It is not for nothing that modeling is considered one of the most interesting and useful for fine motor skills classes. Using plasticine polymer clay or test, you and your child can create a whole world of your own images, besides, with plasticine or clay toys and figures it’s very cool to stage performances based on famous fairy tales or come up with your own stories, but first you need to stock up on characters.
The hero of many cartoons and fairy tales is the Golden Comb Cockerel. Your child will surely love this bright and beautiful image, so prepare everything you need and start sculpting.
What might you need?
It is easy to make a rooster from both plasticine and polymer clay or dough - the technique for making the toy is almost the same. You can first figure out with your child what the future rooster should look like or find a beautiful picture of a rooster. You can also use special diagrams or watch a video master class that shows you step by step and in detail how to make a figurine.
If you have chosen plasticine as the material for work, then prepare several bright colors: yellow, red, brown, for the tail feathers you can use green, blue, and purple, and for the eyes - black and white.
It is best to sculpt on a special working board (if you don’t have one, then take at least a piece of plywood or regular kitchen board), you will also need a rolling pin to roll out the workpieces and a knife or stack (as a rule, it should come complete with plasticine). You can cut holes using matches or a pen, and wire or toothpicks will help you fasten the parts and give them rigidity.
Toys made from polymer clay or salt dough will have to be fired and then painted using acrylic paints or gouache (or take colored material straight away).
If you wish, you can make a rooster using some famous technique, for example, make a Dymkovo toy or a Filimonov toy.
Making a cockerel from plasticine
- The easiest way is to do this flat figurine on paper. To do this, lay out the body of a rooster from yellow plasticine (a small deformed oval with a bend, so that the head is on top). Then attach three small red plasticine balls to the head and form them into a comb. Make a beak from two red triangles and also add a beard. Roll out the red material into thin ropes and attach the legs to the body. Add a small black dot - an eye and a yellow oval on the body - a wing. Out of four different colors form voluminous strips and place them one next to the other in the shape of a semicircle, so that they form a chic tail for your rooster.
- To make a voluminous toy, first make a body blank - roll a yellow ball and bend it slightly (you will get something like a cucumber). However, the body of a cockerel can be pear-shaped or ovoid. Further, the manufacturing scheme will be the same as for a flat figure. Form a scallop from three small red balls, a beak from a thin orange sausage folded in half, and eyes from two white and black tiny balls. The wings can be made as follows: you need to flatten two pieces cylindrical, so that they form elongated cakes, then bend them slightly (in an arc) and place them on the sides of the bird. For the tail, make three sausages of different colors and connect them at one end, bending them in a semicircle, and then attach them to the body of the cockerel. The paws are made from two flat cakes. For greater resemblance, apply thin notches on them with a match. Place your body on your paws.
Instead of paws, you can make a stand. If you wish, you can add other details: draw feathers on the wings or make molded patterns, decorate the neck of the cockerel, etc. In exactly the same way, a rooster is molded from colored salt dough (if you take the usual one, then you will need to paint the figurine).
Making a cockerel from clay
See how you can make a Filimonov toy from clay ( characteristic feature The thing about these figurines is that they are made like whistles, but cockerels and turkeys are an exception, since they do not whistle).
- Take a piece of clay and divide it into three parts - for the stand, for small parts (beard and comb) and for the main part of the figure.
- Roll the largest part - the main part - into a carrot. It depends on what dimensions and parameters it will be. future view your product.
- Bend this piece in the middle at a right angle. Where the part is thicker, there will be a tail, and from the sharp part it is necessary to form a head with a beak. If cracks appear at the folds, smooth them out with wet fingers.
- Pinch the thick end several times to create a large, flat ponytail. You can trim it with a knife.
- Make a comb from a small round cake, cutting it in half - just grease the head of the figure with slip (this is liquid clay that is used to hold parts together - fashion a clay bowl, pour a little water into it and stir with a brush) and press the comb tightly.
- Roll the beard out of a small ball and attach it under the beak.
- For the stand, make a cone out of clay. Then insert a pointed stick into its base and roll it on the table to roll out the cone from the inside. When ready, place the cone on the paper and attach the figure on top to the slip.
- The products need to be dried for four to five days, and then fired in the oven (at a temperature of about 1000 degrees).
- Then the figures are painted (use gouache with the addition of PVA glue or acrylic).

Attach a protrusion to the ball - the neck and head. The same mixed red or orange plasticine is suitable for this.
At the top of the protrusion, attach the beak, eyes and red beard under the beak.
To sculpt the wings, plasticine of a similar shade is suitable, or add more green to it. First, pinch off two portions from a piece, knead them in your hands, and flatten them. Then press down on the sides with your fingers. You should get flat cakes, the shape of which resembles a drop. Draw many stripes in a stack on the surface of the wings.
Connect two flat parts with a voluminous body.
Make the tail in the same color scheme, as the wings. Pull the mass into several oblong thin sausages. Assemble a bouquet from the prepared parts. And pre- or subsequently rinse the plates with a stack. Fluff the top for a chic ponytail.

The eye is made of black and you can also emphasize the beak with black. Select feathers on the orange plasticine neck, and on the panties too.
Roll the ball into a cone-shaped roll. Connect three red balls together and attach the comb to the body of the cockerel. We will make eyes from white balls: we will stick small black dots (pupils) on them. Make a sausage from an orange ball and shape it into an arc (beak). Roll the green balls into tubes and flatten them. Attach the cockerel to the body. Make the tail three-colored: roll out three different balls (the size of a pea) into sausages and connect them together. Make rollers out of two orange balls and flatten them, draw notches.
