Burnham Bunch: Valentine's Day Heart Collage

(Almost) Valentine's Day

Read: If You'll Be My Valentine by Cynthia Rylant and Guess Who? by Lola Schaefer

Craft: Valentine's Collage
  • Need: Sticky paper, hearts-a-plenty (can use heart cellophane bags and other scrap pieces -- oh and glitter). Scrapbook paper frame. (Bought everything at the $1 bins at Target!!! love it)
  • Prior to storytime, cut-out strips of scrapbook to construct a frame. Set up each seat with sticky paper and frame.
  • Again explained the concept of collage ....
  • In the middle of each table place various bits and bops and have the children "have at it"
  • I offered each child some red glitter as well -- applied by me for less mess! 
  • I improvised in the end, because the children did not cover the entire sticky surface. So, I applied a piece of copy paper to the back of each picture and instructed the children to write their names on the back of their picture.


Our completed project inspired by Laugh, Paint, Create
