Modeling with children 1 - 3 years old. Ideas and templates for modeling with kids

Modeling is a great way to develop fine motor skills, perseverance, perception, imagination and intelligence. It enriches the baby’s sensory experience and helps in dealing with stress and aggression.

Therefore, it is important to regularly engage in this useful creative activity from an early age.

In this article I will talk about how to sculpt with children aged 1–3 years, about materials, techniques and techniques. You can also download templates for modeling lessons with your child.

How to sculpt with kids

Some useful tips for sculpting with kids:

• Start as early as possible. Is your baby almost a year old? - it's time to introduce him to dough or soft mass for modeling. Let him just pinch off pieces or make dents. This is very useful for the baby. In any case, much more useful than learning to “read from the cradle.”
• The younger the child, the softer the material for modeling should be. Start with salt dough or a special modeling compound such as Play Doh.
• Plasticine allows you to do things that cannot be done with dough or mass. Therefore, do not delay your acquaintance with this material. But for starters, also choose the softest one possible, for example, Beam Krokha (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).
• At first, classes can last 5–15 minutes, but over time the duration of the class can be increased.
• Prepare materials and tools for sculpting in advance. Remove everything unnecessary from the table.
• Come up with a plot for each lesson, play it out. This way you can keep your child interested in modeling.
• Repeat activities that your child especially liked. But don't forget about diversity.

Store your child's crafts in a special folder, and don't forget to show off your work to guests.

Also, for variety, I recommend using ready-made manuals for classes, which I will write about at the end of the article.

I find most of the ideas for modeling in Elena Yanushko’s book “Sculpting with Young Children” (Labyrinth, Ozone, My-shop).

This manual contains a detailed description of the progress of each of the 153 lessons. This includes what you can say to your child to get him involved in a particular activity.

They are designed for children from 1 year old to at least 3 years old. They do not require complex preparation.

Modeling with children 1 – 3 years old

What can a child do with plasticine anyway? Below I will talk about the basic techniques and methods of sculpting with children 1 - 3 years old.

At this age there is no question of complex crafts. But you can come up with a huge number of simple activities that will certainly captivate your baby.

You can download and print the basis for all types of crafts listed in the article.

So, while modeling, we teach the baby:

Divide plasticine . You can do this in the following ways:

• pinch off small pieces and feed them to the birds;
• tear off a large piece to feed a large animal;
• Twist the sausage to separate it for the two dogs.

Flatten with your finger, press with your palm. First you make the balls, then the baby himself.

Print, color, cut out or draw the base and have your child:

• make spots on a fly agaric, giraffe, and ladybug;
• put vitamins in a jar, sweets in a plate;
• turn on the lights at the traffic lights;
• attach wheels to a car or locomotive;
• make it snow;
• stick apples to an apple tree, berries to a rowan branch, petals to a flower, seeds to a watermelon, leaves to a tree, balls to a Christmas tree, eyes to a fish or other animal

The child can sculpt elements either in any order or in specific places.

Smear with fingers or palm. Draw a small picture of an animal and ask your child:

• hide the animal, make a den for the bear, etc., by smearing plasticine over a small drawing.

Roll out modeling clay or plasticine with a rolling pin.

Play Doh modeling kits come with embossed rolling pins. Kids love to roll out the mixture and see interesting prints on it.

Make prints with various objects. You can do this with whatever comes to hand. It is advisable to use modeling clay or soft plasticine.

Press various objects into plasticine.

For such activities, we prepare the base in advance - roll out a cake about 3 mm thick in the color we need (green for grass, blue for water, etc.). We offer the baby:

• plant mushrooms or mosaic flowers;
• push pasta in the shape of cars into the plasticine road, turtles into the sand, etc. Make rays for the sun from spaghetti, worms from curled pasta, lay out shells on the sand, then collect them in a bucket, which can be fashioned in advance from plasticine;
• make a path out of beans, make beads, plant potatoes, lay out letters and numbers (closer to 3 years);
• press seeds or buckwheat into a sunflower;
• use beads, buttons, sequins to decorate a plasticine base in the form of a butterfly, fish, Christmas tree, dress;
• Use matches to make a fence for a cow and thorns for a hedgehog.

