Paper Plate Cotton Candy Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one per craft}
* Bag of White Cotton Balls
* School Glue
* Craft Paint {I used pink}
* Paint Brush
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Colored Cardstock
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
optional – colorful loose craft glitter

Directions:

* First things first – have children COVER their large paper plate completely in cotton balls. The more the merrier!
* Once those are in place, squirt some paint on top of the cotton balls {do a swirl or two} and have children spread it around a bit to give the cotton balls some color. Sprinkle some glitter on top of the wet paint if desired.
* While they are working on that, cut out a simple cone from your cardstock.
* To finish off the Pretend Paper Plate Cotton Candy craft, staple your newly made cone to the covered paper plate.
* Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly!

Think of the special bond you will have with your child while making crafty memories!
