- Modelling using Modelling clay
When using modeling clay to teach kids how to make a model, you can guide them through a series of steps to help them understand the basics of modeling and creativity.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Introduction
Explain the Project: Show them a finished example they will be creating (e.g., a simple clay cat or dog).
Discuss the Tools: Briefly demonstrate the use of any tools and how they can help shape the clay.
Painting
background painting: let the kids pick the colors they want to use for different parts of their model.
Creating Basic Shapes
Body Shape: Guide them to form the main body of the object by rolling the clay into a ball or an oval shape.
Head and Limbs: Help them shape smaller pieces of clay into the head, legs, and tail. Demonstrate how to attach these pieces to the body.
Adding Details
Facial Features: Show them how to make eyes, ears, and a nose using small pieces of clay. They can use a tool or their fingers to add texture and detail.
Finishing Touches: Teach them how to smooth out seams and blend parts together with a little water and their fingers.
Displaying
Display Options: Suggest ways they can display their models once they are complete, such as creating a small base or stand from extra clay.
