Get creative this Valentine’s Day by making wax paper crayon hearts – a fun and colorful activity that will bring joy to your kids.

Fold a sheet of waxed paper in half along its length. Sprinkle wax-crayon shavings (that you make with pencil sharpener) across one-half of the page. Fold the clean half over. Place the waxed paper with shavings on top of kraft paper and lay another piece of kraft paper over the top. Using an iron on medium heat, iron the papers until the crayon is melted. Once the wax is completely melted, trace out hearts of various sizes and cut out. To finish, glue a piece of ribbon on each heart to hang or add to homemade Valentine’s Day cards.
