1. Create a favorable atmosphere for communication between children who are passionate about a common cause.
2. Teach preschoolers to organize leisure time.

The goal of the project: the development of children's creative abilities and speech through the use of testoplasty technology.

Project objectives:

1. Introduce children to folk art, introduce children to the history of testoplasty and kneading dough.
2. To form a sustainable interest in artistic activity.
3. Develop creativity, aesthetic taste, imagination, memory, attention, thinking, fine motor skills, coordination and tactile sensations of the hands.

Project participants: children, teacher.

Project type: long-term. Project implementation period: October - April

Expected result : development of independence, initiative, creative abilities of children, mastery of skills in working with salt dough - modeling from life, according to the idea, modeling a sculpture from 2-3 objects, expressiveness of the image, proportions, sculpting methods (flattening and pinching, joining edges dough, pulling and pressing, smoothing and pressing, smearing and rolling).

Project implementation:

1. Preliminary stage (September).

Children get acquainted with testoplasty as a type of folk applied art, its features, tools necessary for work, and the simplest techniques for working with dough.

Creative workshops begin with a conversation about the history of testoplasty with kneading dough with preschoolers.

Children work with the dough: knead, sniff, roll into balls, etc. Next, it is proposed to make imprints on the surface of the dough using stacks, buttons, corks and more. And how interesting it is to paint it and simply mix different colors.

Next, preschoolers work with three-dimensional shapes - bun, sausage, flatbread.

2. Main stage (October-March).

Objectives of the main stage: introduce children to the testoplasty technique (modeling techniques), learn to create various subject and simple plot compositions, and develop creative abilities.

Preschoolers have already mastered modeling, we suggest working with a cupcake mold, an egg and making a “Cake”, “Easter Egg”.

In the future, the task becomes more complicated - sticking to various volumetric shapes, for example, “Decorating an egg.” Experimenting with buttons, beads, beads, ribbons and ribbons.

3. Final stage (April).

Project presentation form: exhibition of children's works and collective story compositions.

USING TESTOPLASTY TECHNIQUES AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Goal: To present the possibilities of testoplasty as a means of development of preschool children

Tasks:

1. Introduce master class participants to testoplasty techniques.
2. Show a system for working with dough as a material for children’s creative activities.

Equipment: salted dough, blank for making the “Chicken” craft, material for decorating the craft.

Progress of the master class

An important role in creating a modern educational environment today is played by innovative technologies aimed at developing the interests of children with special educational needs, based on the principle of fantasy in play activities.

Dough modeling is as natural and organic a child's need as play. Testoplasty is one of the most fascinating types of decorative and applied art.

Making dough from flour, salt and water is an ancient custom and was used to make figures from folk tales. In Rus', figurines made from this material were given as gifts for the New Year as a sign of prosperity, fertility, and satiety. And they were decorated with paintings characteristic of the area where our ancestors lived. It was believed that any craft made from salt dough found in the house is a symbol of wealth and prosperity in the family, and bread and salt will always be on the table. That is why these figures were often called very simply - “Hospitable Man”.

The dough has a number of advantages:

• The material is environmentally friendly, non-allergenic.

• Surprisingly flexible material.

• Crafts made from salt dough are more durable and can be used in games.

• Crafts can be painted in different colors.

Difficulties may arise when working with the test:

1. You need to learn how to knead the dough. It’s a mistake when we take a lot of flour, it’s better to use less and knead well. Dough recipe: 1 glass of water, 1 glass of fine salt, flour.
2. It is necessary to take into account thematic planning when developing a circle program.

There are no limits to your imagination when working with the test!!! The process of work is the joy of learning. The child brings his sincere interest, surprise or admiration into his work; he not only reflects the world, but also gets to know it. The educational and educational value of modeling is great, especially in terms of mental and aesthetic work. Working with dough allows you to solve a variety of problems and is aimed at:

1. development of the sphere of images and representations;
2. formation of mental activity: stimulation of mental activity, formation of mental operations, development of visual forms of thinking (visual-effective and visual-figurative), concrete-conceptual (verbal-logical);
3. development of spatial gnosis and constructive praxis;
4. formation of spatio-temporal representations;
5. development of mental abilities through mastering the actions of substitution and visual modeling in various types of activities;
6. development of hand-eye coordination, stimulation of reflex zones and nerve endings of the palms and fingers;
7. activation of the formation of connections between the hemispheres of the brain;
8. development of creative abilities.

