Organization of modeling in kindergarten, types and features

What types are there?

The most common types of modeling in kindergarten:

• Object modeling is intended for depicting single objects, such as dishes, animals and people. The child, using all kinds of methods and techniques, learns to give plastic material its final form.
• Story modeling is designed to develop three-dimensional three-dimensional thinking in a child. Plot modeling is a long and labor-intensive process, because the child needs to sculpt from plasticine not one, but several three-dimensional figures, connected by a common story, idea, and performing some action in relation to each other. We can say that the baby learns to create his own plasticine fairy tale, choosing the plot he likes best. Such modeling is installed on a rigid stand on which figures sculpted from plasticine will be installed.
• Decorative modeling in kindergarten allows a child in the younger group to become familiar with and learn how to make simple figures and objects made in the style of folk applied art. So, a child who has already learned object modeling, showing imagination, diligence and turning on his imagination, will turn ordinary plasticine dishes into elegant ones, decorated with decorative patterns. Such dishes can already be used to decorate your home and give as a gift. A figurine made in folk applied style will teach your child to distinguish between styles in art and awaken interest in learning new things.

So, stage by stage, the little man from the younger group learns perseverance, develops his imagination, and fine motor skills work at full speed. The child learns to hold stacks in his hands and use them correctly when sculpting. Learns to touch and visually distinguish different materials for modeling (clay, plasticine), even non-traditional ones, such as salt dough. Receives first mathematical knowledge, such as size, shape. Recognizes the appearance and name of various geometric shapes. We can safely say that aesthetic education has begun!

About the benefits

Undoubtedly, sculpting has a wide range of benefits. So, this is not just an exciting pastime - it is also an opportunity to develop the baby’s fine motor skills, and therefore his speech, because the brain centers responsible for the movement of fingers and the ability to speak are nearby and closely interconnected.

Let's present the benefits of modeling in the form of a table:

And, of course, most children love to sculpt, so a good mood is guaranteed!

You can start such activities with children over two years old, but it is very important to take a responsible approach to the choice of material - it must be safe and non-toxic.

Parents should not limit the child’s desire to sculpt, but should, on the contrary, help him and provide him with freedom to choose the material. Next, we’ll look at what you can sculpt from, besides plasticine.

Tools needed for the lesson

Modeling, like every type of art, requires special training and specific tools. In kindergarten, each child should have his own individual devices for this activity.

So, what will you need:

• modeling board;
• material from which the figures will be sculpted (plasticine, dough, clay);
• water;
• clean rags;
• stacks.

And also a prerequisite is the small palms and fingers of a smart child, whether he is in the younger group or the older one - it doesn’t matter!

During the lesson, the teacher will first tell the kids in the group an entertaining, and maybe an instructive story about a hero who will later be asked to sculpt.

After the fairy tale, the teacher, in a playful way, will show each child in the group the already molded main character of the fairy tale. Kids will immediately want to independently sculpt the same character out of plasticine, but their own, individual one! And here the teacher faces a difficult task: to gradually tell, show, explain and teach each child:

1. Using various techniques, independently make individual blanks of various shapes from plasticine.
2. Using known methods, connect the newly sculpted parts together into one three-dimensional figure.
3. Teach kids to place ready-made figures on a special stand (board), using already known methods.
4. If the group lesson is supposed to be plot-based, then it is necessary to teach the child to come up with or choose a plot for his composition, plan where each character will be, what he will look like, what will happen between the characters in the plot, and then begin making individual parts. Such an activity will take more than one lesson, so for unfinished compositions it is necessary to find a place where the work will wait for its next “incarnation”.
5. During the decorative lesson, the teacher will teach the kids, using fairly simple techniques (rolling a flagellum, a ball), to decorate a ready-made “freshly sculpted” object in a folk-applied style.

So, step by step, lesson by lesson, kids will learn to create, receive real aesthetic pleasure, and discover the world of the most beautiful fine arts.

A popular recipe for salted play dough

It will be very interesting and useful for children to try to “play” with real dough, only salted. Many will imitate their mother and try to make their favorite dumplings (with cherries, cottage cheese - who likes which ones), others will start creating children's dishes, and still others will start with the most difficult thing - shapes! The most interesting thing is that salt dough can be either plain white or colorful multi-colored. In the second case, gouache paints will come to help the teacher. By adding them a little to the already divided pieces of dough, you can open up a whole palette of colors for creativity for your baby and awaken his imagination. The soft dough, having been crushed, rolled and rocked, will finally acquire its final shape, breaking out of small, tired hands.

So, what is salted play dough made from? The ingredients are very simple and, best of all, they are available to everyone; you just need to know the exact proportions - and everything will work out!

For one glass of flour, take the same amount of ordinary kitchen salt, mix everything well, add ½ glass of ordinary cold tap water and one tablespoon of sunflower oil. Mix everything thoroughly on a board until it has a homogeneous consistency; if desired, divide it into pieces and add paints of the required colors to them. Then you need to place the finished dough in the refrigerator for 3 hours (after putting it in a plastic bag). The dough will “reach” there, and it will be a pleasure to sculpt from it!

When working with salt dough, in addition to already familiar tools, you must additionally prepare an oilcloth, a glass of water and brushes. Using a brush dipped in water, the separately sculpted parts of the figure will be connected to each other. You need to sculpt from salt dough with dry hands, and the methods and techniques of sculpting are completely no different from those used when working with plasticine. The dough dries out quickly, so it’s better to take the pieces out of the plastic bag in parts.

The finished figure must be thoroughly dried. To do this, you can use the oven at home (low heat for 30-60 minutes, depending on the volume of the figure) or the usual sun! The figurine will dry in the sun for a long time, up to 5 days, you will need to be patient!

Features of modeling in kindergarten

Modeling in kindergarten from plasticine, clay or dough plays a significant role in the education and upbringing of preschool children; it is also a type of art.

Modeling for children is part of the fine arts, with the help of which they display their emotions and the real world around them. Children convey their feelings of worldview. Most often, children's creative materials are clay, plasticine, and modeling dough. They are the most convenient for children due to their plastic properties. Even the simplest object or figure is creativity for children.

During the creation of his creative work, the child receives great pleasure from the plastic properties and volumetric shape of the materials used. When sculpting, a child develops his constructive abilities, eye and precision of hand movements. If the teacher organizes the lesson correctly, then modeling will become a favorite hobby for the child. This type of development of creative ability in children aims not only to develop certain skills and abilities in children, but also, as a priority, to prepare the child for school.

Modeling in kindergarten is used as an aesthetic education for children. Preschoolers are capable of a lot; their abilities depend on knowledge and skills, as well as age characteristics. Taking into account children's age, the shapes of objects and images in their creative solutions are significantly simplified. For example, a person or animal has a round head, cylindrical limbs and torso. Basically, more attention is paid to small, minor details: fins, ears, tail, nose, etc. The child’s main goal is not to create an exact image, but a similar one that he can play with. Most often, children choose to sculpt images from familiar animals that surround them or images of fairy-tale animals from book pictures.

In older preschool age, children already begin to realize what can be beautifully sculpted, and what can be better drawn or made from other materials. During classes, children also master another form of modeling, when they use natural materials and other available materials to create creative works, both to create additional accessories for their figures, and by replacing or supplementing their main components.

