Where did I first see paper plate sculptures? I feel like they were the rage several months ago in the kid blogger network, but in spite of us having literally thousands of kids activities on here, we had yet to build with plates!
Time to see what we were missing out on!
Paper Plate Sculpture Building
These are super colorful and fun! How can you not want to build with them?
You will need a nice stack of paper plates. Paint them for extra fun!
*Note: While the "economy" plates work well, the reinforced plates are even better. If you are using the thin plates, add some tape to your fun.*
How to build with paper plates
Cut 4 slits into your plate, top, bottom, and sides.
Now that you have your discs you will want to flatten them.
Your plates are ready to build with!
Aren't DIY toys, using supplies that do not require a special trip to the store the best?
This just might be one of the cheapest toys my kids have ever made.
It's a bit tricky, so my younger preschoolers made "snakes" with the plates, chaining them together. The older kids mastered the "stacking" in no time.
Probably a good hour of cutting, building, taping. The bigger the better!
