The ideas of the manufacture of ships
To prepare everything you need in advance, it is better to immediately choose the idea for the ship from the zucchini. It can be a very small one-darler, and maybe a whole steamboat with pipes and windows of vegetables. In many ways, the appearance of the autumn craft will depend on the size, color and forms of your zucchini.

With cabbage
One of the most simple and fun boats. Preschooler will cope with him, if, for example, you need to make a cradle in kindergarten. You will need a zucchini, a small kochan cabbage, "Gallotorov" toothpicks or sushi sticks. From the tools you can restrict ourselves to a knife and a spoon.
To begin with, we cut the top of the zucchini along. Do not remove too much so as not to be mistaken, it is better to mark the tail of the knife on the side of the board and rely on it.
Then a spoon you need to remove the pulp so that the walls are quite thick and kept well the shape.
To the toy be stable, you can slightly cut down and the lower part, like the platform.
Optionally, you can cut into a knife or draw a sharp item on the sides of the windows or the "Board" line.

To decorate a boat, you can cut out of carrots or potatoes. Small checkboxes and secure them on the tops of the mast. The thread or the twine easily symulates the ropes. With a share of the Snorkee will even be depicted from vegetables anchor and attach it on board with a toothpick. Onion rings will turn into rescue circles, and if you plug in such a ring of five to six toothpicks in a circle, you will get a beautiful steering wheel.

With flowers
Girls can like the idea of making a beautiful ship for the princess. To the toy is truly magical and luxurious, Use flowers as decoration.
Elements of bright vegetables look very interesting: carrots and beets. To work, we need a thin little knife, scissors, spoon. If you have special molds for cutting vegetables or dough, use them.
Using a knife, give a zabachka shape of the ship. Select the flesh and seeds, align the bottom.
Make sails from colored paper or cabbage leaves and chopsticks.
Now you need to cut flowers. Carrots cut thin rounds. With the help of scissors, we make petals or use the finished mold for cutting vegetables. Each flower is fastened on board the ship with a toothpick. Add leaves from parsley or any greenery assembled in the garden.
For beautiful roses we will need beets and vegetable people.
The juice of this root is very resistant, protect your clothing and working surface from contamination.
Cut from the tuber a thin strip. In order for it to be elastic, you can booze beets first at first and cool. We turn the strip into the tube and add some more layers of petals. Finished rugs fasten with toothpick and decorate dill or cilantro. The same buds can be made from carrots, apple peel or orange peel. With leaves of cucumber or herbarium flowers look very natural and pretty.
Pirate
To make a pirate ship, step by step repeat the main steps. But such an exercise should differ in decor. When the base with sails is ready, you need to give it an appropriate look. To do this, we use the most famous symbol - Flag Jolly Roger.
If the exercise in school is needed tomorrow morning, and there is no strength and time, you can simply draw the skull and bones on paper, cut the sail and consolidate. But much more interesting to make it with your own hands along with the child.
We will take a dark vegetable, such as beets. We can cut down gently along the thick stripes. Let us give them a form of a rectangle or pennant.
Now you need to cut the skull and bones from the light color of the material. It can be potatoes or carrots. In order not to make a mistake, draw the shape in advance in advance.
Toothpicks secure the flag pattern and gently cut the sticking edges. Do not overdo it with a thickness and number of fasteners, otherwise the plate of vegetables can crack.

To portray a rowing boat, take a small zucchini or zucchini, let us give him the form of the plael. To do this, cut the top and remove the flesh.
As a merry, we use toothpicks or wands - depending on the size of the base. From the upper cut piece of the zucchini or other vegetable, we cut the blades of an oval or rectangular view. They should not be too subtle, because they are not at the end of the merry.
Now neatly cut out sturdy in the boats. To do this, you can use the rod from the handle. To the rowing was where to sit, make the bench from a piece of vegetable or a few matches. We insert the oars, and the handicraft is ready!
