Helpers from the Internet
Before you start sculpting a bird, you need to talk about it and be sure to show illustrations so that the children have a sample before their eyes. Just for this purpose you can use a set of educational cards “Birds”, which can be purchased in the online store “OZON.RU”. 20 large colorful pictures will help children expand their vocabulary, learn the names of birds, and develop photographic memory.
What else is needed to sculpt birds? It is clear that the material. In kindergarten we usually sculpt from plasticine, but it happens that we use other materials. An excellent choice on the same “Ozone”: plasticine of different colors and different manufacturers, modeling mass, dough, kinetic sand and the necessary accessories you can choose without getting up from your chair, as they say. All materials are certified, tested, and recommended for use in preschool, school and home settings.
Let's move on to books. “UchMag” offers a teaching method “Modeling in kindergarten with children aged 5-7 years”, which will help educators draw up a summary of a lesson on modeling, and active parents - in solving the problem of what to do with a child on a day off or during the holidays. In principle, additional cards with illustrations are not needed; the manual contains beautiful pictures.
The online store “Kniga.ru” presents two manuals on our topic: and. I like both books, I think they are worth purchasing for a teacher’s library to add something new to their methodology for planning developmental activities with preschoolers. The first manual is interesting because it shows how you can synthesize several types of arts (folk toys, small sculpture, drawing, music, artistic expression) in modeling classes.
Good notes, I recommend them.
And the second manual is more universal and is devoted not only to modeling, but also to appliqué and drawing. All classes are meaningful and interconnected; this is a whole system for the aesthetic development of preschoolers.

look at the illustration of a swallow and note its structure and features.
Educator
informs the children that they are now starting to sculpt a swallow. From a piece of plasticine you need to separate a large one (for the body and tail) and 3 small pieces for the head and wings. From a small piece we roll a ball (the head, the beak should be pulled out with two fingers and made sharp, the eyes will be drawn in a stack. From a large piece we will roll an oval (the body, the tail should be pulled out with two fingers and the tail should be divided into two parts with a stack. This way we get a forked tail. U swallows have a white breast, for this, using a white cake, you need to make a white breast.
5. Exercise “Guess and sit down.” (2min) Teacher
invites children to stand up for a physical education session called “Guess and sit down.” The teacher names migratory and wintering birds; if he names the name of a wintering bird, then you need to sit down; and if the name is migratory, then wave your hands. Crow, nightingale, woodpecker, magpie, dove, swallow, tit, rook, starling, bullfinch, stork, crane, sparrow, heron, etc.
Children
take their seats.
6. Educator
reports that the work continues and wings are made from the remaining two pieces of plasticine.
The swallow has graceful, pointed wings, shaped like a comma. To do this, you need to roll out small ovals and flatten them on one side. The point of the stack will help create the illusion of feathers, you just need to make longitudinal furrows. Then connect all the parts. First attach the head to the body, and then the wings. The swallows are ready. (6 min) 7. The teacher
says that their swallows are ready and invites them to answer: - What did you do today?
(they sculpted swallows). —What were the swallows made of? (from dough) - Please tell us how you sculpted the swallows? Children