In addition, special tasks of development and correction of deficiencies in the emotional-volitional sphere and the emerging personality are also solved, which implies:

1. development and training of mechanisms that ensure the child’s adaptation to new social conditions;
2. prevention and elimination of occurring affective, negativistic, autistic manifestations, and other behavioral deviations;
3. development of social emotions;
4. creating conditions for the development of self-awareness and self-esteem;
5. formation of the ability for volitional efforts, voluntary regulation of behavior;
6. preventing and overcoming negative personality traits and developing character.

The use of testoplasty is indispensable for the prevention of severe emotional disorders, undeveloped communicative competence, with the aim of developing play activity, developing play motives and interest in the game in a child. Testoplasty provides a child with ample opportunities to react emotionally in a socially acceptable way.

During joint activities with a child, the use of testoplasty techniques makes it possible to consolidate color, quantity, shape, ordinal and backward counting, as well as expand and clarify knowledge about the world around us, using riddles, poems, proverbs and sayings.

Testoplasty helps to activate vocabulary, update existing ideas about sensory standards of color, shape, size; strengthening ideas about seasonal changes in nature. Even restless children during the testoplasty process show such a long concentration of attention on one type of activity, which is unusual for them.

There are practically no children who would refuse to experiment with the dough, leaving imprints on it with various objects, play with molds and stacks, or make something of their own choosing.

In correctional and developmental work, you can use various didactic games and play exercises, the material for which will be dough products. For example, in the didactic game “The Fourth Extra”, you can ask children to find an extra figure made from dough (the child must highlight the difference - by color, shape, size). You can invite children to independently make all the figures the same by changing the sign of inconsistency.

In the game “Find out by touch,” we invite children to recognize a given object by touch (this can be fruits, vegetables, toys made from colored dough by the child himself). In addition, testoplasty opens up wide opportunities for the development of elementary mathematical concepts in preschoolers.

Children can make their own material from dough to develop counting skills and operations. It is possible to consolidate and update such mathematical concepts as “one-many”, “more-less”, “equally”, “long-short”, “wide-narrow”, “big-small”, etc. All objects with which the child acts and which are created by him as a result of productive activity serve as a visual support for speech and thinking exercises. Moreover, in this case, clarity is represented by volumetric objects, and not by illustrative material.

Working with a test is a kind of exercise that helps in the development of fine differentiated movements, coordination, and tactile sensations necessary for children with disabilities to work. Productive activity acts as a specific imaginative means of understanding reality, and therefore is of great importance for the mental development of children. In turn, the mental education of a child is closely related to the development of speech.

Testoplasty is an opportunity to use available material:

• Spaghetti (hedgehog spines)
• Colored macaroni and vermicelli (cake decoration)
• Cereals (we laid out a fur coat for a bear made from buckwheat)
• Peppercorns (nose, eyes)
• Garlic press (hairstyles)
• Stacks (draw)
• Buttons (make a relief surface)

This is how, through play, based on a common passion, testoplasty helps children develop, and teachers help solve assigned correctional and educational tasks.

I start each club session with a warm-up:

• Shifting and squeezing the dough in your palms;
• Rolling a kolobok in your palms;
• Pressing on the bun produces a flat cake;
• The “mice” came and began to dig holes;
• The “geese” came and began to pinch the dough;
• The “toed bear” came and began to stomp on the dough;
• Rolling the flatbread into a sausage;
• Wrap the sausage in a “snail”;
• The “snail” hid in the house - it turned out to be a bun.

After warming up, we move on to making crafts. I suggest making an Easter chicken (the idea for the craft was taken from the website https://yasno-solnishko.ru).

To begin, we will knead salt dough from 2 tbsp. flour, 1 tbsp. fine salt and half a glass of water. Add yellow gouache.

1. Then we roll out the dough into a layer about 0.5 cm thick and squeeze out an oval with a mold. We will take a plastic cup as a mold and lightly press it on the sides to make an oval.

1. Separate the oval from the rest of the dough and smooth its edges with a finger slightly moistened with water. This is the body of a chicken.
2. For the wings, we make small ovals, roll them out thinly, lightly moisten them with water and glue them to the chicken. Using a toothpick, draw feather stripes on the wings.
3. Roll small balls for the eyes and a square for the beak.
4. For the legs we make small ovals and roll them out using gouache.
5. We will make holes in the workpiece - one at the top for hanging the egg and two at the bottom for attaching the legs. We will also make holes in the legs for attaching to the chicken.