There are three types of modeling used in kindergartens:

1. Object modeling - the child sculpts a separate object. For children, this is sometimes easier than drawing. Here one figure or image of a person, animal or other object is used, but children begin to produce constructive or plant objects faster and better;
2. Plot modeling - depicting the actions of several characters or characters and objects. Subject modeling differs from drawing; there is no background on the plane, zooming out or zooming in with a close-up.

In sculpting, figures have more realistic dimensions and do not depend on the plane. Basically, preschoolers depict a pair of object images that are in a static state. Children do not yet know how to convey other states of images in their creations and do not like to develop plots. For children to play, two characters are enough with whom they will play and even communicate. In the communication between the two characters, there is a plot episode that the child himself comes up with as the action progresses. Already as events develop and acquire greater interest, the child begins to unfold the plot and enrich it with the help of new characters and objects.

Along with play and hobby, plot modeling is a very labor-intensive process for a child. The child will have to create several characters, place them according to the plan and complement the plot with surrounding objects. This is a full-fledged composition presented on a specific platform.

In the child’s mind, at the initial stage, the platform is an ordinary plane on which objects are placed; they are not puzzled by how the bottom should look, attention is concentrated only on the images themselves.

This task faces the teacher of any kindergarten group. He must teach children to design the entire composition: to make a three-dimensional stand with decorative elements, and to logically place objects on the stand correctly.

For example, on a stand there is sculpted soil, grass, flowers, a hole where a fox or mouse lives, a tree with a squirrel. The composition should be similar to a plot from a fairy tale or the surrounding reality. Composition is not only about individual images, but about the relationship between their actions. Plot modeling is only feasible for preschoolers of middle and senior groups, due to its multifaceted diversity, and this requires the necessary knowledge and ideas.

3. Decorative modeling - directly related to the aesthetic education of preschool children, as the teacher introduces and teaches them the creativity of folk craftsmen of various cultures. Modeling is accompanied by painting on the products. Children not only enjoy it, but it also expands their cultural knowledge and fantasy world. Preschoolers love intricate vessels, household items, and dishes with bright colors and a unique appearance.

Older preschoolers, after training with a teacher, are able to create decorative items themselves, which they can play with and even use as design objects to decorate a room, or simply as souvenirs.

With the help of decorative modeling, children learn to think, plan and create sketches of their ideas. Preschoolers should be taught to see beauty with their own eyes. An ordinary salt shaker, mug or vase in the hands of a child, according to the plan and its implementation, can turn into a swan, a plant, or simply become a decorative work of art. Preschoolers use ordinary plasticine, clay and additional accessories to turn an extraordinary thing into something beautiful. In the course of their work, children not only learn how to sculpt, but also how to properly hold and use various tools.

In addition to all the listed advantages, modeling from plasticine develops flexibility, sensitivity and motor skills of the child’s fingers.

Modeling is necessary for the development of sensations, perceptions and visual representations in children. It is believed that vision is leading in the knowledge of objects in the real world, but in the first stages of image formation in children, the support for vision is the touch of an object.

THEM. Sechenov O.

In modeling, the child must reflect the material properties of bodies - their volume, shape, density, texture. This is possible only when there are already tactile traces in the child’s experience, since the visual reflection of these qualities of an object, unlike the tactile one, is indirect.

Children's visual activities include activities such as drawing, modeling, and appliqué. Each of these types has its own capabilities in reproducing the child’s ideas about the world around him.

The working material for modeling can be clay, plasticine or salt dough. The uniqueness of modeling lies in the fact that with the help of this type of activity the shape of an object is conveyed in three dimensions.

Children enjoy sculpting people, animals, dishes, vehicles, vegetables, fruits, and toys. The items they create are used in play activities.

During preparation for modeling, the child receives a lot of knowledge about the subject (name, shape, structure, color, purpose). At the same time, his vocabulary and coherent speech are enriched and developed, with the help of which he can describe the image from memory. This contributes to the development of his thinking, attention, imagination and other processes.

During classes, the child receives information about modeling methods and learns how to do it himself. Based on his experience, he tries to independently solve educational problems, and over time, this independence develops into creativity.

In the process of sculpting, more than in any other activity, you can achieve maximum activity of both hands, develop and strengthen your fingers, especially the thumbs, index, and middle ones. To master the sculpting technique, a child needs to develop special movements regarding their strength, accuracy, tempo, direction, smoothness, and rhythm. These qualities will help the preschooler master various types of educational and work activities in the future.

While familiarizing yourself with an object, the child learns to understand its beauty. He himself begins to convey in the sculpting its individual expressive features, tries to carefully treat the surface of the product, decorates it with ornaments, etc.

Modeling helps to cultivate curiosity in the visual arts. The child sets a definite goal for himself and brings the work he has started to the end, and this contributes to the development of organization, determination and perseverance, and disciplines him.

Adults need to remember that they must teach a child to sculpt, and not make him a sculptor, and sculpting is not an end in itself, but only a means of comprehensive development and education.

For children three to four years old, it is recommended to sculpt: columns, oranges, cherries, bagels, pretzels, pies, dumplings, etc. Modeling techniques, such as rolling out plasticine with straight and circular movements of the hands, flattening plasticine (sticks, bagels, pretzels, birds, tumblers, mushrooms), pulling back small parts (beak, tail, etc.).

To work with children of five years old, it is recommended to sculpt: an apple, a carrot, a bowl, a plate, a cup, a glass, etc., where the sculpting of objects is based on the shape of a cylinder, a cone (vegetables, fruits, toys, etc.), sculpting techniques such as rounding and pointing (carrot, airplane), pressing (basket, cup, saucer), bending edges, connecting parts, dividing plasticine into parts and connecting them by applying, pressing, smearing.

For children six to seven years old, it is recommended to sculpt: parsley, chicken, duck, bird, cat, dog, fox, bear, etc., which show different methods of sculpting: constructive, plastic, combined; techniques for smoothing and tightly connecting parts.

Three types of modeling are used for activities with children:

• subject;
• plot;
• decorative.

Object modeling in kindergarten is intended to recreate individual objects. Children enthusiastically sculpt figures of people and animals. Only the fastest they master the image of objects of plant and structural form. In connection with this fact, kindergarten teachers are faced with the task of teaching children the ability to depict the key shape of objects in modeling and the most striking features characteristic of them.

Subject modeling in kindergarten is accompanied by a large amount of work, because it is necessary to sculpt each individual object included in the composition, give it the desired position on a stand or without, and then supplement the modeling with some details.

The teacher needs to teach children the ability to make a dense, fairly voluminous stand and logically, beautifully distribute objects on it. This will make it possible to successfully complete the task of creating a compositional plot.

Most often, the plot for modeling is episodes from the surrounding environment, individual episodes of certain fairy tales and narratives. The expressiveness of plot compositions is given not only by how skillfully the children depict the form, but also by the way they combine the figures into one composition by depicting the action.

