Paper Plate Christmas Wreath

Supplies

• Paper plates (1 per child)

• Green paint (or green colouring pencils/markers)

• Paintbrushes

• Scissors

• Glue

• Red pom poms, sequins, stickers, or cut-out “berries”

• Ribbon or string for hanging

• Optional: glitter, foam shapes, Christmas stickers, patterned paper scraps

Steps

1. Prepare the wreath base

   • Give each child a paper plate.

   • Have them cut out the centre so only the outer ring remains — this becomes the wreath shape.

2. Paint the wreath

   • Children paint the entire ring green.

   • Set aside to dry for a few minutes (or use markers if you need a faster option).

3. Decorate

   • Once dry, children glue on red pom poms to look like holly berries.

   • Add sequins, glitter, Christmas stickers, or anything festive you have available.

4. Add a bow

   • Tie a small bow using ribbon and glue it to the bottom or top of the wreath.

5. Attach the hanger

   • Tape or glue a loop of ribbon or string to the back so it can be hung up.

6. Optional: Add a name tag

   • Kids can write their names or a Christmas message on a small piece of card and glue it onto the wreath.
