How to mold a Cheburashka from plasticine?

Knowing how to mold a Cheburashka from plasticine, parents and educators will definitely be able to convey this useful knowledge to their children. Modeling with chestnuts and acorns has its own important features, which will also have to be taken into account.

Inspiration and desire to make an attractive hero, alas, will not be enough. Other components are also required. First of all, you should stock up on plasticine. It should be:

• orange;

• brown;

• red;

• black;

• white flowers.

Normal work is possible if you use a plasticine and stack knife. Some subtle manipulations are performed with a toothpick. A plank is also useful, to which the stucco mass will not stick.

Before you mold a Cheburashka from plasticine, you need to master its characteristic external features and say them aloud again. They are:

• in a huge head (it slightly exceeds the body);

• even bigger ears;

• four-fingered limbs;

• a small fluffy tail.

To make a product of the fantasy of a famous writer step by step for children, you need:

1. roll 4 balls of brown plasticine (a pair of balls will go to the body and head, and a couple to the ears);

2. flatten the ball a little both below and above;

3. make an almost perfectly round face - orange or coffee-colored plasticine goes to it;

4. attach this face to the head;

5. prepare a couple of "dents" under the eyes;

6. sculpt the eyes themselves in the form of white cakes;

7. perform black pupils, complemented by small white highlights;

8. form medium-sized eyebrows and a triangular nose (all these details are brown);

9. prepare a red mouth;

10. make ears from small balls;

11. slightly stretch the oval body, narrow it at the top;

12. to arrange an oval flat cake "belly" - necessarily the same color as the face;

13. insert a toothpick into the upper part of the body and attach the head to it, making sure that it turns in different directions;

14. roll a couple of sausages out of brown plasticine;

15. smooth and stick handles;

16. form cuts on them that will become fingers;

17. complement the handles with sharp black claws;

18. roll 3 small balls from brown plasticine - they will become legs and a tail, respectively.

It is quite possible to make a Cheburashka out of cones in stages. Take 6 pine cones for work, 2 of which should be smaller than the rest.

With the help of plasticine, they collect the figure of a fantastic animal. Small bumps are used to get the legs. Subsequent registration goes like this:

1. modeling of parts of the face, abdomen and arms;

2. gluing the prepared figure on the cardboard;

3. sculpting a grassy area around it.

The head is made from a round piece. Yellow plasticine will allow you to create an oval muzzle of an exotic inhabitant of the tropics.

It is imperative to reproduce such features as a triangular nose, round eyes with a naive look and very short eyebrows.... When the muzzle is ready, it is attached to the head. The next step is to put your ears on plasticine.

When this is done, it will remain:

1. arrange the body from a large chestnut or several acorns;

2. sculpt a spherical neck;

3. add tubes that will become the handles of the Cheburashka;

4. make these tubes different in width at the edges;

5. dock the head and body;

6. prepare fingers with a stack, pushing the necessary grooves with effort;

7. blind oval bast shoes;

8. to achieve the strength of the craft (be sure to check whether it overturns itself in a standing position);

9. attach the remaining parts to the body;

10. check the appearance, if necessary, smoothen it additionally.

Connoisseurs of sculpting give a few more recommendations:

• softening any color, using a yellow impurity helps to make it warmer;

• a dent in the torso (for setting the head) can be done even with a finger, without using any tools;

• the head should be pressed against the body as tightly as possible;

• the claws should be made as thin as possible.
