Paper Plate Police Car

Paper Plate Handprint Police Car - Kid Craft

Law Enforcement Paper Plate Police Car Craft Idea

I’m calling ALL my crafty mommy friends! Today’s post is for those rough and tumble boys that absolutely LOVE cars and policemen!!!

Today I’m sharing how YOU can make a simple Paper Plate & Handprint Police Car with your child on the fly and have some big smiles afterwards!

This kid friendly craft is completely customizable when it comes to the colors and of course – it’s super easy, inexpensive and fun for all ages! These police cars don’t require fancy tools OR a big wallet either. It’s just plain ole’ simple craft fun, that doubles as a sweet handprint keepsake as well!

So what are you waiting for? Rev up those engines, fight some crime before you grab those craft supplies and “vroom” on by to crafting these up! Find ALL the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished police car made from a paper plate, on our Facebook page wall. This way we can give you BOTH a virtual high five for a great job done! I can’t wait to see what you create! #gluedtomycrafts
