# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This sunny paper plate craft will brighten up your day with its beaming smile and warming rays.

You can't go wrong with this simple but effective craft. All you need is a paper plate, sugar paper, enough felt tips to draw on a happy face and you're laughing.

If you can't get hold of a coloured paper plate just get the kids to paint one, then let them have fun creating their own sunny face with a toothy grin, arching eyebrows or even a moustache - it's up to them.

Stick their paper-plate sun on the fridge or on a beanpole in the garden for a smile a day.

Age group: Kids as young as three can make this craft. They might just need help cutting out the sun rays. Follow our step-by-step instructions on how to make a paper-plate sun...

What you will need

1 yellow paper plate

1 yellow A4 sheet of sugar paper

1 orange A4 sheet of sugar paper

1 red A4 sheet of sugar paper

1 pair of googly eyes

1 red felt pen

1 black felt pen

Red paint

Round sponge brush

Scissors

Glue stick

Step 1

Paper-plate sun craft equipment...
Find a flat surface to work on and gather together all the craft materials you need to make a paper-plate sun.

Step 2

How to make a paper-plate sun...
Start off by cutting out the coloured sugar-paper triangles for the sun's rays.

Psst! If you want nice, equal-sized paper triangles...
1. Fold each of the coloured sugar paper sheets four times, like a fan
2. Press the fan flat
3. Then fold the fan in half (see the numbered diagram above)

Step 3

With the fold at the top, draw a triangle on the front, then using scissors cut out the triangle and you'll be left with lots of lovely, equal-sized triangles.

Step 4

Stick the sun rays on to the back of the paper plate using glue stick.

Step 5

For the paper-plate sun's happy face...
Turn the sun over, stick on the googly eyes, then using felt pens draw on black eyelashes and a red smile. To make your paper-plate sun really beam from ear to ear, print on two rosy cheeks using the round sponge brush dipped into the red paint.

Step 6

Stick your paper-plate sun to the fridge door or on the end of a beanpole in the garden and that's it! Your beaming paper-plate sun is ready to brighten up your day.

I was going to wait until at least September to post my first Halloween craft but I'm sharing this one a little early because I love how it turned out. And who doesn't love an easy paper plate craft? The personalized hand print spider gives it the perfect touch! This would be cute to do every year with your kids and they can see how big their spider gets.

Paper Plate Wreath Craft
This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy. What you need
- Paper plate or a cereal box would even work
- Finger Paints
- Halloween colored tissue paper
- Glue
- Construction Paper
- Ribbon or String for hanging

The first step we did was the hand print spider. Pick out what color of construction paper you'd like to use and have your child use both hands to make the hand prints on top of each other facing opposite ways to represent the spider like the one above. Once it dries you can add googly eyes or personalize it with a Halloween message but that's totally up to you! While the hand prints dry you can work on the wreath, cut up your tissue paper into small squares and cut the middle out of your paper plate.

Start scrunching up the squares of tissue paper and apply with glue onto the paper plate wreath form. This is up to your child however they'd like to decorate it whether they want it full and fluffy with a lot of tissue paper or spreading them out all over! Once your hand print spider is dried you can cut around it and glue it onto your wreath once the tissue paper is finished drying. Finally when you're done personalizing it, tie a string or a cute ribbon around it and show off your new Halloween wreath or this would make the perfect gift for the grandparents!

Do you need something fun and creative for your kids to do? If so, then this easy paper plate moon & star craft is sure to please!

The perfect combination of creativity and imagination, this simple galaxy art project is a great way for moms, teachers, educators, crafters, and all creative people to get their kids engaged in hands-on crafting.

With just a few supplies and minimal effort on your part, your little ones can make the most beautiful works of art that they will be proud to display. On that note, everything you need to know can be found below, so let's grab our craft supplies and reach for the stars!

3, 2, 1 BLAST OFF! Happy crafting my friends!! I hope you love recreating this moon and star craft for preschoolers! #gluedtomycrafts

Your kiddos will love making this super easy and fun paper plate moon & star craft! Just keep scrolling for all the details and free printable from us!

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate

Scissors

Blue Craft Paint

Paint Brush

Loose Craft Glitter

Star Printable - on our landing page

White Cardstock Paper

Yellow Crayon, Marker or Coloring Pencil

Stapler

Directions:

First things first - print off the FREE star printable listed above in the supply list. One print will give you TWO star cutouts {and two chances to make a moon today!}

Next - color one of the star shapes completely yellow and trim it out with your scissors.

