Looking for a fun and easy craft project to do with your kids? This sidewalk chalk art sunshine craft is perfect!

Craft Supplies:

Small Paper Plate
Scissors
Yellow Craft Paint
Foam Paint Brush
Blue Cardstock Paper
Yellow Sidewalk Chalk
Baby Wipes
School Glue or Glue Stick
Stapler
Large Wiggle Eyes
Black Marker

Directions:

First things first – grab your small paper plate and scissors.
Cut the paper plate, straight down the center, into TWO equal halves.
Reserve one half for today’s chalk smiling sunshine craft and save the other for a rainy day when you need some sunshine in your life {maybe for our chalk art troll tutorial!}
Now grab your yellow colored craft paint and foam paint brush.
Squirt some paint in the middle of the paper plate half and move it around with the foam paint brush, until the paper plate is completely covered.
When done painting, set aside the paper plate to allow it to dry completely.
Now grab your dark blue colored cardstock and the scissors again.
Fold the blue cardstock paper in half and open it back up.
Use scissors to again to cut straight up the center, to create two equal pieces.
Reserve one blue paper piece for today’s craft and save the other for another day.
Now grab your yellow piece of colored chalk.
Make several lines, all over the blue cardstock, to recreate sunbeams. Add as much lines {and different colors if you like} or as little as you like.
When done with the chalk step, go ahead and grab your painted yellow paper plate piece, as well as the stapler.
Staple the painted paper plate half to the bottom of the blue cardstock with the chalk lines. You want it to look like a sun shape with the beams coming out of it.
Add any other embellishments you see fit {like the wiggle eyes and drawn on smile with the Sharpie marker.}
Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper chalk art sunshine piece proudly for all to see!
