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

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Single Hole Punch
  • Tye-Dye Craft Yarn
  • Scissors
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Gold Cardstock Paper
  • Pink Cardstock Paper

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 paper.
  • 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!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
