Do you follow us on Instagram? If you do – you may have noticed that I took my lil man on a mommy & me date yesterday to see the movie Paddington {which is super cute, by the way!} So in true fashion and no surprise, we recently did a kid friendly craft in honor of the beloved childhood book & now movie.

This Paper Plate Paddington Kid Craft is SUPER easy, fun for all ages and really inexpensive to pull together {just how we like it around here!} You can find the full step-by-step tutorial below, as well as some links to other kid friendly crafts that go along with our favorite children’s books.

So don’t delay – pull out those supplies and get to work! Watch the movie/read the book in honor and make a whole afternoon out of it!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Tan Tissue Paper
* Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler
* Black Marker
* Tan/Red Cardstock

Directions:

* First cut your tan tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Next put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out Paddington’s facial features out of your cardstock. Don’t forget the iconic hat!
* To finish off the adorable bear kid craft – glue/staple on the cardstock pieces, and draw some eyes on with a black marker. Then display proudly!
