How to make a frog from plasticine
Plasticine is an amazing material that allows you to develop not only creativity and imagination, but also fine motor skills. You can make a frog from plasticine using a master class, where everything is described step by step and is understandable even for children. Follow the instructions exactly or apply your own ideas - everyone decides for themselves.
A simple do-it-yourself plasticine frog
Any child can make a frog from plasticine with their own hands in the simplest way. Just 8 main parts, 5 additional ones and the little toad will be ready. The child can complete large parts independently, and one of the adults will help him with small ones.
Sculpting process:
- Roll 2 balls from the green material - one larger than the other. Connect them together - this will be the torso and head.
- Make two identical small balls and attach them to the top of the head. Thin white plasticine circles are glued on top of them. Pupils of blue or another color are sculpted on them.
- The mouth and nose are cut using stacks or toothpicks. Attach a tongue made of red plasticine.
- Roll out two green bars. Flatten on one side, giving the shape of fins. The legs are bent and fixed on the frog's body.
- For the front legs, the blanks are made thinner and shorter. The lower part is made flattened. Cut out 3 toes on each foot, making membranes using a toothpick. Attach the legs to the body.
Frog princess made of plasticine
To get your child interested in modeling, you can make a frog princess from plasticine. To do this, first make the frog itself and add just a couple of additional details - a crown and an arrow:
- Roll the green mass into a roll and cut it into 3 pieces - 1 small and 2 larger.
- Prepare a blank for the head. One of the large pieces is rolled and flattened, giving it an oval shape.
- Roll the second large piece into a ball. Stick a toothpick or match into it and connect it to the head blank.
- From the last piece, four sausage-shaped legs are created. Bend them in half and connect them to the base.
- 2 small flat cakes are connected to the paws. 2 slightly larger cakes are attached to the body in the abdominal area.
- Make 2 balls from the remaining piece and attach them to the top of the head.
- On the base for the eyes, fix 2 white circles and stick black pupils on them.
- A stack is used to cut through the frog's mouth. Roll small balls from pale green plasticine. Slightly flattening them, place them on the head and body. The same details indicate the nostrils of a frog.
- The abdomen is made from light green material and attached to the body.
- Using the stacks, cut fingers at the edges of the foot cakes. White mini-highlights are placed on the pupils.
- To make a crown for the princess, you will need yellow or light orange plasticine. Make a sausage and roll it into thin strips. Sharp teeth cut along the edge of the stack.
- Cut a part from the jagged strip so that it has 5 teeth. They fold it into a crown, which is placed on the frog's head. The sharp ends are slightly twisted in different directions.
- A small tongue is created from a piece of red plasticine and glued to the line of the mouth.
- The arrow is molded from plasticine in brown, yellow and white colors.
Frog made of light plasticine
Making a frog from light plasticine is easy step by step. For example, you can create the heroine of the cartoon “Frog Traveler”. Parts made of this material hold their shape well, and the mass does not stick to your hands.
Important! This material is afraid of moisture, both during the work process and in finished crafts.
- Take a small piece of green mass. They give it the shape of a head with chubby cheeks. Particular attention is paid to the mouth - making it slightly pointed. Designate slightly raised areas for the eyes.
- Roll out yellow plasticine and frame the lower part of the head. A thin strip marks the opening of the mouth.
- The eyes are made from the white mass. To make them look funny and cheerful, the pupils are sculpted in different shapes, blue with black splashes.
- To save material, you can use foil for the frog’s body, which is crumpled into a pear-shaped shape and covered with a thin layer of green mass. To highlight the frog's abdomen, the front part is covered with a yellow mass.
- The bases for the frog's legs are made in the form of rounded blocks of the required size.
- The fingers and toes of the frog are squeezed out with a stack. Give them the necessary bends. Add a yellow mass to the middle of the palms.
- Connect all the parts together. For a strong attachment, the head is “set” on a match or toothpick.
- Smooth out roughness and unevenness. Add dark green splashes to the arms and legs of the frog.
