We made CRYSTAL HEARTS today and SHADOW HEART VALENTINE'S CARDS. I didn't take a lot of pictures this week because my hands were too messy. :) If your child's heart(s) didn't turn out very well, I have more Borax for them to use next time they come to art class.
We want to wish Micah a VERY Happy Birthday this week!
I sure love being with your cute kiddos-thank you for sharing them with me!

| While we wait for everyone to arrive, we make elastic creations. | Here is a masterpiece from "E." |
 |
| Put on your aprons, it's about to get messy! |
 | |
| First, we picked out 2-4 colorful pipe cleaners. We twisted them into a shape of a heart. |
 |
| We added Borax to boiling hot water and stirred. Some of the kids added food coloring to their water. Then, we tied our hearts to a string, attached them to a Popsicle stick and put them in the water to sit overnight. As the water cools, the Borax crystals form on the pipe cleaners. |
 |
| "C" anxiously waiting for her crystals. |
 |
| Stirring the Borax/hot water mixture. |
 |
| We made shadow hearts for our Valentine's Cards. We painted one side of the heart and folded it to create a double-sided heart. |
 |
| "A" had fun making hand prints. |
 |
| "K" made a darling shadow heart. |
 |
| "Cate's" shadow heart. |
 |
| Bracken's shadow heart. |
 |
| Our crystal hearts. |
 |
| We ate Valentine's Sugar Cookies while we created. :) |
 |
| "B's" hearts. |
 |
| Our paint trays. |
