Paper Plate Crafts: Cute Doggy

Kids Activities Blog http://ift.tt/1C4AjCs

Do you have a stack of paper plates just begging for a crafternoon? Kids love to make paper plate crafts because there are just so many possibilities! Today we are going to turn one into a cute puppy dog.

Paper Plate Crafts: Puppy Dog

While my dog is tan and brown, you can pick whatever color you like. If you prefer not to paint, use crayons to color your paper plates instead.

Supplies are very minimal for this project!

You will need:

• 1 paper plate


• Paint: tan, brown, black, red


• 1 googly eye


• TOOLS: tape, white glue, scissors


• Dog pattern

• Cut the paper plate in half.


• Use the pattern to cut the shape of the dog’s body from one half of the plate.


• Paint the body tan.


• Paint the piece you cut from the body tan. Also, paint each end of that piece, one end red, the other end brown (to be used for the tongue and ear).


• Paint the center of the second half of the plate tan.


• When dry, use the patterns to cut the pieces (brown = ear, red = tongue, tan = tail & head).

• Attach the ear to the head (roll a piece of tape sticky side out) and tape the tongue to the back of the head.


• Use the handle end of a paintbrush dipped in black paint to add the nose. Alternatively, you could use a black marker or a black pom pom.

• Use a black marker to draw on the paws.


• Use brown paint to add spots on the dog’s back and tail.


• Let everything dry completely.

I hope you had fun making this cute puppy dog from a paper plate! If you liked this, you might want to try my paper plate cat too!

Make a Bubble Wrap Runway

hands on : as we grow http://ift.tt/1NGQYkh

I buy most of my stuff online. I’m a huge Amazon.com Prime fan (that’s an affilliate link if you’re interested in getting it, it doesn’t cost you any more).

I don’t get bubble wrap in our packaging as often anymore. Which is a good thing, I suppose.

We do get it every once in awhile though and when we do, its a special treat. We did this activity a couple of years ago actually (sorry I’m slow to sharing it).

Next time you get it, tape it down to the floor for a fun runway!

The kids drove their vehicles on it, popping the bubbles as they went.

Or just used their fingers, because that’s always fun too!

And of course, run, run run! Run along it, popping all the bubbles under your feet. What a fun sensory experience!

Just don’t go throwing it away next time you get it. Bring it out and have a little fun!
