Plus, it was totally fun for all ages and really easy to make. We just used a few items from around the house to put our pie together, but the spices, the shaving cream and the tin foil “pie plate” really took the craft up a notch and provided a lovely sensory experience.

Cut a wavy edge all around the edge of the paper plate and then cut your paper plate pie into 6 even slices.

Stir together an equal amount of white glue and saving cream (approx 2-3 tbs of each for one pie).
With a wide paint brush, scoop a dollop onto each slice of pie. - Make Foil Pie Plate
Cover your second paper plate with a large piece of tin foil, pinching/crimping around the edges to keep it in place.

Arrange your pie slices in the foil place, and if desired, glue them in place.
