Heart Collage Valentine's Day Craft

We gave Valentine's Day one final Hoorah with this super easy craft!

All 3 kiddos participated in this one, using some paper LB(4) had painted on earlier in the week.

Check it out!

♥

Supplies:

• Red paint (finger paint, poster paint, tempera paint)
• Paint brush
• White paper (copy paper works great)
• Scissors (we have an old pair of zig-zag scissors that we used. But you can also use regular scissors.)
• White cardstock
• Glue

Craft Time!

1. Squirt out a blob of red paint on a paper plate and give your child a paint brush and some white paper. Let them paint a couple pieces of paper however they want! LB wanted to paint the entire papers completely red. :)
2. Let it dry. (overnight is good). 
3. Cut the painted papers into squares. Again, we had zig-zag scissors that gave the edges a cool look, but regular scissors work great too!

4. With the white cardstock, cut out a big heart for each child.

5. Give them glue and all the painted squares and let them decorate their heart however they desire!

♥

ALL DONE!

Here is LL(2)'s heart:
