Happy (Late) Valentines Day!

While my husband and I don't really do a lot to celebrate Valentines Day (for example, I wrote down on the grocery list that I wanted a few bunches of red tulips - romantic, isn't it?), I had a lot of fun this year with Valentines crafts with my daughter. She made some Valentines cards to hand out to her friends.

We put up some Valentines stickers, but the windows still looked a little bare. Inspired by this post, we made our own hearts with crayon shavings. I didn't have a crayon or pencil sharpener, so I used a knife to create shavings. M helped choose the colours and unwrapped the crayons. Have you ever seen a two year old concentrate like that? T was a good sport and hung out with us while we worked.

M and her wild, wavy hair. T wanted to grab hold of the crayon shavings to stick them in his mouth.

Crayon shavings, before melting...

...and after.

I used a cookie cutter to trace heart shapes. We decided that we liked the pieces of waxed paper that had only a little bit of crayon shavings too.

Hope you had a great Valentines Day!