1. Then we dried everything in the oven at low temperature.
2. Once the dough has cooled, we will paint the details.
3. Insert ribbons into the holes.

Well, our Easter chicken made from salt dough is ready. You can use it to decorate your room or as a gift.

Testoplasty acts as a means of understanding reality, is of great importance for the mental development of children, and helps maintain positive motivation and cognitive activity of children with psychophysical disorders. Thus, the possibilities of testoplasty in correctional and developmental work are limitless.

Create simple crafts based on pressing objects into dough

Let me give you a few examples:

• Hedgehog

For the little ones, toothpicks can be replaced with matches or counting sticks.

• Fence for animals

• little man

Be sure to involve your child in rolling out the torso and head. If your baby is not doing well yet, take his hands in yours and make rotational movements together.

Hiding surprises in the dough and finding them

This is our favorite game. I think all children love it when there is a surprise moment in the game. They are ready to open intricate locks, unscrew stubborn lids, just to see what is hidden behind them. Children are happy to find surprises, even if they hid them themselves!

Therefore, in this lesson, first, together with the baby, we hide the toy in the dough, placing it on one half of the cake and covering the other. Older kids can be asked to pinch the edges, as when sculpting a pie. Mom can do this for younger children. Well, then we ask ourselves the question “Where is our hedgehog?” or “Oh, who’s hiding here?” Perhaps during the first games the baby will have to be shown how to “get to” the toy. Most likely, the baby will catch everything very quickly and will subsequently eagerly pick apart the dough himself.

Even such a seemingly simple activity is incredibly useful for children’s fingers.

Press various objects into the dough

Next, you can announce that the resulting flatbread is not just a flatbread, but a pizza or a cake that now needs to be decorated. And for this purpose you can use a variety of objects: matches, pasta, beans, counting sticks, small toys, lids, etc. Try to use objects of different shapes and sizes to diversify the child’s tactile sensations.

Games with dough

So, you have the dough, what to do with it next? First of all, of course, you need to introduce the baby to the test. Give him the opportunity to touch and knead him. You can make some kind of bun or bunny to show what the dough is capable of. If the acquaintance went well, you can move on to games.

Remember that the entire lesson should not last longer than 5-10 minutes. Do not try to include all the games in one lesson, watch your baby and always stop before he gets tired of the activity. If your baby is losing interest in a particular game, it may be too easy or too difficult for him. Try to simplify or make the task easier.

Testoplasty is a means of developing fine motor skills in preschool children.

Author: Sanarova Svetlana Gennadievana

Testoplasty is a means of developing fine motor skills in preschool children.

The importance of developing fine motor skills cannot be underestimated. Fine motor skills are motor activities that are caused by the coordinated work of the small muscles of the hand and eye. The development of fine motor skills is the development of fine movements of the hands and fingers. The movements of a person’s hand, as I. N. Sechenov wrote, are not hereditarily predetermined and are formed in the process of education and training, as a result of associative connections that arise during the work of the visual, auditory and speech motor analyzers, muscles of the hand and eye. The level of development of fine motor skills is one of the indicators of intellectual readiness for school education. Children's ability to understand surrounding objects is largely related to the development of hand actions.

The centers of speech and finger movement in the human brain are nearby. And hand movements occupy a third of the entire motor projection of the cerebral cortex. That is why scientists have concluded that speech and hand motor skills are directly related. It is believed that the more developed the fine motor skills of the hands, the more developed the child’s speech apparatus. The development of fine motor skills is also important because the child’s entire future life will require the use of precise, coordinated movements of the hands and fingers, which are necessary to dress, draw, write, and also perform many different household, educational and work activities.

A high level of development of fine motor skills indicates the functional maturity of the cerebral cortex and the child’s psychological readiness for school. In preschool age, the main work on the development of fine motor skills is carried out through games and play exercises. In the process of games and exercises for the development of fine motor skills, children develop memory, attention, auditory and visual perception, perseverance is cultivated, and play and educational and practical activities are formed. Games and exercises for the development of fine motor skills have a stimulating effect on speech development. They are a powerful means of maintaining the tone and performance of the cerebral cortex.

One of the most important types of development of fine motor skills is artistic activity. Classes using various visual techniques harmoniously develop a child’s fine motor skills, cognitive functions, attention, thinking, imagination, and observation. By choosing non-traditional techniques or using non-traditional materials for work, it is easy to interest the child, and therefore get a better result from the work done. One of the most entertaining types of artistic activity is modeling.

