Paper Plate Strawberry {Kid Craft}

Did you know that May is National Strawberry Month?

That means strawberries are in season and are going to be popping up everywhere in your grocery stores, on your table & even on your Pinterest feed!

This makes my heart happy because I personally LOVE strawberries. Whether in a yummy dessert or on their own – I can eat them all day. It’s a sweet reminder that summer is on it’s way!

Another thing I love? Doing easy crafts with my son. It’s the perfect excuse to grab some supplies and sit down for some “us” time. Recently we did this Paper Plate Strawberry themed craft together {in honor of National Strawberry Month} and it’s what I’m sharing with you all today.

Though it’s not as tasty as the real thing – it’s still fun! So find the full tutorial below! Happy crafting, my dear friends!

Paper Plate Strawberry Craft Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate {one per craft}
* Red Construction Paper
* Brown Construction Paper
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Black Marker
* Stapler
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue

Directions:
* First trim your paper plate, to look like a triangle/pizza slice. This is the body of the strawberry.
* Next – using a black marker, have your child make dots all over their red construction paper.
* Cut your red construction paper into 1×1″ squares.
* Put a good layer of glue on the paper plate.
* Have your child stick their red squares on the paper plate, until completely covered. Let dry completely.
* Using the green paint, make handprints on the brown construction paper. Let dry and cut out.
* Staple the handprints to the top of the “strawberry” to complete the craft!
* Then display your finished paper plate strawberry proudly for ALL to see!

This idea is also perfect to turn into a carrot {see above pictures!!!}
