Heart Crayons — Last year I saw silicon heart cupcake trays in the dollar section at Target and picked up a few, this year they are coming in handy! We will be making heart shaped crayons! Fill cupcake tin with broken crayons (remove paper wrappers) and bake at 250 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Disney’s Family Fun website has this great picture on what to do with the heart shaped crayons
Paper Love Bugs –
I can remember making these when I was little!
You will need –
1 Toilet Paper Roll
Construction Paper
Pipe Cleaners
Glue
Cut out two large hearts for the wings (make the width slightly larger than the toilet paper tube. Next glue the hearts together pointy ins facing and overlapping each other. With another color construction paper, glue it around the TP Roll. Glue 2 pipe cleaners to the top of the TP Roll (Hot Glue will speed this process up). Decorate Eyes, and the wings of the “LoveBug” Curl the pipe cleaners and you will have an adorable LoveBug! Kaboose.com has a picture of this cute craft!
Stained Glass Hearts
What you need –
Wax Paper
Crayon Shavings
Blow Dryer
Lay out one sheet of wax paper. Cover it with crayon shavings (We use an old grater to grate things for crafts). Lay another sheet over the top of the shavings. Hold the paper flat and on the highest heat and low power setting. It will not take long for the shavings to melt. Be careful the melted crayons will be hot. Let them cool and cut out desired shapes! We recommend using red and pink crayons and cut out in the shapes of hearts! You can use a hole punch and tie a ribbon to hang it somewhere!
