Rocket from plasticine

Creating crafts on the theme of "Space" can draw children of any age. Try to do with the baby an application "rocket" , a rocket made of paper or a rocket made of cardboard , put an astronaut in it and go into distant cosmic fantasies! But this is not all, because a space rocket can be fashioned out of plasticine!

Working with plasticine for a child is a great way to stretch your fingers and show your imagination. The material is well liable, not toxic, and you can make absolutely everything out of it. Today, we offer to consider a few lessons on how to make a fake missile.

How to mold a rocket with children from three years old from plasticine?

At this age, the child is already familiar with most objects and can visually imagine what a rocket should look like. Before you make a rocket from plasticine, be sure to discuss with a crumbly color and the size of the future craft. Give your child full creative potential.

  1. For work, you will only need material for modeling and stacking. We start to make workpieces. The author of the lesson suggests making the case brown. To do this, from a well-heated piece roll the ball. Then start rolling it and shaping the cylinder.
  2. From the blue piece, we also roll the ball first, then start to mold the cone.
  3. We connect the two parts and the body is ready.
  4. We'll build a booster block from a purple piece. We roll three sausages and gradually give them the shape of an elongated cone.
  5. We attach parts to the body.
  6. Next, roll a small ball of red color. We cut the stitches so that the balls look like fire.
  7. Portholes are also sculpted from small balls of different colors. We squeeze them into scones and attach them to the body.
  8. The rocket from plasticine is ready!

How to make a rocket from a plasticine with children of primary school age?

At this age, children are already a little familiar with the cosmos and know exactly where their craft should go. Therefore, it is worth paying attention not so much to the appearance of the rocket as to the form of its submission. We suggest to make a small composition.

For work you will need:

Now consider a simple step-by-step instruction on how to mold a rocket from plasticine.

  1. Using yellow paint and an old toothbrush, we apply the background and make outer space.
  2. From plasticine roll four balls: one large for the shell and three small for the upper stage.
  3. Next, we start rolling out the blanks into sausages. Press it only on one end, then the shape of the cone will be obtained.
  4. We fix the nozzles to the body.
  5. From a yellow slice we roll a cake and fasten the porthole.
  6. "Sending" our rocket to "space." The satellites are made from a white slice and toothpicks. We decorate with colored balls.
  7. To make the Earth, just mix the blue and green pieces and then roll into the ball.
  8. The stars are made of yellow plasticine.
  9. Then we simply attach all our blanks to the base.
  10. Here is such a wonderful rocket in space turned out. The child can put it on the shelf in the room and show it to friends.

Rocket from plasticine

Space is most often carried away by boys. Because such children's crafts, like a rocket, the guys try to make as natural as possible. They give more attention to details. To make a more believable layout you can use foil.

  1. We take a piece and mold a cone from it. You can simply roll the sausage, pressing just one side, and then cut off the opposite end.
  2. Now take a thin foil and wrap it with a workpiece. The rocket will shine and become more like the real one.
  3. Similarly, we make four more blanks of a smaller size.
  4. We attach them to the body. Then we make small windows from small cakes.
  5. From a small piece roll a thin sausage and encircle it body.
  6. That's what a real space rocket turned out.
