Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
First, we grabbed a scrap piece of cardboard. My daughter drew a whale right onto the cardboard.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
We started wrapping. The kids liked doing this step solo!
Step 4
Cut the foil between the body and tail, and fold it over.
Step 5
That was it. Now time for color! Permanent markers are a must on foil. Washable markers will just rub off.
Final result!
We loved this project. I think we will be making some more shiny sea creatures in the future!
