Plasticine sculpting is an exciting activity for kids and their parents. It is especially interesting to create animals. It will be easier for the kid if at the initial stage you help him. The first animals should be based on simple elements such as balls and sausages. Don't be afraid to fantasize and use additional materials.

Plasticine, sunflower seeds, lace
Instructions
Step 1
Plasticine hedgehog
You can mold a wonderful hedgehog from plasticine. To do this, you need to take a small piece of brown or dark gray plasticine and form a small piece of it - a sausage. At the end, the resulting workpiece should be sharp - this is the future spout. Now take a piece of white and make two tiny balls out of it - eyes. It is convenient to make pupils from small black beads.
Step 2
Pin the eyes in place, forming a muzzle. Make the tip of the spout out of a small plasticine ball of a contrasting color. After that, you need to sculpt the legs in the same color as the body. These can be small balls or sausages - at your discretion. And, of course, the most important thing for a hedgehog is needles. Use regular sunflower seeds to make them. Just stick them gently into the hedgehog's body, trying to evenly cover the entire back. If there are no seeds at hand, then hedgehog needles can be made from pine needles. The plasticine hedgehog is ready.
Step 3
Plasticine pig
Make a funny pig out of plasticine. Of course, you need a pink color, but if you really want to, you can make a pig of a different color, for example, blue. To make a pig, first roll a few balls. Two of them should be larger, these are the future head and body of the pig. Four more balls - smaller, they will make wonderful plump legs.
Step 4
Gently fasten all six balls together so that you get a blank for the pig. After that, you can proceed to the design of the face. To do this, roll two tiny balls out of black plasticine and make eyes out of them. Now make a patch. It will be just a thick plasticine cake with two holes. The pig's ears should be in the form of triangles, if desired, they can be made from colored cardboard. And, of course, the ponytail. Roll up a small, thin sausage and fold it into a spiral. After that, you can attach the ponytail in place.
Step 5
On the basis of a hedgehog and a pig, other animals can be molded from plasticine. For example, if you add a long tail and large round ears to a hedgehog, you will get a charming mouse, in this case, of course, needles are not needed. The mouse tail does not have to be made of plasticine; you can, for example, use a beautiful lace. Instead of a pig, you can get a great cat, you just need to dazzle another muzzle and tail. If you wish, you can make strips or spots of plasticine of a contrasting color for the cat.
