Step By Step Direction to Make the Cardboard Pizza

Take a large sheet of cardboard and use a plate or compass to draw a circle. Cut it out and divide it into 8 equal parts with a Pencil. Now cut it again.

Now you’ve got 8 triangular cardboard pieces.

Start painting each slice, leaving a 1 cm gap at the edge of the crust. This yellow paint represents the cheese. Don’t forget to paint a long strip of cardboard yellow too; we’ll use it later to create extra cheese pieces.

While the paint dries, let’s prepare the toppings with thick paper. Use 250 gsm paper to draw and cut out the details.

To speed things up, use a circular stencil for drawing. It’s optional but saves time, especially if you’re making several crafts.

Draw tomatoes or ham on red paper, olives on black, mushrooms on white, and basil leaves on green. Then, cut them out with precision scissors. Kids can join in on this step and even create their own toppings.

Once all the toppings are cut out and the paint on the cardboard base is dry, your pizza set is ready for play!

Let your child get creative with arranging the toppings and serving them on plates.

There are countless cardboard toy ideas, and we absolutely adore this one.

Feel free to use any toppings you like; we kept it simple by using what’s easiest to cut. If you love this idea and want to try it later, be sure to pin this blog for a quick reference.
