CRAFT SUPPLIES:
Before you begin crafting, gather the following materials. Most of these items can be found at your local craft store or within your home craft bin.

- Foam Paint Brush
- Markers {red, green and yellow}
- White Puffy Paint
DIRECTIONS:
Get ready to turn ordinary paper plates into a masterpiece!
- Start by cutting two slits on the sides of a paper plate to create a more defined “hamburger” shape. The center will represent the meat and condiments, while the larger sections will form the bun.
- Trim a small section off the bottom of the plate to give it an authentic hamburger look.
- Grab your markers – use brown, yellow, red, green, and any other colors you need.
- In the center section of the plate, have the kids draw and color lines to represent the hamburger meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and other toppings.
- Now it’s time to work on the buns! Paint the remaining sections of the plate with brown paint to resemble the top and bottom of the hamburger bun.
- For a fun detail, add white “sesame seed” dots on the top bun. Puffy paint works great for this step!
- Let the craft dry completely before proudly displaying your finished paper plate cheeseburger.
- Don’t forget to snap a few photos of your masterpiece and share them with us on Facebook! We’d love to see your creations!
