  • scissors
  • glue
  • construction paper
  • plastic needle
  • yarn
  • buttons
  • pencil
  • hole puncher
  • heart templates 

 

 

  1. Print out my heart templates. 
  2. Use my Elements of Art Hearts pack for a color theory lesson and more!
  3. Cut, trace, and sort different sized hearts onto construction paper.  Tip: have precut squares in different sizes. This reduces paper waste.
  4. Glue hearts together. If you do not have buttons, punch four holes in the shape of an “X” and thread yarn through it.
  5. Use buttons for an extra decorative piece. Also, take this craft a step further and create the hearts with felt to add more texture!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
