Make a Paper Plate Boat

Paper plates are great for crafts. They are cheap to buy and can be recycled when no longer needed. If you are telling a Bible Story with a boat in then this is an easy make to add to your Story Bag.

All you need:

Paper plate, tissue paper squares or pens/crayons, card or a lollypop stick for the mast, patterned paper for the sail, cellotape, blue waves made from card or construction paper (optional)

This is also suitable to make as a simple craft. It’s great for children to make and then use to retell the story as it stand up by itself.

Here’s a link to a Bible Story that has a fishing boat

To make this simple wreath you will need

Paper plates with the centre cut out

Leaf shapes cut from sugar paper (construction paper)

Petits fours paper cases

Buttons/Tissue paper

Glue (preferably PVA as everything will stick better)

Glue spreaders

To make

Begin by gluing leaves to the paper plate ring.

Add the petits fours cases to make flowers

Add buttons/tissue paper to the centre of the petits fours cake cases (optional – no need to use these if younger children are making the wreaths as buttons can be a chocking hazard)

Note – separate the petits fours cake cases before the children begin or you will end up with a sticky cake case mess!
