Paper Plate Finding Nemo and Dory Instructions

Step One:

The first thing you want to do is cut a moon shape on one side of your paper plate so that it fits on your child’s head. Don’t throw away this extra piece. Go ahead and cut two fins out of the extra piece of the paper plate. Make sure that when cutting Nemo’s fins that you create one of them to be his “lucky” fin by cutting a bit smaller.

Step Two:

Have your child paint their paper plate and fins orange for Nemo or blue for Dory. Allow drying completely.

Step Three:

While your paint dries you can begin cutting out eyes. Using construction paper we cut circles and glued together for Nemo and Dory’s eyes.

Step Four:

Nemo – Once everything is completely dried paint a white line on the top of the orange visor. Then complete with two thin black lines, one on top and one under the white paint. Draw a black line along the fins. 

Dory – Draw a black triangle on the top of the visor and paint in completely. For her fins use yellow and black on the tip.

Step Five:

Go ahead and glue on your construction paper eyes.

Step Six:

Once everything is completely dried you can now staple your fins on the sides of your paper plate.

Step Seven:

To attach your elastic which will hold the visor on your child’s head, you can either create a hole on each side with a hole puncher tying the elastic or stapling the elastic in place on each side. Finding Nemo Inspired Paper Plate Visor Hat for Kids Dory

This Finding Nemo Inspired Paper Plate Visor Hat for Kids has been one of the best crafts we have made in a while. It took us several days to finish the craft, but the girls have been loving playing outside with their visors! If you use hard paper plates, they are actually pretty sturdy. I think we might have to take these on our next visit to Disney World! Perfect for keeping the sun out of the kid’s faces!

    Terrific craft idea! My daughter is a tad too old for this, but I’m definitely getting my niece and nephew to make these visors. Knowing them, they will wear them and watch the movie yet again on movie night! My daughter loved the HTTYD series. She once made a dragon T-shirt (http://www.schoolofdragons.com/resources/dragon-t-shirt) and wore it until it frayed. There’s just something so appealing about animated movies, that even we parents watch parts of it along with the kids many times over. Small mercies – we don’t paint dragon tees for ourselves!
    Thanks for the lovely craft idea!
