So, for a kindergarten, a small child can make a charming hedgehog out of cones with his own hands. Making such a charming craft will surely captivate the kid and will take him for a long time. To make a hedgehog, you will need:

• cones with open scales;
• high-quality plasticine;
• suitable decor, for example, artificial details, dry leaves and berries.

A child can make a cute figurine of a hedgehog according to the following simple scheme.

• First, the baby will need to take a bump and place it on the working surface so that its "tail" is directed forward... You can use a piece of thick cardboard as a base for the craft.
• At the next stage, you will need to use a plastic mass. Tear off a piece of plasticine of a white or beige shade, form a muzzle from it for a future hedgehog. When this part of the figurine is ready, it will need to be securely stuck to the base of the cone.
• Now you should prepare black plasticine... From this material it will be necessary to form small balls for the eyes, for the nose, as well as for the legs of the future funny hedgehog.
• The eyes for the animal from the cone do not need to be sculpted from plasticine. Ready-made plastic eyes will do. Such things can be purchased in specialized stores, where there is everything for creativity and sewing.
• If you take plastic eyes, they can be fixed to the bump with glue or small plasticine circles.
• If desired, the figure can be supplemented with small ears and a tongue made of plasticine mass... This step is optional.
• After completing all the listed stages of work, you can start decorating the finished craft. You can mold small berries, apples or autumn leaves from plasticine.

Another interesting craft for preschool masters is a mouse made of a long spruce cone and plasticine. It is easy to make such a character, but it turns out to be very cute.

• First you need to find a spruce cone of sufficient length in a park or forest. After that, you can start modeling the figure.
• The muzzle of the future cute rodent will need to be molded from white plasticine mass. The base of the cone will need to be slightly widened on both sides to indicate the cheeks. The nose should be made pointed, complemented by a small black ball. Immediately, you need to pinch off a little red plasticine to make a flattened tongue. The eyes are very simple: white and black circles are connected together.
• The first ready-made plasticine parts are attached to the cone. The creased edges of the cheeks will need to be neatly aligned. If there is a desire, the child can model the antennae from pine or spruce needles.
• In the next step, you will need to blind a pair of round ears... To do this, you need to make details in two colors: white and orange / pink.
• Ears stick to the place where the mouse's head is framed.
• Now from the plasticine mass it is necessary to form tubes of a curved structure. They will form the first pair of legs. The second pair of limbs will need to be made in the form of balls.
• The finished parts are neatly glued to the bumpy body. After that, the child should immediately be convinced of the stability of the craft.
• The mouse tail will turn out from a thin plasticine flagellum. It will need to be secured in the appropriate place.

Preschool kids will love the process of making a Christmas tree from cones. For such operations, it is necessary to prepare:

• several pine cones of different types and sizes;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• glue;
• scissors;
• green paint.

Let's consider step by step how to properly make beautiful Christmas trees from cones.

• Further, the cones collected and cleaned of any debris can be repainted green... After that, you need to wait until the blanks are dry.
• Pine cones can be left in their original state without dyeing. The finished craft will still look beautiful.
• The natural materials should now be sorted by size. The largest bumps will need to be glued to the bottom of the cone. For fixing, polymer glue with a transparent composition is ideal. You can also use a glue gun. In carrying out these stages of work, the little master should help his parents.
• The cone-shaped body made of cardboard will need to be pasted over in a circle, moving from bottom to top. For the rest of the cone, you need to take smaller and smaller bumps.
• When the original Christmas tree made of painted or unpainted cones is ready, it will need to be beautifully decorated... For this purpose, a child can dress up a homemade product with pieces of tinsel or ribbons, beads, sparkles, and so on. Red stars cut from dense fabric glued to the herringbone will look beautiful.

Since a small child will work on the manufacture of such a beautiful craft, adults should keep all processes under control. This is due to the fact that during creative operations the baby will have to use scissors with sharp blades.

A child can bring many other beautiful cone crafts to kindergarten. You can make an adorable bird with your own hands using only natural materials and pieces of fabric.
