Crafty Tuesday – Cardboard Pizza

This Cardboard Pizza craft is super easy to do and has the ability to entertain your children while you cook dinner!  I had all of this stuff around my house and chances are that you do too.

Supplies:
Construction Paper
Cardboard Box (we used a Kix cereal Box)
Brown paper (bag, construction paper, or packaging paper from an Amazon box)
Scissors
Glue

First I cut two triangles out of the cardboard (Kix) box.  Then we used our brown paper bag (leftover from a Sunday paper) and wrapped the cardboard making sure that the entire triangle was brown.

Then we rolled up some of the packaging paper to form a pizza crust and glued that on to our brown triangle.  We put a hardback book on top to help squish it down when it dried.

Out of construction paper we cut pepperoni, pineapple, peppers, onions, and olives.  My three-year-old enjoyed cutting the pineapples, onions, and peppers since all she had to do was cut the strips I made for her.

A few days later while I was making dinner the girls sat at the table and made their pizzas.  I didn’t need to help them at all.  Each girl had her pizza, a pile of toppings, and some glue.  We have had a lot of pretend picnics with our pizza already!
