Happy Valentine’s Day!

The other day, DJ and I were working on a Valentine’s surprise for family members.

We started by peeling of crayons…

Then we mixed colors into a foil-lined muffin pan. DJ did a great job mixing coordinating colors together.

These were then placed in the oven to melt.

In the meantime, DJ made funny faces to pass time…

This is how the melted crayons looked

After they hardened a little, we formed them into a heart shape.

The finished crayon heart looked like this

So they didn’t turn out as pretty as we thought (but DJ was proud of it and that’s all that counts) and we didn’t have enough melted crayons to make more hearts. :(

Only daddy ended up with a crayon heart pendant for Valentine’s Day. Sorry everyone else! :) 

Here are the directions in case you want to try it with your little guys -http://wondertime.go.com/create-and-play/crafts/valentines-crayon-necklace.html.

Have a great Valentine’s Day!
