Leaf Plate

Quick to make but great fun for younger children, this apple collage makes a super autumn or healthy eating craft.

You will need:

A plain dinner plate
Red and yellow porcelain paint (or acrylic paint if the plate is only to be used as decoration)
Paintbrush
Scrap of card

Fold the card in half and cut out a leaf shape as your stencil. We used a very simple shape but you could use a more intricate one, or several different shapes. Look at our leaf colouring pagees for inspiration.

Hold the stencil still on the plate (younger children will need this done for them) and stipple on the paint, making sure that the brush is vertical to the plate so the paint doesn’t go under the stencil.

Carefully lift the stencil and repeat the design elsewhere on the plate. We did some leaves in red and then mixed the two colors together.

When the plate is finished, use kitchen towel to remove any smudges.
Follow the instructions to fix the porcelain paint, or, if using acrylic paint, leave the plate to dry.
