Paper Plate Grill w/Handprint Flame - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Handprint Flame In Paper Plate Grill

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

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!
