In the fall, when a strong wind blows and endless rains go, the child spends more and more time at home.
How to take the baby so that he does not sit in the evening in front of the TV and the computer? Great idea of modeling from dough!
Modeling is an amazing lesson awakening the imagination of the child, in addition, modeling accelerates the development of fine motor skills. And the development of the child’s speech is inextricably linked with the development of fine motor skills.
So, let’s start making crafts from dough
For those who want to save time and not knead the dough on their own, you can buy a ready -made set for modeling.
Thanks to this set, your child can independently blind from the dough various goodies. There is a special plasticine in the set (sculpting dough), it does not stick to his hands and is not toxic. Also in the set are various molds, “waffle”, a dish. There are tips on a box decorated in the style of your favorite cartoon “Smeshariki” how best to organize work.
If you decide to “conjure” over the test yourself, use the recipe for its preparation.
How to cook the sculpting dough?
You will need:
1 cup of flour
0.5 cups of salt
125 ml. water
In a deep bowl, mix flour with salt, gradually pour water, knead a steep dough.
It is better to take wheat flour, it has more gluten in it, and salt should take small grinding.
Well, your dough is ready! You can immediately prepare a large amount of dough, observing the above proportion. The dough in a plastic bag can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.
The dough can be tinted, for this, food dyes, watercolor or gouache are suitable for this. For a shade and giving aroma, you can add various spices: cocoa, cinnamon, curry, paprika.
We bring to your attention a master class on making a cockerel from dough
We take the dough prepared according to the recipe.
Separate a small piece from the dough and roll “Kolobok”.
Putting the formed ball on one palm, cover the other and, slightly pressing, form a cake.
We place it on a sheet of color cardboard.
We do the same actions with another piece of dough, it should be slightly smaller.
Next, we form a flagella out of the dough.
We separate small pieces from the flagella and form the tail feathers in random order.
We pull a small beak from the head of the cockerel, and form a comb from a small piece of dough.
Next, form a ball from a small piece of dough, knead it, give it a flat shape, and place a rooster on the body, it will be a wing.
At the request of the child, we place grass, grains, sun, everything that the child wants to be placed on cardboard.
We mark a place for the eye.
Any button, rhinestone, ball, bead can serve as an eye.
We draw the cockerels with a felt -tip pen or pen and proceed to coloring.
For coloring, you can use both watercolor and ordinary gouache. The dough quickly absorbs paint, the process brings a lot of pleasure.
The child wanted to draw rain, leaf fall, and this is what in the end we did!
The finished work was put to dry on the windowsill. When the crafts dry, it can move away from cardboard, in this case it must be glued with glue.
For the manufacture of crafts spent about 40 minutes, the age of the child is 4 years old!
Engage in creativity with your child, it brings together and brings tremendous pleasure!!!
And what do you do with your child?
