Bear made of clay or plasticine. Master Class. Misha and the bear. How to make a bear from plasticine Make a bear from plasticine

There are several types of bears and the most popular among them are the brown and polar bear. In one of the previous master classes we showed how to make a brown bear, so today's lesson we will devote to creating a white one. Let's create a bear in a cartoon form, which will greatly simplify the sculpting process. Thanks to this, even a beginner can make a polar bear.

So, for work you will need:

  • white, black plasticine for creating a bear;
  • red and green plasticine for craft decoration;
  • convenient plastic knife or stack;
  • toothpick or match.

Craft stages

Step 1. Let's start sculpting by creating the head. Cut off a piece of the white mass and give it an oval shape. Then we flatten the top of the workpiece a little so that the part takes on a more regular shape.

Step 2. Next we sculpt a teardrop-shaped large body. We press down the top of the workpiece, creating indentations for the head. We fix a piece of toothpick in the center of the recess and attach the head. Let's immediately adjust the tilt and rotation of the head.

Step 3. From two pieces of plasticine we create large hind legs. We attach them to the lower part of the body. We also glue a small round tail to the body.

Step 4. Before attaching the front pair of paws, you need to make a decorative element of the craft - a scarf and attach it to the bear’s neck. We roll two sausages, red and green, connect them as shown in the photo and flatten them.

We fix the colored strip on the craft, cut off the excess mass and cut through its ends with a stack.

Step 5. Now we attach the front teardrop-shaped legs. Let's make them smaller to maintain the proportionality of the animal.

Step 6. Make the bear's face convex using an oval cake. We attach it to the head and decorate it with a large black nose. On the top of the head we place a couple of small round ears.

Step 7. We finalize the animal’s face: glue two black eyes, draw eyebrows, create highlights and a mouth line.

If you have a baby, then he probably has a favorite teddy bear with which he plays and sleeps. Indeed, this is the most popular toy among boys and girls. That is why all children will accept the offer to make a figure of a bear from plasticine with great joy.

Young sculptors will not have to work long and create complex small details, because the bear is quite simple to make. You will be convinced of this if you read the instructions below on how to make a bear from simple plasticine.

Necessary materials for modeling

  • brown plasticine in two different shades;
  • black color;
  • stack;
  • solid base.

How to make a bear from plasticine: step-by-step photo instructions

1. You can start sculpting with the body or head of the bear. In both cases, you need to roll a brown ball. Only their sizes should be different, but proportional.

2. Place a light cake on the larger ball, but first give it a heart shape by cutting out the figure with a stack.

3. Glue the paws to the bottom. To create the paws, knead the dark brown plasticine in your hands, divide it into two equal pieces, and stretch it into oblong sausages. Attach thin black claws to the tips of the paws. Then attach the lower limbs to the body, pressing firmly on the soft plasticine.

4. Based on the above method, also create the upper legs with claws.

5. Attach the upper legs to the body.

6. On the second ball, prepared for sculpting the head, stick a protruding light tubercle.

7. Turn the tubercle into a nose, attach eyes and round ears.

8. Finally, all that remains is to connect the head with the body to complete the plasticine bear figurine.

Children will love this simple modeling master class. Making a bear from plasticine is not at all difficult, which means this lesson is suitable for very young children.

Good afternoon, readers and guests of the “Family and Childhood” website. If you want to give your child positive emotions and have fun, take up object modeling in your spare time. This type of work is a great creative hobby for the whole family.

You can spend 20-30 minutes on it every day; this will be enough to see clear progress in your baby’s mental development in a short time. Or you can practice such classes only on weekends, so that each lesson seems like a fabulous holiday, and does not turn into an ordinary routine.

We invite you to master the easy craft of a bear figurine from plasticine. This photo tutorial provides recommendations for bringing an interesting idea to life.

1. Start creating an object by sculpting a ball. A bear can be white, brown or black. Depending on the expected result, choose the color of the plasticine. In this case, brown was used.

2. Design the front part of the bear. It's not difficult to do this at all. A light brown tubercle with a black dot and two grains instead of eyes will help to set the characteristic features.

3. Attach small round ear flaps to the top of your head.

4. From the same brown mass, make a body in the shape of a walnut. Insert a match to further secure the head of the animal figurine.

5. Attach the head to the match, press firmly on the plasticine to fix the part. Add two oblong cakes to the lower part of the body. These will be the bear's paws.

