How to sculpt an airplane from plasticine
It is possible to mold various airplanes from a plastic mass. It could be a passenger airliner or a military fighter. But in any case, the idea will be many times more interesting if you know how to sculpt correctly. And this is precisely why there are detailed step-by-step master classes.
Passenger plane made of plasticine
To make a small copy of a passenger airliner, you can use both a bright color and a color close to the original. If you use a shade like a real vehicle, you should prepare a white, gray and blue block of elastic mass. But you also shouldn’t limit your imagination; let the child choose the desired color himself.
How to create a masterpiece with your own hands? Instructions for making airplanes from plasticine
We bring to your attention several options for step-by-step master classes on sculpting airplanes with children. The proposed options will be of interest not only to little lovers of creativity, but will be of interest even to teenagers.
Airplane for the little ones
With younger children, it is best to make crafts from soft wax plasticine. The kid needs to be shown how to make every part of the plane. At the same time, completing the details should not cause any particular difficulties for the child, since children’s motor skills are not yet very developed, and sculpting small parts can cause certain difficulties. Therefore, we suggest using step-by-step instructions with photos:
War plane
The principle of sculpting a military aircraft is similar to that described above. But there are some subtleties in preparing “military” plasticine:
- To achieve the desired color, you need to roll up blue-green cylinders and yellow strands.
- Next, we wrap a tourniquet around the cylinder and knead the blanks in order to obtain an imitation of war paint.
- Flatten the small red balls and cut out the stars using a utility knife.
- We fashion a propeller from green plasticine, and a cabin from white plasticine.
Subsequently, all you have to do is connect the finished parts and enjoy the resulting toy!
Passenger plane
Schoolchildren are already quite capable of making more complex airplane models. They can be asked to build a passenger plane.
You need to prepare:
- white and blue plasticine;
- stack set;
- juice straw;
- oilcloth on the table.
Progress:
- Knead a block of white plasticine in your hands. Forming it into an oblong sausage is the body of the craft. From the front, press down slightly near the edge. From blue plasticine, roll 12 small balls (portholes), a medium ball for the bow and a flat semicircle (imitation glass in the cockpit).
- Glue all the pieces together. Glue the semicircle onto the recess of the body and carefully press and smooth it out. Place 6 pieces of small porthole balls on each side and press down a little (flatten to a thick cake). We attach the middle ball to the bow of the body and also smooth it out a little.
- We prepare parts for the wings and tail of the model. To do this, using a stack, we cut out rectangles with a beveled side from plasticine cakes 0.5 cm thick. Add thin blue stripes to the wings:
- We press 3 wings tightly to the base from below and to the tail.
- On the bottom of the wings and on top of the tail we place small cylinders made with the help of a tube - turbines.
- The last stage of the work will allow you to achieve maximum strength of the product. The finished craft must be wrapped in a plastic bag or cling film and placed in the freezer for several hours. The figurine will become solid and will not break.
Now you can play with it or give it as a souvenir.
Helicopter
The principle of manufacturing a helicopter is similar. First, we prepare individual parts, then connect them in the required sequence. The only distinctive thing is that the helicopter body is round in shape and has 2 propellers. By combining the blanks, we get another type of air transport.
Transport made from plasticine and natural materials
In sculpting models of air transport, you can also use natural materials (cones, acorns, chestnuts, maple seeds, twigs, etc.). The photo shows some models made using cones and acorns.
Semi-professional models
Senior schoolchildren who are keen on modeling can make a model of a fighter aircraft with their own hands, even conveying the internal structure of the model. Although the work is painstaking, requiring special attention and perseverance, the result is worth it. This craft can take its rightful place in any air transport collection.
We wish you and your young designers creative success!

Hello, my dear readers and guests of the “Family and Childhood” site. The proposed modeling guide will allow you to easily make your own toy for boys or a gift for dad or grandfather on February 23rd. A plasticine airplane is a real souvenir that can be presented as a gift to a man. All boys dream of being pilots or astronauts, and grown men also remember their dreams, so an airplane is a popular craft item.
