First, guide your child to paint the paper plate with 1-2 thin coats of paint and let it dry completely.

Next, help your child trace the walrus head template onto the paper plate and cut off the top section only.

Position the eyes towards the top of the head and glue in place.

Glue the nose to the middle of the mouth.
