Our teachers preschool teach children to fantasize, immerse themselves in a fairy tale, thanks to fashioned dough figures.

Salt dough modeling is effective tool development of imagination, perception, thinking, memory, speech and feelings of preschoolers. In the process of testoplasty in children, sensory sensitivity increases, general manual skill develops, fine motor skills, work of both hands is synchronized.

Working as an educator, I ran into a problem - not only children, but also educators cannot sculpt birds. And I came up with the idea to hold a master class on making birds from salt dough.

Municipal budgetary preschool educational institution combined type kindergarten No. 35 municipality Ust-Labinsky district Work experience of the senior educator Tatyana Vyacheslavovna Kuleshova Master class "Swan and stork from salt dough" 2013

Testoplasty is an interesting, fun and useful activity. You do not need to have any special skills and abilities to work with the test. You need to have the desire to turn the dough into a fabulous miracle!

SALT DOUGH RECIPE: 1 cup wheat flour; 2 cups of salt; glass of water; 2 tablespoons of dry wallpaper glue (before adding to the dough, it is diluted with warm water to the consistency of sour cream).

Let's make a swan and a stork from the dough. Having learned this technology, you can easily fashion other birds.

Roll up the ball

We roll out a cake from it, make an incision on top to the middle, grease it with vegetable oil on top.

We fold a three-layer envelope. First we impose the right side of the envelope.

Then we put the left side of the envelope on it.

With the left hand we pull the dough, and with the right hand we gently roll out the neck: between the head and the body. We form a beak.

We put the neck on a plate with a bend, make cuts on the wings, insert the eyes from the match head and put in the microwave for 5 minutes.

The stork is performed in the same way, with the addition of limbs. To do this, we pinch off 2 identical pieces of dough, roll it out with a “bottle”, flatten it, cut out the fingers.

Also put on a plate, bake in the microwave, paint and glue on the picture.

Bird crafts have always been very popular among lovers of home art. Particularly relevant are the figurines of feathered creatures on Bird Day, which is celebrated in spring on April 1 in kindergartens and schools. The holiday is dedicated to the return of migratory birds and marks the onset of spring and the renewal of awakened nature. On this day, children of all ages make bird crafts, and older schoolchildren make birdhouses and hang them on trees.

Bird crafts can be made from a wide variety of materials: cotton pads, colored paper, plastic bottles, salt dough, natural and any improvised materials. There are many options for creating birds - from simple ones for young children to complex ones that schoolchildren can easily master with the help of adults.

We bring to your attention several lessons on creating birds with your own hands with step-by-step instructions, diagrams and tips. We hope that they will help you learn all the subtleties of this fascinating process and be filled with new bright ideas.

We will need: plastic bottles of various colors, foam plastic, a wooden block as a stand, a metal twig, foil and thin colored plastic, a glue gun.

Step one, Cut out the body of the peacock along with the head from the foam, not forgetting to make small indentations in place of the eyes. We fasten it to a wooden block with a metal rod, which plays the role of legs.

Step two. We make a sufficient number of peacock feathers from plastic bottles of different colors. We will need three types of feathers: long for the tail, short for the neck and a little longer for the body. To do this, cut off the bottom and neck of the bottle and cut it lengthwise into 3 parts.

We round one end of each strip with scissors and cut its edges into thin strips so that it looks like a bird's feather. We decorate the rounded end of the feathers intended for the tail with two or three multi-colored ovals made of foil and plastic. You can attach them with a stapler.

Step three. Cut out a beak from a red plastic bottle and fasten it in place. Next, we gradually glue the feathers on the body of the bird with a glue gun, starting from the tail and ending with the neck. We attach the feathers a little overlap, as shown in the photo. Do not forget that medium-length feathers are for the body, and meek ones are for the neck.

Step four. We cut out a crest of any shape from colored plastic, which our imagination tells us, and glue it on the head. Using acrylic paints, draw the eyes of a peacock. You can glue cilia cut from a transparent plastic bottle to them.

Step five. We proceed to the manufacture of the tail, using an abrasive mesh for this. We make holes at the base of the feathers and attach them to the grid with a thin wire.

We start making the tail from the end, gradually laying feathers on top of each other in rows until the luxurious long tail of the bird is fully formed. After that, we attach it to the body and settle the peacock, made with our own hands from plastic bottles, on a plot among flowers and greenery.

Do-it-yourself bird of paradise made of polymer clay - master class

These delightful birds of paradise are made of polymer clay that hardens in air. This modern material we are also familiar with the names "self-hardening plasticine", "mass for modeling" and "velvet plastic". For the manufacture of charming feathered creatures, we need aluminum wire with a diameter of 1 mm, polymer clay, foil, scissors, round nose pliers, a stack, a glass for rolling clay, a little patience and diligence.

