Heart stamps from cardboard tubes

Children print hearts with cardboard tubes and make cards for their loved ones.

Steps

1. Show how to squeeze a cardboard tube into a heart shape to make a stamp.
2. Children dip the tubes in red and pink paint and print on cards.
3. Once dry, they write or dictate a message.
4. Children take the cards home for someone special.

Tip: Fold the tube inwards and secure it with tape so it keeps its shape.

Materials needed
