Sticky Heart Craft for Kids
Materials
- Contact paper
- A marker
- Scissors
- Tape
- Tissue paper
- Optional: red duct tape
Method
- Begin by tracing a heart on contact paper. You can make hearts in varying sizes.
- Cut the hearts out and tape them to a window with the sticky side of the contact paper facing out.
- Once the hearts are taped up and the protective paper is removed you will have sticky hearts!
- Give kids tissue paper pieces, and they will delight in sticking the pieces to the hearts to make colorful sun catchers.
My girls loved this activity so much that we ended up making several sticky hearts. Once Rosie and Jewel were done we were left with beautiful sun-catchers that perfectly decorated our windows for Valentine's Day.
A Few Tips:
- You only need a few pieces of masking tape to hang these in the window.
- I outlined the first big heart collage the girls made with red tape just so that they could clearly see that it was a heart they were filling in. The red tape is not needed but makes a cute addition.
- Contact paper can be found in the home improvement aisle of Walmart/Target as well as most school supply aisles. It can also be found online here.
- For this activity we used regular tissue paper and cut it into pieces, but you can also buy pre-cut tissue paper squares if you prefer.
