This easy paper plate craft is a fun way to keep the kids entertained with just basic craft supplies.<\/p>\n

You probably already have all the supplies required to make these Fruit Paper Plate Envelopes<\/strong> at home, so next time you need to send a letter or small gift, pop it inside a slice of watermelon or an orange wedge.<\/p>\n

Get the kids excited about writing a letter to their friends or family. Younger kids can draw pictures to include in their envelope. In this digital age it’s always fun to receive a letter or parcel in the mail.<\/p>\n

I always try and make my pen pal’s mail deliveries a little bit more fun, like the times I sent a giant hamburger postcard<\/a>, an ice-cream cone<\/a> and a Christmas stocking<\/a>. Fun mail keeps it interesting for the posties too.<\/p>\n

Inspiration for this project:<\/strong> a cute watermelon envelope pictured in Ebony Bizys’ book Hello Tokyo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
