Looking for a fun and easy summer craft? Look no further than this paper plate grill! Kids will love making their own handprint flames.
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
