Happy Earth Craft
Instructions to make a happy earth picture using a paper plate.

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Paper
  • Paint, crayons, or Markers
  • Large Wiggly eyes
  • Glue
Instructions:
Find a picture of the planet Earth and use that for a pattern. Using paint, crayons, or markers, color your paper plate blue and green to look like the planet earth. Once your picture is dry, glue on the wiggly eyes and draw a large sliming mouth. Cut out arm and leg shapes from the paper. Glue the arms on the back side of the paper plate so they stick out of the side, and glue the legs on so they stick out the bottom.

You can also make pictures of the earth using a sad face.
