It is not without reason that modeling is considered one of the most interesting and useful activities for fine motor skills. Using plasticine polymer clay or test, you and your child can create a whole world of your own images, moreover, with plasticine or clay toys and figurines, it’s very cool to stage performances based on famous fairy tales or invent 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. The 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 cockerel should be like or find beautiful picture with the image of a rooster. You can also use special diagrams or watch a video master class that shows 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 Dymkovo toy or Filimonovskaya.
Making a cockerel from plasticine
- The easiest way is to make a flat figure 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 ones to the head plasticine ball 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. From four different colors, form voluminous stripes 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 three-dimensional 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 cylindrical pieces 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 sculpted 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. The future appearance of your product depends on what size and parameters it will be.
- 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 lubricate 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).

How to make a rooster from plasticine step by step?
After choosing the shades, you will have the initial stage - the work of kneading the blocks. You can first moisten your hands with water, and also do not forget, in order not to stain the different shades with your fingers dirty from previous blocks, you should wipe your hands with a napkin each time.
Decide on the color of the rooster's body. For example, this part could be orange. Cut off about half of the block with a stack, as if with a knife.
Knead it in your palms and shape it into a ball.
Squeeze the ball a little, giving it the shape of an ellipse. On one side, pull out the soft plasticine into a thin tube. This will be the neck and at the same time the head of the bird.
Attach small eyes at the very top of the protrusion. Use yellow grains from prepared plasticine. Also make blanks for the beak, comb and beard.
Attach a high comb and beak, and under it - long red droplets - a beard. Don't forget about the pupils - tiny black dots. The appearance of the rooster has already been set, now all that remains is to create the plumage.
The next important part of the body of any bird is the wings. For a rooster, you can make them folded or straightened as desired. Form oblong cakes, for example, yellow. Apply red cross stripes to highlight even more vibrant plumage.
Use the sharp tip of the stack to make short cuts, showing the 3D volume.
Glue two wings to the sides of the coop owner's body. Be sure to make two symmetrical, but mirror-inverse parts.
Tail blanks can be made in an even easier way. Simply pull out small portions of plasticine into short sausages. For example, these could be orange and yellow details.
Collect all the feathers into a fan, fastening the soft plasticine on one side and straightening the other.
Glue the tail from the back, after slightly spreading the wings.
And finally, take care of the bird's legs. At this stage, matches will help you, because the thin plasticine legs will be unstable, they will immediately bend under the weight of the entire craft. Stick brown paws with three toes onto the ends of the matches.
Simply insert the free ends of the matches into the plasticine body.
A do-it-yourself plasticine rooster will definitely bring good luck in the New Year if you place it under the Christmas tree or find a place for it in the center of the holiday table.