Decorative modeling in kindergarten. Introducing children to folk applied art is one of the ways of aesthetic education; in the process of learning its various types, in particular the small decorative plastic arts of folk craftsmen, children can acquire many useful skills. For example, beautiful assembled forms representing animals, dolls, birds with a specific colorful painting amuse children and have a positive effect on the formation of their artistic taste, enriching children's judgment and imagination.

When working with children of different ages, you can use the following modeling methods: constructive, plastic and combined.

Constructive is the simplest of them. The object is molded from separate parts. For example, a bird: first the body, head, and stand are sculpted, and then all the parts are connected and the figurine is given characteristic features. Children use the constructive method of modeling in the younger group of kindergarten. This method is used in the future in all age groups, but the number of parts increases, and the methods of connecting parts become more complicated.

The plastic method is more complex. This modeling is made from a whole piece of plasticine, from which all the small details, parts of the product, etc. are pulled out. Children begin to sculpt in this way from the middle group (vegetables, fruits, toys). For example, while sculpting a mouse from a common piece of plasticine, a child creates the desired shape, draws out its muzzle, ears, tail, paws and, using a stick, gives it characteristic features. Children sculpt using plastic methods throughout preschool age. The collection presents examples of making objects using this method, such as a duck, a pig, etc.

The combined method combines modeling from a whole piece of plasticine and from individual parts or parts. For example, from a piece of plasticine we sculpt part of a chicken: the body, the head, and we prepare the small parts and the stand separately, then we connect them.

In addition, when making birds, animals, and people, relief modeling techniques are used: small pieces of clay or plasticine are placed on the main form, and then smeared with a stick or fingers. After which the product is given the desired shape, these are: tit, bullfinch, snow maiden, grapes, etc. The working material for modeling can be clay, plasticine or salt dough.

Basic sculpting techniques

Modeling techniques

Description

Pinching off

Separating small pieces from a large piece of plasticine using the thumb and index finger. To do this, first pinch a small piece from the edge of a large piece and then tear it off.

Flattening

Compressing a piece to make it flat. A small piece is flattened with two fingers - the thumb and forefinger. The middle piece is pressed down using the palm of your hand and a flat surface.

Rolling up

Forming large or small balls by using circular movements between straight palms or palm and table.

Indentation

By pressing the thumb or index finger on the lump, a small indentation is made

Sharpening

With one or two or three fingers, press the piece on all sides until you get a sharp end.

Rolling out

Forming a piece into “sausages” (cylindrical shapes of different sizes) by rolling it back and forth between straight palms or palm and table.

Compound

Pressing the parts of the craft one against the other, then lightly pressing them together and carefully smoothing the joint.

Topping

Using the thumb and forefinger, a small edge is pulled back and sharpened.

Recommendations for working with plasticine:

Before class, warm up hard plasticine in a container with hot tap water (but do not pour boiling water over it).

When working with plasticine, you should use thick cardboard as a base, not thin sheets of paper, so that it does not deform when performing techniques of pressing, smearing, and smoothing the surfaces of the objects being created.

To ensure that the picture does not lose its attractiveness over time, the base with or without a pre-drawn outline should be covered with tape. This will help avoid the appearance of greasy stains, it will be easier to work on a slippery surface, and using a stack it will be easier to remove excess plasticine without leaving marks.

There must be a cloth hand napkin on the child’s desk so that he can use it at any time, and after completing work, first wipe his hands with a napkin and then wash them with soap and water.

Working with plasticine requires physical effort, so in the process of doing it, children need rest in the form of physical education and warm-ups.

In older preschool age, when children have mastered all the traditional techniques of working with plasticine, you can offer modeling on a frame, using a three-core wire as a base.

It is believed that vision is the leader in the knowledge of objects in the real world, but in the first stages of image formation in children, the support is the touch of an object. THEM. Sechenov O. What can give a better idea of ​​an object than to create this object from a nondescript piece of clay or plasticine, making it recognizable and attractive. This explains the great interest of children of all ages in modeling.

Equipment and materials for modeling classes in kindergarten

Typically, kindergarten groups use plasticine, but the possibilities of working with it are limited. The most effective way to use clay in creative work. Fat clay is best. You can sculpt several large objects from it, create objects with subsequent heat treatment for immortalization and paint them. The plasticity of clay can be adjusted with water, which makes the work easier for children.

In education, it is more practical to use clay, since plasticine is intended for small products, and small forms are not able to convey the fullness and clarity of the lines of the details of the figure. Using plasticine complicates activities with young children, since it is quite hard and needs to be constantly kneaded to make it soft, and small children are not always able to do this. Plasticine modeling is more suitable for children with developed finger muscles, at an older age of 5-7 years, but its use should be limited to only a small number of activities.

If the kindergarten has enough budgetary funds, then clay can be purchased at the store, but in rural areas it is easier to dig it up. The clay layer is located directly under the fertile soil layer, so this will not be particularly difficult. Preparing the mixture for modeling is also not difficult. You just need to add water to the clay and knead it, and then put it in a thick cellophane bag, and then the working material can be stored for a whole year. To fire clay, you only need to spend money on a muffle furnace. You will also need paint. Thus, after processing, children's crafts will turn into real ceramic products and souvenirs. Clay itself in its raw form is not a load-bearing material and to make products you will need to stock up on frames.

Ordinary sticks or pieces of wire can serve as frames. The frame must be made in such a way that it can be removed from the product after the clay dries, otherwise the clay on the frame may crack when drying. To draw out individual elements and recesses, you can use plastic knives like in plasticine, spatulas and nails. The better and more conveniently the place for a child’s creative activity is organized, the better the quality of his work. Usually boards are used for the working surface, but it is better to have a rotary machine for ease of working on the product from any side.

In the end, I would like to add that modeling in kindergarten is important for preschoolers for the development of sensory perception. Children must not only see, but also touch objects.

Clay

Experts recommend using this material without fail, even in parallel with plasticine, since the clay is not colored and does not distract attention directly from the form. This pliable and soft material allows you to create a variety of figures, including dishes, people, and animals. Then they can be painted in bright colors to create an unusual composition. The key advantage of the material, which distinguishes it favorably from plasticine, is the ability to store the craft for a long time.

Next, we will consider several clay options for children's creativity.

Polymer

Sold in almost every art supply store, it is affordable, pliable, but becomes hard after baking. Available in a variety of colors, including bright ones, to suit your baby’s taste. No preliminary preparation is required - the material is already ready for use, all that remains is to sit down and start sculpting.

Please note that children should not be given the opportunity to work with clay unattended, since very few children will be able to avoid the temptation to put the bright substance in their mouth.

Natural

The first advantage is the absence of impurities and dyes. This is an environmentally friendly product, packaged in bags. And this is also its main drawback - the clay will need to be kneaded before work. Most often, ordinary gray clay is used, a soft and plastic material.

Not every child will be delighted with this natural material - polymer colorful options, as a rule, are liked much more by young sculptors. But this is everyone’s personal choice; someone may like the opportunity to first sculpt a figurine and then decorate it.

Types and methods of sculpting.

Modeling in kindergarten is a visual activity, during which three-dimensional or relief images or compositions are created from plastic materials (in other words = elementary sculpture)

Features of plastic creativity.

