Valentine Wand Craft For Kids

What You Need:

Paper straws

Red and pink tissue paper

Glue

Glitter

Cardboard cut into heart shapes (I used a heart cookie cutter to trace on the cardboard)

Steps:

1. Start by cutting tissue paper into small squares. Have your kids scrunch them up really good.

2. Next allow them to glue their scrunched up tissue paper to the cardboard hearts. Once glued they resemble little roses

3. Have some fun with glitter. Make a heart shape on the back or whatever! Get creative!

4. Hot glue gun your paper straw to the heart.

Cute and simple! It can be a wand or place then all in a mason jar and now it looks like a small bouquet of hearts.

Servings: 4 small handprints or 6 small ornaments.

What You Need:

1 cup of salt

1 cup of Flour

1/2 cup of water

Steps:

1. Combine all ingredients and knead dough for just a couple of minutes.

2. Roll out and do hand prints or use cookie cutters to make ornaments.

3. Bake at 200 for 2 hours.
