Welcome friends to our latest Chalk Art Thing 1 & 2 kid friendly project idea!

In true fashion, since I’m hooked on chalk art tutorials these days, the crafty wheels in me have spun like crazy to come up with a Seuss-themed kid craft idea that uses paper plates, black cardstock paper and my favorite bright colored sidewalk chalk!

This latest Dr Seuss themed art project idea is the seriously the SIMPLEST! No really – all it takes is a little paper cutting and some line strokes on paper with the chalk. That’s it!

So friends – there is no silly mischief coming from these funny looking friends and their wild hair. I PROMISE you can make it happen for your child at home or in a large classroom setting with a group. Keep on scrolling to see how I pulled together this Paper Plate and Sidewalk Chalk Thing 1 & 2 craft idea! Then come share a few snaps of their wild blue hair creations and share them on our Facebook wall to admire from a far! I can’t wait to see how WACKY your Thing 1 & 2 turn out!

Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
