This is a great project for small kids.

Supplies:

   Paper Plate

  Strips of Crepe Paper

  Glue

  Googly Eyes

Cut the crepe paper into strips Cut the paper plate in half. Have your child paint their half of the plate however they may choose. Flip the plate over and along the entire straight edge apply a line of glue. Allow your child to place the strips as they choose, they may want to place some higher than others and if they want to layer just add more glue let them be creative. Flip plate back over apply the googly eyes and that's it you now have a squid!

Since you have an unused half of the plate do the project along  with your child this is helpful with smaller children as they can see what your doing and they'll want to do it to.
