Modeling is the most tangible type of artistic creation. The child not only sees what he has created, but also touches, picks up. Invite him to mold a squirrel and a chanterelle, come up with a fascinating story for them, and create a forest composition on a table or in a cardboard box.
Redhead squirrel
We divide the block of plasticine into 3 approximately equal parts: for the body, tail and for the rest of the parts. We form the body of the squirrel: pull a large ball into an egg; slightly pull back the neck, bend the back. Making the head: rolling a small ball; we stretch and sharpen the muzzle; we attach the ears, beady eyes and a button nose; we attach the head to the body. We sculpt the tail: roll a thick roller, decorate it on top - apply a plasticine cake, attach it to the body. We sculpt paws: upper - two columns, lower - cakes and columns; we attach the legs to the body.
Fox fox
We sculpt a cucumber torso; we decorate the torso with a light breast: we smear a plasticine cake of a different color on top. We roll the paws-pillars (the front ones are thinner, the rear ones are thicker), sharpen them down and slightly bend them; attach to the body; we sculpt a lush tail with a light tip. We make the head: pull the muzzle forward, sharpen the nose and slightly raise it up; we attach the ears, eyes and cut through the mouth with a stack; attach to the body.
