Crafting a Paper Plate Cow: A Fun and Easy Activity for Kids
In the spirit of a farm or animal unit, or simply to celebrate a cow-themed birthday party, a paper plate cow craft has emerged as a fun and engaging activity for kids and preschoolers. This article will guide you through the steps of creating this adorable craft.
The materials needed for this project are quite straightforward: a large white paper plate, a small white paper plate, black contact paper or black card, white card, pink construction paper, scissors, glue, and, of course, some large googly eyes.
To begin, the small paper plate is glued to the lower part of the large paper plate. The ears and horns, crafted from black card, are then glued to the back of the small paper plate. The ears are slightly creased to make them stand away from the body, and the inner ears are glued to the outer ears.
Next, we cut out "blobs" of black contact paper for the cow spots and attach them to the large paper plate, with one spot also added to the small paper plate. A "nose" is cut out from pink paper and glued on.
Using black contact paper goes around the curves of the plate better, but removing its backing can be challenging. However, the effort is worth it, as the contact paper provides a smoother finish for the cow spots.
The ears and horns are glued to the back of the small paper plate, ensuring they stand out from the body of the cow. Nostrils are added with a black pen.
Finally, large googly eyes are added to the cow, completing the craft.
