Valentine's day cards

 Ethan and Madie love to make their Valentine's for their classes...and of course I have just as much fun.  I have been searching Pinterest. http://pinterest.com/  To look for new ideas that they can create.  I found this one...   http://www.makeandtakes.com/recycled-chunky-crayons  and decided that I have always wanted to do this with my left over crayons...and so Ethan being in 3rd decided to go for it.  Here is what it turned out like.....(in pictures)

Here are the crayons we started with

We peeled of the crayons....may was that a pain
Smashing the crayons....E's Favorite part
We placed them in the heart shaped tin.
And here are the final Heart Crayons....

We did little cards that said......"for Crayon out loud Happy Valentine's Day"  Love E

They are so cute.  I loved watching him get excited as they melted and turned into the shape that they are.  For sure a must do again project.

As for My M she is making fortune cookies for her class....out of felt or form....still a work in progress.  BUT she is doing them so it is fun to watch them come to be.  She is old enough now that Really her creativity stands out.  I can't wait to see how they turn out.  Will post soon.  Here is the link to the pinterest idea I first found...it is of course Martha Stewart.... http://www.marthastewart.com/273591/felt-fortune-cookies?backto=true
