    Step 2: Next, while your little ones are filling in the plate, cut 8 streamers. You can make each piece as long or as short as you like, mine ended up being 12 inches long. Once the front of the paper plate is all filled up, flip the plate over and have your little ones glue one streamer onto each number.
