Today, I’m sharing ideas for paper plate crafts for kids. April showers bring may flowers. They also bring the children inside. With that comes boredom, fights, and too much free time. My grandchildren love to do crafts and I love paper plate crafts. So, I decided to do a round up of paper plate crafts that I thought kids would find interesting. This paper plate roundup focus more on paper plate crafts for boys. I have found that there a tons of crafts and other projects for girls, but not much for boys.
Furthermore, I think we forget that little boys need and want to work on their creativity too. However, this roundup does have a few crafts that girls may be interested in. There are many girls who love Spider Man, pirates and police car too. Also, I love the simplicity of most of the crafts. Paper plates, paint, numbers etc. Most of the items if not all can be purchased from the Dollar Store.
Let’s check out the paper plate craft ideas for kids roundup:
1. Giraffe – First, I found this giraffe on Zayit and Ziva. I love the little spots on this guy. Looks like a fun craft to make with kids of any age.
2. Pirates – Ships Ahoy! I found these pirates on How Wee Learn. This would be a great craft to make at a Pirates birthday party.
3. Clock – I found this clock idea at Storytime Kate. I loved this idea. It’s a great way to start teaching my grandson how to tell time.
4. Owl – I found this little guy on Crafts by Amanda. This looks easy enough for a toddler to work on also with assistance.
5. Police Car – I found this police car on Terrific Preschool Years. I love this idea. It’s a great time to have a conversation with your child about the police and their importance.
6. Saw – Sixth, I found this saw idea on Easy Preschool Craft. This is a perfect idea for Father’s Day.
7. Sun – I found this ray of sunshine on About.com. I think this would be a great craft to make with my granddaughter. The little hand prints for the rays are perfect.
8. Spider Man – I found this Spider Man plate on In the Playroom. This is a great craft idea for all the little guys who love Superheroes.
9. Paper Plate Goose – I found this swan on Making Learning Fun. This is a great site for craft ideas for kids of all ages.
Last, I hope you like my paper plate craft ideas, and find something to make for a rainy day. Which is your favorite?

I love that paper plate swan! Never saw that idea before and we always keep extra paper plates on hand! Thanks!
Great collection of really cute ideas! There's nothing I like better than gathering the grand kiddoes at the table and letting them be creative with a pile of craft supplies. A paper plate makes a palette that we haven't tried before. I think we'll try the clock for sure!