The modeling technique is so simple that it is accessible to even young children. Plastic creativity is not only a fascinating, but also a useful activity for preschoolers. Depicting objects in modeling is easier than in drawing. There is real volume here; there is no need to resort to conventional means of expression.

Just doing sculpting:

- the child gets acquainted with the three-dimensional form of an object, the interconnectedness of its parts, in modeling the child deals with the actual form of the object, he touches it with his hands from all sides, children learn a three-dimensional method of depicting objects;

- skills of working with two hands and the ability to coordinate hand movements are formed;

-develop very actively: -fine motor skills of the fingers, which means speech,

-manual skills and abilities, hand readiness for writing,

- eye, spatial thinking;

-observation develops, because learn to look at the subject more carefully;

- the child gets acquainted with the properties of plastic materials;

-modeling can also be used as an element in the construction of buildings made of sand, clay, snow, and natural materials;

-decorative modeling acts as one of the main design components

- fashioned objects can be used in play activities

Plastic materials.

Clay. This is a natural environmentally friendly material. This is an earthy mass that when mixed with water becomes plastic. It has its own color, which depends on the substances. Oily (if there is little sand in the composition) and skinny = loam (if there is a lot of sand). To work, you need clay of medium fat content.

Before sculpting, the clay must be cleaned: pick out debris and pebbles with your hands, dry it, crush it in a tarpaulin bag with a mallet or hammer and sift it into a bucket to 1/3, then add the same amount of water, shake with a wooden stick, let it sit, carefully remove the debris floating on top and drain excess water. The swollen clay is scooped out of the bucket without touching the bottom layer (there is excess sand and heavy debris), and laid out in a layer 1-1.5 cm thick on a stack of newspapers to remove excess water. The prepared clay is kneaded by hand until it becomes plastic. It is better to store it in a plastic tank or bucket, covered with a damp cloth. Products made from unfired clay are very fragile and are afraid of water. To strengthen it, you can use office glue or PVA glue. When the clay-glue mass dries, it quickly hardens, and it is very difficult to soak it, so it is necessary to store the raw materials in a tied plastic bag for no longer than a day.

Benefits of clay for children's learning. It is monochromatic (the color is distracting, you have to immediately think through the color scheme), makes it possible to understand the integrity of the form (and this is the main visual property!). Clay is more plastic. They first sculpt from clay, only then paint. The products are stronger, plasticine is easily deformed.

Plasticine is an artificial material consisting of clay powder + wax, oils, dyes. There are sculptural plasticine (grayish shades) and children's plasticine. Sculptural plasticine is used by sculptors, artists, model makers and sculptors.

Requires preliminary preparation: it is slightly heated by placing the boxes near the heat source. In order to preserve plasticine sculptures for a long time, you can coat them with varnish, after rolling them in flour, tooth powder or chalk.

Plasticine is good to use for children 5-7 years old, when the small muscles of the hands are well developed for depicting small details (decorations, plant forms in plot modeling). Pupils of older groups should have individual ready-made sets of plasticine, the condition of which children should monitor by arranging the remaining plasticine by color.

Plastic (polymer clay) is a type of plasticine. Products made from plastic are more durable than those made from plasticine. Hardens in air or when heated.

Mukosol, or salted dough.

First method: 1 cup flour + 1/2 cup salt + 1/4 cup water (+ vegetable oil)

Second method (without salt): 1 cup of flour + 1/4 cup of water + 1 tablespoon of PVA glue (this recipe is used to prevent children from getting irritated skin on their hands from salt). Pleasant to the touch, plastic, soft, environmentally friendly, easy to wash and leaves no marks. Proper preparation of the material makes it durable, not cracking, not crumbling. Crafts made from salt dough can be painted and varnished, or the dough itself can be colored by adding food coloring when kneading.

Paper mass for modeling from finely chopped or torn paper and thickly brewed starch paste. From it you can sculpt any figures for working using the paper-plastic technique. When dry, they become hard and durable. They can be painted and then covered with varnish, glue or paraffin. Instead of paper pulp, you can also use sawdust for modeling (add baking soda, a few spoons of wood glue, sawdust to the cooled flour paste and mix). Products made from the resulting mass are dried in a warm place. The surface of such figures has a beautiful texture.

Papier-mâché is one of the artistic techniques consisting

in creating the silhouette of various objects by preliminary multi-layer pasting of them with subsequent design.

Snow and sand. One of the conditions for working with these materials is sufficient humidity. Dry sand crumbles, snow does not form in frosty weather, but as soon as these materials gain the necessary moisture, they begin to retain their given shape. Typically, products made from these materials are made in quite large sizes and are used for play. Tools for processing such sculptures also include toy spatulas, scoops, molds, etc.

Burdock. These are the inflorescences of a weed plant - burdock. Thanks to the thorns, they are well attached to each other and retain their shape for a long time. The burdock should be used as soon as it is picked, or on the same day. It is suitable for sculpting figures with an expressive, recognizable silhouette (bear cubs, elephants, squirrels, bunnies). To decorate figurines fashioned from burdock, you can use buttons, beads, plasticine, matches, threads, shreds and much more. Toys made from it can be used in games; they are stored at exhibitions for a year.

Foil

Auxiliary materials for modeling:

- boards for modeling

- machine with turntable

- stacks (wooden, metal, plastic - pointed on one side and rounded on the other, in the form of a spatula and a loop stack)

- two stable jars with hot and cold water if children are working with plasticine; napkins, cloths.

- frames (to give the figure stability, strength, to save material): sticks of different lengths and thicknesses, soft wire, paper cups, molds cut from egg containers, celluloid molds for candies, etc.

— base (cardboard, wood, glass, disks, etc.)

- beads, beads, pebbles, shells, plant seeds, bark, branches, acorns, cones, nut shells, cereals, as well as other natural and non-natural materials.

- scissors

Types of modeling

When working with children, 3 main types of modeling are used: subject, plot and decorative. Each of these types is carried out both on the instructions of the teacher and by design.

Subject (=image of individual specific objects),

Thematic (=model compositions on a specific topic) is carried out in older groups. The plot can be episodes from the surrounding life, from fairy tales and stories.

Decorative (=creation of decorative products = jewelry, folk pottery, folk toys, decorative plates (“tiles” = pottery in the form of clay tiles for cladding walls, stoves, fireplaces).

Other types of modeling:

Complex - combining different methods of modeling (we create an object, then decorate it)

Modular modeling - from a large number of identical parts (like a mosaic), for example: from balls

Modeling from plates (rectangular, square shapes) – houses, boxes

Modeling in shape using durable ready-made forms: cans, boxes, bottles, containers (from kinder)

Plasticineography is an unconventional modeling technique = “drawing” with plasticine on a horizontal surface

The shape of the molding can be: 1. volumetric and 2. relief.

1.Methods of volumetric modeling:

Constructive - the simplest. An object is molded from separate parts (like from parts of a construction set). Work begins with the main, larger one; small parts are sculpted last.) Children become familiar with this method in the younger group, and then it is used in all age groups, but the number of parts increases, and the methods of connecting parts become more complicated.

It is important here to learn how to relate the parts to each other so that they are proportionate. To sculpt paired parts, you need to prepare identical pieces.

