We sculpt a fish from plasticine step by step. Plasticine fish is an exciting activity for children. How to mold a plasticine fish

  • 13.11.2019

Modeling plasticine fish is an interesting and creative activity for children from 3 to 10 years old. The simple shape of the body of these marine inhabitants allows even kids to cope with such work. And for older children, it will be an interesting task to decorate their plasticine models. We offer several options for sculpting plasticine fish. The models are arranged in order of increasing complexity. For work, it is best to take bright colors, and for decorative details - contrasting, additional ones. For example, blue and yellow, orange and green. Plasticine fish can be stuck on a sheet of paper, designed like a seabed. If such a paper “sea” is large enough, then excellent teamwork can be done in kindergarten.

Modeling very simple plasticine fish

This is a very easy option! Children 3-4 years old will be able to mold such a fish from plasticine. It is interesting to perform it from "marble" plasticine. In order to make such plasticine, you need to take a few (two or three) multi-colored pieces of plasticine and mix them. Usually children like to make such a “color jumble”.
We roll up the sausage and fold it with a “loop”. In fact, the fish is ready. It remains only to decorate it.


The first option is to flatten the “trunk” with your thumb and forefinger. If desired, we will stick an eye and fins, print “scales” on plasticine, for example, a cocktail tube.


With another design option, a rather avant-garde plasticine fish is obtained. But the kids love it. We form the lower and upper fins by pinching. You can see this and other ways of working with plasticine in the article. We stick eyes and the fish is ready.


Ready-made plasticine fish can be placed in.

Modeling fish from plasticine based on a ball or ellipsoid.

These plasticine fish are a model for children 5-7 years old. We show modeling on two fish at once. The blue fish, made on the basis of a ball, is simpler, the red one, based on an ellipsoid, is a little more complicated.
We roll a ball or an ellipsoid testicle from plasticine. We flatten the figures.


We roll a sausage from yellow plasticine, flatten it slightly and stick it on the back of the fish. This is the top fin. You can cut the upper fin with a stack.


Let's make a fish tail. We roll a ball (blue fish) or a “carrot” cone (red fish) from yellow plasticine. Flatten and lubricate the tail of the fish. With a stack we apply a notch pattern or cut the tail.


We make two small balls, flatten and attach to the bottom of the fish. These are the little bottom fins.


We take a cocktail stick and apply a relief pattern on the body of the fish on both sides. We squeeze the eye with the blunt side of the pencil.


We cut it with a stack (blue fish) or stick a mouth from yellow plasticine (red fish). We make eyes. Our plasticine fish are ready.

Sculpting from plasticine fish scalar

This is a rather complex model of plasticine fish. First of all, because scalars have an unusual body shape, close to a triangle. This model is suitable for children from 6-7 years old.
We roll a large ball out of plasticine, flattening it. Using the stack, cut out a square from the resulting circle. Divide the square diagonally with a stack. We got two bases for plasticine angelfish.


In the same way, we cut triangles of a contrasting color of a smaller size from plasticine. These are fish tails.

From multi-colored plasticine, you can sculpt vegetables, fruits, animals, birds, fish, interior items, cartoon characters, etc.

The thing is that this material is very plastic. In his step by step master class with pictures I will explain and show you how to make an aquarium fish.

So, we need plasticine of the following color shades:

  1. blue;
  2. blue;
  3. pink;
  4. yellow;
  5. black.

Steps to create a plasticine fish:

1. From a plasticine piece of blue color, we make the body of a fish. It is somewhat reminiscent of a droplet.

2. We make a tail, lower and upper fins from blue. We attach new elements to the base.

3. We make a black eye in the form of a miniature ball and a sponge in the form of two fastened ovals.

4. From yellow plasticine we make a long and thin tourniquet. To do this, roll it between the work surface and the palm. Next, we divide the resulting sausage into several parts and decorate the body of the fish with them.

That's all! A funny marine figurine is ready! I wish you great success in your work!

it an exciting activity allows them to develop finger motor skills, learn new properties of objects: color, stickiness, shape, and so on. Children like to create various animals, birds, as well as creatures that they invent themselves from this viscous material.

Types of plasticine

Available in stores different types plasticine:

  • Classical. Can be soft and hard. When working on paper, greasy marks may remain.
  • Ball. It can be drying, that is, after some time it hardens in the air, and not drying (reusable).
  • Safe. Made from vegetable matter. If a small child puts plasticine in his mouth, it will be harmless to him. The only thing is that it doesn't taste good. Therefore, the child is unlikely to want to put it in his mouth again.
  • Wax. Very soft, not sticky. The enemy of such plasticine is high temperature. In this case, it melts and becomes unusable.
  • Floating. Very light, so it floats easily on the surface of the water. The child will be pleased to play with him while swimming.
  • Fluorescent. this type will not leave indifferent any child.
  • Pearl. Chic mother-of-pearl shine is suitable for sculpting fabulous products.

How to mold a plasticine fish

Of all the listed types of plasticine, you can mold original things, little animals. Let's take an example of how a molded plasticine fish will turn out.

