I am so glad Kristen shared this cute Valentine craft idea with us. Making these fun little crayon heart sun catchers was so easy and fun. The kids LOVED it!
Step 1: Spread crayon shavings over a sheet of wax paper that's on top of a brown paper bag.
Step 1: Spread crayon shavings over a sheet of wax paper that's on top of a brown paper bag.
Step 2: Place another sheet of wax paper on top of your crayon shavings, then place another brown paper bag on top of the wax paper. Iron the paper bag with a warm iron and WA-LA!, you've got yourself a fancy, colorful, Valentine sun catcher.
Step 3: Let it cool for just a minute or two and then draw and cut heart shapes out of it.
These are the cute ones Quinney cute out. :)
Step 4: Tape all your cutesy Valentine colored hearts to the windows and watch them gleam in the sunshine!
When we were doing this project Avery said, "Mom, we could do red and green crayons and cut Christmas trees out of them."
...Yes, I've got one smart little girl who happens to LOVE a good fun craft project just like her Mama.
That got me thinking, "yeah, and we could use pastel colors and make Easter eggs too." "Can we make green ones for St. Patricks Day Mom?!!"
Sure darling, sure.
She's so dang cute and creative! I love it!
