Today’s Paper Plate & Chalk Art Troll Hair kids craft tutorial is drenched with so much COLORFUL FUN!

Keep scrolling to see how we made this Paper & Chalk Troll craft idea come to life with a few simple supplies and steps! I’ll show YOU how easy it really is!

You guys – I’ve done it again! I just can’t stop thinking of NEW ways to bring sidewalk chalk to paper and today I’m super excited to be sharing MY version of TROLL HAIR with this fun technique!

Our latest and greatest troll craft idea can be made ANY day of the year and only uses inexpensive materials such as sidewalk chalk, paper and a paper plate. Kids can also make the troll’s hair as full or as colorful as they want! From there, they can also custom it and no two pieces will look alike!

Now what are we waiting for?! All the details can be found below in our step-by-step tutorial. Although I don’t have a free printable like my past chalk art tutorials, this troll inspired one is really easy to start on your own and complete just as fast. Promise!

So friends – don’t let this crafty idea slip away! Bookmark this very post and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art and paper plate trolls with your child. Then show off those creations, with pride, with us! We love seeing those pics so tag us on Facebook or use our #gluedtomycrafts in the description for us to see!

Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper and chalk rainbow troll hair creations!
