Summary of GCD for modeling in the 1st junior group. Theme "Radiant Sun"

Integration of educational areas: “Cognition”, “Communication”, “Socialization”, “Artistic creativity”.
GOALS: Teach children to convey the image of the sun. Strengthen the ability to roll out plasticine using circular and straight movements. Develop and strengthen fine motor skills of the hands. To develop aesthetic perception in children. Cultivating interest in modeling.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS:

1. Organizational moment.

(reading an excerpt from K. Chukovsky’s fairy tale “The Stolen Sun”)
The sun was walking across the sky
And it ran behind a cloud.

The bunny looked out the window,
It became dark for the bunny.
The gray sparrow cries:
Come out, sunshine, quickly!

2. - What should the little animals do now without the sun?
- We need to help them!
- How can we help them?
- draw with paints or pencil
- cut out the sun from colored paper
- Let's make it from plasticine.
3. Physical exercise “Find the sun”
In the morning the sun rises
Higher, higher, higher!
By night the sun will go down
Below, below, below!
Good good
The sun laughs.
And under the sun for everyone
It's fun to sing!
4. (showing a sample of the sun)
- Look at the sun, tell me what parts it consists of?
(circle, ray sticks)
- What color is the sun? (yellow)
- Why is the sun yellow? (because the color is warm, it warms everyone up)
- Now I’ll show you how to make a sun. First, take a large piece of plasticine and roll it between your palms in a circular motion. Let's make a ball. Then we apply it to the cardboard and press it with our palm. We made a flatbread. Then take another piece and roll it out with straight movements. We got a sausage. We place the sausage on the edge of the flatbread and press down on top. It turned out to be a ray of sunshine. But the sun has many rays and we need to make several rays. (show) To make the sun cheerful, we will make the eyes and mouth a stack.
5. Gymnastics for arms “Fairy tales come to life”
Pieces of plasticine
Our Zina rides.
Balls, sausages
And fairy tales come to life.
The fingers are trying
They mold and develop.
6. Practical activities.
- Now we can get to work. (during independent activities I encourage children, help unsure children)

7. At the end of the lesson I display children's crafts. I praise you for your beautiful work.
Bunnies and squirrels are happy.
Boys and girls are happy.
Well thank you guys
Here's to the sun!

One of the most effective activities for developing fine motor skills is modeling. According to experts, sculpting should begin as early as possible. In this article I will present our favorite exercises.

When reading materials about how interesting modeling is for children, do not forget that most children aged 1 year are conservative and love established order. They have only recently gotten used to the idea that all toys are soft or hard. Plasticine is a completely new consistency for a baby, which threatens the existence of everything familiar. At least go and check all the items again, in case some of them have the consistency of plasticine.

In addition, any creative activity requires not only the formation of a skill, but also enjoyment of the result. This requires awareness of the results and one’s capabilities, which manifests itself very weakly in the second year of life. Therefore, if you decide to take up modeling with a child under two years old, do not expect much jubilation and joy.

The simplest element, “sticks” (cylinders), is mastered by most children in the third year of life. Some cope with the cylinder only at three years. After mastering the cylinders, you can start working on the balls.

The book “Plasticine Beads” contains 8 pages of exercises for gluing balls. A one-year-old baby can handle them quite well. For a two-year-old, you can make the tasks more difficult by offering regular plasticine. It is more elastic and sculpting with it will be more useful for developing finger motor skills. Classic plasticine produced by Luch (Chemical Plant) is considered one of the best.

“Plasticine Oranges” contains 8 pages of exercises for creating all kinds of balls:

Happy sculpting!

Modeling for kids

Modeling for kids: why do kids need modeling?

Modeling is a type of visual activity for a child. Classes with plasticine, dough, mass enrich the baby’s sensory experience, develop fine motor skills of the fingers, teach how to bring things to fruition, allow the child to develop the child’s speech, attention, thinking, imagination.

In modeling as a type of productive activity (that is, activity that results in a finished product - a sculpted product) develops the child’s ability to plan his actions.

Modeling teaches the baby to analyze, develops perception, after all, in order to display any object in modeling, you need to highlight its main parts, their characteristics (color, size, shape, proportions, location in space).

Also in sculpting we We clarify and consolidate the child’s ideas about the objects of the surrounding world.

In modeling, the child tries to correlate the features of the object with the features of the material (modeling dough or plasticine), this leads to memorization sensory standards(color – yellow, red, green, blue and others, size – small, large, shape – round, oval, triangular, long – short, wide – narrow).

