Materials:

• Crayon pieces
• Heart-shaped metal cookie or muffin tin (our hearts are about 1 1/2 inches across)
• Scrap paper
• Double-sided foam mounting tape
• Scissors
• Colored card stock
• Marker

Directions:

1. Heat the oven to 250°.
2. Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes. Tip: Place a sheet pan under the crayons to catch any drips.
3. Once they’re cool, remove the hearts from the molds and smooth any rough edges by rubbing them on a piece of scrap paper.
4. Use small pieces of foam tape to stick each heart to a 3-inch circle cut from card stock.Suggested messages:
   You color my world
   Valentine, you make my heart melt
   Have a happy Valentine’s Day, for “crayon” out loud!
