Cute, fun paper plate craft you’re free to make with the kids!
It can do for a lovely weekend activity for the little ones.
Have you ever thought about how underrated paper plates are as a craft supply?
I certainly have, and this DIY project is my case for using them more!
Combine a 2D summertime scene with 3D flowers for your little ones new favorite wall decoration.
Or maybe youre a preschool teacher in need of your next great activity!
All the supplies youll need for this DIY are easy to find in any home or classroom.
Step 1
Lets start by assembling our tools of the trade.
I switched between markers, paper, and paints.
Step 3
Speaking of coloring, its time to bring the scene to life!
Grab the paint, markers, or paper and use them to fill in the clouds.
Encourage your kids to experiment and be creative with the mediums.
Step 4
Pick up a brush or marker and do the same thing for the land.
Who says plants dont grow on alien worlds?
Step 5
Let there be light!
Thats right, its time to add the Sun.
Step 6
Now, we need to give our plant roots.
This is a great chance to educate them about plants too!
Step 7
Heres where it gets fascinating.
double-check its wide enough for the flowers to fit!
Step 8
Time to create our beautiful flowers.
Your stem will be a popsicle stick, so all you oughta do is make the leaves and blooms.
I find these flowers look best when layered, so experiment to find the right look for you!
If your kids arent the biggest fan of flowers, they can always create any other vegetation.
Encourage them to use their imagination with this one!
Dont glue it in place, though!
Youll see why later.
Step 11
Next up, its time for your little one to add themselves into the mix!
I drew a few examples above and colored them in.
Draw some inspiration from the below (see what I did there?)
or do your own thing.
Its up to you and the little one!
Draw some blue drops coming out of the watering can to complete the look.
So, why is our vegetation on a popsicle stick, and why dont we glue it in place?
Well, thats because this is actually akid craft projectandan educational tool all wrapped up in one!
This is a great way to teach them about how plants grow.
Its a great educational tool!
