Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Beach Ball - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Beach Ball Craft Idea For Kids

Hi friends! Are you enjoying your summer so far?

If you need a last minute summer craft idea to keep the kids busy when your days aren’t so jammed packed – look no further because today I’m rolling out this paper plate beach ball tutorial and it’s ANOTHER fun simple summer themed kid craft on Glued To My Crafts, that is sure to be a hit in your home {especially with the older kids!}

When I think of summer, I often think of a large, colorful beach ball.

Why you might ask? Well – since I’m not much of a water person {neither is my son} we prefer to spend our lazy summer days on land, usually kicking {or throwing} a ball around.

So if you haven’t guessed – that’s exactly what inspired today’s Paper Plate Beach Ball kid craft tutorial. Using just a simple paper plate, colorful tissue paper and glue, we were able to make our own one-of-a-kind beach ball craft within minutes and you can TOO by following our simple step-by-step tutorial below.

Happy crafting and enjoying your summer, my friends! I can’t wait to see pictures of your paper plate and tissue paper beach ball crafts! #gluedtomycrafts

Tissue Paper & Paper Plate Beach Ball - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Just a simple paper plate, colorful tissue paper & school glue bring this beach ball to life. It’s simply perfect for a summer or camp theme!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Colorful Tissue Paper
  • Cardstock or Construction Paper
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • School Glue
  • Kid Friendly Craft Scissors

Directions:

  • First envision your beach ball and take your marker to outline the different sections for it. I found the easiest way to do this, was to draw a circle in the center of the paper plate and draw curved lines from there.
  • Next is the tissue paper. For each section, cut a small amount of tissue paper into small squares and keep in separate piles.
  • Now place a good amount of glue in each section of the divided paper plate.
  • Have children place their tissue paper on top of the glue, until each section is completely covered and really starts to look like a beach ball {remember to make each section a different color!}
  • To finish the Paper Plate Beach Ball craft, I cut a medium sized circle out of cardstock and glued it to the center of the paper plate {mainly to cover the initial circle I drew for the craft}
  • Then add other embellishments and display your paper beach ball proudly for all to see!
