Easy Walrus Craft for kids
This week we are learning about the polar region and animals. As part of this unit, we created the Popular Arctic animal, the Walrus. It is pretty easy to make with our Template.

Directions to make walrus with template
Download the printable at the end of the post. It has two versions, one is pre-coloured, and the other has outlines which kids can colour and make the Walrus. I recommend printing on thick Paper like Cardstock.
Cut out each element of the Walrus craft template.
Glue all the pieces together with a paper glue stick. You can leave it as it is or create a background of the Arctics.
Paste a White foam sheet or white Paper about one-third of the width on a blue cardstock paper. This represents snowy land near the sea. We also added some foam Ice Blocks on the sea and some waves with white chack.
