I'm linking up with Mrs. Orman's Valentine Freebie Linky party to share this quick project with you in case you missed it last year!
I had a few minutes today and some really noisy kiddos. We needed a break from desperately trying to work to just enjoy ourselves or someone (me) was going to explode.
So, we made these cute hearts:
And I hung them across our window while my friends were at music:
If you need a fun activity in the next week or so, you can download a copy of the pattern! It's a definite "try it before you ask your kids to do it" type of activity! Just give each kiddo two copies of the pattern in different colors, cut them out, and weave the "strips" to make the heart! It was a little tricky for some of my kiddos... but the ones who "got it" were quick to help others!

super cute, might be tricky for us though!

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteThese look like fun! I may have to try them out this week. :) Thank you for the idea and the many other ideas that you have given me. I would love if you could come by and check out my blog. I just started it up this past weekend.
Thanks!

Thanks for the pattern. I use to do that on a folded piece of paper to create their valentine baskets. It was a little challenging for my kinder kids. This looks like it may be more manageable.

Our art teacher has been drilling the kiddos on weaving for a week or so. This is going to be a great final project. Got some good ideas on how to use this.
ReplyDeleteI did this with felt off of a thing on Pinterest and they are adorable!

This is a silly question but how do you get the pattern template onto the colored paper? Do you put the construction paper through the copy machine??
ReplyDeleteBrynne... yes. Secretly, you run it through the copier!
