Paper Plate Dandelion Art - Kid Craft

Encourage your child’s creativity and have fun together with this simple arts and crafts project.

Craft Supplies:

  • Small White Paper Plate – 1 per flower craft
  • Black Marker/Crayon
  • Scissors
  • Cardstock Paper
  • School Glue
  • Bug Stickers

Directions:

  • First things first – grab your small white paper plate and black crayon/marker {you can also use black paint on this step!}
  • Draw a small to medium sized circle in the center of the paper plate.
  • Then draw a thin line around the rim of the paper plate.
  • Next up – grab the scissors and cut thin strips, along the paper plate rim, into the center, but not passing the circle in the center of the plate. You don’t want to go straight up the paper plate and cut it in half {hopefully this makes sense!} You just want to make small strips that will later look like the “white part” of the dandelion.
  • Once the paper plate strips are cut, use your fingers to slightly curl a few of them to give the “dandelion” some dimension. Set aside.
  • Next – grab your drawing device and colored cardstock.
  • Draw a simple thin stem for the dandelion.
  • Now grab the school glue and finished paper plate piece.
  • Glue it to the cardstock piece, on top of the drawn on stem.
  • Finally – take your choice of drawing device and draw a few “seeds” coming from your dandelion head.
  • At this point in time you can also add a few bee or bug stickers around the finished design.
  • When done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Then display your Paper Plate Dandelion Art proudly for ALL to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