Depending on the further function of the future fish, a suitable plasticine is selected. The choice of color is not a very important procedure, since any fish can be. It is advisable to wear an apron so as not to get dirty. Be sure to check the availability of the necessary tools: caps different sizes, a steak for cutting plasticine, a special knife. You can use a comb to make the fins and tail of the fish.

Plasticine is taken. A circle rolls out of it, about the size of a fish's head. The resulting ball is slightly flattened. Next, another plasticine is taken, rolled out, flattened and cut into three parts with a knife, from which the fins and tail are made. With the help of a comb, they are decorated with imprints from the teeth. Next, the resulting parts are attached to the head of the fish. Then small balls are rolled out, which are attached like lips. Caps make small imprints of the gills. The final touch is to draw scales on the body of the resulting product using the pen body. Beads are attached instead of eyes. Plasticine fish is ready.

Then it can be glued to the frame, decorated with various algae, also made of plasticine. The resulting picture can be hung on the wall or given to friends. In any case, it will give an unusual look to the room.

DIY goldfish

An unusually beautiful hand-made goldfish made of plasticine is obtained. It is made according to the same scheme that was presented above, or you can come up with your own.

To make it “golden”, you can use yellow plasticine to make a crown on your head. Then no one will doubt that this is really a goldfish from the fairy tale of the same name by A.S. Pushkin. And you can paint the resulting figure with the appropriate paint. Then you will definitely get a goldfish from plasticine.

Material for GCD: plasticine, stacks, modeling board, napkins, marker caps, eye beads, fish toys, technological maps. Musical accompaniment: plastic sketch, the sound of the sea.

Targets and goals: To form the ability to convey the distinctive features of the fish (body, eyes, mouth, fins, tail, scales).

To consolidate knowledge of the techniques for making oval-shaped objects (rolling with direct movements of the palms, modeling with fingers). To fix the techniques of pulling, flattening when transferring the characteristic features of the fish.

Cultivate creativity, fantasy; the ability to finish what you start.

Preliminary work: Examining illustrations with aquarium fish, examining fish in an aquarium.

Lesson progress

1 . Introductory part. The teacher gathers the children near him on the rug, makes a riddle:

“There is a transparent miracle house,

Day and night there are fish in it.”

Children: Aquarium.

Educator: That's right, this is an aquarium. What are the names of the fish that live there?

Children: aquarium.

Surprise moment: The guys in our group have an unusual aquarium. (The teacher shows an aquarium made in advance). Who lives in it? (Fish).

Guys, it’s very boring for a fish to swim alone in an aquarium, we blind a lot of different fish to make it more fun?

Part 2 Main. Sit on the mat. Let's look at what the fish has. (The teacher shows a rubber fish).

What is the shape of the body of the fish? (Children name the shape of the fish).

What shape are the fins? (Triangular, round shape).

What tail? (with corners)

How many eyes? (Two).

Does a fish have a mouth? (Yes).

What is the body of the fish covered with? (Scales).

Let's imagine that we are algae at the bottom of the sea. Let's swing to the music.

Plastic study, imitating the vibrations of algae in the depths of the sea to the music.

Children sit at tables. The teacher draws attention to the pattern of sculpting fish. Tells and shows in what sequence to sculpt: how to make a body, head, tail, fins, eyes, fish scales.

Educator: It is necessary to divide the block of plasticine into 2 unequal parts. The largest part is the body, the smaller one is the tail. We start with the body of the fish. We roll the ball. How to do it? (Circular movements of the palms) Show how you will work. (Children show without plasticine). Well done! Then we slightly stretch the ball, with direct movements of the palms, to make a roller. Show me how? (Children show without plasticine). Well done! The body is ready. We take a small piece of plasticine and sculpt the tail. We roll the ball, flatten it slightly, make an incision with a stack. We connect the tail with the body, grease it with our fingers, smooth it so that the fish turns out to be even, smooth. To make a mouth, you need to push a hole through the stack. Slightly flatten the finished fish between the palms. We make out the eyes of the fish. And we will make the scales with the help of caps from felt-tip pens, slightly pressing on the body of the fish.

To prepare our hands for sculpting, we will play a finger game:

"Fish swim, dive,

In clean fresh water.

Then bend, unbend,

They will bury themselves in the sand."
Once! Two! Three! Four! Five!

The fish swim on the bottom

You won't catch one!

Adeline, tell me how to get started. (1-2 children tell the sequence of work). Well done. Now, sit down properly, let's get to work.

Independent work children.

During operation, calm music sounds with the sound of the sea. The teacher, if necessary, provides individual assistance to children, gives advice. Draws attention to posture.

3. Final part.

Educator: It's time to move in residents. Where will our fish live? (In aquarium). Let's put them in the aquarium.(Those who of the children blinded the fastest can be offered to make pebbles for the aquarium). Children put the fish in the aquarium .

Summary of the lesson: Guys, what beautiful fish you have turned out. Who has the biggest? (the smallest, funny, funny, beautiful ...)

Children, what did we sculpt today? (fish). Well done, now our fish will not be bored, she has a lot of funny friends.
And your parents will look at your work in the evening and be happy for you.