Children in kindergarten groups and at school will definitely make a gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day. This lesson, illustrated with photographs, will help young sculptors create a believable replica of an aircraft with their own hands. A passenger plane made of plasticine is a souvenir for February 23, a craft that children can do in the garden or at home with their mothers.
Take for sculpting an airplane:
- a lot of white plasticine (about 2 bars);
- blue plasticine (about a third of the bar);
— equip your workplace with a board, napkins and a stack.
Plasticine airplane: master class with step-by-step instructions and photos
This master class will be of interest primarily to boys, because they dream of becoming pilots and conquering airspace. They will definitely like this article, since in it we will present step-by-step photo instructions for working with plasticine, namely, we will make an airplane out of plasticine. After reading this master class, modeling from plasticine will be possible even for children in kindergarten.
Craft an airplane from plasticine for February 23
Crafts made from plasticine for February 23 are an excellent gift option for boys, their grandfathers and fathers. By making a beautiful car, tank or plane from plasticine, you will delight defenders of any age.
Of course, there are many ways to make an airplane out of plasticine. We bring to your attention one of the simplest.
Craft an airplane from plasticine for February 23
At the first stage of work, you will need to roll three small “sausages” from plasticine of different colors, yellow, blue and green. As you know, it is these colors that form the basis of the protective military coloring - khaki. We make one “sausage” (yellow in our case) a little thinner than the rest.
Three sausages
Then we connect two “sausages” of equal thickness to each other. We make the yellow stick even thinner, after which we wrap it around the other two, like a rope.
Connecting the sausages
We twist this entire plasticine structure into a rope and twist it until the colors of the plasticine blocks are mixed with each other.
Twisting plasticine
Having achieved the desired effect, we turn the multi-colored rope into a neat rectangular block. Break off a small piece from it and put it aside.
Let's move on to practice
In today's article we offer you the most detailed instructions for sculpting an airplane for passengers, although there are a huge number of variations: cargo or military, for example. In each option, you must first take into account every feature of the aircraft. In order to make an airplane from plasticine with your own hands, you need to prepare materials such as plasticine itself (preferably gray, blue or black), matches and a glass will serve as tools. You will also need to stock up on one free evening and desire.
Of course, you can create the most unusual airplane by choosing very bright and unusual colors. But if you want to create a realistic aircraft, then choose the most common colors such as gray, black, white and blue. The most popular aircraft are made in gray-black or white-blue combinations. First of all, we take plasticine of the first color, warm it in our hands, soften it and roll the ball of the future airplane out of plasticine.
Then we pull the resulting ball into a sausage. Entrust this task to your baby, but tell him how to do it correctly. The child must press the plasticine ball between the handles or place it between the palm and the board. After this, roll out the ball with small oscillating movements back and forth.
Then help your baby squeeze the resulting sausage a little more. Then sharpen one of the parts of the sausage, and then round it a little to the shape of a real airplane. Thus, you have a nose. Take black plasticine and sculpt a large window in the cockpit. The imitation of the front windows should resemble a crescent moon.
In the next fifth step, the child can mold airplane wings from the main color, and then attach them to the sausage.
It is worth taking into account the fact that if you want to make a beautiful airplane, then the wings should not be thin. They must keep their shape.
Then take black plasticine, pinch off small pieces of it and attach it to the top as porthole windows on each side of the plane. Make a couple of barrels and have matches ready because you will need to make turbines.
Then attach to the bottom of the turbine housing. We attach them to the places where the wings connect to the main body of the toy.
Forming a tail. To do this, we fix the triangular elements at the back of the toy.
This is the airplane we made from plasticine. You can hang it on a string and send it flying in kindergarten. We are sure that every boy in this place will definitely like this toy.
