Cute Plastic Cup Whale

Age Group: 4 years (with help) to 10 years

Estimated Time: Under 30 minutes
Messiness: Medium

Materials:

• Plastic cup
• Blue acrylic paint
• Blue cardboard paper
• White cardboard paper
• Scissors
• Blue or grey buttons
• White craft glue
• White pipe cleaners
• Permanent marker
• 2 googly eyes

Method:

1. Paint the plastic cup blue with the acrylic paint (if the paint is not acrylic, it will just peel off).
2. Cut out 2 fins from the blue card.
3. Draw around the cup and extend into a tail and cut it out (so that the cup can be glued to the tail)
4. Once the cup has dried, use craft glue to stick the fins on either side of the cup and the top of the cup (the drinking part) onto the circular part of the tail.
5. Poke a hole in the bottom of the cup (now the top of the whale's head), and push in white pipe cleaners to mimic water.
6. Around the pipe cleaners, glue some blue buttons.
7. Glue on the googly eyes.
8. Draw in a nose and mouth.
