"Autumn time, fascination ..." - so great Russian poet AS Pushkin said about the golden autumn, and it's hard not to agree with him. Nature at this time is transformed into bright colors. The eye is pleased with yellow birches, bright red maple trees, a mottled-golden rustling carpet underfoot. And what crafts from the fallen dry leaves can be made by own hands, having occupied children a long rainy evening! Let's and we're dreaming.
What can be done from the autumn leaves?
Yes, anything, and what's enough for your dodgy feminine fantasy! And if you call for the help of children, a fountain of ideas and fictions will be an inexhaustible key. And especially many interesting compositions can be thought up from maple leaves, because they are so different in size and color. Collect them with the children, walking in the nearest park, and in the evening sit down at the table, and begin the magic transformation.
Composition of autumn maple leaves "butterfly"
Here, for example, a rather simple, but at the same time elegant composition of autumn leaves in the form of a butterfly. For its production, we need 2 medium and 2 large maple leaves, a pair of beads for the eyes, a thread with a needle and a little wire for fastening and paws.
Take the 2 middle leaves and fold them so that their cuttings are next - this will be the mustache of our butterfly. From the leaves themselves, twist a tight tube, this body. Now take one of the large leaves, attach it from the left side of the butterfly, and wrap the stalk around the body and fasten it with a piece of wire. The tips of the wire will be a pair of paws. Also do the same with another sheet, just attach it to the right. Here is our butterfly already winged, and she already has 4 paws. With the help of one more piece of wire, make the third pair of paws, and on the head, sew the eyes-beads. Everything, the butterfly is ready to fly.
Composition of autumn leaves "tree"
Among the compositions of maple leaves, there is one more, which even a toddler of three years can cope with, she is called a "tree". For this craft, we need some odd number of different in size and color maple leaves, branched stick and a bit of plasticine or thread.
So, first ask the baby to spread out the leaves into large, medium and small ones, and then get down to business. You tear off small pieces of thread from the reel, and let the child tie the leaves behind the cuttings to the twig. If you can not tie the baby, ask him to stick the leaves with small clumps of plasticine. A ready-made tree can be put in a vase or a stand built of a piece of cardboard and plasticine.
Crafts from dry autumn leaves in the form of applique
And from the dry autumn leaves you get wonderful applications, but this is an activity for older children. For example, we collect different leaves, maple, chestnut, birch, rowan, linden. In a word, those trees that grow
To do this, first think about where and in what order your application will be located. Then practice on some unnecessary cloth. Spread the sheet on one side with paint and apply it with the painted side on the fabric. Top with a sheet of paper and smooth your hand, and after a while, remove both the paper and the sheet. Well, it happened? Then you can and take the tablecloth.
Compositions made of maple, oak, birch and other leaves can be invented a great many, there would be a desire. Good luck in your work!