Summary of a modeling lesson for the senior group of the kindergarten “Planes and Helicopters”
Target:
- continue to sculpt objects of various shapes, conveying their features;
- develop interest in various modes of transport;
- learn to analyze the main parts of the subject, their functionality;
- cultivate patriotic feelings.
Material: plasticine, stacks, base, napkins, illustration material: drawing of an airplane, painting of an airplane and a helicopter, illustrations of civil and military aircraft.
Progress of the lesson:
Guys, yesterday we had a matinee. Who will remember what it was dedicated to? What holiday? (children's answers - February 23). Absolutely right! When the boys grow up, they will definitely serve in the army, but not only boys can serve in the army, but also brave girls can serve the Motherland. Perhaps one of you will be a pilot, conquering the sky. It's great!
Artistic word:
Guys, guess the riddle!
iron bird
Not afraid of heights
It flies into the sky.
Then he hurries to the ground! (plane, helicopter)
- Right! Well done! And now I suggest you listen to a couple of lines about the plane:
“An airplane rushes into the sky like an obedient bird,
The victory anthem is being sung again!
And goodbye, waving his wing slightly
I’ll go beyond the horizon to my airfield!”
(The teacher provides the children with illustrations depicting a civilian airplane and helicopter).
— Tell me guys, how is an airplane different from a helicopter? (children's answers - external details, etc.).
— In fact, a helicopter rises into the sky with the help of a propeller, and an airplane with the help of jet thrust. This is the main difference between these iron birds. (The teacher provides the children with illustrations depicting a military plane and helicopter).
— What is the difference between a military aircraft and a civilian one? (children's answers - color, symbols on the plane's body in the form of a star, weapons in the lower part of the wing, etc.).
— In order to make a model of an airplane or helicopter, we take an oval as a basis and, using stretching, we make the tail of the airplane. We make the wings (propeller) separately and attach them to the main part of the aircraft (helicopter). In front we will mark the cockpit.
Physical Minute:
We get on the plane, (Children crouch)
Let's take flight! (“Start up” the plane, stand up, say: “zhu-zhu”)
We are flying above the clouds. (Hands to the side)
We wave to dad, we wave to mom. (Take turns with both hands)
We see how the river flows (they show waves with their hands)
We see a fisherman's boat. (“Throw out” the fishing rod)
Be careful: the mountain! (Lean to the left, to the right, say: “zhu”)
It's time for us to land! (Squat)
- Now let's continue our work, guys. Those who make airplanes, be more careful - when drawing out elements such as wings, try to ensure that the wings are the same size as each other, then your airplane will be neater.
- And those guys who make a helicopter out of plasticine - pay more attention to the tail part of the helicopter, do not stretch the plasticine too long, as the plasticine will lose its rigidity and the result will not be entirely successful. Take another look at the illustrations of the helicopter, what it is like, what blades it has, what shape it is.
At the end of the lesson, the children’s work is evaluated, and an exhibition of work is organized together with the children.
Plasticine airplane: step-by-step instructions with photos
Probably, every mother tries to give her baby the most beautiful things, spend as much time with him as possible and help with the development of the baby’s various abilities. If you are going to develop fine motor skills, then we suggest making a small toy out of plasticine for you and your child. For boys, the most promising option would be to sculpt an airplane. After all, boys most often like to tinker, sculpt, and play with all the cars and aircraft. Modeling from plasticine is considered one of the best educational games, but it will become much more interesting and exciting if in just half an hour you get a real copy of a real plane from plasticine.
Photos of planes made of plasticine
There are even more ideas for sculpting beautiful airplanes. An example would be photos of interesting works.
In white the plane looks more like a real one
For modeling you can use a variety of colors of plastic mass
Great idea to mix multiple colors for a military fighter
Military aircraft with propeller
You can draw each element of the figure using a stack
Model of a more complex military fighter
They also make an applique from plasticine in the shape of an airplane.
