Paper Plates: 10 Ways to Play & Create

We are fast approaching Miss K’s 2nd birthday. I am in complete denial about the festivities that we’ve planned. No doubt, it’ll be fun, but I need to calm myself down every now and then, and remind myself – we’re just having a get together with friends and family, having cake together. That essentially is what it is, right? That, with what seems like loads of paper plates and paper cups. Lol.

So while I stare at mounds of paper plates, I am so excited to share these 10 awesome ways to play & create with paper plates. Once our cake has been eaten, I’m sure we’ll be doing a few of these with our unused paper plates in the coming weeks.

Happy playing, because #playmatters.
