Step-by-Step Directions to Make Walrus Craft
Time needed: 20 minutes
- Paint the paper plate.
Take a paper plate and paint it brown. Use thick brown paint or do multiple coats and let the plate dry.
- Cut the plate.
Once the plate is dry, cut the plate in an egg shape to make the face of the walrus.
- Make mouth of the walrus craft.
Take a small section of light brown construction paper, fold it into half and trace the mouth of the walrus as shown. Cut it out using scissors.
- Make nose, eyes & tusks
Similarly, draw a small oval nose on black craft paper, two tusks & eyes on white craft paper. Cut them out. Use the black sharpie and white correction pen to make the eyes.
- Glue the eyes.
Glue the eyes on the paper plate near the narrow end of the paper plate.
- Fix the mouth of the walrus.
Next using double-sided tape, stick the mouth of the walrus just below the eyes. Glue the nose on the mouth.
