Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate
- Brown Paint Crayon
- Tulip Puffy Paint {red for apple or orange for pumpkin}
- Light Brown Cardstock Paper
- Scissors
- School Glue
- White Cotton Balls
Directions:
- First things first – use a BROWN paint crayon to color in the “pie crust” in the craft. Simply have children paint the outer rim of their large paper plate with the crayon.
- Next up – help children fold their paper plate in half {with the pie crust inside.} Straight up the center to make it a half circle.
- Now unfold and squirt some puffy paint on one side of the paper plate. This is going to become the “pie filling.“
- Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down. A good squiggle or two of paint is perfect.
- Once the paint is down, go ahead and re-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.
- When ready, carefully unfold the paper plate to reveal a pie filling design inside.
- Next up – grab your light brown cardstock paper and the scissors.
- Cut out several thin strips for the remaining pie crust.
- Go ahead and glue those onto the painted paper plate.
- To finish the paint splat pie tutorial, glue on a few cotton balls in the center for the “whipped cream” on the pie.
- Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
