"Smeshariki" is a cartoon popular among children. His characters are spherical in shape and differ from each other in small structural features and colors. Children love to draw their favorite characters and sculpt their figures from plasticine. An original form of creativity is the production of smeshariki figurines from vegetables and fruits. You can assemble the hero with your own hands using toothpicks or wooden skewers.

Material for creativity

You can use any products, matching them to the color of the character. For example, red cabbage is suitable for the Hedgehog, and colored cabbage with wavy edges is suitable for the lyric poet Barash. Kopatych and Losyash can be created either from an orange pumpkin or from an apple selected for this color.

You can make your own smeshariki from vegetables and fruits for an autumn exhibition at school or kindergarten. Funny cartoon characters are sure to attract everyone's attention and take first place in the competition.

In the article we will tell you how to make such crafts from fruits and vegetables, what methods of attaching parts will be needed, and how to maintain the integrity of the structure when carrying it. Your children will definitely enjoy this new type of creativity, and it will be fun for adults to experiment with the fruits of gardens and vegetable gardens.

Barash

Making your favorite Smeshariki hero from potatoes, carrots, zucchini and cauliflower will take a minimum of time. Barash is a sad character who tends to be sad and sad while writing poetry. The appearance of the craft should convey its mood. The character's curly fur can easily be depicted as cauliflower. It is spherical and has a wavy surface structure. Cut off the lower process with a knife, achieving stability of the figure. Lamb legs are cut from zucchini or zucchini, the cylinders should be the same size and height. Attach the torso to the legs using several toothpicks.

Thin elongated slices of carrots will serve as ears, and potatoes will serve as Barash’s muzzle. It tends to darken when the peel is cut, just like an apple, so for fruit and vegetable crafts they are sprinkled with lemon juice, and the potatoes can simply be boiled. To insert the head in front, a round hole is cut out in the cabbage, and narrow slits are made for the ears. Everything is secured with wooden skewers or toothpicks. Barash's eyes and nostrils are cut out of olives and simply inserted into the potato pulp with pressure. For the eyes, you can also use cloves, pushing them into the animal’s head with sharp sticks.

Krosh

This cheerful and energetic rabbit is liked by many kids. Making such a smeshariki from vegetables and fruits with your own hands is not easy, since the character’s long ears should stick up. It is most convenient to make it from white cabbage. Additionally, you will need carrots, zucchini, beets, parsley, pumpkin seeds for teeth decoration and artificial eye substitutes.

The lower legs are made wide so that the cabbage holds a vertical position well. Ears are cut from thick cabbage leaves. The thin side parts of the leaves are removed with a knife, leaving small pieces around the veins. The two front teeth are used to secure the seeds under the cabbage leaf; you can make a special cut in the right place. A small peeled carrot with greens on top is pinned into the hand. You can attach toy eyes by purchasing them at a sewing accessories store. But for a smesharik of vegetables and fruits with your own hands, you can cut them out of white radishes, and the pupils from the peel of eggplants or black olives. Currants or halves of prunes would also look good.

Nyusha

For preschool children, a kindergarten teacher may suggest making a cartoon pig from a round potato and plasticine. You can make this smesharik craft from onions.

The parts for the paws, ears, mouth and snout are made from red plasticine. In order for the elements to adhere well to the surface of the potato, it must be washed well with a brush or sponge and dried so that it is smooth. Holes on the patch are made with a stack or any stick. The eyes are sculpted from two colors of plasticine. The large circles are white and the pupils are black.

You can take the craft to the exhibition on a cardboard base in the shape of a green lawn or use a plastic board for modeling.

Goby Mulya

A cheerful bull, whose full name is Mulentius, will perfectly turn out from any round object. You can make smeshariki from apples, round melon, pumpkin or even white turnips. If the color needs to be conveyed accurately, then the surface of the fruit can be painted with simple white gouache.

For a small child, spots on the skin of a bull can also be painted with black paint. Older children will be able to cut out convoluted spots from the peel of eggplant or black turnip for Smesharik. The ears and face are made pink. They can be created from pale beets, apple peels, and pinned to the body with toothpicks along the edges.

The craft with the addition of felt looks interesting. Such soft parts can even be glued to the pumpkin using PVA.

Owl

The owl in the cartoon is purple in color. However, in nature, except for eggplants, this color is difficult to find, and this vegetable’s shape is not at all round. Therefore, an owl can be made from another round blank, taking, for example, a small pumpkin, as in the photo in the article below.

An owl will turn out beautifully, in which all the small details are made from sheets of felt of different colors. If for an exhibition at the autumn fair at school you need crafts made only from vegetables or fruits, then you can cut out parts from the following fruits:

• The wings are made from cabbage leaves, both white and red.
• Round eye contours can be made from thin slices of eggplant or zucchini.
• Replace the eyes themselves with white slices of radish or potatoes (don't forget to treat the surface with lemon juice).
• The pupils are made from olives or eggplant peels.
• A yellow beak can be cut from an apple, melon or zucchini skin.

