In this article we will tell you about how to mold a beautiful bird from plasticine with your own hands. You will need different color sculpting clay, a sculpting surface, stacks and patience.
The simplest plasticine bird
If you are sculpting with a child or have never taken plasticine in your hands, then it is better to start with simple models:
- Take the mass for modeling blue, yellow and white. First, form two balls from the blue mass. Blind the head from one, and form the body from the other.
- Stick the head to the body.
- Seal the seams.
- Then roll one small ball and two large ones from the yellow mass.
- Form an elongated beak from a small ball, and drop-shaped wings from large ones.
- From a white piece of plasticine, also roll two small balls. Flatten them and make eyes by sticking them to the head.
- Form the pupils from the blue or black mass.
- Glue the beak to the head and wings to the body of the bird.
Ready! Now you know how to mold a plasticine bird.
More complex model
If you are no longer a beginner in modeling, then you can try your hand at creating more complex crafts.
Prepare plasticine in black, orange, blue, red, yellow, orange, brown and green. And now let's start sculpting:
- First, from the black mass, form the torso with the head.
- Then blind the beak and breast from the yellow mass.
- Attach the beak to the head.
- Please note that the breast should be thin. Gently stick it to the body under the beak.
- From blue and black plasticine, make the eyes of a bird.
- From yellow, blind two thin short sausages and stick them over the eyes.
- Decorate the beak with blue, red, green and orange plasticine as shown in the photo in the article. And from black plasticine, make thin black sausages and also stick them on the beak.
- To make the legs, roll six orange balls. Form a droplet from each, and then connect them together in threes. Got legs!
- Stick them to the body of the plasticine bird.
We seat the bird on a branch
Now we need to make a twig and leaves. To do this, take a brown mass and roll a sausage out of it. With a stack, make a texture on it that resembles the bark of a tree. From green plasticine, you need three or four balls, which need to be shaped into droplets and then flattened. Draw veins on the leaves with a stack. Stick the leaves to the branch, and the bird itself to the leaves. Ready!
We sculpt birds from plasticine: panels
If you want to create or another mass for modeling, then you first need to find a suitable base. For such work, cardboard, glass or canvas on cardboard is suitable. If you are using glass, then first make a drawing on paper, and then put it under the glass. So you can more accurately lay out the picture.
Let's get started:
- Make a blue background first. You can immediately fashion clouds from white plasticine.
- Then roll up a lot of thin sausages from the green mass for modeling, from which lay the grass. Blind reeds from brown plasticine. If desired, you can also blind the river from the blue mass.
After that, proceed to create the bird itself from plasticine:
- Take a light gray mass for modeling and roll it into a thin layer. With a stack or knife, cut out the body of a heron without legs and a beak from it.
- Stick the body to the panel.
- Then, from orange plasticine, blind the legs and beak. With a stack, make the skin texture on the legs and the mouth on the beak.
- From black, blue, white and light gray plasticine, roll up many small balls. Flatten each ball then. From the resulting parts you will get excellent feathers. And from the black mass for modeling, make a crest and an eye.
If you wish, you can use not only plasticine for modeling, but also polymer clay, mastic, salt dough, self-hardening mass.
- Firebird:
- a parrot:
- owl or owl:
- chicken or cockerel:
- penguin:
- beige (for the eye and for the breast);
- black (for pupils);
- brown (for body and wings);
- light brown (for eyebrows and paws);
- mustard (for the beak).
Let's make such a cute bird:
1) First, we form the body of the bird - we make a regular ball and give it a slightly oval shape.
2) For the head, roll up a smaller ball and attach it to the body. It should look something like this:
3) The tail can be made of plasticine in a contrasting color or the same. To do this, roll out plasticine, form a triangle and draw hairs on it:
4) Wings: we also make triangles, smoothing a little, draw hairs, attach to the body.
5) Complete the image of the legs, beak and eyes.
Now our bird can be planted in a nest or on a branch. Everything, the craft is ready.
