Zebra Paper Plate Craft Instructions

Gather your supplies, including two paper plates.
Cut out two rounded triangle ears, one larger oval nose, and a long triangle for the hair from the edge of one plate.
Paint your long triangle and oval nose black and stripes into the ears and let dry.
Cut fringe onto the long triangle to look like hair and glue onto the top back center of the plate.
Then glue one ear on each side of the hair and the oval mouth onto the bottom center of the plate.
Glue two googly eyes above the nose.
Use a small paint brush to dip into your black paint and paint stripes onto the zebra’s face and let dry.
Use your glue or puffy paint to paint two small dots onto the center of the zebra’s nose and let dry.
Optional – slap a magnet on the bag and hang this guy on the refrigerator!
