I love making crafts with my kiddos using supplies that I have around the house. One of my favorite mediums is paper plates, which are cheap and easy to come by. For one of our recent winter crafts, my daughter and I made a simple but adorable arctic fox.
Materials
- White paper plates
- White paper
- Cotton balls
- Wiggle eyes
- Pink pompom
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Fold one paper plate in half.
- Cut a triangle from another paper plate.
- Cut four rectangle legs, two triangle ears, and one half circle tail from the white paper.
- Glue the two triangle ears to the top back of the triangle paper plate head.
- Glue two wiggle eyes and the pink pompom nose to the front of the head.
- Glue the four legs and tail to the inside of the folded paper plate.
- Glue the paper plate closed.
- Glue the head to the front of the folded paper plate opposite the tail.
- Use binder clips to secure the folded paper plate and head while the glue dries.
- Glue cotton balls all over the body, head, and tail of the fox.
- Display the arctic fox paper plate craft.
