If you’re looking for a fun and easy craft idea for kids, look no further than this paper plate unicorn!

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate {one per unicorn craft}
Single Handle Hole Punch
Colorful Tye Dye Yarn
Basic Craft Scissors
Cardstock Paper {I used white, gold & pink}
School Glue
Hand-Held Office Stapler
Black Sharpie Marker
Large Googly Eyes {two per unicorn craft}

Directions:

First things first – have children hole punch FIVE holes {a small section of space between each} on the rim of their paper plate.
Once done, set aside the plate.
Now grab your yarn and cut THREE 5″ inch strands of yarn per hole punch on the paper plate {15 strands total for each unicorn}
Go ahead and thread/tie three stands together in each hole punched hole. This will be the unicorns hair.
At this point in time you can also trim down the hair if you like {or add more yarn if desired!}
Next grab your cardstock. Cut out a unicorn horn, two ears and mouth out of the cardstock.
To finish off the Paper Plate Unicorn, have children staple/glue their cardstock pieces and wiggle eyes to the paper plate.
Now add other embellishments you see fit to give your unicorn a custom look.
Then display proudly for all to see!
