Paper Plate Party Animal

Is your kid a total party animal? Here’s a totally fun activity to make and use at your next celebration: a paper plate monster face using a party blower for a tongue! Great for New Year’s or for birthday parties—or heck, celebrate any day!

To make this paper plate craft, you will need:

1 paper plate
Yellow and light blue paint
2 large pink pom-poms (or any color)
Scrap of black felt
Party blower

Paint the backside of the paper plate light blue and allow to dry. Paint the top side of the plate yellow and allow to dry.

Cut circles from black felt and glue to the pink pom-poms. Fold the plate in half but do not crease. Glue pom-pom eyes to the top of the blue side of the paper plate. Cut a small hole in the center of the plate and insert the party blower. Parents can secure the blower with a small amount of hot glue, however tape can also be used.
