DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Narwhal Paper Craft
contributed by Leanne Guenther
This adorable little narwhal is a simple cut and paste paper craft for children to make. The shapes are easy to cut out making it a good choice for young children just learning to use scissors.
Did you know?
The narwhal's tusk is actually a modified tooth. The boys sometimes rub their tusks together when they meet -- this is called "tusking".
All narwhal's use their tusks to sense things in the water (the tusks have channels in them that feed information to the narwhal).
Materials:
- something to color with if using the B&W version,
- scissors,
- glue,
- paper
- Optional: wiggly eyes
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice -- there is a choice of black and white or color.
- If using the B&W template, this is the children's chance to get creative. Color it in however you like using colored pencils, crayons, markers, pastels or paints. This is a fun one to paint since the body shape is nice and big.
- Cut out the craft template pieces. Some of the pieces may require the help of an adult or older child.
- Glue the narwhal together:
- Glue the eye near the mouth.
- Glue the fin on the side of the body.
- Glue the tusk at the top of the head.
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
