Super Squid
Materials:
- paint
- construction paper
- tape (or staples)
- scissors (optional)
- wiggle eyes
- markers
- hole punch
- pipe cleaners
Directions:
- Paint a beautiful design on construction paper.
- Let dry completely.
- Roll the construction paper into a cylinder.
- Overlap the edges by 2 inches. Fasten together with tape or staples.
- If desired, cut shapes (such as circles or triangles) to make a base for the eyes and nose. Glue onto the cylinder.
- Glue on wiggly eyes.
- Decorate the face with markers, adding a mouth.
- Make 8 hole punches at the bottom of the body.
- Make a hook on one side of 8 pipe cleaners.
- Thread the hook through the holes. Pinch the hook together so the pipe cleaners won't fall off.
- Roll the ends of the pipe cleaners to make the squid's tentacles.
- At the top of the cylinder, make two hole punches to hang the squid. Use a pipe cleaner to make a hanger.
