paper plate crafts
I truly didn’t know that paper plates made such a great canvas for such creativity until I started searching for paper plate crafts. Paper plates abound in the summertime, and I’m always looking for something to keep my kiddo busy. But these gems are pretty grown-up friendly, too. I spotted these chickens at MollyMoo, and these fruit plates over at Crafts by Amanda, and I couldn’t be stopped. I even made my own watermelon suncatchers. Here are 22 links to both kid and adult paper plate crafts. (This roundup was originally published in July 2013 and updated January 2019.)
