ONE MORE GRADUATION CRAFT IDEA FROM US: Graduation Dog – I Did It Picture Keepsake

Graduation Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate – one per graduation craft idea
* Skin Tone Tissue Paper
* Colored Cardstock {we used brown and blue}
* School Glue
* Craft Scissors
* Hand-held Office Stapler

Directions:

* First cut your tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it.
* Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out some facial features from your cardstock. Think eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and as well as some hair. Then finish off with a graduation cap.
* To finish off the graduation kid craft – simply glue/staple the cardstock pieces in their designated spots and display proudly {you can even add other embellishments that you see fit!}