6. Make dots from light brown plasticine and stick them in the form of pads on the bottom of the paws.

Bears are large predatory animals that seem very kind and sweet to us from childhood. There are so many fairy tales in which the heroes are bears: “Masha and the Bear”, “Teremok”, “Three Bears”, “The Stolen Sun” and so on. There are so many dear cartoons to us: “Winnie the Pooh and All-all-all”, “Umka is looking for a friend”, “Masha and the Bear”, “Toptyzhka” and many, many others.

Today we will try to mold this animal, dear to us since childhood, from plasticine.

Let's see what we need for this.

Materials and tools

To sculpt a bear from plasticine, we will, of course, need the plasticine itself. It is better to take several colors: brown as the main one, black for the eyes and nose and, for example, white for the muzzle. You will also need a stack - a special knife for working with plasticine. And it is important to prepare a board in advance on which you will create your masterpiece - it is needed in order not to stain the surface on which you will work. If you have prepared all the mentioned materials and tools, you can safely start sculpting.

Plasticine bear step by step

You and I will make such a cute little bear.


It won't be difficult. Anyone can make a bear from plasticine, as shown in the photo.

  1. The first thing you need to do is take a medium-sized piece of plasticine and roll it out into a ball that will serve as the bear’s head.
  2. Next, take a slightly larger piece and roll it into an oval. This will be the body of our plasticine bear.
  3. Next, we make balls from four small pieces of equal size and roll them in our palms to a shape similar to a sausage. These four parts will serve as legs - upper and lower. We attach arms and legs from plasticine to the bear - to its body.
  4. It's time to sculpt the ears! For them we need two small brown ovals. We attach them directly to the top of the head on both sides, at a short distance from each other.
  5. Let's move on to the muzzle. Before this, we worked only with brown plasticine, but now we will use other colors prepared in advance. We form a circle from white plasticine and flatten it with our fingers on the board so that it turns out flat. We attach this part to the teddy bear's head, as shown in the photo.
  6. Then we move on to the nose and eyes. For these we will use black. We will make the nose from a circle, which we then flatten a little. We attach it to the white muzzle. For the eyes you will need a small amount of material. Roll out two small circles and attach them directly above the white muzzle at a short distance from each other.

The teddy bear is ready!

Bamboo bear made of plasticine

We made a brown bear, now let's try to create a panda. Pandas are rare animals that are listed in the Red Book.

For modeling we need white and black plasticine.


  1. Just like in the previous process, we roll out a circle of white plasticine - this will be the head. We make the body the same color - an oval twice the size. Let's connect them together.
  2. Next, roll out four sausages from black plasticine: two smaller ones for the arms and two larger ones for the legs. We attach them to the panda's body.
  3. For heels like those of the teddy bear in the photo, you need to roll out small white circles, flatten them and attach them to the legs.
  4. Also, using white plasticine, we make a round, slightly flattened muzzle, and attach a small black circle to it - the nose.
  5. We make the ears and eye spots oval. Next, for the eyes you need two more small white circles and two more black, slightly smaller ones. We attach these parts to the head - and voila!

These are the beautiful bear cubs you can get. Good luck!

An easy lesson on sculpting a bear will do. To make a figurine of this beast, you can create exclusively round parts and combine them into a single product. Kids will definitely like this kind of work, because there is no need to make an exact copy of a complex object. All you need to do is buy plasticine, set aside some time and start creating and having fun.

Materials for sculpting a bear:

  • brown plasticine;
  • small amounts of beige, white and black plasticine;
  • plastic tool for cutting blocks;
  • match or toothpick.

How to make a simple bear from plasticine:

1. To make a bear, reproduce all the necessary body parts in the form of balls. This will be easy to do even for a four year old child. It is not forbidden to choose dark shades of plasticine, for example, brown, black, then you will get a brown bear. If you replace the material with a brighter one, the toy copy will be more fantastic. The first ball will later become the head.

2. Roll two additional balls, but small ones. Press the balls onto the board with your fingers. Attach the resulting cakes as ears to the head.

3. Place an oblong beige cake on the lower part of the face, add a black bead - a nose.


4. Attach the eyes and use stacks to make the bear smile.

5. Prepare the next three balls for sculpting the body and legs. The first part should be the largest in size.

6. Attach the ball feet to the body. Glue the legs to the bottom. Stretch the cakes into ovals.


7. Connect the two main parts; a match or toothpick can help with this. Such fastening will make the craft more durable; during the game the head will not fall off, but will be firmly attached to the body.
