For Valentine's Day we decided we needed some fun projects to display around the house. We chose two simple crafts that were both made in under 15 minutes.
LOVE Dot Paint Craft:
Supplies:
Dot paints (we used red, pink, purple, and fushia)
2 pieces 8 1/2 X 11 inch card stock (thicker white paper)
scissors
magic tape
Directions:
1. Cut the letters L, a heart, V, and E out of one piece of your card stock.
2. Using magic tape roll one piece of tape to put on the back of each letter.
3. Put each letter on your second piece of card stock.
4. With the dot paints have the kids cover the entire page with dots.
5. Let dry
6. Carefully remove the letters and heart from your page. Don't throw the letters away because you can glue them on another piece of card stock and you have 2 complete projects!
7. Enjoy!
Valentine's Mousey Craft
Supplies:
Pink & purple paper or whatever color you want for your mouse.
scissors
glue
yarn
googly eyes
black marker (for tip of nose if desired)
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of the paper into a big heart (whatever color you choose)
2. Now cut 2 smaller hearts for ears.
3. Cut 2 smaller hearts of another color to fit on top of the ears.
4. Fold the largest heart in half to make your mouse. The bottom tip of the heart is his face.
5. Cut your piece of yarn for the tail (or you could use a pipe cleaner instead)
6. Put glue on the inside of the biggest heart and glue the tail in the crease of the heart. Fold the heart so the glue holds both sides of the heart together.
7. Glue the smaller heart on each ear and then glue the ears on your mouse, lining them up together on both sides.
8. Glue on the eyes and cut 4 small pieces of yarn for whiskers.
9. Enjoy this cute little mousey for Valentine's Day or give it as a Valentine!
