Paper Plate Sloth In Pumpkin

Brown Sloth In Paper Plate Pumpkin Craft

At Glued To My Crafts we just can’t stop with the new ideas! We are brewing up yet ANOTHER easy fall art project idea for our lovely readers to recreate with their children, this season. This time, it’s a paper plate pumpkin w/an adorable sloth inside! You could make him either sleeping or awake like mine 🙂

For everything you love and more this autumn season, we hope this idea is one you add to the bucket list. Hopefully you see my vision of a sloth hiding inside a pumpkin and want to join your child in the crafting fun, as well. It’s #cutenotscary and kids {and adults} can recreate it with just a few steps like cutting & gluing. Plus you don’t need to go crazy on the supply list either. A simple paper plate and cardstock paper will do!

We have all the details listed below, to help you navigate this “peeking sloth in pumpkin” craft idea today!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share some pictures of your paper plate sloth in pumpkin creations on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Sloth In Pumpkin

All you need is a large paper plate and our free printable to make it happen. It’s an easy craft idea for kids to make at home this fall season and we hope you are inspired to recreate it today!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • School Glue
  • Sloth Printable – on our landing page
  • Printer
  • Kraft Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Green Pipe Cleaner
  • Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

  • First things first – paint your paper plate completely orange. Simply squirt some paint in the center and move it around with the paint brush.
  • When done painting, set it aside to let it dry completely.
  • While that is drying, go ahead and grab your sloth head printable & your scissors.
  • Cut out ONE of the sloth heads from the printable.
  • Before you set aside the remaining paper go ahead and cut out TWO oval shapes for the paw shapes {from the blank edges of the printable.}
  • At this point in time, go ahead and also cut out a rectangle shape from the brown cardstock paper, for the stem of the pumpkin.
  • Set aside all your paper pieces for now.
  • Next up – the “carving” of the pumpkin! Cut your orange painted paper plate in half with the scissors. But not just straight up the center. You want it a little jaggeder like a pumpkin that is cut in half.
  • Now grab your stapler and staple it back together in one of the corners, so it looks like it’s propped open.
  • Grab the sloth head cutout and staple it, inside the propped paper plate piece, so it looks like he is peeking from inside the pumpkin.
  • Follow that up by gluing down his paws, on the front of the pumpkin.
  • Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on claws on the paws and give it some dimension.
  • Finally – take the green pipe cleaner and curl it around your fingers.
  • Now take the brown cardstock stem you made earlier and staple it, along with the curled pipe cleaner, to the top of the paper plate.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit before displaying proudly!
  • Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper plate sloth in pumpkin creations with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts

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!