Very important: games - modeling classes are easier for a child than drawing classes, since It is in modeling that the child begins to feel every movement of his finger(for example, when small objects are pressed into clay or modeling mass, small pieces are torn off from a piece of clay) and movements of your hands(when, for example, a ball is flattened into a flat cake, when a sausage or ball is rolled out). That is why it is best to start visual arts classes with modeling, and a little later start drawing with your baby. Also in modeling, the child easily feels the shape of the object(it is easier for him to understand that the ball is round, it is a ball in modeling, in which he rolls this ball himself, and not in a flat image in drawing).

Modeling will prepare the child’s hand for more complex movements.– mastery of pencil and brush in drawing.

Modeling for kids: at what age can you start modeling with a child?

You can start modeling with your child from the last months of the first year of life.

In the second year of life The child gets acquainted with modeling dough as a material, gets acquainted with its properties and qualities.

In the third year of life baby masters "the alphabet of modeling" - basic sculpting techniques, based on which you can make many different shapes. Based on the ABC of modeling learned at this age, all subsequent crafts of the child at an older age will be built.

Modeling for kids: materials for modeling with a young child

The first is play dough. (safe for the health of the youngest children and made from environmentally friendly materials).

Play dough recipe for children from 10 to 12 months: 300 gr. flour, 150 gr. water, 1 teaspoon sunflower oil (do not add salt to the dough). You can add freshly squeezed beet juice to the water to get a pink color. But it will only last for a day, a maximum of two days.

Recipe for salted play dough for children aged 1 to 2 years: 2 cups flour, 1 cup fine salt, 1 cup water colored with food coloring, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. The dye is food grade, which is used for coloring Easter eggs and confectionery (take ½ or ¼ sachet of the same color for this portion of dough). The dough does not stick to your hands and holds its shape well. The dough can be stored for 3-4 weeks in a tightly sealed bag in the refrigerator. Better in advance make several colors of dough.

A figurine made from such dough can be baked in the oven over low heat. The color of the dough remains the same after baking. If you dry the figurine in the air, then the figurine 1-2 cm thick will dry for 10 days.

With children 2 years and older You can use different materials for modeling: modeling mass, plasticine, salt dough.

Clay- an excellent natural material for modeling, which is also useful psychologically. Clay is a great stress reliever! If you want to sculpt with clay with your baby, then buy light-colored clay at the store. Dark-colored clay often frightens young children, and they refuse to sculpt with it (for fear of getting dirty). Clay should be stored in a tightly tied bag in the refrigerator, as it dries out quickly.

Ready-made industrial dough or modeling mass It is advisable to buy classic, unflavored (without the smell of vanilla and other similar odors).

The second is an oilcloth to protect the table from plasticine or dough. As well as a modeling board and a damp cloth. This teaches you to be careful. The main reason why we can’t do without these items is that when using them, we won’t need to use prohibitions on the child (don’t touch, you’ll get dirty), we won’t have to pull him. Even if the baby gets the oilcloth dirty, the table will remain clean, and the oilcloth can be easily washed off.

Immediately teach your child that we only sculpt on oilcloth and immediately clean up after ourselves. At first you will do this, then the baby will get used to the order and begin to imitate you. He will know the rule - we sculpt at the table on oilcloth, and after sculpting we put everything back in its place.

Modeling board It is better to have darker colors so that the light details made of dough or plasticine and their shape are clearly visible. It should be no smaller than the size of a landscape sheet (I don’t recommend buying small boards for modeling. They are very inconvenient for modeling with kids).

Damp cloth should be nearby on the table. It is needed to wipe your hands (the baby will need to show how this is done).

Third, if you are afraid that the child will stain his clothes, then put armlets on his arms (this is a “tube” made of easily washable waterproof fabric and is put on the child’s arm from wrist to elbow) and an apron. You will be calm that your baby will not get his clothes dirty, and he will be able to sculpt freely and joyfully. Your emotions and your calmness are very important - after all, the child “reads” them instantly and senses your emotional state well. And if the mother is constantly worried that we will get something dirty, then the child will not be happy to sculpt. Also, if you are afraid for the floor and its cleanliness (for example, you have carpet at home, then instead of worrying, you can simply protect the floor in advance - just lay a film on it).

Fourth. Additionally you can purchase stacks for plasticine (they are usually included with the plasticine set) - with their help you can apply different patterns to the surface of the product.

It is important:

- the place for modeling and all objects must be prepared by the mother in advance, before the game - activities with the child, since a small child cannot wait long - he needs to act immediately.