Plastic (sculptural) - modeling from a whole piece, from which all the small parts of the product are pulled out, etc. They start with the middle group (vegetables, fruits, toys). Example: a mouse - the desired shape is created, the muzzle, ears, tail, paws are drawn out, and with the help of a stack, characteristic features are given to it. Children continue to use this method.

This requires precision movements, a good eye and a clear understanding of the shape and proportions of the object, the object of sculpting. Before starting to sculpt, the child must imagine the image, its shape, character, position in space, and pose. First, the material is given a general silhouette, after which the child gradually moves on to sculpting each part.

The combined method combines both previous methods and allows you to diversify technically plastic images. The largest parts can be made in a sculptural way, and the details can be made in a constructive way. For example, a column is made, bent into an arc, the ends lowered down are cut in a stack and moved apart. Next, other parts of the animal are attached (cat, dog, bear).

The following methods are used to sculpt dishes:

Method of indentation (in average group) = indentation in the whole piece

Belt method (st. gr.)

The ring method (flagellate, circular ridiculous) (podg.gr) consists of making thin rollers that are combined into rings that overlap each other, after which the surface of the craft is smoothed with your fingers.

Picking out stacks of clay

Pottery.

2. Relief modeling is used:

1) -When making birds, animals, people: small pieces of clay or plasticine are placed on the main form, and then smeared with a stick or fingers.

2) three-dimensional stucco image on a plane. The following types of relief are distinguished:

- bas-relief - medium-convex relief, the image protrudes less than half of its volume;

- high relief - a highly convex relief, the image protrudes above the plane of the base by more than half of its volume;

- counter-relief - deep relief, the image does not protrude above the base, but, on the contrary, goes deeper into it (= choosing clay)

Methods of design and decoration

1. pulling with modeling (beak, ears)

2. pinching (petals)

3. folding (edge ​​of the plate)

4. use of devices (rollers, combs, sharp objects)

5. addition of other materials (plasticine moldings of a different color, seeds, cereals, shells)

Modeling techniques

(there are palm and finger)

Education from a young age:

Kneading, crumpling. Repeated pressure with your hands and fingers on a piece of plasticine, “warming up” it.

Pinching off. Separating small pieces from a large piece of plasticine using the thumb and index finger. To do this, first pinch a small piece from the edge of a large piece and then tear it off.

Rolling up. Forming large and small balls using circular movements between straight palms or palm and table. Place a piece of plasticine between your palms, press lightly and perform circular movements to form a ball. The ball must be turned periodically to make it round.

Rolling out. Forming a piece into “sausages” (cylindrical shapes of different sizes) by rolling it back and forth between straight palms or palm and table. For the ball - circular movements. Roll the ball and use straight-line hand movements to transform it into a cylinder. The egg will turn out if you place your hands obliquely (at an angle) relative to each other and roll it out.

Flattening, flattening. Compressing a piece to make it flat. A small piece is flattened with two fingers - the thumb and forefinger. Use your palm to press the middle piece onto a flat surface. To get a flat cake or disk, first roll it into a ball, then squeeze it tightly between your palms, or press it against the table with your palm.

Indentation. By pressing the thumb and index finger on the lump of plasticine, a small indentation is made.

Topping. Gives a certain texture to the surface of the product, which is necessary when making small parts on a large model. To do this, use your thumb and forefinger to pull back a small edge and sharpen it.

Pulling back. It is similar to the previous technique, but after gripping the plasticine, it is pulled back and a new element or part is formed.

Education from middle age:

Pointing, pinching. With one or two fingers, press a piece of plasticine on all sides until a sharp end is obtained.

Smoothing, smoothing. Used to create a smooth transition from one part to another when connecting and for rounding. Performed with fingers or a stack. At the same time, you can remove excess plasticine

Cutting. Dividing a bar with a stack or cutter into separate pieces.

Compound. Applying and lightly pressing parts together. In this case, it is necessary to balance the force and prevent deformation of the parts.

Smearing. The parts stick to each other and are smoothed and lubricated with the index finger. In this case, plasticine will transfer from one part to another.

Twisting. Shaping into a spiral.

Nalepa. Design, addition of the product with individual small details.

Scratching. Scraping a layer of plasticine with a sharp object. It can be multi-layered.

USEFUL TIPS

When starting to sculpt, the plasticine needs to be kneaded a little, but not very much, otherwise it will become sticky and unpleasant.

The modeling of an object begins with the main, larger part. For example, when sculpting an animal, they first sculpt the body and head, then compare them in size and connect them. Next, they begin sculpting the limbs. Small details are sculpted last.

To attach small parts to large ones, it is convenient to use a stack. For example, indentations are made in a stack on the body or on the head, and then small parts are inserted into these indentations - nose, eyes, tail, ears, and so on. The stack is also convenient for cutting off excess plasticine and leveling surfaces.

In order for the sculpted work to be strong and not fall apart, it is necessary to tightly press one part of the toy to another and cover the place of fastening so that the seam is not visible.

Modeling technique in the middle group

Exercises with plastic materials prepare a child’s hand for mastering the most important skill in the near future - writing. Regular sculpting exercises develop hand flexibility and precision of movements. The kids create crafts by studying various modeling techniques.

Table: methods and techniques of sculpting

In the middle group, children master the constructive method of modeling: sculpting and combining parts into a single image

Types of modeling

1. Subject modeling. In the middle group, children sculpt two- and three-dimensional objects on a plane. They try to convey the shape of familiar objects as accurately as possible. There is always a sample in the classroom - a figurine or toy.

   Object modeling also implies the image of living creatures, for example, fish

2. Subject modeling. In the fifth year of life, thinking abilities rapidly develop. The child compares objects in the surrounding world, discovers connections and interactions between them. The first subjects are collective compositions “Round Dance of the Hares”, “Bird Yard”.

   Collective works have a simple plot, for example, “Ducklings swim on the pond”

3. Decorative modeling. In the middle group, this type of modeling can be used to decorate “Vase” and “Plate” crafts.

   Children 4–5 years old learn to decorate surfaces with a relief pattern, for example, as in the lesson “Miracle Flower”

Materials and tools

• Plasticine is the most malleable material. It is possible to introduce children to clay, but it is recommended to sculpt with it in the senior and preparatory groups (with children 5–7 years old). Occasionally, Play Doh plasticine may be used in classes. This is an expensive material, but bright and unusual. You can use it to decorate gifts for mothers on March 8, for example.

  Save leftover playdough from their sets - children will use them later

• The stack is an assistant instrument that children become familiar with in the middle group. The teacher shows how to hold the stack and how to use it to cut off a piece of plasticine/dough. The stack will be needed to complement crafts with cuts or simple patterns (dots, lines). They represent the eyes, mouth, and nose on the faces of animals.

  For the middle group, it is recommended to purchase plastic stacks with a rounded end

Unconventional sculpting techniques

• Plasticine mosaic - laying out plasticine balls on a drawn image. In technical terms, the use of this technique in classes in the middle group does not give anything new to children. It is appropriate to do plasticine mosaics during decorative modeling. For example, children will decorate plastic plates or lids with mosaics.

