Paper Plate Craft Projects
While Ma was trying to come up with what to write her blog on, I decided to jump in and show you a few paper plate craft projects I’ve recently made even though it’s not Friday Story Time by Lia. Maybe Ma will have her ideas by tomorrow!
Kaleidoscope
This is a fun project I found on YouTube. When Ma saw it finished she said it looked like a Kaleidoscope. I started by putting M&M’s all around the edge of the paper plate. Then I carefully poured water in the center until it covered all the M&M’s. As the coating melted off, the colors all mixed together making a cool design. Then I dropped one M&M in the center and watched the chocolate coating disappear. I like finding fun projects to make.
Worm
Last Thursday evening my school had a fun night with three stations. The first was creating a worm from a paper plate. I started by cutting the edge of the plate off from the center. Then I colored it different colors of green. I cut a yellow circle out and glued on the eyes and made a smile. Then I took a pipe cleaner to make the worm’s antennas. Mommy made one from the inside of the plate and she even made a turtle. Ma had fun watching us and taking pictures.
The next one was a reading station where a teacher read us a story and the third station was playing Bingo. I won Bingo twice and got to pick out two books! It was a fun night at school and I love the books I got.
Hopefully Ma will be ready for her own blog tomorrow, if not I have lots more ideas to share!
Ma’s two cents: I didn’t realize today was Earth Day when Lia decided her topic last night. How cool that she has a worm to celebrate Earth Day!
Cute. I like the M&M craft project. The worm was a cool idea also. I love what you’ve been able to create from paper plates! Keep posting!
Paper plates and coffee filters are both great for craft projects Chef Katrina.
I love your creative ideas, Lia! I think that I will try to make a worm to celebrate Earth Day!
Lia loves coming up with new craft ideas Alice!
Ooh, I love the crafts!! Those M&M creations were amazing. And it was neat to see Corduroy again. My son loved it when he was around your age, Lia.
It’s so much fun watching Lia do different crafts Jeanine!
I think you sort of celebrate Earth Day every day in your lovely backyard!
Love the crafts, I’ve seen the M&M Kaleidoscope many times on Pinterest but never actually made it.
Congrats on winning Bingo, too!
Yes you probably could say we do Tamara, love making things from something outdoors.
I love these projects, and M&M’s amazing. Thanks for sharing this project
It was fun watching Lia on this project Linda!
I loved that Lia made some interesting Craft Projects including a worm .A good project.
Lia loves being creative Amrita and even if something doesn’t come out as planned she will changer her thinking and make it into something else.
