Porcupine Pufferfish or "Blaasoppie" in Afrikaans

Hi Sea Fans!

I'm not sure how many of you got to see the YouTube video of the craft that was done the same morning that Heidi did a reading so here it is:

The voice over is in Afrikaans so for those of you who don't understand it, here are a few points:
  • All you need is a paper circle for the body, long narrow triangles of colourful paper or magazine/newspaper, a few squiggly paper strips for the tail, glue, string and two eyes.
  • Follow what the lady is doing and remember to bend the triangles once you've glued them down so that they stick nicely and make the pufferfish look prickly.
  • Don't forget to do both sides.
  • Blaasoppie = Pufferfish........blaas = blow and op = up

Have a great week Sea Fans!
