Valentine's Day 2013

This year for Valentine's Day, both Addison and Rhyder had to have their own Valentine boxes for school.  I was so excited to help them make one because they have never had to have one before.  I had the kids think for a couple of days about what they wanted to make and Addison decided on a Rapunzel tower and Rhyder wanted a Batman box.  So we got started on them.  I searched the house to see what I could find to use for both and found quite a bit.  We've been so busy lately, that we got started a little late on them, but they turned out great, I think, and the kids loved them.

Sticky Hearts

To get ready for Valentines Day, the kids and I made some hearts out of pink and white yarn, and glue, made from cornstarch and water.  I made the glue for the kids and then let them make the hearts.  We first layed out some parchment paper and put heart cookie cutters on top of the paper.  Next, the kids dipped the yarn in the glue and rubbed off the excess and set it inside the cookie cutter.  They filled each cookie cutter and then we let them dry.  They turned out really cute.
