We did some Valentine crafting leading up to the big day. We made marbled hearts that turned out so cute we decided to send them to some people to brighten their Valentine's day.
 |
We started with shaving cream on a paper plate
and put a few drops of food coloring in the shaving cream. |
 |
| You swirl the food coloring around to make a marbled look. |
 |
| You dip your paper - in our case I had pre-cut hearts out of computer paper. |
 |
Then you carefully lift your paper out of the
shaving cream. |
 |
| Next, use a flat scraper of some sort to scrape off all the extra shaving cream. |
 |
| Viola! This is what you end up with! |
 |
When you're done... SMOOSH IT! After all, what good is a shaving cream
activity if you can't feel it squish through your fingers. |
When the valentines were dry, I backed them onto construction paper to make them a bit more durable and look more complete.
 |
We sent out 10 valentines. On each one she
carefully wrote each persons' name and also
drew a heart and her name on the back. |
