Chalk Art Troll Hair Craft Idea

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 an inexpensive, white paper plate.

Kids can also make their rainbow hair as full or as colorful as they want! From there, they can also custom it and no two magical troll craft 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 tutorial 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 chalk art troll hair post and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art and paper plate trolls with your child. Happy crafting, my dear friends! I can’t wait to see your paper and chalk rainbow hair creations!

  • Now grab your black cardstock and the scissors again.

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.
