Web Wednesday: Garland of Hearts


Now I know it is only January, but Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. There are so many great kid friendly crafts to make for Valentine's Day, just like this Garland of Hearts project. One of the best surfaces to have kids craft on is styrofoam. A great paint for kids to use when crafting with styrofoam is, Apple Barrel. This is such an easy to create project that the kids will be happy to make. Aside from styrofoam, and Apple Barrel paint you will need a few more supplies. This craft was designed by, Margaret Riley. To see the complete list of supplies and instructions on how to create this project, click here.
