Paper Plate Holiday Wreaths
Version to use with children between 2 and 4 years old

What you will need:

• Large paper plates with the center cut out
• Green washable markers
• Leaf cut-outs
• Berry cut-outs
• Candle cut-outs
• Flame cut-outs
• Glue sticks

* When dealing with such a young age group, it is important to have everything prepared ahead of time. Children this age are not as skilled at cutting, so having the parts of the craft precut can help make the activity go smoothly.

Instructions:

Step one: Have the children completely color the paper plate with the green markers. This will be the main “wreath” of the craft.

Step two: With the glue stick, have the children stick the green leaves and berries to the wreath.

Step three: With the glue stick, have the children stick the candle so that it can be seen in the center of the wreath.

Step four: With the glue stick, have the children stick the flame onto the top of the candle.

The children now have a holiday wreath they can hang on the front door, the refrigerator, or even the bulletin board at mommy or daddy’s workplace.
