We've been crafting valentines at the preschool this week.
We started out the week making finger print hearts. I spied this idea somewhere on the web, but now can' t remember where. Next we made paper hearts. This idea came from the always inspiring Julie Collings (see her tutorial here). I adapted this project to make it work for my preschoolers. The children got to select double sided print card stock, then using a heart punch, cut out four hearts. Next I helped them place two staples down the middle, added thread for hanging through the top hole from the staple, and the children folded all the layers over.
This was such a satisfying project. They were easy to make, not messy, and came together quickly. Julen has made about fifteen! I think a garland or mobile is in order.
Happy Friday friends!
