How to make utensils such as bowls and plates from plasticine.
we already had an article three years ago with these very keywords - modeling a bowl, modeling a plate. But time passes, experience accumulates, and I decided that this experience definitely needs to be shared. Moreover, this time we will talk about modeling from large volumes of plasticine. We will not engage in the manufacture of traditional miniature “dishes” for unknown purposes, but we will develop our hands and eye by sculpting large items from life.
Yes, from nature. In order for children's products to look high-quality, you need to give not a vague topic - tableware, but real tableware for sample. And setting a goal to blind is similar. You won’t believe it, but with this approach, even five-year-olds can make quite decent plasticine bowls and bowls.
But let’s move on to the lesson in making dishes.
Original snowflake made of plasticine
You can draw any applications and paintings with plasticine flagella. And considering that New Year is coming soon, I want to create something especially festive and beautiful. A snowflake made of plasticine on cardboard is the best option; not only children in the senior and middle groups of kindergarten can make it with their own hands, this craft is also suitable for the youngest children.
In this master class you will see step by step how to make a snowflake from plasticine with your own hands. It won’t be at all difficult to make such a craft with your children. You will definitely like this kind of creativity. Traditional colors for creating all kinds of snowflakes are white, blue, blue, silver. But no one forbids you to fantasize and make snowflakes brighter, for example, like those shown in the final photo.
Snowflakes are a unique creation of nature. Of course, it is unlikely that you will be able to examine a live image under a microscope with your children, unless you have a microscope and take it outside. But you can easily find drawings and photographs of snowflakes to look at and make sure that they are all unique, have a unique pattern, but the number of rays is the same - 6 pieces. Take our tips as a basis and create your own incredible New Year's masterpieces with your children.
How to make a snowflake from plasticine on cardboard: step-by-step instructions
- Plasticine with a stack (you can use a plastic knife separately if the stacks are not included in the kit).
- Rectangular sheet of cardboard of any format.
Prepare thick paper - the basis of a three-dimensional drawing. The background color does not have to be white; any expressive shade will do. You should also buy plasticine; for very young children it is better to choose very soft one, and also make sure that there is a plastic tool in the box.
Choose 2 bright shades of plasticine and knead the pieces in your hands separately. It is necessary to achieve absolute softness and pliability of the mass.
Next, you need to stretch the plasticine into very thin threads of uniform thickness. It is more convenient to use a regular syringe for this (fill the mass inside and squeeze it out through the spout). But it will be difficult for children to independently push the plunger inside a syringe filled with plasticine, even soft ones. Therefore, just pull out the soft mass with your fingers. This is useful for fine motor skills of children's hands. Place thin threads on the board and press down on top, rolling out the sausage.
To make it easier to work with thin plasticine threads, cut them in a stack into separate segments.
To create the center of a snowflake, take one piece of plasticine and start twisting it into a flagellum.
Glue the resulting spiral into the center of the paper. Starting from this part, attach all other elements.
Make 6 branches using threads of a contrasting color.
Hedgehog
Plasticine figures do not have to be complex. You can make a cute hedgehog from a large but easy-to-make number of parts. Where to start? The first step is to roll the ball. It will become the basis of the hedgehog. Now you need to make a triangular muzzle. It needs to be attached well to the body so that the gluing border is not visible. Now we make the lower legs. These will be two flattened ovals. The front legs are two balls, on which two cuts are made. Ears can be made from flattened ovals, one side of which is trimmed with a stack. Now it's time to make the pink overlays. You can mold them by hand, or you can cut them out of a layer of thinly rolled plasticine. Decorate the face with three balls. Two of them will be eyes, and the third will be a nose. All that remains is to make the needles. We take brown plasticine, heat it in our hands and begin to make cones. They can be glued not one at a time, but in whole batches.
