Make a Paper Plate Giraffe
Have fun making this bright yellow giraffe. Ask an adult to help you.
Materials:
1 paper plate
Yellow and brown paint
Paint brush
Circular sponge brush
Yellow construction paper
Scissors
Glue stick
Big googly eyes
Pencil
Black marker
2 brown pom-poms
Twine and stapler (Optional)
Directions:
First of all, paint your paper plate with the yellow paint.
Set the plate aside to let the paint dry.
Using your pencil and the yellow construction paper, draw two triangles with rounded corners – these will be your giraffe’s ears.
Next draw two long, thin rectangles to make the horns.
Draw a large circle to form the snout of your giraffe.
Carefully cut out the ears, horns and snout.
Glue the ears on either side of your plate.
On top of the plate (in between the ears), glue on the horns and stick a brown pom-pom on the top of each one to form the tufts of hair.
Glue on the giraffe’s googly eyes. If you like, you can draw on long eyelashes.
In the middle below the eyes, glue on the giraffe’s snout.
Draw the giraffe’s nose and mouth on the snout using the pencil, then go over it with the thick black marker.
Using the circular sponge and the brown paint, add the giraffe’s patches all around the plate.
If you want to hang your giraffe up, cut a length of twine and form a big loop and attach it to the back of the top of your plate using the stapler.
