Great big heart

Today I'm going to share a great big heart with you.   I was stuck at home sick for a few days and worked on it.  I think it is just plain adorable.  I'm going to hang it in my preschool room.

I started with a big piece of foam core.  I cut it into the shape of a heart.

Next, I cut up a bunch of tissue paper into squares.  The squares don't have to be perfect, people!

Start gluing the tissue paper squares on by wrapping them around the bottom of a pen or pencil.  You know you did this when you were in elementary school!

 Keep going... this is going to take awhile.  This is a great kid project so put them to work!

Finished!  I just love it.  I modpodged tissue paper on the back so that looked finished too.   If you would like to see more valentine ideas, come back next week!
