We love making stuff but this time of the year I’m unsurprisingly not that keen on spending loads of money on new craft materials – Christmas paper plate crafts seem like the perfect answer to me! We inevitably always seem to have a few paper plates lying around or they’re great if you need something for a group of children to make.
There’s loads of different paper plate Christmas craft ideas too – from the traditional Santa crafts (because you can’t have a Christmas crafts round up with out Santa) to snowmen, elves, Christmas tree and even a Christmas unicorn. There’s loads of ideas here so it’s worth taking a good look through or letting your kids look at the collages to pick a couple that they’d like to try.
I’ve included paper plate crafts for all ages from toddlers and preschoolers to school age kids and umm.. even some I quite fancy making so hopefully there should be something for everyone.
If you do like the Christmas paper plate crafts that I’m sharing today then be sure to bookmark this page or pin an image so that you’ve got these ideas to hand when you need them. You’ll also find more ideas for Christmas crafts for kids at the end of this post.
