Its been a awhile since I posted any of our crafting adventures, so here’s one for all you paper plate fans!

To make a paper plate crab you will need: a paper plate(!), orange card, orange tissue paper, googly eyes, glue stick and black felt pen.

If you are feeling brave, let your 3 year old loose with the scissors and the tissue paper.

Cut 2 claw hands and 6 legs from the orange card.

Stick tissue pieces on the plate to form the crabs body.

Glue on the arms and legs!

Stick on your googly eyes (every paper plate animal NEEDS googly eyes!)

Draw a HUGE MASSIVE BIGGEST smiley face ever.

And there you have a rather cute crab (or four!).

We’ve had a couple of birthday cards to make this weekend. I’m not saying who for as we’ve still got to post one!

If you watch Cbeebies you may recognise Joan!

and Raymond!

Very quick and easy to make. All you need is a print out of your favourite cbeebies character, card, glue stick, googly eyes, tissue paper and sequins (or any other arty materials you have to hand!).
