Not only are these crafts fun, they are made with supplies that are easy to come by and you might even already have on hand. Oh, and can we say hallelujah to any activity that keeps kids busy, engaged, and entertained without the use of an electronic device?
Take a look at all these crafts, and follow the links within the descriptions to get the full directions for each. But more than anything, use these ideas as a springboard for your own ideas. Better yet, show your kids these options and then let them use their own creative juices to come up with their own paper plate crafts. Kids are amazing at adapting crafts and even coming up with ideas that wouldn't occur to most adults.
