There are so many great crafts to make with paper plates, which is great news for us mums because we always seem to have a plentiful supply of them after a party. This idea is simple, fun and sure to capture your little one’s imagination.
What you will need:
- Paper plates
- Scissors
- Bubble wrap
- Rolling pin
- Paint
- Googly eyes
- Ribbon
- Tape
- Glue
Method:
- Wrap your bubble wrap around the rolling pin and secure with tape.
- Squirt some paint onto a paper plate, then roll your bubble wrap back and forth until each bubble is covered in colour.
- Next, take a blank paper plate and roll the newly-painted bubble wrap all over it, leaving the imprint of the bubbles, and creating a snake-like skin.
- Leave your plate to dry, then cut a swirling circle into to create the body.
- Attach some googly eyes using a dab of glue, and a ‘forked’ piece of ribbon for your snake’s tongue.
