Paper Plate Holiday Camper Craft Idea For Kids
I’ll say it over and over again, until I’m blue in the face. I really do strive to come up with the kids craft designs that no one has done before.
There’s only so many snowmen and Santa crafts you can make from paper plates & share on the internet. Just saying! Glued To My Crafts is the place to be if you are looking for unique ideas!
On that note, if only I could show you ALL the crafty designs that go through my head daily. Sometimes it looks like someone threw up confetti in my head but other days are magical. Today is MAGICAL!
I already shared with my lovely readers this morning my tutorial for a Christmas mail truck from popsicle sticks and right now I’m adding MY VERSION of a Christmas camper made from a simple paper plate, to the website archives!
