Valentines Day Sun Catchers

Valentines Day is coming up, so if you are looking for an easy but festive craft to do with your kids, look no further. For this activity you'll need the following:

-scissors
-clear contact paper
-construction paper--cut into hear shaped frames (see pic below)
-tissue paper (we used colors like red and purple, but it really doesn't matter. Use whatever color your kids like.)--cut or ripped into 1 inch squares

First, take a good size piece of contact paper and tape it down to the table, sticky side up. (Taping it down will keep it from sliding everywhere while your kid is working.)

Next, stick on the cutout heart frames you made from the construction paper.

After that, let your kid slap, sprinkle, dump, gently place as many of the tissue paper pieces as they want within the heart frames. It doesn't matter if they stick tissue paper outside of heart shapes. You'll be cutting the excess away later anyway.

Once your kids are done, take another piece of clear construction paper and place it on top of the other, sandwiching the sticky sides together to "laminate" their work.

Lastly, cut out the hearts, leaving about 1/2 inch around the outside boarder of the heart. Tape up on the window and enjoy!
