Molding of plasticine - a great way to share a pastime with a child. This simple and accessible kind of creativity helps to develop imagination and creative abilities, to shape the taste. Coping with plasticine may even be the smallest, but in view of the fact that fine motor skills are still imperfect, it is difficult for kids to form clear figures out of mass for molding, so at first it is possible to give the child simple tasks - roll balls, sausages and other details for crafts. Blind from plasticine you can do anything, for example, a whole zoo.
We suggest starting with the manufacture of crafts in the form of a provocative pink elephant. To play hand-made articles made by own hands is interesting in any case, and to make the elephant come out, one should know the basic principles of its modeling. From this master class you will learn ideas how to make an elephant of plasticine.
How to make an elephant from plasticine?
- We take plasticine of three colors: pink, black and white.
- The pink piece is divided into three equal parts. We leave one part for a while, the second is divided into three pieces, as shown in the photo, and the third by four.
- From the first part of the bar of pink plasticine we form the body and tail. From the larger piece of the second part we sculpt the head and pull out the trunk from it, from two smaller ones - we roll the balls, these will be the ears. From the third part we make four legs.
- Balls flatten and attach the ears to the head. The head, in turn, is attached to the body. For reliability, you can fix it with a match.
- We collect an elephant. From the pieces of black plasticine we make eyes, we cut our mouth with a clerical knife.
- From white plasticine we make tusks, toes on feet and white points on eyes.
- If desired, you can take a little blue plasticine and dazzle the fountain of spray from the trunk. The clay craft is ready. Our elephant went swimming.
