Our kids have so much energy and curiosity! This can and should be used: let the child make something on his own, create his own naive children's masterpieces. Of course, with your help and active participation small touching gifts may appear for parents or grandparents - for a holiday or for absolutely no reason, just to say: “I love you.”

Magical transformation of ordinary objects

When a picture emerges from several types of cereals and seeds, it is akin to a miracle. After all, it is traditionally believed that we cook porridge from buckwheat and rice, and throw away melon and watermelon seeds without a second thought if we are not going to plant them. But it won’t be difficult to look at it differently - and try to use non-traditional materials for making crafts.

Then cereals, legumes, seeds will magically turn into paints, and your imagination can suggest very unexpected solutions, and your little one will receive the first lessons in craftsmanship... But before you start mastering crafts from cereals, give your children a short drawing lesson on... semolina. Pour it into the tray and show how your finger can create a picture: a sun, a Christmas tree, a mushroom... The baby will be delighted!

What may be useful

Just imagine: creativity doesn’t require any special devices or materials. You most likely already have everything you need in your home:

When creating crafts from cereals for children with your own hands, you can use the natural colors of the inhabitants of the kitchen cabinet:

• brown - buckwheat, tea leaves;
• shades of white - rice, semolina, pumpkin seeds, zucchini;
• yellow - peas, millet;
• shortbread - wheat groats;
• black, gray - seeds.

You can create a whole picture from beans of various colors!

DIY rainbow

But if you want brighter colors, such as red or blue, the solution is simple: change the color of white raw materials with food coloring. Even if a young creator suddenly dares to taste a grain or a seed for inspiration, you will have nothing to fear.

However, if you need to paint semolina, it is necessary to use another technology. To dissolve gouache, you need to mix equal volumes of water and alcohol. In a glass or plastic plate, add the resulting liquid to the paint to achieve the desired shade.

Advice. The most convenient option is to paint more cereals: not for one application, but with a reserve. Then you will always have a multi-colored palette ready in jars.

Craft base

You can draw a sketch of the future picture yourself or select an image on the Internet and print it. This is a good solution for adults who are not artists at all.

To begin with, you should try your hand at creating small applications from pumpkin seeds, sunflowers, beans and peas. In this case, plasticine applied to the base inside the contours of the figure can act as glue. For legumes, the retaining layer is needed thicker than for light seeds.

Of course, nothing will work on thin paper; it simply won’t withstand the load. To still use a printed stencil, it is better to stick it on cardboard and then wait until the glue dries.

Fantasy and creativity

What kind of materials do passionate people create their works from: scraps of fabric, pieces of paper, small stone chips... The list can be continued for a long time. And to name all the varieties of crafts is almost unrealistic, there are so many of them!

Hedgehog made from seeds

You can simply make a portrait of a cute animal with a prickly back, or, to complicate the task, draw another path along which the animal goes to its house.

The “Hedgehog” craft from seeds is not very difficult to make together with your child. Of course, you have already prepared a stencil on cardboard in advance, kneaded the plasticine until soft and poured seeds, buckwheat and rice into the bowls.

After completing each fragment filled with cereal, the excess should be shaken off onto a dish or tray. If you do everything step by step, carefully, the result will definitely please both you and the baby.

Is your hedgehog ready to stock up for the winter? Then make several plasticine mushrooms and apples and attach them to the needle seeds.

The works “Chicken” and “Mushroom Family” are performed similarly..

Craft “Flowers in a Vase”

And now it’s time for men (in this case, age is not the main thing, it’s about the state of mind) to get down to business. To make women smile and feel happier, there is one recipe: give them flowers more often. Having received your bouquet, your mother and grandmother will be touched, and your sister or friend will reward you with a radiant smile.

Making crafts from seeds and cereals with your own hands is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. And if plasticine was needed for the hedgehog, then this time you will need PVA glue.

During the work process, all elements of the drawing must be done one by one and do not apply glue to several fragments at once: it may dry out, while you are working on one flower.

To make each flower neat, shake off excess grains - this way you will see where they did not stick and correct the situation in time.

To make the application look like a painting, you can create a background for a bouquet in a vase. This is not difficult: just apply glue to the free areas of the paper and sprinkle with semolina or dried tea bags. If at the same time the color of the background changes and becomes lighter from the perimeter to the center, the picture will “come to life.”

