Prep Time: 5 minutes
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Materials

  • construction paper
  • paper plates
  • scissors
  • glue stick
  • pencil

Instructions

  • Scroll down to the bottom of this post to find the paper plate campfire craft template to print.
  • Cut out all of the template pieces, and trace them on your desired color of construction paper or cardstock. Cut out all of the colored pieces.
  • You can also print the template on white cardstock, and use markers or crayons to color the pieces.
  • Glue the tent pole on top of the back piece of the tent and the tree trunks to the tree tops.
  • Glue the firewood together, and then glue the yellow flames to the orange ones.
  • Finish assembling the individual pieces by glueing the tent flaps to the front of the tent and the flames on the firewood.
  • Cut two half-circle pieces of craft paper to fit the inside of the paper plate. I choose green and blue for the grass and sky. If you’d like a night sky, use black paper instead of blue. Glue these to the interior of the plate.
  • Next, place the assembled craft pieces to the inside of the plate craft to resemble a campsite. When satisfied, glue all the pieces down.
  • You’re done!
