Materials

  • Paper plates
  • Brown paint
  • Paintbrush
  • White cardstock
  • Colored cardstock or construction paper
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • Horse template

Instructions

  • Download the free horse template, print and cut out the pieces.
  • Begin by painting your paper plate in a thin coat of brown paint and let it dry completely.
  • Glue the eyes towards the top of the paper plate.
  • Next, use the brown marker to draw on the nostrils and mouth on the cream muzzle.
  • Place the muzzle just beneath the eyes, in the middle of the paper plate and glue it down.
  • Position the horse’s mane at the top of the paper plate and glue or tape it down. We’ve found tape works the best on painted paper plates.
  • Finish off by gluing the horse’s ears to the back of the paper plate.
