- Colorful Tye Dye Yarn
- Basic Craft Scissors

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!
