Paper Plate Moon & Star Craft Idea For Kids

Your kiddos will love making this super easy and fun paper plate moon & star craft! Just keep scrolling for all the details and free printable from us!

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate
  • Scissors
  • Blue Craft Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • Star Printable – on our landing page
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Yellow Crayon, Marker or Coloring Pencil
  • Stapler

Directions:

  • First things first – print off the FREE star printable listed above in the supply list. One print will give you TWO star cutouts {and two chances to make a moon today!}
  • Next – color one of the star shapes completely yellow and trim it out with your scissors.
  • Set aside the finished star shape for now.
  • Up next – the paper plate moon. Grab the plate, along with your scissors.
  • Cut the paper plate to look like a half moon {use our image as an example.} The best way I can describe it is to cut out a half circle from one side from the paper plate.
  • Discard the excess piece from the paper plate.
  • Now you are going to paint your paper plate shape. I went with blue but you can of course change that up!
  • BTW – while the paint is still wet – go ahead and sprinkle loose craft glitter on top for a little sparkle.
  • To finish off the paper plate moon craft, simply staple the star shape from earlier, to the paper plate.
  • And that’s it! You can either add some more elements {maybe a smiling face} or go straight to displaying it proudly for ALL to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. 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. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
