DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Father's Day Paper Plate Wreath

This is good scissor skills practice for young children - the Father's Day craft pieces are all circles making them fairly easy to cut out.

Cut the center out of the paper plate to leave a round "donut" shape. This will form the base of the wreath. (This may require adult assistance).
Optional: Paint the donut shape blue. Then you don't have to worry about covering the plate completely if you prefer not to.
Print out the template pieces - you may wish to print 2 or 3 copies of the template depending on how full you want your wreath to be -- our photo is a mix of three templates (but we didn't use up all the pieces).
Color the 'DAD' template pieces (if using the B&W version).
Cut out the template pieces. This will take quite awhile -- you can provide assistance if you like (depending on the patience of your child).
Glue your template pieces to completely cover your paper plate "donut".
You can tie a bow and paste it on to decorate further.
You can put a piece of yarn on the back to hang it.
You can do these as a group with younger children -- let each child cut out and color one or two eggs, possibly print their names on it, and glue it on the group wreath.

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
