Materials

  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Black marker
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Walrus craft template

Instructions

  • Download the walrus craft template, print, and cut out all of the pieces.
  • Place the lighter colored walrus belly on the bottom, wider part of the walrus body, and glue it in place. Trim off any excess paper from the bottom.
  • Take the walrus muzzle and glue the tusks to the back of the muzzle.
  • Place the muzzle and teeth slightly above the belly and glue them in place.
  • Glue the black nose on the muzzle, with the top part of the nose slightly off the top of the muzzle.
  • Use the black marker to draw a straight line down an inch or two from the pointy part of the walrus nose. Make some small circles on either side of the nose to represent whisker holes.
  • Position the eyes above the nose and glue them in place.
  • Trace your child’s left and right hands onto the same colored paper you made the walrus’ body from. Cut each handprint out.
  • Position the handprints with the thumbs pointing down at a slight angle at the bottom of the walrus’ body. These are the walrus’ flippers. Glue them in place.