Funny company

You can make Smeshariki friends for a crafts exhibition from small fruits, immediately creating a friendly company of characters. You can place them on a tray or in a rectangular plastic packaging box with high sides.

Let's consider what fruits the crafts are made from. We used onions for the image of Nyusha the pig, a large apple for Hedgehog, potatoes for Kopatych and yellow lemon for Losyash.

All small details, such as the nose, paws, hedgehog quills, hat and moose antlers, are made of soft plasticine. It was convenient to tie pink threads of yarn to the bow's tail with a satin ribbon bow. This is a hairstyle for Nyusha the pig. The eyes of all the characters are cut out of white paper and simply glued onto the round fruit on top. The hedgehog's pupils and glasses are drawn with a black marker.

The article describes in detail how you can make smeshariki from vegetables and fruits; the master class will help you make crafts yourself at home or in a lesson at school. Educators can offer easy crafts to older preschoolers during a manual labor class in kindergarten.

Let's continue sewing soft toys with our own hands. Let's sew the mischievous Krosh.

To create a toy we will need:

• deep blue fleece;
• pale blue or white fleece for the muzzle and tail;
• pink fleece or felt for the nose;
• white and black felt for eyes;
• filler;
• threads, needles, pins, scissors.

How to sew a toy - description and master class

First, let's redraw or print the pattern in full size.

We cut out the required number of all parts using templates. Don't forget about seam allowances.

We sew down small parts - arms, legs, ears. This can be done by hand or by machine - the choice is yours. We leave a hole for stuffing on all parts.

If you are sewing a toy from fleecy material, consider the direction of the pile when cutting and sewing. It should be the same for all parts. For convenience, you can indicate the direction of the pile on the wrong side of the parts with an arrow.

We turn the part inside out and stuff it with filler. Try to keep the filling density uniform. Otherwise, the toy will warp when washed. Sew up the hole using hidden stitches.

All parts are prepared, you can start assembling.

The next stage is a very important one. We need to sew the muzzle evenly and symmetrically. It is most convenient to focus on the joining seam of the head and body. We fold the muzzle part in half and, aligning the fold line with the joining seam, fix the part with pins. Next, straighten the part and, slightly pulling, pin the pins along the contour. We evaluate the symmetry and, if necessary, correct it. We sew the muzzle with hidden stitches.

Let's move on to the design of the back. Sew together the parts of the tail, turn them inside out and fill them with filler. This should not be done very tightly. If desired, you can sew or drag the petals of the tail with threads, giving it the shape of a flower. Sew the tail in place.

We turn the ears inside out and fill them with filler. The degree of filling is not too tight, so that the ears just hold their shape. Sew on the ears, tucking the cut inside. At your discretion, this can be done in a circle along the contour of the part or with a straight seam. With the first option, the ears will stick out on the head, with the second, they will hang down. Our MK has a circular seam.

To design the muzzle, you need to find the center line and mark it. Cut out the eyes and highlights. There should be two glares for each eye – Ø6mm and Ø10mm.

We try on Krosh's eyes and attach them with pins. We sew on the eyes using a very neat buttonhole stitch with small stitches. It is better to do this with a bead needle.

We cut out a round nose from pink fleece. We sew it in a circle and gather it together, putting a little filler in the middle. We tighten the thread, getting a spout - a button. You can try it on the muzzle, but you shouldn’t sew it on yet. We outline a smiling mouth and embroider it with a “back needle” stitch. We hide the knots of thread in the place of the future nose. Finally, we sew on the nose.

Now we will work on the arms and legs. We turn them inside out and fill them with filler. We try it on Kroshik and sew it on.

Pillow

If desired, you can sew a funny pillow - Krosha.

It is better to make all parts, except the head, from two different materials - plain blue and multi-colored.

To make it, print out the stencils below. We print them in the required sizes.

We cut out all the details from the selected fabric.

On one of the petals of the muzzle we sew on eyes, teeth, and embroider a smile. Sew all the petals together, leaving a gap.

We sew together the details of the arms, legs, ears and tail.

Turn it inside out, trim off the excess allowance, and stuff it.

Sew all the limbs, tail and ears in place. The pillow is ready!

Our next toy will be the pink coquette Nyusha.

Nyusha

For sewing you need:

• fleece in pink and red (or brown) colors;
• a small piece of white fleece or felt for the eyes;
• a little black felt (can be replaced with black buttons) for the pupils;
• red threads for mouth embroidery;
• thick threads (possibly wool) for hair;
• filler;
• lace for bow;
• threads, needles, scissors, sewing machine (if you do the work with machine seams).

