How to make a hedgehog out of cones. Hedgehog from the cone with your own hands

Children's age is exactly that important periodwhen it is necessary not only to bring up the child correctly and instill in him the best qualities, but also to develop his mental and creative abilities. The fact is that the energy store of the baby at this time just rolls over, his brain easily perceives all the surrounding information and remembers it, making the child well-trained. Therefore, it is so important to give children to different circles and sections, or to make something beautiful with them with their own hands. Crafts, drawings, design - all this can be done at home, which will only strengthen your relationship. So let us remember for yourself how to make a hedgehog out of cones, and teach this to your child.

First stage. Materials and blanks

Если вы хотите, чтобы поделки ваших детей survived for the longest possible time, you should choose the highest quality materials. So, in order to make our hedgehog out of a cone strong, we choose good clay (we need only 1 beige slice and a small piece of black color) and a strong cone. Now you can and begin to mastery. It will be much better if you do not just watch from the side or direct the child’s actions directly, but sit at the same table with him and slowly, at the same pace with your child, sculpt the second Hedgehog from Pine Clay. So your son or daughter will follow you through all the steps of making crafts and learn faster. So, first we will make all the blanks and arrange them in one tray. Our pine cone hedgehog will have a head, 4 legs, 2 ears, eyes and a nose. To do this, we will need 1 large beige plasticine (diameter depends on the size of the cones), 4 medium ones (they will need to be slightly stretched to a cylindrical shape) and 2 small balls, respectively, and black one - about 0.5-1 cm in diameter and 2 tiny. And in order to make our hedgehog out of the bump even more lovely, we also take a rouge, a thin brush and a drinking tube.

Second phase. Creating the main parts

So first on the sharp end of the bump she ispreviously attached to the branch, for the manufacture of the head we stick the first ball of beige clay. Then we gently begin to smear it toward the base, so that it acquires the shape of a pyramid.

It is not worth making it elongated, because muchA nicer hedgehog from a bump is obtained if his muzzle is short. Now we take the cylindrical blanks for the legs and fasten them to the lower part of the base parallel to each other. And at their ends with a knife for plasticine you need to make 2 notches, as if dividing the fingers. You can make the front legs a little smaller than the hind legs so that our hedgehog of pine cones is more stable. Now we attach 2 smallest beige balls to the head and make small impressions on their front side. To do this, you can use the reverse side of the brush for drawing. Also on the face fasten the nose, slightly smearing it, and eyes. They, by the way, can be made of small beads or black beads. The bulk of the work is over! Getting to the decor and coloring.

The final stage

At one end of the drinking tube cut outwedge and, placing it under the nose of our hedgehog, lightly press, so that we end up with a smiling mouth shape. Now we take a brush, grab it with blush and apply them with a thin layer on the ears and cheeks of the toy. Excess should be carefully blown off. So, we proceed to the final stage - fixing the result. To do this, we leave our hedgehog in the fridge for the night, the clay will harden there and will no longer be so easy to melt in your hands. Of course, it will not be possible to play with him anyway, but your child will definitely be able to put on the shelf, show friends or a teacher, for which he will clearly receive a deserved top five!

Additions

Optionally, you can also make plasticinevarious fruits and mushrooms and attach them to the back of the hedgehog. Or you can create a whole clay meadow. To do this, we take an arbitrary shape of a piece of green cardboard and stick our hedgehog on it. Now we make grass, stems and sheets of flowers from plasticine of the same color, and make a small stream from blue. At the other end of the meadow we make a certain elevation in which mushrooms from acorns and a tree can be fastened from several small oak branches with leaves. Here our hedgehog from cones perfectly fit into such a landscape! A master class on the creation of this craft can be held with neighbors children, friends of your child. And next time, leave them to the company for the independent production of hedgehogs, this will help consolidate the acquired skill.

Other crafts from cones and clay

Cones are almost universal basis forsets of crafts in the form of animals and fictional men. So, for example, in addition to the hedgehog, you can make a charming owl or a high-speed skier from it. For the first crafts, we only need to glue eyes, legs, wings and beak from colored clay or from small pieces of felt to the lump.

А если прикрепить к ней небольшой отрезок тонкой satin ribbons, you get a wonderful Christmas tree toy. Or there is another option: to glue such an owl with its paws on a small piece of branch or even to sit it on an existing tree in a pot. So you can easily decorate your home garden.

Skier

And to make a funny skier out of the bumps,You will need a white plasticine ball, a piece of cloth for making scarves and hats, ready-made eyes for toys (sold in the departments of sewing accessories), a piece of wire, two toothpicks, two sticks from popsicle ice cream and glitter. To begin with, we place the ball on the top of the branched end of the cone and fasten the eyes and the cap on it. You can also sculpt his mouth from red clay or paint it with a brush. Then we tie it up with a scarf, putting the ends back a little to create the illusion of a trip along the mountainside. We make hands of wire and solemnly hand him ski poles of toothpicks, and glue ice cream sticks to the bottom surface of the bump, these will be our skis. Sprinkle with sequins, and you're done!
