We love paper plate crafts and this paper plate sunflower is a simple but fun one. It’s pretty easy and just involves sticking everything into place.
You will need:
- Paper plate
- Brown tissue paper for the middle of the flower
- Yellow card for the petals
- Green card for the leaves
- A wooden stick (if you don’t have one – try using a strong straw)
- Cellotape and glue
Stick down all the petals first, and then the centre of the sunflower.
This paper plate sunflower was made by Z.
If you want it to stand up, then you can use some plasticine to make a base for it at the bottom of a pot like this:
It keeps it standing quite firmly upright. Ours is standing in this clay pot, also made by Z

I’ll try this with my daughter, it looks like a lot of fun but not too complicated for little hands #pintorials
Love this 🙂 My son made a similar one recently at a playgroup thing but with the middle cut out to make it into a mask. #pintorials
Cute kids craft!
This looks like lots of fun, and would probably be a lot more successful than our attempts at growing them! Thanks for linking up to the parenting pin it party
