Today I am bringing you an EASY & FUN kids craft involving PENCILS!
You see so many cute pencil packs this time of year, so here's a couple ideas to use with them!
I have two quick & easy ideas for you & the kids will LOVE them both. These are the PERFECT craft idea for your child's classroom parties at school or to do with them at home, so have FUN!
First up - this super easy favor to make in class with a group of kids or you can have your kids make them to give as a valentine. A few ideas for ya on this one!
To create:
1. I had my daughter use the craft coloring sheet from the Silly Hearts collection & colored in one of the hearts & cut it out
2. take pipe cleaner & twist in knot at top of a pencil
3. continue wrapping the pipe cleaner around another pencil to create the 'twisted' effect
4. repeat on other side until you get the 'antennae' look
5. cut a heart shape out of the pattern paper from the Silly Hearts collection, 6. fold vertically in 1/2
7. snip 2 cuts on the fold - one about an inch down from the top & the other an inch from bottom - both about 1/2 in.
8. insert pencil w/ antennae in the 2 holes snipped
9. glue on sides of heart from step 1 & adhere to the heart w/ the pencil in it (don't glue entire backside of silly face heart - so it allows you to remove pencil)
Next up . . . Valentines pencil! This is a perfect IDEA to use as actual Valentines for your kids to hand out in class!
To create:
1. take pipe cleaner & measure down about 8 in & create a loop
2. cross the loop towards the bottom
3. twist them together
4. it should look like this
5. start twisting the bottom of pipe cleaner around the top of a pencil
6. it should look like this . . .

the center of your loop
