Making mushrooms
The autumn forest is so rich in mushrooms! That’s why I really want to sculpt them from plasticine! They are beautiful both on their own and as part of a plasticine autumn landscape. Once sculpted, they can be placed in the above-mentioned painting, and as a result it will turn out even more beautiful.
This miracle of nature is very easy to put together:
- First, we sculpt a mushroom stem from plasticine of any color;
- then we make a hat. It is clear that its production also requires plasticine of all colors. Real fungi, as you know, have caps of all kinds of colors;
- connect the stem and the cap.
It is clear that if fungi are supposed to be placed in the picture, then they should be flat.
You can also sculpt three-dimensional fungi – in their natural form. Making them is no more difficult than mushrooms for application.
By the way, about the volume
Plasticine is a fertile material for creativity. They can be used to sculpt full-fledged three-dimensional figures. Mushrooms have already been mentioned. And, besides them, the child will happily make other gifts of autumn nature: a variety of vegetables, fruits, a whole bunch of grapes, and even a head of cabbage. In general, whatever he wants and can do. Moreover, sculpting all this beauty is not at all difficult. Here, look at the photo.
How to sculpt different animals
Children love animals very much, and willingly draw them and sculpt them from plasticine. Well, that's great. We'll show you how to do it better.
Let's start with the snail. It's not difficult to make.
- We sculpt the body of evidence. It should resemble a carrot: one end is thicker, the other is thinner.
- Bend the carrot at a right angle.
- From the thick part we make the head of the snail. At the very top we stick two plasticine sticks with spirals at the end - snail horns. A little lower – we make the eyes. They can be sculpted from plasticine, or you can stick store-bought ones. Below the eyes we stick a plasticine mouth.
- A snail's house can be made from different materials. First of all, of course, from plasticine. To do this, roll the plasticine into a thin strip, twist it into a spiral and place it on the snail’s back. In addition to plasticine, chestnut or walnut look great as a house.
Now let’s sculpt a beautiful caterpillar.
The good thing about this craft is that even a very small child can do it. As a matter of fact, children's “plasticine” creativity in most cases begins with the creation of a caterpillar.
- We make balls of any color from plasticine. It is better if each subsequent ball is smaller than the previous one.
- We place the balls in a row, starting with the largest (this is the caterpillar's head) and ending with the smallest (this is its tail).
- We connect them with thin soft wire or fishing line. A very young child will probably not be able to cope with this operation, so he needs help.
- We place horns on the caterpillar's head. They can be made from ordinary matches or from plasticine.
- We give the caterpillar a face: eyes, nose, mouth. It’s better to stick on store-bought ones, and everything else is made from plasticine.
- If desired, make plasticine legs for the caterpillar (two for each ball on both sides). And, of course, the handles: they are attached to the ball that follows immediately behind the head.
The cheerful, mischievous, cute caterpillar is ready!
And if you also attach wings to it, you will get a wonderful dragonfly or butterfly.
Of course, it is impossible to talk about all their plasticine products in one article. Yes, this is not necessary. Another thing is more important - to introduce a child to creativity from a very young age. And the easiest way to do this is with plasticine. In general, we create, we dare, we comprehend the world! And plasticine helps us!
