Paper Plate Tomb Craft

Cut one of the white paper plates in half with scissors.

Using the scissors, cut and opening for the tomb on one of the two plate pieces.

I wanted the back of my tomb to be dark. Since the plates had a coating on their face-up surface, I found that this black Painters Paint Marker worked well. You could color the entire inside if your child wanted to add stickers of Jesus inside the tomb to their plate.

Paint the bottom of both plate pieces with grey paint using the sponge brush. I found that the paint dries quickly, which is nice when dealing with kids.

Once the paint has dried, staple the plate together to form a pocket.

Once you have the tomb all put together, you are ready to decorate. I used an adhesive tape runner to add some natural moss. I liked the way that the moss gave the tomb more dimension.

Using the “He Lives” Sticker Scenes, let the children decorate the rest of the tomb with the resurrection scene. They will have fun adding the animals and angel to the tomb to create their own perfect Paper Plate Tomb.

Stand back and watch your kids enjoy this Easter craft. It is the perfect craft idea for this Easter season. If you are looking for more Christ Centered Easter Ideas make sure to check out my Resurrection Rolls Recipe, Jelly Bean Easter Prayer Jars, and Family Easter Service Project ideas.
