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 photos I will explain and show how to make an aquarium fish.
1. From a piece of plasticine blue color make the body of the fish. It somewhat vaguely resembles a droplet.
2. Making from of blue color tail, lower and upper fins. Attach new elements to the base.
3. We make a black eye in the shape of a miniature ball and a sponge in the form of two fastened ovals.
4. We make a long and thin rope from yellow plasticine. To do this, you need to roll it between the working surface and your palm. Next, we divide the resulting sausage into several parts and decorate the body of the fish with them.
That's all! The funny sea figurine is ready! I wish you great success in your creativity!
Time spent wisely on children is compensated by adults with love, good mood and health. Bringing this motto to life, you can safely take advantage of a master class on making a nice painting. The fish is mastering. Not gold, but plasticine. But that doesn’t make it seem less valuable to you. On the contrary, not only the result of needlework, but also the process itself will unexpectedly please even an adult. The work perfectly develops children's motor skills, attention, accuracy and creative skills. You should not limit your child’s imagination regarding the choice of color and shape of parts. Then his creation can easily surpass what is offered below.
Materials needed for the craft:
- plasticine;
- a sheet of thick cardboard;
- a hard work surface or a special board.
How to make a fish from plasticine.
1. Roll out a long thin roller using your hands on a board. It will be used for the outline.
2. The outer contour of the work is laid out from the finished roller on cardboard. Lightly pressed with fingers. If the child does this on his own, you can first draw the fish with a pencil. Then all that remains is to glue the plasticine roller along the intended line.
3. Using your hands, knead a small piece of plasticine in a color contrasting with the outline. The head of the fish is outlined: the plasticine is rubbed directly onto the cardboard with your fingers. The head is edged using a previously prepared roller.
4. The 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. When placing the ball on the cardboard, you need to press it. Thus, almost real flat scales are obtained.
6. Now you need to make the eye. You will need three balls of different sizes: a larger white one, a smaller blue one, and the smallest black one. Glue the balls together in a pile and lightly press them together with your fingers.
7. The tail and fins are formed. Again, long thin rollers are needed. It's better if they come in a variety of 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 imagination. 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.
You can create crafts from plasticine of varying complexity. If you are looking for a simple modeling plot for your baby, then try making a plasticine fish. This craft does not require any special skills, so every child over 4 years old can handle it. But still, in some stages of the work you will need the help of a parent. The fish can be made in any shade. You can also experiment and mix several colored blocks at once to create a new, interesting color.
But first, you should prepare everything you need for work:
Step 1. To sculpt the fish, we decided to use only one shade of the mass - orange. And if you want to make a goldfish, we recommend adding a little gold to the orange plasticine acrylic paint. Then, thanks to the shimmering particles, the mass will acquire a beautiful golden mother-of-pearl. Roll one block into a thick sausage. Cut off 1/3 of it. 
Further small piece divide in half. From these blanks we will fashion the fins and tail of the fish. Let's create a base from a large piece. Roll it into a uniform ball. 
Step 2. So, let's sculpt the tail. Roll any of the two small pieces of the orange mass into a droplet and flatten it with the side of a plastic knife. 
Next, use scissors to cut out a beautiful curved end of the tail. Use a stack or knife to draw a simple texture. 
Step 3. From the second piece we create fins - one large and two small. We create on their surface the same texture as on the tail. 
Step 4. Now we move on to drawing the scales on the base. To do this, we need to disassemble the handle, remove the metal tip and pull out the paste. Next, use the tip of a plastic tube to create a semicircular imprint on the ball. 
Step 5. When the base of the fish has acquired texture, you can attach all the fins and tail. 
Step 6. Then we create the eyes. Roll small balls of white, blue and black. 
Flatten them and glue them to the face. To make the eyes more expressive, glue a couple of highlights to each one. 
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of modeling in development fine motor skills children. This best tool for the development of fingers, which in turn contributes to the development of the child’s speech. As for modeling classes in the middle group, compared to earlier ages they are already beginning to be more educational in nature, closely related to the study of the surrounding world and other types of artistic activity(drawing, application). In addition, children develop an aesthetic perception of the image, a sense of proportion and symmetry.
Children 4–5 years old find it easier to work with plasticine; their stronger muscles make it easy to tear off and knead the material. Although there remain difficulties with sculpting small parts and connecting parts of an object to each other (without flattening), the crafts are already quite similar to real objects and have certain proportions. With each lesson, preschoolers' skills improve.
Creating a fish refers to object modeling. Preschoolers generally love to sculpt animals and people - objects that they can later play with (and not just admire). Although, it should be noted, the depiction of plant-shaped objects is easier for them.
