Colouring in

Welcome to our new online colouring in pages - great for kids of all ages. Just pick a picture, print, and go!

Stuffed Paper Bag Whale

Materials:

• paint - blue or grey (poster or acrylic paints all work well)
• paper lunch bag
• newspaper
• blue construction paper
• elastic band or masking tape
• scotch tape
• glue,
• black marker
• Optional: wiggly eyes

Instructions:

• stuff paper bag with shredded newspaper, leaving about 3 inches unstuffed
• Scrunch the top together and wrap an elastic band or masking tape around to seal.
  • The stuffed part is the body of the whale.
  • The end (top of the bag) is the tail.
• paint the paper bag, including the tail, a whale colour (blue or grey). I never paint the bottom of the whale (the tummy).
• While your bag is drying...
• Cut out flipper shapes from the blue construction paper

   

• Cut a rectangle from the blue construction paper and cut slits in it (see the dotted lines below)

• Roll the piece around a pencil and tape it to make a tube (the spout of the whale)

Once the bag is dry:

• Scotch tape or glue the flippers to the paper bag (I usually glue them to the tummy).
• You can poke a hole in the top of the bag with a pencil and squish the bottom of the spout in there and then apply scotch tape as needed.
• Use a black marker to draw on eyes and a nose (or use wiggly eyes or round stickers).

Paper Plate Whale

This adorable whale craft uses a printable template and a paper plate to make a project suitable for an ocean animals, mammals, or letter W theme or just for fun.

Materials:

• grey or blue paint and paintbrush (or you can use your imagination and paint your whale any colour you wish)
• paper plate
• something to colour with
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper,
• printer.

Directions:

• Paint the bottom of the paper plate blue or grey (or whatever colour you would like to use).
• Print out the template of choice.
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. Most of the pieces are simple enough shapes for young children to cut out.
• Using the template piece as a guide, cut off the bottom quarter of the plate.
• Glue the pieces to the plate to make a whale:
  • Glue the triangle on the bottom of the plate and the leftover piece of plate to the tip of the triangle to form a tail. You might want to add a piece of thin cardboard to the back of the tail to make it a bit less floppy.
  • Glue the water spout onto the top of the head.
  • Glue the eye onto the edge opposite the tail.
  • Draw a mouth under the eye (the template has an example of what the mouth might look like).
