This or that insect can cause negative emotions in a person. These are bugs, spiders, caterpillars and others. But funny ladybugs are an exception. Cute creatures always attract attention, especially children's. Therefore, children are happy to mold ladybugs.
There are many options for designing crafts, but an important point is the presence of black and red plasticine. White and green are necessary to create the eyes and the leaf on which the insect will be located.
Modeling preparation
A ladybug is a favorite baby insect. From plasticine, children create various variations of this insect: magical, colored, ordinary.
Modeling is an entertaining activity for children of any age. Brighten your everyday life together with your child. And how to make a ladybug from plasticine, read below. It is necessary in advance to purchase good material without impurities and additives. It is advisable to buy plasticine from a reputable manufacturer.
To create a ladybug, you must have:
- plasticine of red, white, black and green colors;
- wire (thin);
- black beads;
- Toothpicks
- modeling board.
Sculpting process
So proceed directly to the modeling itself.
First you need to warm up the clay, rolling and kneading it in your hands. Roll up a ball from a red piece. We give the shape of the body to the ball by the method of flattening.
From black plasticine, you need to make a ball smaller than red. The resulting lump must be flattened to get a flat abdomen for a ladybug.
Then, from a small black piece of plasticine, we roll up a ball, which will be the head of the insect. We attach antennae to the head, which are also molded from plasticine. In addition to plasticine tendrils, you can use wire.
Eyes are made of white material and placed on the face.
We make the feet of a ladybug from black plasticine. To do this, roll small pieces into a sausage.
We take a toothpick and string the body of an insect on it, and then the head. We also do with each foot of a ladybug. String the legs on the broken toothpick and fasten to the body.
At the end, we create a similarity of wings on the back of the bug. That is, we draw the wings using the stack. In addition, we need black dots on the back if we sculpt a ladybug. We roll up small balls from the plasticine of the black mantle and place it on the bug.
Complete the craft with details such as a leaf or lawn made of a suitable color material. And your plasticine ladybug is ready!
Additional sculpting option
A ladybug made of plasticine is molded as follows: we roll up two balls of the same size, connect them together and round the contour. The result is one ball that will serve as the body of the insect.
Press the body to the board, and then attach the head. Next, we attach 6 legs to it, antennae to the head, and eyes to the muzzle.
Folded wings are also created using a stack or a regular pencil using the drawing method.
The result is a charming plasticine ladybug.
Show a little imagination, experiment with jewelry and the shape of the body. It will be interesting not only to the child, but also to you.
