Plasticine - an excellent material for modeling various crafts. It consists of purified and crushed clay powder, wax, lard and other substances that prevent the clay from drying out and make it plastic and pliable. This material can have any color. From plasticine make figures sketches for sculptures, small models and works of small and small forms.
There are still disputes about who first created this amazing material. In Germany, the patent for the invention was issued to Franz Kolbu in 1880, and in the UK, 19 years later, it was given to William Harbut.
Whatever it was, plasticine - a unique and rich pantry for the game of imagination and children's imagination. Inanimate material in skilled hands easily turns into anything. This is often used animators, animating cartoons of their characters from plasticine. The indisputable merit of plasticine is an infinite number of variations. One and the same piece can be used as many times as you want. This material is useful not only for the development of fantasy, but also for fine motor skills. Game in an unobtrusive form is a work, participation in which takes both the brain and the hands of the baby. For preschoolers and children of primary school age, plasticine should become an integral part of a home set of office supplies.
We offer an uncomplicated master class on modeling a racing car made of plasticine, which will be of interest to both boys and girls. Molding machines from plasticine does not take much time, and the joy of an exciting lesson is guaranteed for both children and parents.
Before you dodge a plasticine machine, prepare everything you need.
We will need:
- plasticine white, blue and black;
- a special knife for cutting plasticine;
- round mold for modeling small details;
- and, of course, patience and free time.
- Work begins with the formation of the main body of our future racing car. First we roll a small sausage from blue plasticine. We narrow it from one end.
- Then we make the wing of the car (we also use blue plasticine). For this, we roll out the clay and cut out a rectangle with a knife. Make sure that the edges of all parts are even and neat.
- What is a plasticine machine without wheels? They are made of black plasticine, rolled out the plate and squeezed the circles with the help of molds. If you do not have them, take a small cap and squeeze out the parts with it. Note that the wheels must be thicker than the other small parts.
- The rest of the details for the model of the plasticine machine are done in the same way: roll out the plasticine and cut out strips, circles, glasses of the rider, etc.
- Let's proceed with assembling our racing car. On the body we paste a narrow strip of white plasticine. In the center of the car attach the head of the racing driver, and on it - a small white rectangle, which will serve as glasses.
- It's time to attach the wheels. We plant them on small balls of plasticine and lightly press down to not deform. On the back of both sides of the narrow white strip, we also attach two small balls that will serve as anchors for the wing.
- On the hood we attach a circle of white plasticine, and at the rear - a wing. Our racing car is ready!

Now you know how to mold a plasticine machine, and you can fantasize by changing colors and shapes. A little patience and skill and crafts made of plasticine (machines or any other) will be obtained each time more accurate and interesting. Having learned yourself, show how to make a plasticine machine to your child. You will be surprised by his imagination!
If the plasticine machines your child plans to "exploit", that is, play them, then before the game put modelki for several minutes in the refrigerator, so that they hardened.