Craft with a frog made of plasticine
To captivate your child, you can make together with him not only one frog from plasticine, but an entire craft. A step-by-step analysis will help you understand how to sculpt reeds using toothpicks. How to make a pond and a water lily leaf on it:
- To create a reed, you will need toothpicks, brown and green plasticine. The bottom is wrapped in green plasticine, the top in brown. Leaves are sculpted separately. Everything is connected and fixed to the surface.
- To make a water lily leaf, roll out the green mass and flatten it into an oval with your fingers. Using a stack or a knife, draw veins and make a cut in the bottom of the sheet.
- Cut out a circle or any shape large enough from cardboard to accommodate the wah and additional accessories.
- The cardboard is coated with a thin green layer.
- On top of the green layer, pieces of blue and light blue material are laid out and smeared in a chaotic manner.
- Reeds are placed at the edges.
- A water lily leaf is placed a little away from the center, on which the main character is planted.

Parental help
Do not forget that you should not leave your baby alone near plasticine. At this age, children taste everything. Plasticine is very toxic. If it enters the body, you should consult a doctor. Adults should show the child how to make a frog from plasticine. At first, the baby will watch with emotion how a shapeless lump of plasticine turns into a flower or leaf. And then he will want to join in the modeling himself.
It is important to constantly talk with the child during the modeling process. You need to explain to your child what you are doing and why. This method will help to bring the child morally closer to his parents. At this moment, you can observe his emotions or reasoning. The more time parents devote to their child, the more attached the baby becomes to them.
Development of fine motor skills
When palpating plasticine, children develop fine motor skills. 1/3 of the area of the motor projection of the brain is occupied by the projection of the hands. It is located very close to the speech zone. That is why the ideal development of a baby’s speech is inextricably linked with the development of fine motor skills. The more parents spend time with their children, playing exciting games or modeling with plasticine, the more developed their child will be. The frog princess made of plasticine will be an excellent reason to start developing fine motor skills.
At one and a half years old, children are able to do:
1. Plucking plasticine.
2. Flattening.
3. Kneading, rolling.
4. Spreading glue on cardboard.
5. Working with the stack.
The habitat of the frog
Marsh leaves and water lilies are the best habitat for the green frog.
1. Cut out a circle or oval from cardboard with a diameter of 8-12 centimeters. The surface is completely covered with a layer of blue plasticine. We've got a pond.
2. Roll a ball of smaller diameter from green plasticine. Flatten it into an oval cake. Place it on the blue pond and use a plastic knife to make 5 small veins. We have a water lily leaf.
3. To create the water lily itself, we will need white and yellow plasticine. Roll 5-7 small white balls and 1 yellow circle, which is placed in the center. We flatten the resulting flower and lift the petals up.
The habitat of the green frog is ready.
Preparing for work
Making a frog from plasticine with your own hands is very simple. To do this, you will need a box of colored plasticine and a plastic knife, which most likely comes with the plasticine. For decoration you can use beads, sparkles, ribbons, pieces of material, cardboard, colored paper, and stationery glue.
It is necessary to sculpt on a flat surface. You can use a table, bedside table, chest of drawers. The place should be well lit so that there is no strain on the eyes. It is best to do sculpting in the morning or afternoon. If this is not possible, then put an additional table lamp on the table or turn on a sconce. The surface is covered with oilcloth so that lumps of plasticine do not stick to the wooden surface of the furniture. A special plastic board is placed under the figurine.
A plasticine frog is made in several ways. Let's look at the most popular ones.
Children's rich imagination
In this master class we will learn how to make a frog from plasticine quickly and efficiently. Every mother at least once read a fairy tale to her child in which the main character was the heroine of this article. There are many examples: “Thumbelina”, “The Princess and the Frog”, “The Frog Traveler”, “The Frog in the Mirror”, “The Frog Princess”, “The Croak and the Toad”, “The Stubborn Frog”, “How the Little Frog Was Looking for Dad”, “ Zhab Zhabych Skovorodkin.”
Children have great imagination. From infancy, a child is able to perceive words and imagine what a particular animal from a story or fairy tale looks like. When the baby turns one and a half years old, you can safely begin exciting activities with plasticine. At this young age, the child is able to master simple actions with this material. A plasticine frog is a great start to modeling.
