How to play fluffy plasticine for children

“Fluffiness” is given to it by a composition in which the properties of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids are combined. The latter change their density and viscosity when exposed to physical force. Acquaintance with such a toy can help in the development of many qualities in a child.

Modeling exercises develop fine motor skills in children, massage and strengthen the hands. In the process, the same muscles work as when writing with a ballpoint pen. A preschooler who has practiced playing with fluffy plasticine will not get tired in the classroom in the future.

The development of fine motor skills is closely related to the parts of the brain that are responsible for speech and writing and their correct formation. In the process of sculpting, the child composes stories and speech of plasticine creatures, learns new words. What happens plasticine Plush – light and pleasant, fluffy and smooth, soft and elastic? What word can replace fluffy – shaggy, rough?

The child sculpts fictional monsters from plasticine, comes up with names or nicknames for them, composes plots and stories with them, arranges theatrical performances. The lesson takes you into the fantasy world and develops the creative potential of the little sculptor.

This type of mental activity is necessary for future architects and designers, and in high school it will help in geometry lessons. The child has blinded a car – offer him to build a garage that is suitable for the size. Teach him the terms by comparing them with the details of the figures – square, circle, sphere, triangle. What are the objects – small, tall, tiny, pointed, rounded? How are plasticine figures positioned relative to each other, what is outside, above, below, in front, behind, diagonally?

The child quarreled with a friend, was offended by dad, worried about something – sculpting will allow you to forget negative emotions and eliminate tension. If the preschooler grows hyperactive, then modeling will calm down, and in the evening it will allow you to better tune in to sleep.

To create a figurine, the child chooses the colors of fluffy plasticine that are well combined with each other or mixes them, achieving a new beautiful shade. Adds a little black and gets a darker shade of the original, a little white – the original color lightens. In the process of playing, the child will understand that the longer he mixes colors, the more evenly a new one turns out, and if you do not specifically mix it to the end, then a new shade will turn out with a marble effect. Working with lemon, light green, hot pink fluffy plasticine Plush diversifies the child’s color perception and develops a sense of beauty in him.

Study of material properties

During the game, the child will study the properties of the material and understand how to achieve the desired result. For example, the denser the figure, the better it holds its shape. To connect the parts of fluffy plasticine with each other, the edges need to be fluffed, and to install the eyes, handles and legs on the figure, you need to make a depression.

Plush fluffy plasticine figurine can be baked in the oven and painted with paints. The child will decide for himself what to do with the finished craft: save it as a souvenir, give it to dad for his birthday, or use it in another game.
