Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies! You’ll need brown, white, and black construction paper, scissors, glue, a pencil, and a marker.
Step 2: Cut Out the Pieces
Trace and cut out your child’s hand on brown paper. This will become the walrus’s head and flippers.

Step 3: Glue On the Eyes
Glue the white eyes onto the top of the brown handprint.
Step 4: Draw the Pupils
Use a black marker to draw black pupils in the center of the white eyes.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheeks and Tusks

Place the black nose at the top center of the cheeks.
Step 7: Attach the Face
Glue the assembled cheeks and tusks onto the handprint just below the eyes.
