Paper Plate Animals

Paper plate animal crafts have always been a favourite in our house.

Create your favourite animal on a paper plate.

In the past we have made a tortoise, hare/rabbit, frog (at school), butterfly and lion.

Use paint, felt tips, crayons or pieces of paper and glue or stickers, feathers, sequins etc

You could read a favourite animal story then make the animal character. Use the animal plate to act out the story.

Eg Read The Hare and the Tortoise - make tortoise and hare, then you could act out the story.

Tortoise - We made the tortoise sticking on coloured paper for the shell and coloured card for the head, feet and tail.

Read The Selfish Tortoise - make the tortoise.

Hare - We made the hare sticking on coloured paper for fur, teeth, nose, ears and whiskers.

Frog - Fold plate in half and paint. Cut out hand print for feet. Add a party blower for the tongue.

Butterfly - Cut plate into butterfly shape and stick on sparkly sequins and shapes, we felt tipped on the plate and stuck on coloured feathers. We used a pipe cleaner with small pompoms for antenna.

Lion - We used coloured paper to stick on then drew round hand and cut out lots of hand shapes for mane, then drew face in black crayon.

You can search online for animal paper plate crafts. Here's a link to a website with lots of ideas. Kids Activities Blog.
