20 Paper Plate Animal Crafts

by Awilla

Animal Paper Plate Crafts
Animal Paper Plate Crafts

Create all of these twenty animal paper plate crafts just from paper plates (and a few other supplies) to pair with a book or movie! The perfect way to teach kids about animals, colors, shapes, and more. Use these to keep the kid’s minds and imaginations still creating even while at home.

My twins enjoy creating some of this especially the pig and chicken, I believe what they really enjoy was getting their hands dirty. But these are so easy to create and the best part is that you probably have all the supplies at home.

Here are some basic supplies you’ll want to have on hand to make any/all of these adorable paper plate animals.

  • Paper Plates (in bulk)
  • Paints (use glow in the dark paints as a bonus)
  • Yarn
  • Google Eyes
