Plasticine can be called the most common modeling material. Today, there are just a huge number of different kits on sale that can be used to carry out such work. For sculpting, you will need certain tools and materials.

• Stacks. Such a tool is used to obtain grooves of a certain size or shape. If you sculpt professionally and for a long time, a set of stacks can consist of 20 or more items.For a single work, for the first time, 1-2 options are enough, and instead of a special tool, improvised parts can be used - coins or balls, buttons and other small objects.
• Scissors are required when the figure needs to be given an unusual shape. It is best to purchase a compact version with rounded edges.
• A small cloth to remove stains. The material can strongly erode into various surfaces, therefore, immediately after completion of work, the workplace and all tools should be thoroughly cleaned. A hard cloth is suitable for tools, a soft cloth for hands.
• Capacity for water. In some cases, to obtain products of an unusual shape, it is necessary to cool the clay, which heats up with prolonged use. To do this, put it in a prepared bucket of liquid for a few minutes.
• Various shapes that are suitable for cutting out figures. They are sold in many children's stores, if desired, made from an aluminum can.
• Molds are often used when similar relief elements are needed.
• A large medical syringe without a needle for the formation of small flagella. An old garlic maker may work for this purpose.
