Directions for Finding Dory Craft

Step 1

After gathering supplies, invite your child to flatten the cupcake liners. To make Dory, we used 2 blue cupcake liners and 1 yellow cupcake liner.

Step 2

Begin by cutting one blue and yellow cupcake liner into right triangles. The yellow triangle should be slightly smaller and fit inside of the blue one (use a small dot of glue to attach them together). Now you have Dory’s fin!

Step 3

Next, glue 1 entire blue cupcake liner down to a piece of paper to create the body of Dory. Place the fin onto Dory’s body with a small dot of glue.

Step 4

Next cut the rounded edges off of the rest of the yellow cupcake liner. Glue it to the back of Dory to create her tail fin.

Step 5

Finish making Dory by gluing down a wiggly eye and creating a smile on her face with the black marker.

Step 6

To create the seaweed, simply cut green cupcake liners and scrunch them together. This is great fine-motor practice for small hands!

Step 7

Complete the picture by gluing it onto a larger sheet of construction paper to frame it.
