How to mold a motorcycle from plasticine?

Many original vehicles can be created using plasticine, and the motorcycle is no exception. This craft includes a huge number of details, so the child may not be able to cope with it on his own, as a result of which he will need the help of an adult.

First of all, you need to prepare tools and materials. Modeling a motorcycle assumes the presence of plasticine blocks in red, gray, black and yellow colors. In addition, you will need a knife and stacks to give texture to the craft, as well as a nail stick. A simple version of a plasticine motorcycle is created as follows.

Plasticine is taken in gray in order to form the main element of the motorcycle. To do this, it will be necessary to give the material a rounded shape, and the right side of it needs to be slightly stretched. An oval shape is created from a red piece of plasticine, which will play the role of a fuel tank.

In addition, from the same material in the same color scheme, the seats are made, which differ in an oblong shape. To make the seats curved, you can apply slight pressure to the seats. After that, the two parts are fastened together. The bulk of the clay is under the seat. Black and gray plasticine is used to create the wheels.

The black material rolls into small balls, but the gray material is needed to create tires. You just need to make small cakes, which in the future are attached to the center of the blanks. The result is a fairly original and authentic wheel.

Now it's time to create the frame and handlebars, which are made from thin strips of black. These strips extend from the front wheel and connect to the wall of the fuel tank. Very often the first time it is not possible to achieve the desired length of the strips, so if necessary, you can cut off the excess with a knife. On the top of these strips, the steering wheel is fixed, which has a curved shape. At each end there are small black sausages that act as holders.

A large headlight is glued to the top of the frame, which is created from yellow plasticine. In addition, if desired, on the sides, you can create several more small headlights from the same material.

There are a huge number of motorcycles on the modern market, so the process of creating this vehicle from plasticine may include other nuances. For example, gray and black plasticine can be used for the body and wheels, and some parts can be made red or blue.

An alternative process for creating a motorcycle in stages from plasticine is as follows. First you need to create a medium sized shape to create a red fuel tank. To do this, you need to knead a little material in the appropriate color scheme and create the main part, and then give it a suitable shape.

Wheels are created from identical balls, which are best made from black plasticine. In order to give them the necessary shape, it is worth using a board or wooden surface. It is advisable to start fastening from both sides, and gray plasticine is usually used for the central part of the wheel. Parts and elements on wheels should be as symmetrical as possible on each side. Now you should attach the wheels to the frame.

To create the frame, you can use gray tubes, which will also support the wheels and the curved steering wheel. For the frame at the front of the vehicle, it takes a red material that will attach to the black seat and connect to the fuel tank.

We create blanks for the lanterns. One lantern is large, the other five are small. After they are done, each must be installed in its place in the front and rear of the vehicle.

Boys are usually involved in the creation of a motorcycle from plasticine, who since childhood have a weakness for such vehicles. In order for the child to be as interesting as possible to do this business, it is best to allow him to independently choose the most suitable motorcycle model for him. To do this, you can show him several models so that he can choose the one that he likes the most. It should be noted that the creation of a motorcycle requires the manufacture of many parts, so you cannot do without the help of an adult. Also, it is best to use a board that allows you to create rounded elements with ease.

Close attention must also be paid to the quality of plasticine, which should not include any carcinogenic and harmful substances. The ideal material is medium hard plasticine, which the child can handle on his own. Thus, a plasticine motorcycle will be a great way to engage in creative activities with your child. With a competent approach and the use of high-quality materials, it will be possible to get an interesting product at the end that will surely delight the child, will allow him to gain new skills and positive emotions.
