Appetizing loaf is a primordially Russian flour product of unprecedented beauty. One appearance of a skillfully baked loaf causes an irresistible desire to taste at least a piece. In Russia, dear guests have always been greeted with bread and salt. Therefore, we also invite you to play chefs with your children and make a loaf from a plate. Why not? The soft texture of plasticine is so reminiscent of dough, you can knead it in your hands and create all kinds of flour products. All you have to do is buy some plasticine, put on your aprons, prepare your toy utensils and read our sculpting guide.

Plasticine colors for work:

• Orange;
• brown;
• beige.

1. Plasticine colors should be chosen that look like baked dough, so all shades of brown, beige and even orange will do. Just like a real baker needs a knife to work, we will need a plastic stack.

2. From plasticine, the amount of which is maximum, make the basis for the loaf, flattening the part on both sides.

3. Pull the beige plasticine into thin threads.

4. Weave the threads together into long pigtails.

5. Attach the resulting pigtail in a circle at the base of the loaf.

6. Place another similar ring of braids along the top edge.

7. To decorate the loaf, prepare beige long ribbons. From the resulting blanks, create roses by twisting them into spirals.

8. Form some roses and crown the top of a beautiful craft.

9. Stick brown cakes on the side walls and set the relief with a stack.

10. Decorate the whole loaf to complete it.

That's all, the fragrant plasticine loaf is ready. Now place it on the toy pan and send it to the toy oven.

Now I will make a riddle, and you, having guessed it, will find out what we will do today.

“He first grew up in the wild in the field,

In the summer it bloomed and spiked.

And when they threshed

He suddenly turned into grain.

From grain to flour and dough.

I took a place in the store ”(Kolos).

We will talk with you about bread and attitude to it.

Guys, who knows where the bread comes from? (children's statements).

Yes, bread does not have an easy and long way that it goes from a grain to a loaf.

On the teacher's table are: grains of wheat, spikelet, flour, dough.

Children with a teacher remember the whole process of growing cereals. Explaining and showing at the same time how many grains are obtained from a small grain, then they turn into flour, and from flour into dough. And only after that you can prepare the dough and bake bread.

Recall with the children what needs to be added to the flour to knead the dough (children tell).

So, the path of bread is a very complex and long process. And many people are trying to cook this delicious and healthy bread for everyone.

And now let's talk about how to treat bread and the people who grow and bake it (children's statements about caring for bread).

To conclude: every person on earth needs bread.

"There is nothing more precious than warm bread in this wide world."

And now let's read the verses that we know about bread (children reading poems about bread).

Children, today together with our mothers we will become bakers and prepare a beautiful loaf of salt dough.

Demonstration of the manufacture of a three-dimensional loaf figure from salt dough using a frame (plastic jar). Using a laptop to show the presentation "Karavai" - manufacturing technology (parents and children watch the procedure for making crafts).

Now, before we get to work. Let's warm up our fingers.

Finger game "Mill".

For the work of the millstone,

Grind the grains, first!

To make a loaf

Turn the millstone faster!

Stronger than three grains of the side,

It turns out flour! (three palm on palm in a circular motion, first in one direction, then in the other direction).

After the game, everyone gets to work: the parents roll out the dough with rolling pins and stucco the frame of the future loaf in a stucco way.

Children with a teacher roll out "sausages" for plaits and braids, which will be used to decorate the loaf.

Soft music plays while you work.

Word game "Tell me right" (questions and answers)

What is the name of:

Wheat bread is wheat bread.

A field with rye is rye.

Oat porridge - oatmeal.

Bread from rye - rye.

Buckwheat porridge - buckwheat.

A field with oats is an oat field.

Millet porridge - millet.

A field with wheat is wheat.

Conducting physical education: "Knead the dough."

"Oh, palms, palms,

We bake pancakes.

kneading the dough,

And the dough in the bowl is cramped.

The dough fell on the table

The dough slammed onto the table.

The dough ran

Start over."

After the loaf is molded, you need to decorate it using various methods of decoration (bindings, plaits, braids, mesh, moldings).

Then, using modern art decor: beads, sequins, rhinestones, beads, glitter gel, etc., decorate the craft yourself. Developing at the same time fiction, fantasy, creativity. Children take part in decorating with their parents, using caps from felt-tip pens, buttons with various patterns, pasta for printing patterns.

After completing the task, everyone examines the finished loaves, admires the beauty and originality. They rejoice in the success of their own and their comrades.

At the end of the lesson, the director of the bakery, on a towel, brings a real loaf baked by the bakers of the plant for children. For their careful attitude to bread and respect for the work of people who grow and bake it.

The handsome loaf model has survived everything that is necessary for baking a natural loaf.
My manager once mentioned that it would be very cool if the office decorated a loaf - with these words he "sowed" the idea :-) Then the harvesting began: watching MK, collecting egg trays and other "ingredients". And here is the finished result - my "baking" :-)

It is a pity that the photo began to take from this stage. I'll try to write down what happened:
1. I cut out a circle of the desired diameter from cardboard.
2. With a crumpled newspaper, I formed the desired shape, secured it with tape.
3. Prepared papier mache. Watched http://doshkolnik.ru/podelki-iz-raznyh-materialov/4567-lotok-yaica.html
4. With small portions of papier mache (so the product will be stronger), I begin to glue the form. Dry well.
5. After the mold has dried, I prepare the salty dough. There are many recipes on the Internet. I used http://womanadvice.ru/recept-solenogo-testa-dlya-lepki It took me about 4 kneading. After all, my loaf should be a shape no worse than natural! :-)
6. I really liked this stage! Sculpted beauty. Here you can see the modeling technique http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/3953262/rubric/1848273/
7. Let dry well. I dry up to two weeks.

View from above. The loaf is dry. I'm getting to the "ruddy crust".
1. I take out acrylic paints, decorate it in several stages: the first layer of paint is yellow with brown, then more brown-yellow .... well, if you need to “brown” strongly, brown.
2. Removed excess cardboard with a clerical knife, glued thin lace. It turned out like a dish.
2. I cover everything with acrylic varnish. Lace too.

Here it is a symbol of happiness, prosperity and abundance! When I brought it to work, no one believed .... that it was a dummy.
