My boys and I love doing crafts together.
We were hoping to make a fun Valentine’s Day craft that wouldn’t take too much effort.
This craft was so simple that even our 4 year old could do it!
Items Needed:
Paper Plates
Scissors
Stapler (or strong tape). You could also use a hole punch and put ribbon or string along the edges.
Markers and other items to decorate
The joy of this project is that you can decorate it however you like, with whatever items you like. We chose Valentine’s Day doilies, markers and ribbon.
Step 1
Grab 2 paper plates. Cut one in half and leave the other intact.
Step 2
Flip one of your paper plate halves over and staple it to the front of the paper plate that was not cut. (See photo below).
Be sure to staple around the edges well so that candy and treats do not fall through any small holes.
Step 3
Decorate! This is the fun part because you can use your own creativity and decorate however you like. We stapled ribbon across the top of some, glued fun Valentine’s Day doilies to the fronts and decorated with markers.
This would be great for my son to do for his teachers.
What a simple yet fun idea to do with the kids.
That is a really cute and creative idea, thanks so much for sharing
These are really cute idea for the kids for school, will have to pick up some plates today.
Such a cute use of paper plates! Thanks for the idea.
Are those not the cutest things? How cute for teacher’s too! Oh I love these
