With just a few simple supplies like puffy paint, glitter, and a paper plate, you can create a marbled moon masterpiece that’s out of this world.

Whether it’s a rainy day or a classroom art project, this craft is sure to spark creativity and bring smiles. Let’s dive in and get crafting!

Whether it’s a rainy day activity, a classroom art project, or just a fun way to spend time together, this craft is sure to bring smiles and a touch of cosmic magic. So, grab your supplies, roll up your sleeves, and let’s make some moon magic happen!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Paper Plates – 1 per craft
  • Silver Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Black Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Gold Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Space Themed Stickers
  • Baby Wipe
  • optional materials – loose craft glitter

Directions:

  • Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
  • First fold your paper plate in half {one per moon craft you want to make.}
  • Unfold and squirt some black/silver/gold paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
  • Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “marbled moon” design inside. Sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired to create more texture.
  • To finish the Paint Splatter Moon craft – add your space themed stickers on top.
  • Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
