Directions:
- First, using our picture up above as an example, cut your paper plate to look like a mailbox.
- Save one little part of the paper plate you just cut off, for the “door” off the mailbox. Go ahead and trim it down a bit & staple it to your larger paper plate piece.
- Grab your paint. Have your child paint their mailbox piece however they like.
- Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
- While that is drying, cut out the mailbox flag, as well as the “wooden” post it will stand on out of the cardstock.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Valentine’s Day Mailbox – staple all your pieces in place, as well as any other embellishments you see fit {think name tag, hearts etc.}
- If you want, add a small heart doily or envelope sticking out the mailbox opening to really tie it together.
- Then of course – display proudly for all to see!
