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.

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.

Many children love fish and are happy to depict them in their drawings and crafts. It will certainly be interesting for such children to learn how to mold a fish from, using ordinary tools and their rich imagination for this.

An interesting plasticine fish can be made using the volumetric technique. As a basis for work, you will need to take a sheet of thick cardboard in a neutral shade and plasticine in two bright colors.

Let's get started!

From one lump we roll an even large ball.

Flatten it carefully. At first, this can be done with your hands, making sure that the cake is of uniform thickness.

And in order to make the surface of the cake as even as possible, at the final stage we use a small rolling pin.

Now we roll a sausage from the same.

We cut it into two identical parts, one of which is once again divided in half.

Give small pieces the shape of droplets.

We flatten a large piece, we give one of its ends the shape of a trident.

We sculpt a fin - a trident

We fasten the main part to the cardboard, and attach small pieces to it. The long piece should be located between the short ones.

We take a different color, flatten it unevenly.

We make the bottom edge concave.

We twist one corner of this arc with a flagellum.

The rest of the edge is cut with a stack along the entire length. We give the upper part a shape resembling a fish fin with a comb.

We also cut the fin.

We attach to the main part of the craft.

We fashion another fin, attach it to the bottom.

Our fish from is becoming more and more recognizable.

We draw patterns on her tail.

From red plasticine we make a mouth.

We attach a toy eye.

From colored plasticine we roll a lot of small balls.

We decorate with them, like iridescent scales, the body of a fish.

We lay out the balls in neat rows, alternating colors.

We got a charming picture of plasticine. simply attracts the eye with its sparkling scales and airy tail!

Time spent wisely with children is repaid by adults with love, good mood and health. Bringing this motto to life, you can safely use the master class on making a pretty picture. The fish is mastering. Not gold, but plasticine. But that doesn't make it any less valuable to you. On the contrary, not only the result of needlework, but the process itself will unexpectedly please even an adult. The work perfectly develops motor skills of children's hands, attention, accuracy and creative skills. Do not limit the child's imagination regarding the choice of color, shape of parts. Then his creation can easily surpass what is offered below.

Materials needed for crafts:
- plasticine;
- a sheet of thick cardboard;
- a hard work surface or a special board.

How to mold a fish from plasticine.

1. A long thin roller is rolled out on a plank with your hands. It will be used for the outline.

2. From the finished roller on cardboard, the outer contour of the work is laid out. Lightly pressed with fingers. If the child does this on his own, you can first draw a fish with a pencil. Then it remains only to glue the plasticine roller along the intended line.

3. A small piece of plasticine is well kneaded by hands in a color contrasting from the contour. The head of the fish is outlined: the plasticine is rubbed with fingers directly on the cardboard. The edging of the head is made with a previously prepared roller.

4. Scales are being prepared. To do this, you need several dozen balls of the same size in different colors.

5. Starting from the tail of the fish, scales are glued. This should be done in alternating rows. Applying a ball to the cardboard, it must be pressed. Thus, almost real flat scales are obtained.

6. Now you need to make an eye. You will need three balls of different sizes: a larger white one, a smaller blue one, and the smallest black one. Balls are glued in a slide, slightly pressed against each other with fingers.

7. The tail and fins are forming. Again, long thin rollers are needed. It is better if they are of various colors.

8. To form the tail, you need to glue the prepared rollers, placing them one after the other along the contour.

9. Fins are attached in appropriate places. You can add water bubbles.

Such a craft is the widest field for fantasy walks. You can add algae, stones and shells, treasures from sunken ships and sea monsters - whatever comes to mind. The picture will only benefit from this.

Today we are sculpting a plasticine fish. Our first fish is not river or pond, but decorative, aquarium. Let's take this plastic model as a sample, it is very realistic and not at all stylized.

The appearance of the fish is memorable for joy, so it will not be difficult to sculpt, but for the excitement we will make our fish “like this”, take a larger piece of plasticine and do not miss the opportunity to train your eye and sense of proportions. We have a wonderful opportunity to show our abilities in all their glory.

We will sculpt a fish from one large piece by pulling.

Let's look at a sample. What we see: the fish is quite thick and wide, we will stretch a little and flatten the plasticine in order to achieve a similarity in shape. The bar is slightly narrower towards the tail, less than that of an ordinary fish. The tail, by the way, is not forked. The bar is pointed towards the head, this head is large and short. Fish do not have necks. The widest part of the body is in the middle (in most river fish, the front part predominates). The arch of the abdomen and back is very even, in general the body is almost oval. Huge upper and lower fins. Let's give the fins a characteristic shape: they are pointed at the ends, and the fish has a literally arrow-shaped shape.


The eyes fall approximately on the middle line of the body, and a medium-sized mouth also passes there. The gill covers are small, next to them are small pectoral fins, pressed against the sides of the body.


We have submitted the form. It is probably not necessary to depict scales: this is too tedious a procedure. With the tip of the stack, we will show the direction of the awns on the fins, and we will consider our fish ready! So, we learned how to sculpt a decorative fish. But what to do with this wonderful product ... crush it into a shapeless piece of plasticine? - No! It will still be useful to us and will serve the benefit of the cause (development of hands and eye).

Now let's mentally move to the pond, and for this we will open Sabaneev's book "Freshwater Fish". Here it is, crucian carp, the most typical inhabitant of ponds in Russia!

How similar and at the same time how very different it is from an aquarium fish. While we are remaking a decorative fish into crucian carp, we will have time to feel the difference and commonality of their forms. After all, for this you need not so much, and the result will meet all expectations.

We flatten our aquarium fish from the sides: crucian carp is taller and flatter. The head of a crucian is much smaller. In this enlargement of the head in aquarium fish, we see the influence of long-term communication with a person. The head of the crucian is more blunt, the mouth is directed upwards.


The line of the back and the line of the abdomen are not exactly the same, the stomach is a little flattened, because the crucian sits on the bottom for hours, and the back arches in a hump. Rework the fins, do it carefully while looking at our sample, as this is probably the most difficult in the whole job. In freshwater fish of Russia, the fins primarily perform a purely utilitarian role and therefore do not differ in either huge size or defiant color - they are needed to swim! The tail is forked and large. The crucian is ready - let's release it into the pond.

Children from a very early age begin to sculpt different figures from plasticine. This 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.
