Paper Plate Crafts

Hi I'm Lee Woodruff with the family fun minute. Sure this looks like an ordinary paper plate but in just a minute you'll see how easily it can become a frog puppet, paper dove, and even a mosaic.

To create a colorful magazine mosaic sketch a designed on the back of a plate then cut strips of magazine pages brush a bit of glue mixture on the plate and put paper squares in place, seal each with the top coat of glue mixture. He may not be a prince but this paper puppet is certainly charming after you paint the plate green fold in half and use a utility knife to make a one inch slit in the center of the fold create eyes, legs, and the tongue out of construction paper then wag the frogs tongue by jiggling the straight end. You won't mind this critter invading your next picnic a high flying dove made from paper plates and plastic spoons. To fly, throw like a paper airplane. Be sure to save those extra paper plates they'll come in handy on your next craft day.
