Valentine Hearts q-tip painting

Our first Valentine's Day craft this year was super easy and cheap (2 of my favorite things).  I precut hearts small, medium, large.  With older kids they could get more involved with the tracing and cutting.  I used an ice cube tray to hold the paint colors and regular old q-tips from the bathroom closet.  Claire was able to sharpen her fine motor skills by using the q-tip to paint as well as talk about colors and color mixing, size descrimination, and how much her daddy was going to love her hearts :)  After they dried Claire used a glue stick to help me glue them to solid black construction paper.  We had enough hearts made to make a page for each mamaw to have too.  Looks great hanging on the fridge! (sorry I don't have a pic of it)  Happy Painting!
