Our Valentines

We made our own Valentines this year and had a blast doing it!  (Thanks Pinterest!)  First, we had to peel the paper off of and break into pieces many, many, many crayons!

Then we took the broken crayon pieces and randomly placed them in our star muffin tin.

And into the oven…220 degrees for about 20 minutes.  I kept a close eye on the crayons since I wanted to pull them out of the oven before the colors melted into pure liquid and became a solid brown color.

It took a little bit of trial and error but at the end of the day we had  14 beautiful star crayons!

Jesse wanted his put on “star” valentines.

The boys’ valentine’s said, “You’re a Superstar!” and the girls’ said, “Jesus’ love is out of this world!”

Trey wanted his to be in the shape of hearts, and they all said, “Jesus’ love is out of this world!”  Our valentine’s were super easy to make and  a huge hit in both the kindergarten and 4th grade.
