Paper Plate Baker – Eric Carle Book Inspired Kid Craft Idea

Eric Carle is another best seller children’s book author that a lot of people recognize these days {probably the most famous being for The Very Hungry Caterpillar} His collage illustrations in his books have always drawn me in and I just love the stories inside of them as well. They are probably my favorite to read with little man.

On that note, you will be seeing a few more kid crafts in the near future on Glued To My Crafts, that are inspired by his beautiful books. Today I just so happen to be focusing on this paper plate baker craft that goes along perfectly with the book Walter Baker.

The baker themed book starts off with a dilemma but ends with a twist {literally!} Fortunately for you – there are no dilemmas or twists to today’s kid friendly craft. Just simple craft time that is fun for all ages and really inexpensive too!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and get to work asap! Then grab the book afterwards {maybe a pretzel or two} and celebrate together in style! I just know that our baker craft idea and the Eric Carle book MIXED together, will bring you tons of fun in your home!

Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate and tissue paper baker with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
