Paper stingray craft

Paper stingray craft

This cute paper stingray craft was perfect for my ocean obsessed son, making them is a great way to kill an hour and then they provide many more hours of fun as a cute handmade toy. The best part is these little stingrays are so simple to make and only requires cheap basic materials too!

Here’s what we used

  • Coloured card
  • Clean Toilet roll tube
  • Sticker eyes
  • Red marker
  • Scissors
  • Glue

How to make this paper stingray craft

Take your stingray coloured paper and cut out a circular shape with a slightly narrower curve on one side to make the nose.

Add some double sided tape to the top part of the toilet roll and stick the paper onto the toilet roll so that the roll is beneath the nose and stretching down the body

Cut out a long thin point to make the stingrays tail and then stick it in place on the underside of the stingray’s body.

Add two eyes and a cute smiley mouth to the nose of your stingray.

And then finally add any optional decorations; we cut out several spots and glued them onto ours! Once totally dry the stingrays are finished and are ready to be played with or displayed!
