Properties of Clay

Plasticine is a material designed for modeling. It includes wax, clay, vaseline, animal fats, synthetic substances.

Now in stores there is a huge selection of plasticine, you can be confused by the desire to buy material for modeling.

Any plasticine has properties of softness, plasticity, the ability to glue parts, expressed in one way or another.

Consider some types of plasticine:

Classic, our production, available, holds its shape well, easy to mold. Individual parts connect well. But it is too stiff, before the work it is necessary to knead for a long time;
imported, suitable even for crumbs, bright, plastic, soft, lends itself to any hand. The composition includes natural components. Individual parts do not stick together well;
dough for modeling, too, natural components in the composition: flour, water, salt, dyes. Parts are easily glued together, can be stored for long periods of time and painted. When exposed to water, it becomes soaked;
floating, easy to mold, does not get dirty, stays on the water. Great for the smallest children. But it holds its shape poorly, disintegrates;
Mass for modeling is unique, well modeled, not sticky to the hands, a pleasant touch, crafts can play for a long time. Rather expensive to buy;
ball, excellent for decorating details, smoothing irregularities. Bright, juicy colors, attract attention. But, the details are poorly attached, easily disintegrated;
modeling paste is suitable for older children. Pleasant to the touch, it is easy to mold, it can be painted. It dries very quickly, you can not have time to finish the work, which would upset the master;
wax plasticine, holds its shape well, is bright, does not stain the surface, and glues well. Overly sticky material.

What is the difference between clay and plasticine?

Clay is a natural, natural material, hardens when dry, and if you burn it, it will be resistant to heat and moisture.

Clay is an artificial invention. Even the hard varieties do not harden completely, crafts made of it are not too strong, and from high temperature they will melt.

Clay is a softer material, so it is given for modeling to young children, when it hardens it can be diluted with water, and it becomes molten again. Plasticine depends on the temperature of human hands, it should be kneaded to model. However, clay is more sticky, it is easier to wash hands from the plasticine.

Clay can be painted with paints, and clay is multi-colored initially.

Creatures are obtained from these excellent materials, you choose.

The basis of crafts - a ball

One of the first techniques in modeling is rolling. Knead plasticine, roll in your hands in a circular motion, you get a smooth ball.

You can try to roll a ball on the board, with the palm of your hand roll plasticine in a circular motion, you get a ball, but less smooth than the first method.

If you need a very small ball for the details of the craft, you have to put a piece of plasticine in the palm of your hand, and the finger of your other hand roll the desired part.

From these bases you can make many crafts: a caterpillar, a doll, flowers, apples, nuts, beads.

Wonderful material for creativity, has bright, saturated colors, and is suitable for the youngest children who are just beginning to roll balls on the table. This plasticine does not stick to hands, carpets, floor. It consists of safe ingredients, with foam balls and glycerin as a base.

There is a fine-grained and coarse-grained ball clay. The fine-grained clay is suitable for decorations, applications, and adheres to any surface. It hardens in the air for three hours.

Small children sculpt with coarse-grained reusable clay, older children prefer coarse-grained curing clay, they want to keep their crafts.

Since details are glued badly, it is better to mold from a whole piece and highlight the parts, very cheerful will turn out round cartoon characters: owl, rabbit, hedgehog, pig, moose, ram. Fruit, vegetables, too, turn out well, bright colors will delight children.

Plasticine applications on cardboard, plywood will look cool.

Ideas for plasticine crafts

There are a lot of ideas for creating plasticine crafts, it all depends on a person's imagination. Not only can you sculpt anything, but also turn your creation into a souvenir, to make a gift to friends and family.

Plasticine paintings on cardboard

You can create a picture by smearing plasticine on the drawing, adding three-dimensional elements, such as fish in an aquarium.

Blue background, three-dimensional fish of different sizes and colors, pebbles at the bottom of the "aquarium", green algae.

The painting out of the flagellum will be interesting. It can be done by older children:

On the finished drawing of a cat, which is admiring a butterfly, apply heated mass from a syringe, heated with hot water for 30-40 seconds.
We squeeze out on the surface of the drawing, slowly, filling the drawing evenly.
The flagella are thin, uniform in thickness, look beautiful in the drawing.
We fill the cat with grey flagella, and the thorax with white.
A new syringe is used for the other color.
If the plasticine is torn, that's okay, continue making the applique from the torn place. It will not spoil the picture.

The smallest are good to make a picture from mosaic. Just apply small pieces of clay to the picture, do not go beyond the contour. Fun and entertaining. Drawings can be different, best of all horses, pussies, dogs.
