Paper Plate Lorax - Kid Craft

All you need for this kid craft are paper plates, tissue paper, cardstock paper, and a little bit of imagination. So round up the kiddos and get ready for some fun!

Craft Supplies:

  • Paper Plate {one per Lorax craft}
  • Orange Tissue Paper
  • School Glue
  • Yellow Cardstock Paper
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Small Brown Pom Pom {one per Lorax craft}
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Craft Scissors
  • Cute Kid w/Hands

Directions:

  • First cut/tear your orange tissue paper into small squares. {If you don’t have tissue paper, construction paper works well too}
  • Next slather glue all over the paper plate.
  • Place the tissue paper and paper plate in front of your child.  Ask them to cover the entire plate with the tissue paper.
  • Once completely covered, set aside to let it dry.
  • Now comes the fun – making the handprint cutouts. Have your child place their hands on the yellow cardstock.
  • Trace their hands and cut out the handprints.
  • With the left over cardstock, cut out two pieces for the eyebrows of the Lorax.
  • With the white cardstock, cut out two circles for the eyes and add a dot in the center for the pupil.
  • To finish the Paper Plate and Tissue Paper Lorax craft, glue all the pieces onto the tissue paper covered plate. The handprints will be the mustache of the Lorax, while the brown pom pom will be the nose and the smaller yellow cutouts the eyebrows. And you are done!
  • Set it aside, to let it dry completely before you display proudly for ALL to see!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures with us your paper Lorax friend on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
