How to make a hedgehog from plasticine - step-by-step instructions

How to make a hedgehog from plasticine

If your child likes to create animal figures from plasticine, invite him to make a hedgehog. This cute, prickly animal will add to your baby's collection of products. To make a little animal, we suggest you choose one of the instructions below. You will learn how to make a hedgehog from plasticine in different ways.

If you have already sculpted a cat from plasticine, which we talked about in the previous article, then making a charming hedgehog will not be difficult. We have selected several options for making a hedgehog for you. The first two will be based only on the use of plasticine.

The first method of sculpting

Before making a cute hedgehog from plasticine, prepare:

• soft, children's plasticine;
• scissors with pointed edges;
• knife for working with plasticine;
• board;
• skewer.

Get ready to learn how to make a hedgehog from plasticine:

Hedgehog according to the first method (Step 1)

1. The first thing we will do is make a face for the future hedgehog. For it, it is better to use plasticine with a very light shade and hints of brown. If you don't have this in your set, don't worry. Take a brown shade and white. Connect these two pieces and crumple until the streaks disappear. The resulting mass must be rolled into a ball. Give the ball a cone shape. The muzzle can be considered almost ready. Set the workpiece aside.
2. Let's start sculpting the body. It should be dark. Take the color you want, knead the material and roll into a ball. Gently press the resulting ball on the sides to form an oval.

   
   (Step 2)

3. Take the muzzle and body blank and connect them. In the joint area, add teardrop-shaped pieces in a brown shade (they should resemble spines) to hide the joint.
4. We return to the light brown color again, we need to make the ears. Roll small balls, flatten them and connect at the bottom. Using a skewer, carefully secure the ears to the hedgehog's head. In the space between the ears, place the same drop-shaped parts as in the previous paragraph.
5. The time has come for the formation of spines on the future hedgehog. For this purpose we will use scissors. Using the tip of the scissors, make small cuts in the plasticine. Use a skewer to press down the middle of the created needles. You can make a couple of additional cuts on the needles that we made on the hedgehog’s head.

   
   (Step 3)

6. All that remains is to design the face. To do this, use a stack to make indentations in the place of the eyes. Roll out small black balls and insert into the recesses. We attach the spout in the same way. Finally, we decorate the hedgehog’s mouth.

You learned how to make a hedgehog from plasticine step by step. To make the hedgehog look even brighter, add a couple of elements to it. These could be apples, pears or mushrooms. They can be attached to spines. And one of the ears can be decorated with a small flower.

Having such a hedgehog and a few other plasticine animals, all you have to do is make a car out of plasticine, put the whole company in it and go on a trip. You will learn how to make a car from this article.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OF THE COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL POLICY AND CULTURE OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF IRKUTSK MUNICIPAL BUDGET PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION OF IRKUTSK KINDERGARTEN No. 173 (MBDOU Irkutsk kindergarten No. 17 3)

Compiled and conducted by Educator: Lebedeva Ekaterina Konstantinovna

Fine arts classes help the child master basic modeling techniques, and also have a beneficial effect on the overall development of the child: they cultivate a sense of beauty, develop thinking, imagination, attention, memory, and develop hard work.

Goal: To teach children to make a large ball of plasticine by rolling it in a circular motion on a modeling board. Learn how to design a craft. Develop fine motor skills and finger coordination. Cultivate compassion and kindness.

Tasks:

1. Artistic and aesthetic development:

• instill in children an interest in creative activities
• develop perseverance, composure, diligence, accuracy and attentiveness
• develop fine motor skills of hands

2. Speech development:

• activation of the dictionary on the topic

3. Cognitive development:

• consolidate knowledge about the habitat of hedgehogs.

Demo material:

• toy hedgehog (rubber), pictures of a hedgehog.

Handout:

• plasticine, matches, cardboard stand for the finished product, board for modeling.

Progress of the lesson:

Educator: - Look, guys, who came to visit us from the forest - a little hedgehog. But for some reason he’s the only one who’s sad. Let’s make him laugh and we’ll turn into hedgehogs ourselves. To do this we need to clasp our fingers together. Straight fingers - “spines” stick up. Fingers bent - the hedgehog has curled up into a ball (we repeat several times).

