So this year, I found some crafts on Pinterest and they turned out great! The first one was a heart painting project using a toilet roll. We bent the toilet roll and used it as a stamper. Voila! Hearts!We also did a craft from www.marthastewart.com and the kids loved it. I had a little group that made several hearts and actually really enjoyed peeling and sorting the crayons too.
We peeled and sorted the crayons into cups. I used a pencil sharpener to get shavings from the crayons. The kids were then able to choose their colours and sprinkle shavings between large sheets of wax paper. I then ironed the wax paper (teacher only!) and the kids watched the crayon colours melt together. There were many 'ooooo's and 'aaaaah's and 'cooooool's.
Once cool, we traced and cut out heart shapes and hung in the window.
Very pretty :)
On Valentine's Day each member of the class brought a piece of cut up fruit to contribute to our Friendship Fruit Salad. We talked about how each fruit is different but when mixed together, they make a wonderful, tasty treat. This is just like our class! We are all very different/unique but together we can do wonderful things!
