Playdough Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are popular heroes in cartoons and movies. Many children like them, and in order to always have your favorite hero at hand, you can sculpt him out of plasticine. Such a craft is not difficult, but then you can play it later. The product can easily replace an expensive toy.

Michelangelo's ninja turtle is molded from plasticine for fifteen minutes.

A step-by-step master class is as follows.

1. It is necessary to tear off the smaller piece from the common piece and help the child to knead it in his hands. So the plasticine becomes more malleable.
2. Next, the piece is divided into two parts. One will be used to shape the torso, the other for the head.
3. We turn one part into an oval and flatten it a little with our fingers at the top. We make the body flatter.
4. We connect both parts. You can put them on a toothpick.
5. We use a stack to form the future mouth, and put a small piece of white plasticine there.
6. We take 4 more pieces of green plasticine and form "sausages" from them. These will be arms and legs.
7. For the legs, flatten the parts at the bottom and attach to the body. We do the same with our hands.
8. We make a shell from a brown ornamental material.
9. Now we make a mask and stick it on the face.
10. The eyes are molded separately, then attached to the head.
11. You can draw the muscles on the belly, so the toy will look more believable.
12. The final stage is the production of bandages.

Any other figurine can be made according to the same principle. The only difference is that colored plasticine will be used for decoration, which matches the tone of the bandages of the heroes of the famous cartoon.The body and head are made of green plasticine. The carapace is made brown. The stack helps to outline the folds and musculature. In many ways, the child should be helped, since he will not be able to do all the elements on his own.

The frame on which the body parts are fitted is optional. But if it is decided to use it, matches and even thin wire are suitable. Any plasticine modeling is a unique way to develop hand motility.

Those who constantly work with plasticine know that their hands can get stained when working with it. To avoid this, before starting to make crafts, it is worth lubricating the child's hands with fat cream or any oil.

Play dough itself can be tough. It becomes soft and pliable only in the hands of a person. To make it easier for the child to work with him, you should first warm up the craft material. It is always easier for an adult to knead it to the required state. It is also good to put the clay in a warm place for a while, but you need to make sure that it does not drip, since this also happens.

You can fix the craft with colorless varnish, with which the finished product is covered on top. When the toy is dry, the child can safely use it, plunging into their own fantasies.

This is one of the ways how inexpensively you can make a toy with your own hands and at the same time have a good time with your baby.
