Mario Kart Paper Plate Craft

Happy Mario Day! That’s right, March 10 (MAR10) is Mario Day! We love Mario in our house and to celebrate I’m sharing this Mario Kart Paper Plate Craft! Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch is one of our favorite games!

Materials

2 large white paper plates
1 black construction paper
1 white construction paper
Black paint
Paint brush
Scissors
Glue stick
Red crayon
Green crayon

Directions

1. Cut out the inside rim of each paper plate and discard.

2. With a paintbrush and black paint, paint both paper plate rims black. Set aside for 30 minutes to dry.

3. Cut out four (1 inch wide x 6 inch long) strips from the black construction paper.

4. Once dried, flip each plate over. Apply glue from the glue stick on both ends of a black strip and attach to the back of a plate, directly in the middle, horizontally. Apply glue to both sides of a second strip and attach in the middle of the plate, vertically. Repeat these steps for the remaining paper plate.

5. Draw 2 medium circles on the white construction paper. I used the lid of a spice jar and traced around it. With the scissors, cut both circles out.

6. Use the red crayon to draw and color a large “M” on a circle. On the other one, draw and color a large “L” with the green crayon.
