An Activity for All Ages

Create a welcoming heart craft to show that your home or classroom is a loving and friendly environment for all.

Before You Begin:

Gather some old carboard boxes, glitter, glue, yarn and washable craft paint. This craft is all about using recycled materials, so incorporate any interesting textured materials that you have available.

Activity Goals:

Demonstrate how recycled materials can be turned into works of art.
Create a welcoming heart craft to hang on your door for all to see.
While children are engaged in the craft, take a moment to ask what love means to them and whom they love.

Furthermore:

Create a fun atmosphere by asking children to bring their recycled materials to the craft table and letting them be creative in how they use them. Some children will want to create very neat and tidy heart hangers while others will take a more abstract approach.
