Have you seen all the kid crafts we have been doing, that are centered around our favorite children’s book? Well – continuing on with the fun theme on the blog, today I have another EASY kid craft idea that goes along great with one of our favorite 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. 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!

Supplies:

* Two Small Paper Plates
* Pink/Silver Tissue Paper
* Gray/White/Black/Pink Cardstock
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler
* Sharpie

Directions:

* First cut your silver & pink tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills} Keep colors separate.
* Now take your two paper plates and put a good amount of glue all over them. Have children place the silver tissue paper all over one paper plate and the pink tissue paper on the other, until completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out facial features for Piggie & Elephant {use the book cover as an example on what to cut out}
* To finish off the Paper Plate Elephant & Piggie Kid Craft – simply staple/glue the cardstock pieces to the paper plates and display proudly!

Another fun craft idea to go along with this theme is using cupcake liners! Simply flatten/glue cupcake liners to a sheet of cardstock and add embellishments to give them life!
