Crafts from disposable plates

For joint creativity with the child, you can use almost any improvised material, including disposable dishes. Such crafts will interest any child. And the simplicity of their use allows you to create crafts with young children.

Children's crafts from disposable paper plates

The most popular are paper plates. The fastest and easiest way to use them is to paint plates with colored pencils, markers or paints. You can decorate the plates with plasticine, molding funny animals or covering the surface of the plate to get a picture. The use of colored paper makes it possible to create various animals (a turtle, a ladybird, a dog, a spider) and even carnival masks for children's improvisation.

For example, you can create a mask of a lion, coloring the plate itself in yellow, and inside draw a muzzle.

You can complicate the task and use more than one plate to create animals, but several.

The work of "Owl"

A child of older age can easily create an owl from several plates. To do this, you need to stock up on colored paper, paints, a brush, two disposable plates, glue and scissors.

  1. Paint with brown paint two paper plates and let them dry.
  2. From colored paper we cut out two large yellow circles, white circles with a smaller diameter and two small black circles.
  3. From the orange paper we cut out the beak for the owl.
  4. We cut one of the plates with scissors in half. It will be wings.
  5. We attach the beak and eyes to the whole plate.
  6. We glue the back of the whole plate and glue the "wings". So we had an owl.

Toys created from paper plates can be used in the child's play activity and invite him to play in the puppet theater.

A paper plate can also be colored and used as a photo frame or stand for candy with a biscuit.

If you add ribbons to paper plates, you can create beautiful jellyfish.

The frog "Frog"

To create a frog, you need to prepare:

  1. We color the plate and molds from the eggs with green flowers.
  2. From red colored paper, we cut out the tongue, from white and black paper - small circles. It will be the eyes.
  3. From the back of the unpainted side of the plate we glue the tongue, and then fold the plate in half.
  4. We paste "eyes" on top. The frog is ready.

Crafts from plastic plates for children with their own hands.

In addition to disposable white plates, you can use multi-colored plastic plates that do not need to be painted. You can create crafts from them almost immediately. For example, cutting out fish from colored plates, you can get a large aquarium.

The bouquet "Bouquet for mother"

If you use plastic cups in addition to plastic plates, you can get an original gift made by the child. To create a bouquet you need:

  1. From white paper we cut flowers of chamomiles, from green - stems, from the bottom of a yellow glass - the core of a camomile.
  2. We glue all the details of chamomile to each other.
  3. Put the resulting flowers in a yellow glass. The bouquet is ready.
