So what are you waiting for? This craft may not melt away but time is ticking! Grab those supplies and get to work!!! Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Milkshake Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {cut in half}
* Pink Tissue Paper
* Purple/Black/Red Cardstock
* School Glue
* Scissors
* Stapler
* White Cotton Balls

Directions:

* If you haven’t already, cut your paper plate in half. You can either make TWO milkshakes or save one paper plate half for a rainy day!
* Next cut {or tear} your pink tissue paper into small squares.
* Put a good amount of glue all over one paper plate half. Let children place the tissuepaper squares on top, until it’s completely covered.
* While they are working on that, cut out the other milkshake embellishments. Think drink glass, straw, as well as the heart shaped cherry on top.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Milkshake kid craft, staple/glue on the cardstock pieces to your paper plate. Glue on some cotton ball “whipped cream” as well as any other embellishments you see fit.
* Now set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
