"Noah's Ark" made using two paper plates; it will hold a paper animal menagerie and Noah's family of course! |
You will need the following supplies to make this ark craft: two paper plates, a stapler, magic markers, scissors and white school glue.
Step-by-Step Instructions:- Draw a line through the center of the first paper plate. Color the lower half black and the upper half with the top of the ark, sky and rainbow.
- Cut the second paper plate in half exactly and put the upper portion away for a future paper plate craft. You will only be using the bottom portion to complete this ark "pocket."
- Turn the pocket over and color the back side of it so that once the ark has been colored and assembled there will be a distinctive pocket.
- Cut three identical portholes for the side of the ark.
- Next draw and color in the ark's hull a wood pattern just like the topsides.
- On the rim of the paper plate draw and color water waves.
- Squeeze out a thin line of white school glue around the lower pocket and then also staple it around the edges of both paper plates to create a pocket for paper dolls and/or finger puppets.
- The dark interior of the ark should "show" through the portholes if you have attached the pockets correctly.
- You may wish to attach a string on the back of your paper plate ark pocket just behind the rainbow so that a child may hang it from a hook or nail in the wall of their room.