Educator: - Guys, the hedgehog is still very sad. Why is he so upset? (the teacher is responsible for the hedgehog): - I’m bored in the forest, I have no friends at all and I have no one to play with. Help me please guys!

Educator: - Well, guys, let's help the hedgehog? Let's make him friends.

We show the children how to roll a large ball of plasticine between their palms in a circular motion. If a child doesn’t succeed, we help. Let the children do the labor-intensive work of sticking matches into the back of the hedgehog, and also rolling small balls for the eyes, legs and nose.

Educator: Look, guys, what wonderful hedgehogs we have turned out to be. Our hedgehog has so many new friends! Now our hedgehog will not be bored in the forest.

Do you guys like the resulting hedgehogs? Which hedgehogs did you like? Why did you like them? What new did you learn today? Did you like it?

The second method of sculpting

The following modeling from plasticine is especially relevant for children. Unlike the previous option, the spines of this hedgehog will not be cut out, but will be made from the same basic material. This means that work will be done with small details, which will successfully affect the child’s fine motor skills. What you need for work:

• plasticine (take several colors, one for the spines, the other for the face);
• napkins;
• board;
• plastic knife.

How to make a prickly hedgehog from plasticine step by step:

Hedgehog according to the second method (Step 1)

1. The first thing to do is to prepare the material for work. Plasticine should be pliable for modeling, so warm it up well in your hands and knead it. Prepare a light color for the body, a dark color for the needles.
2. Let's start with a light color. You need to make a long cone out of it. The sharp end needs to be highlighted so that the hedgehog’s curious nose is always visible. As you understand, the sharp part will be the muzzle, and the wide part will become the body; you do not need to make the head and body separately.
3. Attach a small black ball to the spout. This nose definitely loves to look for treats. Glue on the eyes.

   
   (Step 2)

4. We continue working with the light color. You need to roll four balls. Gently press them so that they acquire an elongated shape (if possible, use a special spatula). Using a knife, cut out the fingers on the resulting paws. We attach the paws to the previously made cone. Make sure they look the same.
5. It's time to add some needles to our hedgehog. We take a dark color, tear off small pieces from it, stretch them out and sharpen them. We attach the spines to the body. We make a lot of needles to cover the hedgehog completely. Try not to allow voids to appear.

The hedgehog is ready. This type of plasticine modeling will be very interesting for children. And with a little effort, the finished hedgehog turns out very beautiful.

Plasticine crafts for children may include foreign components, such as pine cones, seeds, real pine thorns, leaves and acorns. When looking at plasticine hedgehogs, study crafts using seeds, because these are natural spines.

Modeling lesson in the first junior group “Here is a hedgehog - no head, no legs”

Modeling - experimentation in the first junior group "Kurnosiki"

“Here is a hedgehog - no head, no legs”

Prepared by teacher V. A. Pilyugina.

Target:

Teach children to reproduce the image of a hedgehog: insert needles from various materials into the body sculpted by the teacher and thereby convey the characteristic features of the hedgehog’s appearance. Develop fine motor skills and sense of shape. Foster independence and a sense of beauty.

Preliminary work

: Looking at pictures of a hedgehog, talking about the appearance of a hedgehog, reading the story “Hedgehog” by E. Charushin.

Materials:

The “body” of a hedgehog made of plasticine, sculpted by the teacher (cone-shaped or egg-shaped), material for needles: matches, sunflower seeds, pasta, cocktail tubes, cut into pieces 2 cm long; material for the eyes (beads, beads, buckwheat), napkins, “clearings” cut out of green cardboard.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS:

The teacher asks a riddle:

There are needles on the back,

Long and stinging.

And he will curl up into a ball -

There is no head or legs. (Hedgehog)

• Well done boys! This is a hedgehog. (teacher shows a toy hedgehog)
• Hedgehogs have spines growing on their backs and they are very prickly. Hedgehogs prick mushrooms, apples, and berries onto needles and take them to their hedgehogs.

Finger gymnastics exercise about a hedgehog “Prickly Ball”

Walks and wanders along the paths (we “walk” on the table with our fingers)

A gray hedgehog covered in needles (palms together, fingers straightened).

