Paper Plate Pizza Craft Idea
Need a fun little craft to do with your kids this week? You probably already have all of the supplies you need to make this Paper Plate Pizza Craft idea.
This activity also makes for a wonderful classroom activity for preschool or kindergarten aged children because you can adjust it to all levels. You can use the cutting of the pieces as a cutting exercise and add in glue bottles if you want to use this as a gluing exercise as well. Decorate your wall with all of their pizzas and this theme would go great with any food themed units that you might be working on!
Paper Plate Pizza Craft Idea
Supplies:
- Paper plate
- Red paint
- Paint brush
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Colored construction paper for your toppings (Red, Brown, Black, Yellow, Green
- Glue (optional)
Directions:
Fold your construction paper (each piece) into eighths (in half, in half again, and in half again!)
Draw your topping according to your color construction paper
Red – pepperoni
Brown – mushrooms
Black – olives
Yellow – cheese (for the cheese I just cut strips)
Green – green peppers
*Be creative and choose toppings you like!
Using your scissors, cut out each topping.
Place some red paint on your paper plate and using your paint brush, spread it all around (I used this to act as glue as well, so you can be generous here!). If you would rather that the kids use bottled glue, you can let the paint dry and then they can add the pieces individually by applying glue to each piece.
Once your plate is covered with the “sauce” go ahead and put your toppings on!
Press down so secure the toppings to the “sauce” since this is going to act as your glue.
Like I mentioned above, this is a craft that you can tailor to the learning level of the children in the classroom. You could even do something like this for older children and have them get really creative in making their own specialty pizzas. I love this craft because it’s easy and fun and who doesn’t love pizza!?
