Spiral Paper Plates
This spiral paper plates craft was a craft all my kids could do. It is a great craft option for kids of all ages and easy to put together for larger numbers of children. It would be wonderful for a preschool class or older. These twirling paper plates cost pennies to make and add fun whimsical decor as they spin in the wind.
Materials Needed
~ Flimsy Paper Plates
~ Sharpies
~ Scissors
~ String
Written Instructions
I took a flimsy paper plate and drew a spiral on it with a Sharpie marker. The marker line was most helpful for my oldest who wanted to be a bit more intentional in her drawings. The line also became the place I would cut later. Then, I just let them lose with pens. They colored to their hearts’ desire. When they were done, I simply cut the spiral out of the paper plate, put a hole and yarn on one end and hung them up. The fun part about these plates is that it was a breezy day, and they would twirl and twirl in the wind.
I think we’ll try that this weekend!
Did you do it? It’s really an easy craft you can do at any moment.
This looks like a lot of fun, will have to give this a try. Stopping by the store and picking up some paper plates
This looks like fun. I think I’ll add some glitter to the project and do it with my niece and nephew!
I thought about glitter. You’re much braver than I am. 😉
