Paper Plate Valentine Crafts for Preschoolers!

January 25, 2016 by Sarah 4 Comments

Can you believe January is almost over?! Goodness. Winter usually lasts forever for me, but so far so good!

With January just about behind us I thought it time to start looking forward to Valentine’s Day! And always on a mission to keeping crafting simple and cute, I thought these paper plate Valentine crafts would definitely come in handy.

As will my eBook on Quiet Bins – nothing quite like the magic of quiet time when you are buried in snow!

I love keeping our February crafts extra simple. I find I don’t have that much energy in the winter, not as much pizzazz as usual.  So I find our crafts our kind of the same.

That being said, these paper plate Valentine’s Day crafts are pretty full of pizzazz. Think pink and red hearts, sparkles, cutting and pasting, painting, sparkles, you name it and you can find it on a paper plate in this list of ideas!
