Clown Craft Supplies:

* Glitter Cardstock {we used shades of red, orange and green}
* Kid Friendly Paper Scissors

* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Kid Friendly Paper Scissors

Directions:

* First things first – grab your paper plate, pom poms and the thick tacky glue.
* Make a good layer out glue where you want the clown’s hair to be.
* Lay the pom poms, in a line, on top of the glue.
* Set it aside.
* Next up – grab your sheets of paper and scissors.
* Cut out clown features from the glitter cardstock – large triangle hat, big red nose etc.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Clown Kid Craft – staple/glue on the cardstock pieces and wiggle eyes in their designated spots on the paper plate & finish off by drawing on a smile with the black Sharpie marker.
* At this point, you can add other embellishments you see fit to give your clown that one-of-a-kind look!
* Be sure to allow your glue to try completely before you move it!
* Then display proudly for all to see!
