Flowers not only look beautiful and have an exquisite aroma. They inspire creativity with their existence. They are depicted in paintings, embroidered and sculpted. Flowers are a great theme for crafts in children's modeling classes. This article will tell you how a child can create a flower from plasticine, dough or clay.

Creativity is an integral part of our life. Some paint voluminous, bright canvases, some knit or crochet, while others come up with beautiful moldings and interior accessories, like a vase with flowers made of cold porcelain. When engaging in a favorite hobby, fantasy and inspired ideas are given vent. Your mood improves. And the wonderful things made with your own hands, will be an excellent and original gift.

Modeling- one of the most famous and accessible types of creativity. You can sculpt from clay, plasticine, culinary mastic, dough or plaster. There are a lot of plastic materials for creating masterpieces. This creative activity has a significant plus - modeling has a great effect on the development of children. Making crafts with your own hands, kids improve fine motor skills, speech, memory and attention. The little ones learn concentration and independence. Children's modeling materials, such as plasticine, dough and clay, are created from safe materials. They have bright colors, plasticity suitable for children's hands, and do not have an unpleasant odor. You can buy them at a specialized arts and crafts store, or you can prepare them yourself at home.

In order to sculpt with your baby, you need to prepare a workplace. Cover the table and the floor around it with paper or oilcloth. Make sure that during the modeling process the furniture does not acquire additional decorative elements in the form of pieces of plasticine or clay.

Kids enjoy imagining their imaginations while sculpting and creating crafts. But sometimes a child may have difficulty creating a whole finished image, and the task of adults is to suggest a topic for crafts to young sculptors. The subject of sculpting can be your favorite cartoon character, a zoo animal, furniture or a pet.

One of the broad topics for sculpting are flowers. They can be made flat or voluminous. Use the first to create a picture or postcard, and put the second in a vase.

Flowers made of plasticine.

Currently, there are about a dozen types of plasticine. There is hard, medium-soft and soft plasticine (plasticine mass for modeling). The latter does not require additional kneading and is suitable for very young children. There are plasticine options with various additives. It can be pearlescent or glow in the dark, and not so long ago plasticine appeared that does not sink in water.

To work you will need:

• Special board for work;
• Knife for cutting plasticine;
• Toothpicks for making holes;
• Additional materials for decoration (Buttons, pieces of foil or fabric, sparkles. In general, everything that your imagination suggests).

The easiest way to work with this material, which is best suited for getting acquainted with plasticine, is smearing. You just need to give your child a piece of cardboard or any other solid base, if necessary, draw the outlines of the future flower and invite him to color it. Only instead of paints there will be plasticine.

Or you can roll the plasticine into a thin cake. Let the baby use a special rolling pin; even an ordinary glass bottle will do. It is worth discussing in detail with the baby the shape, size and color of the image. Then use a knife to cut out the petals and leaves of the flowers and attach them to the base, having first outlined the outline of the flower on it. If desired, use a toothpick to draw veins on the leaves and core. These methods are good for creating cards or paintings. It’s very easy to take a ready-made one as an example or come up with a flower together with your child.

With older children you can sculpt voluminous flowers. Use auxiliary material such as cocktail straws, toothpicks or matches.

Bouquet of sunflowers.

To create you will need:

• Board for work (plastic or glass);
• Plasticine (green, light yellow, red, orange, black, blue);
• Scissors;
• Knife for cutting plasticine.

To create these sunflowers you will need to mix several colors of plasticine.

The bouquet of sunflowers is ready

Knapweed.

To work you will need:

• Board for work;
• Yellow, blue and green plasticine;
• Knife for cutting.

To create a flower you need:

The cornflower is ready.

Dough flowers.

Play dough is great for activities with little ones. You can buy it or make it from natural ingredients at home with your own hands. In the latter case, even if the baby drags it into his mouth, nothing bad will happen. The ingredients for the test are simple and can be found in every home. All you need is water, salt and flour. You can optionally add dye to the dough or decorate the finished product. It is important to remember that the colors will lighten slightly after heat treatment of the dough. Varnishing or sculpting with a more intensely colored material would be a solution.

Dough rose.

This option is very simple, and you can offer it to your baby. To prepare you will need:

• Work board;
• Rolling pin;
• Dough of suitable colors (in this case pink and green);
• Cutting knife;
• Cookie cutters. Round and heart-shaped.

The dough rose is ready. All that remains is to dry it in the air or in the oven.

Clay flowers.

Clay is a wonderful material for sculpting. It comes in several types. Natural clay is formed as a result of the destruction of rocks. It comes in white, red, green, blue and even black. And there is a material called polymer clay. It contains so-called plasticizers, which, when exposed to temperatures of 100-130°C, cause the clay to harden. Polymer clay is also called a self-hardening mass (like cold porcelain), which is very often used in making flowers. It can be multi-colored, transparent, with sparkles and even glowing in the dark.

