It helps to develop fine motor skills of fingers, promotes development, and at the same time helps to learn in this game process. To interest the child, try to sit down with him and figure out how to mold animals from plasticine.

First, prepare all the materials. To clay was not evenly smeared across all surfaces in the house, it is better to lay a table with the paper on which you will sculpt. In addition, to roll out plasticine, you need a plastic dostochka: the plastic does not stick to the plastic. Also, in advance, provide yourself with a clean cloth for hands, stacks for cutting plasticine, a pair of toothpicks and a good mood - without it, well, just can not do!

We will begin to understand how to mold animals from plasticine together with the child. And the first thing that needs to be done is to decide who we will sculpt. Of course, it's best if you have a picture of the desired animal - from books, cartoons or toys. Give the child himself to name the animal and show in the picture who he wants to portray. At the same time let him practice training other animals in the pictures and depict what sounds they make, where they live and what they eat, if your baby is older.

Next, prepare plasticine: select together with the child those brusochki, which will be needed to sculpt a particular beast. Let him call the colors of plasticine and what parts of the body will be made of these pieces. Then the clay should be warmed in the palms, so that it is well sculpted. Do it together. And only after that we can begin to tell how to mold animals from plasticine.

Roll a larger ball out of plasticine - it will be the torso. Small details - smaller balls - will be ears, eyes, an animal's nose. Let them roll to the kid - so he will learn to feel and handle small details and objects. Then prepare the paws: for them just need toothpicks. Show the child how to make out of plasticine elongated sausages, rolling them between the palms, and suggest making the paws together equally - two he and two you. And just collect the workpiece together on the toothpicks. Just make sure that your child does not prick the sharp edges of the sticks. Now that the sculpture is ready, offer the baby to fix it on the board so that the clay hardens.

While your work will dry, wash your hands together and wipe them with a cloth. When they dry, it is best to wash them with soap again. And of course, take care of the cleaning of the workplace - show the child how to put plasticine in the box, where to put it, so that later he himself watched the purity of his "workshop". Ask him to figure out how to mold animals from plasticine that you have not tried to do yet. It is necessary to interest him in the next session of modeling.

So you will spend time together with the child cheerfully and informative, and animals from plasticine will in the future remind you of how your baby grew and developed, and how well you were together to play and learn modeling.
