Paper Plate Thing 1 & 2 Craft Supplies:

* TWO Large or Small White Paper Plates
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Blue/Red/White Colored Cardstock
* Scissors
* Pencil
* Stapler/Glue Stick
optional – sparkles, glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First grab your TWO white paper plates and black Sharpie marker. Draw on a simple silly face to the center of each paper plate. Set aside.
* Now grab your blue cardstock, pencil and scissors. Trace both of your child’s hands onto the blue cardstock. Trim out each piece with the scissors.
* With the remaining cardstock {red and white} cut out TWO simple RED rectangles for the bodies of Thing 1 & 2, as well as TWO circles from the white. Take the black marker and write 1 & 2 on the white circles.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Things 1 & 2  – have children staple and glue their paper pieces in place {the handprints are the hair element of your craft} as well as any other embellishments {like rhinestones and more glitter} where they see fit. Then display proudly!
