How to Make a Girl Paper Plate Pilgrim for Thanksgiving

Earlier today I showed you how to make a Boy Paper Plate Pilgrim for Thanksgiving.  But, how can I show you how to make a boy Pilgrim without showing you how to make the girl.  After all, women were an important part of the Pilgrims and their new colony.  Women were a big help when it came to creating a Harvest.  And, if it wasn’t for a successful harvest there would have been no Thanksgiving.  I shutter at the thought.  So, let’s make a Girl Paper Plate Pilgrim for Thanksgiving.

Step 2

It looks really good if you take a black marker and draw an outline around the outer edge.

 

Step 3

Cut a fourth of a second paper plate and color the center of it black.  Then glue it to the bottom of the first plate.

 

Step 4

Paint or use a black marker to draw an oval for each eye and a letter C for the nose and a curved line for the smile.

 

Step 5

Paint or color in a pink circle for each cheek.  Then draw a black letter C on either side of the smile.

 

Step 6

Add strips of yarn for hair… glue down.

 

Step 7

Now just glue a larger plate behind the first plate.