Crafts with children: plasticine airplane
Crafts with children: plasticine airplane
It's no secret that every child loves to do manual arts: draw, design, sculpt. It is these activities that allow the child to express himself and show his imagination. Children are especially delighted with airplanes and other vehicles made from plasticine. Making such crafts is a pleasure! In addition, they can later be used in the game.
Variety of materials for modeling
- Ordinary plasticine of domestic production. This plasticine is perfect for making crafts for children of school age, but for very young creators, preparation for work will be difficult. This plasticine is hard, and it will be difficult for the baby to prepare (knead and warm) it for work on his own. And although crafts made from it are durable, the dull color that is characteristic of this type of plasticine makes the work unremarkable.
- Imported plasticine is soft and rich in color. It does not get dirty when you use your hands and is easy to clean from clothes. The only drawback is that crafts made from it are not very durable, quickly lose their shape, and the parts do not fit together well.
- Wax plasticine sticks well and is soft to work with. The colors are bright and do not leave stains. It is best to store pieces of plasticine in individual packaging, as they easily stick together.

Progress of the lesson:
Guys, this box contains a new toy for you. But before we open the box and show you what's in it, try to guess the riddle. If you guess correctly, you will find out which toy is in the box.
Not a bee, but buzzing, Not a bird, but flying, Not making nests, Carrying people and cargo.
What words of the riddle helped you solve it? How can you play with a toy airplane? Today we will learn a lot of new things about airplanes and learn how to sculpt them. And after class you can play with a new toy.
A long time ago, ancient people looked at birds and dreamed of flying like them. But it took a long time before this happened. First, people learned to rise into the air on... (Show picture). Do you know what this is? People learned to take to the air in a hot air balloon. The ball was filled with smoke from the fire, a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air. But the ball flies where the wind blows. And the man wanted to choose where to fly. Time passed and finally an airplane was invented, which was controlled by a pilot. (Show picture). The plane flies where the pilot directs it. But in order to get off the ground and into the air, the plane must first fly at high speed along the ground. This requires a lot of space and a specially built road - a runway. And sometimes you need to fly to a place where there is not a lot of space and such a runway. That's when people had to come up with a helicopter. (Show picture). The helicopter is also controlled by a pilot. But to take off and land, a helicopter does not need a lot of space or a runway. The pilot turns on the engine, these blades begin to rotate (shown in the picture), and the helicopter takes off straight from the spot.
Didactic game “Find identical planes”
Listen to the hum of the plane's engines in flight. (Audio recording)
Didactic exercise “The plane flies and hums”
The plane flies and buzzes: “llll.” Achieve correct articulation and clear pronunciation of sound.
Listen to an interesting fairy tale about a small airplane, written for children by Dmitry Pentegov.
"The Tale of a Small Airplane"
Once upon a time there lived in a village a small plane. It also had a small motor, so it flew low - almost above the ground. He carried mail from the city, scattered fertilizer on the fields, and sometimes urgently delivered a doctor to a seriously ill person. And above, much higher than he could fly, large white planes were flying by and shouting to him from above: “Hello, Kid!” And the little airplane was very, very jealous of them. But one day, far in the north, where the sea is cold even in summer, a large steamer collided with an ice floe and sank. It sank so quickly that the people floating on it were barely able to jump out onto the ice, but none of them had time to take with them any food, warm blankets, or durable tents. They were left completely alone on a small ice floe in the middle of the cold ocean. Large, powerful planes flew over the sea for a long time, trying to find people in distress, and when they finally found them, they realized that they could not help them: the ice floe was so small that not a single plane in the world could land on it. And then someone remembered: “You know, in one village there lives a small, small, very tiny airplane.” Maybe he can land on this ice floe? And they called him on the phone and asked for help.
