Evening is an amazing time when the whole family gets together and unsuspecting parents find out what exactly needs to be brought for tomorrow autumn crafts to kindergarten. So that such a situation does not take you by surprise, we recommend preparing in advance and familiarizing yourself with ideas for children's crafts.

We have prepared for you many step-by-step and colorful master classes of varying difficulty levels. We are sure that you will definitely find something worthwhile for yourself.

Did you know that the Soviet cartoon “Hedgehog in the Fog” 15 years ago was recognized as the best animated film of all time? You see what a difficult animal this hedgehog is. It is definitely worthy of repeated embodiment with the help of various natural materials.

Volumetric hedgehog made of seeds and plasticine

A cheerful and thrifty hedgehog, cheerfully carrying mushrooms on its back, may come to visit your apartment in the fall. To do this, you will need to stock up on simple natural materials, an hour of free time and involve young assistants in the work.

For joint creativity you will need:

• foil;
• leg-split;
• black and brown
• unpeeled seeds;
• PVA glue;
• acorns and leaves for decoration.

Make the base of the hedgehog from foil. You can immediately tear off a large piece of foil and form it into a drop-shaped piece. Or roll a separate ball for the body and a small cone for the spout and connect them together, wrapping them in foil.

Cover the hedgehog's body with black plasticine and its face with brown plasticine. This important stage can be safely entrusted to the child; nothing will be spoiled, and all the flaws will then be hidden.

Lubricate the muzzle with a thin layer of PVA. Also moisten the twine a little with glue and wrap it tightly, row by row, around the face, starting from the nose. You'll have to stop there for now and let the glue dry. Remember that this should happen naturally. On a radiator or when drying with a hairdryer, the plasticine will melt.

The next stage is the design stage. You need to make needles for the hedgehog from the seeds. Start work from the head, arrange the rows of seeds in a checkerboard pattern. Stick the “needles” into the plasticine as tightly as possible to each other.

Decorate the face with plasticine eyes and nose.

Mushrooms can be easily made from acorns by simply covering their caps with brown plasticine. If you wish, you can attach real leaves to them. Using plasticine, attach the mushrooms to the back of the hedgehog.

Such a cutie will definitely please your child, and will also allow you to enjoy joint creativity.
