Portrait plate painting

31 Comment

A great craft project for your children to do. These plates last forever if kept with care and are so special.

Material

1 Small round white plate
3 - 6 Craft Paint - pots with different colours
1 Paint brush

Method

Set up an area that can get a bit messy and lay down some newspaper for less mess.
Place the pots of craft paint, paint brush and the plate down on the newspaper.
Set your child/children up at the area which they can paint and ask them to paint a picture of themselves for you to show off or give as a present to someone special.

Notes

A fun project for children to do!

I completely adore my kids. I really like talking to all kinds of people, especially those with similar interests and hobbies. I love my shed cooking and making things from scratch.

  We made a bowl for the kid’s dad for his birthday – it looks great.

A lovely activity. I am trying to think of crafty activities to do with my 2 year old so that he can give his Nonna and Grandma lovely gifts for Mothers Day and this is exactly what I was looking for!

Our kids made these at Prep for Mothers Day and Fathers Day. I don’t know how they sealed them/baked them/set the paint, but they have lasted years. I never put them in the dishwasher, hand wash only, and they are only used for special occasions.

Definitely need to seal this or use special paints. My son did it at childcare and the paint came right off.

Great idea. You could make a few at a time and put them away for when grandparents have birthdays as these would make a fab gift.
