Paper Plate Grinch Craft

With Christmas approaching and kids excited about their presents, one person they do no want to see is the naughty Grinch (dressed up as Santa), who is always on the lookout for some nice toys to nab!!

It’s almost December and that means my kids and I love doing as many Winter and Christmas craft activities as we can. 

My children love making crafts that tell a story or have movable parts. They really enjoyed my paper plate nativity craft because we were able to use it to tell the Christmas story. 

This Christmas paper plate craft with the Grinch looking as if he is trying to steal presents is very easy for kids to make using my step by step craft instructions and free template provided at the bottom of the post.

My paper Grinch craft bookmark is hugely popular so I know little children will love making this pretty Christmas scene featuring the mischievous Grinch.

Why not encourage children to use this Christmas paper plate craft to tell a story.  You can ask them lots of questions:-

Ask them where did the Grinch find the presents in the sack?

Do they think he will put the presents below the tree or will he try to escape with them?

Will someone stop him from escaping?

Who is he pretending to be?

These are great ideas to get little kids thinking.
