Echidna Craft

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Instructions to make a echidna finger puppet out of a paper plate.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Crayons or Paint
  • Glue or Tape
Instructions:
Use paint or crayons to decorate your echidna and make his face. (You can see a picture of an echidna here). Cut a hole big enough for your index finger to fit into in the middle of the paper plate (Where the nose will be). Glue or tape toothpicks around the outside edge of the paper plate. These will be the echidna's spines.

Once the glue is dry, you can stick your finger through the hole you cut and use your echidna as a puppet if you like!
