How to Put Together the Zebra Paper Plate Craft

Now, it is time for the fun part! Let’s put together this cute and fun paper plate zebra. It’s so simple that even your little ones can try to do it with minimal help.

The first step to creating this zebra craft is to paint the black stripes inside the paper plate. If you have little ones, a simple way to help them is by tracing the triangles with a pencil on each side of the paper plate. Then, encourage them to paint the triangles black.

Draw a light circle on the bottom of the paper plate. This is the Zebra’s nose. Paint it black. Add two black eyes to the center of the paper plate.

While the paper plate dries, cut out a circle from the construction paper for the hair between the Zebra’s ears. Then, cut out two triangle ears from the white paper. Paint a smaller pink triangle in each white triangle. Then, glue the ears and the black hair to the Zebra.

That is it! You are all done and have an adorable zebra that your kid has made all their own.
