How to make a paper plate ufo
Take the paper plate and fold it in half, add a staple just below the fold line on either side so that the paper plate stays in shape and can stand freely and rock from side to side!
Glue some buttons around the edge of the plate to make the ufo lights.
Cut out the dome shape of the cockpit and add your alien to the front of it. We cut our aliens out of coloured paper but you could use pens, paints or any method that you like!
Glue the two pieces together and your rocking paper plate ufo is finished!
This little toilet roll pterodactyl craft is so sweet and easy to make!
My little boy has always been really interested in dinosaurs. In his toy box he probably has a bigger selection than Jurassic world does. We’ve been collecting them from all over the place since he was really small, Some are new but many are ones that we have picked up in charity shops or at second hand sales. When it comes to dinosaur crafts though we have always struggled – they aren’t the easiest thing to Make! Today my little boy wanted to make some pterodactyls to hang up on his bedroom ceiling so we gave it a whirl and came up with these cuties! We think they look great, what do you think?
Here’s what we used
Empty Toilet rolls
Coloured and white card
Paint and paintbrushes
Scissors
Glue
Black marker
How to make this toilet roll pterodactyl craft
Start by taking your empty toilet roll and coating it in your chosen color of paint. Whilst your toilet roll is aside drying, take your colored card and cut out a diamond shape for the face.
Cut out and glue on two eyes and a triangle beak (we cut out a diamond and folded in half so that the mouth can open and shut!). Glue the pterodactyls’s face on to the toilet roll body
Fold a piece of colored paper in half and draw a wing shape on to it starting at the fold line. Cut out the wings and glue them centrally on the back of the toilet roll.
Cut out two little leg and feet shapes as above and then glue the top of the legs on the inside of the bottom of the toilet roll.
Your toilet roll pterodactyl is finished, don’t these look awesome?!
