Surf Board Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate – one per surf board craft
* Any Color of Tissue Paper {I used yellow}
* Blue Colored Cardstock Paper
* Washi Tape
* Hawaiian Flower Stickers {I found mine at Dollar Tree}
* School Glue
* Paper Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

* First draw/cut out your surf board shape from a paper plate. I just imagined an eye/football shape and went from there.
* Next cut your tissue paper into your small squares.
* Put a good layer of glue all over the paper plate and have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out some “waves” from the blue cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Surf Board craft, add your embellishments {washi tape for stripes & flowers} and staple the paper plate piece to the cardstock waves.
* Then display proudly for all to see!!!