  Mosaic is great for decorating plastic and cardboard surfaces

• Plasticineography - drawing or painting over contours by smearing and/or sticking plasticine. In the middle group, small pictures are selected on a thick sheet of paper or cardboard. The task for children 4–5 years old is to “color” the drawing with a thin layer of plasticine, without going beyond the contours. Children choose their own colors for plasticine printing.

  Children use plasticine to color simple images, for example, a seven-flowered flower.

• Testoplasty - modeling from salt dough. In the middle group, crafts “Treats for dolls/friends” and “Caterpillar” are made using this technique. Salt dough is a wonderful alternative to plasticine, a completely natural material. The teacher prepares the dough immediately before class.
  

  Salt dough recipe: 1/2 tbsp. cold water, 1 tbsp. flour, 1 tbsp. salt Stir until smooth.

  You can add food coloring to salt dough

Salt dough tends to crumble while working. For children 4–5 years old, this material cannot be called pliable. Therefore, to the mass obtained according to the classic recipe, I add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (odorless). The dough becomes more flexible.

Task differentiation

During the school year, the teacher evaluates the effectiveness of classes. In September, January and May, children's visual abilities are monitored. The level of mastery of practical skills for each student is determined.

Practical skills are formed and consolidated unevenly among children of the same age. This is fine. The teacher’s task is to create favorable conditions for the development of each student. Taking into account personal qualities and the pace of mastering modeling techniques, the teacher develops multi-level tasks.

During the lesson, the child gains new experience and positive emotions; tasks are selected according to their level of development.

Table: examples of tasks of different difficulty levels

Multi-level tasks are necessary for each child to demonstrate their skills and feel successful.

"Traditional and non-traditional modeling techniques"

Traditional and non-traditional modeling techniques.

Compiled by: teacher of MBDOU "DSOV No. 39"

According to the Federal State Educational Standards program for the educational field "Artistic and Aesthetic Development", the main task is aimed at developing in children an aesthetic attitude to the world, the accumulation of aesthetic ideas and images, the development of aesthetic taste, artistic abilities, and the development of various types of artistic activities. One of the directions of this educational field is “artistic creativity”. The main goal is to teach children to create creative works through various types of artistic and productive activities.

The more diverse children's activities are, the more successful the child's diversified development is, his potential capabilities and first manifestations of creativity are realized. In traditional pedagogy, drawing, modeling, and design are called productive activities; children create a “product” - a drawing, an appliqué, a mini-sculpture. Let's focus our attention on this type of activity as modeling.

Modeling is the most tangible form of artistic creativity. The child not only sees what he created, but also touches it, picks it up and changes it as necessary. In modeling, the scale of crafts is not determined by the format of the sheet, as in drawing and appliqué, or the size of the cubes, as in construction. It depends each time only on the child’s plan, on his skill and individual characteristics. In modeling, creative tendencies and abilities are realized even with a minimum of materials. From one lump of plasticine you can create an infinite number of images, each time finding new options and methods, even without the participation of a teacher and parent.

Modeling is a type of artistic activity that has many aspects. Based on content and theme, they distinguish between plot, subject, decorative and complex modeling.

In story modeling, children convey story compositions in which individual images are connected in one way or another: by meaning, by placement in space, by proportions, by dynamics, etc. In object modeling, children sculpt individual specific images. In decorative modeling, children create decorative items. In complex modeling, children arbitrarily or to solve a given artistic problem combine different methods of modeling.

According to the method of creating an image, the following types of modeling are distinguished: from memory, from idea, from design, from life, from a diagram, from a drawing, from a verbal description.

According to the way children are organized and the nature of their activities, modeling can be: individual, collective - in co-creation with adults or peers, complex (integrated), when modeling is combined with other types of artistic and cognitive activities, as well as with various games.

You can sculpt from carved plastic, environmentally friendly materials that are easy to handle, acquire the intended shape during the sculpting process and retain it for at least some time. These are clay, plasticine, dough, snow, wet sand, paper pulp.

Clay is the most plastic natural material suitable for modeling. It is elastic, neutral in color, which is important for the perception of shape. Old clay crafts can be reused. To do this, they need to be crushed, filled with water, etc. The suitability of clay for modeling is checked as follows: a small piece of clay is kneaded, rolled into a “sausage” and rolled into a ring. If the ring is cracked, it means the clay is dry and needs to be sprinkled with water or a little vegetable oil added. If the clay is too wet, you can leave it in the air for a while to allow some of the water to evaporate. The fashioned crafts are dried, fired, and then primed and decorated with paints.

Plasticine is an artificial material specially created for modeling and modeling. Plasticine is not as flexible as clay, but it has its advantages. A large selection of colors makes it possible to create multi-colored crafts and compositions.

Dough is another accessible material that is easy and enjoyable to sculpt with. And the dough is easy to wash off by hand. Crafts made from salt dough look like real masterpieces. But crafts made from salt dough need to be dried for a very long time and well. They can be varnished and stored for many, many years.

Children's creative work largely depends on the chosen modeling method. With the constructive sculpting method, the image is created from separate parts, like parts of a construction set (hence the name).

The sculptural method is sometimes also called plastic or sculpting from a whole piece. Sculptural is a more complex method of sculpting compared to constructive. Children usually need some explanation and demonstration of the technique.

The combined method combines two methods: constructive and sculptural. It allows you to combine the features of modeling from a whole piece and from individual parts.

Crafts made using the relief method represent a three-dimensional molded image on a plane. There are the following types of relief: bas-relief, high relief, counter-relief.

Work done in a modular manner is reminiscent of putting together a three-dimensional mosaic or constructing from identical parts. Another original way of sculpting is sculpting from rings. This method was used by folk craftsmen - potters.

Modeling from plates. Using this rarely used method, you can rationally, economically and fairly quickly create voluminous, hollow crafts. And modeling on the form. When, for example, plasticine is rolled out in an even layer, it is wrapped around the mold, the excess is cut off, the edges are joined and the seam is smoothed. Decorate with moldings or cut-out patterns.

The use of additional materials and tools depends on the material from which the work will be performed. This is a modeling board; stacks – wooden or plastic; napkins – paper and fabric; a bowl of water for wetting your fingers and napkins when sculpting with clay. Natural materials: shells, pebbles of different shapes and colors, leaves, fruits, branches, seeds, feathers. Factory produced stamps. Household items that give an imprint or imprint (corks, felt-tip pen caps, etc.). Cardboard, boxes, jars, lids, straws (cocktail), beads, buttons. Molds for dough or for playing with sand.

The most popular material used by teachers when working with children is plasticine. Modeling with plasticine is a type of art that is available for classes in kindergarten and school, as well as in club work and in the family. This material also arouses great interest among children. Using an unconventional technique for working with plasticine - plasticineography.

The concept of “plasticineography” has two semantic roots: “graphite” means to create, draw, and the first half of the word “plasticine” implies the material with which the plan is executed.

Plasticineography is a new type of decorative and applied art. It is the creation of stucco paintings depicting more or less convex, semi-volume objects on a horizontal surface. The main material is plasticine. It is possible to use combined techniques. For example, decorating the surface with beads, plant seeds, and natural materials. In some cases, using the plasticineography technique, a product is modified, which leads to the creation of original works. For example, a landscape is graphically depicted on a flat surface, and foreground details are depicted using plasticineography.

