Paper Plate Red Hen Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Red Tissue Paper
* Orange/Red/Blue/White Cardstock
* School Glue
* Craft Scissors
* Stapler
* Sharpie Marker

Directions:

* First cut your red tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over 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 Little Red Hen’s facial features from the cardstock. Think eyes, beak, hat etc.
* To finish off the Little Red Hen 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!}
