The great holiday of Easter is approaching, and it’s time to little by little prepare decorations for the home and cute gifts for loved ones. Plasticine souvenirs are a good option! For example, a cute and elegant chicken, decorated with simple bright patterns.
Materials and tools for the master class "Chicken made of plasticine"
We will need:
+ plasticine – black, white, green, red and yellow
+ scalpel
1. From white plasticine we sculpt the body and the base for the future tail:
2. Using a scalpel, cut out the feathers on the tail and attach it to the body:
3. We sculpt wings from white plasticine, use a scalpel to form feathers on them and stick them to the body:
4. We make a beak from yellow plasticine and attach it to the head, drawing on a smile and nostrils with a scalpel:
5. Roll two oval balls from black plasticine and make two balls of approximately the same size from white. Next, we roll two balls of green plasticine (medium size), two of black (smaller) and two of white (the smallest). We make a small thin stick from black plasticine. From these elements we form eyes with long eyelashes:
6. From red plasticine we make a beard and comb elements. We connect the latter with each other:
7. We sculpt paws from yellow plasticine. Attach the paws, comb and beard to the chicken’s body:
In this modeling lesson we will continue to learn how to sculpt birds from plasticine. We invite you to see how to make a chicken from plasticine. All children know this pet, and they also know that hens are hens that lay eggs and hatch chicks. For clarity, let's prepare a small cozy nest for the hen, where she will spend a long time waiting for the yellow-mouthed brood. Prepare the materials list below and get to work on the fun.
Materials needed to create a chicken from plasticine:
- a set of plasticine;
- a piece of cardboard;
- board for modeling;
- wet wipe.
Stages of completing the craft
1. Select several shades from a set of plasticine that are suitable for creating a chicken and a nest. It is best to combine colors.
2. Make brush for the nest from brown plasticine and its combinations with yellow, orange and beige. Divide the prepared material into portions, then roll each into a thin stick. Cut a circle or square from cardboard.
3. Add a drop of red to the brown plasticine and stir thoroughly. Make an oval poultry body from the resulting piece.
4. From a light material, for example yellow, make a blank for the head.
5. Draw a beautiful frill in a stack. Place the eyes and beak on the front of the future chicken's head.
6. From the same red-brown plasticine, mold triangular wings. To show that they are covered with feathers on top, treat them with a stack.
7. Attach the wings on both sides of the oval body, pressing firmly on the cakes so that they stick.
8. To complete the look of the hen, place a small red comb on the top of her head, but do not forget that its size should be significantly smaller than that of the rooster. Attach yellow cakes to the back - a tail.
9. Stick previously prepared brushwood onto the cardboard in a chaotic manner, forming a nest. Place the chicken on top.

Our hen is ready. You may soon have an entire chicken farm in your home if your child is inspired to create new creations after our modeling lesson.
What a chicken family! Children as young as five can make a chicken, and even a very young sculptor can make a chicken. Before you start, you can talk to your children about these poultry.
Of course, chicken is familiar to everyone. “Once upon a time there lived Grandfather and Baba, and they had a chicken, Ryaba...” This fairy tale is certainly known to everyone, even very young children. Do you know where our pied hen comes from? From Southeast Asia. The ancestors of all modern chicken breeds live there - the wild bank rooster. They took care of themselves: they looked for worms and bugs, pecked plant seeds, and made their own nests. By the way, wild chickens made their nests on the ground, not in trees.
But after people tamed chickens and made them domesticated, they changed a lot. For example, they began to dress up in multi-colored feathers. Today there are black, white and motley. And what handsome roosters! People even bred a decorative breed of chickens without any feathers. I don’t know, though, whether it’s very decorative...
But feathers are not the most important thing. Much more important is the benefit that chickens bring to humans. Today there are a huge number of breeds - egg, meat, ornamental and even fighting. Egg breeds lay many delicious eggs. If a wild chicken laid 10-12 eggs a year, then a modern chicken of the egg-laying breed laid 300, and some record holders 360 - every day.
A mother hen is a caring mother to her chicks. She keeps warm and hatches eggs for 21 days. And when the chickens hatch, it protects them from any danger. As soon as the hen sees that something is threatening the chickens, she will become agitated, cluck, call, gather her babies and hide them under her wing.
Chickens live in a chicken coop. And the owner of the chicken coop is a handsome rooster with a silken head, an oily beard, spurs on his feet - an enviable gentleman. And his main pride is his multi-colored tail. Chicken and rooster are domestic birds. Of course, they do not live in an apartment, like canaries or parrots, but in chicken coops. Or on large poultry farms.
The bully rooster vigilantly watches his chicken coop. He is always ready to bravely rush into a fight with roosters, and even with other inhabitants of the rural yard. Maybe chase the cat away. Don't hurt my family! And the rooster is the first to meet the sun and joyfully greets him with his crowing. And, at the same time, it wakes up the whole neighborhood - “Kuka-re-ku!!! Get up, sleepyheads, the sun has risen, a new day has come! Ku-ka-re-ku!
