Paper Plate Beach Ball Instructions

Using a pencil, draw lines to divide the paper plate into 6 triangles. I used a ruler to help me draw straight lines. See picture below.

You don’t need to draw lines on the paper plate. You can simply have your kids paint the plate how they want.

A paper plate with pencil lines dividing the paper plate into six equal pieces.

Next, paint each triangle. We used acrylic paint that we had left over from another project.

The paper plate that had pencil lines dividing it into six equal pieces is being painted. One section is being painted pink.

Then, we painted each triangle a different color, but if you want you can use 3 different colors. Let the paint dry completely.

A paper plate that was divided into six equal parts was painted. One section is teal, one section is medium pink, another section is light blue, another section is dark pink, another section is dark blue and another section is light pink.

Next, cut a small circle from a piece of white paper. Glue the circle in the center of your painted paper plate.

I hope you enjoy making this paper plate beach ball craft with your kids.

Other Ways To Modify This Craft

Instead of using a paint brush to paint the triangles, you can get creative. Your kids can use sponges or Q tips to paint the paper plate.

If your kids didn’t paint straight lines between the different sections, after the paint has dried, you can glue a piece of yarn or string separating the different sections. This will hide the uneven lines.