Since the pupils middle group There is still no clear idea of the structure of the body of a living creature, then the teacher’s task is to teach children to display key features object and its clear signs, for example, a fish has an elongated body, a pointed head, a curly tail and fins.
In addition to traditional modeling with its three-dimensional forms, in the middle group you can already introduce children to bas-relief - modeling on a plane. This is especially true if the teacher organizes collective work “Aquarium” (the role of an aquarium can be played by a lid from cardboard box). In this case, the relief figures of fish will be attached to the surface, protruding half or more (remember that the bas-relief has varieties - the actual bas-relief and the high relief).
In addition, children 4–5 years old can already be introduced to counter-relief modeling, when a drawing is cut into plasticine, occasionally including its elements in a traditional lesson.
When sculpting such an object of living nature as a fish, middle group preschoolers can use different ways sculpting. Of course, the easiest way for kids is to use the constructive method, when an object is formed from individual parts(head, body, tail, fins, eyes, mouth). The child mentally thinks through the image, determines what parts it consists of, and gets to work. As a rule, the process begins with the creation of the largest part (torso). It should be noted that with the constructive method of modeling, pupils in the middle group do not convey proportions very well and difficulties arise in connecting elements to each other. By the end of the year, these skills are improved: the number of details increases, their elaboration and connection becomes more thorough.
More difficult for children age group sculptural method (it is also called plastic). This is a sculpt of an object from whole piece plasticine. This requires more precise movements, a good eye and a clear idea of the desired shape. If the children have to sculpt a fish in this way, then it would be good to draw it first - this will allow them to clarify the shape, proportions, and features of the transition from one part of the body to another.
A piece of plasticine is initially given a certain shape. If it is a fish, then you need to make an oval. Having outlined the key shape of the animal, it is necessary to form its parts using the technique of pulling and flattening (head, tail, fins). Once the basic shapes have been sculpted, you can move on to working out finer details.
It is good to show preschoolers two fish, sculpted in a constructive and plastic way, and show their differences. The teacher must demonstrate modeling techniques in front of the children, constantly commenting on their actions.
It should be noted that in classes in the middle group one of the indicated methods of sculpting is rarely used. pure form. Much more often, one method is complemented by another - the so-called combined method. As a rule, the largest parts are created using the sculptural method, while the smaller ones are sculpted separately and attached to the main form. At normal development children to preparatory group they themselves come to this method as the most accessible and universal.
As you know, there are many sculpting techniques. However, in the middle group, when creating the image of a fish, the following will be relevant:
Rolling up- a technique through which spherical objects are created different shapes. At the same time, the child’s hands make a circular sequential movement clockwise, and left hand- at a slightly slower pace.
Then the shape of the ball is transformed into an oval: for this you need to slightly pull out on both sides.
Since the body of the fish is slightly flattened, the oval is slightly flattens. This technique is carried out by slightly squeezing the oval with your hands on both sides. The effort should be minimal, otherwise we will end up with a flat cake.
To shape the fish’s mouth, we use the technique pinching– a small part of the plasticine is squeezed with three fingers.
By using pulling back and flattening The fish gets a beautiful tail. To make it look especially impressive, you need to cut it in half a little in a stack. We use the same technique to form the fins.
If children sculpt a fish in a constructive way, then when attaching the parts to each other they use the technique smearing, in which two pieces of plasticine move towards each other with pressing and alignment of the fastening points.
Pupils of the middle group can already show a certain independence in modeling classes. So, according to the lesson plan, they choose the color of the plasticine. If you are supposed to sculpt a “golden” fish, then it will, of course, yellow, which can be decorated with elements of a different shade. If the children are collectively decorating an aquarium, the teacher advises the children to make multi-colored fish - and then they choose a variety of colors.
With preliminary training and guidance from a teacher, preschoolers 4–5 years old actively use the stack during productive activities during the modeling process. Applied to the Fish theme, this tool can be used to beautifully draw scales or design the tail and fins. Using a stack you can “draw” the mouth and eyes of a fish.
Traditionally, fish sculpting in the middle group is carried out in the first half of the year (November), then the children draw an aquarium composition. In general, the task of this lesson (“Different fish”) is to teach preschoolers to sculpt fish of the same shape, but differing in proportions. During such activities, children reinforce the modeling techniques they have previously learned.
However, different interpretations of this lesson are possible. You can designate its theme as “Goldfish”, having previously told the children, for example, the famous fairy tale by A.S. Pushkin. This craft will be slightly different from traditional fish: firstly, in its unusual color scheme, and secondly, with fabulous magical details (a crown on the head, a magic wand, etc.).
