Paper Plate Little Red Riding Hood Craft

PRINT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CRAFT -

This is our children’s book inspired Paper Plate Little Red Riding Hood craft tutorial! Check it out and recreate it after story time!

Paper Plate Little Red Riding Hood - Kid Craft

Little Red Riding Hood Craft

Hi my favorite crafty folks! If you LOVE the classic childhood story of Little Red Riding Hood – you are going to LOVE today’s kid friendly craft idea that is centered around the book, retold by James Marshall.

“A thoroughly modern, thoroughly charming retelling of the old favorite. Witty and direct . . . both Granny and child are swallowed, then rescued intact by the hunter who kills the wolf. . . . A perfect union of words, story, and illustration.”–Kirkus Reviews.

Not only is today’s paper plate kid craft super simple, inexpensive and fun for all ages – but it also ties everything together with the classic “Red Riding Hood” story. 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 wolf “eat” your creative juices! Grab those simple craft supplies and follow my step-by-step tutorial below, to let the fun begin!

Happy crafting, with your child today! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished Little Red Riding Hood paper plate craft by tagging us on Instagram when you are done, so we can admire it from a far! I can’t wait to see her come to life and smiling in your home! #gluedtomycrafts
