Valentines Day

Rather than make cards we decided to make stained glass hearts, an easy and popular activity that proved ideally suited to the two and three year olds. 

I laid out a sheet of sticky backed plastic and the boys had a lovely time sticking different shapes of coloured tissue paper all over the sticky plastic surface. They talked about the sticky texture and really loved the popping noise it made when they pushed it!

When they had covered the entire surface, something that they were very meticulous about, we covered the tissue paper with another layer of sticky backed plastic. I then cut the layer into a variety of different sized hearts that looked lovely and colourful when placed against the window.
