Paper Plate & Tissue Paper Green Grinch Craft Idea
Don’t be a GRINCH this Christmas!!!
Ok – I didn’t mean to sound so harsh with that statement. Let me “tone” it down a bit.
If you are only going to do ANY type of kid craft with your child this season, today’s SUPER EASY Paper Plate Grinch Heart tutorial is the one to do!
Is that nicer? Have I convinced you yet?! I mean – hello?! Who doesn’t LOVE the classic Grinch story? Whether you like the original or the remake, I feel like it’s a must-see this time of year. It would seem like such a bummer to no put it on at least ONCE this month.
Anyways…. on that note, with the help of Glued To My Crafts, you and your child can say so long to boring crafts during the month of December because we have the easiest one you can do. This Paper Plate Grinch Heart is super easy to recreate AND you can make it either before or after you watch the movie. Easy peasy planning there!
BTW – all you need is a basic paper plate, some green tissue paper, tons of school glue and our FREE provided heart printable to bring it to life. Really basic materials you probably have in your home right now, so there is really no excuse.
So enough chit chat from me… share the love and grow your crafty heart with our tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends!!!
