|
|
|
Knead the dough, bringing it to a homogeneous consistency. |
|
|
Tear off a large piece of it so that the cast is clear and large. |
|
|
Apply the chilled dough (not cold, not ice cream) to your baby's foot or hand. You can make several casts for grandparents, or, if there are many children, for each child individually. |
|
|
Place the printed dough in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, then leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The freezer will hold the dough together so that the dough does not have time to deform, and the refrigerator will allow it to be stored for several hours. |
|
|
This is how casts of legs and arms are made. In the future, you will have to process the edges and sand the surface. |
|
|
The impressions of the handles should be more imprinted, since excess residue will have to be removed between the fingers. It’s easier with legs – the toes are always together. |
|
|
After taking the casts out of the refrigerator, let them warm up. They should not be cold and soft, the temperature should vary from +12 to +23 degrees. |

|
|
Stir the entire mixture from the jar. Degrease the glass so that the plasticine does not come off after drying. |
|
|
Distribute the mixture around the circumference of the surface. Watch the joints between the lumps - if they form empty seats, try to hide them first, and then move on to the next “bare” spot. |
|
|
Align the joints and remove excess pieces from the neck. |
|
|
Grind the balls, dispersing them into open small areas. |
|
|
Squeeze the excess with your hands and it will come to the surface. You can remove them with your fingers. |
|
|
Only after this do you start decorating the bottom. |
|
|
After sealing the joints between the sides and the bottom, dry the plasticine on a radiator or in the sun. |

Crafts made from wool threads
The next promised master class, which involves creating a present for any thematic celebration. You can give such a gift with your own hands to your mother just like that, for no reason, not for a holiday, but from the heart.

|
|
|

|
|
After winding, coat all the threads with glue. PVA glue will not leave marks, only shine. |
|
|

|
|
Decorate the balloons with ribbons or other decorative items. A DIY gift like this for mom and dad would be a nice addition to something homemade. |
Tip: It is better to use wool threads - the fibers that have separated from the string will overlap free seats ball. This way the area covered with threads will be larger, which will allow you to create a strong frame than from thin threads.

Video compilation
An article for those who like to be creative with their children. It contains recipes for salted play dough and many ideas for crafts.
Modeling is a fun and useful activity at the same time. By making figurines, paintings, compositions from plastic material, the child develops imagination, logical thinking, fine motor skills, learns perseverance.
Of course, mom can just buy plasticine or some branded modeling compound for the baby. But how high quality and environmentally friendly are these materials? As an alternative, you can use salt dough made with my own hands from inexpensive natural products.
How to make dough for crafts?
Environmental friendliness is not the only advantage of salt dough over plasticine or play-doh.
- The recipe according to which the plastic mass is prepared does not cause any difficulties for absolutely anyone. If a child asks to sculpt while at the dacha, for example, and there is no plasticine at hand, his wish can be fulfilled in half an hour
- Materials for modeling in the store are quite expensive. Ingredients for salt dough will cost much less
- Salted dough, even the one to which paint has been added, does not stain your hands or stick to your fingers. It's soft and pliable
- Crafts made from dough can be dried using a special technology. Then they will be stored for a long time and serve as a souvenir, Christmas tree decoration, or children's toy.
IMPORTANT: Even in ancient times, people mastered modeling from dough with salt. A whole art arose, which was called testoplasty. Women and children made very elegant crafts, painted them by hand and used them as decorations for their homes. Figures symbolizing various benefits were considered expensive gifts, presented only to close people. Our ancestors didn’t bother with the salt dough recipe, making the material only from water, flour and salt
