DIY Valentine's Day Crayon Hearts

10:18 Unknown 0 Comments


For Valentine's Day Aiden usually sends a Valentine for each of his friends in his class. This year I decided to add a cute heart shaped crayon with each card. I was tagged in a picture on Facebook, and that's where I got the idea from. Now if you google how to make these, the majority of the tutorials require that you have heart shape molds. I didn't have any and was too excited to wait and go get some. So what I did instead was take an old cookie sheet, (which is now dedicated to crafts; If you want you can lay aluminum foil on the bottom of the pan but it probably wont come out as smooth), and my heart shaped cookie cutter. It was super easy and all it really takes is time. 




INGREDIENTS


  • broken crayons
  • cookie sheet or baking pan
  • aluminum foil (optional)


METHOD
  1. Separate your crayons and remove the wrappers. break them up as small as possible.    
  2. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Lay your crayons on the cookie sheet. 
  3. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let it cool for 15 minutes.
  4. Cut out your hearts and let them cool for another hour before breaking them apart. 
  5. After the hour, break them apart. 
  6. Add a small tag or a coloring page to let the kids know that it's a crayon and  not a cookie or candy lol. 
If your little one is currently obsessed with WWE like Aiden is, then feel free to use this print out 

I attached the crayon to the print out using Elmer's Glue

What Do You Mean We're Not Having A Party?

For Aiden's 6th birthday we decided to not have a party. Aiden didn't know how to react at first but we definitely made it memorable. Cake was something we HAD to have and WWE is his current obsession so decorating his room was the next genius idea. It's really the little things that gets Aiden excited so just being able to wear his "Birthday Boy" button to school was everything!


The next day we went to another little boy's birthday party and then dinner at Friday's that evening. I wanted the staff to sing happy birthday for him but our waitress said they don't that anymore. I was beyond surprised but Aiden didn't know so he didn't care. The night ended with vanilla ice-cream and chocolate cookies.

On the 24th, we spent the day shopping but completely forgot to record any of it. Aiden had fun and had cake all week.
