    two peas in a pod paper plate crafts

    This peas in a pod craft is simple, generates no mess, and allows your kids to be creative without much help from you. You'll likely have most of the supplies in your house already. Plus, it's kind of adorable!

    This craft also provides a great opportunity to share some fun facts about this meal's featured ingredient:

      • Sugar snap peas can be eaten whole. You can eat the pods with their peas!
      • Sugar snap peas can be eaten raw or cooked.
      • While sugar snap peas are very similar to snow peas , sugar snap peas tend to be sweeter and crispier.
      • Sugar snap peas are high in dietary fiber, and that makes them good for our digestive system.

      So, the craft calls for your kids to make peas for all the family members in your house. The sweetest thing about this (which I never could've predicted) is that my kids apparently consider a lot of my closest friends family. When they were cutting out the circles, they were calling out my best friends' names. And there's also a pea for the dog 😍That seriously warmed my little heart. Enjoy!
