Here at The Preschool Place, we are ALL about creative play. Anything that gets their imagination running! This activity starts as a little craft, but then turns into a cute prop that your kids will play with for days. It's a total mom win!
What You'll Need:
-Paper Plates
-Scissors
-Colored Paper
-Glue Stick
-Tape
-Sharpie or Pen
-Popsicle Sticks
1: Cut the rim off of the plate and save it for later.
2: Cut out eye holes in the plate.
3: Have your child choose what animal they want to make and what color of paper they would like to use for it!
4: Use the rim of the paper plate to cut out ears and tape those on.
5: Have your child take their desired paper color and rip it up into little pieces. Work on those fine motor skills!
6: Using the glue stick, have your child attach the ripped paper onto the paper plate.
7: Use the sharpie to draw on a mouth and add some fun details to your child's mask!
8: Lastly, use the tape to attach the popsicle stick so that they can hold it up!
*Activity Notes:
-If your child isn't into animals, try making something else! A superhero, a monster, a princess, etc.
-If you don't popsicle sticks, try using a plastic straw or a chop stick!
-These definitely don't have to look perfect. Your kids will just have fun doing it anyways!
