This stripy heart card is so simple to make that even the youngest children will be pleased with the result - but it looks fabulous!
You will need:
Pink, purple and red paint
White paper
Purple card
Instructions:
Using your fingers, a paint brush or a sponge, cover the paper in stripes of pink, purple and red paint.
When the paint is dry, cut a heart out of the paper. Fold the card in half, and glue the heart to the front.
The finished card is so pretty, I wish our photos did it justice! Swirling the paints around on the paper plate to make the marble effect on this Valentine's Day card is great fun, and it does mean that the paint is relatively easily contained.
This simple idea is great fun for the kids, and of course can be adapated using all sorts of templates. How about a Christmas tree, a flower, a simple butterfly or a summer sun?
This is one of our quickest Valentine's Cards to make, but it can be a fun tracing, cutting and pasting activity for younger kids. Older children could cut through several layers of fabric to make Valentine cards in bulk!
