Turn a Paper Plate into a Cute Pumpkin Snail Craft for Kids

These would make great decorations for Halloween or Thanksgiving!

First things first – decorate your paper plate to look like a pumpkin. Start off by covering it with ORANGE craft paint and then adding a few lines of brown to the center, to give the “pumpkin” some dimension.
When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside till later.
Now grab all your sheets of cardstock and scissors.
Cut out a simple hot dog shape out of your “choice of colored” cardstock paper, for his body.
Next adhere some wiggle eyes and draw on a smile with the Sharpie marker, on the larger cardstock piece.
Set that piece aside.
Now, out of the brown cardstock paper, cut out TWO antennas for on his head, as well as the “stem” for on top of the pumpkin.
To finish off the Pumpkin Snail project, staple or glue the snail’s cardstock body to the decorated paper plate from the first step.
Follow that up by adhering the antennas in place as well.
Finally, curl the green pipe cleaner with your fingers and staple it onto the top of the paper plate.
Go ahead and add any other embellishments you see fit.
