Paper Plate Milkshake Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {cut in half to make TWO milkshake crafts}
* Pink Tissue Paper
* Purple/Black/Red Cardstock Paper
* School Glue
* Basic Craft Scissors

* Put a good amount of glue all over one paper plate half. Let children place the tissue paper squares on top, until it’s completely covered.
