The basis of this craft is white plasticine. For some additional details, you will also need red and blue plasticine mass.
STEP 1.
Roll out a white rope 6 cm long and 0.5 cm in diameter. To form a swan neck, it is necessary to give the tourniquet a curved shape. Press one end of the workpiece with two fingers to emphasize the swan's head. Next, draw out the same part of the blank for making the beak. From the blue plasticine mass, make two eyes and emphasize the beak with red plasticine. 
STEP 2.
Roll out a ball of white plasticine with a diameter of 4 cm, flatten it, and create a recess. The resulting blank will be the body of your future plasticine work. Do not forget to also form a ponytail and emphasize it with contrasting blue plasticine. 
STEP 3.
Thin bundles of white plasticine (there should be two bundles!) 3 cm long give the shape of swan wings. 
It is necessary to connect all prepared plasticine blanks. The white swan is ready!
How to mold animals from plasticine and teach a child to see the world alive and plastic, how to develop fine motor skills of hands, developing brain activity in children and many other interesting do-it-yourself activities for your attention!
In this master class, we will tell you how to mold one of the most beautiful and graceful birds in the world - a swan. The natural habitat of swans is lakes or swamps, with small islands on which they can settle. To date, you can see these birds in city parks. The child will be happy to take on the modeling of such a majestic bird as a swan. Moreover, in the process of its creation there is nothing complicated, which will allow the baby to complete all the steps of modeling on their own.
Materials and tools that you will need for work:
- plasticine white, orange, pink, green and black;
- spatula or knife;
- stack.
How to make a swan out of plasticine
Step 1. So, let's prepare a white block of plasticine. Let's knead it so that the mass becomes more pliable. Then cut the plasticine with a knife into four parts. 
From the largest piece we will create the body of a bird, and from the remaining three we will blind a pair of wings and a head with a neck. Then we connect all the created parts of the craft and supplement it with a beak and eyes.
Step 2. We give a large piece of mass a teardrop shape. We flatten it a little, and bend the sharp tip up. The main part of the swan is ready. 
Step 2 Next, create the long neck and head of the swan. We roll out a white ball, leaving a ball at the end into a thin sausage. 
Gently bend the neck, giving it a beautiful shape, and attach it to the wide base of the body. 
Step 3. From the remaining lumps of white plasticine, we form two flat wings. 
Glue them on the body of the bird. We wind the tips of the wings behind the back so that they are above the tail. 
Step 4. Now, using a spatula or a knife, draw feathers. We make several notches at the tip of the wings and tail. 
Next, we process the remaining sections of the wings, and the torso, scraping off the top layer of plasticine with the tip of the stack. 
On the neck you need to make the same texture, but less deep. 
And lastly, draw the feathers on the previously made notches.
Step 5. We proceed to the design of the muzzle. With a skewer we create holes for the eyes. We roll the balls from black plasticine and paste them into the created holes. We create a long beak from orange plasticine, fix it under the eyes and complement the top with a black sausage. We decorate the eyes of the swan with white highlights. 
Swans are majestic white birds of unearthly beauty that peacefully cut through the water and swim in ponds or streams. Very often, swans can be found in city parks and suburban reservoirs. Be sure to invite your child to mold a beautiful plasticine swan, and we will tell you how to do this in this article. Remember that plasticine creativity not only helps to focus the baby's attention on important information, but also develops the dexterity and fine motor skills of children's fingers. The feeling of direct participation in the creation of an unusual craft brings up in the child a stable sense of his own significance.
1. The main color of the plasticine that is required to create the bird is white; a black shade will also be used fragmentarily. To draw on the surface of plasticine, arm yourself with a plastic stack.
2. Knead half of the prepared white plasticine in your hands and roll up the ball.
3. Next, place the ball between two palms and roll it out a little, pressing down, to the state of an oval blank. On one side, grab a small piece of plasticine with your thumb and forefinger and pull out a small ponytail. Make the ponytail fluffy with a stack.
