Valentine's Project

Valentine's Day is a round the corner and I wanted to do something fun for Dario's class. So, of course I headed to Pinterest and found a craft of using old crayons to make heart shaped crayons and they turned out great! First we started with old crayons and peeled all the wrappers off


Then we broke them into little pieces and filled a heart shape cookie tray with lots of crayons 
We baked them in the oven, let them cool and popped them out of the tray
Then we printed off labels, and put them in little baggies for Dario's class. They said on the front, Color your heart out, Happy Valentine's Day! On the back was a warning about how it was not candy but a crayon. 
When you use the heart to color it comes out multi-colored and looks great. We had a fun time with this project !