Roll into balls , large and small. This is how you can make it from plasticine:

• pies, sweets, vitamins, apples, oranges, berries, eggs, buns, snowballs.

Roll out the sausage . When rolling out the sausages, we do:

• stripes for zebra, tiger, bug;
• stairs, fence, sleepers;
• rays of the sun;
• sausage, bananas, dryers, pretzels for the doll;
• worms, snake, snail.

Draw on plasticine in a stack . Roll out the plasticine and show your child how to draw stripes, circles, and patterns on it.

Cut with a plastic knife or scissors. Separate the plasticine by applying the ruler edgewise.

• let the child make a sausage and cut it into pieces, feeding you and the animals;
• Make cookies and geometric figures from a flat piece.

Scrape off the plasticine with a stack or ruler.

• Cover small images of animals and cars with plasticine. And invite your child to find out who is hiding there.

Use a mold for bas-reliefs . Play Doh modeling kits are ideal here, but I'll talk about them below.

Coloring with plasticine.

• Print out a coloring page for little ones or draw a simple picture. Invite your child to color it by smearing the plasticine with his finger.

The main thing is that the base is small, because the child will not have enough patience for a large craft.

Connect plasticine parts together . Simple crafts from plasticine:

• fungus, carrot, apple, tumbler, snowman, rattle, candy;
• beads, grapes, caterpillar made of plasticine balls.

String plasticine onto a wire, match or thin stick:

• caterpillar, beads;
• lollipops, cherries.

Make letters and numbers . Plasticine can be stuck to printed outlines of letters and numbers, or simply sculpted without outlines.

We do all this, of course, by coming up with an interesting plot and playing it out.

System for monitoring children’s achievement of the planned results of the Program

Monitoring of child development and educational process is carried out twice a year: December, April. Monitoring of the educational process is carried out through tracking the results of mastering the educational program, and monitoring of child development is carried out on the basis of an assessment of the development of the child’s integrative qualities and are formulated in accordance with Federal State Requirements (FGT). Using educational process monitoring tools, you can assess the degree of progress of a preschooler in the educational program. Diagnostics are carried out within the framework of direct educational activities, as well as individually. The form of monitoring is primarily observation of the child’s activity during various periods of stay in a preschool institution, analysis of the products of children’s activities.

Diagnostic technique

Assessment of the level of development: 0 points – this characteristic has not been formed, and its appearance is random (low level); 1 point – the characteristic assumes a periodic manifestation, depending on the characteristics of the situation, the presence of control by an adult, the child’s mood, etc. (average level); 2 points – the emerging characteristic is stable and does not depend on the characteristics of the situation, the presence or absence of an adult, other children, the child’s mood, the success or failure of previous activities, etc. (high). The results of monitoring the educational process are entered into a table, which indicates all the results of the level of mastery of the necessary skills and abilities in educational areas.

Modeling from Play Doh

We got the Play Doh modeling kit (Labyrinth, My-shop) when Antoshka turned 2 years old. I should have bought it much earlier!

Modeling became my son’s favorite pastime for several months; he could sculpt 5 times a day!

We had a set called “Cookie Shop” (My-shop). It is ideal for kids.

Much later we bought the “Pizza” (My-shop), which is also for the little ones.

For children aged 1.5 - 2.5 years, it is better to buy simple Play Doh modeling kits, and older children will like all sorts of “Cake Factories”, “Mr. Nibbler”, etc.

Different sets contain different modeling accessories. These can be embossed rolling pins, cutting molds, a syringe, bas-relief shapes and much more. And, of course, the modeling mass itself.

This is one of the most useful purchases for any child.
