How to Make Photosynthesis Craft Easy
Hello kids, today we are making a photosynthesis craft. I have been looking for photosynthesis craft ideas for you guys.
Whether you are looking for photosynthesis craft kindergarten or photosynthesis craft for preschoolers this easy-to-make paper craft is perfect for all of you.
What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is like a magical recipe that plants use to make their food. Imagine plants as little chefs who need a few key ingredients to whip up something tasty!
Here’s how it works:
Ingredients: Plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide (a gas in the air).
Cooking Place: Plants have special “kitchens” in their leaves called chloroplasts.
Magic Tool: Inside these chloroplasts is something called chlorophyll, which is like a solar panel that catches sunlight.
The Recipe: Using sunlight, plants mix water and carbon dioxide together to make sugar (their food) and oxygen (the air we breathe out).
So, photosynthesis is the process that plants use to make their food and give us oxygen. It’s super important because it helps keep everything alive and healthy!

Instructions for Photosynthesis Craft For Toddlers:
Step 1:
To make this photosynthesis craft project for 4th grade, you need to download the attached PDF template from the link above. Once you have the template go ahead and print it out, grab all the supplies you need from the list above, and let’s get started. Use the {DF templates to trace the patterns on colorful crafting papers and use a pair of scissors to cut them out. For kids, use safety scissors and ask for an adult to help you.
Step 2:
Take the paper plate you want to use as your base for the photosynthesis craft, place the plate on a blue craft paper, and draw around the bottom edge. Cut out the circular pattern using a pair of scissors. Then, cut out a brown piece of paper in the size half of the blue circular piece.
Step 3:
{lace the blue round paper inside the paper plate and use glue to secure it with the plate.
Step 4:
Take the half-circular brown cut-out piece and glue it on the bottom part of the paper plate over the blue paper.
Step 5:
Now let’s assemble our elements together. Glue the round yellow pattern of the sun inside the orange pattern, then glue the flower’s pedicel in the middle of the flower pattern, and glue the leaves with the stems.
Step 6:
Glue the flower on top of the stem. Allow the glue to dry.
Step 7:
First, take the paper cloud patterns and glue them on the top left corner of the blue background. You can glue it on the right or left it does not matter.
Then, glue the sun on the other corner on the blue background.
Now, glue the water drop shapes on the bottom corner over the soil.
Step 8:
Now for the final step, glue the plant on the middle of the paper plate and here you are, your photosynthesis craft is ready!
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in glucose, a type of sugar. During photosynthesis, these organisms take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and water (H₂O) from the soil and use sunlight to convert them into glucose and oxygen (O₂). The overall equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO2+6H2O+light energy→C6H12O6+6O2
This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll, the green pigment, captures light energy. Photosynthesis is essential for life on Earth as it provides the oxygen we breathe and the food that sustains nearly all living organisms.
