Our first Valentine's Day project this season!

Materials- Valentine's Day tissue paper
-liquid starch
-small paint brushes
-white tag board paper

I pre-cut heart shapes out of the tissue paper. It would have been too hard for my 3 year old to cut the hearts but if you have a child who is capable it might be fun to have them help with the cutting.

The liquid starch was poured into bowls to be used to paint over the tissue paper hearts. I had my 3 year old arrange the hearts the way she wanted on the paper and then she painted over them. The liquid starch sticks to the tissue paper and works sort of like glue to keep it on the paper!

These are my favorite type of art projects where you can focus on the process NOT the product! There is no "right" way to arrange the hearts. It's all about letting the kids use their creativity to do it how they see fit!
