This easy craft idea for kids is perfect for a rainy day! All you need is some paper plates, paint, and glue.
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Scissors
- Craft Paint or Paint Crayons
- Cardstock Paper
- Horse Printable – on our landing page
- Small Googly Eyes
- Stapler
Directions:
- First grab your large paper plate and scissors,
- Cut the paper plate in half, straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces.
- Now carefully cut out the center portion on each paper plate half. You just want the rim left for each horse craft.
- Next grab your choice of craft medium and decorate the paper plate piece however you like {with polka dots, strips – whatever the heart desires!}
- When you are done with the coloring step, set it aside to let it dry completely.
- Now grab your head print out, along with the scissors.
- Trim out one the horse head shapes.
- Go ahead and decorate it to match your paper plate piece.
- At this point in time you can also cut out a tail from your remaining cardstock paper.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Horse – simply staple the finished head piece in place on the paper plate, as well as the tail on the opposite end.
- Then display proudly for all to see!