Description

We make patterns for all parts of the toy.

We cut out the components from the material.

We sew each wedge from parts of the body and head. Then we grind all the wedges together, leaving an area for turning and filling with filler.

We turn it inside out, fill it with filler and sew up the remaining seam area with blind stitches. We make a patch.

Sew the patch in place, embroider the nostrils (you can sew two black beads instead of embroidery). We grind down the parts of the ears and turn them inside out.

We sew the arms, legs from the main part, and hooves. Turn it inside out and fill it with filling. Sew on the legs.

Similarly, using invisible stitches, we sew on the handles.

From thick red woolen threads (or from strips of fleece) we make a bun of hair. We sew it onto the top of the head and braid it. For decoration you can use bows, buttons, beads or beads. After all, Nyusha is a big fashionista, she must be beautiful!

For the eyes, cut out two circles from white fleece and sew black buttons to them. As an alternative, using ready-made eyes is quite suitable.

We cut out eyelids from red fleece. Sew them to the eyes. We embroider the mouth and eyelashes with red thread.

It turns out an almost finished toy.

All that remains is to put some blush on our coquette. Cut out hearts from red fleece and sew them onto the face.

And the final touch - we make a tail with a crochet hook and sew it on.

For Nyusha, you definitely need to sew or knit her favorite – Tuzya. For the dog, you can draw the pattern yourself - it’s completely simple. Tuzya is performed in beige and brown tones. And don't forget about the letters on your belly! Details of the toy - see photo.

Let's continue sewing Smeshariki from felt with our own hands using patterns. Let's start making an adult and smart Pin.

Pin

To sew a penguin you need:

• felt – black, white, orange and yellow;
• filler;
• threads, needles, scissors.

We sew the ears on both sides of the hat.

We attach the hat to the head with hidden stitches.

Smesharik Pin is ready!

At a more conscious age, it is impossible to tear a child away from the TV or computer screens if their favorite cartoons are on. The presence of bright, interesting, colorful, funny cartoons in our time forces parents to increasingly come up with various activities and entertainment for their children, just so that they do not sit for hours in front of the TV. One of the most popular children's cartoons is Smeshariki. Funny characters always make kids laugh out loud, so why not combine business with pleasure and make paper Smeshariki yourself? This is a great activity for kids and parents to do together.

In this master class we will tell you how to make such funny crafts with your own hands, and provide diagrams for forming little ones.

We will create our cartoon characters from colored paper or cardboard. You will also need scissors and a simple pencil.

We make Malysharikov with laughter

First, let's get acquainted with the heroes of our cartoon:

1. Krosh;
2. Nyushenka;
3. Hedgehog;
4. Lamb;
5. Losyash;
6. Auntie Sovunya;
7. Kar Karych;
8. Kopatych.

We decide on our favorite characters and get to work.

The ideal option would be printed blank images of our heroes. Well, if you can’t print them, you can simply transfer them onto paper to make templates. And with the help of them we cut them out of cardboard. The auxiliary parts, highlighted in black, also need to be cut out.

The cut piece must be glued. We form a square; there are special letters on the auxiliary parts that will help you fold the parts in the right direction.

Do not apply too much glue, the cardboard material may get wet and then it will tear.

We add the final touches to our character, glue on legs, arms, horns. Draw the face of his favorite character with your baby together. So our Barash is ready.

To make it easier for you to come up with a fun game with your baby, let's look at the rest of the cartoon characters.

Meet Krosh. We make it in the same way as the previous one. The baby will be happy to make a fun-loving adventurer.

Sweet Nyushenka looks like this:

The inventor of Pin can also keep you company:

As you can see, making such cute characters is not difficult at all. Such an exciting job will bring a lot of laughter and pleasure to you and your children. And this despite the fact that the costs are minimal.

Spend a little time with your baby and grateful smiles and laughter will follow.

To make the work easier, we provide a selection of videos on this topic.

Many mothers go online to find Smeshariki patterns. And all because children simply adore the timid intellectual Hedgehog, the cheerful Krosh, the dreamy Barash, the flirtatious and inquisitive beauty Nyusha, the smart but absent-minded Losyash, the imperturbable athlete Sovunya, and the hardworking simpleton Kopatych. A huge number of children's products are produced with the symbols of the cartoon dedicated to funny balloon animals; of course, you can buy soft toys in the store. An excellent solution is to sew Smesharik with your own hands. Do you agree? We are ready to help you.

In the Pretty Toys Workshop you will find various patterns for Smeshariki toys. You can sew a character that is most interesting to your child, or take on creating an entire company. All Smeshariki friends are very similar in shape to each other, therefore, having sewed the first toy, you will be able to make others with greater ease.

