CRAFT PROJECTS
Paper Plate Fun
Materials:
paper plates and bowls
markers, crayons, paint
colored construction paper
ribbon
yarn
large-eyed plastic craft needle
pennies or small bells
decorating accessories (flowers, bows, dry pasta)
Tambourine
Put two paper plates together and then punch holes
all the way around the edges (approx. 1" apart). Paint
or color and then decorate the bottom of both plates.
Lay one plate right side up and place a handful of
pennies or small bells in it. Place the other plate
(upside down) on top of it, lining up the punched holes.
Using the craft needle and yarn, lace all the way
around, joining the two plates together. Tie both
ends in a secure knot. Finally, feed 1-1/2' long pieces
of ribbon underneath each "stitch" of yarn and tie in
a slip knot to create steamers.
Mask
Hold a paper plate up to the child's face and mark
where the eyes, nose and mouth stike the plate. Cut
appropriate size holes in these locations. On the back
side of the plate, paint and decorate to create
whatever look you want (cat, dog, monster, etc.)
Punch a small hole on the outer edges of either side
of the plate. Secure a length of ribbon in each hole to
use as ties for the mask.
Hats
Punch small holes on opposite sides of plates or bowls.
Paint and decorate with anything you like, such as
flowers, bows, pasta. Cut construction paper into
different shaped animal ears and attach to the hat.
Thread a length of ribbon through each hole and tie in
a knot to form two straps.
