* White Tissue Paper {affiliate link}
* Black Cardstock
* White Cardstock {affiliate link}
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue
* Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:

* First grab your paper plate and scissors.
* Cut a small straight section off, about 1/4th of the paper plate, to create the skull shape.
* Discard excess paper plate piece.
* Now grab your school glue and put a good amount ALL over the paper plate.
* Have children cut the white tissue paper into small squares and then lay them on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out some eyes, a small heart nose and teeth from the black & white cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Skull Kid Craft – glue the eyes and nose in place, while stapling the teeth where you cut off some of the paper plate.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly!
