Antarctic Quest-Black Penguin

Hello everyone! I'm glad to find you here. Today, we have such a cute and amusing task whom I added a bit of an educational note because we need to know some basic information about the issue. So, let me start a little before the beginning in order to get to the main task. We'll talk about Antarctic. It is a continental area that encompasses the South Pole and thus it is the coldest area covered by ice. Temperatures are very low and drop under -50 degree especially in winter although in the summer season temperatures are low too, due to the ice sheet which repels the sun's rays and prevents ice to melt. In such harsh conditions, humans cannot live and that is why this place is not inhabited, but it still remains a very interesting research area with large number of research stations located there in order to reveal all the secrets hidden under and above the ice. What is known for sure is that 20 species of birds live there, of which 17 are penguins. They are the subject of our interest today. Penguins, the sweetest among the birds, although you know that they can't fly.

Their wings have been transformed into fins to make swimming easier. Penguins are great swimmers, but even better skaters when they come out of the water into the snow. Because of all their characteristics, they are the most resilient creatures on the planet, considering that they have adapted to the harshest climate in Antarctica. Because of all this penguins are fascinating to me and I often like to watch documentaries or listen something about them. Also, I found my self very often to draw them. They are easy to draw. Everyone can draw them just you need to put in a little bit of an effort. Also, lately I like to make penguins using Plasticine. My son loves it too, so very often we decide to make penguins in various shapes and colors. It's too much fun. You can try it for yourself. Here you may see how can you make cute penguin from Antarctic with play-doh.

First, you need to have play doh set for this purpose. You can use several colors by your choice. I select black color for my black penguin. And, it is time to start.

So far, we have shaped penguin's body and head.

Next step is to put eyes, mouth and feet for the penguin.

After assembling the head with the body and putting on the fins, you will get a cute penguin that you made with your own abilities. Well done!

Penguin Hand Made

There isn't more perfect and stronger bond than the bond between children and toys. It is an unbreakable chain of two compatible things that one does not go without the other. In the first few years of life, best called-childhood, it is unthinkable to pass without toys. There are toys whenever there are children around. So, they are created according to the child's gender and as well, the age. Female children have always loved dolls no matter of their forms and sizes. Doll is the queen toy for girls all around the world. For boys, that universal toy is car, all kind of cars. And that way of children's play and entertainment lasts almost always up to three years. After this age, children want bigger and more meaningful games and, accordingly, such toys are for ages 3+. Here are included different sets of board games, educational or games that encourage logical thinking in children. Also, in this age kids like to do crafts as well as modeling. These are very interesting play sets where children can express their creativity because they are asked to do something, create, assemble, paste, cut and so on. Today, I would like to talk about a set for play-doh modeling that carries the 3+ label. It is a set of several bins with different colors of play doh. It can also contain different modeling shapes, roller for easier dough shaping and various tools that help in modeling dough.

Sometimes you are given a task for how can you make a figure of something or you are allowed to use your imagination and do whatever you want. For starters, you may buy any modeling play set, unpack it and run into a great creative adventure. Everything you do initially, will definitely be a challenge for the next step. Be sure to involve your child in the process and make him try to repeat your actions. You will quickly occupy his attention especially if he meet with this set for the first time. Kid will surely want to try to do something with dough. And, that is great, because modeling shapes is good for many things that stimulate children's development. The first benefit is the impact of motor skills that are involved at the beginning of any modeling. It takes fine movements to make an object and that why is so positive for kid to play with dough. The next is creativity. Through modeling many objects, imagination and logical thinking of kids, develop. So don’t wait any longer, go to get a colorful modeling set. For this purpose, I decided to make a little cute penguin and through a few pictures I will show you how can you do it, too.

Just follow these few steps through pictures, and I'm sure that you can make modeling of a cute little penguin. First, make a shape for its body and then put it eyes, nous and wings.

At the end, you will have adorable penguin made it by your own hands and it will be perfect, because you made it with your kid's help. And, that is just inestimable!

Let's Have FUN with The Powerpuff Girls

Since you have entered into the world of Play-Doh shaping, it is time to go a step further. Making shapes of plasticine is a very creative activity. So, every child after three years old, should try this activity. In my opinion, that needs to be obligatory. Children need to meet with molding no mater when, because it is very good for the development of their motor skills. Hands and fingers are involved in the whole process and that is necessary for the development of their brain function. Also, kids will think about it every day such as what to do with play-doh and try to become better shape molder. They will improve themselves through each next shape which will be better than the previous one. Ideas are just keep spreading and with that they spread the creative field which is very good for encouraging some future talents in children. And the most important thing, is that you will spend time together with your little one and that is invaluable. Above all, another positive sided is that, this activity will separate your child from the TV or mobile phone and we know how much these things have been distracting children lately, regardless of age. They are less and less willing to socialize and more and more they are entering this virtual world created by mobiles and cartoons. So, get the best out of that watching cartoons passion. If your children loves cartoons, it will help in this educational activity that you are trying to perform together. There are many cartoon characters that you can use as a model to make them with play doh. Do you want to start? It is always fun since you decide what will you molding. If you can't decide yet, I have a suggestion for you. Do you know who the Super Puff Girls are? Here's a little reminder. Powerpuff Girls are three the most beautiful superhero girls who have special powers. They use their powers to help fighting with criminals and other enemies. Since they are cute and have super modern costume designs, they are a real challenge for those who like to try molding them with colored dough. So, let me introduce you first to Blossom.

I intentionally put a picture of her side by side to our modeling picture of Blossom, so that you can compere with how it looks in the animated movie.

The next one is Bubbles. She is also a very cute and charming girl and we easily modeled her. Do you like our Bubbles?

The last but not the least is Buttercup. Look at her picture! I think is cute, too. Do you agree with me? Which of these three girls do you like the most?
