Unleash your child’s inner artist! With just a few simple supplies, you and the kids can work together to create this amazing paper plate tiger craft!
Paper Plate & Tissue Paper Tiger
It’s been awhile since I’ve shared a book themed post on the Glued To My Crafts blog, so today I’m fixing that with our Paper Plate Tiger craft tutorial!
On a recent trip to Target, I came across the book Tiger In My Soup by Kashmira Sheth. Of course it inspired a craft in me and had to come home with us!
“Sometimes it’s almost impossible to get your big sister to read your favorite book to you. Sometimes you have to go to great lengths even to get her attention! But if you’re really creative and use your imagination, you might just get what you want. Take care, though, not to go too far. Once you conjure up a tiger, there’s no telling where it might lead…”
Not only is today’s paper plate tiger craft idea super simple, inexpensive and fun for all ages – but it also ties everything together with the awesome story above. You can easily make a full afternoon out of it as you celebrate some crafty time, as well as story time together!
So what are you waiting for? Don’t let the tiger “eat” your creative juices! Grab those simple craft supplies and follow my step-by-step animal craft tutorial below to let the “tiger making” fun begin! I just know you are going to have so much fun!
