DLTK's Animal Crafts for Kids
Otter Craft
You can treat this as a sea otter or a river otter. I was
thinking sea otter when I designed it which is why I have the clam and
rock to go with him, but you can discard those and have your children draw
a fish for a river otter (or just leave him with empty hands).
Materials:
- toilet paper roll
- printer,
- something to colour with,
- scissors,
- glue, and
- paper
|
 |
Instructions:
- Print out the template of choice.
- Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the
template pieces.
- Glue the large rectangular piece on first to
cover the tube. Toilet paper rolls come in different sizes, so if you find the
rectangle is a bit too big, just trim it down. If you find it's a bit too small,
just cut out another small piece to fill in the gap.
- Glue on the head, legs and arms (see photo on this page if you get stuck)
- Glue the rock into one hand and the clam into the other. You can
talk about how sea otters balance a rock on their tummy and then crack open
clams, oysters and other mollusks on the rock.
- Cut out the tail and fold it in half so it's colored on both sides
- Glue the halves together
- Bend the tab and glue to the back of the tp rolll (using the tab to make a 3D effect)
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).
