Love Lights

Light up your little valentine’s heart by crafting jar lanterns together.

Instructions

1.

Prep by cutting hearts out of the tissue paper. By about 4 years old, many children can learn how to fold the paper in half and cut out heart shapes. Try it together!

2.

Your little artist can dip the brush into the glue and paint a thin layer of glue on the outside of the glass jar.

3.

Stick the hearts onto the glue. You can keep them separate or overlap them. Be creative with the heart designs!

4.

Once the surface is dry, paint more glue on the outside. Let it harden.

5.

Use a votive candle (or a battery-operated “flame”) to spruce up your family’s dinner table!
