You Are My Favorite Color Valentine's

You Are My Favorite Color Valentine's

Crayon Valentine's

Materials Needed:

  • Crayons
  • Glitter
  • Heart Shaped Baking Sheet
  • Index Cards or Paper of your choice
  • Twine
  • Stamps and Stamp Pad

 

 

Step One:
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

 

Step Two:
Collect all of your used crayons from around the house and peel the paper off of them.

 

Step Three:
Sprinkle glitter into each section of the baking pan.

 

Step Four:
Break each crayon into a few small pieces. Put the crayon pieces into the sections of the pan. We tried to keep similar colors together ie. blues, grays, greens.  You can arrange the colors however you like, though. Each section should have enough crayon pieces that the bottom is completely covered.

 

Step Five:
Put the pan in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes on 300 degrees. Carefully take out of the oven so that you do not mix the colors when they are liquified and warm.  Let the pan cool completely and then put into the freezer for about an hour. When the pan comes out of the freezer, the crayons will pop right out of the pan.

 

Step Six:
Stamp your message on your cardstock or index cards.  We used the message "You are my favorite color"

 

Step Seven:
Attach your crayon to the paper with a small piece of double sided tape or a glue dot. Wrap your twine around it and tie with a bow. Give away to someone you love.