Panel “Cats on the night roof”

If you wish, the drawing can be done schematically and made with silhouettes of purrs on both sides of the pipe against the background of the moon and starry sky. Or you can try to create more detailed images - only you can decide how difficult the work will be.

To make it, you can use colored semolina and rice. Using something more massive is not entirely justified, since the panel is made on canvas. It is known that the fabric is overloaded can sag, become deformed and completely ruin the whole job.

If for some reason it is difficult to draw a plot picture yourself, you can print several templates from the Internet, and then transfer the contours to the prepared base.

The panel is characterized by two features: canvas and frame. Whether your work will be enclosed in a finished wooden structure, or whether it will be made from seeds, pasta, or strips of cereal, is up to you to decide. After all, you are the author and have every right to your own idea of ​​beauty.

If you decide to make a picture from colored beans, it is better to take cardboard and plasticine (hot glue). Just keep in mind: in this case, the process of creating a man-made masterpiece will be more like making a mosaic. Or perhaps it will remind your child of putting together puzzles... Either way, it will be a fun activity. This picture can also have a frame made of beans in a contrasting color.

It is quite possible that you will want to create new works with other characters: “Geese and Swans”, “Lisa Patrikeevna and Kolobok”... You never know the plots!

Crafts from different cereals, plant seeds are always original and can be used not only as exhibition objects, but also as full-fledged bright accents in kitchen decor or on the desktop. Well, if you are “dragged” into creative process, then, probably, the most different ideas: From topiary and napkin clips to decorated tabletops. Why not?

Attention, TODAY only!

Sometimes, in order to decorate the house or keep your child creative, all you need to do is look in the kitchen cabinet where the groceries are stored. After all, from cereals, beans, spices, grains and seeds you can make decor in eco or rustic style, as well as educational children's crafts. The main thing is to show your imagination and set aside some free time. In this material you will find 10 ideas and step by step instructions on making crafts from cereals with your own hands for children and adults, as well as a master class on coloring them with food dyes.

Idea 1. Topiary for table setting or interior decoration

Beans of bright colors are an excellent material for decorating a crown or topiary pot. For example, from green peas you can create such a decorative tree for spring home decoration or table setting for Easter.

Materials:

• 1 package of green peas (split and polished);
• Styrofoam base ball (sold in craft stores);
• 1 package of dry moss (any other material for decorating the “soil” of topiary is also suitable);
• 1 medium sized clay pot;
• PVA glue and hot glue in a gun;
• Brush;
• 1 wooden stick, skewer or simple pencil (this will be the trunk of the topiary);
• Green acrylic paint (for painting the ball to match the peas);
• Paints in the desired colors to decorate the pot (optional);
• Polystyrene foam, floral foam or any hardening mixture like cement or alabaster.

Master class:

Step 1: If you're not happy with the look of your pot and/or trunk, paint it and let it dry.

Step 2: While the pot is drying, paint one half of the foam ball to match the beans and let it dry. When this happens, paint the other half of the ball and leave it to dry the same way.

Step 3. When the ball is completely dry, cut a hole in it for the trunk 2-3 cm deep using an awl or knife.

Step 4. Start decorating it with peas. To do this, place it on a plate, use a brush to apply PVA glue to a small area and generously sprinkle peas on it.

Let this area dry a little and proceed to sprinkle the next part of the ball. Continue this process until the entire ball is covered in green peas, then leave it to dry overnight.

Step 5. Once the resulting crown is dry, work on the gaps. To do this, you need to treat the voids with glue and sprinkle them with cereal again.

Step 6. Now insert the barrel into the ball, after pouring a drop of hot glue into the previously made hole. To hold the barrel more tightly, you can lay pieces of paper around it and fill the hole with glue to the very top. Keep in mind that without the paper, the glue will melt the foam and make the hole too deep. Finally, once the trunk is secured, decorate the area around it with peas (if necessary).

Step 7. Start creating a fixing “soil” in the pot. In this tutorial, floral foam was used to secure the tree. If you also use foam or polystyrene foam, then you only need to adjust its dimensions to the pot so that the tree stands level and strong. Otherwise, you can dilute any fixing composition according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 8. When the base of the topiary is ready, all you have to do is decorate it with moss, sisal, the same peas or any other grain.

Idea 2. Panel or picture made from cereals

Cereals, beans, grains and seeds come in a variety of colors, which means that you can “paint” a picture with them or put together a mosaic panel. Depending on your idea and artistic skills, the drawing can be more detailed or very sketchy.