Yellow rose made of polymer clay.

You can take the same tools and equipment as when modeling from plasticine or dough.

• Board for work;
• Cutting tools;
• Rolling pin;
• Yellow polymer clay.

The master class offered below in step-by-step photos is so simple that no description in words is required. You just need to look at the image carefully. At the same time, it is better to sculpt such a rose for children under the close attention of adults.

There are a huge number of flowers in the world and there is one for every person. Let the kids sculpt with pleasure, depict real flowers and come up with fantasy ones.

Guys, look how many guests we have in our group today.

Let's say hello to them.

A minute to enter the day.

I'm very glad to see

Dear friends to all of you!

Come out, stand in a circle (children stand in a circle)

On the left is a friend, and on the right is a friend (the children smile at the neighbor on the right and left).

Touch your friend affectionately (they choose a mate and hold hands)

Spin around with him (spin around)

Touch each other's cheeks (they touch each other's cheeks).

Wink and hug! (hug each other)

Sit on the bench.

Guys, I came to kindergarten today, and there was a letter in our mailbox. Look at the envelope. From whom do you think? (children's assumptions)

Let's open it and find out.

Guys, this is a letter from the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow, from the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz. Listen to what they wrote.

Hello guys of the Zvezdochka group, your friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, are writing to you. Today, May 18, is our friend Ellie’s birthday and we would like to give her flowers. But there are none in the Emerald City.

Help us please.

Guys, how can we help the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman? (children's answers). Why can't we send fresh flowers?

That's right, they will wither. I suggest you make flowers from plasticine.

And you will find out how we will sculpt flowers when you go to the tables.

Explanation:

You and I have plates on our tables; on this plate we will make a bouquet of flowers for Ellie.

Let's look at my bouquet. What does it consist of? (from a vase, flowers and leaves).

What parts does a flower consist of? (petals and core).

How many petals are there in each flower? (5)

How many flowers? (3)

What color are they? (yellow, pink, orange)

How can you name flowers of different colors, in one word? (multi-colored)

Where is the vase located on the plate? (center, bottom)

How flowers and leaves are arranged on the plate. (in a vase, in the center of the plate)

Look how I will sculpt a flower.

I roll out a thin, small roller and roll it into a spiral - this will be the core of the flower. Like this. Then I take 5 pieces of pink plasticine and roll them out into balls and flatten them slightly. Like this. These will be the petals of the flower. I attach the petals around the core of the flower. I got a pink flower. This is exactly how I make an orange and yellow flower. All I have to do is make the leaves. I take green plasticine, then roll out a roller between my palms and use a stack to divide it into 8 parts: first I divide the roller in half using a stack, put one piece aside, and divide this one in half again. In the same way, I will divide the set aside piece of plasticine. I will divide each piece received in half. It turned out to be eight pieces. From each piece you need to make a leaf. To do this, I roll out a piece of plasticine between my fingers to form a small roller. I flatten it between my fingers and it turns out to be an oval (oblong) leaf. I use a stack to scratch the veins of the leaf. Like this. After I have made both flowers and leaves, I can make a composition, a bouquet.

Where should I place the bouquet? (in a vase in the center of the plate).

First I arrange the flowers above the vase, and between the flowers and above the flowers I arrange the leaves. This is the bouquet of flowers I got.

Before we get started, we need to prepare our fingers. Repeat after me.

Finger gymnastics “Flowers”

Our delicate flowers open their petals

The breeze breathes slightly, the petals sway.

Our delicate flowers close their petals,

They shake their heads and quietly fall asleep.

Let's remember where you start? (flower)

Where do you start sculpting a flower? (from the core)

How will you sculpt the core? (roll out the roller and twist it into a spiral)

How will you make flower petals? (roll out the ball and flatten it)

How will you make the leaves? (divide the roller into 8 parts, roll out the parts into a small roller and flatten)

When the flowers and leaves are ready, what should you do? (make a bouquet, composition)

What will you put in the bouquet first? (flowers)

Where will you place the leaves? (between the flowers and above the flowers).

Get to work.

Independent activities of children:

Practical work for children. Individual assistance. Calm music sounds. Children make their own flowers and leaves.

At the end of the work, the children place the compositions on the prepared table.

The final part. Reflection:

Look, guys, how beautiful your bouquets turned out, it’s immediately obvious that you tried very hard.

Guys, what was difficult for you to create? What happened immediately and easily? (Ask 2-3 children) Which bouquet did you like best? Why? Let's invite our guests to admire our creativity. We helped the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and I think Ellie will really like our bouquets. Well done everyone! Thanks everyone!

It's time to say goodbye to our guests and see you again.
