Let’s go team! Have some fun with the kids this weekend and make a paper plate baseball craft that pairs along perfectly with a Pete The Cat book!
Baseball Craft Made From Paper
Everybody play BALL!!!
Although I’m personally not a big fan of baseball – I am however a BIG fan of today’s super simple Paper Plate Baseball craft idea!
Paired with one of my son’s new favorite books {Pete The Cat : Play Ball! by James Dean} it’s the perfect excuse to knock some story time and craft time right out of the ball park!
Pete the Cat is ready to play baseball! Pete’s team, the Rocks, is playing the Rolls. But when the game doesn’t go Pete’s way, what will Pete do?
So what are you waiting for? Be a good sport and grab the supplies listed below so you can get to work on this “strike out” craft today! Don’t forget to read the book in honor of your “groovy” creation and be sure to find the perfect spot to show it off too!
Happy crafting {and reading} with your child today!!!

Get the team ready! Turn some paper plates into baseballs for an easy and fun craft the whole family will love!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
- White Tissue Paper
- Red Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Craft Scissors
Directions:
- First things first – cut your tissue paper into small squares.
- Next put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate.
- Have children place the white tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered.
- While they are working on that, cut out some stripes from the red cardstock paper, for the iconic red laces/stitching on the baseball.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Baseball kids craft – simple glue the cardstock paper pieces on the paper plate.
- Then display proudly for all to see! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
