⭐Why Valentine Glitter Hearts are Awesome
- Easy for kids to make
- Just use a few basic supplies
- Can be used to make Valentine's decorations or cards
- Would make a fun classroom project for Valentine's Day
🖍️Supply Notes
- White glue - Poured into a tray.
- Glitter (in various colors) - We used red, gold, blue and purple.
- Heart cookie cutters - A few different sizes work best.
- Construction paper - We use red, pink and purple
📋Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1: Provide various-sized heart cookie cutters and pour some white glue into a tray. Dip the cookie cutter into the glue, making sure to get the bottom edges covered.
STEP 2: Press down the cookie cutter onto the construction paper.
STEP 3: Lift the heart cookie cutter carefully off the paper so the glue doesn't get disturbed. What remains will be a glue heart outline.
STEP 4: Next, sprinkle glitter onto the glue.
STEP 5: Spread the glitter around the paper until the entire glue heart is covered. Shake the excess glitter onto a paper plate. We used a different paper plate for each color of glitter that we used and then we were able to reuse that glitter from the plate over and over again.
You can even try to make one heart inside another.
I love how the layered and overlapping hearts turned out.
