Hearts on a String!

The following is a craft our first graders will be making to honor their moms for Mother's day! 
It's a fun and easy activity that you can also do with your children in your own home! 

All you need is the following:
1. Wax Paper
2. Colorful crayon shavings
3. A hot iron
4. Scissors

Step 1:
Create crayon shavings:


Step 2:
Draw a fun desgin (ie. heart) and place crayon shavings into the shape:


Step 3:
Add another sheet of wax paper on top, then proceed to iron together.

Step 4:
Once cooled, cut out and hole punch near the top of the heart.  Add a piece of ribbon or string, and tie together.  The finished product is a one of a kind heart, made with love!

Special Thanks for the wonderful idea:
