Crafts from plasticine by hands of kids

Everyone knows what plasticine is and do not neglect the usefulness of modeling. Firstly, this is an excellent joint activity for the child and parents. Secondly, crafts made of plasticine with each new lesson will get better, and your child's imagination will develop with the creations of the baby. Thirdly, the developed motor skills of the fingers in small children is directly developed with spoken speech and memory. And most importantly - your child will be busy for a long time with creativity!

Offer clay to a child can be from 3 years. For such kids there is a special clay, which is suitable for eating, because when you make an appetizing carrot, you want to try it. However, this does not mean that it is necessary to feed the baby with such plasticine. The melting temperature of plasticine for babies is slightly higher than that of the usual one, but this in no way hinders making this or that figure. Because He is perfectly warming up in his hands. But it does not spoil the form from the touch of special stacks and knives.

At the first stages the child will not be able to make artifacts from plasticine, using the tools for molding, tk. Working with them requires some skill. First you need to offer the baby to stretch the clay and try as he comes off, how to mix and what remains the patterns, if you click on a piece of a finger or a hand. Next, you need to show the child how to do: a ball, an oval, roll into a tube, crush a pipe or ball, etc. Of course, such creativity does not look like a masterpiece, but it's only the first steps!

The melting temperature of plasticine for small children will not allow you to stain the hands or the surface of the table, but it is better to substitute a special dash and immediately accustom the child to accuracy. However, if you expect that he will not smear everything around, then this is a delusion. Naturally, you will have a question: "Why wash the clay?". Traditional folk methods come to the rescue: sunflower oil will cope with plasticine perfectly. You can also use heated sunflower oil, baby wipes, the cloth can be placed in the refrigerator and remove the frozen remains, or you can iron it through a napkin or blotter, and wash the grease with soap or dishwashing detergent.

But still not to look for, than to wash plasticine is better to prevent trouble and to explain to the kid why it is impossible to smear or stain objects with plasticine. Believe me, children understand everything even in 3 years. But back to the crafts. After the elementary figures, you can offer to make a child from plasticine what he wants and see: what will come of it. Do not forget that the game is important for the child, and not clear instructions for actions.

The most common and simple figures can be transformed into crafts made of plasticine, which you and your child will be proud of! If you show the child what can be done and help in modeling the first figures, then subsequent crafts made of plasticine can already be done independently and with great enthusiasm. It is also important to explain and tell the child every step you take. Unobtrusively adjust his actions with words, but in the modeling of special laws can not be - it's creativity!

For example, suggest rolling out several differently sized balls from different in color plasticine. It will not be bad if you help to choose the child the right color and size of the ball. You will need a large ball and several different sizes, but smaller than the main and the same color. A large ball is a trunk, other balls of the same color are legs and hands. Another ball needs to be spread a little - it's a hat. You can make a pompom to it. Eyes can be made from 2 small balls of white color and 2 smaller than black. Spout can also be made from a ball, and a smile from a small bent pipe. And so it can turn out Kapitoshka! The main thing is to provide the child with the opportunity to help you and carry out, practically, the main job!

You sculpt together with the children and rejoice in joint successes, for the day will come when your child will be completely independent, and you will remember how you sculpted the crafts that stand in the most honorable place of your dwelling.