Average guys school age are already able to understand the relationship between objects and subjects, it is quite possible to introduce plot modeling. For example, propose a collective composition “Aquarium”. Such an activity will, of course, require preliminary preparation. The teacher prepares the base in advance - it can be a real empty aquarium or some other glass or plastic container required sizes. You can offer 2–3 small aquarium, dividing the children into subgroups.
A possible variant of a modeling lesson is “Fish House”, in which each child makes his own aquarium. In such a lesson, in addition to plasticine, children can be offered cardboard (cut by the teacher into squares or rectangles the right size- the walls of the aquarium), which the children will fasten with plasticine. One side of such a house should be made transparent by offering preschoolers pieces of plastic. Subsequently, the children “populate” such an aquarium with plasticine fish.
Modeling a fish opens up great opportunities for using additional, natural or waste material. To effectively designate scales, you can use cereals (rice, buckwheat, pearl barley) or seeds. If the guys create a fabulous fish, foil or finely chopped bright candy wrappers will be useful to decorate its body.
In addition, modeling in class can be successfully combined with appliqué: a plasticine fish can have a tail or fins made of colored cardboard.
In the middle group, many children show increased interest in modeling. Of course, such students need to be encouraged by offering them complex individual tasks. For example, if a child quickly and efficiently completes a task, the teacher can offer him to sculpt another fish, but only of a different shape, color and size. Another option is to decorate your fish, for example, using a felt-tip pen cap to make beautiful drawing scales or make it brighter using waste material.
Like any productive activity, modeling should begin with a motivating moment. Most often, some fairy-tale character or just a toy fish comes to visit the children, talks to them and asks them to solve its problem. For example, it’s boring for a goldfish to swim in the sea, because it’s the only one so unusual, but it so wants to have friends and girlfriends. Some other sea creature may also appear in front of the guys - it could even be the Little Mermaid doll, popular among girls, who has no one to play with. There are many options here, it all depends on the teacher’s imagination.

To lead preschoolers to create bright image, before class you can organize an exhibition of toy fish. Ideal if in a group or in a living corner in kindergarten There is a real aquarium with fish.
The best option is your own aquarium in a group room
An alternative to a real aquarium - a model created by a teacher
The group's developmental environment should include an album with illustrations of river and sea fish, which children can take out to look at at any time.
Modeling fish should be preceded by reading fairy tales, stories and poems on this topic. These may be fragments of the work of A.S. Pushkin "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish". The following poems can be recommended:
E. Chepovetsky
In a quiet river
In a quiet river at the pier
The fish met the fish:
- Hello!
- Hello!
- How are you?
- I was fishing
I was fishing for a fisherman
Uncle Petya is an eccentric.
- Where is your fisherman?
Gotcha?
- No, he left, you sly man!
Lost it!Yu. Mogutin
Ruffs
Above the river
In silence
The reeds rustle.
And in the water
By the reeds
Six cocky ruffs.
Don't be irritated, you irritants,
Better hide in the reeds.
You ruff kids
The pike is waiting by the reeds.V. Orlov
Goldfish
Fish in a jar
They pour in semolina.
The fish are burning with gold.
I got some semolina early in the morning
They cook porridge and say,
As for me from that porridge
I'll be golden too.E. Stewart
Pond
At sunset the pond sleeps.
Circles float on the water -
These are small fish
They played out here and there.
I like to splash water on them,
To flash your scales for a moment, -
Fishes jump out into the air
It's like we're diving.L. Rashkovsky
Fish
Fish move with their fins,
They muddy clean water.
Have lunch -
Thank you
They never say.
They live like this for centuries.
And wherever you look, -
Fish with fins only
They move gratefully.
Why such fish?
Yes, they have water in their mouths!
And they say thank you
They will never be able to.http://deti.ledibashkirii.ru/stixi-pro-rybok
On the eve of modeling, you can show the children cartoons on a marine theme. This is “In a Blue Sea, in White Foam” (1984) or “Wow, talking fish"(1983). They will certainly interest the kids, and they will want to create with their own hands. sea creatures.
Outdoor games also need to be brought to marine theme- this is “The Fisherman and the Fishes”, “The sea is agitated once...”.

