Updated on by | Leave a Comment

We love seasonal themed crafts and these fall paper plate crafts are pretty much perfect!

Today I’m sharing loads of fall craft ideas for kids with inspiration for activities from all ages from toddlers, kindergarteners and preschoolers to kids of all ages who are in school. Actually there’s a few here I quite fancy making myself!

Fall is a beautiful time of year so it lends itself perfectly to inspiration for crafts with it’s beautiful changing colours, the wildlife you’ll love looking out for and of course the leaves falling from the trees.

It’s great fun to be able to share your own excitement with your kids too and these easy paper plate crafts are a great way to encourage their creativity indoors if the weather is less than awesome or as activities you can do together – crafts using leaves are brilliant for after a walk outdoors exploring nature.

Pom Pom Printed Paper Plate Snake

by | Leave a Comment

While my kids were homeschooling we learnt about the rainforest and jungle so making a rainforest animal craft seemed like a pretty obvious choice and this paper plate snake was an easy idea that I knew they’d both be able to make and enjoy despite the difference in their ages.

Paper plate snakes are a bit of a classic craft and I’m not sure who came up with them originally but there are lots of variations on the theme, we’ve made toilet roll snakes before when my son was in preschool and however you choose to create them they’re a great way for kids to practice scissor skills.

This snake craft uses pom poms for a simple painting technique that both my kids genuinely really enjoyed and that’s also good for supporting fine motor skills too.

My kids love to make some Halloween decor every year for our home and this paper plate spider web craft with it’s cute little spider hanging down was actually my son’s idea.

Making a paper plate twirler like this one is a great way for kids to practice their scissor skills and you can use our free spider template too so you don’t need to worry about drawing a spider yourself.

Paint Splat Paper Plate Butterfly Craft

by | 3 Comments

I love easy crafts for kids, the ones that all ages can get involved in and this simple paper plate butterfly craft uses a paint splat technique to make a (almost!) symmetrical craft that looks fantastic.

It’s perfect for spring or summer and as it has really basic materials that a lot of us have at home already it’s perfect for when you need to come up with an idea in a hurry and without another trip to the shops.

Using a paint splat technique means that toddlers and preschoolers can join in with this activity while older kids will be able to help with the cutting.
