How To Make A Heart Suncatcher

We love to decorate our house for the holidays with crafts for kids.  Since Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, we’ve been putting hearts everywhere!  My children loved making our Ghost Suncatcher and Christmas Ornament Suncatcher, so we made a Heart Suncatcher today.

Supplies to make a Heart Suncatcher:

• Wax Paper
• Scissors
• Purple Paint
• Pink Paint
• Small Paper Plate
• Clothespin
• Cotton Ball
• Tape

Directions to make a Heart Suncatcher:

1. Cut a heart out of the wax paper.  If your child is just learning how to use scissors, he or she may need hand-over-hand help because the wax paper can be difficult for little ones to cut.
2. Pour each paint color onto a small paper plate.  My children picked out purple and pink but you can use any color.
3. Open up a clothespin and put a cotton ball or pom pom inside so the end is partly sticking out.  You can also use a paintbrush for this activity.
4. Dip the cotton ball into the paint and press it down on the wax paper.  You can make patterns on your heart or blend the colors together.
5. After the paint dries, tape your Heart Suncatcher on a window.

Your children are sure to have fun using a cotton ball to paint this Heart Suncatcher and create an adorable Valentine’s Day decoration.
