Use construction paper and tissue paper to make a spouting whale craft! This was pretty easy to make and lots of fun. Plus good fine motor skills development involved with scrunching up the tissue paper!
Supplies Needed:
- white and blue construction paper
- pencil
- scissors
- blue tissue paper ( 1″ x 1″ squares)
- glue stick
- white school glue
- googly eyes
How To:
1. I drew a whale shape on the blue construction paper and cut it out.
2. My son used a glue stick to glue the whale onto the white paper. He made sure to leave some room under the whale so he could add the tissue paper water. Then he rubbed the glue stick all over the bottom of the paper and glued on the blue tissue paper squares to make the ocean water.
3. Together, we wadded up the blue tissue paper squares to make the water spout.
4. Using the white school glue, I added glue dots in the pattern of the whale’s water spout and then my son added the scrunched-up the tissue paper.
5. To complete his craft, my son added the googly eyes. He loves googly eyes and, in his opinion, no craft is complete without them!
