Paper Plate Stingray Craft

Spread the love

A few months ago we went to a fair while we were on vacation. My daughter became fascinated by the squirting race game that they had. She referred to it as “the contest”. We all played the game together and our daughter won of course. After her victory, she was able to select her prize. She picked a purple stingray to take home with her. She loves that stingray. Her stuffed stingray was the inspiration for this cute and easy paper plate craft. This is perfect for the summer.

My daughter named her stingray Pinky despite the fact that he was purple, so purple was the color that we chose.
