Kid Made Valentines Card
This kid-made Valentine’s Day card requires only a handful of supplies you’ve likely got lying around your classroom. Read on to see how easy it is.
What You’ll Need
- Potatoes
- Blue cardstock
- Yellow acrylic paint
- Markers – black, white
- Googly eyes, small
- Glue stick
What You’ll Do
To starte, gather your supplies. Then, cut your potato in half width-wise.
Pour a generous amount of yellow paint on a flat surface. We like to use paper plates.
Now, get your cards ready by cutting cardstock to size. We used small squares of two different colors of blue cardstock.
You can get 4 small squares out of one sheet of cardstock. But you can use any size card you’d like.
Next, dip the cut end of the potato in the yellow paint. Make sure it’s covered completely.
Stamp the potato on the card. We did one stamp per card. If you use red potatoes instead of baking potatoes, you can make smaller stamps on the cards.
Once all the bees are stamped, let the paint dry completely.
Then, glue googly eyes in position on the bees.
Use the black marker to draw antennas.
Use the black and/or white marker to draw heart shaped wings, too.
After making sure the paint from the stamp is completely dry, use the black marker to also draw lines across the bee.
Finally, write your BEE mine message on the bottom of the cards.
Now, your adorable card is ready to pass out to friends and classmates!