The following selection of photos shows examples of children's crafts made from cereals and pasta in the form of appliqués.

In the next video you can see the process of making applications from cereals together with your baby.

And here is a selection of examples of panels and paintings from cereals that you can make with your own hands to decorate the interior (scroll the photo to the right).

Materials:

• Various colored beans, cereals, seeds, pasta;
• PVA glue and glue brush;
• Thick and strong cardboard (for children's appliques), a piece of plywood or canvas on a stretcher (for “adult” paintings);
• Sketch of the drawing;
• Paints and brushes.

Master class:

1. Paint the background of the painting the color you want.
2. Select cereals that match the color of the selected pattern and sort them into plates.
3. Draw by hand or transfer the sketch onto cardboard, for example, through carbon paper or using a ready-made/homemade stencil.

1. Apply a thin layer of glue to a small area of ​​the picture and immediately sprinkle it with cereal of the color that matches the picture in this area. When the area dries a little, remove the excess grain and continue to “paint” the picture in parts so that the glue does not have time to dry.

• Remember that PVA glue dries completely in about 2 hours.

Idea 3. Frame decor

With the help of cereals you can transform a simple frame for a photo, picture or mirror. You can make a pattern of colored beans or simply give the surface a relief by strewing it with cereal.

If desired, the frame itself and the cereal can be painted with spray paint.

Using the same principle, you can decorate not only the frame with cereal, but also the interior letter as in the photo below. To make this letter we used: beans, purple paint in a can and a blank in the shape of the letter B, cut out of plywood with a jigsaw.

And here’s an idea for a cereal craft for children – a magnet frame for the refrigerator with an ornament of colored beans.

To make such a cute photo frame, you just need to cut out a frame blank from cardboard, decorate it with colored beans like a mosaic, and then glue a couple of magnets to the back.

Idea 4. Decor of vases and bottles

Cereals can be used as a decorative filler for glass vases and bottles for candles, artificial flowers, branches, dried flowers, makeup brushes and even knives. The following selection of photos shows examples of candlesticks in autumn colors.

This slider presents photo examples of decorative filling of vases for flowers and plants with cereals.

Cereals and beans can be used to fill not only vases, but also bottles.

And here are examples of the practical use of vases filled with cereals.

Cup for cosmetic brushes filled with dyed rice

Here are some tips to help you create a beautiful composition:

• In order not to spend a kilogram of cereal on one candlestick, you need to place a glass in the center of the container to support the candle.
• You can use one type of cereal or several types of cereals and beans in contrasting colors to create a striped vase filling.
• To pour colored cereal into a bottle layer by layer, use a funnel or just paper rolled into a cone.

• Colored beans can be replaced by rice colored with food coloring as in the photo below (see master class at the end of the article).

Idea 5. Easter egg decor

Small cereals, grains, spices, star pasta, seeds and dried herbs can be used for decoration easter eggs. You can simply apply PVA glue to the egg and roll it into grains, or create some mosaic-like patterns by first drawing a marking or sketch on the shell. To depict more precise shapes and figures, use stencils.

Idea 6. Bird food in the form of figures

Let's take a closer look at how to keep a child busy and what crafts you can make from seeds with your own hands.

Useful creative activity

Interacting with small objects will have a beneficial effect on the development of fine motor skills, so some types of seeds are perfect for sharing with a small child. Let's analyze the most interesting ideas and methods for their manufacture.

You should start working with small children by doing small paintings, and then take on larger ones. complex options. More complex applications are suitable for schoolchildren or preschoolers.

Creating similar works requires considerable perseverance and determination, and the beautiful works obtained at the end of the work justify all the effort expended.

Necessary material for work

List necessary materials may vary slightly depending on the method of attaching the seeds themselves or on the type of future work.

The simplest mounting option is pressing into plasticine; even kids can handle it, but under the supervision of adults. The photo of crafts made from seeds shows that they can be either flat or voluminous.

Basic set of materials:

• seeds;
• glue;

When the seeds are dry, they can be placed in a special container, which should close tightly and protect them from moisture.

Preparing pumpkin seeds takes significantly longer. We also start by collecting the seeds, then they need to be washed and dried thoroughly.

If white seeds are needed for the application, then at this stage the harvesting process can be considered completed and the seeds can be placed in a jar.

