Directions:

First print out the FREE dinner plate template above. You will want one plate printable per kid & craft.
Next grab your scissors. Trim out the plate from the printable, as well as the circular center from it. Discard excess paper.
Now grab your clear contact paper. Cut out TWO pieces that are bigger than the dinner plate cutout.
Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper. Lay it on a flat surface. Place the plate cutout, face down, on the contact paper.
Next have children decorate the inside of their dinner plate however they like, with pictures from the various sales flyers. Remember – it’s whatever THEY want or like to eat!
Once they are done “mixing” and making the perfect plate, grab the second piece of contact paper.
Peel off the backing and place it on top of the other piece of contact paper, moving your hand around to “squish” everything together.
To finish off the Mixed Media Thanksgiving Meal craft, use your scissors to trim out the plate/remove the excess contact paper, so you can attach it to the center of another single sheet of cardstock paper for the place mat. From there, grab your markers and draw on a fork and spoon, on each side of the plate.
And that’s it! Display proudly for all to see!!!