By doing plasticineography, general and fine motor skills of the hands develop, which in turn is one of the main stimulators of a child’s brain activity. The better the baby works with his fingers, the better he develops, the better he speaks and thinks.

Plasticineography makes it possible to solve not only practical problems, but also educational ones, which in general allows for the comprehensive development of a child’s personality. Children not only gain knowledge, skills, and abilities, but also at the same time consolidate the information received in direct educational activities in all educational areas of the “From Birth to School” program.

During plasticineography classes, children develop mental processes: attention, memory, imagination, thinking, perception, spatial orientation, sensorimotor coordination, that is, those significant functions that are necessary for successful learning at school, as well as creativity. Children learn to plan their work and complete it. Children are taught a culture of communication, norms of behavior, cognitive interest, independence, self-confidence, individuality, initiative, and the ability to work in co-creation.

“Plasticine” painting can rightfully be considered as a unique technique in modeling. Children are delighted to discover and create new colors and shades on their own. This enriches and diversifies the palette of plasticine, bringing modeling closer to painting. Conventionally, two methods can be distinguished: incomplete and complete mixing of pieces of plasticine of different colors in one lump. When different colors are not completely mixed, the result is a “marbled” color. When different colors are completely mixed, new colors or shades are obtained. It is necessary to show children a rational mixing technique: pinch off or cut pieces of the desired color, roll a piece of each color into a roller, connect the rollers and roll into one roller, fold this roller in half and roll out again, fold and roll out again. This operation must be continued until a uniform color is obtained. But first you can experiment with watercolor paints. This will help you learn that when mixed, yellow and red produce orange, blue and yellow produce green, and red and blue produce violet. Experience with gouache clearly shows that white helps create a whole range of shades of any color. You just have to change the proportions. The more white, the softer and lighter the color.

The advantage of plasticineography over sculpting three-dimensional figures is that a very beautiful and vivid plot can be created on a plane, and much less material will be needed.

When working with plasticine, a number of difficulties may arise:

plasticine that sits for a long time becomes hard, it is difficult to knead it and prepare it for work, especially with children’s fingers;

Plasticine contains fatty components, so greasy stains appear on paper or other bases over time.

All these troubles can be avoided if you follow the following recommendations;

Warm up hard plasticine before direct educational activities.

When working with plasticine, you should use thick cardboard as a base, not thin sheets of paper, so that it does not deform when performing techniques of pressing, smearing, smoothing,

flattening while securing an object to a horizontal surface. It is better to use varnished cardboard.

To ensure that the picture does not lose its attractiveness over time, the base with or without a pre-drawn outline should be covered with tape. This will help avoid the appearance of greasy stains. It is easier to work on a slippery surface and using a stack it is easier to remove excess plasticine without leaving marks. The contours in this case are made with a regular felt-tip pen, which can also be easily erased with a damp cloth if the child suddenly makes a mistake in depicting the object. If it is not possible to cover the base with tape, the outline is drawn with a simple pencil.

If the work is performed as a gift or to decorate a group room, it is recommended to cover the surface of the composition made of plasticine with colorless varnish. The plasticine under the varnish film hardens over time, the product becomes more durable and retains its brightness, and it is easier to remove dust from the varnished surface.

There must be a cloth wet napkin for hands on the child’s desk so that he can use it at any time, and after completing the work, first wipe his hands with a napkin and then wash them with soap and water.

Working with plasticine requires physical effort, so in the process of doing it, children need rest in the form of physical education and warm-ups. When carrying out direct educational activities, it is important that it contains not only educational information, but is also full of games, physical education, finger gymnastics, game situations,

Plasticineography should be taught in order of increasing complexity: it is better to start with simple, small-sized images and gradually move on to creating more complex ones. By making plasticine images, children gradually master the techniques of “drawing” with plasticine, namely: pinching, rolling, unrolling, flattening, sticking, pressing, smearing, pressing, smearing, smearing. All types of plasticine printing are successfully used: direct, stained glass, contour, multilayer, modular, mosaic, textured. Children will gradually learn to create interesting thematic pictures with their own hands, which they can give to their loved ones and friends. If you successfully master the technique of drawing with plasticine, you can perform group work.

You can store children's masterpieces made on cardboard in regular files, stapled in a folder. Can be beautifully framed.

How to make a cow from plasticine

Let's take a step-by-step look at how to make a cow from plasticine. We propose to try to sculpt three versions of cows, first we will sculpt the cow Zorka, then we will start sculpting the Cool Cow, and finally, another diagram of how to sculpt a cow. You can also find even more instructions for various crafts on our website in the Plasticine Crafts menu.

We sculpt the cow Zorka from plasticine

In order to make Zorka the cow we will need: brown, black, orange and yellow plasticine.

1. Roll brown and orange balls. 2. Stick a lighter ball as a nose piece to the second piece. 3. Glue the eyes, pierce the nostrils with the head of a match, and cut out a smile with a stack. 4. Be sure to make horns, because the cow must have them. Attach the gray pieces to the head. 5. Attach symmetrical ears just below the horns. To make them, form thin cakes and press them on both sides with your fingers.

6. Pull out another large brown piece into an oval. 7. Press down on the body with your fingers, creating a characteristic relief. Stretch your neck.

8. Simple brown sticks will replace the animal’s legs, but it is advisable to disguise matches or toothpicks inside to make the finished product more stable. This is especially true if you use soft plasticine; such a mass is unlikely to support a rather massive body. 9. Attach gray hooves to the ends of the legs.

10. Attach the legs to the body and smooth out the plasticine with your fingers. 11. Make a cow’s udder from beige plasticine, because it is this detail that distinguishes a cow from a bull.

12. Pull a piece of brown plasticine into a thin long tail. Attach a beige tassel to the end. 13. Connect the head to the body. 14. The plasticine cow is ready.

How to make a cool cow

To sculpt this cow we will use white and black plasticine, as well as a little yellow and purple.

We will need the following preparations:

1. First, twist a ball from a third of the white plasticine - this will be the head. Then we will smoke a small ball of yellow, this will be our horns. 2. Then we will twist three small black balls; these will be the ears and bangs on the forehead. 3. Next, twist the balls for the eyes: two white and two small black, as well as a purple one. 4. Now we will twist the remaining white plasticine into a ball for the body. And three small black balls for spots on the body. 5. Now take more white plasticine and roll 4 identical balls for the legs. And 4 small black ones for the cow's hooves.

Now let's start connecting the parts:

1. First, let's make the head: take a ball for the head and make a pear-shaped figure out of it as shown in the picture. Then roll a sausage, narrowed at the ends from a yellow ball, then bend it as shown in the figure and attach it to the head. Then make nostrils by pressing them with a match.

2. Next we proceed to the ears and bangs. Roll three black balls into sausages, tapered to one side. We crush them with our fingers, you should get droplets. Cut out one droplet as shown in the picture. And we do everything to the head of our cow: the ears are behind the horns, and the bangs are on the horns.

3. We move on to sculpting eyes from plasticine: roll up a sausage from purple plasticine and press it with your finger. Then we glue the eyes onto it, first white and then black. And we glue this entire structure onto the head. Our cow's head is ready.

