If your kids are huge fans of Minions, you'll understand how they can go wild over anything yellow! My daughters have been absolutely obsessed with Minions ever since they first appeared in the movies. Even before the release of the latest film, they’ve been completely captivated by these little yellow creatures. Pink has been their go-to color for ages, but now everything needs to be yellow! So, when I planned a crafting session for the weekend, I knew making Minion crafts would be a hit.
I stumbled upon some bright yellow and blue paper plates at the store and instantly got inspired. It seemed perfect for turning them into Minions. With a bit of imagination and creativity, we could bring these iconic characters to life!
Here’s what we gathered to get started:
**Materials You’ll Need:**
- Yellow and blue paper plates (if not already colored, you can paint them)
- Black and white craft foam or card
- Pom-poms or large googly eyes
- Black pipe cleaners
- Aluminum foil
- Permanent markers
We had a blast getting everything ready. Having a picture of a Minion nearby helped us mimic the classic features.
To create our Minions, here’s what we did:
1. Cut the yellow plate into an oval shape to form the head.
2. From the blue plate, we shaped it into dungarees-like attire.
3. Used a strip of black craft foam to create the iconic goggle strap across the face.
4. For the eyes, we layered aluminum foil, white foam, and finally placed a black pom-pom in the center.
5. Cut another strip of black foam for the goggle strap.
6. We used leftover paper plates to create arms and feet.
7. Small pieces of pipe cleaner were twisted into hair.
8. A crescent-shaped piece of black foam became the mouth.
9. Lastly, we drew intricate details on both the head and body using a permanent marker.
The process was as fun as the end result! Each child added their own touch, giving their Minions unique personalities. Rose, who’s four, spent extra time decorating the Minion's tummy with drawings. Charlotte, also four, crafted a rather melancholy-looking Minion. And Molly, at seven, drew the eyes and hair herself, adding a cupcake and a banana for her Minion to hold.
This project was super easy and didn’t require much artistic skill. The vibrant colors of the paper plates made it simple to replicate the Minion look. Plus, since there are so many different types of Minions, we had the freedom to experiment with various designs.
In the end, this turned out to be a delightful and educational activity. It allowed the kids to express themselves creatively while learning about shapes and colors. Whether you're a Minion enthusiast or just looking for a fun family project, this craft is sure to bring joy.
So, why not gather your supplies and give it a try? You might find yourself falling in love with Minions all over again!