Well, now let's move on to sculpting. If you have forgotten how to make balls, sausages, cones, etc. from plasticine, read the article
To work you need:
- Plasticine, orange, brown, yellow, red and black
- Modeling board, stack
First let's make a chicken. Take a quarter of a standard plasticine stick in orange and brown colors. This is the case if you want to make a pied hen, as in the example. But you can also make them simply from white, grey, black, brown plasticine. Then skip step 2.
Mix brown and orange plasticine into a single mass.
Divide the resulting mass into two approximately equal parts. One is for the head, wings and neck, the other is for the body.
From a large piece we roll an oblong ellipsoid ball. This is the body of a chicken.
Divide the remaining piece of plasticine into approximately three parts, and roll one part into a short and thick cylinder sausage. This is the neck of a chicken.
Let's press the neck and torso to each other.
From the second piece of plasticine we roll an ellipsoid head.
Let's make a chicken crest. Take a small piece of red plasticine, roll it into a short sausage and flatten it. Now we will cut it with a stack in three or four places. The crest is ready.
Let's stick the crest to the chicken's head.
Let's make the beak and eyes. Roll a small red cone out of red plasticine and press it to the head. This is a beak. Roll two small eye balls from black plasticine and stick them to the chicken’s head. Pull the chicken's small tail out of its body. This is how it should turn out
Now the paws. Let's roll three identical red sausages. Let's cut one in half.
Take a long sausage and bend it in an arc. And stick a short sausage in the middle. The result was a paw with three fingers. We will also make a second paw.
Let's stick the legs to the body of the chicken.
To make the wings, take the last remaining “variegated” piece of plasticine, divide it into two parts, roll two balls from both parts and flatten them into flat cakes. Using a stack, we cut the future wing in four or five places - as if we were cutting a fringe.
All that remains is to connect the wings to the body and the chicken is ready.
Let's make chicken. From a small piece of yellow plasticine, roll an elongated ellipsoid ball.
Starting at the age of 2, children begin a period when they are interested in building and creating. At this time, they like construction sets, pyramids, and especially plasticine as a building material. You can mold anything from plasticine, from primitive figures (a ball, a sausage) to complex figures of people and animals. In addition, modeling perfectly develops the creativity and imagination of children. Of course, this cannot be done without the help of parents. Do not doubt that you and your child will have great fun while modeling.
Children love bright characters, so today we will sculpt a funny chicken. You can choose any colors for the chicken to suit your taste. Experiment, and the result will definitely please you.
Chicken made of plasticine
You will need:
- Yellow plasticine for the body
- Orange plasticine for beak and paws
- Red plasticine for comb
- Blue or red plasticine for wings
- The tail can be made from any colors
Modeling instructions:
1. From yellow plasticine, mold the body of a chicken, shaped like a cone with a blunt end at the top.
2. Make 3 small cakes from red plasticine and attach them in a row on your head. You will get a scallop.
3. We make eyes from white and black.
4. Now let's sculpt the beak. To do this, we will form an elongated diamond from a small piece of orange plasticine and flatten it a little.
5. Fold it in half to create a beak.
6. For the tail, roll 3 sausages of any color, preferably different (for me it’s blue, orange and green).
7. Stick the sausages to the back of the chicken and bend them a little. The result is a tail like this.
8. Let’s form paws from orange plasticine. Using a stick or a toothpick we will make fingers.
9. Place the paws at the very bottom of the chicken’s body.
The bustling village yard is teeming with a wide variety of animals and birds. Starting from the very sunrise and until its last ray goes out, it never ceases to be silent. One of its most numerous representatives is chickens.
Therefore, it’s time to figure out how to mold a chicken from plasticine step by step with your own hands. We stock up on everything we need, wet our hands and get started!
The set of necessary tools and materials is standard - plasticine of the desired color, toothpicks for fastening and depicting drawings and, if desired and possible, a special spatula for working with sculpture.
Let's roll up a lump of plasticine of the desired color - pockmarked, black or light chicken - it's a matter of your taste. Also choose any size. But if you plan to make several crafts, make sure that their sizes match.
Next, from the main part we sculpt the neck and head, as shown in the picture. The recognizable silhouette of a plasticine chicken has already emerged. Then, from a piece of a slightly different color, we make a pair of wings, on which we draw feathers with a toothpick. We attach it to the body.
Then we roll small balls from the same color and, after rolling them out a little, flatten them. Let's get small feathers for the tail. We make the feathers for the tail of the chicken from plasticine small and sticking up so that they do not look like a rooster’s tail.
All that remains is to sculpt and attach the scallop, beak, paws and eyes. The paws can be made from toothpick halves covered with plasticine to give them strength. In general, the craft is ready.
You can choose any color. It’s even better if your flock includes representatives of other breeds. Plus, you can add other representatives of the fauna of your grandfather’s yard to the plasticine chicken -,
