This week a letter came home with our preschooler in his backpack letting us know that his class would be exchanging Valentine's at their party on Thursday of next week...my brain got busy trying to think of a clever card we could make for his fellow 3 year old classmates :) And this is what we came up with...
What you will need:
4.5 x 6.5 pack of card stock (I found my pack at Hobby Lobby) but I found the same set on Amazon 12x12 paper
Crayons (all of those broken one pieces sitting at the bottom of the box work great!)
Glue dots (found at any craft store)
Glue stick
Silicone Ice Cream Cone Baking Pan
Step 1: Start peeling :)
Step 2: Put crayons into baking pan, if the crayons are still large break them into 1/2's or 1/3's. i think the crayons look better if you put the brighter colors in first like yellow, orange, and pink. I feel I should warn you though, we you put these cuties in the oven it doesn't smell like apple pie! So maybe have your favorite candle burning while baking these :)
Step 3: Bake at 350'F for about 10 min, but check them - some crayons seem to melt faster than others. Let them cool for a good 1 to 2 hours. Peel the crayons out of the pan and "WooHoo" you just finished the cutest little crayons ever! You are almost done now! (Unless you have to make 4 batches like I did)
Step 4: Make small notes for each card. I used publisher and this is what I wrote: Being your friend is a SWEET TREAT, Valentine! Love, Levi. I also added a line below the message for Levi to sign his name to each one. This was probably the longest step of all...a 3 year old can only handle sitting and writing his name over and over so many times before you must take a break :)
Step 4: Attach each crayon with Glue Dots to the card stock and use a glue stick to attach the note.
