With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, this Paper Plate Valentine Love Bird Kid Craft idea is sure to be a crowd pleaser AND it doubles as a festive “lovestruck” decor piece as well!!!

Not only is this particular Valentine themed kid craft a great way to spend the afternoon BUT it’s also really fun & great for children of ALL ages {even those crafty adults who will want to make one too!}

PLUS we have a FREE envelope printable below, that you bird can “carry” either in his mouth or from his legs. This outside the traditional element is what  I really think ties everything together for the theme.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab those inexpensive craft supplies and get to “flying” on this DIY craft!

Happy crafting my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

• Now grab your paper plate. There are TWO envelopes in the printable AND one paper plate makes TWO birds. Well – there you go! Cut your paper plate in half, straight up the center.
• Go ahead and decorate your paper plate halves however you like to make them look like birds. Add paper legs, a triangle beak, wiggle eyes – whatever!
• When you are done decorating – grab that envelope printable again. Trim out both designs from the paper.
• Discard excess paper.
• Go ahead and staple the envelope on to your paper plate piece.
• Add anything else you like to your valentine themed bird and display proudly for all to see!
