Wolf from plasticine: a few simple recommendations

Three-four-year-old children - this is the category with which it is quite possible to talk about how to mold a wolf from plasticine. Before you start directly to work, you can bring a few facts from the life of a gray predator, tell about the role that is assigned to him in nature. Kids will be useful to remind about Russian folk tales, where he is the main character.

In this material, we consider two ways of modeling an animal. The choice of one or the other of them will depend on the age of the child. The main thing is that the resulting wolf from plasticine Liked the baby and aroused his further interest in this kind of creativity.

We sculpt a wolf in the first way

In this case, cones will be taken as a basis. As a result, you should get a simple figure of the animal. From the materials you need a gray clay. If it does not exist, it does not matter. You can go the other way and mix plasticine of two colors: black and white. The first step is to divide the block into three unequal parts. One of them (the one that is bigger) is used for modeling the trunk. Two other parts (they should be equal in size), we will go to the muzzle, tail and paws.

So, we understand how to make a wolf from plasticine. We begin work from the trunk and head. A conical shape can be chosen for the head. Do not forget about ears. They need a little pinch. We glue the head with the trunk. From the half of the remaining plasticine we roll the ball. Using the stack, cut it into two parts. This is the wolf's paws. We still have leftovers. Now you need to roll a tail out of them in the form of a sausage. The resulting parts are also connected to the trunk.

Our wolf from plasticine is almost ready. You just need to add his eyes and nose. To do this, take the black plasticine and roll out of it two small balls (these are the eyes) and one slightly more (for the nose). We attach them to the muzzle. The handicraft is ready. If the child is three or four years old, then the work can be completed. With older children, you can work on complicating the model, adding details to your taste.

How to make a wolf from plasticine in the second way

We do head and tail in the same way as in the first case. The body will be different. Our animal will have four legs. This will add plasticity to the animal figure. The wolf can not only stand, but also sit. This method of modeling is slightly more complicated, therefore it will suit creators of four or five years. We start with the rolling out of the sausage, it needs to be flattened a little. At this stage we cut our paws. This is done by cutting the incisions with a stack on both sides of the trunk.

Then you need to try and bend the torso of the wolf with an arch, paws should be diluted slightly to the sides. The muzzle and tail - these two remaining details can not be difficult to adhere to an already ready torso. The thing is done - another wolf from plasticine is ready. And in this case his figure can be supplemented with minor details.

General recommendations

After studying the above methods of modeling, you can mold any other animal with your own hands. The main thing is to prepare the necessary materials in advance, calculate your own time and reserve yourself with a little patience (after all, it will not always turn out all at once).