A small plane flew over the northern ocean for a long time - after all, it could not fly fast - and large planes showed it the way. Finally, he saw a white ice floe below. People stood on it and joyfully waved their hands at him. The plane made a circle in the sky, shook its wings at the people so that they would move a little to the side, and landed carefully. He couldn't take all the people away at once. I had to fly to the seashore and back several times. And now only one person remained on the ice floe. But when the plane took off, he noticed with alarm that a thin crack had appeared on the ice floe, because it was summer in the North at that time, and the ice floe began to melt. The airplane did not say anything to anyone, but hurried with all his might to take the people and return. When he flew back, he saw that the ice floe had become even smaller than it was, and the crack, on the contrary, had grown greatly. This meant that the ice floe could fall to pieces at any second. - No, airplane, don’t sit down! - the man remaining below shouted. - The ice floe will burst and you will drown! But the plane did not listen and landed on the melting ice. The man jumped into his cockpit, the plane turned around and began to run away with all its might. And as soon as its wheels came off the ice floe, it burst with a deafening crash and fell apart into small pieces. And when they arrived on the shore, everyone - both people and large planes - thanked the baby for a long time and admired his courage. Since then, the little airplane has never envied anyone.
Questions:
1. What did the little plane do? 2. Why was he jealous of big planes? 3. What happened one day in the far north? 4. Why couldn't big planes help? 5. How did a small airplane save people? 6. Why did the little airplane never envy anyone else?
Dynamic pause "Airplane"
Let's fly, fly, (Stand legs apart)
They twirled their arms forward. (Rotate arms in front of chest)
Hands to the sides - take off in flight. Send the plane, (Spread your arms horizontally to the sides)
Right wing forward, (Turn the body to the right with the right arm moving forward)
Left wing forward. (Turn your torso to the left with your left arm moving forward)
One, two, three, four - Our plane has taken off. A wonderful pilot sent the plane on its way. (Random running with arms out to the sides)
Work in notebooks:
Didactic exercise “Circle the plane by dots”, didactic exercise “Labyrinth “Which plane is the boy holding by the string”.
Collective application “Stick it in the right place”
Children are offered pictures (airplanes, helicopters, hot air balloons, the sun, clouds, birds) that need to be pasted onto a common blue sheet of paper (representing the sky) with white places corresponding along the contour to the pictures to be pasted. The teacher monitors the correctness and accuracy of gluing. And also to ensure that children do not interfere with each other.
Outdoor game "Planes"
Children are invited to take one paper airplane each (girls - pink, boys - blue) and sit on their knees on the carpet.
"Airplane"
I am a small airplane, I don’t fly yet. And on the asphalt in the yard Denis plays with me.
He dreams of becoming a pilot, and I dream of flying like a bird. And that means we need to grow and we need to learn.
When Deniska grows up and I become big, all our dreams will come true and we will fly into the sky. (Alexander Borozdin)
Children run around randomly with airplanes in their hands. The teacher gives the commands: “Planes, land,” “Planes, take off,” “Planes, gain altitude,” “Planes, descend.”
Bas-relief sculpture “Planes in the clouds”
Children are invited to pick up plasticine. Split it into two parts using a stack. Make a sausage from one part by straight rolling. Fold one end up (airplane tail). Attach to the “Cloud” by flattening. From another piece, also make a sausage and bend it in the middle in the shape of the letter “L”. Apply to the middle of the “airplane body” and attach by pressing and flattening. Using the blunt end of a brush or pencil, make impressions on the “aircraft body” - “porthole windows”.
About everything in the world:
In 1930, the film “The Rogue Song” about the kidnapping of a girl in the Caucasus Mountains was released in America. Actors Stan Laurel, Lawrence Tibbett and Oliver Hardy played local crooks in this film. Surprisingly, these actors are very similar to the heroes...