Today, salt dough modeling, which has suddenly returned to popularity, is called bioceramics. The recipes for the dough itself are being improved. Unfortunately, some of them involve the use of wallpaper paste, synthetic paints, etc. The concept of absolute naturalness is lost.
Salt play dough has three main components. This:
Additionally widely used:
- gelatin
- starch
- vegetable oil
- natural dyes (beet juice, green beans, etc.)
- food coloring
- gouache or watercolor paints
- PVA glue
- wallpaper glue
Glue or starch makes ready-made dried dough figures more durable, but it is not advisable to add them to material intended for children under 5 years of age. But dough with butter can be greasy and stain your clothes.
IMPORTANT: You can color both the dough itself while it is being prepared and the finished figurine, then creativity will be doubly more interesting and useful
RECIPE No. 1. Simple dough
You need: wheat flour – 1 cup, extra salt – 1 cup, cold water – 0.5 cups
First of all, the dry ingredients, flour and salt will be combined. If the dough is colored with food coloring or paint, dissolve it in water. Gradually adding colored water to flour and salt, knead a fairly stiff dough, but such that it does not stick to your hands and does not crumble into crumbs.
IMPORTANT: To check whether the mass is suitable for modeling, roll out a smooth ball and press a hole in the middle of it with your finger. The dough should neither spread nor immediately return to shape. The edges of the recess should remain smooth
RECIPE No. 2. Dough with starch
You need: wheat flour - 0.5 cups, starch - 0.5 cups, extra salt - 1 cup, water - 0.5 cups.
Just as in the first case, first mix flour, salt and starch. Next, clean or colored cold water is gradually added. Modeling mass that contains starch becomes more elastic.
In addition to the saltiest modeling dough, you need to prepare:
- dostochku
- knives - stacks
- molds (such, for example, come complete with play-doh dough)
- beads, sequins, buttons, other improvised materials for decorating crafts
IMPORTANT: The flour and salt dough can be used several times in a row. To avoid drying out, the material is placed in plastic bag or wrapped in cling film, then sealed in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator
How to dry dough crafts?
If the dough crafts are small, they will dry out on their own. To prevent cracks from appearing on their surface, they are removed from direct sunlight.
You can also dry the dough figures in the oven at a minimum temperature and always keep the door ajar. Dry the dough in the oven for 3 – 6 hours, depending on the size of the craft. It goes into the oven three times for 1 - 2 hours, with a short break between each time.
Making salt dough with children
You can offer salt dough to your baby for the first time at the age of 1 year. This is not chemical plasticine or play-doh; mom doesn’t have to worry if the baby tastes the material or swallows it. For such small “homemade products”, the dough is prepared without synthetic dyes.
IMPORTANT: Play dough is very salty. As a rule, it is enough for a child to lick it to understand that it is not edible. But if the baby still ate a piece, you just need to give him plenty of drink, and if the mother is still worried, a bag of Smecta
Full-fledged developmental modeling classes are possible with children from 2 years old. From rolling out circles and balls from salt dough, they will smoothly move into real creativity, in which kids will be able to make flowers, animals, favorite fairy-tale and cartoon characters, etc.
The finished result of dough modeling is as important for kids as the process itself. Finished craft evokes strong positive emotions in them.
Crafts from dough for children in kindergarten
There is no need to think that salt dough is a “handicraft” material exclusively for home use. Kindergarten teachers have long taken note of recipes for plastic materials and are happy to replace plasticine with them in developmental classes with students.
So, in nurseries they often make casts of baby hands, circles, mushrooms, “sausages”, snails, etc. In older groups, children are already working on themed crafts, for example, for the holidays.
Crafts from dough for kids. Step-by-step dough crafts
When making dough with kids, you don’t need to come up with ideas for crafts: usually, they are born by themselves the moment your fingers touch the plastic material. Children love to sculpt:
- geometric shapes
- flowers and trees
- fruits and vegetables
- animals
- dinosaurs
- little men
- fairy-tale creatures
- cartoon characters
Adults, mastering testoplasty, can get ideas on the Internet, there are many step by step wizard classes.

