Paper Plate Love Monster Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate {one per love monster craft}
* Red Colored Tissue Paper
* School Glue
* Kid Friendly Scissors

* Red/White/Black Colored Cardstock
Directions:
* First cut your red colored tissue paper into small squares.
* Now put a good amount of school glue all over your paper plate.
* Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While your child is working on that, cut out the other “love” monster embellishments from the cardstock. Think eyes, ears, mouth etc.
* To finish the Paper Love Monster themed kid craft – glue/staple on the facial features to the paper plate.
* Finally – display your new monster friend proudly for all to see!
