A Valentine Craft

It's cold out and some of us weren't feeling all that well this morning, so we looked for something to do around the house. With Valentine's Day coming right up an idea I saw on Pinterest seemed to fit the bill.

With some white cardstock paper, a white crayon and watercolors we were off and running. While the kids were in the other room I drew hearts on the paper with a pencil and then used my white crayon to write them a secret message inside. Caroline and Jackson noticed the white crayon right away but Ryan was happily oblivious to it at the start. Then they started painting and their secret messages began to reveal themselves. 

Here are the finished products. It was quick, easy, fun and added some holiday decor to our walls.