And if you need colored seeds, then you should carry out a procedure for coloring them; this can be done in two ways. Applying paint with a brush. This coloring option will be convenient when work requires no large number seeds, otherwise it will be a rather tedious process.

When mass dyeing seeds, you can use more in a simple way. IN plastic bag you should place the paint on the basis that all the seeds should be immersed in it, add the seeds there and mix them thoroughly with the dye (gouache, acrylic, food coloring).

To obtain brighter and richer tones, leave the seeds in the paint for 10-15 minutes. After completing the procedure, they must be placed on oilcloth and dried again in the sun.

After thorough drying, they can be placed in an airtight container for storage or used for crafts with detailed instructions.

Craft ideas

There are a huge number of different ideas for creating crafts and applications from seeds. Let's look at the most common ideas for collaboration with small children. More detailed stages of production will be discussed in the master class on crafts made from seeds.

For the Christmas tree you will need a plastic tube from a pen. It needs to be covered in a circle with plasticine, and then the seeds should be stuck on the plasticine as needles.

To create a ball you will need a foam base. Using glue, you need to place seeds on it like scales.

Don’t forget about the cord so that you can hang the finished decorative ball on the Christmas tree. After it is completely covered with scales, it will be necessary to paint the scales, if already colored seeds were not used.

Applications

When creating an application, your own imagination is your most faithful assistant. There are a lot of ideas out there if you haven’t been able to come up with them yourself.

Seeds can be combined with cereals, legumes, beads and even small cones to decorate photo frames or various stands.

Numerous examples of works and ideas that can be implemented by both adults and children. Finished works can become not only home decoration, but also take prizes at exhibitions in kindergarten or school. Therefore, you should not waste time on empty thoughts, but rather get to work and start creating a miracle!

Photos of crafts made from seeds

Cereals and coffee beans are the most accessible materials for handicrafts, which are found in almost every home. They make very creative crafts that can be used to decorate the interior or as a gift to a loved one. Works made from cereals will allow you to fully reveal your creativity, and also fun to do with children.

If we talk about coffee beans, they not only have a pleasant aroma, but are also quite practical for creative works, since they differ in optimal parameters. In addition, the smell of high-quality grains stabilizes the nervous system and helps stimulate children's observation, perseverance, and formation creative thinking and an original approach to business.

How to make paintings from coffee beans

• A suitable size photo frame.
• Polymer glue or heat gun.
• Depending on the idea of ​​the future painting, you can purchase colored paper, aerosol or watercolor paints, as well as any other accessories to your taste.

Before starting work, you need to remove the glass from the frame and remove the protective film from the frame, remove the cardboard lining, and if desired, you can cover it with paper, a plain fabric, or paint it.

Then you need to think over a sketch of the future work. With the help a simple pencil outline the location of the drawing. You can pre-lay out the grains without gluing them to the base, which will allow you to better think through the design and, if desired, modify it. By carefully thinking through the picture, you can avoid mistakes and omissions. In general, the grains can be placed however you want, in absolutely any direction.

If you want to change the shade of the grains, you can tint them with watercolors or spray paints. Don't forget about different types of coffee, which also have differences in color.

Once you have decided on the color and design idea, you can start gluing the grains. You should not use too much glue, because during the work it can stick out and create unwanted stains. Remove excess glue in a timely manner by blotting it with a dry cloth.

Instead of a photo frame, you can use a wall clock as a basis and also use it as a basis for your creativity.

No less relevant is the idea of ​​​​creating a kind of coffee tree or. It can be made by placing a stick on a stand and attaching a ball of light material, such as paper, to the top. Subsequently, the surface of the ball and the stand are covered with coffee beans.

Crafts from cereals for children in kindergarten

The technique of gluing cereals onto paper differs from the previously presented version with coffee beans. For example, legumes can be glued separately. Small grains can be poured onto a surface coated with glue through a stencil.

Alphabet of cereals for children

When introducing a child to letters, as well as learning to read, it is best to use the three-dimensional letter technique. This will help him remember the letters faster and he will be able to enjoy the unique game.

• Cereals: beans, peas, millet, etc. at your discretion.

Decorate the bottle with cereals or seeds

This craft will be a rather unusual decoration for your home. The design depends on the color of the cereals, which, just like coffee ones, can be tinted.

Educational games using semolina

Games with cereals are widely used to develop fine motor skills in children. To increase interest in the game, the croup can be colored.
