The hamburger can be thin or layered. After spending a few minutes, the child with his craft will expand the menu for dolls and get a positive impression of the sculpting process.

A hamburger is a bun that is cut in half and contains a juicy cutlet and other additives such as lettuce, tomato and curd cheese. The burger is easy to sculpt, in addition, the child, choosing the filling for fast food, develops creative thinking. Traditional ingredients can be substituted with other ones, or even fantastic ones if the dolls inhabit spaceship orbit.

Tools for sculpting a hamburger:

• plasticine: beige, white, brown, green, red, yellow;
• skewer;
• stack;
• plastic knife.

It is very important to take care of the presence of beige plasticine, because this shade has the maximum resemblance to flour products... Brown shades are suitable for sausages or cutlets, and the red mass will be indispensable for ketchup or tomatoes.

Such a hamburger is easy to mold, and the result is a very beautiful and bright craft. It is perfect for dolls, in the house of which a meal is being prepared. Let's consider the main stages of work.

• Take a beige block from the set. If you don't really like the color, you can make beige yourself by mixing a piece of brown and white plasticine.

• We roll the block into a small ball and put it in the refrigerator. This is necessary in order for the mass to freeze a little (10 minutes will be enough).

• Cut the circle into halves (the upper and lower parts of the future hamburger). Let the top remain as it is, and slightly flatten the bottom.

• We take green plasticine for the filling. (the color should resemble lettuce leaves) and make 3 small balls.

• Flatten the balls and we make something like an accordion out of them.

• On the bottom of the beige plasticine we put green (lettuce leaves).

• Now let's make the most important hamburger ingredient - cutlet... To do this, take brown plasticine and make 2 small circles. Let's flatten them.

• Using a skewer, make holes along the edge of the cutlets. Place on lettuce leaves.

• Now we take yellow plasticine and form 2 square processed cheese from it... We put only one on the cutlet so far.

• Now we sculpt 3 round tomato slices... To do this, take red plasticine, flatten 3 pieces and draw the texture of a cut tomato.

• Putting the circles on the cheese, add another cutlet on top, and put cheese on top of it.

• The filling is ready. It remains to add the top slice of the bun. For completeness, the top of the hamburger can be garnished with sesame seeds (white plasticine is suitable for imitation).

Light plasticine is good because it stretches well, it does not need to be warmed up, and in the hands it resembles velvet. Since plasticine dries quickly, you need to work with it at the highest possible speed.

The step-by-step progress of work is as follows.

1. First of all, knead the beige plasticine in our hands, giving it the shape of an oval.
2. Knead a green piece of plasticine and place it on the bottom of the hamburger (lettuce leaves should slightly extend beyond the edges of the flour product).
3. Next, we lay the red plasticine, flattening it in advance (it will be a tomato).
4. Now it's the turn of the cutlets: we take the brown mass and knead it (we take into account that the cutlet should be thicker than the rest of the ingredients). Using a toothpick or other tool, we make the texture of the cutlet on its sides.
5. Put processed cheese on top of the cutlet, turn it into a square. The cheese should go beyond the edges of the cutlet. Bend the corners down slightly.
6. Cover the top of the hamburger. To do this, take beige plasticine and make it slightly airy. You can add white blotches that mimic sesame seeds.