Modeling is the process of creating a sculptural work associated with working on a soft plastic material: wet clay, plasticine, wax, dough, by giving it shape using hands and auxiliary tools - stacks, etc. The modeling technique is rich and varied, but at the same time accessible even to small children. The main tool in sculpting is the hands, therefore, the level of skill depends on using one’s own hands, and not a brush, pencil or scissors. From this point of view, the modeling technique can be assessed as the most accessible for self-learning. Trying to convey the shape as accurately as possible, the child actively works with his fingers, trying to use all ten fingers, which undoubtedly has a positive effect on the result.

Modeling, as an activity, to a greater extent than drawing or applique, leads children to the ability to navigate, model the world and their idea of ​​it in space, and master a number of mathematical concepts. Children directly compare parts of objects with each other, determine their sizes (length, thickness), which in drawing is done only visually.

Using the example of the work of the “Magic Workshop” circle, we can conclude that for working with preschool children, it is preferable to use salt dough. This material has a number of advantages over other materials. All ingredients are available, so you can make the dough at any time and start creating your work. The salt dough contains only food products: flour, salt, water, vegetable oil, food coloring. Therefore, salted dough is environmentally friendly and can be recommended for creative crafts with young children, who can taste the modeling material. If the manufacturing technology is followed, the dough does not stick to your hands, is easy to wash and does not leave marks. Unlike other materials, it is more plastic and pleasant to the touch. A distinctive feature when working with salt dough is that modeling can be combined with drawing, painting the finished product with any colors. And the ability to add food coloring at the stage of dough production allows you to create a material with a wide color palette. Products can be dried in various ways: in the oven at a temperature of about 100 degrees, on a radiator or in air. If finished salt dough products are varnished, they are quite durable.

The “Magic Workshop” circle worked for three years. Diagnostics at the end of the study group showed that the children had achieved good development of fine motor skills, which not only had a beneficial effect on the development of speech, but also prepared them for drawing and writing. The hands have acquired good mobility and flexibility, and the stiffness of movements has disappeared. When learning grapho-motor skills, children demonstrated good pressure, «

confident
"
lines. Children's mental processes became more active: attention, memory, thinking, imagination; vocabulary expanded. The children began to show initiative. They developed self-confidence, the ability to exert volition in various types of activities and the ability to complete the work they started. These characteristics correspond to the target guidelines of the federal state educational standards for preschool education.

My work experience allows me to conclude that modeling from salt dough has a positive effect on the dynamics of the development of fine motor skills of the fingers.

Leave fingerprints on the test

We press the toy into the dough, carefully remove it and ale-op, you get a beautiful pattern on the dough! Taisiya was simply delighted with this activity, and could get carried away for a long time, imprinting pasta on the dough.

Figurines from a sorter, pasta tubes, small toys, construction set parts, a fork, and a comb are well suited for imprinting . Well, if according to the test, a car passes by, leaving marks (preferably with large wheels and treads on them), then the baby will most likely appreciate it.

And, of course, it’s worth mentioning the cookie cutters separately. With their help you can not only make beautiful prints. With older kids, you can try removing the “extra” dough around the molds so that you get “cookies”.

Prints can also be made simply with your finger. After which it will be very interesting to “sow” seeds into the resulting holes. This will be another great exercise for developing a “pincer” grip.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin

The baby will most likely be happy to start rolling out the dough, because he has seen his mother do it more than once. If your baby is having trouble using a rolling pin, help him by clasping his hands with yours.

Both a toy and a real kitchen rolling pin are suitable for the game. My daughter likes rolling with a large rolling pin even more.

Recipe for very flexible dough

And another recipe for a very, very soft, plastic, homogeneous and, I would even say, ideal dough! :) It is not suitable for drying and painting, but for fun games with dough it is perfect.

1 cup flour

1 glass of water

¼ cup salt

1 tbsp. vegetable oil

2 tsp citric acid

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, stir, then place over medium heat. After this, we begin to actively stir the dough with a spoon until it forms a ball and stops sticking to your hands. You will need to stir for no more than 3 minutes. After the dough has cooled, you can start playing with it.

Don't neglect such a seemingly insignificant ingredient as citric acid! If you do not add it, then after storing in the refrigerator the dough will begin to stick to your hands.

You can add food coloring to any version of the dough. If you don’t have a dye to tint the dough, you can use beet or carrot juice, turmeric, brilliant green, and gouache. Well, if you divide the dough into several parts and paint them in different colors, it will be even more interesting!

Both doughs can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed container for quite a long time (several weeks).
