Summary of an integrated lesson on plasticine modeling in the middle group “My faithful friend is a dog”

Plasticine cat

The step-by-step scheme consists of three stages:

• Warming of the selected layer and, as a result, softness and pliability of the material;
• Formation of parts;
• Final assembly.

Operating procedure:

1. To make a graceful, beautiful cat or a rowdy, street cat, we tear off two larger round pieces from the total mass.
2. This is the future head and body: smooth the muzzle as much as possible to the shape of a ball, but the base should be slightly rolled into a sausage.
3. Not too much so that the slight roundness does not disappear. Tear off five more slices, but comparatively smaller in size compared to the previous elements.
4. These are four legs, as well as a slightly arched tail. All that's left is just two ears, very tiny, in the form of small triangles.
5. Now we connect everything, putting the parts in their places. As a result, a scorched cat standing on four legs.
6. Using a plastic knife or toothpick, make slits like toes.
7. Then we add a different color muzzle, eyes, nose and “apron”.
8. That's it, the pet is no longer averse to having breakfast or dinner with dry food.

Plasticine camel

An exotic two-humped beast that sedately strides through the desert. Its implementation will take a little longer than in all previous options.

1. It's all about smoothing out the corners and "seams" between different parts. First of all, we sculpt the head, an elongated, slightly flattened neck and torso.
2. We connect them together, using our fingers to smooth the joints of the elements.
3. As it heats up, the plasticine will become even more pliable under your fingertips and soon the toy will look like one, single layer. Ready?
4. Add two humps: for this you need to roll two balls, slightly press them on both sides and attach them to the body.
5. Now it's up to the legs. Shape the joints, and bend the back ones slightly back. Camels, like horses, do not have perfectly straight limbs.
6. Nature has taken care that staying on your feet for a long time does not cause discomfort.
7. If desired, the animal can be made in motion.
8. Don’t forget about your pet’s eyes, nostrils and mouth, otherwise how will he be happy with the child, his new home, or the smell of cactus on the window.

For children, animals made of plasticine are exciting fun and magic, when an unremarkable layer of material turns into a cute, graceful butterfly.

For adults, it’s an opportunity to spend an evening together by making tea, placing dessert in the center of the table, and continuing to laugh at the funny antics of the children. Isn't this happiness?

Plasticine unicorn

The pattern of the unicorn, deer and giraffe is the same as in the case of the lion. The figurine is seated, so the parts are attached to the back, and the remaining parts are attached to the front, almost on the colored “collar”.

As an option, a unicorn can wear a decoration in the form of a motley mane, which is obtained by mixing several shades. Knead several pieces for five minutes, no more, otherwise you will get a dirty color instead of clear multi-colored stripes.

Making an elephant from plasticine

The only difference from previous products is that the base will require one oblong ball, to which smaller parts are attached.

• Long, elongated paws are not needed.
• On the contrary, they are round, slightly flattened, since the legs of an elephant are heavy, massive giants.
• It remains not to forget the ears, trunk, eyes and an almost invisible tail at the back.

To make it easier to sculpt animals from plasticine, prepare the material in advance by placing it on the battery.

Plasticine dog

How to make animals from plasticine? The mechanism remains unchanged: the dog, the lion, and the baby elephant are designed approximately the same. Only forms change; everything else is controlled by fantasy. For example, making a dog is no more difficult than making a cat.

1. You will need one elongated sausage, the base of which will taper.
2. We attach a round piece on top. Do not make the neck too thin, otherwise the thin end will not withstand the weight of the future head and will break.
3. Alas, the teacher is unlikely to be happy with such a dull exhibition. Roll four balls and place them on the front of the piece.
4. The paws are ready, now we make two sausages and press them on top. Glue them to the muzzle, and slightly bend the ends down. The result was long, hanging ears.
5. If the child requires a very specific breed, for example, a German shepherd, then we reduce the size of the parts by half.
6. Approximately like the triangles in the previous diagram. The nose is necessarily black and has a flattened shape.
7. The eyes can be anything you want; if desired, the craft can be transformed by adding a colorful or checkered bow tie.

Plasticine is an unpretentious material and does not always firmly hold parts together, so toothpicks come to the rescue, especially in the case of elongated crafts. The wooden skewer acts as a base on which everything else is threaded. This way, the creative product will better retain its shape while being carried and will not fall apart on the way to kindergarten or school.

It is worth noting that photos of animals made of plasticine do not convey their real parameters: it may seem that the resulting crafts are absurdly small, but this is a misconception. As a rule, the size of pets is slightly smaller than a child's fist.

Knowing the basic principle, making a lion or an elephant will not seem like such a dreary, tedious task, and the pastime will not be without pleasure.

Lion made of plasticine

1. Two balls are the basis of the entire structure, which is united by a toothpick, and one element should be slightly rounder than the other.
2. Head and torso respectively. Then you will need four sausages: two are attached to the back, the rest are glued to the front of the base.
3. Use a different color to highlight the bottom of the legs and chest, highlighting them in different shades.
4. Make the cheeks the same color, and black or brown the nose and button eyes.
5. All that remains is to add round ears, a mane in the shape of flower petals and a tail at the back, decorating it with a red tassel.
6. If desired, roll up a few gray stones and place the king of beasts on top; a few tufts of grass will not be amiss.
