Inside: Make this paper plate kindness craft this Valentine’s Day and spread kindness by delivering these heart crafts to friends and neighbors. 


Valentine’s Day was always a fun day as a kid…parties, Valentine’s Day cards from our friends, and of course, candy. 

And then as a mom, it was always about helping my kids find the just right Valentine’s Day cards they wanted to pass out to their friends, and oohing and ahhing over the cards they brought home.

Materials Needed for the Paper Plate Kindness Heart: 

  • Paper Plate (the thinner and flatter the plate, the easier it will be to fold!)
  • pink or red paint (we used acrylic paint, but tempra paint is washable and better suited for younger children)
  • paint brush
  • tape

Use this heart paper plate craft to spread some kindness this Valentine's Day to friends, family and neighbors.

How to Make the Paper Plate Kindness Craft 

1. Paint the paper plate pink or red with paint. Remind kids that acrylic paint is “forever” paint and can stain clothes. 

2. When it dries, fold the paper plate in half.

3. Using scissors, cut the edges of the plate so the rounded part is flat. 

4. Open the plate back up to get ready to “accordion fold” the plate.

5. Starting on one of the flat edges, fold the paper plate backwards about 1/2 inch. Then fold it forward 1/2 inch until you reach the other end of the paper plate.

6. Fold the plate in half to create the “point” of the heart. 

7. Use the tape on the inside parts of the heart so the two halves stick together and press down to create a heart.

8. Now for the kindness part!

Hide these hearts or deliver this paper plate kindness craft to neighbors, friends, classmates, school staff, and family. You can attach a little note like these Valentine Kindness Notes.

Or you can write a message to go with it: 

  • “Sending you some love!“

  • “Someone is thinking of you!“
  • “I heart you!” 
  • “Thanks for being a great friend!”
  • “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
