How to mold Nyusha from plasticine, what is needed for this, and how to build the process of creation step by step, will be discussed in this article.

In addition to free time and good mood, you will need simple materials to create plasticine Nyusha.

• Plasticine... You will need a material of several colors. Pink will be the main color, because the little body of a funny pig will be made from it. You will also need small pieces of brown, red and black.
• Modeling board. The presence of a board for working with plasticine will ensure the cleanliness of the workplace.
• Stack... This tool will allow your little one to make the embossed details more beautiful. During the work, it is necessary to show how to use the stack, and when to use it.
• Matches... Plasticine products often need a frame. As such, matches will be used during Nyusha's sculpting.
• Picture with the image of Nyusha. It is not difficult to find such a picture, the image of a pig is often found in children's books. The presence of a visible image of the toy being created will help the child consciously make every detail, make it extremely similar and place it in the right place.

Even if there are already toy characters from the Smeshariki cartoon at home, Nyusha, made with her own hands from plasticine, will become an expensive toy for children. To mold this funny pig out of plasticine, you need to draw up a clear plan. All actions must be performed in stages.

• Making the torso... In the picture, you need to consider Nyusha's little body, paying attention to its shape and color. Now you can knead the pink plasticine and make a ball out of it, which will become the body.

• Hair styling... Nyusha's hairstyle consists of a short braid and 2 strands, they are made from pieces of red plasticine. The hair is attached to the sides of the ball, starting from the crown and lowering on both sides. A pigtail is attached from above so that it sticks out vertically. The pigtail is decorated with a white bow.

• Creation of a peephole. Brown plasticine is used to blind Nyusha's eyes. 2 small balls for the eye contour are rolled out of it. Pieces of white and black plasticine will be used to create pupil proteins. The finished eyes are fixed on the pig by flattening them. As a complement, glare from white plasticine is used.

• Installation of eyebrows. Eyebrows are made in the form of 2 small rollers of red plasticine. They are fixed above the eyes and complemented with black eyelashes.

• Piglet nose made from pink plasticine. Fasten it under the eyes. In the center of the patch, 2 nostrils are made, 2 small brown balls are inserted inside them to make the nostrils more noticeable. Below, under the patch, a smiling mouth is made of red plasticine, and cheeks in the form of red hearts are placed on either side of it. On top of the head, triangular pink ears are attached, complementing with a red insert.

Now it remains to put Nyusha on her feet. Her legs and arms are like short sticks. They are molded from pink plasticine and complemented with red hooves. So that the legs and handles do not bend or fall off, you can insert the halves of matches inside them.

At this stage, the work can be considered completed. Now all that remains is to attach a small funny crochet tail to the figure and go with Nyusha to a meeting with her funny friends: Krosh, Sovunya, Karych and Losyash.

Working with plasticine is an exciting activity that contributes to the development of creativity, fine motor skills of a child, forms perseverance, imagination, volumetric thinking.

During this work, the child not only contemplates the fruits of his activity, but he himself is involved in this amazing process, sculpting the details.

The lesson should not be limited only to modeling, in the process of work it is necessary to communicate with the baby all the time.

Special attention should be paid to some points.

• Considering the picture, you need to focus on the shape of Nyusha's body in the form of a ball. It is necessary to discuss what he saw and ensure that the child speaks out the name of this geometric figure, clarifies the shades of plasticine used in the work, and is able to tell about the character himself.

• When starting work, it is necessary to explain to the baby why are the materials used and how to use them. Being engaged in the creative process, the child will not only develop imagination and imaginative thinking, but will also learn to be more assiduous and patient, as well as more accurate.

• This work will introduce the child with the basics of fire safety. Using matches, it is necessary to explain to him that it is impossible to take them without the presence of elders.
