Making such a fat cat is very simple, for this:
- Preparing plasticine for work. Choose any shade you like. Heat the material and roll it into a ball. The main figure can be any size. Do you want to get the most well-fed cat? Make a very large ball.
(Step 1) - Additionally, roll a few more balls. We form ovals from the obtained parts. We attach it to the body. Pay attention to the photo of the cat; the hind legs should be slightly larger than the front ones.
(Step 2) - We complement the main figure with a tail. The presentability of our fat man will depend on the length. Roll out the worm, attach it to the ball and wrap the end. Entrust this work to your child, because these plasticine crafts for children are very simple.
(Step 3) - Forming the ears. Roll two small balls or one large one and flatten the workpiece. Cut out the triangles. Carefully attach the finished triangles to the ball and slightly turn the ears at the end inward for volume.
We figured out how to mold the base of a cat from plasticine; it needs to be supplemented with small elements so that a certain facial expression appears.
Follow these steps:
- We continue to work with the main color. Let's make two peas. They will become cheeks. We attach them to the muzzle and carefully smooth them out.
- To make the cat have the same facial expression as in the photo, make a third ball and place it below the cheeks.
- Let's make a nose. Choose a color. Of course, pink will look cutest. Roll the ball and secure it in place.
- Now you need to make the eyes. Wash your hands before handling them, because you will have to work with white. Dirty hands may leave marks on the material.
- Roll out two white peas. We attach the pupils to them; it is not necessary to use plasticine as the pupil, you can place beads of the color you need here.
- We can't leave our furry pet without a mustache. To make them you can use white thread or fishing line. Gently insert the mustache into your cheeks.
- We complete the creation of the cat. Use small white triangles to make fangs for the cat. Draw the animal’s fingers, holes on its nose and cheeks.

A simple sitting cat made of plasticine
The following instructions will tell you how to make a cat out of plasticine using simple steps. Despite the simplicity of execution, the finished product is surprisingly beautiful.
The first thing we will start with is choosing the color of the future animal. If you want a bright fluffy look, go for an orange shade. Fans of mystical murkas can choose black.
The list of materials for work does not change. We use a knife to separate the material into pieces and a board to protect the work surface. Now we’ll tell you how to make a cat from plasticine:
- Before you begin the main modeling, the material needs to be prepared for work. We warm it and knead it in our hands until it becomes completely pliable.
- Take the main color you chose for the cat and roll it into a ball. The finished figure needs to be given a conical shape. As a result, you should get the body of the future cat.
(Step 1) - We continue working with the main color. Make a big pea out of it. It is needed to make the head.
- Now we roll a thin worm. This is a wonderful tail. To make it look elegant, round it and sharpen it at the end.
- Decorate your cat with a beautiful bib. Roll into a ball, roll it out flat and cut out the bib. Make teeth along the edges so that the element looks like wool.
(Step 2) - To give the muzzle a natural look, you need to make four white peas. From these we will make the cat's eyes. We attach pupils of a different color to them, for example, black. We need the remaining white parts for the muzzle.
- Don't forget your nose. It can be made pink or orange. Give your nose a triangle shape for a more natural look.
(Step 3) - Let's take care of the ears. They need to be made in the form of thin triangles. You can make them from a color other than the main one. And, for example, from white. Inside each figurine we make we place an identical one, only with a smaller size and a different color.
- We finish working with the cat. We add dimples to his pupils, draw a mustache and toes.
The cat is ready. This plasticine modeling for children aged 3-4 years, like the previous one, is not complicated and interesting. All actions are elementary and with the help of adults, the cat will turn out natural and cheerful.
