Valentine’s Day is a great time to get the kids around and make some fun crafts. These crafts can then be used as the valentines for school parties. They also make great decorations for around the house. Whatever you use them for it is a great family activity that can be done on any afternoon.
Materials Needed:
- Waxed paper
- Crayon shavings (adults can shave crayons with a scissors or knife)
- Scissors
- Iron
- Hole punch
- A few inches of string or ribbon
Instructions:
- Fold a piece of waxed paper in half. Draw half a heart with the center of the heart at the fold.
- Open the waxed paper and place it flat on your work surface.
- Sprinkle/place the crayon shavings on the waxed paper. Little ones may sprinkle randomly, while older kids may want to make a pattern with the shavings.
- Cover the waxed paper with an additional piece of waxed paper. Put a paper towel on top of the waxed paper (this will protect your iron), then have an adult iron the two layers of waxed paper together on low heat.
- Cut out the heart image. Punch a hole near the top of your heart and thread a string through the hole for hanging the heart. Hang it in front of a window so the light can shine through.