| Temereva L.M. | "Gold fish" Educational objectives: learn to sculpt a fish from plasticine, pass it on characteristics, improve the techniques of pulling, flattening, mark fish scales using a stack and a felt-tip pen cap, learn to maintain proportions between parts. Developmental tasks: clarify ideas about appearance, lifestyle, habits of fish, develop imagination. Educational tasks: cultivate perseverance, patience, desire to discuss the results of your work. Integration educational areas : “Artistic creativity”, “Cognition”, “Communication”, “Socialization”, “Health”. Demo material: pictures of fish, seascapes, audio recordings of the sound of the sea. Handout: plasticine, stacks, modeling boards. Progress of the lesson: Relaxation moment: at the beginning of the lesson, pleasant, calm music is played. Children stand holding hands in a circle. The teacher wishes everyone good morning and offers to transfer a piece of their warmth to each other. The teacher invites preschoolers to go to the land of Fantasy, where they can learn a lot of new and unusual things. The sound of the sea surf sounds - the children “find themselves” on the seashore. The teacher reports that in the land of Fantasy there lives a kind sand prince who protects her from evil. He knows many fairy tales and games, but will only play with those who follow his rules. A surprise moment - the Sand Prince doll appears, who tells the children that in his country it is forbidden to fight, bite, or offend others. A character asks a riddle about a fish. I have wings, but I don't fly. I have eyes, but I don’t look at the sky. I have a mouth, but I don't speak. I shine in a clean river, The back is silver. Who am I? (Children's answers) The teacher shows the children a toy fish (a fish is also offered to each child). They examine it, clarify its properties: color, size, body shape. The children and the teacher find out that it is a goldfish. In addition, they name other fish known to them (pike, perch, crucian carp, catfish, etc.). There is a conversation about why fish need a tail, fins, whether they have eyes, what the body is covered with, whether the fish can speak. Physical education lesson “The sea is agitated.” The Sand Prince informs the children that there are fish that are edible for humans, and there are dangerous ones that can inject or give an electric shock. Independent work of children to calm music. The teacher guides the preschoolers and gives advice. |

"Different fish" The lesson begins with a riddle about fish. The teacher tells the children about fish and specifically dwells on those that live in the aquarium (goldfish, angelfish, parrot fish, etc.). An aquarium is a whole world, there are pebbles, shells, underwater plants. Next is a physical education session “There are clouds in the blue sky...”. Preschoolers sit at tables, each has a picture of a fish, they look at them and discuss with the teacher the color, structure, purpose of body parts. |

"Fish and algae in the underwater world" (collective composition) One of the objectives of the lesson is to decorate fish figurines with moldings and cut-out designs (counter-relief). A special feature of the lesson is that the teacher prepares in advance the basis for the composition - an aquarium (as an alternative - 3-4 transparent jars or glasses). In addition, to create crafts you will need cocktail straws, toothpicks, caps from pens or felt-tip pens. At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher conducts didactic game“What has changed”: he places several fish from geometric shapes, then asks the guys to close their eyes and changes some details. Preschoolers must guess what has changed. Another game “Make a fish”: an oval (the body of a fish) is placed on the board; tails and fins of different shapes can be attached to it. Then the teacher switches the children from a conventional schematic image to an artistic one and demonstrates 2-3 fish that he sculpted in advance. The teacher explains sculpting techniques and invites the children to sculpt beautiful fish to fill the aquarium with them together. Preschoolers sculpt fish in any way (constructive, plastic or a combination), and then decorate them to their liking: with spots of flattened plasticine balls of a different color, plasticine flagella, sparkles, seeds, cereals. The teacher also shows how to decorate the craft with a stack or a felt-tip pen cap. For the children who quickly completed the task, the teacher advises them to make algae and pebbles for the aquarium so that the fish can live comfortably. At the end of the lesson, the fish are placed in a common aquarium. Some of them are attached to the walls (slightly pressed), others are strung on cocktail tubes or toothpicks attached to the bottom). |
Most of the fish (photos 1–6, 8) are made using a combined method: the head and body are sculpted from one large piece of plasticine, while the remaining elements (tail, fins, eyes) are attached separately.
The fish in photo 4 “Goldfish” looks very impressive - a beautiful long red tail, detailed scales and bulging beady eyes.
Photo 5 “Aquarium with fish” shows modeling using the bas-relief method - the fish are attached to the surface, protruding approximately halfway. Original composition supplemented with pebbles, shells and algae.
The “Magic Fish” craft is of interest (photo 7): the body is made of a twisted flagellum. The gradient color (transition from pink to lilac) will look interesting.
Photos 9 and 10 show volumetric aquariums. Sea creatures are attached to the walls of the cans or fixed in the center on special fasteners.

Most preschoolers love to sculpt, because this is an opportunity to create for themselves new toy. Object modeling, which includes the creation of a fish, will certainly captivate children of the middle group, especially if the teacher introduces them to various options creating an image of sea creatures. And the use additional materials will make the lesson bright and memorable.
