You can find out about him a lot of interesting information from the section - Molding. And now we will tell you how to mold a tank, a rose, a typewriter and a dinosaur.

How to make a tank

First we knead clay so that it becomes soft and plastic. Take plasticine green and brown colors, mix them.

So, we begin to model the tank. We mold the rectangular body. Its length should be 1.5 times the width.
We take a plastic knife and cut the upper and lower corners of the body. Also, we cut out small depressions, simulating the tracks of the tank.
Next, we make a turning tower. We do this: create a small ball and press it to a flat surface so that the top results in a little already the bottom. Note that the size of the rotating turret is 3 times shorter and 2 times thinner than the body.
We fix together the resulting details.
Then we make a cannon - it will be a thin cylinder. We attach it to the wire to the turntable.
Then we make hatches. We roll two small balls, flatten them and attach them to the sides of the rotating turret.
With a toothpick or a match we are working on caterpillars, hatches, embrasures.

How to make a rose

To blind a rose is possible in a very simple way.

To do this, we take plasticine red, white, yellow or pink. Mix them.
Roll the ball of the right size and make a pancake from it.
Next, roll the pancake into a tube. You will get a bud of roses. Correct the edges of the bud, slightly bending them outward.
We make thin sausage - the stem of the rose. We put the wire in the center. On the one hand we leave the tip of the wire so that it protrudes from the plasticine. We put a ready bud on it.
The stem can be decorated with leaves of plasticine and small spines.

How to make a car

Let the child choose the color you like and roll out the clay to make it soft.

First you need to decide what kind of machine you want to dodge. This can be a truck, a car, a tractor, etc. The choice depends on the imagination of the child. But the principle of modeling cars is always one.

First we sculpt the body. Smooth the corners, making them more streamlined.
Next, we sculpt the wheels - it will be 4 slightly flattened balls. By the way, you can use buttons for the wheels. We fix the wheels to the body.
After that, we mold out the windows for the car from the white or blue plasticine - two in front and two in the back for the car, and for the truck you only need 2.
From the yellow plasticine we make the headlights in front.
A toothpick can draw out doors and other parts of the machine.

How to dazzle a dinosaur

There are several types of dinosaurs. Now we will tell you how to blind one of them - stegosaurus.

So, take a plasticine green and prepare from it the details of the body of a dinosaur.
Roll balls: 1 large - trunk, 2 smaller - head and tail and 4 more small ones for the hind legs and fore legs.
We shape the balls: we make the head and trunk oval. From the other balls roll the sausages. Make sure that the proportions of the dinosaur are correctly maintained.
We begin to connect the resulting details. Hind legs attach a little overlapping on the trunk, create a hip imitation. The front paws are fixed below the trunk. The head can be planted on the wire to better hold. In yellow, we attach eyes - pinch a bit of plasticine and make small balls from it.
