Diy heart crayons for valentines day

This cute idea is a great alternative to candy and was inspired by Lisa’s adorable favors for Lucas’s 3rd birthday numbers & letters last spring. These are easy to do with a preschooler or child of school age. The excitement of watching the crayons transform from a jumbled mess into a new shape is amazing for curious children.

You’ll need these to get started:

If you search on Amazon, there are many options available in different sizes. 2) Lots of crayons. Amazon had the neon, white, pink, and red crayons we wanted. You can use whatever you like to package the items.

Preheat the oven between 150 and 200 degrees. Remove the crayons from the paper. This is a great task for small hands! Next, use an old knife to chop up the crayons. In the mold, arrange them according to your preference. The more we made, the better we became at selecting complementary colors. Put them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Voila!

You can remove them from the mold once they are completely cool. There are hundreds of packaging ideas, but here are a few cute ones to get you started.

You can use tissue paper to wrap them up like candies for a simple and quick idea. If your child is giving them away at school, attach a simple label with “to/from.”

You can also make carrot-print muslin bags in various shades of red and pink. Follow this Pinterest tutorial to cut carrots into heart stamps. This month, we’ve also been using them for dinner, and they’re a great surprise!