- a child over 2 years old already knows where the materials for modeling are at home and how to use them for their intended purpose; from this age he helps his mother put away all the materials after modeling (for example, arrange the remaining pieces by color, wash his hands, remove the apron)

Modeling for kids: how to sculpt with kids?

First stage. Getting to know the material.

Very often this stage is skipped, as a result the baby does not want to sculpt, wants to put the dough in his mouth, and nothing happens! Because before sculpting, we must take into account the nature of a young child.

For a child, one of the important means of understanding the world is experimentation and exploratory games. Let your child first enjoy the process of exploring new material and get to know it well. Otherwise, he simply won’t sculpt; he will be attracted to this new piece of something attractive, and not to the sculpting process!

Introduce your child to the dough (or plasticine, depending on the child’s age). Give the opportunity:

• slap it with your palm:"slap-slap"
• press with your finger and get a “hole” in a piece of material
• hold the piece in your hands and mash it in different ways,
• finger press into a piece of mass a piece of raisin (peas, beans),
• mix different colors and see what happens when you mix different colored dough. When buying plasticine for modeling, look at the instructions on the package. Manufacturers always indicate whether plasticine colors can be mixed to create new shades. It is advisable for kids to buy plasticine, in which you can mix different colors and get new shades.

Let your third-year-old baby experiment with colors on his own - for example, make a lot of different balls - “beads” on a Christmas tree or doll. Get each ball by mixing colors (yellow + blue = green, red + white = pink).

• You can let your baby knead the dough himself (help mom) and make “pies” out of it(whatever you want), pretzels and sausages for treating the dolls.

The child’s research interest must be encouraged and developed, the child must be praised, and not prohibited from his actions. A young child learns about the world through a sensory way, and not through our words or video presentations.

When the child explores the material and becomes familiar with its qualities and properties, it will be possible to give him the material for another task - for modeling.

This is important to remember: our way of teaching sculpting to the youngest children is as follows:

1. from the baby’s acquaintance with the material (research activities)
2. to use it for its intended purpose (for modeling)
3. and further to the development of interest in the image that we want to convey in sculpting.

Helpful advice: If the child refuses to study the material, then you can give him different game tasks yourself: “hide the peas in a piece of text”, “what will happen if we mix two pieces, let’s try!”

Modeling for kids: basic sculpting techniques with young children

• rolling out a piece of dough or plasticine into a stick (sausage),
• rolling a piece into a ball,
• flattening (a ball into a flat cake, a sausage into stripes),
• obtaining an indentation in a piece by pressing a piece of plasticine with your finger,
• pinching off pieces
• attaching parts to a large piece of plasticine.

The baby masters these techniques by the age of three (of course, if he is taught modeling at home or in a circle or in kindergarten).

Modeling for kids: important points in organizing play activities with your baby at home

— In all age subperiods of early childhood, the child’s modeling is introduced into the play plot.

You need to not just ask the child to make a fungus - but to make it for a hedgehog who lost his fungus in the forest.

Or another example: you need to make pies for your doll for tea, because she is waiting for guests - her girlfriends!

Another example: we decided to make vegetables and fruits for the store game. Or they decided to stick nuts on them to treat a toy squirrel with them. Or now we’ll make candies that the doll will treat all guests to on her birthday.

IMPORTANT NUANCE: The hedgehog (toy) himself turns to the baby and asks the child to help him, and the baby happily agrees, talking to the hedgehog as if it were alive. At the end, the toy thanks the baby for his help.

TYPICAL ERROR: An adult says this: “The hedgehog asked you... The hedgehog thanks you.” This doesn't work with kids! The hedgehog himself turns to the baby and he asks, talks to the baby, takes the molded mushrooms from him and thanks him. An adult talks to a child as a hedgehog.

You will find a list of game plots at the end of this article.

— All fashioned products are used in the future for the child’s play(for example, in the situation with the hedgehog, we actually give the toy - the hedgehog the mushrooms we sculpted, he rejoices, thanks us, we accompany him to the forest - we completely act out this plot with the baby).

— When we sculpt an object (for example, a tumbler), before starting sculpting we must examine this object with the child, name its parts and their shape and size. You can consider a toy, a picture or a real object, if possible.

