| Paper Plate Poppies |
Our play group thrives on paper plate activities. There are hundreds on Pinterest, so we are obviously in good company! I can't remember how we arrived at this craft but it was good fun and simple (albeit a bit messy)!
Equipment:
- Painting overalls (Ikea and Ikea baby bibs - the type that cover arms)
- Baby wipes (for clean up purposes)
- Large Paper Plates
- Cheap round baby sponges (Asda)
- Cheap cotton wool balls
- Red poster paint
- Black poster paint
- Sellotape
- Felt pan (for writing names on the back)
- Green drinking straws
- Newspaper to cover tables (optional - we don't, we use a wipeable surface instead)
Method:
1. Roll up sleeves and cover up with painting aprons!2. Always write child's name on the back first!
3. Attach green drinking straw to the back of the plate with sellotape (easier to do this first, than when it's wet with paint).
4. Help child to use cotton wool to print black blob in the center of the plate.

| Of course it doesn't matter if it's not quite central! |
5. Help child to use sponge to print red blobs around the black dot.
6. Leave to dry!
