- We made this 3 dimensional. As such put another paper plate back to back with your new shape (the side that you eat on will face each other). This gives you a bowed container shape.
- Glue the two paper plates together.
- Paint the carriage using any colors that you wish. We chose colors to match our wrapping paper. Feel free to use blues or pinks.
- Cut circles out of two other paper plates for the wheels. We used a cup to make the circle shape.
- Cut a heart shape spoke of the wheel.
- Paint a coordinating color of your choose.
- Paint the Styrofoam ball a flesh color. We placed the ball on a small paper cup to dry between coats.
- Glue Google eyes.
- Curl a chenille stick around a pencil and insert in the Styrofoam ball head.
- Insert Popsicle stick into the bottom of the baby head.
- Paint and glue the wheels.
- Attach head by gluing Popsicle stick to the inside back portion of the carriage.
