Who knew that a little idea of mine last year would turn into one of my most POPULAR posts to date! I’m talking about my “Daddy’s Grilling Partner” post and today I’m “tweaking” it to give it new life again!!!

Our Paper Plate Grill kid craft idea is something you can make on the fly this summer but also gift to dad this upcoming Father’s Day holiday. Heck – you can even do this DIY activity with the kids during a BBQ party or just because to keep them busy on a rainy day!

You aren’t limited on this idea either! Change up the colors to suit you or even add scrapbook stickers to the paper plate to make it custom gift to the lucky receiver! I just hope it keeps the creative juices flowing this summer season!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished handprint flame and paper plate grill on our Facebook page to admire this summer! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Grill Craft Supplies:

• Large Paper Plate – one per grill craft
• Blue Craft Paint
• Foam Paint Brush
• Cardstock {we used orange, red and blue}
• Paper Craft Scissors
• School Glue
• Hand-Held Office Stapler
• Marker or Pencil

Directions:

• First cut your paper plate in half.
• Reserve one half for today’s craft and save the other for a rainy day.
• Next paint your paper plate “grill” piece completely blue with the craft paint & paint brush.
• Set aside.
• Grab your orange cardstock, writing utensil and scissors.
• Trace/trim out your child’s handprint. This will be the flame on the grill.
• With the remaining cardstock, cut out other grill embellishments {like the grill stand, a spatula, hot dog, etc.}
• To finish the Paper Plate Grill kid craft, staple/glue your cardstock pieces to the paper plate.
• Then display proudly! {if desired – add scrapbook stickers that say “daddy’s grilling partner” to the paper plate piece.}
