This paper plate palm tree craft tutorial is perfect for summer or a story time event!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Green Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Wavy Fan Popsicle Stick
  • Stapler
  • Brown/Kraft Cardstock Paper

Directions:

  • First things first – grab your paper plate and the green craft paint.
  • Using the paint brush, paint ONLY the rim of the paper plate, green. Basically it will look like a huge circle.
  • When done, allow the green craft paint to dry completely.
  • Next up, take the scissors and cut your painted paper plate in half. Straight up the center to create TWO equal pieces.
  • Now trim out the “inner” part of each half, leaving only the painted rim.
  • Finish that up by now cutting the TWO paper plate rim pieces in half.
  • You now have FOUR palm tree leaves.
  • Now grab your wavy fan popsicle stick.
  • One by one, STAPLE them to the wavy popsicle stick. You want them to look just like a palm tree.
  • Next up – the coconuts. Grab your cardstock paper and scissors.
  • Cut out two small oval shapes for the coconuts.
  • To finish the palm tree craft, glue the coconut cutouts to the center of the paper plate palm leaves.
  • And that’s it! Allow it to dry completely before you play and/or display proudly!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
