- Take your paper plate and cut it in half.
- Trim out the center, leaving the rim to create the shape of the banana.
- Next put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate halves.
- Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until they are completely covered.
- While they are working on that, cut out some banana ends from the black cardstock.
- To finish off the Paper Banana kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate.
- Then display proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
