- Large Paper Plate
- Green Tissue Paper

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.

- 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!
