Shiny Whale

Shiny Whale

Foil is such a fun canvas for children to use in art. I think that's probably because it makes fun, shiny art! We decided a shiny whale would be fun to make...and one colored like a rainbow was even better!

Ages:
2 - 7
Est. Time:
<30 mins

How we did it:

Materials List

  1. cardboard
  2. permanent markers (e.g., sharpies)
  3. scissors
  4. aluminum foil
  1. Shiny Whale Pin It

    First, we grabbed a scrap piece of cardboard. My daughter drew a whale right onto the cardboard.

  2. Shiny Whale Pin It

    I helped to cut our whale out and we got out the aluminum foil. You'll need a sheet big enough to wrap the cardboard with.

  3. Shiny Whale Pin It

    We started wrapping. The kids liked doing this step solo!

  4. Shiny Whale Pin It

    Cut the foil between the body and tail, and fold it over.

  5. Shiny Whale Pin It

    That was it. Now time for color! Permanent markers are a must on foil. Washable markers will just rub off.

  6. Shiny Whale Pin It

    We loved this project. I think we will be making some more shiny sea creatures in the future!
