Every child must have a sense of patriotism in his soul, and, above all, this applies to his small homeland - the city in which he lives. The younger generation must understand that the condition of their native streets, their cleanliness and, by and large, hospitality depends directly on the population itself. We decided to dedicate this modeling lesson to the dream of an ideal city. Many people associate a cozy street with cleanliness, greenery and well-groomed conditions. You can endlessly fantasize about this topic and add new subjects and elements to the composition. We will show you the idea of sculpting a city from plasticine. And parents, together with their children, have the opportunity to stretch out the interesting process over several days and add all kinds of objects at their discretion.
1. To create a city you need a foundation. This can be a modeling board itself or an ordinary piece of cardboard of any size.
2. You should start by creating a background. Make a road approximately in the middle; to do this, place gray plasticine, smooth the surface with your fingers, and trim any uneven edges with a spatula.
3. Using a few drops of white plasticine, apply markings and a pedestrian crossing to the road.
4. Create a sidewalk path on one or both sides of the road by attaching a brown sausage and pressing it with your fingers. Fill the rest of the field with green plasticine - this will be a grass covering.
5. Form multi-colored blocks of different sizes and place along the entire length of the composition on the green field.
6. Make roofs for your miniature houses from brown plasticine, and attach black dots instead of windows and doors. Make high-rise buildings in any order.
7. Make several trees from small portions of brown and green play dough and line them up along the walkway.
8. Either duplicate the second half of the composition with the same buildings, or decorate it with green and blue plasticine. In the latter case, you will get the basis for a park with a clean pond.
9. Add lights on both sides of the road. They are easy to make from gray and white plasticine.
10. Put white swans on the water, place benches and bushes along the pond.
11. Fill the park with greenery. Add cars to the road if desired.
The final look of the craft.
This is how the city turned out. If you make the composition larger, you will get a wonderful playing field for a child. He will definitely enjoy adding more and more plasticine objects as he builds up the city.

Listen to the description of the Sunny City from the book by N.Nosova"Dunno in the Sunny City."
“The round fields soon ended, and houses began to appear on the sides of the road. They were small, no more than two floors, but very beautiful: with high pointed roofs, painted in bright colors, with verandas, terraces, balconies and intricate turrets on the roofs. Gazebos were built in the courtyards and all kinds of flowers bloomed. The further the travelers traveled, the more often they came across houses. The highway imperceptibly turned into a wide city street. The houses on the sides were getting taller. Cars moved in a continuous stream.
On both sides of the street there were multi-storey buildings that amazed with their beauty. The walls of the houses were decorated with intricate patterns, and above, under the roofs, there were large paintings painted in bright multi-colored paints. There were figures on many housesvariousanimals carved from stone. The same figures were belowentranceshouses.
Crowds of walking babies and toddlers moved along the sidewalk. Laughter and jokes were heard. Music was coming from somewhere."

For preschool children, you can come up with many entertaining activities; modeling from plasticine occupies a special place among them. Thanks to this type of creativity, parents will be able to instill in their child a love of creativity, develop fantasy, imagination, and fine motor skills. In addition, by making figures from plasticine, the baby learns to be independent.
What to make
Before starting a lesson, every parent thinks about what can be made from plasticine. Fantasize a little, imagine yourself as a child, think about what will interest your son or daughter most. Children's crafts may involve the use of many additional materials, which include: flowers, leaves, acorns, cones, and chestnuts.Take note of what you can make from plasticine:
- and birds. Interesting and funny hedgehogs, bunnies, and turtles will delight your little one. In addition, such plasticine crafts for children are made very quickly and simply.
- Thematic figures. Undoubtedly, for every child it is a special, long-awaited event, because it is associated with toys and various gifts. Simple crafts made from plasticine in the form of a Christmas tree decoration, a snowman and, in fact, the Christmas tree itself will lift your spirits on the eve of the holiday.
- Flowers. Mesmerizing compositions made with a child will look as if they were alive. Depending on the age of the baby, you can make flowers with a minimum number of details, as well as more complex volumetric compositions.
- Trees. Having mastered easy crafts from plasticine, you can move on to more complex figures. Of course, a child will not be able to mold a tree on his own; he will need the help of an adult. But after taking a few steps in creating a craft, the child will be able to easily finish the job he started.
- Vegetables, fruits, sweets. Even novice craftsmen will be able to master the process of creating miniatures of their favorite delicacies. Select the necessary colors of plasticine, then you can safely start creating.

After today's modeling lesson, you will add one more to your collection of plasticine trees - linden. We will consider the fruit of the linden tree to be its wild color. It is for these small fragrant flowers that such a plant is valued. So, let’s learn together how to make a flowering linden tree from plasticine with your own hands step by step. The tree blooms in spring, grows in villages and cities, parks and gardens, groves and forests, so it is probably familiar to you. Perhaps you have even tried drinking tea with fragrant flowers - it is very tasty and healthy. Traditionally we will use green and brown, but we will also need yellow to simulate flowering.
Other lessons on trees:Step-by-step photo lesson:
We will show the crown and leaves using green plasticine, the trunk - using brown. To make flowers, you can use yellow or white (or a mixture of these two shades). Definitely, the flowers should be very small, and this will cause difficulty for some, but the task of sculpting can be simplified.
Make a green crown and trunk. The green part should be shaped like a dome, the trunk should be a cone (narrow and tall).
Make very small blanks for the flowers. Roll out pellets from pieces of plasticine - the smaller they are, the better and more believable, the craft will look, and the result will be neater. For leaves and twigs, also make sausages and flat cakes.
Collect several sausages in a bouquet. Press the resulting branches onto a pile of yellow pellets, ensuring that the yellow small parts stick densely to the branches in a random manner. Attach leaves on top.
Connect the crown and trunk - the outline of the tree is ready.
It remains to show that the resulting tree is a linden tree. Glue the flowers around the entire circumference.
The plasticine linden tree of our own production is ready. It does not emit a natural aroma, but it can be sprinkled with a few drops of fragrant eau de toilette for plausibility.
Let's look at how to make a city out of plasticine. This is a kind of collective article from the knowledge gained; links to other materials related to this article are posted in this text. Along the way, in this lesson you will learn about all sorts of important little things that your magical plasticine city cannot do without.
To make them look better, you need to make a basis for placing the composition. It is made from thick cardboard or paper. You can use old shoe boxes or thick wrapping paper. Using scissors, cut out the parts of the required shapes and sizes and glue them together with glue or tape. To make it stick better, you can fasten the cardboard with pieces of plasticine.
To make grass, a river and a lake, mark with a pencil on cardboard the areas where all this should be. Then take the plasticine and roll it out onto the cardboard in a very thin layer.
The elevation is done according to the principle of a well. Make a lot of multi-colored cubes and build a hill out of them. If you want to spend less plasticine, you can first make a base out of cardboard, and use cubes to build only the staircase leading to the castle.
Flowers can be stuck on green elevations - mounds. Roses can be made using a “sausage” twisted into a spiral, and daisies and other flowers can be made using a ball - the center of the flower, and teardrop-shaped petals.
Work a little on your own, studying others on the topic “Sculpting plasticine” and carefully looking at Figure 3 - complete the city from plasticine! I hope everything works out for you and you now know how to make a city out of plasticine!
