Paper Plate Love Plant

I still can’t believe how fast the days are going by. Valentine’s Day is this coming Saturday and I feel like it’s coming on way too fast {can you relate?}

If you are STILL looking for an easy and inexpensive idea to keep the kids busy in honor of the “lovestruck” holiday – look no further because I have another kid friendly craft tutorial for you today!

With this Paper Plate Love Plant Kid Craft, all you need is a paper plate, tissue paper and cardstock {really simple stuff!} The craft itself is super easy, pretty inexpensive and perfect for even young children.

You could even just set up the framework for them and let their creativity go wild by pulling out the glitter, pom poms and even faux feathers. The possibilities are endless and I hope it plants some inspiration in you!

Find all the details below! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your love plant creations on our Facebook page so we can admire them from afar this Valentine’s Day season! #gluedtomycrafts

* Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate half.

* Then display proudly!
