Directions:
- First squirt some craft paint in the center of your large paper plate. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
- Take the fork – which is your “paint brush” and spread the paint ALL around to make the fur of your animal. Just make sure though that you keep the paint on the paper plate. You can however move it anywhere and in any design/shape/angle you like. Remember – two or three colors is also awesome to use! Don’t be shy on mixing and blending them to recreate your unique paw print design.
- Once you are done creating the “fur” – set aside the decorated paper plate to let it dry a bit.
- Now grab your printed paw print printable.
- Color in the paw design however you like {I went with basic black crayon.}
- When done coloring in the shapes, trim out each piece with your scissors. Discard excess paper {or save for a rainy day!}
- Finally – the last step of this paint covered paper plate paw print craft. Use the school glue to glue all your cardstock pieces to the center of the paint covered paper plate.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