Magnificent Smeshariki are capable of being more than just toys. By slightly changing the design and adding the missing details - pockets, fasteners, zippers, buttons, you can sew a Smesharik backpack or a Smesharik bag. The child will be very happy with such a gift. After all, you can not only play with it, you can put “important” little things in it.

It may seem that the pattern for sewing Smesharik with your own hands is elementary - just one big circle. However, the head is not so easy. The head is the main feature of Smesharikov. Some have horns, some have ears, some have a hat. When choosing material for a toy, it is worth considering that fabrics that are too light get dirty quickly. Therefore, choose materials that can be cleaned without problems. Instead of padding polyester, you can use polyester balls as a filler. They will help develop motor skills.

Sometimes parents look for more sustainable ways to have fun. You can spend leisure time with your children almost free of charge if you show a little imagination. Any waste material that can be recycled is suitable for creating crafts. One such example is the old ones. They are sure to be found in every home where there is a computer. Today, these storage media are becoming obsolete, but there is no point in throwing them away.

While going through old things in a table or cabinet, mom and dad throw out everything unnecessary. But they turn damaged CDs in their hands and put them back, hoping that these products will someday be useful again. If a child has an interest in creating all kinds of crafts with his own hands, then it is time to use the mirror surface of these outdated storage media for creativity.

Craft Smesharik Nyusha from CD and colored paper:

By adding colored paper to the disc, you can create any character from the cartoon “Smeshariki”. Beauty Nyusha is a lively little animal who loves romance novels and outdoor games. The color pink and daisies will help to reproduce this heroine.

1. Red, pink or purple paper is suitable for work. If whole leaves are not available, then it is quite possible to use pieces, since all the parts will be small, and the base will be a disk.

2. Cut out all the elements for Nyusha’s face: eyes, nose and mouth.

3. Glue the black dots onto the white circles, then attach the pink half moons. These will be Nyusha’s eyes, to the corners of which fluffy pink eyelashes should be added. Glue the nose-piglet to the central point of the disk, and place the thin mouth obliquely.

4. Cut out two small red ears and glue on the head. Decorate the top of your head with a wreath of daisies, because Nyusha loves flowers.

5. All that remains is to make the upper and lower hooves and attach them with glue in any order. Nyusha's craft from a CD is ready.

DIY Smesharik Barash craft from CD and paper:

To create Barash you will need a lot of round parts and a little patience. Using sharp scissors, you need to cut out the required number of small spirals. They can fill the entire surface of the disk or just process the edge. It all depends on the availability of free time and the perseverance of the child.

1. Prepare the disk for use.

2. Draw lots of circles on the back of the purple paper. To create even parts, use a compass or some kind of lid. Cut out circles and try them on to see if they are enough to fill the entire perimeter. Create a spiral from each circle by cutting it out with scissors.

3. Having prepared all the spirals, stick them on the mirror side of the disk. This is not difficult to do, just coat the edge of the disk with glue, and then apply a spiral and press it with your finger.

4. While the glue is drying, cut out the remaining parts to create the Barash. These will be the horns. The most rational way is to draw one curved horn on a sheet of blue paper, then bend it in half and cut out two elements at once, which will be a mirror image of each other. You will also need white and black circles for the eyes, a wide nose and a small red mouth.

5. Glue all the resulting blanks onto the disk to get Barash’s face.

6. All that remains is to attach the arms and legs. Cut them out of purple paper and the hooves from blue paper. Smesharik Barash from the CD is ready.

Craft Smesharik Losyash. DIY from a CD:

Smeshariki from a disk is one of the ways to use these mirror products for crafts. Funny cartoon characters have their own distinctive features, so they can be easily copied, you just need some colored paper. Elk has large horns, hooves and a wide nose. This must be taken into account when creating crafts from disk and paper.

1. It is advisable to use yellow and brown paper for the product to make the Losyash more realistic. You cannot do this work without glue, scissors and a simple pencil.

2. Cut out two round pieces to make eyes, glue on orange eyelids and attach black dots for pupils. From brown paper, cut out a wide nose, shaped like a drop.

3. Glue the resulting elements onto the disk, covering its central part.

4. Cut out antlers from brown paper. The moose must have branched antlers. Draw a beautiful sketch on the back of the paper, then bend the sheet and cut out two parts of the same shape at once. Cut out small ears from orange paper.

5. Glue the horns and ears to the disk.

6. A small mouth glued at an angle and eyebrows will help add a little character to the image.

7. Cut out the upper and lower limbs from orange or brown paper and give them the shape of hooves.

8. Glue the Moose to the body.

DIY Smeshariki crafts will decorate a child’s room and give good emotions to the child.

In a similar way, you can make all the Smeshariki from a CD and colored paper. Such a unique collection of Smeshariki will become the pride of a child.
