As simple as pie!!! Using just some orange craft paint, a simple paper plate and a little glue – you too can make it with your child in no time. Best part is it’s calorie free and you “make” it over & over again – on the fly & cheap!

Get creative this Thanksgiving with a paper plate pumpkin pie slice craft! Kids will love making and decorating their own festive treat.
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Orange Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- Stapler
- School Glue
- White Poms Poms or Cotton Balls
- Orange Craft Glitter
Directions:
- First cut your paper plate to resemble a pie slice.
- Now have children paint the entire piece completely orange. Set aside.
- While they are working on that, cut some small squares out of your brown cardstock. This will be the “crust” of the piece.
- Once your child is done completely covering the paper plate, staple the brown squares along the edge where the pie crust would be.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Pumpkin Pie Slice, have your child glue/sprinkle the orange glitter on top of their piece to represent “the spice” for the pie and then glue their white pom poms in the center as well {because every pie needs whipped cream!} Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
- And of course you can change out the color of the paint to reflect other pie flavors {red for apple pie or green for key lime pie} Just have fun with it!!