Operating procedure:

1. We create three birds at once at once - while we are sculpting one, the rest dry up. We cut the wire twice as long as the planned tail. We wrap half of the wire with foil, crushing it and forming the body of a bird.
2. We make paws from wire, as shown in the photo, and insert them into the body. We take a piece of clay, form it in the shape of a sausage, then roll it out and flatten it. We carefully pull out the wire from the bird, place it inside the clay sausage, rolling it up with a glass. We insert the finished colored ponytail back into the body. In the same way, we make blanks for the remaining two birds.
3. We take a piece of blue, yellow and red clay, roll them out and gradually, spreading them with our fingers, stick them around the birds until all the foil is covered. We will get three blanks of bright birds.
4. Starting from the center, stick around the paws. Then we take a piece of clay of the corresponding color and make cheeks, crown and beak. From balls of black clay we sculpt eyes, not forgetting to squeeze out the upper and lower eyelids around them with a stack.
5. We create a tail and crest. To do this, cut off several wires of the length we need and roll them into clay. When it dries, round off the ends with round nose pliers and insert the details of the tail into the body of the bird. We make shorter feathers from thin clay sausages by twisting their tips.
6. We make the effect of plumage by applying pieces of clay rolled out in the form of droplets on the body and working with a needle in the direction of feather growth. With the help of a needle, we make feathering all over the body of the bird. For shine, the eye can be varnished. A wonderful do-it-yourself bird of paradise is ready!

Salt dough bird of happiness

Sculpting a bird of happiness

First, we make a stencil out of paper. It is difficult to name this figure somehow, but it looks more like a circle, pointed at the top or a stretched egg. We apply the stencil on the dough, rolled out into a layer 3-4 cm thick and cut out along the contour.

Now we form balls from two small pieces of dough, flatten them a little and stick them to the bottom of the widest part of the figure. Moisten the place of gluing with water and smooth it with your fingers. Now, with a knife or a toothpick, we shallowly draw the lower edge of the figure, which is smeared. The basis of the owlet with paws is already there.

Now we make wings for the bird. From two identical pieces we form sausages, necessary in length. On one side, the sausage should be slightly larger than on the other.

At the top, we stick sausages to the side of the owl and lay them on the body. Gently flatten the wings with your fingers.

Take 6 equal pea-sized pieces of dough. Make balls out of the pieces, then stretch them and sharpen them to make oblong droplets. Spread droplets at the very top of the head, forming a forelock. For relief and convenience, press the droplets with a toothpick.

Now, along the entire edge of the figure with a knife, we make notches of different lengths and at different distances. We make the same relief on the lower part of the wings.

It remains to blind only the muzzle of an owl. Take 2 identical pieces of dough and form ovals, then flatten them and stick just below the forelock. Immediately make 2 wrinkles of different lengths, following the contours of the lower part of the eyes.

To make the pupils in the eyes, you need to form balls, and then flatten them and stick them in the right place. The nose is formed from a voluminous pointed droplet, and after you have stuck it in it with a toothpick, 2 holes are made.

In the finished bird we make 2 neat holes for the rope. Dry the dough in the oven at the lowest temperature. To see if the figurine is dry inside, tap on it with your finger. A completely dry dough will make a slight ringing sound, while an underdone dough will make a dull sound.

Painting of the bird of happiness

To achieve an interesting effect, we will do the painting in several stages and in a special way. All sides, folds and dents of the figurine must be carefully painted over with black gouache. Don't miss a single line!

Now we take a foam rubber sponge, apply brown paint on it with a brush and paint over the upper part of the bird with applying movements. In this way, it will turn out to paint over only even and protruding parts of the test, without touching the dents. To get the desired effect, the sponge should not be wet, and the black paint should not be completely dry.

We made plumage and now we have to fashion her body. Cut off a piece of dough, roll into a ball, and then shape into a body. If the bird is large, then it is better to put foil in the middle of the body so that it does not lose its shape during drying.

And now we will impose a body between the wings and the tail. Let's make a head. From a toothpick, make a beak of the desired length and carefully insert it into the right place. Thoroughly crimp the stick at the base with dough from the head and immediately make a recess for the eye.

Take a knife and draw the grooves of the feathers from the body to the tail.

Form a transition between the wing and the body with a strip of dough, as shown in the photo below.

Cut off a small piece of dough and roll into a ball - this will be the eye. We form a ball for the eye. We put foil under the head in the beak area, setting the desired degree of head rotation. Make sure to do this before the dough dries out, as cracks may form.

Correct the shape of the eye with a damp brush.

Adjust the dough to the junction of the right wing and body. You can add another long feather on top.

Let's move on to the tail. Roll out a thin sausage. From it we will cut feathers for the tail.

On the right side, lay the sausages one on top of the other with a turn up. See how the tail is rounded.

Now add feathers on the left as well and make a slight turn up.

Now our tail looks like this!

It remains to make paws. Take a thin sausage and cut two pieces. Roll out your claws.

Form two fingers.

Glue the paws to the bottom of the abdomen and brush the edges of the sausages with a wet brush. That's all! Our bird is ready. We leave to dry.

In this master class, I will tell you how to make a bird out of salt dough, which will serve as a wonderful souvenir gift. Colorful bright birds will perfectly decorate any interior. And also modeling from salt dough is an interesting and exciting activity that will bring pleasure to both children and adults.
