Paper Plate Starfish Craft

Contributed by Leanne Guenther

This cute, little starfish craft uses a paper plate and a bit of paint to make a project suitable for an ocean animals theme or just for fun.

Materials:

• brown or orange paint (or you can use your imagination and paint your starfish any color you wish)
• white paint
• paintbrush
• paper plate,
• scissors,
• black marker

Directions:

• Cut a starfish shape out from a paper plate.
• Paint the bottom of the starfish shaped paper plate.  We used burnt orange but you can use whatever color you would like to use.
• Draw a five sided star in the middle of the starfish shaped paper plate with a black marker.
• Draw circles along the legs of the starfish with a black marker.
• Paint a white dot in the middle of each black circle.