Set aside the finished star shape for now.

Up next - the paper plate moon. Grab the plate, along with your scissors.

Cut the paper plate to look like a half moon {use our image as an example.} The best way I can describe it is to cut out a half circle from one side from the paper plate.

Discard the excess piece from the paper plate.

Now you are going to paint your paper plate shape. I went with blue but you can of course change that up!

BTW - while the paint is still wet - go ahead and sprinkle loose craft glitter on top for a little sparkle.

To finish off the paper plate moon craft, simply staple the star shape from earlier, to the paper plate.

And that's it! You can either add some more elements {maybe a smiling face} or go straight to displaying it proudly for ALL to see!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... we've been enjoying making some delicious Mini Gingerbread Houses to hang on the Christmas tree, some tasty Gingerbread Man Oreo Cookies and now this super fun Laced Paper Plate Gingerbread Man Craft!

This cute and easy Gingerbread Man Craft has a lovely laced or threaded edge which looks super cute and is a great way for kids to build their fine motor skills this holiday season.

We liked our paper plate gingerbread man so much that we made him a little friend too, a very cute gingerbread girl! Both of our gingerbread people have lovely 3D paper bows and rosy red cheeks. They're so adorable!

This is a great fine motor Christmas craft for kids of all ages. You'll see from the photos that we laced and threaded all around the outside of our paper plate gingerbread people. We looped our way round on the girl and did a running stitch pattern on the boy. Trying different stitch patterns is a super way to further stretch and develop kids' sewing skills.

We threaded our gingerbread man with white yarn, but you could use ribbon, string, fabric strips or anything else that takes your fancy.

This Laced Paper Plate Gingerbread Man Craft is a great way to encourage your child to be creative and have fun while developing important fine motor skills! They're a super fun and festive way to decorate the home or classroom this Christmas. You could even write a Christmas greeting on the back and share them with friends and family too!

How to Make a Gingerbread Man With a Paper Plate

Fine Motor Gingerbread Man Craft
Craft Supplies:
1 - Start by painting a paper plate with brown acrylic paint.

2 - Next, use a hole punch to make holes all around the rim. Use less holes for easier threading and more holes for more able kids.

3 - Cut a length of white yarn and tape it onto the back of the paper plate. Then invite kids to laced it in and out of the holes. You can let them doing any way they like or show them the looped stitch or running stitch methods we used. (You'll notice that we doubled the yarn to make it thicker and show up more.)

Top Tips For Lacing The Gingerbread Man:

Wrap a piece of sticky tape around the threading end of the yarn, to make it more rigid and easier to poke through the holes.

Use shorter lengths of yarn rather than one long continuous piece.

4 - Keep lacing all around the edge of the gingerbread man and tape the end of the yarn onto the back of the plate.

5 - Now kids can have fun designing there gingerbread man's face. You can simply draw it on or cut it out of coloured paper like we have.

6 - Glue the features onto the face. You'll see we added some googly eyes and some paper eyelashes for our gingerbread girl.

7 - If you want to give your gingerbread man or lady a bow, cut out two shapes like the photo above. If you want to make it as simple as possible, just cut two diamonds and don't worry about the curved edges.

8 - Loop the two diamond shapes over and glue them on to your gingerbread person to make a bow. Then cut a paper circle and glue it to the middle of the bow. We made a hair bow for our gingerbread girl, which you can see above, and a bowtie for our gingerbread boy, which you can see below.

This Laced Paper Plate Gingerbread Man Craft is such a cute and easy Christmas craft for kids to practice their fine motor skills! Have fun!

Now that spring has officially arrived (hooray!), the kiddo and I are enjoying the warmer weather and reading lots of books about bugs, birds, butterflies and gardening. One of our current favorites is The Surprise Garden by Zoe Hall. The pictures are so vibrant and colorful, and the text is short and sweet to keep little ones interested. We created a fun watermelon paper plate craft to go along with the book because, in the end, they enjoyed the spoils of their labor with a fun garden party with all their fruits and veggies.

This is one of the easiest summer paper plate crafts you'll find. Kids will love it!

