It is very important for babies to create and experiment. They constantly need to select different materials, textures, sizes and colors for them. This is how fine motor skills, imagination, perseverance and attentiveness develop. We want to make it easier for you, so we have collected 10 beautiful and easy ideas for crafts from vegetables for kindergarten!
1. Eggplant machine

2. Onion turtles
Making such funny turtles is as easy as shelling pears - you only need bulbs of different sizes. Large and round - on the shell, and small and elongated - on the head and paws.
3. Menagerie of onions
Onions are generally a very convenient material for children's handicrafts made from vegetables. For example, a couple of onions, wire and toothpicks will make such cute animals and birds.

To make your favorite cartoon characters, you need a few pumpkins and paints. And funny eye-glasses are obtained from any round-shaped tin lids.
