Molding of plasticine for children from 1.5 years. The initial stages of modeling crafts from plasticine
Modeling with plasticine is not only fun, it isbrings tangible benefits to the baby. When the baby sculpts, he develops his creative right hemisphere of the brain. Fine motor skills improve, and attention, speech functions, motor and visual memory, logical thinking depend on its development. A creative view of the world and imagination develops. The child gains an understanding of shape and color. With a baby 1.5 - 2 years old, you can already start sculpting from plasticine. Let the parents create crafts and involve the baby in this creative process. At first, the child will simply separate pieces of plasticine and scatter them. And in order not to stain the floor, you can offer the young creator a board or a saucer to attach them to. At the moment, there is safe plasticine on a plant basis. And if the little sculptor accidentally stains furniture, carpets or himself in the creative process, the plasticine can be easily removed from the hair and carpet. And yet it would be better not only to offer him a board for modeling, but also to cover the work corner with paper or oilcloth, lay paper on the floor next to the baby's chair. This will save the furniture and all other interior details from being decorated with plasticine. It is very important to think about the lighting. The light source should be positioned so that the child can clearly see the entire field of creative activity. It is necessary to ensure that the child does not rub his eyes with hands stained with plasticine and does not try to taste it. After completing the creative program, it is also necessary to wash your hands thoroughly.
When your baby gets tired of just playing and pinchingpieces of plasticine, you can move on to more intricate tasks. To prepare and practice, let the baby roll a pencil or a ball in the palm of his hand. A whole modeling technique is based on smearing and pressing. Basic models are a flat cake, a ball, a roller and a cone. For children under 2 years old, this is quite difficult. In order to mold them, the child must have the necessary level of motor development.
It is necessary to engage the child in the creative process.You can make up a whole story about making cookies or pancakes to treat his favorite toy. Let him or her make a ball out of plasticine on their own. Then you need to prompt the baby to press a finger on it, turning the ball into a cookie cake.
The cone is difficult to execute.After all, first the child must make a ball, then roll it out, applying more force to one side than to the other. When the child has learned all the basic skills, you can offer to mold something more complicated.
Create animals or people from the partsthe baby can't do it on his own yet. It will be much easier for him to "pull out" a figure from a whole piece of material. Then you can mold decorations for it from plasticine of a different color or use foil, paper or fabric for decoration. Even a candy wrapper will do. At the first stages, you will need to mold together, but when the baby understands how and what to do, he will mold everything on his own. With very young children 1.5-2 years old, you can work with ready-made patterns. You can stick a Christmas tree cut out of cardboard, decorate it with balls of plasticine of a different color, pieces of foil and everything that comes to the young creator's mind.
You can also use molds for your worksand. You can create a new shade of plasticine. You can mix up to 3 colors. The selected colors need to be rolled into a roller, bent and rolled again. Repeat the operation until the desired shade is obtained. There are a great many ideas for modeling. And plasticine will help develop the baby's creativity, imagination and imaginative thinking. .
