Modeling is one of the first and most significant types of creative activity of a child. Kids get to know her already in the younger group of kindergarten. Modeling in the preschool educational institution occupies a separate huge layer. And it's not just that.

The hand is the human brain that came out

Almost all kids love to sculpt. In the process, the child not only sees the result, but also touches it, can change and supplement something. Here the main tool is the hands, not a brush, pencil or scissors. The child will get acquainted with the stack, but a little later, and at first it is the hands that are an important component on which the children's plasticine modeling is built.

Therefore, a child begins to master his own hands much better after he is given the opportunity to create from plasticine, clay, s alt dough.

Then the kid realizes that from one block of plasticine you can invent an infinite number of images. He acquires more skills, no longer a mother or teacher show and say what to sculpt. Now the child is a creator, it is enough for him to have the simplest modeling kit to bring his plans and ideas to life.

Why should babies sculpt?

Under constructionnew works, the child gets used to the image and begins to create and create new and original works from plasticine. At the same time, artistic taste is actively developing, ingenuity begins to work, fantasy and imagination are given free rein, which means that spatial thinking is actively developing.

It's no secret that the development of fine motor skills of the hands is the development of speech. therefore, modeling for children is not just an exciting process, but also a hand massage, the development of fingers. All this will positively affect how the child will speak in the future.

Everything that develops in the process of modeling will help the child grow into a harmonious, creative personality.

Modeling in the older group of kindergarten

By the older group of kindergarten, children already have some experience with plasticine. They already create products that are much more diverse and sophisticated than in previous years. The muscles of the hands have already grown stronger, so there are new opportunities for creating more precise details.

The child's psyche also does not stand still. The attention of children becomes more stable, they have become much more diligent. Now the child can already reproduce the image in his head, and then fashion it.

If we compare children of the older and middle groups, then after six years the child is already able to sculpt dynamic objects, however, he comes up with the action after the product is ready. For example, it is planned to blind a cat. The child fashioned a cat, but the cat's paws are widely spaced. Here the baby may assume that the cat is running. Then he will arrange for herpaws even more. And if the teacher asks about what the cat is doing, then, for example, he will say: “She is running away from the dog.”

Senior program

At the beginning of the year, children in the older group learn to sculpt the simplest objects that are familiar to them. In this case, the bias goes to creating a product from the total mass by pulling individual parts. Fruits and vegetables are molded at this stage.

After that, learning to sculpt in parts begins. From a single piece, folk toys are usually taken as a basis - cockerels, dolls, whistles.

Further, the educator makes an emphasis on the relative size of the details, on a more accurate transfer of the features of the object, on strengthening the parts together by smoothing the joints. Here the child learns to set the figures vertically on a wide base.

Then follows the stage of learning to sculpt figures on the legs. Since it falls in winter, children are usually encouraged to fashion boys and girls in winter clothes, but there may be other topics.

The next step is the image of animals, usually from one piece. Then the figures are complemented by individual details.

It also provides for the modeling of dishes based on folk crafts.

Further, the program involves work on expanding children's knowledge about the world around them. Thus, modeling can take place in the older group on the theme of "Spring", when children try to create animal figures in motion, scenes from fairy tales.

In the summer, at the modeling lessons, it is repeated and fixed for the pastyear. Here, classes can already be held both at the suggestion of the educator, and according to the children's own plan. Children sculpt based on observations, or with the nature proposed by the educator.

Spring theme

The third quarter of the school year falls in the spring. Here, the teacher can offer children a wide variety of topics for modeling.

For example, classes can be timed to coincide with significant days:

• Shrovetide (sculpting a scarecrow of winter, making dishes for pancakes, pancakes themselves).
• 8 March (flower modeling).
• Cosmonautics Day (modeling of space objects).
• Easter (modeling eggs and Easter cakes, hens and chickens).
• Victory Day (military-themed crafts).

In the classroom during this period, you can learn how to sculpt flowers, insects, animals.

Spring Class Tasks

When preparing a lesson, the teacher sets himself a number of tasks that he must solve. Like any lesson, modeling in the senior group on the theme "Spring" involves the solution of three main tasks:

1. Educational tasks.

   Here the basic knowledge of the child about such a season as spring is consolidated, knowledge of spring signs, knowledge of migratory and wintering birds, the ability to give a complete answer to the question is formed.

Development tasks.

The development of sound-syllabic analysis continues, the development of the ability to coordinate parts of speech with each other, the development of fine motor skills of the hands, the development of tactile sensitivity. It also develops logical thinking, the ability to analyze andcompare. Attention, memory, imagination develops.

Educational tasks.

Sculpting in the senior group on the theme "Spring" helps to cultivate the ability to contemplate and understand the beauty of the world around on the basis of riddles, sayings, proverbs, incantations, to cultivate accuracy in the performance of work. This, in turn, introduces children to folklore. The ability to listen to the answers of other children is also brought up.

Study materials

In order for the lesson to be interesting, rich, various materials are used.

1. Various visual materials on the spring theme. It can also be reproductions of paintings by famous artists, for example, "Big Water" by Levitan, "Rooks Have Arrived" by Savrasov, "Blow in the Spring" by Kryzhitsky, "Spring Landscape" by Bergholz, "Early Spring" by Endogurov, "Spring" by Bryullov. It can also be just a set of themed cards depicting the signs of spring.
2. Various decorative elements are used to decorate figures and products: buttons, decorative stones, beads, twigs, threads.
3. Musical accompaniment. Here you can use both the works of the classics, for example, "Snowdrop" by P. I. Tchaikovsky from the children's album "The Seasons", as well as other works ("Vesnyanka" music and lyrics by Z. Lozinskaya).
4. Requires a standard kit for modeling: plasticine and stack.

The rest of the equipment is selected based on the subject of the lesson at the discretion of the teacher.