For example: “What an elegant tumbler! Oh, beauty, and how cheerful! (we stroke the tumbler's head). What did I pet? (head). What does she look like? (on the ball), What is this? (we stroke the balls - the hands of the tumbler, let the baby stroke them too). What are they like? To the balls! Only small ones! Now let's iron the tumbler's dress. How beautiful. What does it look like? Also on the ball. Only big!” Etc." The child needs to be given the toy in his hands to stroke it and name each part of it. And then put it in place and start sculpting it.

An example of such a conversation about a bird before it is sculpted(author - R.G. Kazakova): “The chicken lost its mother hen, ran, searched and came running to us. How did he escape? (on the paws). He’s tired, let’s pet him: “
Oh, you little yellow one! What did I pet? (back, wings). What does a chicken look like? On the ball! Now what did I stroke? Head! What does she look like? For a small ball. The chicken wanted to peck the grains, and began to look for the grains. What is he looking at? (with eyes). What does he eat the grains with? (beak). Waved at us with what? (tail)." After this, the adult shows how to sculpt a chicken, accompanying all his actions with comments and questions: What did I sculpt? Round body. What is this little ball? This is the head, and these are the eyes. The chicken immediately saw its mother chicken! What did he wave at her? Wings!

- First, the baby will sculpt according to your instructions, and a little later he will be able to sculpt himself according to his own design.

— If you teach your child a new sculpting technique (for example, teach him to roll a ball in a circular motion between his palms), then it is better to plan your home games - sculpting classes like this:

• The first day is learning how to roll a ball.
• The next day, we consolidate the skills the child has mastered in rolling a ball: we again sculpt a ball with the child (but in a different game plot).
• Then we take a break for 2-3 days.
• And again we make a ball again (already in the third game story).

For example, for the first time we made a ball - a bun. The second time it was balls - balls. The third time we made balls - balls for the kitten.

In the future, frequency will not matter.

Research has shown that this is precisely the frequency that a child needs to best master a new action. This is the most successful planning scheme that allows you to quickly consolidate a child’s new skill.

— Never disassemble ready-made crafts made by a child in front of him; this rule applies forever and is relevant for any age of the child.

— If you want to reuse plasticine, then disassemble the crafts so that the child does not see it. Do not leave your child alone while sculpting,

Moreover, modeling at this age takes no more than 3-5 minutes.

— If a child doesn’t succeed in something, he wants to break his craft, just help him, correct it, show him how to fix it.

Act on behalf of the toy - let it tell him what needs to be done to correct the craft.

Modeling for kids: modeling for children 1-2 years old You can start introducing your baby to the test from the end of the first year of life. At 1-2 years of age, a child becomes familiar with modeling dough as a material and explores it.

Modeling for children 1-2 years old: options for game tasks

"Little Explorer" Place a piece of dough on the modeling board. Let the baby remember it, make indentations in it with his finger, make a hole, pinch off small pieces from a large piece of dough (“feed the chicken with grains”). If a child is afraid to touch the dough, then start playing with the dough yourself, commenting on all your actions. The baby will gradually get used to it and will be drawn to this material and want to play with it.

“We spank with our palm.” Place the play dough on a plate of a contrasting color and invite your child to slap the dough with his palm: slap-slap-slap! Try making holes in the dough with your finger: “Here’s a hole—boom!” And then there was a hole - a finger fell into it - bang! Bang!

“Feed the hen and the cockerel.” Next time during our play session, let a toy chicken and a cockerel come running to the baby and ask him to feed them grains. The baby plucks off small pieces of plasticine and puts them on a plate - “feeding” the cockerel and hen. The guests thank him for the treat!

Game "Ay". Take a piece of play dough and hide a small object, such as a ball, in it. Say: “The ball hid. Where are you? Awww! Let's call him together: aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ball, ah! Where is the ball? Here's the ball! Found!”

Game "One - Many". Hide several objects in a piece of dough, for example, shelled nuts so that their pieces are visible from the dough. Invite your child to get them: “one nut, two nuts, three nuts!” Lots of nuts!”

Display with commentary. A child at this age will not yet be able to sculpt a craft, but he will be able to help you.

• Example 1. Roll a lot of balls yourself. And invite the child to slap them with his hand, making pancakes or pancakes out of them (Yu. A. Razenkova’s technique) and saying each time: “slap, slap, slap.” Place all your pancakes or pancakes on a doll's plate and serve them to the dolls.
• Example 2. You can sculpt any simple crafts yourself in front of your child’s eyes - a mouse, a bear, a bunny - and comment on your actions. Name the parts of the object, their color, size, shape: “I’ll sculpt the eyes. Where are the bear's ears? Here are the ears. Where are Vanya’s (child’s name) ears? Here are the ears! Vanya has big ears, and the bear has small ears. Round! That's what! What are we going to do next?”

