Project Details

A fun craft project to make when learning about these large aquatic mammals.

Lesson Plan Ideas

NOTE: Print out pattern as follows:

  • 74% for 4" x 8" Mini Bags
  • 100% for 6" x 11" Bags
  • 120% for 7" x 14" Bags

Steps

  1. Cut out the Pieces: Following the pattern (Whale_pattern.pdf-See NOTE above) cut the pieces from Prang® Construction Paper. For the spout, after cutting slits, roll bottom edge around pencil and glue. Slide pencil out and curl edges of spout outward. Let dry.

  2. Assemble your Whale: Open your Creativity Street® Kraft Bag and fill 2/3 full with shredded or crumpled paper. Gather the end of the bag to create the whale’s fluke (tail) and secure with a rubber band.

  3. To hide the rubber band cut a 1/2" x 4" strip (3/8" x 3" strip for Mini Bags) from construction paper. Wrap over rubber band and glue.
