Looking for a simple and fun Valentine’s Day craft idea for kids? This paper plate hot air balloon is perfect!

Craft Supplies:

Large Paper Plate
Tissue Paper
Black Cardstock Paper
Heart Stickers
School Glue
Craft Scissors
Stapler

Directions:

First cut your tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
Take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over the remainder paper plate piece.
Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate piece is completely covered.
While they are working on that, cut out the other hot air balloon features from the cardstock. I did a basket with two strips for the rope that ties the basket to the balloon.
To finish off the Valentine Hot Air Balloon kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate {at this point you can add your child’s picture like I did in this particular craft}
Go ahead and also cover the paper plate portion in heart stickers to really tie the theme together.
Then display your Valentine’s Day paper plate hot air balloon proudly! {or add other embellishments to really make it your own before you do!}
