Each year/holiday I try to come up with something cute to give my parents from their kids. This idea actually came while I was just having the girls color with markers. I love to have them use different surfaces to color on, especially coffee filters and paper towels because the colors run together when they get wet. So I had this idea and ran with it :)
This one was really fun to make and super easy!
All I did was take a coffee filter and let the girls use markers to make it look pretty. I like to use the scented markers just for an added sensory experience.
Now, you will need water. I didn't have a spray bottle handy but that would work probably better than using your hands:) Spray or use your hands to splash water on the coffee filter so that it's damp and then hold it up so the colors begin to run.
Then, set the coffee filter on a piece of paper towel to dry. After it's dry, cut the filter into a heart and then glue it to colorful piece of paper. I asked the girls what they loved, and since they are 2 and 18 months my answers were hilarious :)
I then framed these up and gave them to the parents as a Valentine's gift from the kids. Super cute, and super easy :)
