Crafts in motion are so much fun. First, you get to enjoy making the craft and then you get the added bonus of playing with it after. We have made crafts that bobble, some that pop-up and even ones that play winter sports. Spring is just a couple of weeks away and it is the perfect time to fly a kite.

Hey Diddle Diddle Paper Plate Craft
*Contains affiliate links*
My daughter loves her bedtime stories. She goes through phases each week of which book is her favorite. This week her favorites are the new Dr. Seuss book ‘Which Pet Should I Get‘ & ‘My Little Mother Goose‘.
‘My Little Mother Goose’ is filled with all of the classic nursery rhymes that I knew as a child. Hey Diddle Diddle is one that we love in particular.
My daughter was very excited to make a craft of one of her favorite nursery rhymes.
The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon Paper Plate Craft
Mai wanted to make sure that the dish & spoon were the same as the dish and spoon illustrated in the book, right down to the bow on the spoon.
What you will need:
Paper plates
Acrylic paint (Pink & purple)
Googly eyes (Big & medium)
School glue & a hot glue gun (Use caution when operating a hot glue gun. Adult use is recommended.)
Purple Ribbon
Directions:
Paint a paper plate in the pink & let it dry.
Cut a spoon shape out of another plate & paint it purple & let it dry.
Glue large googly eyes to the plate.
Paint a ring around the plate.
Paint the rest of the face onto the plate.
Paint a face & add googly eyes onto the spoon as well. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the spoon’s neck.
Cut 2 pipe cleaners in half & glue the pieces to the back of the plate to form arms & legs. You will only need one pipe cleaner for the spoon, cut into quarters.
My daughter did a beautiful job & already requested to do the cow jumping over the moon for the next time.