Modeling for kids: modeling for children 2-3 years old

At this age, you can sculpt with your child from any materials: clay, plasticine, salt dough, mass and modeling dough, snow.

What can we teach a 2-3 year old child during playful modeling classes: our tasks

• sculpt sticks and sausages (roll out a lump of plasticine between your palms with straight movements),
• connect the ends of the stick, pressing them tightly against each other and getting a “steering wheel”, “ring for a pyramid”,
• roll out a lump of plasticine or clay with circular movements of your palms (we get a bun, a ball, a snowball, a ball, an apple, a berry),
• flatten a lump of plasticine or a ball between your palms (we get a flat cake, cookies, gingerbread),
• make a depression in the middle of a flattened piece of plasticine, pressing with your fingers in the center (we get bowls for three bears, saucers for dolls),
• connect the two resulting parts into one object (connect two balls - you get a tumbler, connect a stick - a sausage and a ball and get a rattle),
• sculpt only on oilcloth on a sculpting board, help an adult clean the table after sculpting (put all objects in their places).

Modeling for children 2-3 years old: sequence of learning to model

At an early age, the child masters the “alphabet of modeling” - the basic techniques of modeling. The basic elements for modeling with a baby are a cylinder (we call it a “stick” for a child) and a ball. From these shapes you can create a variety of shapes with your child.

First stage. Familiarization with materials, games - research. We have already talked about this stage a little higher. If the child is not familiar with modeling dough and plasticine, then we always start from this stage.

Second phase. Rolling out a piece of plasticine/modeling dough/clay to length (receiving a “stick”, “column” or “sausage”, “cylinder”).

• First, the baby learns to roll the dough into a sausage on a board (with our palm we roll a piece of plasticine on the board with forward and backward movements to make a sausage).
• Only then is the child ready to roll out the piece with the same movements between the palms.
• The next complication is making images from our “sausages” - sticks. Making “bagels” from sausages (connecting a stick into a ring).

Third stage. Rolling the ball and flattening the ball into a cake. Combining shapes (ball + stick).

• First, the baby rolls a ball on the table in a circular motion (rolls a piece of plasticine on the table to make a ball).
• Then he masters a more complex movement - rolling a ball between his palms.
• After this, the child is ready to make figures from elements known to him. The form is supplemented with natural materials (for example, to express the image, you can use seeds, twigs, leaves like eyes, a tail, ears, mustache).

Modeling for children 2-3 years old: options for play activities in stages with gradual complication of tasks

First stage: familiarization with materials

— Let's feed the birds (pinching off small pieces of clay or plasticine from a whole piece),

— Norca for the mouse (hide the mouse from the cat) - show the child how you can press your fingers deep into the center of a spherical piece of plasticine to form a “mink” - “hole”).

The second stage – we master rolling out a piece of bread (sausage) in length.

• make pencils for a bear or for any other toy (we teach how to roll out sausages),
• make a branch for the bird (sausage),
• making treats – sausages for puppies (roll out pieces of plasticine into “sausage sticks” and put treats in a toy plate, treat them to toys),
• let's make a fence (We lay out the molded sticks - sausages on the board like a fence. For example, you need to hide the cockerel from the fox by building a fence through which the fox will not pass),
• let's build a ladder (We lay out the sausages we have fashioned on a sheet of paper like a ladder. First we make two long vertical sticks. Then between them we lay out horizontal sticks like steps),
• airplane(connecting two sticks to form an airplane figurine),
• herringbone(We lay out the sticks like a Christmas tree on a modeling board. One long sausage in the center is the trunk of the Christmas tree. We place other green sausages on the sides obliquely - these are the branches of the Christmas tree),
• log house (train station, bus stop from logs): we sculpt a lot of identical sticks and build a structure out of them (like folding a log house or a log well), the roof can be made from a rectangular piece of cardboard or plywood.
• bagels
• pyramid rings (connecting the sausage into a ring),
• bracelets for dolls (connecting the sausage into a ring),
• other options (the child can figure out what his plasticine stick looks like: this is a dog bone, these are cucumbers, these are earthworms, these will be carrots if one end of the stick is made narrow and sharp),
• snail(Option 1. Laying out on a modeling board: twisting the sausage into a spiral. Option 2: “snail crawls.” We put our spiral on the edge, pull one end up and tilt it away from the shell - we get the head of a snail),
• stump for Mashenka and the bear (short wide sausage: “Sit on a stump, eat a pie,” a bunny, a fox, a bird can jump and sit on a stump),
• ribbon (river, road) – flattening the sausage into strips,
• scarf for snowman(scarves for animals) - flattening the sausage into stripes,
• carrot for bunny (when rolling, apply pressure on one side, and you will get not a stick, but a “carrot” with a sharp end on one side),
• snake (We make a long “sausage” from plasticine, bend it like a snake. Cut one end of the “sausage” - this will be the mouth, the head of the snake. We make the eyes of the snake from the seeds. You can place the snake in different ways: a) in a spiral - this is “the snake is sleeping "or b) a winding line - this is “the snake is crawling”),
• nest for a chick (together with the child, we roll out a lot of thin sausages - sticks and from them in a chaotic order we put together a nest, we help the birds “build a nest”),
• bridge(we connect the sticks into a bridge in accordance with your idea, there are many different options).

