Hi my crafty readers! It comes as no surprise {seriously – it’s no secret around here} but I absolutely LOVE sharing with you all my kid friendly craft tutorials that go along perfectly with some of our favorite children’s book. So you better believe that today I’m SUPER excited to be adding another crafty idea to the blog archives. Today’s blog post is titled Paper Plate Pizza and it’s gooey goodness goes perfectly along with the book – Secret Pizza Party by Adam Rubin.

Not only is the book a great read for children {you learn how the raccoon pulls off the perfect secret pizza party} but the craft itself is tons of fun and super easy for children of all ages. Paired together with the book {and perhaps some real pizza} it’s the perfect way to celebrate the afternoon away!

So what are you waiting for? This Paper Plate Pizza isn’t going to make itself!!! Follow my step-by-step tutorial below and let the fun begin!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Pizza Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Yellow Tissue Paper
* Red Cardstock
* School Glue
* Craft Scissors
* Brown Craft Paint
* Paint Brush

Directions:

* First have children paint the edge of the paper plate brown, to represent the crust of the pizza.
* Next cut the yellow tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Now take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue in the center of the plate. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the center is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out some circles from the red cardstock, to represent the pepperoni.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Pizza craft – have children glue on the pepperoni pieces in random spots on the paper plate. Then display proudly!
