If you’re lucky enough to live near to a real farm that’s open to the public, this would be a wonderful paper plate craft to do before or after your visit. 

Kids will love to make their own bovine buddy to play with!

The great thing about this paper plate cow craft is that it’s super simple to make. Pretty much all you need is a paper plate and some coloured paper.

(As if that wasn’t easy enough, I’ve also uploaded the hand drawn cow craft template that we used too. It is simple enough to draw your own shapes but you might find it useful. Be warned though, it is only a rough sketched template and nothing fancy!)

Fancy a quick Cow Joke before we get started?

Q – What did the mother cow say to the baby cow?

A – It’s pasture bedtime! 

Enough joking around, grab your paper plates and let’s get ready for some moo-vellous farm-themed fun! 

Turn a Plain Paper Plate Into a Fun Cow!

Craft Supplies:

  • White Paper Plate
  • Coloured Craft Paper or Cardstock
  • Wiggle Eyes
  • Marker Pen
  • Scissors
  • Glue

How To Make a Paper Plate Cow

Paper Plate Cow Craft step 1.

1 – Start by tracing the cow’s features onto coloured paper or cardstock. You’ll need, black patches and outer eyes, a pink nose and two white ears. You can sketch these by hand easily enough or use the cow template we used. It’s only a rough hand drawn sketch I’m afraid, but you might find it useful.

2 – Next glue the cow’s facial features onto the front of the paper plate.

Paper Plate Cow Craft step 6.

6 – Finally finish off your paper plate cow by drawing on any other facial features you’d like. We added nostrils, a smile and some small eyebrows.

7 – You could also add some paper horns or a bell around it’s neck too if you fancy!

Now your lovely paper plate cow is ready to get mooing! Why not craft up a whole herd?
