DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Plate Colourful Seahorse Craft

Materials:

• a variety of colourful paints and paintbrushes (use your imagination and your favourite colours).
• two paper plates,
• brass paper fastener,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper,
• printer,

Instructions:

Paint the top of one paper plate a rainbow of different colours. Feel free to be as creative as you want; younger children may want to use their fingers and get really messy while older children may want to make a colour wheel in the ROY G BIV fashion.

While the first paper plate is drying, draw a seahorse onto the top of the other paper plate. You can use the template we provided (which has multiple seahorse sizes) or draw your own.
ADULTS ONLY: Using scissors or an exacto-knife, cut the seahorse out of the paper plate. Be very careful as it is a challenging shape to cut.

Place the seahorse paper plate on top of the colourful paper plate and secure them together with a brass fastener through the middle.

Templates:

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
