I’m rolling with the summer BBQ food theme on Glued To My Crafts and today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Hamburger kid craft idea! #gluedtomycrafts
Paper Plate & Craft Paint Hamburger
Inspired by our super popular Hamburger Friends kid craft tutorial that went live on Glued To My Crafts the other day, today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Hamburger craft idea! It’s just as fun and easy peasy as the one before and pairs nicely with the summer grilling months we are heading into!
Our paper plate and craft paint hamburger kid craft tutorial is perfect for the makers and curious creatives looking for a new, outside the box idea to make with the kids this summer season!
All the required hamburger materials are SUPER SIMPLE to find and rather inexpensive as well, making it great for large crowds at summer camps, family vacations and/or VBS studies!
So don’t delay – “fire up the grill” on your kitchen table right now! Then find all the details you need to know, in the full grilling craft tutorial below!
Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished paper plate hamburger creation on our Facebook page to admire from a far! I can’t wait to see how ooey and gooey awesome it turns out! #gluedtomycrafts
MORE SUMMER CRAFT FUN TO BE HAD TODAY —> Popsicle Stick Food Truck
THE CRAFT SUPPLIES:
Large Paper Plate, Basic Craft Scissors, Tan Craft Paint, Foam Paint Brush, Markers {red, green and yellow}
optional materials for this hamburger bun craft – white puffy paint for the “sesame seeds”
PAIR THIS CRAFT WITH OUR —> Sour Gummy Sprite Popsicles Recipe
THE DIRECTIONS:
First cut out TWO slits on the sides of the paper plate to give a more defined hamburger/bun look {the center will be the meat/condiment section, while the bun is the larger area}
Follow that up by cutting off a small section on the bottom of the paper plate so it really looks like the real thing!
Next grab your markers. You will want brown, yellow, red, green etc. for this step. Simply have children color/draw on “lines” to represent the hamburger meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese etc. in the center section of the paper plate.
Now you are ready for the hamburger buns! Have children paint the leftover paper plate sections with the brown paint. If desired – have them paint on white “sesame seed” dots on the top bun of the craft {we used puffy paint for this step!}
Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying your craft proudly!
Don’t forget to snap a few pictures of your paper plate cheeseburger to share with us on Facebook!
