Paper Plate Valentine's Day Mailbox - Kid Craft

This paper plate mailbox is the perfect craft to make with your kids this month! It’s easy, fun and can be personalized in any way you want.

Craft Supplies:

  • Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
  • Craft Paint {I used a shade of pink}
  • Paint Brush
  • Scissors
  • Red Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Cardstock Paper
  • Stapler
  • Embellishments

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!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
