This robin paper plate craft is the perfect addition to your Christmas activities. Last year I shared some of the crafts that we made in our classroom for Christmas.. And so many of you said it helped you come up with ideas for your own students. So this year I’m going to do the same and share photos of all of the different crafts that we make for Christmas.. starting with this robin!
I love using paper plates for crafts because they’re so affordable to pick up. Often I’ll pop them on my wish list when parents/families ask for ideas for donations too. And they can be used for so much in our classrooms, not just crafting!
Below I’ve included information for all the materials and instructions you’ll need to create this craft.