How to make a fighter plane from plasticine: step by step with photos
A more complex craft can be offered to older children; this is a high-speed flying machine. Let's look at how to make a fighter plane out of plasticine step by step:
- roll a smooth ball from blue or gray plasticine, then stretch it out, giving it an oval shape;
- the front, bow part is sharpened, at the same time creating a cockpit;
- the back is flattened;
- two identical rectangles are molded from plasticine of the same color - they are fixed on the sides of the body;
- they sculpt the wings - gray plasticine balls are formed into rectangles (2 pcs.), then using a stack, they give them the appearance of parallelograms and are fixed on the plane;
- make out the tail - a square-shaped blank and two drop-shaped elements are connected to each other and attached to the back;
- perpendicular wings (2 pieces) in the form of scalene triangles are added to the tail (top).
Two small gray balls, slightly flattened, are placed on the tail. Then they make indentations in them with a stack - these are pipes. For greater reality, you can “put” pieces of orange or red plasticine into the holes - this is an imitation of fire from the operation of motors.
A military plane can be sculpted from plasticine in any color the child chooses. But if the goal is to create an exact copy of the original, then it is better to choose colors that match it.
Plasticine fighter plane
Fighter aircraft played a very important role during the Second World War. It was these machines that shot down enemy warplanes and destroyed their bases on the ground. On the eve of the great holiday, we suggest making a fighter plane from plasticine. Master class by Maria Klimova.
Materials and tools:
- Plasticine green, blue and gray;
- Knife for modeling from plasticine.
How to make an airplane, step by step
First you need to sculpt the body for the aircraft. Typically, fighter jets have a color that helps them camouflage themselves in the air. Therefore, most often they are not monochromatic, but have spots that look like stains. To achieve this effect, you need to mix green (dark) plasticine with blue or blue . But there is no need to mix completely. We need to get an uneven color. Now roll the resulting plasticine into a sausage, sharpening it at one end. This will be the nose of the plane. Photo 1
Now we need blue plasticine. We will make the cockpit glass . To do this, you need to make an oval and cut it in half. One of the halves needs to be stuck closer to the sharp end. Photo 2
Now we need to make the wings . They have the shape of a triangle with one acute corner. You need to try to keep the details as similar as possible. The wings must be glued strictly symmetrically. Photo 3
Now let's design the tail section of the plane . The tail parts need to be made in the appropriate shape. They are similar to a trapezoid, but without one side. The back of the plane needs to be slightly flattened. Photo 4
Now let's mold the upper parts of the tail, which help the car when flying. Photo 5, 6
A fighter is an aircraft primarily aimed at destroying enemy air vehicles, so each of them has shells for combat . To make shells, you need to take gray plasticine and roll it into 3 small sausages, slightly pointed at the end. Photo 7
Next, we glue these shells under the wings of the aircraft. On the second side we do exactly the same. Now you need to make 2 more shells and glue them under the tail. These parts do not need to be sharpened; we will make them in the shape of a cylinder. We wrap the nose of the fighter aircraft with gray plasticine. Now you need to inspect the fighter again and smooth out all the bumps and cracks so that the resulting product is smooth and beautiful. Photo 8
The military plane is ready!
Military model
In the second stage of this article, we suggest that you and your child figure out how to make a military aircraft using the example of a step-by-step master class with photos. Prepare a couple of pieces of green and blue plasticine, but you can also make a plain airplane.
Warm up the plasticine and mix two blocks together. Thus, the future military aircraft will be khaki-colored and even more reminiscent of the original.
We roll out the plasticine into a ball, which we then stretch into the shape of a sausage, from which we make the shape of an airplane.

Then we take a little more plasticine and roll out the ball shape.
Next, we press two balls onto the board, and then cut out the shape of triangles from the cakes using a stack.
A little closer to the beginning of the plane we attach the wings to the body of the plane.
Then make three triangles from which we mold the shape of the tail of the plane.
We place finished blanks at the end of the body.
Make a rectangular block from a small piece of plasticine and press it onto the body of the plane to form the cockpit. We make glass from plasticine.
Our military aircraft is almost ready. We add a propeller in front, which we attach to a large match.
This is how we figured out how to make an airplane step by step.
