Here are some activities kids love— and their mothers do, too
Using paper plates, recreate fun, everyday circular items by layering on pieces of construction paper to build something unique.
My kids and I made a pizza by first coloring a paper plate red. Then we added my toppings of choice: cheese, olives, peppers, and arugula. Chances are, each kid will build a pizza they would want to eat!
In addition to the pizza, we also made pies. We cut out apples and plums, and covered the pie by making real lattice. I don’t know when I’ll make a lattice topped pie in real life, but now I have a nine-year-old expert lattice-maker!
You’ll need:
Nine-inch paper plates
Construction paper
Scissors
Glue stick
Depending on your child’s age, you may choose to cut out the toppings in advance and let them build on top of the plate. If they can cut small shapes, they’ll likely also enjoy building up their plate with different interesting toppings and fillings!
