The Day It Rained Hearts

The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond is an adorable story. One day it rains hearts, and Cornelia Augusta catches them. Each heart is special in its own way, and Cornelia Augusta knows exactly who to send them to.

A couple of the activities we did are posted below

Heart Collage

Tree of Hearts

Valentine Snowman

I think this one of my favorite crafts. It happened by accident, I was drawing hearts on folded paper for Mason to cut out and I happened to cut out 3 different sizes and when we opened the paper it reminded me of a snowman.
This one is mine

This one Mason did

Valentine 2011

Last week the boys made Valentine cards.

So Proud!

and then they made Valentine Buddies

To make the Valentine Buddies;
1. Cut out heart from pink card stock and punch holes for the arms and legs.
2. Use pink, white or red pipe cleaners for the arms and legs.I cut pipe cleaner in half for the arms and then I pulled a pipe cleaner through the back for the legs.
3. Use Pink, White or Red beads and thread onto pipe cleaner.
4. Glue googly eyes on.
5. Use heart shapes for the ears and nose.
6. Draw on the mouth and glue small heart shapes on the corners of mouth.

Heart Crayons

Today we made heart shaped crayons for a Valentine activity. I found this idea from Pink and Green Mama.The boys were so excited when I told them they could break up all the crayons and the cutest part was watching the boys go back and forth to see if the crayons were melting.

How To :
1. First I peeled all the crayons and then I had the boys break up the crayons into little pieces, then placed the pieces of crayon in a mold,I used a silicone heart shaped baking mold from Michaels.
2. Put in a preheated oven(250 Degrees).Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.Let cool and have fun.