4. Let's move on to sculpting the body. From a large white ball for the body we make a pear as in the picture. And from three small black balls we make cakes and glue them on the body, in any place where you like. Next, we’ll stick toothpicks into the body so that they stick out a little and we’ll put the head on them.

5. From the last preparations we make sausages. We bend the white ones, you can do it like in the picture, or you can figure out how your cool cow will sit. We cut the black sausages and glue them to the white ones. And then we attach the plasticine legs to the body, all that remains is to draw the mouth and our cool cow is ready! You can add a red tongue.

Plasticine cow, or how to mold a cow

1. Fashion figures from plasticine as shown in the figure. 2. Then assemble the figures: stick horns, ears, eyes to the head. Then attach the legs, tail, and head to the body. 3. Make black spots on the cow using black cakes. 4. And draw the hooves, muzzle, mouth, pierce the nostrils. 5. Our cow is ready!

How to make a caterpillar from plasticine step by step:

1. Although the list of materials indicates green plasticine, which is more suitable for sculpting an insect, you can replace it with a different color. If you wish, combine balls of different shades and sizes to get a rainbow craft. To begin, knead the prepared block in your hands.

2. Next, use a stack to divide the soft plasticine into pieces. Make links that will make up the long body of the wriggling insect, as well as one larger piece that will become the head. Divide the green block into the required portions and knead each of them separately in your hands.

3. You can form a ball from each small piece as a link to the caterpillar’s ​​body. Or give each ball an almond shape. A craft consisting of oval fragments will be more interesting. Glue a beige cake onto a large ball intended for the head, smooth out the edges. Then use your fingertips to give the workpiece a triangular shape.

4. Make a funny face on the beige field. Use a large pink bead to simulate a nose. Glue small black dots-eyes above the nose, and under it - a small red dot-mouth. Make two long orange tendrils. Curl and glue to the head. You can also decorate the caterpillar with a red bow.

5. Assemble the body from oval green blanks, securing the parts in random order. Glue the head on one side. This funny figure is made using the simplest method; sculpting a caterpillar is very exciting for children.

6. Use beige dots to make link decorations. This is also a way to explore numbers with young children. It is not forbidden to glue a different number of dots onto each link and then count them together. Plant the finished caterpillar in a flowering meadow. The craft is ready.

How to make a frog from plasticine

Plasticine is an amazing material that allows you to develop not only creativity and imagination, but also fine motor skills. You can make a frog from plasticine using a master class, where everything is described step by step and is understandable even for children. Follow the instructions exactly or apply your own ideas - everyone decides for themselves.

A simple do-it-yourself plasticine frog

Any child can make a frog from plasticine with their own hands in the simplest way. Just 8 main parts, 5 additional ones and the little toad will be ready. The child can complete large parts independently, and one of the adults will help him with small ones.

Sculpting process:

1. Roll 2 balls from the green material - one larger than the other. Connect them together - this will be the torso and head.
2. Make two identical small balls and attach them to the top of the head. Thin white plasticine circles are glued on top of them. Pupils of blue or another color are sculpted on them.
3. The mouth and nose are cut using stacks or toothpicks. Attach a tongue made of red plasticine.
4. Roll out two green bars. Flatten on one side, giving the shape of fins. The legs are bent and fixed on the frog's body.
5. For the front legs, the blanks are made thinner and shorter. The lower part is made flattened. Cut out 3 toes on each foot, making membranes using a toothpick. Attach the legs to the body.

Frog princess made of plasticine

To get your child interested in modeling, you can make a frog princess from plasticine. To do this, first make the frog itself and add just a couple of additional details - a crown and an arrow:

1. Roll the green mass into a roll and cut it into 3 pieces - 1 small and 2 larger.
2. Prepare a blank for the head. One of the large pieces is rolled and flattened, giving it an oval shape.
3. Roll the second large piece into a ball. Stick a toothpick or match into it and connect it to the head blank.
4. From the last piece, four sausage-shaped legs are created. Bend them in half and connect them to the base.
5. 2 small flat cakes are connected to the paws. 2 slightly larger cakes are attached to the body in the abdominal area.
6. Make 2 balls from the remaining piece and attach them to the top of the head.
7. On the base for the eyes, fix 2 white circles and stick black pupils on them.
8. A stack is used to cut through the frog's mouth. Roll small balls from pale green plasticine. Slightly flattening them, place them on the head and body. The same details indicate the nostrils of a frog.
9. The abdomen is made from light green material and attached to the body.
10. Using the stacks, cut fingers at the edges of the foot cakes. White mini-highlights are placed on the pupils.
11. To make a crown for the princess, you will need yellow or light orange plasticine. Make a sausage and roll it into thin strips. Sharp teeth cut along the edge of the stack.
12. Cut a part from the jagged strip so that it has 5 teeth. They fold it into a crown, which is placed on the frog's head. The sharp ends are slightly twisted in different directions.
13. A small tongue is created from a piece of red plasticine and glued to the line of the mouth.
14. The arrow is molded from plasticine in brown, yellow and white colors.

Frog made of light plasticine

Making a frog from light plasticine is easy step by step. For example, you can create the heroine of the cartoon “Frog Traveler”. Parts made of this material hold their shape well, and the mass does not stick to your hands.

Important! This material is afraid of moisture, both during the work process and in finished crafts.

1. Take a small piece of green mass. They give it the shape of a head with chubby cheeks. Particular attention is paid to the mouth - making it slightly pointed. Designate slightly raised areas for the eyes.
2. Roll out yellow plasticine and frame the lower part of the head. A thin strip marks the opening of the mouth.
3. The eyes are made from the white mass. To make them look funny and cheerful, the pupils are sculpted in different shapes, blue with black splashes.
4. To save material, you can use foil for the frog’s body, which is crumpled into a pear-shaped shape and covered with a thin layer of green mass. To highlight the frog's abdomen, the front part is covered with a yellow mass.
5. The bases for the frog's legs are made in the form of rounded blocks of the required size.
6. The fingers and toes of the frog are squeezed out with a stack. Give them the necessary bends. Add a yellow mass to the middle of the palms.
7. Connect all the parts together. For a strong attachment, the head is “set” on a match or toothpick.
8. Smooth out roughness and unevenness. Add dark green splashes to the arms and legs of the frog.

Craft with a frog made of plasticine

To captivate your child, you can make together with him not only one frog from plasticine, but an entire craft. A step-by-step analysis will help you understand how to sculpt reeds using toothpicks. How to make a pond and a water lily leaf on it:

1. To create a reed, you will need toothpicks, brown and green plasticine. The bottom is wrapped in green plasticine, the top in brown. Leaves are sculpted separately. Everything is connected and fixed to the surface.
2. To make a water lily leaf, roll out the green mass and flatten it into an oval with your fingers. Using a stack or a knife, draw veins and make a cut in the bottom of the sheet.

3. Cut out a circle or any shape large enough from cardboard to accommodate the wah and additional accessories.
4. The cardboard is coated with a thin green layer.
5. On top of the green layer, pieces of blue and light blue material are laid out and smeared in a chaotic manner.
6. Reeds are placed at the edges.
7. A water lily leaf is placed a little away from the center, on which the main character is planted.
