At ease: 50 cool ideas for children's creativity
Just recently, while preparing to move, I found in the kitchen cabinets a lot of mismatched paper plates left over from several years of picnics and outdoor parties. All the advantages of a paper plate immediately came to mind - it is perfectly round, slightly convex, almost always divided into sectors, it is easy to cut and bend, it does not immediately get wet, unlike ordinary cardboard, and it is a very inexpensive material for implementing ideas, so I just couldn’t raise my hand to throw away all this abundance.
And so I decided to look on the Internet to see what could be created from them, not only beautiful or funny, but also at least a little functional. Well, by tradition, I share the most interesting options with you. Of course, basically all the ideas belong to the category of children's creativity, but some options may also be useful for those who do not need to keep their kids busy with fun games.
I'll start with the “zoo”, which is very easy to make. You will need paint, scissors, paper for drawing the missing parts, or ready-made printed parts.
Two representatives of the cat family. Leo is more relevant than ever. By the way, his eyes are made of plastic spoons:
A cat with a chenille wire mustache is adorable:
The dog is from the same series. Moreover, if it is not expected that the finished composition will be stored, some eyes can be used repeatedly. And water-soluble paint, for example, gouache, is easily washed off, so you can have fun playing even with only one paper plate:
And here are some more funny cats and dogs, each from two plates:
The decorative panel “Jolly Whale in Profile” will also require a little more drawing and cutting on paper:
But a half-front view of a rhinoceros can be carved from one plate:
Among the mammals, there was also a perky monkey:
Ornithology lovers also have something to explore:
Unfortunately, I didn’t find a photo of the finished pigeon according to this scheme, but in the picture everything is also quite clear:
Two types of aquariums and a turtle:
A couple of insects. I like that they have moving parts. The worm hides in an apple, and the wings of a ladybug will hide, for example, congratulations or the baby’s daily routine:
This chameleon simply amazed me. The lower plate is painted in different colors (until then it could well serve as a palette), and the lizard itself is carved into the upper one. You rotate the top part and the chameleon changes color. Magically!
Paper plates can be turned into Noah's Ark or UFO:
Here are some interesting bunnies. The first serves as a basket for sweets:
And the second is a whole educational game. You need to feed the bunny cookies with the number of chocolate chips that fell on the card. The bunny is happy!
Paper plates are great musical instruments. Rubber bands stretched over a banjo will actually sound:
And for a real tambourine, it is better to equip the structure of plates with bells:
The plates will also be useful for creating a fun outfit for a photo shoot - let’s make masks and hats from them:
Kids will love the sundial and weather clock:
What do you think of the idea of the board game “Cook”? In my childhood there was a similar game with cards, but here everything is much more clear, and it looks very appetizing:
The topic of paper plates and weaving is extensive. Moreover, the plate is used both as a machine and as a finished frame:
Compositions using weaving and isothread techniques:
This excellent material can be used to make holiday panels and original mandalas, you just need to use your imagination:
And here is a completely practical little thing - a gaming bag. You make the holes with a hole punch, and the baby laces the two parts together, creating a durable accessory in which you can actually store something:
An organizer for small items is created using the same principle:
Here's another great idea:
These designs are much more complex, but they also look impressive - a real project for a weekend activity with a child:
It would be great to give homemade cookies in a box like this:
An idea for those whose friends have not been spared by “Pokemonomania”:
The plates can also be used to make reusable stencils for painting:
Stylish floor lamp:
Or even a designer dress!

Materials
In addition to newspaper, you will need scissors and homemade paste. It is enough to dilute the flour in water until it becomes liquid sour cream, and then add boiling water and bring it to the consistency of jelly over low heat. Use completely cooled. The substance is not stored for a long time, so you should prepare a small portion before use.
For the products we will need basic shapes. This role can be perfectly played by simple saucers, cups, glasses and other elements of kitchen utensils that you want to create using papier-mâché. Experts recommend training on simpler objects, such as saucers. It is better to decorate with paints. But if you plan to create a piece of original art, jewelry is up to your taste. Anything can be used: threads, beads, ribbons, cotton wool, small toys, etc.
Papier-mâché plate made from egg cartons
Almost any old paper can become waste paper, which is recycled and turned into new paper. There are not many exceptions, but there are some - for example, egg cartons. Modern industry cannot yet turn them into anything else, alas. But you can! They easily turn into papier-mâché paste, from which you can model anything you want, including these cool plates.

Rectangular papier-mâché plate
Of course, of course, a plate is something designed for pouring soup and is round in shape. Well, or for potatoes with a cutlet and a flat one. Templates, yeah. However, if we continue the associative series, we can easily reach the point that the plate may not be functional, but decorative, and not at all round, but, say, square or rectangular. And why not, if it's beautiful?

Instructions for creating dishes from papier-mâché with decoupage
We make a themed plate with an original design.
Prepare the selected kitchen utensil, materials for adhesive composition and decoration.
Prepare the mass:
Shred the paper and soak in warm water for several hours.
When everything swells, stir until smooth.
Separate the material using gauze.
Mix the resulting substance with PVA and dilute with glue.
You should get a homogeneous elastic structure that will hold its shape. Make a ball for testing.
Some craftsmen add a few spoons of putty to make the craft stronger.
Manufacturing process:
Lubricate the base with vegetable oil or any cream so that you can easily separate the craft later.
Turn it upside down and form a copy out of the mass.
Work with a spoon. This way you can create a smooth surface without much effort and without getting dirty.
Let the product dry for 2 to 5 days - depending on the thickness of the layer of mass and size.
Separate the bowl from the papier-mâché. This is what happens.
Having received an independent workpiece, the next step is to putty it. Let dry. Cover with white gouache. Thanks to this, the watercolor will lay down easier and the decoupage process will be easier. Glue the chosen motif for decoration.
After the napkin with the pattern has dried, paint everything with watercolor mixed with gouache. This is not necessary, but in our case this is the only way to achieve the desired tone.
Decorate the edge.
Cover everything with varnish.
This way you can make any creation that will become a wonderful decoration or gift.

Instructions for creation
Prepare the material - tear or cut the newspaper into small squares.
Place the selected piece of kitchen utensil upside down. Soak each piece in water until thoroughly soaked.
Cover the container with pieces, gluing them, but only from the outside. The excess is then trimmed off.
When finished with the first layer, spread with paste. If you don't want to cook the substance, use plain PVA. The coating should be thin and all around so that it dries quickly and covers the maximum amount of paper.
The second and subsequent layers follow the same example: wet newspaper, glue, etc.
Make sure that the corners do not puff up and try to avoid folds.
Open the last, sixth layer with glue and let the craft dry.
The more coatings, the thicker the future dishes. But it’s better not to overdo it and not make more than 10 pieces. Although very thin work will not hold the desired shape. Therefore, the main thing is to find the “golden mean”.
Leave to dry overnight.
When everything has set well the next day, trim the edges using scissors, focusing on the edges of the base item.
Some craftsmen recommend sanding with “zero” sandpaper. So that the surface acquires the appearance closest to the original.
Remove the base - you won't need it anymore.
Moving on to the design, decide on the style in which you want to see the craft.
It is better to initially paint everything with white gouache. Additional paint will, in any case, make the bowl stronger.
Then you can choose any other color and decorating elements or the nature of the painting.
The initial layer should be white, as newspaper fonts may show through, which is not very nice.
When dyeing, try to minimize the use of water, otherwise the item being processed risks becoming limp.
