Instructions for Making this Halloween Paper Plate Craft

1. Begin by tracing your cup on your paper plate where you’d like your full moon to be. Paint your moon yellow and the rest of your paper plate gray. Then paint your jumbo craft stick with gray paint. Set them aside to dry completely.

2. Assemble your witch. Cut out a 1 1/2-inch circle and small triangle nose from your green cardstock. Cut out a witch hat and triangular witch dress out of your black cardstock. Glue orange yarn hair at the back of the witch head. Glue the witch hat at the top of the head and the dress at the bottom of the head. Then glue on your small googly eye and nose and draw a smile on your witch with your black marker.

3. Assemble your witch broom. Cut off four pieces of tan yarn, one long enough to tie a knot. Glue the smaller three pieces of string on the end of the craft stick. Then wrap the longer piece of string around the craft stick and other pieces of yarn and tie a knot. Use scissors to trim the yarn pieces to look like a broom.

4. Glue the witch onto the broom. Then glue them onto the end of your gray jumbo craft stick.

5. Have an adult use a craft knife to cut a slit along the bottom 1/3 of your paper plate for your witch puppet to slide into.

Your Halloween Paper Plate Craft is finished!

Slide your witch down inside the paper plate slit. Hold the paper plate steady with one of your hands and use your other hand to move around the jumbo craft stick behind the paper plate to make your witch fly around on her broomstick on the paper plate.
