Valentine's Day Ideas: Make These Colorful Crayon Hearts

The big day is fast approaching. And we've decided that now's a better time than ever to help you settle into the loving spirit. Today's Valentine's Day idea features a colorful project by Whipperberry that proves this day goes beyond just red and pink.

Though newer crayons are recommended, this project also works perfectly with those extra crayon stubs lying around your home. And with so much room to experiment with color combinations (we love purple and blue or orange and yellow), mold designs, and different embellishments, this craft is a great activity for friends and family to enjoy together.. Visit Whipperberry's website for the list of supplies, a full tutorial, and additional recommendations that help enhance this project.
