In reply to Kiki. I love your ideas, Kiki, and the way you interact with the children prompting them to come up with observations and realizations on their own rather than stating them yourself.

Credit cards, old hotel key cards, etc. What a great way to incorporate them into art! Some variations:
1: Cut the heart out and place on a larger piece of paper/board and have the kids spread the paint over the heart (with cards or hands) When you lift the heart you have a negative heart shape on the larger paper. Kids love this process!
2: Give kids red and white paint and have them add some of both on their heart. As they swirl it together they create pink. Perfect opportunity to talk about how blending colors make a third color. Ask them where the pink came from. It’s so fun to listen to their explanations. Finally you can state, “You mean when you mix red with white you make pink?” “You made pink!!” You can do this process with red and blue for purple hearts, yellow and red for pumpkins, blue and yellow for green trees, etc.

In reply to Crystal @ Growing A Jeweled Rose. Crystal, you can do it with a thin, sturdy piece of cardboard. I had someone say that they did that. I'm thinking cereal box weight would work!

This is simply fabulous! I can’t wait to do this! I’m tempted to do it with a current card (but I guess I will wait 😉 I have it pinned for later!
