Paper Plate & Paint Splat Airplane Craft

Who knew paper plates and paint could create such an awesome craft?! Let’s get creative and have some fun making this colorful “airplane in the sky” idea!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Airplane Printable – on our landing page
  • Large Paper Plate
  • Tulip Puffy Paint {in two shades of blue}
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First fold your paper plate in half. Straight up the center.
  • Unfold the paper plate and squirt some paint on one side of the plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint close to the middle of the plate.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your piece of paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your design nicely.
  • Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “blue sky” design.
  • If desired, sprinkle loose craft glitter on top of the wet paint.
  • Set aside your piece for a bit.
  • Now grab your printable. Cut out ONE of the airplane shapes for your craft.
  • To finish the Puffy Paint Airplane craft – glue your cardstock airplane to the center of the painted piece.
  • And that’s it! Then set aside to let it dry completely before you display it proudly for ALL to see.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. 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!
