Paper Plate & Chalk Art Uncle Sam Craft For Kids To Make

Uncle Sam Craft Using Sidewalk Chalk

Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s kids craft post. Today we are going to share with you all a rather easy Uncle Sam craft idea that kids can be made this upcoming summer season, in honor of the 4th of July holiday.

This latest project from us only requires inexpensive white sidewalk chalk, cardstock paper and a small paper plate. Very basic materials that you probably have in your home right now, making it super easy to pull together within minutes.

Best part of this Uncle Sam craft idea? Kids can get really creative with this tutorial by making his white beard as full or as light as they want on the black paper. Because of this, no two pieces will look alike and I think that’s pretty awesome!

Now what are we waiting for?! All the details can be found below in our step-by-step tutorial. The 4th of July weekend will be here before you know it and this unique red, white & blue craft idea NEEDS to be done with your child this summer!

So be sure to bookmark {or PIN!} this very Uncle Sam craft post and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art and paper plate Uncle Sam creations with your child. Then show off those awesome paper pieces, 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 sidewalk chalk Uncle Sam beard creations!
