Paper Plate Lily Pad w/Handprint Frog

This fun and easy craft idea is perfect for kids of all ages! Let them get creative making a frog out of a paper plate and some handprints.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Green Tissue Paper
  • Medium Sized Circular Paper Doilies
  • School Glue
  • Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Red Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Marker

Directions:

  • First cut a small triangular piece out of your paper plate to give it the shape of the water lily leaf. Discard the cut piece from the paper plate.
  • Next up – cut your green tissue paper into small squares.
  • Put a good amount of glue all over the leftover paper plate piece. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the plate is completely covered.
  • Next take the paper doily and glue it to the center of the decorated paper plate.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Lily Pad craft, trace and cut out a green handprint to make a frog {with tongue!} for the center of the lily pad. Go ahead and glue him to the center of your craft.
  • Then allow it to all dry completely before you display it proudly for all to see!

MAKE IT YOUR OWN TODAY – don’t have a white paper doily in your stash for this water lily craft?! No worries! Swap them out for a white cupcake liner or coffee filter instead! You can also use large googly eyes in place of making your own on the handprint frog.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
