Supplies for Valentine garden

• chair foam
• construction paper
• paint
• edger scissors 
• glue
• craft sticks

 

Instructions for Valentine garden

 

1. Trim a piece of foam to the desired size for the base. Use pinking shears if available to make a crinkled edge.

2.  Paint the foam green.

We combined blue and yellow paint to make green since we only had a neon green on hand and it didn't seem to suit this craft.

Mixing paint colors is another learning opportunity for kids!

 

 

3. Cut heart shapes with edger scissors to make petals and leaves.

4. Cut the green hearts in half length-wise to make leaves.

5. Paint craft stick stems with green paint, or color them with green markers or crayons.

 

6. Glue the petals and leaves to the stems.

7. Make cuts in the foam with a craft knife to insert the flowers.