Progress of the master class:
We will need:
- 2 cups flour;
- 1 glass of salt
- 1 tbsp. spoon of vegetable oil;
- paper for templates
- cardboard;
- foil
- gouache;
- tools (brush, pen, with used paste, pencil, felt-tip pen cap, vitamin bottle, rolling pin, modeling stack)
- sippy cup with water;
- rubber glue;
- knitting threads, white and brown;
- bead;
- varnish
Mix flour, salt, vegetable oil in a small amount cold water. To prepare the dough, you can use a handful of wallpaper glue, and it is better to use non-iodized salt. Knead the stiff dough.
We will need templates for a horseshoe and a girl's dress. Fold a sheet of white paper in half and draw a template.
Roll out a piece of dough 0.5-0.7 cm thick, measuring 15x15 cm. Cut out a horseshoe in a stack according to the template.
We transfer it to the foil with which we wrapped a sheet of cardboard.
Use a pen to make two holes on the edges of the horseshoe.
Lubricate the edges of the horseshoe with water, leveling with a brush. Next we use water to press the dough pieces together. To keep the girl’s figure on the horseshoe, we form the base.
Roll out part of the dough to a thickness of 0.3 cm. Using the template, cut out the girl’s dress and, turning the dough in the form of folds, form a dress on the base.
Roll out a piece of dough 0.3 cm thick and cut out two trapezoids.
We roll them into two cones in the form of sleeves.
We stick them to the dress.
We form a cake from the dough, having previously rolled out the ball.
Spread the cake onto the base.
Roll out three balls. These are the eyes and mouth.
We smear them, shaping the nostrils with the tip of the stack.
Forming volumetric triangles and cut out the toes in a stack, highlighting the nails with a stack.
We glue the legs to the edge of the dress.
We sculpt our hands in the same way.
From a piece of dough we make ladybug and apply it to the dress.
The next stage is making a bouquet of roses. Roll out with a rolling pin and make circles using a vitamin bottle.
We cut the resulting circles, forming flowers of various shapes.
From the remaining halves we form leaves, drawing veins in a stack on their surface.
We make a bouquet by applying flowers and leaves to the horseshoe using water.
We cover the horseshoe on both sides with brown gouache. To prevent the horseshoe from cracking, you need to cover the back side of the horseshoe with PVA glue.
We paint the girl’s legs, arms and head with pink gouache, highlighting the nails and mouth.
We paint the bouquet, covering the roses with glitter varnish.
We color the dress, draw an eye, a mouth, a ladybug.
We make an inscription on the horseshoe.
When everything is ready, we move on to the next stage - drying. You can put the finished work in a warm place and it will dry slowly for about two weeks. Drying time depends on the thickness of the product.
You can use an oven for this purpose. True, the product can be damaged and deformed due to severe overheating. Therefore, you need to ensure that the craft remains warm and not hot. Dry in the oven on the lowest heat for about an hour and you need to wait another hour until the craft cools down. Then we repeat the procedure.
In addition, drying can be combined. First, heat in the oven and then air dry. Readiness can be easily determined by the ringing sound when tapped. When the product is completely ready, it is varnished using liquid colorless varnish for wooden products.
Making hair for a girl. We unwind white knitting threads 20 cm long.
We tie it with a bunch of white threads. This is bangs.
We braid the hair and tie it with ribbons.
Glue the hair with rubber glue to the girl's head.
We tie a brown thread, threading it through the holes. Decorate the thread with a bead.
Salt dough box. Master class with step-by-step photos
Author: Nazarova Tatyana Nikolaevna, Additional education teacher, Municipal Educational Institution of Preschool Children's Institution, House of Childhood and Youth, MillerovoMaster class “Box for mother’s beads” using the technique of modeling salt dough.
Any mother will be delighted to receive a gift from her child. Yes, if this gift is also made by the child himself, with desire and love.
Purpose: Such boxes can be given on March 8, Mother's Day, or just as a gift for no reason.
Dear colleagues! I offer this master class for technology teachers, teachers primary classes, teachers of additional education, as well as for teachers of preparatory school groups. Maybe the master class will seem simple to you? This is wrong. In our work we use subtle elements and sometimes it is not easy for children to cope with such a task.
Target: make a bead box using the salt dough modeling technique.
Tasks:
- encourage the desire to make handmade gifts for loved ones;
- develop creativity and imagination in students;
- instill a love for modeling from salt dough.
Stages of work:
To make the box we need: an empty jar of face cream, PVA glue, clove seasoning - seeds, glass, rolling pin, thin brush for glue, cutting out for marzipan “flower”, “leaf”, salt dough.
Salt dough recipe:
Flour – 1 tbsp. “Extra” salt - 0.5 tbsp. water 0.5 tbsp. Pour salt into a bowl and fill it with cold water. The salt will dissolve a little, and immediately add a little flour. Add flour as needed. Knead into a tight, elastic dough. While working, store the dough in a cellophane bag so that it does not dry out.
Take a small piece of dough and roll it out to 2-3 mm thick. Using a leaf die cutter, cut out 13 leaves.
Dust the table with flour and place the squeezed out leaves. The leaves will not stick to the table. Make notches on the leaves in a stack as if you were drawing a Christmas tree.
Now we need to glue these leaves to the jar. It is advisable that your PVA glue be thicker. Lightly dip the brush into the glue and lubricate the jar in the place where you glue the leaf. Try not to smear the jar too much with glue, the leaves may “float” down. Glue all the leaves in this way. Excess glue can be wiped off with a dry brush.
Take a small pea-sized ball of dough and glue it to the leaves. In this case you do not need glue, there is enough of it around the edges of the leaves. Now take the clove seeds and cut off the stems with scissors to make the clove shorter. Lightly press the cloves into the center of the small lump. This way, the berry will stick to the leaves, and the leaves will hold onto the jar more firmly. So just glue one berry to all the leaves.
Let's start decorating the lid. Using the method already familiar to us, we cut out 9 leaves and make notches on them. Let me remind you once again, when you glue the leaves, do not lubricate the lid with glue. The leaves will remain firmly in place after drying. The leaves were glued.
Take a small lump of dough and roll it out with a rolling pin to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Using a flower die cutter, cut out several flowers.
Place a flower on each leaf, and press it in the center of the flower with the back end of the brush. You will get the middle of the flower. We don't use glue. The flower will hold up well anyway. When pressing the flower, hold the brush carefully so that it does not slide on the lid; a careless movement can ruin the entire composition. Remove excess glue with a dry brush, or cotton swab. Even if the glue is visible somewhere, do not worry, after drying it will not be visible.
This is what the box should look like. Now our task is to carefully move it to the place where you will dry it. We will dry it on a sunny windowsill. Drying will take approximately 6-7 days. It’s better not to rush, but to dry the box thoroughly.
The box is dry. Paint it with paints, and after the paint has dried, cover it with colorless acrylic varnish. The varnish will preserve your work for a long time. Here our box is ready.
Using the same principle, my children and I decorated jars for food products, in which you can store raisins or any seasoning. The mothers were happy. This is what we got.
I wish you and the children creative success!