Watermelon Paper Plate Craft for The Surprise Garden

The Surprise Garden is such a gorgeous book... I'm disappointed that it's not sold new on Amazon anymore. You can still buy it from other sellers, and if you can, I highly recommend it. I'm sure it's probably at a local library, too. The pictures are bright, simple and colorful, and it's the perfect companion to starting out some seeds with your kids to get them excited about gardening. The book is more suited to preschoolers and kindergarteners than older children.

I'm linking this craft up to the National Reading Month Challenge! Please visit and take a look at the other book-related crafts and activities to get your kids excited about reading.

Materials Needed for the Watermelon Paper Plate Craft:

Directions for the Watermelon Paper Plate Craft:

1. Cut the paper plates in half.

2. Paint each half of the paper plate red, leaving an inch or two from the edge blank.

3. Leave a little bit of white space, and paint the green rind around the edge of the plate.

4. Let the red and green paint dry. Once it's completely dry, paint black seeds near the center of the red portion.

5. (Optional) Cut one of the halves into three pieces to create the watermelon thirds you see in the pictures.

And there you have it - a fun watermelon paper plate craft that you can do with the kids in about 30 minutes as long as the paint is not on too thick. I know my son has a bit of trouble with this sometimes and layers it on pretty thick. 🙂

Using Core Words?

First, let's start with "what are core words?" Simply described, they are a small set of words that make up a majority of what we say every day across all settings. This will be our target set of words for teaching and modeling. Some examples of core words: I, he, she, it, like, do, don't, get, give, go, play, open, stop, turn, help, more, on, off, in, out, big, small, hot, cold, etc.

What are the other words that we use? Fringe. Fringe words are important too, but they are more specific to the situation, topic and individual. An example of fringe if we are talking about baseball would be: ball, bat, baseball, base. Or if we are talking about camping: tent, campfire, sleeping bag.

Core words give us power in communication. Adding core to fringe allows the communicator to say much more beyond labeling the item: e.g. - play ball, get on base, big tent, small campfire, get in/out of sleeping bag, I like it, I don't like it, do more, etc.

Try a simple google search on core and fringe vocabulary. You will find a great deal of information. PrAACticalAAC.org offers a wealth of information-tips and resources from many experts in the field. One of the supports found on PrAACticalAAC.org is A Year of Core (set 1 and set 2). Resources to support WordPower and A Year of Core can be found on here ( Symbol Stix or PCS).

The Complex Communication Needs (CCN) team consists of Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Assistive Technology Specialists. Their focus is on supporting students who may not be able to communicate on their own through:

assessment, skill development, and possible funding applications for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)

evaluation of appropriate access methods to communication and other school tasks

building capacity with teachers and educational staff to support their students in using AAC and other communication strategies

Individuals who are unable to meet their daily communication needs using speech alone have a Complex Communication Need (CCN). They and their communication partners may benefit from using alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) tools and strategies, either temporarily or permanently. AAC tools and strategies can enhance or augment natural speech. They can include non-electronic and electronic options. The range of available options includes gestures, signing, paper-based communication systems (e.g. PECS, PODD, paper communication board), and electronic S peech- G enerating C ommunication D evices (SGCD) that use iPads or other tablet, smartphone or computer equipment (e.g. Accent, NovaChat, GridPad, TobiiDynavox device, LAMP app, TouchChat app, Proloquo2Go app, Unity vocabulary set, PODD vocabulary set, WordPower vocabulary set) .

Welcome to the Tar Heel Reader, a collection of free, easy-to-read, and accessible books on a wide range of topics. Each book can be speech enabled and accessed using multiple interfaces, including touch screens, the IntelliKeys with custom overlays, and 1 to 3 switches. Click here to learn more about alternative access methods.

You may write your own books using pictures from the huge collection at Flickr or pictures you upload. All books should be complete, edited, and revised to the best of your ability before publishing them to the site. While you are working on them, please save them as drafts.

Note the little well icon in the upper left corner of the page; clicking it will allow you to access the main menu. You can also click the settings icon to change settings on some pages.

Your browser is unsupported. The site should work for finding and reading books but you will not have switch access or the ability to write books. We recommend that you upgrade to a modern browser or install Chrome Frame.
You are in Classic mode. You will not have access to all of the features of the site but it may work better on older computers and web browsers. Click this text to leave Classic mode.
