How do you make an animal paper plate? 

Ohh I love simple and easy paper plate craft especially when they involve animals! 

To create the animals, I like to cut out square shapes out of construction paper and kind of work my way around creating a simple animal. 

For example: If you are looking to make a monkey craft with paper for kids, then, be sure to: 

•  Create the ears circular with the brown paper pieces

• Then, use two black construction paper pieces for the eyes 

• Use red construction paper pieces for the mouth.

And, voila! You’ve an epic and easy monkey paper plate craft made easy!
