Crafts: Valentine's Day Tree

My children always enjoy using multiple materials when creating crafts, so for one of our Valentine's Day Projects we made a tree using Magic Stix Markers and hearts cut from recycled wrapping paper.

Materials 

• Paper
• Magic Stix markers 
• White glue
• Hearts of various sizes

Steps 

1. Gather all of your materials.

2. Trace your child's arm and hand on the paper.

3. Allow your child to color the tree.

4. Have your child glue the hearts onto the tree in place of leaves.

5. After the glue has dried, proudly display your child's tree in your home.
