Valentine’s Day is only two weeks away! To prepare for the upcoming holiday, my kiddos and I have been making some heart-inspired crafts. I love using paper plates as an inexpensive base for craft projects, so my daughter and son recently helped me make some adorable heart fish. Both my children had a fantastic time gluing all the hearts on their projects.
Materials
- White paper plates
- Colored construction paper
- Wiggle eyes
- Scissors
- Glue
Instructions
- Cut a pile of small hearts, three large hearts, and one medium heart from the colored construction paper.
- Glue the small hearts to cover three-fourths of the paper plate.
- Glue two large hearts together by the sides.
- Glue the two large hearts to the back of the paper plate in the center of the decorated side with the points on the plate.
- Glue the medium heart on the back of the paper plate opposite the two large hearts with the point on the plate.
- Glue the remaining large heart on the center of the front of the plate with the point facing towards the medium heart.
- Glue a wiggle eye on the undecorated portion of the paper plate.
- Display the heart fish Valentine’s Day paper plate craft.
