Watercolor Valentine's Day Hearts

-Glue Gun

-Watercolor Paints & Paintbrush

-Crayons

-Scissors

-Thick paper

Draw a heart with your glue gun, when it's dry cut out the heart. Take your crayons out and decorate your hearts (try using a white crayon to write a secret message). Grab your paintbrush and fill in your hearts with watercolor. Let dry for a few hours.

These are fun to give away as Valentine's day cards or as decorations your windows, fridge or walls.

Hey teachers..,these hearts would like sweet around the classroom or on a bulletin board!

Gardener Kelsey's Tips:

Make the lines of your heart with your glue gun really thick (so paint wont seep under/over the edges
If you want to write a secret message - make your letters thick, and go back over each line of crayon a few times to ensure it shows up!
