This creative monster truck craft is perfect for kids of all ages! It’s easy to make and fun to play with, plus it’s a great way to use up some leftover paper plates.
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
- Craft Scissors
- Cardstock Paper
- Glue Stick
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
- Large Scallop Paper Punch
- Large Circle Paper Punch
- Large Craft Foam Egg Shape
Directions:
- First things first – envision your paper plate like a pie. Cut off a small triangular section from your paper plate, to give a more defined look of the bed of the truck and it’s cab. Discard the small piece you just cut off.
- Set aside the large paper plate piece.
- Next up – grab all your paper pieces, paper punches and your scissors.
- Cut out a beak, large wheels, window, the hen’s comb, waddle and anything else you can think of.
- Now go ahead and staple and/or use the glue stick to secure them in the designated spots on the paper plate piece you made earlier.
- When everything is in place, grab the craft foam egg shape, decorate it and staple it to the back of the monster truck, so it looks like it’s being taken for a ride.
- Don’t forget to either draw or add a sticker friend, in the window/front seat of the truck!
- Finally – if desired, add anything else you like for that custom look, before displaying proudly for all to see!
