Valentine's Day



This project was a lot of fun and each one turned out to be quite original! We used the spiky balls shown above; placed a piece of construction paper in a dish bucket; put some paint around the edges; dropped the balls in and the kids rolled them around by rocking the bucket back and forth! Lots of fun! After the paint was dry we cut the paper into hearts!


This is a pretty basic project. We just taped the heart shaped paper doilies onto the back of a sheet of construction paper. Then we flipped it over and rubbed crayons onto the front of the paper to reveal the heart shapes! This is one the kids are always amazed with as they see the hearts appear!


This is another easy one that turns out very pretty. I pre-cut several heart shapes and the kids used bottles of Elmer's glue which they squeezed all over the hearts. This was a very good fine motor workout! Then they shook glitter all over the hearts! Very pretty.
