Materials Needed

• Conversation heart candies
• Glue
• White card stock
• Pencil

Step by Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out your materials on a clean, flat surface. Having a bowl of conversation hearts within easy reach makes the crafting process smoother.
2. Design Your Layout: Before gluing, plan out your design on the white card stock. You might want to spell out a special message, create a heart shape, or arrange the candies in a border. Play around with the colors and messages to get the look you desire. Pencil it out.

1. Apply Glue: Once you’re happy with your design, apply glue to the pencil line and start to glue down each conversation heart candy along the line. Be careful not to use too much glue to avoid a messy finish.
2. Place the Candies: Stick the candies onto the card stock according to your layout. Press them gently to ensure they adhere well but don’t crush the candies.

1. Let It Dry: Allow your craft to dry completely. This might take a few hours, depending on how much glue you used.
2. Display or Gift: Your conversation heart craft is now ready to be displayed or gifted! Consider framing your creation or using it as a Valentine’s card for someone special.

Tips for Success

• If working with younger children, supervise the use of glue to keep the project neat.
• Experiment with different layouts before committing to glue. Taking a photo of your favorite arrangement can help you remember the placement.
• For a longer-lasting craft, consider sealing the finished project with a clear acrylic spray (adult supervision required).

Skills Learned

• Creativity: Selecting colors and arranging the candies encourages artistic expression.
• Fine Motor Skills: Picking up and placing small candies helps develop precision and dexterity.
• Reading and Spelling: Reading the messages on the candies and forming words or phrases supports literacy skills.
• Planning and Execution: Designing a layout and following through with the project teaches planning and attention to detail.
