Directions:

  • First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make TWO halves. This will be the tops of your two cupcakes.
  • Next – tear or cut up your tissue paper into small squares.
  • Take your cardstock and cut two squares out. This will be the base of the cupcake. You can draw lines on it to make it look like a cupcake liner. Then staple the square piece to the bottom of one of your paper plate halves. Your cupcake should start to look like a cupcake.
  • Now is the fun part. Adding the “frosting” to the cupcake. Using a paint brush – slather some glue on the paper plate half. Have your child place tissue paper on the glue, completely covering the paper plate half. Once covered, set aside to let dry.
  • To finish off – have them add some flair to their cupcake. We added a punch out of a heart to the top of ours. You can also had things like glitter, ribbon or sequins for sprinkles, to really dress it up!

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