Third stage – mastering rolling the ball

• let's make balls and play with them (the kid makes balls and then plays with them - rolls them down the slide, rolls them into the hoop),
• modeling a bun for grandparents,
• modeling balls for a kitten (the kitten loves to play with balls),
• sculpting balls,
• modeling rattles (ball + sausage),
• apple(We make a ball and make a small depression in it at the top and bottom with our finger. If the child wishes, you can supplement the craft with a green cutting with a leaf: a) roll out a thin stick - a cutting - from green plasticine, b) then roll out a ball of green plasticine, flatten it slightly - you will get an oval leaf of an apple, attach the leaf to the cutting on the apple),
• tomato(made similarly to an apple, but without the stem and leaf),
• modeling berries (berries are small red balls, we put our “berries” in a basket or on a doll’s plate and treat the toys),
• raspberries for the bear (also red balls - berries),
• candy(making balls - candies for the doll, she will treat her friends with them at her birthday),
• beads(we make multi-colored balls of the same size. To do this, divide a piece of plasticine yourself into equal parts of the same size and give them to the child. We attach the finished beads to a thread),
• pyramid of balls (We make balls of different sizes - to do this, prepare in advance and give the child pieces of plasticine of different colors and different sizes. Then we put them into a pyramid - on the largest ball we put a smaller ball, then we find and put an even smaller ball. We attach a bead or a small bright one to the top plasticine ball)
• let's build a snowman (Roll 3 balls of different sizes, place them on top of each other according to size, decorate the plasticine snowman with seeds or peas for the eyes, a straw for the nose, etc.),
• sculpting a bird or chicken (We make two balls, place them one on top of the other, make eyes from peas or seeds, make a tail from a feather, make a beak by pinching it - pull a piece of plasticine from the ball - head forward so that you get a beak),
• bunny sculpting (We divide a piece of plasticine in half. From the first piece we roll a large ball - the body. We divide the second piece in half again. From the first part we make a small ball - the head. We divide the remaining part in half again - we get two sausages - ears. We make the eyes from natural material - peas, sunflower seeds),
• modeling of a cat, bear, mouse, dog. The head and body are made of balls. We make the ears by pinching them. We complement the image with a mustache (a thin plastic hard strand), eyes (seeds, peas),
• tumbler(The body is a large ball, the head is a small ball, the arms are the two smallest balls, we decorate the roly-poly dress with seeds, we also make the eyes from natural material),
• caterpillar(we connect several balls into a caterpillar, make eyes and a mouth from the seeds),
• cucumbers(we roll balls from green plasticine, and then roll them into a stick - a cylinder, we get cucumbers),
• bananas(we make it similarly to a cucumber, but from yellow plasticine and bend it in the shape of a banana).

Technique for flattening a ball into a flat cake - circle:

• making pancakes(Show how to flatten the ball into a cake - press it with your palm. Bake a pancake for the doll, put them on a toy plate. Let the doll treat all the toys with her pancakes over tea!),
• making vitamins for a doll (we make small multi-colored balls and flatten them into “cakes” - tablets),
• pancakes(we help grandma bake pancakes for tomorrow: we flatten small balls into flat cakes, put them on a doll plate and treat them),
• making a soft mat for a toy pussy (flattening and attaching small parts to the base),
• mushroom(we make a stick - a cylinder. We roll up a ball and flatten it into a disk. We attach the “cap” of the mushroom to its “leg”),
• Sun(we make a ball, flatten it into a “cake” - a disk. Next we make sticks - cylinders. We flatten them into strips. We lay out the stripes around the center of the sun. We make the eyes, nose, and mouth of the sun from seeds or draw them with a stack,
• turtle(roll up a ball, flatten it. Take a small piece of plasticine and roll a ball for the turtle’s head. Take 4 more small pieces of plasticine and roll them into a stick - a sausage, make turtle legs out of them),

All crafts can be made from modeling mass and then dried. You will get vegetables and fruits for playing “shop” and toys.

