Continuing on with the theme of children’s books and kid crafts that go along with them – today I’m sharing a kid friendly tutorial that goes along perfectly with the book If You Give A Pig A Pancake by Laura Numeroff. This Paper Plate Pancake {Kid Craft} is not only simple and fun for all ages – but it’s also really inexpensive. All you need is a paper plate, some tissue paper and tons of glue!

So what are you waiting for? Find the easy step-by-step tutorial below, as well as links to other kid crafts that are similar.

Don’t forget to read the coordinating book in honor of the craft and perhaps even cook up some pancakes to celebrate! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Tan Tissue Paper
* Brown/Yellow Cardstock
* Scissors
* Glue

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 the syrup {brown cardstock} and butter {yellow cardstock} for the pancake.
* To finish off the pancake kid craft – glue on the syrup and butter to the center of the paper plate and display proudly!

Another fun thing to make and include with this theme is a Felt Pancake Set. All I did was cut some circles out of tan felt, as well cutting out some syrup {reddish/brown} and butter {yellow} pieces out of felt, as well. Then I combined those pieces with some pretend kitchen items {plastic eggs, frying pan, measuring cups, plates} and gave it to my son so he could cook up some yummy goodness!
