Suggested Family Activity Paper Plate Crafts
Paper plates (the cheapest you can find!) make great craft supplies. Kids can turn a paper plate into:
A holiday wreath by cutting out the middle of the plate in a circle so that the plate becomes a wreath. If you are not comfortable free handing a circle, use a small plate to draw around to create the opening. Kids can color the wreath a solid color and then decorate it with small artificial flowers, stickers, designs they have drawn on paper and cut out, or any other type of craft supplies you have. The more creative, the better!
You can also turn a paper plate into a Christmas tree by cutting it apart into 3 wedges (imagine a watermelon slice). Glue the wedge pieces on top of each other with the fluted part of the plate pointing down and the pointy piece on the top. Then color the tree green and decorate it with stickers, sequins, beads, and other craft supplies. Kids can also draw ornaments on a piece of paper and cut them out to glue on the tree. Using a piece of brown paper, finish off your tee with a square shaped piece on the bottom for the trunk.