Modeling with kids- a very useful and very exciting activity for both adults and children. I wish you success and joyful moments of communication with children in the process of modeling!

Modeling books for kids

I wrote this article based on your letters and questions to me. And at the end of it, at the request of readers of the “Native Path” website, I give a list of books that I can recommend on this topic - modeling for the youngest children from one to three years old.

— First part: strips and circles of plasticine.
— Second part: three-dimensional pictures made of plasticine on a picture base.
— Third part: sculpt from dough.

Pinching off - separating a small piece of plasticine using the thumb and forefinger (we use our fingers like tongs). First we press and pull out the piece, and then tear it off.

Topping — use your thumb and forefinger to pull a piece away from the part (we get, for example, a beak).

Compound— press the two parts of the craft together and carefully smooth out the joint.

Rolling out - forming “sausages” (cylinders) from a piece of plasticine using “forward and backward” movements (first with your palm on the table, then between straight, tense palms).

Rolling up- forming a ball from a piece of plasticine using circular movements of the palm on the table or circular movements with straight palms.

Flattening - squeezing a piece of plasticine to give it a flat shape. Flatten a small piece between the index and thumb fingers. Flatten a medium and large piece of plasticine with your palm.

Indentation - making a depression in a piece of plasticine by pressing with the thumb or forefinger.

Why do all children love to sculpt? Why does a modern child need modeling? There is no general answer to some questions because each child perceives the world and shapes it in his own way.

Modeling is one of the types of fine arts in which three-dimensional objects are created from plastic materials. (sometimes embossed) images and entire compositions. The modeling technique is rich and varied, but at the same time accessible even to small children.

Modeling provides an amazing opportunity to model the world and your idea of ​​it in spatially plastic images.

Every child can create their own little plasticine or clay world, but just like a real one! That's why it's so good to play with plasticine toys and put on little performances. Remember plasticine cartoons!

Modeling is the most tangible form of artistic creativity.

The child not only sees what he created, but also touches it, picks it up and changes it as necessary. The main tool in sculpting is the hand (or rather, both hands) Therefore, the level of skill depends on using your own hands, and not with a brush, pencil or scissors. From this point of view, the modeling technique can be assessed as the most unartificial and most accessible for self-mastery. From one lump of plasticine you can create an infinite number of images, each time finding new options and methods, even without the participation of teachers and parents. And if there is enough material, and there is a skillful and at the same time delicate adult nearby who will help and support in time, modeling becomes a favorite pastime for many years.

Modeling classes have a complex effect on a child’s development:

Increases sensory sensitivity, i.e. promote a subtle perception of shape, texture, color, weight, plasticity;

Develop imagination, spatial thinking, general manual skill, fine motor skills;

Synchronizes the work of both hands;

They develop the ability to plan work to implement a plan, anticipate the result and achieve it; if necessary, make adjustments to the original plan;

But the most important and valuable thing is that modeling, along with other types of fine arts, develops the child aesthetically. He learns to see, feel, evaluate and create according to the laws of beauty.

Acquaintance.

Let the child independently become familiar with the material and its properties. Give him plasticine or clay. Don’t show or impose anything, let him do everything himself, driven by natural curiosity.

You can enrich the child's experience if you expand the boundaries of this discovery. Give your child the opportunity to interact with different materials. He will make sure that some of them - dough, snow, wet sand - have similar properties as clay or plasticine. They can be easily changed as desired, giving them any shape.

Experimentation.

The child masters plastic materials and makes new ones "discoveries" . Now he explores not only the properties, but also the scope of his influence on the material. It turns out that he can tear off, pinch off, unscrew from a whole piece a small piece of plasticine or clay, which is easily changed as a result of certain actions. To do this, you need to crumple it, or flatten it, or roll it up, or stretch it, or do something else. You can press it to another piece, and it will not fall, it will stick, it is easily smeared on paper or on a board. You can scratch or draw something on it, and then smooth it over, and the scratched pattern will disappear.

Go to image.

Imprints on snow and sand provide the child with the first visual representation that some substances and materials can preserve an image as certain information.

