Paper Plate Peppermint Candy

Looking for a fun (and easy) Christmas craft project to do with the kids? Look no further than this paper plate peppermint candy idea!

Supplies Needed:

  • Paper Plates – large or small {one per peppermint candy craft}
  • Small Paper Plate {to hold the paint}
  • Craft Paint {red or green}
  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • Colored Cardstock Paper {red or green}
  • Pencil or Marker
  • Kid Friendly Scissors
  • Hand-Held Stapler

Directions:

  • First things first – squirt your choice of color of craft paint on a small paper plate.
  • Place a LARGE paper plate in front of your child.
  • Have children decorate their single paper plate however they like with the paint you just put on the smaller plate! We went with a striped pattern {like the iconic peppermint candy look} but honestly, this part is a free-for-all!
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Next grab your red or green cardstock, pencil and scissors.
  • Trace both your child’s hands on the cardstock {a pair per paper plate} and trim out with scissors.
  • To finish off the Handprint Peppermint Christmas Candy craft – staple the cardstock handprints to the paper plate to create the “wrapper” of the candy.
  • Then add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!!!
  • Don’t forget to show off your creations with us! #gluedtomycrafts
