Cut and Paste Pizza Craft
This Cut and Paste Pizza Craft is a fun way for kids to build their own pretend pizza while practicing cutting, gluing, and creativity. It is also a great opportunity to talk about food groups and healthy choices in a simple, hands-on way. Kids can mix and match toppings to create a pizza that looks just right to them. We have included both a full color version and a black and white version so children can color their own printable templates too.
This easy craft for kids works well at home, in the classroom, or as part of a food theme unit. If you are looking for other printable foods try the Ice Cream Cone Printable.

These simple yet fun cut and paste printables were exactly what I was looking for. I’m a speech-language pathologist, and I was looking for some “craftivities” to use as positive reinforcement for my clients while they work on their speech and language goals. Thanks a million!
