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 {one per hot air balloon craft}
  • Tissue Paper {like red, pink or purple}
  • Black Cardstock Paper
  • Various Sized Heart Stickers

Directions:

  • First cut your tissue paper into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
