Materials
– Paper Plate
– Pink, red, and white pom poms of different sizes
– Craft ribbon
– Hole Punch
– Glue
1. Using a pencil, lightly draw a heart in the center of the paper plate.
2. Glue the pom poms to the plate so that they cover the entire heart shape. We started by gluing the pom poms along the outline of the heart. Then we glued them inside the heart.
3. Punch holes along the outer part of the paper plate. Make sure to place them so that when you go to weave your ribbon in and out, it will be even around the plate (I counted the ridges around the plate to help me determine where to place the holes). Of course, if a toddler or young child is doing this, they may want to punch the holes in random places and that’s okay too!
4. Weave the ribbon in and out of the holes to create the effect shown in the main picture. Using thinner ribbon may be easier (and thus less frustrating) for toddlers since it is tricky weaving thicker ribbon in the holes. Also, if you start weaving your ribbon at the top of the plate, you should finish at the top of the plate which will make it easier to hang since you can glue your two ends together to form a loop for hanging.
