Valentines Hearts with Sharpies and Photo Paper

Jackie Currie — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 22:50:45 +0000

Egads! Tomorrow is Valentines Day.

Let me guess. You’re up to your elbows in *Monday*, trying to catch your breath after a whirl-wind weekend, and the kids are asking to make Valentines crafts.

The last thing you feel like doing is hauling out all the craft supplies, and dealing with the craft-tastrophe clean- up afterwards, right? If they’re crafting today, it’s gotta be low-maintenance, no-mess and something that doesn’t require a ton of effort and prep.

Relax. We’ve got you covered.

Today we’re going to show you the easiest Valentines craft ever. We’re making super-simple (but charming) Valentines hearts with Sharpies and photo paper.

Your kids can tuck these colourful and adorable hearts into a card or letter for parent or grandparent or even a teacher or friend.

This one is fun, it's vibrant, and it's a little bit addictive, which means....

It could just keep the kids busy for a good, long while today.

Valentines Art with Sharpies and Tin Foil

Jackie Currie — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 14:08:07 +0000

Hey Lovely,

I know the feeling. Your kids want to craft but you don't want to get all the craft stuff out, and be left with a big mess.

It's probably one of the reasons for saying "no" when they ask to craft, right?

I get it. We moms are busy, and there are enough messes to clean up in a day, never mind the chaos that can come along with craft time.

Well, how would you feel if I told you your kids could have a ton of fun crafting today with about a minute of prep and virtually no clean up.

Got tin foil? Got Sharpies? Great. You're all set for your kids to make some cool Valentines art.

It's slick and shimmery, and the process is really fun.

It's also kind of addictive, so it may just keep the troops entertained for a while.

A win for the kids and a win for you!
