Joint activities between parents and children are very valuable for both. It's even more interesting to mold animals together, and then come up with a plot and role-play it. Animals can be both domestic and wild.
Forest animal hare
It's great if adults know how to sculpt animals and show it to children. You can make a funny hare. To do this, cut a piece of gray plasticine for yourself and your baby. If it is difficult for him to knead, do it yourself. The mass should warm up in your hands and become plastic.
Start demonstrating your skill by creating a bunny head. Tear off a small piece of plasticine, roll it into a ball. Usually children like to do this, let them create a circle on a special sculpting board. It is very important to show the kid by example that it is impossible to roll plasticine on the floor, on the table. Demonstrate how enjoyable it is to do it on the board.
After the circle is made, roll it lightly between your palms, let it take an oval shape. Take 2 more small portions of the plastic mass, roll them over the sausage, then flatten them, leaving the tips of the ears (and this is what they are), pointed. On the other side, connect them to the head.
Lay this blank. Take some white plasticine, knead it, make a figure of it in the form of a three-dimensional figure without holes in the middle. Attach in the center of the animal's face horizontally. In the middle of the figure eight, in its lower part, attach a small red tongue, and a piece of black plasticine is also in the center, but on the upper part of this part. This is the nose. In the upper half of the head, attach 2 round eyes, make them from black mass.
Take an impressive piece of gray plasticine, make an oval out of it, this body, connect its upper part with the head of the oblique. Two small "sausages" of the same color will become its front legs. Roll 2 pieces into an oval shape. At the bottom, flatten and bend. These are the hind legs. Draw with the plastic knife that comes with the kit, the fingers of the beast.
How to make a cat
It is very easy to mold an animal like a cat with children from plasticine. If she is the character of a fairy tale just invented, she can be of any color. A realistic animal is molded from plasticine in white, black, gray or red. Mash it up. Cut a piece of medium size. First make a thick "sausage" out of it, then bend it. In this case, both ends of this figure should become beveled and stand firmly on the board.
You did this at the same time the body, front and hind legs in profile. Roll a circle out of a piece of plasticine, slightly flatten it in the middle so that there is a place for the muzzle. Pull the pieces of plastic mass at the top on both sides of the crown in the form of triangles, these are her ears. Attach your head to your body. On the opposite side - the tail, it will also help to create a "sausage" beforehand.
