Instructions

  • Download the Killer Whale template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Paint a paper plate in 1-2 thin coats of black paint. Let dry completely before moving on.
  • Place the Killer Whale body template on the black paper plate, trace, and cut it out.
  • Begin to create the whale by gluing the tail fluke to the left end and backside of the paper plate.

  • Finish the Killer Whale by gluing the flipper in the middle of the body, slightly above the white belly.