4. The swan bird has the shape of a two, this figure and the feathered one are even sometimes compared when they teach kids the basics of mathematics. To sculpt the head and thin neck of a bird, roll up a long sausage, bend it, and glue a ball-head on one side.
5. Add a red beak and make a black border around it. Two black dots will replace the eyes.
6. Attach the neck to the body, hiding the joint with your fingers.
7. Blinding the wings of a swan is also easy. Take the remaining white plasticine, divide it into two equal parts, flatten each of them to the state of a cake, giving it a triangular shape. Then separate each feather in a stack.
8. Attach the wings to the body by lifting them up. Now our swan is ready to fly.

Here is such a beautiful bird that grew out of an ugly duckling, we got it. You can create a whole collection of birds by drawing inspiration from our Birds section.
Today I will tell you how to make a plasticine swan with your own hands, or rather, to mold a master class in an easy step-by-step form with a photo and detailed instructions. As always, prepare a plastic knife, as well as three colors of plasticine, beige (or white, you can), black and red (small pieces) to create the eyes and beak.
The main thing you need to pay attention to is the wings, but it’s also worth taking a closer look at the competent bend of the neck. This craft takes about 10-25 minutes, depending on skills. I will describe each action in a short and understandable form.
Here is the material that was prepared.
Let's divide the craft into three parts: the creation of the torso, neck and wings. Let's start with the body. We roll the ball.
From the ball, make a barrel or a small oval. The body should be slightly oblong.
In the center of the workpiece we will make a notch. Press with your finger, so we get it.
Here is such a blank with a notch turned out.
Let's move on to the neck, roll up a long sausage.
Make a question mark.
Blind two black dots for the eyes and a red beak.
And also a thin black line needs to be rolled up.
This is how we make a mini swan face.
Side view.
We connect the neck and torso, lubricating the joints.
Roll up two identical balls for wings.
They need to be flattened into a cake, but the same size.
We make cuts on each wing, thereby highlighting the feathers.
We connect the wings to the body, carefully lubricate the joints.
This is how it turned out, I hope you will not have any difficulties.
print Thanks, great lesson +24
In this modeling lesson, we will create with you another representative of birds - a majestic white swan made of plasticine. Such birds can be white and black; here is shown a modeling of an animal with light plumage. But if you have a need or desire, then you can transfer all the knowledge gained to dark plasticine and get your own unique craft. Children of primary school age can master such work on their own, and kids - only under the guidance of adults.
Other bird lessons:Step by step photo lesson:
At the initial stage of work, select the necessary shades of plasticine: white - its amount should be maximum, because this is the main color for sculpting the figure, red and black - miniature fragments.
Divide the white mass into parts for sculpting the torso, head and neck, wings. You can plan the tail separately or later pull out a part of the plasticine from the soft body.
Form a ball from the largest piece.
Press the ball against a solid base and, pressing with your palm, pull it into an oval blank. Grasp one side with three fingers and pull it out in the form of a ponytail (or you can add plasticine additionally).
With the tip of a stack or the tip of a toothpick, make short notches on the tail, making out individual feathers.
Bend the neck into a figure 2. Stick a red beak on the muzzle and slightly bend it up. Make a black border and highlight with black the places where the eyes should be located.
Fasten the neck and body, leaving the shape of the figure similar to the number 2. A word of advice: if you use too soft plasticine, then the bird's neck will not hold its shape, but will deform under its own weight and the weight of the head. In this case, inside a thin sausage, initially mask a piece of strong wire, leave the lower end (at the base of the neck) free, and then simply insert it into the front of the body.
The rest of the white plasticine will be used to sculpt large swan wings. First, form two flat cakes in a triangular shape, but with rounded corners.
Apply random stripes to each wing, showing feathers.
Attach the wings to the figure by lifting them up.
The majestic beauty swan made of plasticine is ready. Such a figurine can simply become a decoration for a children's shelf of crafts or act as a gift for any holiday.
