Whenever hosting a kids' party, we always like to incorporate an activity that will keep the kids busy and let them be creative at the same time! For our recent llama birthday party, we had the kids create their very own cute as can be llama paper plate craft. A few simple white paper plates were transformed with bright, pretty paints into the most adorable llamas you've ever seen. The kids had a great time making these together and love taking them home as an added favor!
Begin by having the children cut their white paper plate in half. We suggest using kids safety scissors.
Next, have them trace and cut out the free printable llama head silhouette onto 1/2 of the paper plate. They can use that same half paper plate to cut 4 rectangles for the legs and one small oval for the tail.
Have kids add a line of Elmer's Glue to the bottom of the neck of the llama head and glue it to the left, back hand side of the paper plate. Glue the legs and tail onto the back side of the paper plate as shown.
Now it's time for them to get creative and colorful! Allow kids to paint their llama however they would like. All one color, rainbow, polka dots; it's totally up to them!
Once they are finished and the paint has dried, have them use a black fine point tipped marker to add the eye and smile detailing.
Their little llama is now ready to party!
