Paper Plate Spiral Track – DIY Toy

A great DIY toy you can make from items you already have at home! Create a fun spiral track for your little one’s cars, trucks, marbles, and more!


What you’ll need:

  • Stack of paper plates

  • Mailing or paper towel tube

  • Cardboard

  • Tape

  • Hot glue

  • Scissors/X-Acto knife


Easy Steps:

  • Trace around the tube onto the center of the paper plate and cut out the circle.

  • Repeat with a number of plates

  • Cut out a straight line (from center to edge) on each plate

  • Put marks on the tube between an inch to an inch and a half apart

  • Hot glue the plates from the center to the tube. One end should be glued to the first mark and the other end should be glued to the mark underneath

  • When adding the plate below, connect them with tape

  • Continue stacking until you reach the desired height

  • Hot glue the bottom the tube to the cardboard for stability

Let your little ones slide their cars, trucks, marbles, etc down their spiral track! They can also decorate the plates and tube prior to assembling it so they have their very own designed track!
