Valentine Love Bug Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* School Glue
* Small Paper Heart Doilies
* Colored Tissue Paper
* Craft Scissors
* Pipe Cleaners
* Large Wiggle Eyes
* Large Colored Pom Poms
* Basic Hand Stapler
optional – glitter, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First have children cut their tissue paper into small squares. This great to practice those cutting skills!
* Now put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate. Have your child place the tissue paper pieces on top of the glue, until the plate is completely covered.
* To finish off the Love Bug craft – go ahead and glue the wiggle eyes & pom pom nose in the center of the plate. Then staple the TWO doily hearts to the side of the paper plate for wings and the pipe cleaner bent in half for antennas on the top. Then set everything aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!