I propose to mold such a bird from plasticine:
To work, you will need plasticine in black, white, red, black, gray, brown.
from black and red plasticine we make the following blanks:
connect them, and attach the ball on top.
now you need to smooth everything:
from black gray and white plasticine we make wings:
wings must be attached to the body:
the paws of the bullfinch will be made of brown plasticine:
from black and gray plasticine we sculpt a tail:
now we make a beak and eyes:
our bird is ready:
Blind a bird out of plasticine even with a small child.
However, the complexity of this task depends on the number of various details.
For example, birds - cartoon characters of Angry Birds are generally easy to sculpt, since their body, together with their head, is either a ball. or some other simple form.
More complex birds must be sculpted from plasticine from separate parts, while it is highly desirable to maintain the correct proportions.
When sculpting individual parts, to make them neat and clear, you can use stacks, manicure tools, toothpicks.
A selection of step-by-step photo schemes for sculpting birds from plasticine will help you and your child cope with this task perfectly!

So, how to mold a plasticine parrot? Our simple step-by-step instructions will help with this.
PHOTO step by step. How to mold a parrot
Let's start modeling a cartoon parrot by making its head, for which we take pink plasticine and give it a round shape. Then, from the yellow mass for modeling, we will make two halves of the bird's beak, giving them the appropriate shape. We attach the beak in the middle of the head, and on both sides of it we place large oval white eyes with yellow pupils and black "crystals".
From the blue or green mass for modeling, we will make a crest of a parrot. To do this, we will fashion several thin sausages of small length and sharpen one of their edges, and then attach them to the top of the head in the shape of a palm tree.
We blind the body of the cartoon bird from purple plasticine, giving it an oval shape. After that, we attach the white plumage of the parrot to the top of the body, for which we form a flat rectangular strip of white plasticine, and then tear one of its edges with a plastic stack. We attach the body to the head, not forgetting to strengthen the connection with a match or a toothpick.
After that, using a stack on the lower blue part of the wings, we form feathers, the tips of which we decorate with small black “feathers”.
Attach the wings to the body.
For the stability of the craft, the legs of the parrot will be attached to the body with the help of halves of toothpicks or matches. To do this, we make two small ovals from purple plasticine, pierce them with a toothpick and fasten them to the lower part of the body, not forgetting to leave a little toothpick to attach the lower leg.
We make the lower part of the legs from yellow plasticine with three outstretched fingers looking in different directions.
It remains only to make a tail for a parrot, which will consist of three green "feathers" with purple tips.
In addition, if desired, for a red plasticine parrot, you can fashion a radio telephone model and insert it into one of the bird's hands, making the craft even more original.
That's all. Now you know how to make a plasticine parrot, and you can make such a craft yourself or with your baby easily and quickly.

Plasticine is an ideal material with which young children can realize their most fabulous fantasies. In addition, the malleable and plastic mass serves as an excellent simulator for the development of fine motor skills of children's fingers.
Children often embody their dreams of flying in drawings of birds, but you can’t really play with a drawn bird or an airplane. There is a way out - help your young sculptor and show how to mold a bird out of plasticine, which can be played with.
Performing a plasticine bird craft without special skills so that it is a copy of a real feathered one is a rather difficult task even for parents. To begin with, it is worth trying modeling a cartoon bird from plasticine, which does not have plumage and other characteristic features, which, unfortunately, are difficult to imitate.
So, we sculpt a funny bird from plasticine! First, soften the mass for modeling a little. Roll up the feathered body from blue plasticine. Decorate his breast with a white spot, tightly pressing the ball rolled into a round layer. Now start sculpting small details: separate the pink beak with a knife, decorate the spherical eyes of white plasticine with black pupil balls, make two notches imitating marigolds on the slightly flattened ball paws. Decorate droplet wings made of purple plasticine with two thin stripes of a contrasting color - these will be feathers. Put a big red scallop on the bird's head - the bird is ready!
Before giving the bird to the baby to play, place it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes so that the plasticine hardens.
Now you know how to make a plasticine bird in a few minutes. Believe me, a little dreamer will definitely appreciate his mother's efforts and will experiment with plasticine more than once. And someday it will surely surprise you with a masterpiece!
