This is a really good rainy day activity to try. Will need to buy some paper plates though as I donβt have any but Iβm sure it will keep him occupied for a wee while. I love the Jellyfish one with the ribbon tentacles.
Thank you so much – yes I like the jellyfish too! π x
Oh they look so much fun.
My favourite is the fish. I love the scales on it, they look so good.

What a brilliant selection of paper plate craft ideas. I’ve done quite a few of these with my girls, but always good to have more ideas for crafts to do with Sophie and Thomas. I think the unicorn particularly would go down well. #KidsandKreativity
