Paper Plate Elephant & Piggie

Paper Plate Elephant & Piggie - Kid Craft

Paper Plate Piggie & Elephant Story Time Craft

Have you seen all the kid crafts we have been doing and sharing on Glued To My Crafts, that are centered around our favorite children’s book?

Well – continuing on with the fun story-time theme on the blog, today I have another EASY kid craft idea that goes along great with one of our favorite piggie and elephant book series by Mo Williems.

Not only is today’s Paper Plate Elephant & Piggy Kid Craft super simple, adorable and really inexpensive BUT it also goes along perfectly with the Elephant & Piggy series by Mo Williems {our personal fav being – Waiting Is Not Easy!}

So what are you waiting for? Grab your craft supplies, follow the step by step tutorial below and get to work on making your own book characters from paper plates! Don’t forget to raid your local library so you have some books to read in honor of you adorable creations!

Happy crafting my friends! If you don’t mind, come share pictures of your finished paper plate Elephant and Piggie creations on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts
