Happy Thursday friends! I’m so excited to be sharing yet another kid friendly craft that goes along great with one of our favorite children’s books. This Paper Plate Bug Kid Craft goes along perfectly with the hilarious beginner book Because A Little Bug Went Ka-Choo! by Dr. Seuss (writing under the name Rosetta Stone)

Just like the story in the book, we had a chain of events of reading it together and finishing it off with a kid friendly craft in honor. This paper plate craft is not only adorable and super simple for young children – but it’s also REALLY inexpensive when it comes to the supplies.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t suffer the consequences of not getting crafty today. Grab those supplies and get to work with your child ASAP. Don’t forget to read the book in honor of your crafty adventure! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Yellow Tissue Paper
* White/Orange/Tan/Black Cardstock
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler
* Black Pipe Cleaner

Directions:

* First cut your yellow tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue on it. 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 other bug features. Think wings, stripes, eyes, nose etc.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Bug Kid Craft – staple/glue on the cardstock pieces, as well as bending the pipe cleaner and stapling it on for the antennas. Then display proudly!
