Paper Plate Snowman Sleigh - Kid Craft

Looking for a fun and easy way to get into the Christmas spirit? This paper plate snowman sleigh kids craft idea is perfect! All you need are some simple supplies and you can have this cute creation made in no time. So why wait? Get started today!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
  • Craft Scissors
  • Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil or Pen
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Gray Cardstock Paper
  • Sharpie Markers
  • School Glue
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First things first – grab your scissors and large paper plate. Cut the plate in half, straight up. Save one half for today’s craft and put the other aside for a rainy day!
  • Now that you have your paper plate half, you will want to cut a slight curve out on the straight edge side, that will give the paper sleigh more definition. Think of Santa’s sleigh and where we sits when you are cutting. Just don’t cut too much off {in that case – the second paper plate half piece will come in handy!}
  • Let’s get to the paint step! Squirt a small amount of paint on the paper plate half and have children use a paint brush, to move the paint all around until the piece is completely covered. Set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Next grab the white cardstock, pencil and scissors. Trace your child’s hand on the paper. Now trim that out with scissors. Use the black cardstock and various Sharpie markers to give each finger a “snowman” look. Set aside.
  • Now grab the gray cardstock. Cut out the bottom of the sleigh. Two sticks and the curved part on the bottom.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Handprint Snowman Sleigh – simply staple the gray cardstock pieces in place and add ANY other embellishments you see fit. I added a bow and some glitter glue, but some Christmas stickers would be great too!
  • Then display it proudly for ALL to see throughout the season!

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!
