Looking for a fun and easy craft idea for kids? These paper plate race cars are perfect for any occasion!

Craft Supplies:

Paper Plates
Tissue Paper
Cardstock Paper
Craft Scissors
Hand-Held Office Stapler
School Glue
Craft Glitter or Glitter Glue
Race Car Stickers and Embellishments

Directions:

First things first – grab your paper plate and scissors.
Cut it in half, straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces. This will make two race car crafts.
Next cut a small section out of each paper plate, to give a more defined “car” look {please see my picture for example}
Now you are ready for paint! Have children cover their paper plate pieces with any color of tissue paper squares they like. This is where the customization part really comes into play!
While children are working on that, go ahead and grab your colored cardstock paper.
Cut out two wheels per car, as well a window, light and any other pieces you might like.
To finish off the Paper Plate Race Cars, glue/staple the cardstock pieces in place on the painted paper plate, as well as race numbers, stickers and glitter glue.
Then allow your race cars creations to dry completely before you display and/or show them off proudly!
