened together. To do this, you can use toothpicks or skewers. You do not need to remove the husk.
• Further, 5 parts in the form of elongated loops should be made from chenille wire of a brown or red hue. The first pair will be used as the hind legs. These elements should be the longest as they will also act as a foundation for the stability of the craft.
• Another pair of eyelets should be installed on the sides from the top - these will be the front legs. The last pair with pointed tips are the ears. They need to be fixed on the head.
• The tail can be formed from a large piece of husk. Eyes should be attached to the face. The spine will serve as the nose. As a decor, you can wrap a green chenille wire around the squirrel's neck, depicting a cute scarf.

Let's find out from which components you can make a cat:

• The triangles are placed in the grooves. The finished head is strung on a toothpick inserted into a half of an onion. From toothpicks, you can make a lush mustache on a cat's face. As the front legs, you need to fix semicircular carrot parts.

An onion chanterelle can be made in the same way as a cat. There will be only a few distinctive features.

• The chanterelle does not need to make a long and lush mustache from toothpicks.
• It is necessary to form an elegant tail for this forest dweller. As this part, you can use an onion peel (as is the case with a squirrel) or a twisting twig.
• For a chanterelle, you should cut out triangular ears of a greater height than in the case of a cat.

If the child wishes, you can resort to adding different decorations.

• Vegetables are connected to each other by means of toothpicks.
• Areas with connections are decorated with chenille wire detail.
• You can also make caterpillar legs and whiskers from chenille wire.
• It is necessary to arrange the muzzle with a peephole and a nose. Eyes can be bought ready-made in a store, and a black bead, peppercorns or a plasticine ball can be used as a nose.

After that, soil is poured into the container and proceeds to making the head of a character from a fairy tale.
• Eyes, nose and mouth, made of plasticine mass, need to be glued to the head of Cipollino from an onion. A chestnut can also act as a nose.
• All plasticine components must be firmly but carefully adhered to the surface of the bulb. It is important not to damage the husk.
• The finished part can be placed in a jar containing the filled soil. This will be the last stage in making the fairytale hero from the bow.

Bow crafts for school and kindergarten can be very different. Attractive and creative products are obtained from a combination of onions and heads of garlic, potatoes, carrots and other vegetables. Children can make very beautiful characters and animals for a holiday or an exhibition on the theme of autumn. It is possible to choose a suitable scheme for a young master with any level of knowledge and skills.
