Modeling from plasticine step by step is the best educational technique for preschool children (from 2-3 to 7 years old)! Children love modeling with clay because they can create anything!
Most of all, children love to sculpt: animals, people, cars, cities. Nowadays it is very popular to sculpt Smeshariki, unicorns, cats, hedgehogs and dragons. Sculpting is very useful. Step-by-step modeling develops creative thinking, imagination, fine motor skills, speech, and logical thinking several times faster.

Mental and personal development while sculpting
When doing sculpting step by step, do it in a fun and playful way. Create a story for the beast you create, and then act it out. Use ideas from fairy tales and cartoons, and act out stories from everyday life.
What do you need for a modeling lesson?
You need high-quality plasticine. For kids, choose very soft plasticine. If it is difficult for the baby to sculpt awkwardly, then his interest in such an activity will quickly pass.
Tools for modeling from plasticine:
- modeling board;
- stacks;
- rolling pins, including those with patterns;
- molds for modeling.
How to teach children to sculpt?
Many parents think that children will begin to sculpt and develop on their own. This is wrong. You will need to be shown how to do it, go through basic lessons. In the future, the child will come up with his own characters, but initially show him how to do it.
Learn how to sculpt basic shapes:
- ball;
- egg (ellipsoid);
- hemisphere;
- cake;
- sausage;
- cylinder;
- cone;
- brick;
- tourniquet;
- spiral.
After this, mold the figures step by step. Choose an interesting animal and make it together. Help the child, praise him!
Modeling in this age group usually takes no more than 20 minutes.
Plasticine pets
In order to start sculpting animals, you must first decide what kind of animal you want to depict.
Try to clearly imagine the image that will be embodied using plasticine. Children, as a rule, choose pets to sculpt. This is due to the fact that they see them quite often, unlike wild ones. Usually, any animal begins to be sculpted from the head. To create it, you need one large ball for the base and two smaller ones for the ears. Next, the required shape is created from these balls.
Eye placement is also important. They should be positioned so that the animal is looking directly at you. Balls are also prepared for the body, paws and tail, if, of course, there is one. An important point will be the connection of all elements into one whole. You can use matches or toothpicks for this. If you use medium-soft plasticine for modeling, you can subsequently play with these animals, creating various storylines involving pets.
Peppa Pig made from plasticine

- Press the red piece onto the work surface, then use your fingers to pull out the flat side to form the hem of the dress.
