Today I wanted to share a cute Valentine craft for kids… using crayons!

Here’s what you need:

*heart shaped silicone ice cube tray (I found mine in a two pack @ Target for $3. Michael’s also had trays for under $2.)

* crayons (new or used)

* a knife

* cutting board

Step 1. Unwrap all the crayons. (Grab a chair, and turn on some fun music. This takes a few minutes.)

Step 2. Chop up the crayons.

Step 3. Place the crayon bits in the silicone tray.

Step 4. Set the ice cube tray on a cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 250*

Step 5. Once the crayons are completely cooled, pop them out of the tray.

Now comes the fun part: decorating your creation! I used free pink, white, and red paint samples from Wally World. Craft paper, card stock, or poster board also works. The papers and crayons were glued together using hot glue. Add a cute saying with pen, marker, or a typed out slip of paper.

Your child can sign the Valentine, too, if they want.

Super cute, right? And so kid friendly.

If you have a second, stop on by Free Stylin’! This week I made a YUMMY treat with the second heart shaped ice cube tray. Come take a look! You can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Thanks so much for having me, Jamie! And Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
