Paper Plate Easter Scene Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate
* Green Colored Tissue Paper
* Scissors
* Stapler
* School Glue
* Brown/Yellow Cardstock
* Marker
Directions:
* First cut your paper plate in half. This will make TWO Easter crafts. You will only need ONE half per kid. Set aside your paper plate.
* Next grab your green tissue paper. Cut it into small squares and place in a pile.
* Now grab your paper plate half and glue. Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until it’s completely covered. This will represent the grass/hill. Set aside.
* Now grab your cardstock. Out of the brown cardstock, cut out a simple cross. Out of the yellow cardstock, trace your child’s hands and trim out. Discard remaining cardstock.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Easter Scene – staple your cardstock pieces in place on the paper plate. The cross should be in the center and the handprints on the side to represent the sun rising. Then display proudly!!!

As a daycare Mommie, I am always looking for simple yet sentimental crafts for my toddlers to make! The paper plate Easter craft is wonderful! I love doing crafts that teach the true meaning of Christian holidays & also creates a wonderful keepsake for my families! We are making this nice Easter craft today, tweeking it a little as well! I let the kiddos experience finger-painting in place of the tissue squares! We will also color a sheet of paper & then I will cut out crosses for them! I know they will be beautiful! Thanks for the idea!
