Paper Plate Pufferfish Craft

May 6, 2015 by OneMommy

Hot summer days are perfect for doing a bit of crafting with the kids (preferably inside with some air conditioning).  And when it comes to summer crafts, sea animals are perfect for all ages.

One of our favorite sea animal crafts is this cute paper plate pufferfish craft!

Materials Needed:

  • Paper plate
  • Acrylic paint
  • Construction paper
  • Wiggly eyes
  • Black marker
  • Glue stick
  • Fork

Using the fork as a stamp, paint the paper plate with tine marks.  We found that going around the outer edge and working our way inward helped create the look we wanted for our blowfish.

Once the paint is dry, use scissors to cut fins out of construction paper.  We cut ours into wide triangles and attached them to the back of the plate.

Use glue to add some fun googly eyes.

To create a mouth for your fish, use a black permanent marker.

Try creating a pufferfish with two different colored paints for even more fun!  (We used construction paper to cute out a mouth for this one to help it stand out a bit more amid all the colors.)

This cute summer craft is fun to make and looks pretty hanging on the doors.

We used ours to help decorate for my son’s shark birthday party.  The guests loved looking at them while playing all the shark games.

 

Whether you make one paper plate pufferfish craft with your little crafter, or you make a school of them, this sea animal craft is sure to bring a smile!

      One of the things I hope to do with the activities I share here on the blog is to inspire parents and teachers with new ideas to use with their kids and students.

      Thank you for stopping by! Have a great school year!
