Methods for sculpting a tractor from plasticine

Children love to sculpt plasticine toys and cartoon characters. Favorite heroes for boys and girls are significantly different. Boys from early childhood show interest in technology. They love to play with a variety of cars, so they are happy to blind a car or a tractor.

Such an interesting activity will appeal to the kid, distract from pampering and help develop perseverance. How to mold a tractor step by step from plasticine and scrap materials will be discussed in this article.

Many boys are interested in technology, they can easily tell how this or that model looks like, what colors it has. A tractor for most of them is a rarity, because they can only occasionally see it when cleaning garbage from the streets or when repairing a heating main. For those who want to engage in a creative and exciting activity to recreate a tractor using plasticine, a picture depicting this technique will help.

To mold such a craft, you need some materials and tools.

• Plasticine. The color of the product can be very diverse. It is better for the child to choose the right tones by himself, depending on his preferences.
• Plasticine modeling board. Using it will help teach your baby to order in the workplace.
• Stack. With the help of the stack, the child will apply the relief to the finished product.
• Knife for mass. This tool is used to cut out parts.
• Toothpicks. The presence of toothpicks allows you to securely attach various parts of the tractor.

Before starting work, it is necessary to draw up a plan showing how to sculpt the tractor step by step and step by step. To create a plasticine toy with your own hands, the following steps are performed.

• You need to take two pieces of blue and orange plasticine. The blue mass is used to create the cockpit, the orange material is used to build the hood.
• The large blue part is placed vertically. With the help of toothpicks, an orange hood is attached horizontally to it. For greater similarity, the part of the cabin in the place where the windshield is located is cut obliquely.
• After that, you need to take a piece of white plasticine and roll the mass into a thin pancake. Using a knife, the front and rear glass is cut out of it. Then they begin to create the side windows of the desired size and configuration. The manufactured parts are attached to the designated place in the cab.
• For the wheels, it is better to choose black plasticine. The rear wheels are much larger than the front wheels. To make the wheels, you need to roll two small balls, then squeeze them from the sides. Fix them with toothpicks, fixing in the right place.
• Having blinded the base, they begin to work with additional details. Tractor headlights are made of orange plasticine in the form of two small cones. They are attached to the top of the front of the bonnet. In order for them to "shine", lenses are glued in the form of white pancakes. On the side of the hood, vertically upward, a black exhaust pipe is installed.
• The tread pattern on the wheels and the stripes of the radiator grille are applied to the product using a stack.

Making a Blue Tractor from plasticine, the hero of a favorite cartoon, can be a good task for kids. For children, this will not be difficult if you follow the same steps step by step as when sculpting the previous toy.

The main character of the cartoon is blue, so blue plasticine will become the main material for the craft. For greater similarity, you need a picture of the copy object.

Making a Blue Tractor consists of the following steps. The work begins, as in the previous case, with the creation of the cockpit and hood. They are sculpted from blue blocks, given that the hood of the cartoon character has a delicate, rounded shape.

Glasses made of white plasticine are glued to the cabin. The work is carried out in the same way as in the previous version. The hero's lanterns are also blue. It is important to give them a certain shape, in the form of a peephole. To do this, black pupils are molded onto white lenses, after which they seem to come to life.

To make tires, they use black plasticine, and the disks are molded from a gray mass. Better to make the wheels thick, this will give the Blue Tractor the look of a funny, awkward teenager.

A strip of brown is used to make the exhaust pipe to add some color to the character. Fasten it vertically upwards, on the side of the hood. After the Blue Tractor has found its shape, it is decorated.

Using a stack, they put the finishing touches on the tractor, mark out the contours of the doors, make a tread pattern on the tires. Particular attention is paid to the radiator grille, which consists of transverse recesses. The lowest groove is shaped like a smiling mouth.

Having finished this craft, you can continue the lesson with the child by making a small trailer for the tractor. Brown and black plasticine is used as the main materials.

They do it like this:

• take a piece of brown color and roll out a thin pancake from it;
• using a knife, cut out a rectangle that will be used for the bottom;
• low brown sides are installed along its contour;
• the finished cart is placed on black wheels.

If a sewer burst in a fabulous city, you will need a tractor with a bucket. This huge shovel is done in the following steps.

• Two thick sausages are rolled from the orange mass, giving them a square section using a stack.Excavator rods are obtained with a length exceeding the height of the tractor.
• A bucket is made from the same material, in shape resembling a small box.
• The manufactured parts are assembled together. To do this, the rods are placed vertically in the form of the letter "L" and fastened at the top. The lower part of one rod is attached to the rear of the cab of the tractor-excavator, and a bucket is attached to the bottom of the other.

To make the Blue Tractor feel more fun, you can place it in a fairytale city. You can diversify the craft by taking other materials, for example, cones. Using cones and plasticine, you can mold the inhabitants of this fabulous city, forest dwellers or just trees. For example, these materials are very easy to make a toy hedgehog.

Progress:

• you need to take a small bump and put it on its side;
• glue a sand-colored plasticine cone in the form of a hedgehog's head to its wide part;
• attach black eyes from small balls and the same nose to the head;

A cone hare is made as follows:

• make the legs of the animal from gray plasticine by rolling up two small balls;
• a small, unopened bump is placed vertically on these balls;
• two gray ears are attached on top;
• there are gray handles on the sides, and a small tail on the back.

It remains to make a muzzle for the hare. To do this, take small pieces of white and black and make the eyes of the animal out of them. Then a nose is formed from a pink piece, white cheeks and a red tongue are added.
