Meanwhile, not all children and adults know that clay can be used not only for sculpting, but also for creating incredibly beautiful paintings depicting convex or semi-volume objects on a horizontal surface. This technique, or plasticine, is an unusually fascinating and interesting activity, which, moreover, is very useful for developing the intelligence of babies, especially at preschool age.
In this article we will tell you what is the use of plasticine for children 4-5 years old, and give some templates, with which you can draw bright and original stucco paintings.
What is the use of plasticine for preschoolers?
In the process of creating paintings from plasticine, boys and girls acquire and improve the following useful skills:
- the ability to navigate in a horizontal plane;
- acquaintance and knowledge of the surrounding world;
- improving the skills of working with plasticine;
- the awakening of interest in modeling and creative activity in general;
- development of fine motor skills of the fingers, fantasy and emotional perception;
- education of artistic taste;
- the development of creative abilities and spatial- figurative thinking.
In addition, plasticine studies for children aged 3-4 years and older contribute to the development of independence and, at the same time, socialization, which is very important for the further adaptation of children in the children's team. Finally, the creation of molded pictures of plasticine removes muscle and psycho-emotional tension and allows boys and girls to relax and splash out the energy accumulated during the day.
Features of plasticine for children of different ages
Naturally, the templates for plasticine for children of different ages will differ quite seriously from each other. So, kids 3-4 years old are just learning to smear plasticine with a thin layer on an existing basis, roll out "sausages" and balls from it, if necessary, flatten out "pancakes" from them, and also to grasp the details of the resulting image among themselves.
In order for a child at this age to cope with the task on his own, he should offer simple templates, for example, a sun with bright beams around the perimeter of the circle, green grass and flowers, a hedgehog with needles, colorful sparks of fireworks in the sky, and others.
Plots of plasticine on the theme of the seasons - autumn, winter, spring or summer - are suitable for children of 4-5 years. So, the child with the help of multi-colored plasticine can depict an autumn leaf fall, whirling snow flakes, springing spring or hot summer heat.
Plasticine for children 5-6 years old is characterized by the complexity of the composition, the abundance of various elements, and the use of combinations of many shades. The guys of the senior preschool age are already actively creating decorative naleps, pulling the details away from the common form, joining the parts together by means of various techniques, mixing colors and so on.
That's why templates for plasticine at this age also become much more complicated. In them appear integral objects, for example, fruits, plants, animals and a variety of objects. In addition, some templates are genre pictures in which there is an action and one or more characters.
Very often, in addition to plasticine, other materials are used to perform such work, for example, beads, threads, cereals, seeds or pasta. Finally, in the arsenal of actions of experienced plasticine players, such elements as stack trimming, scratching, and others appear.