Children experiment, study, compare different prints, try to determine the source ("Who left the trace?" ) "Footprints" various items stimulate search interest. What mark will a fork leave if it is pressed flat into plasticine? If you stick a fork in with the tines? What if you scratch a block of plasticine with a fork? Prints of various objects - buttons, coins, caps, pencils, lids - make you want to guess and make wishes for others: "What it is?" , "What does it look like?" , “How else can you leave such a “trace”? ?»

Basic forms of modeling.

"Sausage" or a roller is the first form that a child can master independently at 1–1.5 years of age.

In the future, the baby improves his skill - rolling out long and short, thick and thin, single-color and multi-color rollers. And, of course, he sculpts for a reason, but because these are pencils, sticks, candies, a fence, trees and much more. By the age of 2.5 - 3 years, the child begins to pay more attention to the form and tries to convey it more accurately. He modifies the cylinder in all ways available to him and turns it into a donut, a snail, or a pyramid.

How to get a cylindrical shape:

Roll out a piece of plasticine in your palms with longitudinal movements back and forth;

Roll out a piece of plasticine with the tips of two fingers (thumb and index); with this method, very small cylinders and thin flagella are obtained;

How to convert a cylinder shape:

Roll into a ring (bagel, bagel, pyramid rings, wheels, hoop);

Twist into a spiral (balls, snail, snake, flower);

Flatten into ribbon (leaf, scarf);

Roll into a cone (carrot, cap);

Twist or weave 2-3 "sausages" (braid, plant, column);

How to get a spherical shape:

Roll a piece of plasticine in a circular motion;

Roll a piece of plasticine with your fingertips; this method produces very small balls ("eyes" , "spout" etc.);

How to convert the ball shape:

Stretch slightly on both sides and roll out into an ovoid or ellipse. (melon, balloon);

Pull one side (pear, matryoshka);

Roll and bend if necessary (banana, cucumber);

Flatten between palms into a disk (wheel, flatbread);

Roll into a cone (ice cream, pyramid);

Flatten one side into a hemisphere (gingerbreads, beetles);

Make an indentation with your fingers or a pencil (mushroom cap, cup, vase);

Dear parents - experiment, sculpt with your children! Get great pleasure from the process and result of sculpting!

Creative success to you and your children!

Summary of a modeling lesson in the nursery group “Rain”

Abstract “Rain” (modeling, nursery group).

Target: Create images of “rain” from plasticine - pinch off pieces, apply to the background, attach, press, smear, with your fingers.

Task. Arouse interest in depicting rain together with the teacher and other children. Learn to observe the teacher’s design work. Develop sense of shape, hand motor skills, perception. Cultivate interest in natural phenomena, curiosity, independence, interest in joint creativity with the teacher and other children.

Demonstration and handout material: a picture depicting a rainbow with clouds, 1/2 sheets of colored cardboard with the image of a “cloud”, plasticine of different colors (white, red, blue, yellow) for each child, a knife for plasticine, a board for working with plasticine.

Progress of the lesson:

teacher- Guys, why do we so often stay in the group and not go out?

children- Because of the rain.

teacher- Do you know why the clouds cry and it rains?

children- No.

teacher- because the clouds quarreled with the rainbow (I show a photo of the rainbow and the clouds together). Look how beautiful the light clouds were when they were friends with the rainbow. And what a beautiful multi-colored rainbow. Tell me what colors does the rainbow in this picture consist of?

children- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

teacher- Do you know why they fought?

children- We don't know

teacher- You see, they didn’t divide the sky, just like you sometimes can’t divide toys among yourself. But there is a solution, we need to reconcile the rainbow and the clouds again, then the rains will probably stop and we will be able to walk on our site.

To do this, today we will make multi-colored rain from plasticine.

teacher- Look, I have prepared for you pictures of clouds on multi-colored cardboard and multi-colored plasticine.

Tell me the colors of the plasticine that lie in front of you.

children- white, red, blue, yellow.

teacher- Well done! We will make multi-colored rain from this plasticine. Watch carefully how I will make raindrops.

First, I cut off a small piece of yellow plasticine with a special knife for plasticine, roll it into a ball, put it on the cardboard under the cloud pattern and press it with my finger, like this.

Now I do the same with red plasticine (showing).

Do you understand how we can make colorful rain?

children- Yes.

The teacher distributes the blanks to the children and helps them work with plasticine.

teacher- How wonderful you did! And now we will hang our works on the miracle tree in the dressing room opposite the window, so that the clouds can look into it, admire your works and no longer cry, but quickly make peace with the rainbow!
