How to make a plasticine rocket?

After reading this article, you can learn how to make a plasticine rocket for children 5-6 years old with your own hands. Also, readers will find out how to blind a child as early as 3-4 years old. It also describes how to sculpt rockets with a bump step by step.

The romance of distant space travels for children aged 3-4, of course, is not yet available. However, it is quite possible to begin their introduction to such a topic. Plasticine construction will be a more attractive way than gluing paper or cardboard. Important: it is useful to discuss how the rocket is to be made step by step with the child himself. The color and dimensions of the craft should suit him, otherwise there will be a rejection of the molding itself in general.

The body is usually brown. Standard sequence of steps:

1. rolling a piece into a ball;
2. converting a ball to a cylinder;
3. creating a blue cone;
4. fastening parts together;
5. sculpting of a purple accelerating unit (3 "sausages" are simply smoothly remade into an oblong cone);
6. the creation of a small red ball (with the help of a stack, cuts are prepared, achieving a resemblance to fire);
7. sculpting portholes from colored balls and attaching them to the rocket body.

But this does not always end with it. It makes sense to try to make the design more consistent with the real appearance of a space rocket.... Aluminum foil will help with this. Its piece is shaped like a cone. It's quite simple: roll the "sausage" by pressing on one edge, and then cut off the opposite edge.

Next steps:

1. thin foil winding;
2. attachment of 4 smaller workpieces;
3. girdling the rocket body with a thin "sausage".

To decorate the simplest rocket, use:

• toothpicks;
• buttons;
• beads;
• wires;
• peas;
• cereals;
• nuts and bolts.

There is another simple way to design a plasticine rocket.... The craft begins by rolling the cone in the form of a carrot. To make the lower part smoother, the structure must be pressed tightly against the board. Prepare 3 slices from a thick cocktail tube. They are stuck into the cone from below. You can replace the tubes with thick pieces of plasticine. The windows are formed from buttons. Of course, you can sculpt them out of plasticine. However, it is much easier to use buttons. The top of the rocket is decorated with a small ball. Finally, add a spire (toothpick).

An alternative technique is designed to produce a green rocket:

1. a cylinder is molded from a bar;
2. narrow it at the edges and make a bulge in the middle;
3. install a red addition in the form of a cone at the top;
4. 4 nozzles are placed below (also red);
5. put 2-3 yellow windows.

It should be said right away that hardly anyone makes blue plasticine models of rockets. In any case, it is impossible to find such ready-made schemes and photographs. But you can take the scheme of other colors as a basis, simply adapting them for yourself. Such a rocket must be made of high quality plasticine, which retains its shape for a long time.

Basically, blue plasticine is used together with yellow, brown, red and black materials, but no one bothers to make the blue case. Of the tools for making a rocket with your own hands, you only need a stack and a toothpick. The sequence of steps is as follows:

• a thick blue "sausage" is formed;
• a rocket body is made of it (with a pointed end);
• the opposite edge of the body is narrowed;
• form the base of the body (usually black);
• connect these parts with a match or a toothpick.

All these manipulations are quite accessible even for children 5-6 years old. But there is still quite a lot to be done. A pair of yellow small balls, when flattened, will become portholes. They are stuck onto the rocket corps. Next, a ball is rolled a little larger than the previous two, and it will also need to be flattened.

This workpiece is cut into 2 parts. Then the halves are cut in half from the bottom. These will be the wings of the newly created rocket. The fire train is predictably made from red plasticine, and a small blue "sausage" will crown the top of the aircraft.

This process is so simple that it doesn't even make sense to describe it sequentially and with images.... The bump rocket should rather be called "a bump rocket with plasticine additions." The green pieces are used as nozzles and as support for the aircraft. Blue patches represent rocket stages. Some more plasticine forms the tip of the rocket. In what order to add all this, it does not matter.
