kiddo craft: Paper Plate Portraits

Wednesday, November 7, 2012 4 Comments

This activity is super fun to do, for you & the kiddos.  When we did this at V’s third birthday – I do believe the ADULTS had more fun than the kids (through fits of giggles – I think my brother made like five of them).  It really came down to – how silly can we be in creating these instead of making a self-portrait.  I suppose it will depend on how silly your group is…ours…we are very giggly, it doesn’t take much to get us rolling :)  Now, little miss V is not really using scissors yet, but, how amazing would this be for the kiddos to go through old magazines cutting out the pieces?!  This is definitely an activity I WILL be doing many times over!  Once again, like most of my kiddo crafts – this one is very easy & requires very few materials.

Materials/Tools

paper plates (I like the small ones for kiddo projects)

old magazines





scissors

glue (white glue and/or glue stick)

optional:

googly eyes

pipe cleaners

markers/crayons

kool-aid dyed pasta

 

Directions:

Start by cutting out the facial features from your old magazines to use for your portraits; eyes, nose, hair, lips, etc.  I had V help me sort each facial feature out all on separate plates on the table (great activity for sorting & recognition).  Next, add all the other materials for this project that you wish to use to the table, too.  And, that’s pretty much it!  Each kiddo gets a blank paper plate, some glue, and free rein to create!  Let the giggles commence :)

When I look at these I can see some celebrity look-alikes – hehe!

How about you, can you spot the celebrity portrait?

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
The depth & complexity of a middle schooler. 🧐🤔💭

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
