PAIR YOUR CRAFT WITH —> Egg Carton Tree Canvas
This easy craft is perfect for Earth Day or spring – plus, it’s a great way to start a topic of discussion of WHY we celebrate to begin with!
Craft Materials:
- Large White Paper Plates
- Green Tulip Puffy Paint
- Dark Blue Tulip Puffy Paint
- Baby Wipes
- Cardstock Paper
- Basic Craft Scissors

- Small Heart Stickers
You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!
Directions:
- First fold your paper plate in half {one per earth craft you want to make today.}
- Unfold and squirt some blue AND green craft paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
- Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “marbled earth” design inside. If desired, sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired to create more texture.
- To finish the Paper Plate Moons – add a handprint cutout to the center of the marbled design. You can also add a heart sticker to finish it off.
- When done decorating it, set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
