Circus Theme Storytime

It's Crafting Time!

This is a cute and easy clown craft. 

What I Used:

Paper Plate
Yarn
Markers
Glue
Popsicle Stick

Water Balloon

Ribbon

Wiggle Eyes

Artificial Flower

• Draw a clown face on the paper plate. (For the eyes you can draw them or use wiggle eyes. I love the sticker wiggle eyes!)
• Glue on yarn for hair (the crazier the better).
• Add a small balloon (I used a water balloon) for the nose. To attach the nose I poked a small hole through the paper plate and slid the balloon knot through it.
• Glue the clown plate to a large Popsicle stick.
• Add a ribbon to the stick.
• Add ribbon or flowers to female clowns hair. 

Great Books for this storytime are Circus by Lois Ehlert, Sidewalk circus / presented by Paul Fleischman and Kevin Hawkes, Last night I dreamed a circus by Maya Gottfried ; paintings by Robert Rahway Zakanitch, Circus parade by Harriet Ziefert ; pictures by Tanya Roitman, and The circus is coming : a picture parade by Hilary Knight.

Happy Crafting!
