  • Paper Plate(s)

Steps

  • Step 1

    Watch out! This eel is "electrifying!" To make your eel, just cut out the center of a paper plate with Crayola Scissors. Use the center part to make the eel’s head and tongue. Color them with Crayola Twistables. Attach the tongue to the head with Crayola School Glue.

  • Step 2

    Cut the outer rim of the plate in half on an angle to create pointed tips. Use your imagination to color the fluted edges of the rim with bright, contrasting colors.

  • Step 3

    Arrange the two outer rim pieces into a slithery eel-shaped "S" and glue together. Glue the head and tongue to the eel’s body. Air-dry the eel before you shock anyone!
