I know that Valentines came and went but I had this lovely wooden heart that I got at Joann’s a little while back and I wanted to do something special with them. I’ve been doing a lot of crafts with my little man lately and I decided that this project needed my little man help. My kiddo loves to get his hands messy any chance he gets and this was the perfect project for him. However, be warned you will need to be awry of runners and by that I mean kiddos who love to run around the house with painted hands! I have hear horror stories of little one just bolting the first chance they got and painting the house with little finger prints while their parent stand there in shock and horror. Haha, I laugh now but I would be pulling my hair out if it happened to me!
Enough about children with tiny evil intentions and imagine a world where children do as you say, hehe. I painted the wooden heart white.
Once it was dried I painted my little kiddos hand black, the entire time telling him to stay still and praying he did, then followed with a run to the bathroom to wash his hands as fast as I could.
I decided that the wooden heart still needed something, so I decided to stencil the word love on the heart in black.
I got the stencil at the CHA show and it one of Martha Stewart.
Ta-da! Now you have a beautiful wooden heart with hand prints of your kiddo. It can be a memory plague for yourself or maybe for the grandparents.
Stay Crafty,
