Amelia took charge today! It was a blast. She wanted to show me how she made a Valentine’s Day craft in school this week. The good news is that this is a perfect craft for last minute Valentine creations since you probably have the supplies in your house:
- Toilet paper/paper towel cardboard tube
- Red or pink paint (or any color, really)
- Paper
- Tape
That’s it! So first, she showed me how to roll the tube so that it looked like a heart. Once that’s done, you tape it so it keeps that shape. I did have to add more tape as we tested the “stampers” so that the whole heart would show on the paper.
Then you dip it into the paint and use it as a stamper! This was a fun and easy project. We churned out a whole bunch of valentines for people, and had fun doing it.
As you can see from the final product below, these turned out pretty nice. Amelia was a great teacher, it was a fun Friday morning craft, and it was an easy way to get her to create some valentines for the family. Now I just have to get her to write in them!
Have a nice Valentine’s Day everyone!
