Paper plates can literally be turned into hundreds of creative craft projects that your kids will enjoy in and out of school. Cut out the center of your collage plate for a simple and functional crown, necklace, or picture frame. Make adorable puppets from collage plates. Start by drawing on some simple features such as a mouth, eyes and a nose. You can use wiggly eyes also. Now add embellishments such as hair, necklace, earrings, a necktie, or hair ribbon to really give your puppet personality and charm. Finally, glue a jumbo craft stick to the back and put on a hit performance of your favorite book. Paper plates can be adhered together to make tambourines. Simply seal half way with a stapler or other sturdy closing, fill with beans, beads, buttons or rocks, and close the rest of the way. Kids can decorate their instruments all by themselves.
