* Basic Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Green Cardstock {affiliate link}
Directions:
* Using our picture above as an example, cut off two small sections off your paper plate to look like a mermaid tail Discard the extra pieces. A good way to describe this step is to cut your paper plate to look like a carrot.
* Now you are ready for the scales! Have children place their color coding labels ALL over the paper plate, until it’s completely covered. They can layer them, make a pattern etc. Whatever they like on this step!
* To finish off the Polka Dot Mermaid Tail – cut out TWO fins from the green cardstock and staple it to the paper plate piece.
* Then display proudly!!!
