We are not slow-poking around here on Glued To My Crafts! The crafty fun just keeps coming for the new year! Today we are sharing another new kid craft tutorial and we hope you LOVE our Paper Plate Sloth as we much as we do!

Find all the details and supply list below! #gluedtomycrafts

Sloths seem to be making a HUGE impression this Valentine’s Day season. I’ve seen so much cute merchandise the last few days, at various stores, I just couldn’t help myself and had to join the “trend” as well!

As you probably already know, paper plates have always been a HUGE staple in our tutorials throughout the years.

They are readily available at many stores and for a pack of 100, you typically only pay around $5 for the bundle. With that price and that amount of paper plates, the possibilities are simply endless {especially with the help of us here at GTMC!}

Anyways – today’s sloth themed craft idea involves taking a plain paper plate, gray tissue paper and some cardstock to bring it to life. That’s it!

And although sloths are typically slow – this idea is NOT! It’s easy and super fast to recreate. Just cut, paste and admire!

So keep scrolling to see how I pulled together. Then recreate it with your child and share a picture with us on your various social media sites {like Facebook!} using the special brand hashtag #gluedtomycrafts in the description. We just LOVE seeing the inspiration come to life and we hope you join us in the fun!

Happy crafting, my friends! xoxo -Stacey

Paper Plate Sloth Craft Supplies:

• Large Paper Plate {one per sloth craft}
• Gray Tissue Paper
• Kid Friendly Scissors
• Black/White/Pink Colored Cardstock
• School Glue
• Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

• First things first – grab the gray tissue paper and cut a handful of small squares out.
• Grab the paper plate. Covered it entirely in school glue.
• Next, have children place the gray tissue paper squares all over the glue covered paper plate, until it’s completely covered. Once done, set aside.
• Now grab all the cardstock. Out of the white, cut out a heart shape for the sloth’s face. Follow that up by cutting out eyes and a nose from the black & some small “cheeks” from the pink.
• Finally – to assemble the paper plate sloth – have children glue all their cardstock pieces in place on the paper plate. Finish off by drawing on a simple smile with the black Sharpie marker.
• Then set aside to let it dry completely, before displaying proudly for ALL to see!
