My husband says I’m the paper plate craft queen. He always comes home and finds some sort of craft done with the kids using a paper plate.
I find paper plates are easy to be creative with and they are so cheap to have on hand for craft or offering some food with bit of glad wrap to a friend who you don’t want to inconvenience with returning a container. But I mainly keep my paper plates for craft.
Today I have another easy craft that can be done with toddlers. It’s easy in that it allows toddlers to use their fine motor skills in putting stickers on the paper plate wings of their butterfly.
