Paper Plate Max - Where The Wild Things Are Craft Idea For Kids

Where The Wild Things Craft

Hi my crafty friends! It’s that time of the month again! The Kids Craft Stars and I are joining forces to bring you our MONTHLY craft challenge post. Every month we have a challenge between us bloggers to in-cooperate a different craft medium or theme into a simple kid craft tutorial. This month’s challenge was to create something centered around our favorite children’s books and as you know – this is one of my favorite themes on the blog!

So without further ado – today I present to you my simple and inexpensive Paper Plate Max kids craft tutorial that goes along PERFECTLY with the book, Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.

If you would like to make this easy and affordable kid craft with your child today, check out the full tutorial below. Plus there are also links to the other bloggers participating in this challenge, so be sure to click around!

Happy crafting my friends! Please don’t forget to also share pictures with us after your child completes this craft! You can ALWAYS tag us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing. I can’t wait to see their paper plate wild things craft in action! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:

  • First cut your white tissue paper into small squares. Set them aside.
  • Take the paper plate and have children paint the center of it with the tan paint.
  • Now put a good amount of glue around the rim of the paper plate and have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
  • While they are working on that, cut out the facial features of Max {use the book as an example}
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Max 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!}
