PAIR YOUR EARTH DAY KIDS CRAFT WITH —> Recycled Egg Carton Tree Canvas Craft

Paint Splat Earth Craft Idea For Kids

This easy craft is perfect for Earth Day – 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 – one per earth craft
  • Green Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Dark Blue Tulip Puffy Paint
  • Baby Wipes
  • Cardstock Paper {any other color you like}
  • Basic Craft Scissors
  • Pencil or Marker
  • Small Heart Stickers
  • optional materials – loose craft glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

You can find ALL our favorite craft supplies via our AMAZON SHOP link!

Directions:

  • Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
  • 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.