So that the wolf doesn't drag you away,

The hedgehog has turned into a ball (we make a closed “castle”).

Then the teacher invites the children to make a hedgehog with long needles. Shows plasticine cones.

• Guys, look, our hedgehogs have no needles. (Brings the “body” of the hedgehog to the children and asks them to touch it)
• Our hedgehog is smooth, not prickly, let's give the hedgehog some thorns? (children's answers)
• And we will make needles for the hedgehog from pasta. How can you attach spines to a hedgehog? (children's answers)

Next, the children “help” the hedgehog put on his prickly coat. When completing this task, the teacher helps children who have difficulty working.

If desired, they can decorate the eyes and nose of hedgehogs (from beads, beads, buckwheat).

Physical school

-Wait, prickly hedgehog, straight arms to the sides, then in front of the chest

Tell me: where are you going? Walking in place with high knees

And energetic waves of the arms.

-I'm going to the red squirrels, Jumping on the spot

I bring them needles. Rotation with clasped hands.

Five dressmakers in five minutes Alternately bend the fingers of their right hands into a fist

They will sew mittens for me. Alternately bend the fingers on the left hand into a fist.

At the end, shake off with brushes.

At the end of the lesson, children place their hedgehogs in the “clearings” and move them to the general exhibition.

Hedgehog with sunflower seeds

As you have seen from the previous instructions, sculpting a hedgehog is not that difficult. There is a slight problem with small parts, because children under five years old often cannot make them. But using seeds instead of thorns is an original solution.

As in previous master classes, we will need plasticine and a board. Sunflower seeds complement this list.

Let's look at how to make a hedgehog from plasticine and seeds:

1. Knead the brown plasticine until it is completely pliable for modeling. Form a ball. We pull back the material to make the nose. The rest of the body can be left unchanged, because the hedgehog often rolls into a ball to protect itself from the enemy. Attach a small brown drop to the sharp end. Add eyes.

   

2. Now you can do what little children love so much - attaching seeds. They need to be carefully inserted with the wide part into the body. You don't need to press hard. Start laying out the first row at the muzzle. The second row must be placed between the gaps of the first so that all the empty space is filled.

This simple plasticine modeling for children will interest your child. Offer to decorate the craft with additional elements, for example, gifts of autumn, which the child already knows how to sculpt.

Hedgehog with watermelon seeds

The next creative craft option will tell you how to make a beautiful hedgehog from plasticine and watermelon seeds.

Who said that you need to sculpt a hedgehog from plasticine? We offer you a different approach to creating crafts. Prepare for creativity:

• large leaf;
• paints (you can use gouache paint);
• dry leaves;
• dried watermelon seeds;
• brown cardboard;
• plasticine;
• scissors.

We will make a hedgehog figurine step by step:

1. The first thing you need to do is a background for the future hedgehog. You need to draw a forest or a clearing on a sheet so that the composition is natural; you can glue dry leaves, grass and even flowers onto the finished drawing.
2. Cut out a hedgehog figurine from cardboard. You can use the template we offer or find your own. Invite your child to apply a thin layer of brown plasticine to the template. They need to treat the area where the thorns will be.

3. Place a container of watermelon seeds in front of your child. Show your child how to work with them. The seeds need to be inserted into the plasticine with the sharp tip facing up. The seeds need to be placed tightly so that there are no empty spaces left.
4. When the spines are ready, all that remains is to mold the nose, eyes and mouth from plasticine. Additionally, decorate the hedgehog with mushrooms and leaves.

Take glue or double-sided adhesive tape and stick it to the previously prepared meadow. Using this principle, you can make a whole clearing of hedgehogs. You learned how to make a hedgehog from plasticine. But this is not the last option.

Many other animals can be molded from plasticine

Summary of educational activities for speech development and modeling in the 2nd junior group of the kindergarten “Visiting the Hedgehog.”

Right! For the winter he stores a lot of mushrooms and apples. Look at the picture “Hedgehog in the forest.” You see, children, he carries a lot of mushrooms and leaves on his back. (Children look at it).
