Although it seems to many that modeling is a difficult task and not everyone can do it, in fact it is not. Everyone can make wonderful items by following simple guidelines and following the instructions step by step. The article gives some simple examples of how to sculpt vegetables and fruits from plasticine.

Why sculpt?

How to diversify a child's leisure time, make it not only interesting, but also useful? You can read, put together mosaics and puzzles, assemble a constructor, draw or sculpt people, animals, vegetables and fruits from plasticine.

In general, modeling is a very useful activity for all children. It expands horizons, develops fantasy and imagination, reveals creative abilities. When a child makes figures, such as vegetables or fruits, from plasticine, fine motor skills of the hands are involved, which is responsible for speech, thinking, and attention. Also, the process itself will bring considerable pleasure to adults. Mom and child will have a wonderful time in company with each other, making a funny tiger cub or Smeshariki.

One of the easiest creative optionsis the modeling of vegetables and fruits from plasticine. Beginners can easily cope with this task.

Bananas

It's very easy to mold bananas from yellow plasticine! First you need to roll up two plump elongated sausages, bend them slightly. Then, with a sharp object (for example, a toothpick), draw several longitudinal shallow grooves along them. Now make the sausage thinner and shorter with a small process in the middle. Stick two bananas to this process - you get a bunch.

If you did everything right, your plasticine bananas will be the same as in the picture above.

Carrot

To make a carrot, you will need two pieces of plasticine - orange and green. First, we sculpt the blanks:

• root crop - we roll an orange sausage, narrowed at one end. The wider tip needs to be flattened a little with your finger. With something sharp (a toothpick, for example), we draw short transverse stripes along the root;
• stem - roll a green ball, flatten it with your fingers on both sides, then narrow one end a little. With a toothpick, we draw deep wide furrows in the direction from the wide edge to the narrow one (as shown in the picture).

Now the simplest thing left is to assemble a carrot from blanks. To do this, stick the stalk with a narrow side to the wide edge of the root crop. plasticine vegetableready! Did you get the same as in the picture?

Tomato

There is nothing easier than making a tomato! Even three-year-olds can handle this task.

Again, you need to start with blanks. First, we make the fruit, for which we roll a ball of red plasticine. Now, in two stages, we make a green stalk with leaves: first, you need to roll a ball out of the material of the corresponding color, then use two fingers to pull out five short sausage-leaves from it.

The last step is to collect our tomato, that is, we simply attach a green stalk with leaves to the red ball. If everything is done correctly, you will get a vegetable, as in the picture below.

Grape Bunch

Grapes are a berry, not a vegetable or fruit. But for a change, we will learn how to mold a bunch of grapes. Moreover, doing this is no more difficult than making a tomato. First, we prepare the details: berries and leaves.

To do this, roll 12-15 small balls from lilac plasticine, each of which is slightly flattened with our fingers, giving them an irregular shape. Next, we blind three volumetric ovals (they should resemble an egg in shape) and squeeze them well on both sides so that they become flat.

The next step is to fasten all the berries (lilac balls) together in the form of a cone, and stick three green leaves on top (on the wide part). Grapethe bunch is ready!

Now you are convinced that modeling vegetables and fruits from plasticine is a simple and interesting activity? Here's what we ended up making - bananas, carrots, tomatoes, and a bunch of grapes.

With a little imagination, you can make any vegetables and fruits from plasticine: apples, pears, plums, watermelon, cabbage, peas, onions, radishes, eggplants and others.

Interesting design

There should be aesthetics in everything. Therefore, vegetables and fruits made from plasticine cannot simply be thrown into a box, they must be beautifully laid, for example, in a basket or on a plate. The child will do it with pleasure.

Here on a plate are eggplants like real ones.

Another plate filled with a variety of plasticine vegetables. On it we see green peas, radishes, carrots, cabbage and even a small pumpkin in the center of the composition.

And here the craftsmen put all their products in a basket. Also a very interesting solution. Try it yourself, and you will see that modeling fruits from plasticine (and vegetables, of course) is an entertaining thing.
